Randy and Jason discuss Prometheus and stardust theories. Randy drives the school bus and Jason is wildly confused with Randy’s contrition. What’s fair in team sports?

Jason comes in hot, late, time’s short and grades are flying in.  Randy realizes what talking to 8th graders is actually like. Social ties are unravelling. But the dance goes on. You should date so and so, but not too much seven in heaven. Always practice empathy, by the way is her leg broken?

Randy still won’t answer the phone even if he’s lost. Jason wants someone he knows to call. As always, don’t mow down the pedestrians and store your money in buckets. Then you can buy Rubick’s Cube Lube. Back to cell phones and they are the worst even if they teach you how to play guitar.
