Episode notes
Backup Woes

- The hosts forgot to include HP iPods in their iPod tier list.
- They justify the omission, stating the HP iPods were simply rebranded Apple iPods with an unappealing color.

- Japanese grading systems vary, but 'Shu' often corresponds to scores of 90-100% and is rarely awarded.
