Episode notes
Crowsing

- He observes this as a vestigial mating ritual from their youth, now out of context in 2023.
Modern Youth
- Blindboy contrasts crowsing with the behavior of young men today, who ride electric bikes wearing balaclavas.
- One even used a small recycling bin as a makeshift seat, highlighting the generational shift in youthful rebellion.
Underpants Drive

- His grandmother, upon seeing him, began reciting the rosary, believing it a deliberate, nudist act.
