Summary

Hey, Neighbor, the family almost had to do this episode WITHOUT the Comedian because John is passing a kidney stone. But he is present and soldiering on! (If you struggle with the same ailment, Luke has a suggestion for something to try.)

Drink more water, find the nearest theme park, and try to get some "bang" for your buck.

Next: John and his wife are landlords who have been fighting a legal battle with a group of squatters for over a year... The whole Branyan family pitched in this weekend, to help clean up the mess left behind by these people. Why would someone hang a boat motor from a tree? Maybe for the same reason they would keep a rotting deer head in their kitchen? Or a hollowed out tree stump full of scrap metal?

Later: Let's try to make sense of the fact that some human beings actually live in that sort of squalor (and refuse to pay any bills). What causes someone to make those sorts of decisions?

And if you've never read the Lord of the Flies, tune in for a quick summary of what you're missing.
