* During the Roller Coaster Rampage Quick Look, Vinny notices that the top of the leaderboards for several levels is occupied by a user named Bigjeffrey. The rest of the video alternates between [[NamesTheSame Jeff]] playing the role of the drunken sex offender and amusement park owner Big Jeffrey, and he and Vinny laughing at the game's busted physics engine.

* During the preamble to the [[https://youtu.be/7IJZpwOQE3E September 2021 Nintendo Direct]] everyone is joking about Randy Savage. Jess does an impression of him but reveals that she actually was doing an impression of Bonesaw because she isn't very familiar with Randy Savage. Then she googles who played Bonesaw.

Added DiffLines:

* To test the audio in the new east coast studio, Vinny does a solo run of Bot Colony, because it uses voice recognition. It does not go well, not just because the voice recognition is terrible, but because [[ArtificialStupidity the game can't seem to parse anything he's saying]]. Getting a robot to move a pepper grinder takes almost half an hour.
-->'''Vinny:''' Put the pepper grinder down.
-->'''Jimmy:''' Where should I put it?
-->'''Vinny:''' Next to the coffee maker.
-->'''Jimmy:''' A coffee maker is a small machine for making cups of coffee. [places the pepper grinder ''on top of'' the coffee maker]
-->'''Vinny:''' Hahahaha...[[LaughingMad AAAAAAH]]
** When Vinny's patience is starting to wear thin, he decides to test the "create a command" function:
--->'''Vinny:''' [deadpan] Get up...get down...[[Music/PublicEnemy 911 is a joke in your town]]
** Vinny's RageBreakingPoint is when Jimmy the robot, after being told one last time to pick up the pepper grinder, walks out of the room and confidently says "Aha! I pick up the pepper grinder". Vinny tosses off his headphones and just leaves.

Guest star Alex talks quite a bit about how his girlfriend Sam is really dedicated to the game, up to buying tags to get certain villagers onto their island and musing on who should rotate out of the community. Sam unexpectedly calls him out mid-conversation.

Drew says "that's un-404-tunate"... and after a moment of silence, music plays to signal the end of the podcast.
