* CutLexLuthorACheck: Oscar points out that WUPHF, with its ability to send the same message to so many media at once, would actually be very useful and profitable as an emergency alert service, but Ryan ''insists'' it has to be a social media app.
Added DiffLines:
* ItsASmallNetAfterAll: The ".com" domain extension is short for "commerce", and a "Public Health Fund" should really be using ".org", but if Washington University did that, [[AnthropicPrinciple there would be no plot]]. So, for the purposes of this episode, only one domain exists, and Ryan has it.
