Episode description
A chain of cupcake stores went out of business and the Internet is FREAKING OUT, MAN. An enterprising eBay user is selling the 'last cupcake' for $250. Jeff and Anthony try to figure out why we cling to the past so much.
Special bonus mentions: Potato salad kickstarters and self-administering electric shocks rather than being alone with your own thoughts.
