| 2010-06-21 | You're Gonna Die 00:01:04 | callback | Restating Hank, John says we don't choose whether we lose the games we play, but we choose which games; we can't choose whether to care, only what to care about. |
| 2010-09-27 | Stop Embarrassing Yourself 00:01:19 | callback | Hank riffs on The Game: the common comment 'you lose the game' is often misspelled, so he thinks of the failure of the American education system instead of losing. |
