What Does it All Mean?!
Brian and Justin have a county-fair-level intuition, so they tried to guess the meanings behind a few of Marian's songs after only hearing the titles. Then Marian and Brian performed some snippets of the songs to see if Brian and Justin were correct.
- Temporal Dominos - It's about time traveling pizza. A woman picks up the phone to order pizza, but on the other end of the line is Alexander Graham Bell. Turns out, instead of Domino's Pizza, she called Temporal Dominos, which is essentially a time travel party line in which you can speak with historical figures.

- Vera Flew the Coop - It's about the fifth "Golden Girl" who had syphilis in the expanded universe. She was around five years after the official Golden Girls canon ended. She went insane, but she still got her pilot's license. She would do drug runs in the Caribbean, but since she was insane, she thought she was flying a dragon. Also, she was having sex with the then Surgeon General, C. Everett Coop. She then flew Coop into a vortex in the Bermuda Triangle where they met Marian Call.

So Paula Deen, Right?
A day or two earlier it came out that Food Network host, Paula Deen, loves using the N-word. She was promptly fired and her career is probably over. However, Paula Deen has an interesting connection to the BBverse. Six years earlier, Brian was a guest on "Paula's Party" in which he ate fire and spit all sorts of flaming poison on some food. You can watch Brian's appearance here.
