Corrections
- When Karl was talking about Stand By Me, he said "World War I" when he meant "World War II". He was so ashamed of this mistake that he wanted to delete the whole episode.
- Liam said "Mia Sorella" means "my sister" in Spanish, but he meant Italian. He was so ashamed of this mistake that he wanted to go further, and destroy not only the recording but also the computer we used to make it.
- Aaron said that he thought there were 3 or 4 books in the George Smiley series, but this was a massive underestimation. There are 9.
- Aaron said Nabokov was a genius in literacy. He meant literature. The fact that he chose the wrong word proves that he is not a genius in any field.
- Liam accidentally stated that "Go Your Own Way" by Fleetwood Mac was called "You Can Go Your Own Way". Honestly, the rest of us didn't think this was that big a deal, but Liam wanted to make sure we mentioned it here anyway.
