    This episode goes in more directions than a bottle rocket with a broken stick! The show starts with Shane and Q singing classic rock songs then shifts seamlessly to viral golf course fights. The value of having a redneck friend morphs into remembering their afternoon at top golf then somehow turns to a rant about giving personal information to corporations. Property taxes is the next concept on the chopping block and both men agree to a certain admiration for the killdozer. Questions of right vs wrong leads to an examination about whether it's moral to kill a home intruder and a rumination about the belief that being honest is both a blessing and a curse.
