A political attack becomes a surprising positive when Dr. Dave and Evil Steve celebrate Rush Limbaugh auctioning a Senate letter and doubling the proceeds for charity. Dr. Dave extends the week's music-distribution discussion into a broader business principle: the connection between provider and customer should be as direct as possible, and a threatened middleman should redesign the model instead of fighting the people it depends on. The original Computer Talk archive appears as the most popular part of DaveMason.com because listeners can retrieve a particular answer without replaying an entire broadcast, while a family update captures Dr. Dave's son Nick using a remembered football commercial to stretch across the goal line for two points. The brothers also mark Evil Steve finally bringing Internet access home and Dr. Dave anticipates that ever-denser storage will require extraordinary tools and judgment when data must be recovered.
