[Explicit Warning]
 In this episode, Del discusses the importance of what he calls book buddies, people who can recommend books to a friend that the friend might not normally read otherwise. During the discussion, the following books are touched upon: I AM THE MESSENGER and THE BOOK THIEF by Marcus Zusak, IN THE GARDEN OF THE BEAST by Erik Larsen, and THE BARTENDER'S TALE by Ivan Doig.

Dave tells another  story about Gene, already famous for his exploding car mishap. Teenager Gene is smitten by sweet Mary Jones but can't get past second base. Her father hires Gene and Dave for some part-time farm work. Pain and suffering ensue. A life lesson is learned.

Dave finally gets to talk about Miss Neff, his all-time favorite teacher, and how he learned much more than English from her. Del follows up with a discussion on his favorite, Mr. Cochenour.

Del tells a bicycling story or is it a cow story. Remember, this is the mind that created the now-defunct Loser Lotto.

We get a letter from Superman and learn that even he makes mistakes.

Special thanks to Judy, Susan, Peggy, Toniann, Larry, and Tom for their contributions to the Miss Neff tribute.
