## Notable Events

* Josiah revealed that he had been waiting to do a Guill-ection special episode of Globe Hell Warning to cover the 2020 U.S. Presidential election and Drew was going to Washington to cover it, only for Josiah to later discover that Drew had instead gone to Spokane, Washington instead of the U.S. capital Washington, D.C.
* At the beginning of the episode, Drew emphatically stated that he was not in Spokane, Washington at the time of recording this episode, but rather had already returned home by that time and was recording the episode from his apartment in Calgary. However, he later dropped all artifice and revealed that he was in fact recording the episode on a bus, which helps account for some of the noises that can be heard in the background of the episode like honking horns, snoring, and singing.
* This episode's Seg-Mind involved breathing in while saying "Harry Potter" (not after or before), then breathing out while saying "no longer" (not after or before). This was repeated several times while Drew's seat on the bus was getting kicked from behind and music played in the background. Then Drew's bus started honking its horn, drowning out the sound of Drew's voice entirely.
* Josiah revealed that Drew's trip to Spokane, Washington was to visit his 17 year old son Barry who lives there. Barry was stressed out by the election so Drew visited him to help comfort him through election night. They did not anticipate how long it would take to count all the ballots cast in the election, though.
* Drew can be heard urinating in the bus restroom at one point in the episode.
* Drew can be heard yelling at his fellow bus passengers numerous times throughout the episode, imploring them to be quiet so he can record the podcast without disruptions.
* Drew revealed that this trip was the first time he had seen Barry since he was born. Barry was not happy with Drew for having missed so many of his major life experiences, like his graduation and his wedding. Drew stated that he felt he and Barry never really clicked at Barry's birth so Drew left.
* Drew wore a face mask when meeting Barry on this trip due to concerns about COVID-19 and also to come off as familiar to Barry, who had previously only seen Drew before at his own birth when Drew was wearing a surgical mask.
* Drew was the doctor who delivered Barry. He adopted Barry on the spot but upon feeling no connection with him due to 'dopter's remorse, he abandoned him. As a result, Drew's math teacher - who he was dating at the time - was left to raise Barry by herself.
* Drew and his math teacher adopted Barry as an unmarried couple. They stayed together for a couple years after Drew abandoned Barry, though Drew had nothing to do with the child. He didn't even see Barry for the rest of his relationship with his math teacher. He was able to do this by wearing glasses that have a curtain in front of them that he could open and close based on whether Barry was in the same room as him. Drew would know he was in the same room as Barry by sensing his terrible vibe. He does not still own that pair of curtain glasses.
* Drew revealed that Barry is the #1 quarterback in Washington and that he is going to university on a full scholarship.
* Drew stated that he still gets a bad vibe from Barry and he doesn't trust him. Drew feels like Barry's charity work is actually of dubious repute and covers something he is trying to hide. Drew feels he is a goody-two-shoes.
* Josiah revealed that Drew's math teacher reached out to Josiah right after Barry's birth and subsequent adoption to fill the void left by Drew curtaining himself off from Barry. This is how Barry was able to learn how to tie his shoes and ride a bike and throw ball. Drew did not see this because of his curtain glasses. As a result, Barry has always called Josiah "Papa". He called Drew "Popeye" ironically to make fun of him for being so weak, though Drew heard this as "Papa".
* Drew stated that he would ask Barry to move to Calgary to live with him as soon as Drew gets off the bus.
* Josiah revealed that he taught Barry how to throw a perfect spiral on the pigskin.
* Barry asked Josiah to play a video letter he wrote and recorded for Drew. It read as follows:
	+ "Once I traveled by bus from Delhi to Jaipur. I reached the bus stand. I got a ticket. The bus started after half an hour at 6 pm and traveled at a good speed, although there was a lot of traffic on the way. The lorries, buses, cars, and other vehicles passed on the way. Soon dusk fell. There was darkness everywhere. There were lights near the towns. Suddenly the bus stopped. There was some trouble with the engine. It was very cold at night. There were about 50 passengers who were traveling with us. The driver came out of the bus. He took the help of another bus driver. They opened the engine and did some adjustments. Fortunately, the bus started again. I reached Jaipur one hour late. There was no mishap on the way."
* Josiah told Drew that Barry doesn't listen to Globe Hell Warning because he doesn't think Drew is funny.
* The other bus passengers started singing *Somewhere Over The Rainbow* but they didn't give Drew a lyric sheet so he couldn't sing along with them.

## Notable Quotes

### Josiah

* "[On the topic of Drew's headphones being covered in shit] Well if you've got - if your headphones are covered in shit, that's more of a you problem. I don't think you should be using - you can buy products if you're wanting to put earbuds or something up there. You don't need to be using your headphones if you're looking for something that is a small plastic ball-on-a-string that you can put somewhere that it might get shit all over it. You don't need to use your headphones for that, Drew."
* "So you admit you're on a bus. So you do admit that you're on a bus and it is canon that you are always - when you're speaking to me on this podcast - jacking off, so you're jacking off in the back of a bus right now in Spokane, Washington."

### Drew

* "It's almost like I'm talking to you in person because of the smell. It's almost like, if I close my eyes, it was almost like you were right here because of the nasty smell of this bus. My apartment. My apartment. My apartment. My apartment. My apartment."

You ever meet somebody and it's just like 'You know what, they're a nice person, they're nice enough,' you know, um nothing really outward about them that you hate, but you just get a weird feeling, maybe it's just the way they shake your hand gives you a funny vibe."

## Trivia

* This is the first main episode to exclude both the words "World" and "Wide" from the title, though it is the second episode to exclude the word "Wide" after Episode 14: World Wife.
* This is the second main episode to exclude the episode number from the episode title after World Wide High School, though it should be noted that Episode 9: World Wide Landlord was originally titled simply "World Wide Landlord" until a subsequent retraction was made to correct the oversight.
* This is the first main episode to not propose a new Globe Hell idea.
	+ Note: Until this episode, each even-numbered episode had centered around an idea of Josiah's creation, and each odd-numbered episode had centered around an idea of Drew's creation (except for Episode 1: World Wide Train which has a disputed origin and Episode 15: World Wide Beer with special guest Tom which centered on an idea that Drew outsourced to world famous streamer and creator of Chapo Trap House Podcast Tom).
* Drew can be heard farting several times during the episode.
