Jokes about Libby's family all being dead lead into the story of the viral McRib character sketch, including how it caused real backlash at a specific McDonald's location.
- Tim describes Libby's appearance as resembling someone who burned down an orphanage and fled town on a boxcar.
- Libby mentions she has a sister, but everyone else in her family is dead from old age.
- Tim and Libby joke about looking related and waiting for each other to show up on 23andMe as close relatives amid family deaths in a tornado.
- Libby's sister lives in Missouri, is very funny, but terrified of public attention.
- Libby almost didn't post the McRib video; Tim convinced her by saying he'd post it himself if she didn't.
- The McRib video included a location that Tim improvised, which he worried would cause problems for that McDonald's.
- People called and sent things to the McDonald's after the video, creating chaos for workers, though that's just boredom being solved.
- The McDonald's staff got mad at Libby every time she came through the drive-through, telling her not to return.
