   Relax, you didn't miss anything newsworthy....   
      
   I think from time to time Matt & Trey just like to relax and take a vacation   
   from "real life" to do a silly story about nothing in particular, or maybe   
   this was an idea they've been wanting to do for a while and the lack of any   
   real "news" gave them an opportunity to just fill up some airtime.   
      
   It was just a silly story that starts off as one thing, gets involved in   
   another and winds up being about something completely the opposite of what   
   you were expecting.   
      
   I liked the "twist" ending, I "got it" immediately and enjoyed the rug being   
   pulled out from under me :-)
