In the satirical piece, the hosts are amazed by the morning discovery of the "perfectly preserved ruins of an online community called Friendster." Internet Archeologist Dr. Maxwell Fry joins the show and describes his excavation project saying, "As soon as I entered the site, I knew I was the first human being to lay eyes on the those pages in many, many years."

Dr. Fry then goes on to describe the rise and fall of the Friendster "civilization" that completely fell off the face of the earth in 2005. The portrayal of Friendster as a lost civilization reaches its comedic climax, however, when Dr. Fry theorizes that Friendster was ephemeral by nature. He suggests, "Others believe that Friendster was only meant to exist temporarily, to fill a void left by another mysterious civilization known as Awl or Ah-ool."
