It turns out Bob misunderstood Cody. When he said he wanted to bid on a case of beer...he was talking about root beer! That makes more sense. "And we want his mama to know that!" "And the people at school to know that!" "His neighbors should know that!" "His driving instructor should know that!"

After that, the next calldown, John, nearly passes out before he can look at the item up for bids! He can't even stand up!
