Alex introduces "Hyperfixed," a podcast where listeners submit problems for Alex to solve. This episode features Casey, a librarian who seeks to uncover the mystery behind a button from the Busy Beaver Button Museum that reads, "Ask Me About Our New Diarrhea Inducing Chili Cheese Fries," complete with a restaurant name and address that doesn't exist. Alex and producer Emma investigate, eventually discovering that a former Busy Beaver employee named Nick created the button as a joke to baffle future collectors. The story concludes with Nick sending Casey one of the original buttons and the podcast updating the button's online entry to include Casey's story.
