 Hairy makes an attempt at "negging" by suggesting that Danish's fruit plate reflects a need to lose weight. Danish, naturally being a master at psychological manipulation, immediately realizes his game, and crushes him utterly by taking [[440: Road Rage|another shot in the psychological dark]] — telling him that he's trapped in an endless cycle of failure because he's ultimately a mediocre person and will never do anything of value with his life. Demoralized, Hairy declares that he needs to go home and think about his life; Danish tells him, "It won't help.”
-This may be a reference to the "deathsticks" scene in ''{{w|Star Wars: Attack of the Clones}}''. Alternatively, it might mean that she considers Hairy's mediocrity as so persistent that even reflecting on what she said won't enable him to overcome it (Note that since Danish is 'negging', this might not even reflect Danish's *true* opinion on Hairy as a person at all -- she might just be reacting to what he replied in the most effective, i.e. in this situation most lastingly sould-crushing, way). Lastly, another possible explanation of her reply might be that once Black Hat discovers his shenanigans, Hairy might not have much more life to rethink.

 The title text refers to {{w|Michael Jordan}}, a very popular and accomplished {{w|basketball}} player who played for the {{w|Chicago Bulls}} and the {{w|Washington Wizards}}. His name is often used as a noun to denote that someone is the best in their field, which is later used in [[1120: Blurring the Line]].

 Meanwhile, [[Black Hat]] and [[Danish]] are sitting at another table. Black Hat, being a [[classhole]], leaves to roll a bowling ball through the restroom stalls to hit the feet of anyone there using them. In North America, public restrooms usually have a 1-foot (30&nbsp;cm) gap between the floor and the bottom of the stall dividers. As people sit down to use a stall most of the time, their feet would be vulnerable to being hit in sequence. Perhaps Black Hat is going for a 'strike'. Hairy approaches Danish, while Cueball looks on and says "oh no" — seemingly recognizing Danish and anticipating the disaster Hairy is walking into, or perhaps simply not wanting Hairy to use his tricks on anyone.
