The Boost

The Boost is the 10th episode in the series.

Plot
While sick, Jay watches a children's anti-drug PSA that frightens him. Matt offers to get him cold medicine, but Jay, affected by the advertisement, objects. Matt fries the RCA cables of their Nintendo 64 when trying to plug it in, and Jay asks him to get him some candy when he goes out to replace it. Matt buys Jay some Good & Plentys, but switches them for cold medicine. While getting new cables, he notices a poster for a GoldenEye 007 speedrun tournament occurring that day, first prize being a guest spot on the "Rival1" podcast, which Matt misreads as "Rivoli". Knowing Jay's prowess with the game, Matt decides to enter him.

As Jay practices a round of GoldenEye, he starts to fall asleep after eating all of the "candy." He notes that he could not be on drugs because he would never do them, nor would he forgive someone who drugged him. Matt buys speed (again passing it off as candy) and gives them to Jay to take when they arrive at the tournament. Jay takes one as he starts the game, reacting positively to the drug as he plays exceptionally. When Jay stops to take more, he loses his lead, and Matt sneaks under the table the TVs are mounted on and cuts the lead player's RCA cables, getting Jay the win.

Matt realizes the truth about the Rival1 show as Jay overdoses on the speed, having eaten the entire jar. Jay awakens in the hospital to find that his stomach was pumped, and Matt is forced to tell him the truth. Jay pretends to forgive him, but throws him out of the hospital.

Matt and Jay go on the Rival1 podcast. When Jay notices tech people going by the podcast's office and asks if music industry people work there, Matt and the host laugh at him.
