Starring
* Andres Contos as Sid

Continuity

 * First appearance of the famous "tool".
 * We see Sid rolling a cigarette for the first time, the famous "Contentos" without filter.
 * Sid tries to hide the fact that he has drunk a few too many drinks by claiming that he's still awake thanks to his "superhuman strength".
 * The episode was filmed at around 06:00 in the morning, a sign that Sid has been awake all night, perhaps participating in some special party in the previous hours.

Background informations

 * This episode was made when the idea of ​​a serial television series had not yet been born. Only in the following days, with the creation of "The House of the Honorable Contos", this video became the second episode.
 * Sid is still practicing the crappy video editing software included with the Trust webcam drivers. This is noticeable by the presence of the title in the upper left, a feature that later disappeared in subsequent episodes, and by the odd opening effect at the beginning of the episode itself.

Associate producer

 * The Tool

Memorable quotes
Sid: "An extraordinary strength, obviously... keeps me awake! But then the sleep shock will come to me in... because... well, for now I'm awake with happiness! No eh... and what epithet is more appropriate... to me, than "contentment"!?"

Sid: "It rolls... rolling, rolling, rolling, rolling... it goes like this, it bends... fuck yeah... how intrinsic it is!"

Sid: "And here it is! Just give it now... a dirty lick!"

Sid: "Now it's well sealed. Like... an architect. Like... a carpenter!"

Sid: "This is the Tool. Here it is ... here is the Tool ... do you like it?"

Sid: "Oeh! There's still space for a little bit of tobacco... and we'll fucking put it in! Here it comes... we put it in... we put it in... and it's done!"
