- While making a video, Melissa asks Jason to read the top line of a sign that is written in Japanese. Jason says "I can't... I can't read anymore." It looks as if they tried to make the sign say exactly what he just said, but instead of the character for "I", they used the character for "peace", which look similar, and appear right next to each other in the official list of Japanese characters.
