This episode reads the Wikipedia disambiguation page for Paul Douglas as a biography of a name, arranging a dozen notable people chronologically from 1892 to 1997. The earliest entries sit inside American institutions: Paul Douglas, born 1892 and died 1976, an economist who became a U.S. senator from Illinois; Paul P. Douglas Jr., born 1919, an Air Force officer; Paul L. Douglas, born 1927, who became attorney general of Nebraska; and, in the see also section, Paul Douglass, born 1905, president of American University. The hosts argue this reflects who printed encyclopedias chose to record.

The film actor Paul Douglas, born 1907 and died 1959, bridges to a mid century shift toward media and the arts: a Jamaican drummer and percussionist born 1950, a British CBS News cameraman born 1957 who died in Baghdad in 2006, an American meteorologist born 1958, and a New Zealand electronic musician who records under a different name. The latest entries are all athletes: an Irish boxer born 1964, an English cricketer born 1971 and a Bermudan footballer born 1997. The hosts tie that turn to digital sports databases and unlimited online space.
