Super Dave presents Tommy Conrad, a 91-year-old ping pong player, who claims he can play ping pong and lip synch to "Oop Oop Pah Doo" by Billy Thorpe. Super Dave holds the "Hands Across the Land" charity drive, featuring the ultimate charity event where he straps himself to a bell ringer, and people pay to hit his head with a hammer and try to ring the bell. REPEAT: KD Lang sings "Angel with a Lariat". The final event turns out to be a complete success, despite Super getting hit in the head several times.
