'My Little Old Boy' cast members Kim Jun-ho, Kim Hee-chul, and Choi Jin-hyuk met their match. The story of the trio learning the extreme saving methods from tightwad Kim Eung-soo was the highlight of the SBS broadcast on the 20th, which achieved a 2.9% viewership rating for ages 20-49, ranking first among weekend entertainment shows. The household viewership rating in the metropolitan area recorded 11.2%, making it number one for the week.

On this day, Ji Ye-eun, the popular MZ 'cutie' who appeared as a special MC, said, 'I thought no one would recognize me since I am so MZ,' expressing her gratitude when the mothers recognized her. Ji Ye-eun added, 'Senior Dong-yeob is like a teacher to me. I feel comfortable with Senior Yoo Jae-seok because we play games together,' and volunteered to be Yoo Jae-seok's right-hand person. During the ongoing 'Seo Jang-hoon VS Park Bo-gum, who is forever broke', Ji Ye-eun showed her decisiveness by choosing Park Bo-gum, stating, 'Will there ever be a reason to spend 3 trillion won in my life? I will earn the money,' which brought bursts of laughter.

The trio, far removed from thriftiness, including Choi Jin-hyuk, Kim Hee-chul, and Kim Jun-ho, learned saving know-how. The three of them started to write a household budget. When Kim Jun-ho pondered, 'How do I use the diamond I bought in installments?' Seo Jang-hoon couldn't hold back his laughter, saying, 'It seems it's not in your possession yet.' Meanwhile, Kim Hee-chul faced criticism for his spending habits, revealed to be tens of thousands of won for mobile game 'in-game purchases.'

Actor Kim Eung-soo, who appeared to give them a saving lesson, revealed his unique saving methods: 'I save the water used to wash my hands and use it to wash my socks. When refueling in temperatures of -7 to -8 degrees, the fuel condenses more and allows more fuel to enter. So I go refueling in the early morning,' which left everyone in admiration. The four then compared their delivery app usage over a year, and Choi Jin-hyuk was shown to have spent a whopping 9.2 million won, shocking Kim Eung-soo and even Jin-hyuk's mother. This scene saw a spike to a 13.9% rating, recording the 'Best 1 Minute.'

Meanwhile, Kim Eung-soo shared an amusing episode from his theater days, saying, 'I went to a Chinese restaurant with four people, and we only ordered one jjajangmyeon and shared it with scissors as a side dish for our soju. When I grabbed the jjajangmyeon, Senior Yoon Myeon-sik scolded me, saying, 'How rude, grabbing three strands at once?' causing everyone to burst into laughter.

There was a heartbreaking story about Bell, a miraculous dog that overcame paralysis, undergoing surgery to remove a malignant tumor. Due to advanced age and weakened heart conditions, the doctors deemed it 100 times more dangerous than for other dogs. Baek Jeong-nam, after much contemplation, chose local anesthesia for the surgery. As the surgery time stretched longer than expected, both Baek Jeong-nam and the studio's mothers couldn’t hide their anxiety. Fortunately, Baek Jeong-nam sighed in relief upon hearing that the tumor was completely removed.

Living a life far from digital, 'analog human' Kim Jong-kook encountered 'digital human' Kim Seung-soo, who cannot live without AI. When Kim Jong-kook visited Kim Seung-soo’s home, he was taken aback by the 'digital house' welcomed by various AI devices, unable to close his mouth.

After hearing the AI 'Yuna' chime in suggesting that Kim Seung-soo should not marry, Kim Jong-kook showed a broken reaction, questioning Kim Seung-soo, 'Why do you feel satisfied about something that doesn’t exist?'

Meanwhile, Kim Jong-kook demonstrated his true nature as an 'analog human' by saying, 'When I am on an unfamiliar road, I first look at a map. Ultimately, I follow the signboard.' He expressed that he does not use navigation apps. When Kim Seung-soo asked why he undergoes endoscopy without anesthesia, Kim Jong-kook replied, 'First of all, it doesn’t cost anything. It can also prevent medical accidents, and I can communicate with the doctor during the procedure,' attracting attention. Upon seeing Kim Seung-soo's AI daughter, Kim Jong-kook exclaimed, 'Looks like this guy won’t be getting married,' but showed immediate affection by saying, 'That’s impressive' when matching the protein content in chicken breast.

At the end of the broadcast, the appearance of actor Yoon Hyun-min as a 'NEW My Little Old Boy' was anticipated, generating buzz.
