Overview
Case Blackwell returns from a streaming hiatus to anchor a broadcast dominated by an MIT mind-reading headset, a furry-favoring Munch & Crum debate, and Chet’s musical rebrand. The night spirals into a 30-minute ass-centric roast from imposter Don Riggles, a trailer-review detour with Trent, and a DJ Newsic roof concert condemning Wendy’s surge pricing — all while Case’s impending move looms over the studio.
