Tampon Attacks, AI Rat Dick, Leap Day Crashes, there’s NEWS in these hills (2024-03-01)

Overview

Case Blackwell’s Friday broadcast veers from a tampon-assault police blotter into a dual Munch & Crum debate on crew jackets and biohazard etiquette, then pivots to Chet’s forensic takedown of an AI-hallucinated rat-phallus paper. The second hour sends Trent and Chris to the movies for a Dragon Ball VHS gem and A24 horror, Jeff Ripple dissects the Glasgow Willy Wonka warehouse fiasco, and ASMR Rocket Raccoon closes with a super-Earth discovery and a whisper-rap about space genitals before raiding Ovali.
