Overview
Case Blackwell opened with Pepito before covering an exercise-mimicking drug study that threatens gym identity, then hosted Trent and Chris for a trailer block that frayed reality when chat invoked Beetlejuice. Don Wriggles roasted Case over Kotaku’s guides pivot, Hype Train derailed into a strawberry-mold freestyle, and Crum pulled three debate wins ahead of Munch — three victories away from the Crum Dick Punch forfeit — before Case raided Kassim.
