Harris Says Things, Robots Do Things, Tamagotchi Eggs, all of that is NEWS we SWEAR (2024-08-30)

Overview

Case Blackwell returns from a work-heavy week to anchor a marathon broadcast: dissecting Kamala Harris’s CNN interview with Jeff Ripple, rating viral clips from sword wolves to Trumpy Trout, hosting a Jambalaya past-life presidency panel won by Grandma Crumble Bottom (Garfield/Arbuckle), sending Trip Bradstein into a bush gauntlet of moles, doppelgangers, Frankensteins, and a tiny Godzilla, then solo-reviewing Beijing’s melancholy humanoid robots before a brief Tamagotchi eggshell closer and a raid on Ashley’s channel.
