Overview
Case Blackwell returns from a week-long illness to find half the BIN staff ‘doged’ into resignation, leaving Pepito incapacitated on Jolt Cola and production in the hands of Case’s cousin Jake. The broadcast cycles through a gauntlet of replacement correspondents — Dmitry, Peter Gibbon, Liliana, Jeb’s undead father, Crum, and debutant Kyle — covering Trump-Macron talks, Elon Musk’s alleged botched penile implant, a sausage-making tutorial, and a Canadian lawsuit over thumbs-up emoji contracts, all while Crum’s $170,000 gorilla debt looms over a forced layoff debate.
