Overview
Case Blackwell hosted the ‘News Icestravaganza,’ a 3+ hour marathon where he dunked his face in ice water every 600 bits/subs, completing 40 plunges and ultimately drinking a shot of the cream-lemon-face-oil mixture. Jeff Ripple returned from hiatus to cover Trump’s ‘Liberation Day’ tariffs and third-term musings. The broadcast featured Trailer Thursday (Black Mirror S7, Legend of Wisely, King of Kings), a Munch & Crum debate on Crum’s $155k gorilla debt, a How To with Jeb derailed by Grandma Crumble Bottom, Clementine Redacted’s conspiracy segment on British accents, failed Huckleberry Hound call-ins, and a DJ Newsic/Chet rap finale before raiding Christine’s channel.
