Overview
Case Blackwell and Jeff Ripple navigate Trump’s tariff whiplash and a surprise shower-head executive order before pivoting to a movie trailer marathon capped by a Jack Black Minecraft toy inspection. The broadcast continues with Jake for a viral video roundup featuring a runaway Thai mall train, Horse Girl’s Coachella booking, and a vintage Super Password puzzle, then hands off to Jeb Nogget and his wooden-board ghost father for a How To session on male multiple orgasms and a documentary on a man suffering 100 daily orgasms from persistent sexual arousal syndrome.
