Toilet News, from Deportations to Eggs (2025-04-14)

Overview

Barely Informed News opened with Pepito’s glitchy cold open establishing a hamtaro onesie sub goal and WrestleMania watch-along plans. Case Blackwell and Jeff Ripple covered the constitutional crisis of El Salvador refusing to return a wrongfully deported man, the Trump-Bukele White House meeting’s tacky gold decor, and the weekend’s chaotic tariff reversals on electronics. Crum appeared in a refractory Amongst the Web segment refusing to react to viral videos, then faced Munch in a high-stakes blueberry bagel vs muffin debate tied to his $145k mechanical gorilla debt. Liliana joined for a rapid news roundup covering Kendall’s misleading TurboTax ad, LA’s tax extension, toilet egg dyeing, Florida bone sales, Harry Potter casting controversy, Hungarian Pride protests, and LA’s new sperm racing league. The broadcast closed with Jeb’s father (Ghost Dad) issuing a Snapchat-filter bounty for his missing son, a vintage anti-bullying instructional, and Pepito’s talk-show stretch goal before a Papito-led raid.
