Taking Minerals, Shrinking GPDs, plus Literal Fart Walks, could it be NEWS? (2025-05-01)

Overview

Case Blackwell returns after a missed Monday broadcast to a chaotic night: Hype Train derails the cold open with an 18-minute freestyle, Peter Gibbon hijacks the news desk to unveil a homunculus project growing a Case-clone from rats fed the anchor’s biological waste, Jeb Nogget appears as a confused woodshop instructor, Chet fails to crack his own back while citing a ketamine erectile dysfunction study, and the Amongst the Web desk reviews a repo-show car crash and baby Gronk content. The broadcast ends abruptly when Kendall calls from Boston revealing Case is 30 minutes late for a movie he thought started at 8 PM.
