Overview
Case Blackwell anchored a marathon broadcast featuring a papal conclave preview, Trump budget analysis with Jeff Ripple, and a Munch & Crum debate where Crum defended aged-up Family Guy fan erotica to win $5k toward his $125k Rock-afire gorilla debt. Liliana co-anchored a news block covering the New World screwworm invasion and Overwatch’s revival, while Kendall returned for an extended bit as ‘influencer manager.’ The show interviewed RollerCoaster Tycoon creator Chris Sawyer, who attacked Planet Coaster and revealed his retirement, then handed off to Trip Bradstein in the park for a chaotic string of interviews including a returning Chris Sawyer, a rat named Darfus, and a park ranger suggesting Family Guy porn as conflict resolution. Case closed by teasing a papal conclave stream, Hamtaro event, and Monday return.
