This Week’s Fight of the Century, it’s BATTLE NEWS (plus music?) (2025-06-07)

Overview

Barely Informed News led with the Trump–Musk feud as ‘battle of the century,’ featuring a musical cold open, Kendall’s studio visit, and a Munch & Crum debate on Joe Rogan custody that advanced the Crum Dick Punch storyline. The broadcast then cycled through a Chet Guy the Science Eyes trailer review, a Guy Redacted masterclass in debate manipulation, a Jay Drilla rapid-news hour with a Ted Turner interview, a Therapy session on universal fart equality, and a marathon DJ C4 songwriting session producing the sleep-rebellion anthem ‘Sleep Aura’ with an undead ghost writer and a post-surgery Sleepy Boy.
