Overview
Case Blackwell anchors a late-night Friday broadcast covering Trump’s $10B lawsuit against the Wall Street Journal over an Epstein birthday letter, complete with dramatic reading and fact-checks on Trump’s ‘enigma’ vocabulary and drawing denial. The show cycles through viral video reviews, Rick’s accelerated news block, Chet’s canine TV study, and Trip Bradstein’s park interviews haunted by a ghost hangman game. The broadcast culminates in DJ C4 producing an R&B track about Trump never drawing women, featuring JD Vance and Trump impressions, while Munch debates the Devil in a best-of-five for Crum’s soul — winning round one.
