Overview
Case Blackwell broadcasts beardless after a grooming accident, triggering a network-wide facial hair crisis that derails the News desk into a Munch & Crum beard debate and a Crum-hosted call-in circle where he denies his own canonical death and hell tenure. Pepito’s hype train goal inadvertently funds Crum’s upcoming legal defense. The broadcast closes with a Chinese robotics showcase, Kendall’s homecoming roast, and an Asian Case filter bit before raiding Static Slate.
