Overview
Case Blackwell hosts an April Fools edition of Barely Informed News, covering the Artemis 2 crewed moon launch before a chaotic Hype Train segment where the train poses as a normal human. A Town Hall with musician Jevrything and a sentient Everything Bagel descends into philosophical absurdity, followed by a glitched Jo Rogen Experience that segues into a Munch & Crum debate on whether Joe Rogan should exist. The broadcast closes with Case breaking the Byron Noem ‘bimbo vacation’ cross-dressing scandal live on air before departing for the Super Mario Bros. Movie.
