    B Block — “Click-Clack Boom: The AI Has Left the Building”

    From Shanghai robots staging an early walkout to AI models plotting cyberattacks without human input, it’s a roundup of artificial unintelligence with terrifyingly smart ideas. Rogue “agentic” AIs, GhostGPT crimeware, “vibe hacking” for lazy scammers, and bots refusing to shut down. The singularity’s here—and it’s demanding a smoke break.

    A Block — “Tributes, Taglines & Total Trainwrecks”

    Rod Stewart’s AI “tribute” to Ozzy lands somewhere between a deepfake fever dream and a copyright crime scene. Gatorade tells the WNBA to “Let Her Cook,” and the internet serves them a roasting. Plus—happy ending spas, highway hot dog carnage, and a Danish zoo’s “donate your pet” program. If it’s weird, meat-related, or meme-worthy… we’ve got it.

    🅲 C BLOCK: “Poop Pools, PR Spin, and the Influencer Industrial Complex”

    Description:
    Our guest Christopher Perry joins the mayhem as the cast stages a news parody on the now-infamous “Poop Lagoon Lady.” With characters like Doris “Doody” McMurray and Kip VaynBros weighing in, this segment turns sewage into satire. There’s also a return to Walmart madness, and even a few cameos from baffled kids asking, “Did she really drink poo water?”
