C Block — “Highs, Lows & Snack Cart Stunts”

Delaware launches recreational cannabis sales, Talleyville spa bust makes headlines, a Microsoft engineer goes viral for snack breaks during layoffs, and pranksters turn a BART train into a budget airline. Four news stories, endless improv potential—from Commissioner Casey’s zoning meltdowns to Captain Pretzel’s in-train snack service.

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.
