We dive into a monthly hybrid of fictional and non-fictional stories that compel our host to rant about everything from cheating scandals to adult toy buyers and loud talkers in public.

• Exploration of cheating in unlikely places including grandmaster chess and professional fishing tournaments
• Examination of Hans Niemann's chess scandal with computer move matching rates higher than legends like Bobby Fischer
• Revelation of fishing tournament cheaters using lead weights to double their fish weights for prize money
• Commentary on the dangerous driving habits on Interstate 275 in Tampa-St. Petersburg
• Analysis of the growing "kidult" market with companies creating adult-focused toys worth 14% of industry sales
• Observations about people using "outside voices" in public spaces, especially when using technology
• Discussion of Herschel Walker's Senate campaign controversies and contradictions
• Celebration of NASA's DART mission successfully changing an asteroid's trajectory 7 million miles from Earth
