This week's episode is a certified fever dream. We open with a man in Fort Wayne who mutilated himself and used the evidence as literal kindling, then pivot to an Argentine flight instructor who bailed out of a plane mid-lesson and left his student to land it solo. Biohacker Bryan Johnson — the guy trying to live to 2140 — just found out his own stomach is eating itself, and an Idaho mom who blamed vaccines for her twins' deaths is now facing murder charges instead.

On the crime beat: a Vegas Little League president blew $65K in team funds on strip clubs and ED pills, a Pasadena doctor who drove his family off a cliff walked free after a mental health diversion program, a New Jersey woman got busted for child sex abuse thanks to a very unfortunate tattoo, and an 84-year-old Florida man tried to torch his ex of 42 years and mostly just torched himself.

Then we lighten it up (sort of) with a UK mom tossed from Tesco for a backless top, Swifties dropping real money on cubes of literal trash from Taylor and Travis's wedding, and Jersey Shore lifeguards earning hazard pay wrestling a drunk guy out of the surf.

And because the news never stops: we break down the death of Sen. Lindsey Graham, the Mitch McConnell health-mystery-turned-fall-and-pneumonia saga, Conor McGregor's much-hyped UFC 329 comeback against Max Holloway (spoiler: it didn't go the way he predicted), and the World Cup semifinals shaping up with Argentina-England and France-Spain.

Buckle up — this one's got everything.
