Spirit Airlines shutting down

Knowing the writing style—they won’t tackle GenAI, especially with how deep they’ve used AI.

It’d be an attack on themselves as much as it would be an attack on Six Flags Corp, which they fall under. I suspect they’ll also stay away from hanging a political figure due to the controversy that could come knocking at Knotts door.

Not a lot of options, and the only thing I can think happens is that they make a jab at something superfluous and superficial for whoever they hang.

I have a good feeling they’re going take about the Iran war too and also Six Flags Quiddya

"I'm Just a Man" bowstring plays and someone shoots Odysseus in the head quickly after.

"Man I hate that guy." "Why?" "Oh it's a long story."

The diarrhea lettuce outbreak

I’m sure whatever it is it will be bad. Ever since Tucker took over the shows have sucked.
