Chris and Mark Rahner swap stories about the craziest things they’ve ever consumed and react to the disturbingly graphic legacy of Faces of Death. The conversation shifts to Burbank, where a city councilman is calling for action in the Warner Bros. Discovery acquisition battle, while the Golden Globes cautiously step into podcasting and Dick Van Dyke’s remarkable longevity makes headlines. The show also explores a growing trend in higher education as colleges bring back oral exams to combat AI-assisted cheating. Wrapping up the episode, Chris looks at the possible end of an era with Philadelphia hosting what may be the nation’s final live penny auction.
