It’s the kind of Friday night where the stories get stranger by the minute. Shane and Ryan bounce from elite wing joints in North York to the strange reality of 374 bagpipers blaring ACDC in unison. Then it’s off to Australia, where high schoolers prepped for the wrong Caesar — because yes, even teachers get their emperors mixed up. Add a customer service disaster and some Grey Cup indignation, and you've got an episode that's half news, half comedy, and all real.
