Part 2/12:
The Opening: A Meltdown into Meme Culture and Parodies of Reality
The show opened with playful banter about current media coverage and social media trends, referencing IGN, Dr. Jordan Peterson, and other notable figures. The hosts humorously mused on various topics, including the resilience of children and the influence of popular franchises like Batman and Star Wars, interspersed with musical snippets and playful jokes about liquor and childhood innocence. Amidst the laughter, they segued seamlessly into a mock-news segment portraying a spooky, tongue-in-cheek horror scenario set at a fictional "Turkey Day Bash" — an imaginative parody where pilgrims rise from the dead hungry for flesh, transforming a traditional feast into a zombie apocalypse.
