Add AI deepfake chaos, Stargate’s return, Ninja Turtles release date shifts, and just enough sarcasm to legally qualify as commentary, and you’ve got one stacked chapter of nerd chaos.Also discussed: tacos, pottery classes, jet skis, squirrels with long lifespans, and why everyone else somehow became an insider but us.⸻⏱️ Timestamps & Topics • 00:00 – Live show warning & nerd roll call • 02:55 – Marvel Rumor Roundup begins • 04:12 – Jacob Elordi joining the MCU?
