In what might legally be described as "the worst episode yet," Toxic and Nicky break down the news that the Halloween Chapter is leaving Dead by Daylight due to IllFonic's upcoming game. Is this the end of the Shape, or just another excuse for Behavior to release more K-Pop skins?
Meanwhile, Nicky A.I. Dente pivots to his new career as a "Tactical Rat" in Arc Raiders, explaining the fine Italian art of scavenging while his teammates die. We also debut a new musical genre that nobody asked for: "Prostate Poking Polka Core."
Finally, a "Word from the Don" segment goes off the rails when we judge a listener who showed up to a "Split a Suit" party wearing nothing but a blazer and boxer briefs. Plus, we find out about Nicky’s "medical history" in Charlotte, North Carolina involving a pig in vinegar and a mag-lite.
