Air Date: 06 Jul 2025 21:00 (CDT)
S3E4 - Man vs Man!
Mitch looks at a long forgotten programming battle of 1994 - how a dating show with a pool almost changed the TV landscape forever. Plus, the 0055 premium number grift, and the surprisingly violent consequences to home VCRs in the early 80s.

S3E5 - Soap Conspiracy!
Mitch recalls one of the best worst TV specials that ever existed - the biggest creative gamble for nostalgia, nudity, and audience sanity. Plus, why did all the TV networks end up on trial when they refused to run a news story? A grubby conspiracy of money, incompetence and soap.
