[Ch 1] "Noise from the Hearts of Nerds" - “C1E93: TwoFer Tuesday – vol 11 (April Fool's 2025)”

Today’s broadcast is C1E93 for TwoFer Tuesday, very conspicuously releasing on April 1st, 2025. Today’s "can you find the hidden gag" broadcast will be TwoFer Tuesday – vol. 11 – our final ever installment of the TwoFer Tuesday series, and though technically the second-to-last planned April Fool's episode, our last April Fool's episode to present a novel idea (since 2026's installment is slated to just be a sequel to 2020's reverse-playing "Backtracks").
