0:00–15:00 — Cold open, the Wheel spins, and cursed parrots + creepy woods The rules of the game: rack up points to reach the “Tower of Truth,” fall short and it’s back to the “Land of Lunacy.” First spin delivers a wild mini-doc: opium-addicted parrots raiding poppy fields in India—farmers can’t stop them, and the birds crash hard when harvest ends.

00:00–15:00 — Kickoff, “are we in a sim?”, and brain‑tech worries We open with the show bumper and roll into a packed wheel—55 videos on deck. A 1977 Philip K. Dick clip sets the vibe: reality branches, “variables were changed”—Sam ties it to the Matrix/Mandela Effect.
