A Pringles urn anchors a tour of strange news
The Pringles Urn is News AF – October 20, 2026
The episode turns odd headlines into a comic examination of mortality, domestic avoidance, celebrity culture, and everyday hazards.
- 1A Pringles-shaped urn giveaway sends birthday banter toward cremation, funeral costs, and unconventional ideas about remembrance.
- 2The hosts debate Nathan Fielder’s new film, then connect bears, Guitar Center mythology, and an Uber Eats shooting through escalating absurdity.
- 3Deer mating season brings the conversation back to a practical risk, while an AI composite image fuses the episode’s disparate stories.
Don't miss
The hosts build and review an absurd AI-generated composite image that combines the episode’s unrelated stories into one surreal scene.
The brief
Rob Cesternino, Tyson Apostol, and substitute co-host Brandon Donlon begin with Washington, D.C., Survivor-style strategy, birthday jokes, and a Danny Bonaduce Cameo.
Nathan Fielder’s new film divides the room: Tyson finds it merely good, while Brandon treats its awkward structure and length as potentially life-changing.
A Pringles Halloween promotion offering a snack-shaped funeral urn opens a darkly comic detour into cremation, funeral expenses, and what happens after death.
The hosts move from weaponized bathroom breaks to Guitar Center’s supposed “Stairway to Heaven” ban, bears in libraries, and an Uber Eats love triangle.
Deer mating season supplies the episode’s practical warning, before an AI-generated composite image crams Pringles, Nathan Fielder, bears, deer, and delivery drama together.
