Bad News Network | 5-1-2026This week on BNN, we’ve got everything from presidential assassination attempts to… cobras in pants. Yes, really.Nick breaks down the rising number of real assassination attempts on U.S. Presidents and why, despite living in the safest era in history, people seem more unhinged than ever. Is it politics… or something deeper?Austin dives into the absurd aftermath of the latest attempt, including a legal fight over a White House ballroom that refuses to die. Because nothing says “national crisis” like arguing over construction permits mid-chaos.Then we head overseas for one of the most insane stories we’ve ever covered: a German tourist, a snake show, and a cobra that decided pants were the ideal habitat. Spoiler: it ends exactly as badly as you think.PLUS:Fake Border Patrol agents doing real crimesOPEC drama and oil markets getting spicyCocaine hippos (yes, again)Hollywood chaos, Hot Goss, and Douche of the WeekFlorida Woman goes full boss fight with a stripper poleAnd a reminder that maybe… just maybe… everyone isn’t your enemyIf you like your news fast, funny, and slightly unhinged, you’re in the right place.

This week on https://rangerup.com the Bad News Network:Florida is investigating whether ChatGPT helped plan the FSU mass shooting, a Detroit gas station clerk becomes a hero by stopping a kidnapping, and one Arkansas teacher finds out the hard way that “lil bruh” is not an acceptable form of address. We also cover Korean fighter pilots crashing jets for selfies, a fake bear insurance scam straight out of a bad comedy, a hot air balloon landing in someone’s backyard like a Disney fever dream, and Florida Man being accused of secretly being Jeffrey Epstein. Plus guacamole wars, bribing fraudsters in Maine, celebrity home invasions, and why avocado toast may be the real crime against humanity. Chaos, stupidity, and just enough sarcasm to make the news tolerable. Welcome to BNN.

Welcome to https://rangerup.com 's BNN, hosted by Nick Palmisciano and Mandatory Funday.

Meanwhile, a high school principal stops a school shooting with a tackle, AI deepfakes flood the internet ahead of the 2026 election, and global insanity continues as a top Ugandan general demands $1 billion and a wife. Also in today’s episode: Disney layoffs, Coachella controversy, Palestinian workers found in a garbage truck, a NYC pothole hustler making thousands per night, and a Florida doctor charged after removing the wrong organ. Plus: Trump AI drama, celebrity chaos, and more. Welcome to BNN.

The world is on the brink of chaos, and your luggage is getting more expensive just to watch it happen. From space-clogged toilets to high-stakes geopolitics, we’ve got it all.Here is what’s coming up on today’s episode:Ceasefire or Rage Tweet?: President Trump agrees to a two-week ceasefire with Iran, but between drone strikes and "protection" from a sunken navy, nobody is relaxing just yet.The Pizza Crust Killer: Long Island architect Rex Heuermann is expected to plead guilty to eight murders. Turns out, leaving a "murder checklist" on your computer makes you slightly easier to catch than Ted Bundy.Moon Problems: The Artemis 2 crew is halfway to the moon and dealing with "intermittent plumbing challenges". Nothing says $93 billion well-spent like having to sun-bathe a frozen pipe of urine just to get the toilet working again.Delta’s Wallet Drain: Delta joins the fee-frenzy, jacking up bag prices to $200 for a third suitcase. They’re blaming fuel costs, but we all know that once those prices go up, they stay up come hell or high water.The Real-Life Dexter: A Florida man takes "vigilante justice" to a dark place after allegedly chopping up a sex offender and keeping a blood slide as a souvenir.Public Pajamas & Gate Mobs: Dan has a bone to pick with everyone who treats the airport like a slumber party or crowds the gate for Group 7.Plus, we dive into the Combat Search and Rescue (CSAR) teams who risk everything to bring people home , and a look at the sunken Danish warship found after two centuries.Grab your space diapers and join us!

Once again https://rangerup.com is back with the Bad News Network!Here's your rapid-fire rundown of the week, and it’s a wild one.First up, Artemis II is headed back to the moon for the first time since 1972. Four astronauts, 240,000 miles, and yes… another wrestler in space. Humanity might actually be doing something useful again.Meanwhile, Tiger Woods rolled another vehicle...allegedly distracted, possibly medicated, definitely still undefeated in the “things he shouldn’t be rolling” category.Over in the Middle East, the U.S., Iran situation is somehow both escalating and “ending in two to three weeks.” Oil is spiking, markets are confused, and everyone’s pretending this wraps up neatly. It won’t.Back home, one Marine allegedly ran a side hustle selling military weapons—including a Javelin missile system—because apparently eBay didn’t have enough firepower.And finally, Florida Man tried to steal a plane… after crashing his car into an airport… barefoot… on multiple substances. Which, honestly, is just a strong Tuesday for Florida.That’s your BNN short, where the news is real, the logic is optional, and somehow… we’re still here.
