Brad is back questioning humanity again with three real stories that feel completely made up—but unfortunately aren’t. This episode leans hard into one theme: people aren’t even trying to get away with things anymore… they’re just seeing what happens.

Zero Adults in Charge 23.04.2026 15:11
In the very first episode, Brad introduces the concept of the show—real stories that are so ridiculous they sound completely made up. He also rolls out the “This Can’t Be Real” scale , rating each story based on how absurd and nonsensical it is.
