Starting from 2021, he uploads a video on April Fool's Day with a topic that has next to no connection to NASCAR (or another motorsport), but is subject to the same level of research and care as his usual output. So far, he has covered:
** Olympus 2015, a disastrous ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros'' tournament he personally helped organize.
** SPAM, the canned meat that was the basis for a Series/MontyPythonsFlyingCircus sketch and the namesake for spamming (and [[SpamAttack more]] [[BeamSpam than]] [[DoesNotLikeSpam a]] [[OnlyOneWhoLikesSpam few]] [[GrenadeSpam tropes]]).
** The AK-74, an often-overlooked update of the venerable Avtomat Kalashnikova.
** Sumo wrestling, Japan's homegrown professional sport.

** The 2023 episode was written in the style of ''WebVideo/CasualGeographic'', focusing on three deadly animals in the Known World. Notably, one of these animals, the non-newtonian spitting tetrapod Xhetsukaan, turns out to be a ChekhovsGag towards the Heterotherms and [[spoiler:The Silent One's true identity]].
** The 2024 episode focuses on the titular mammal clade from ''Literature/TheSnoutersFormAndLifeOfTheRhinogrades'' being introduced to Kaimere during the mid-Pliostene harvest. This also ties into an episode at the end of the same month focusing on the mid-Pleistocene harvest.
