FACT CHECK: 🚨 VIRAL RUMOR

CLAIM: A leaked clip from Season 8 shows Rick calling the “Szechuan Sauce” quest “a metaphor for the failure of late-stage capitalism.”

❌ RATING: FAKE

The Truth: No Season 8 episodes have been leaked. The audio in the clip is AI-generated using an ElevenLabs model. Adult Swim has not released any official footage. The fan-made video has been circulating on TikTok and YouTube since March 2024, often labeled “leaked.” The actual show has not referenced Szechuan Sauce since Season 3, Episode 1. Do not fall for deepfake audio.
