Episode 100: Last Chance for Homecoming King

Original air date: May 15, 2019

Episode overview

Friendship Club listeners write the 100th episode’s prompts, challenges, media choices, and questions while the hosts perform them and play congratulatory and favorite-memory recordings. Ian’s recorded theme instructs the hosts to punch one another as hard as possible; they limit the punches to hands and wrists and declare no winner. Matt Dingus submits a titled viewing prompt, and the hosts watch and react to the Carolina Camera profile of Rufus Hussey, the Bean Shooter Man. Viv directs Danny to search for a scary story and read the first result, ending with the classic ‘then who was phone?’ story. Bingo premieres a produced audio sitcom that sends Ray and Robert Barone into a Flintstones-like alternate world and ends with Robert rejecting Ray’s intrusion. Danny and Julie replace the proposed mystery sandwich with Murky Water, mix a deliberately awful drink for Bingo, and rate his ingredient-guessing challenge C-rank difficulty without declaring a winner. The hosts perform a chant-driven coda about a beet under a rule that discussing anything else resets the timer, stop after about twelve minutes, and tell listeners to replay it to reach twenty.
