Verified episode facts

• **Podcast bodcast wager result**: Bingo predicted he would identify all three bodies but correctly named only Philip J. Reed and John Stein; he guessed Casey for Eric Dittmer and scored 2 of 3. Danny therefore won the private wager: he could change Bingo’s Facebook cover photo for one week, Bingo could not explain it or reply to comments, and politics and religion were excluded. This was a punishment or stake, not a prize, and the replacement image was not revealed in Episode 101.
