Episode 117: Redneck Penny Dreadful
Original air date: September 19, 2019
Episode overview
The hosts mark Weird Easter and autumn, revisit Bingo's seasonal cover-photo punishment, and conduct the nested Knowledge or Mystery choice before closing the morning-show framing. Nested within Wake Up With Halfway Okay, Bingo repeatedly weighs a known early cover-photo change against a mystery envelope, chooses Mystery, and receives partly eaten small fries, a napkin, and the autumn-cover consequence rather than the possible Batmobile. Gerald Wheat's voicemail introduces Bingo's hybrid of Game Corner and Scary Stories to Tell in the Pod; Bingo recounts a Betrayal at House on the Hill game whose Mad Jack haunt occurred on Friday the 13th, followed by reaction and praise for the voicemail. Nested within Bingo's Combo Carnival, Bingo explains Betrayal at House on the Hill's tile, character, and haunt mechanics and reveals that his group won the Mad Jack scenario. Nested within Bingo's Combo Carnival, the board-game story is framed by the recurring scary-story title and culminates in the Friday-the-13th coincidence. Nested as an interruption inside Gerald Wheat's second voicemail playback, the hosts report Jared Johnson's text about a doctor suing Antonio Brown for unpaid fees and repeatedly farting in his face, then return to the file. The hosts review The Ranch Part 7 with CriticalRay excerpts, recap its characters and cliffhanger, call it bad, and characterize the series as a faux redneck Penny Dreadful.
