Verified episode facts

• **Halloween spooktacular revenge-call outcome**: Bingo makes one live outgoing call to Greg as a joke about exclusion from the Halloween Spooktacular; Greg says he feels unwell and ends the call, and no callback occurs within Episode 129. This is a transient on-air self-report, not medical evidence or a durable health profile.
• **Drinking and fear account**: Bingo says he drank from fear, anger, and disappointment rather than for fun; this is a dated public self-report, not a diagnosis, treatment recommendation, or independently verified behavior record.
• **Blaseball recommendation**: Bingo enthusiastically recommends Blaseball, identifies the Kansas City Breath Mints as his team, and describes its fictional sports rules and community; these are attributed episode-time descriptions and preferences rather than independently verified platform data.
• **Mystery solving society outcome**: The hosts treat information attributed to an anonymous former Maskell associate as a plausible update. The source identity, purported Maskell identity and photograph, biography, recording history, death account, and stage-name explanation are not independently authenticated.
• **Episode-title phrase**: During the proposed Maskell stage-name explanation, the hosts paraphrase its wordplay as how much weight covers one's face, supplying the official episode-title phrase without independently verifying the etymology.
• **Medication and dream account**: Bingo attributes unusually vivid dreams to medication; this is a dated public self-report, not verified causation, medical guidance, or a current health profile, and the later violent material is explicitly fictional dream or hypothetical content.
• **Gender-reveal pitch status**: The hosts improvise an untitled fictional pregnancy-status reveal proposal; Episode 129 establishes no real participant, pregnancy information, business, winner, prize, or completed event.
