Original air date: September 13, 2017

Episode overview

Structural cold open introducing Danny Fastpaws and Julie Metz; the untranscribed gap may contain unidentified bumper music. Formal recurring response game with two sub-rounds. Julie claims the first win and Bingo explicitly wins the later round; comic prize fulfillment is unobservable. Julie's formally introduced Lady Listeners segment covers Kellerman's, Zorbs, and mansplaining. A possible intro sting is unobservable and not counted as a file. Contact bumper announces an open Halloween spooky-story contest and gives voicemail, email, and website routes. No Episode 13 entry, winner, or result occurs. Formal recurring television-review feature, despite reviewing Sabrina the Teenage Witch, with exactly one prepared MIDI intro logical item and zero replays. Formal readback of Philip's responses to exactly eight sent questions, followed by the Casey voicemail follow-up. It is one bidirectional email thread, not duplicated as another contact. Structural outro with a noiselesschatter sponsor joke and contact plugs through the last coherent goodbye; later cues are probable outro artifacts.

Verified episode facts

• **Episode 13 source identity and podcast-only policy**: Episode row 304 and sole podcast source 322 identify Episode 13, GUID tag:soundcloud,2010:tracks/342160741, duration 4679000ms. Cues end 4672380, leaving 6620ms untranscribed. No YouTube source exists.
• **Episode 13 named-game and platform limitations**: Zero Name That Name, Rank'em Up Rodeo or predecessor, and Not the News. All That is a distinct response game, and its internal tallying is not an audience poll. YouTube source/chat is absent; general chat, Ice, visuals, speakers, and external facts are unobservable.
• **Episode 13 exact count and unknown inventory**: Exactly seven strict occurrences, zero phone rows/listener voicemails, one confirmed non-phone prepared item, zero replays, at least three written threads, two All That sub-round winners, one open audience contest with zero entries/results, zero polls/NTN/Rank'em/predecessor/Not the News. File details, chat, Ice, visuals, speakers, and final 6620ms remain unobservable.
• **Episode 13 strict occurrence inventory**: Exactly seven top-level formal or structural occurrences are persisted: cold open, All That, Lady Listeners, announcements, Friends Watch, Philip eight-question response, and sign-off. Six listed editorial or recurrent nonformal spans remain claim context, not extra segments.
• **Episode 13 editorial and media exclusions**: Bronson feud, brand/rebrand, cat, Lady Listeners prelude, Friends Watch meta-commentary, and later feud discussion are editorial or recurrent nonformal structure outside the seven strict occurrences. Previously made videotapes are discussed but not played; cold-open and Lady Listeners gaps are ambiguous and not counted as files.
• **Episode 13 written thread inventory**: At least three logical written or digital threads occur: Bingo's outgoing Facebook post, a bidirectional eight-question Philip email thread with all eight responses read, and Casey's inbound friend request with no body. Jitterbug wording and unspecified same-day contact do not create extra threads.
• **Episode 13 all that outcomes**: All That has two declared sub-round winners: Julie explicitly claims the first win, and Bingo explicitly wins the later/final sub-round. VR, terrible-heaven, pudding, and pudding-cup rewards are presented comedically; fulfillment is unobservable. Scores and presenter attribution cannot be reconstructed reliably.
• **Episode 13 contest and poll inventory**: One audience contest is open with zero entries, winners, or results in this episode. Polls are zero. All That's two in-show sub-round winners and comic prizes are distinct from the audience contest and do not establish fulfillment.
• **Episode 13 spooky-story contest status**: The Halloween spooky-story contest is announced/open with hotline and less-preferred written-email entry routes and four stated spooky Steam codes. Episode 13 plays zero entries and has no winner or result. Joke exclusions and sexualized alternative-entry language are not stable rules.
• **Episode 13 contact appeal inventory**: The episode gives the voicemail hotline, email, and website as audience contact appeals. Casey's promised future voicemail does not occur in Episode 13. Closing garbled hotline and noiselesschatter address jokes are not reliable additional routes.
• **Episode 13 friends watch media resolution**: Friends Watch is a formal review feature whose reviewed program is Sabrina the Teenage Witch. A prepared MIDI intro recording is invoked once; dialogue suggests extra material may remain on it, but literal Ghost Tape provenance, component count, physical file count, and edit points are unverified.
• **Episode 13 exact phone and prerecorded inventory**: Phone rows, live calls, mock calls, prior calls, attempted calls, and listener voicemail playbacks are all zero. Exactly one confirmed non-phone prepared recording is invoked for the Friends Watch MIDI intro around 2712240-2803740, with zero known replays; physical file/component count and exact edit points are unobservable. Two ambiguous stings are not counted.
• **Episode 13 philip response accounting**: Eight questions were sent to Philip and Casey; Philip's eight responses are read and later explicitly identified as email. This is one bidirectional thread and one formal readback segment. Authorship and word-for-word fidelity to the source email are not independently authenticated.
