Verified episode facts

• **Lost episode production account**: The hosts say a previously recorded show was unusable because Bingo's audio track sounded robotic; this remains an attributed production account rather than independently verified file telemetry.
• **Cheez-it anniversary qualification**: The hosts say Cheez-It reached its hundredth anniversary and originated in Dayton; these historical claims are retained as attributed on-air statements and were not externally fact-checked in this transcript audit.
• **Sg hip tip outcome**: Bingo recommends water and a microfiber cloth for glass, while Danny adds generic-cleaner advice and a movie-analysis tip; the efficacy and safety advice is comedic on-air material and is not independently tested.
• **Hologram auction purchase outcome**: Bingo won a Star Trek Voyager EMH Doctor DCG hologram-card auction with a $37 bid after challenging Reddit users; the earlier listing states $0.51 shipping, but final total banter is ambiguous, and the transaction, fulfillment and authenticity are not independently verified. The card is a purchase, not a show prize.
• **Halfway okay call to action status**: Bingo asks listeners to create Star Trek Online characters and a shared halfwayokay spaceship, but Episode 133 establishes no completed group, recruited participant or play session.
• **Covid experience account**: Danny says he had COVID, was all right, and felt unwell for a couple of weeks with little cough; this is a public host self-report, not independently verified medical information or general health guidance.
• **Unnamed monkey improv outcome**: Bingo introduces an unnamed monkey character for a zoo improv, but auction updates interrupt the attempt and the hosts explicitly call it a failed bit; it has no stable title, winner or prize.
• **Mitt romson prank-email outcome**: The hosts narrate sending five prank emails under the fictional Mitt Romson persona, with no recipient response before the segment closes; private addresses and account-verification details are excluded, and no call, winner or prize occurs.
