Episode 273: Grow Ub

Original air date: November 3, 2025

Episode overview

Bingo thanked Greg and April for inviting him to a pity spaghetti dinner, reviewed his first air-fryer tofu, and described his first Saturday improv shift and Halloween party. Bingo lamented buying an oversized storage trunk that obstructed his apartment and repeatedly injured his toe, along with smaller household frustrations. Bingo reviewed and voted on audience-submitted button-board sounds; Julie’s blunt ‘Do what?’ submission won and was installed. Bingo ranked Hypno, Snom, and Flareon, drew a bright memorial portrait of Viv’s late cat Ricky—nicknamed Bicky—for Steve, and earned a perfect 5.0 stars. Bingo revisited Barbara Christensen and reviewed her increasingly surreal AI-generated finance posts about options strategies. Bingo skipped the poll and opened Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: Memories from the Future cards, reviewing Nog, Jake and Sisko, Rom and Leeta, Kira, Dax, Worf, and other characters and moments. The random-number generator selected goofy shoes at position 33 from 37 subscribers to receive the Deep Space Nine cards and prize bundle.
