Verified episode facts

• **Episode 31 source identity and podcast-only policy**: The authoritative RSS and database identify Episode 31: Critters Land as episode row 286 and sole podcast source 304, GUID tag:soundcloud,2010:tracks/384924461, duration 6007000 milliseconds. The canonical transcript ends at 5997860, leaving 9140 milliseconds speech-unobservable. No Episode 31 YouTube or Twitch source exists, so only podcast timestamps are retained internally and no public video link may be fabricated.
• **Episode 31 structural and nonformal block inventory**: The opening parody and identification 0-42480, contact-info bumper 1139280-1181320, Friendship Club bumper 2253800-2313440, Buzz Cord or Hive Hiss transition 4063740-4109220, and spoken outro 5945040-5997860 are wrappers, promotions, or transitions rather than formal content segments. Conclusion of the Screensaver Saga is a feed-titled callback claim; the voicemail block and SimCity story are descriptive prepared blocks, not additional formal segments. The two promo blocks' physical file count is unobservable.
• **Episode 31 named-feature absence**: Episode 31 contains no Name That Name occurrence, entrant, winner, selection, or prize and no Rank'em Up Rodeo occurrence, predecessor, rating, ranking outcome, winner, or prize. The comedic fifteen-thousand-dollar Platinum-tier backer riff is not verified contest, entrant, winner, fundraising, or prize data.
• **Episode 31 excluded topic taxonomy**: The Bazinga and 8-bit Geek Nation running gag, Screensaver Saga callback, Gorbitz.gub and Critters-family discussion, driving and shopping buds riff, voicemail playback block, and SimCity BuildIt story are not additional canonical formal segments. SimCity chat is reviewed third-party written game content, not episode-platform live chat.
• **Episode 31 chat ice youtube and visual limitations**: Episode-platform chat, Ice or Ice Cube signals, YouTube and Twitch identity, and visual evidence are null and historically unobservable because Episode 31 is podcast-only. The SimCity guild-chat reading is secondary oral evidence with an unobservable raw message count, not a platform chat archive. RSS listing Stu's YouTube handle does not create an Episode 31 video counterpart.
• **Episode 31 exact zero and unknown inventory**: Episode 31 has exactly one formal segment occurrence, exactly two prerecorded voicemail rows, zero voicemail replays, zero live, outgoing, attempted, unanswered, mock, or narrated-prior calls, zero Stu audio files, zero contest winners, drawings, or awarded prizes, zero Name That Name rounds, and zero Rank'em recaps. Physical promo-file identity, raw SimCity message count, voicemail callers' legal identities, definitive sweepstakes drawing date, platform chat, Ice, visuals, and the final untranscribed 9140 milliseconds remain null or unobservable rather than fabricated zeros.
• **Episode 31 stuniverse explicit non-occurrence**: The RSS mentions The Stuniverse, but the hosts explicitly say Uncle Stu will not be on until the next episode. Later discussion concerns failure to receive his song and a proposed burned CD-R; no Stu recording, song, weekly Hello, haiku, voicemail, or other contributed-audio file is played in Episode 31.
• **Episode 31 screensaver and attributed outcome claims**: The feed-titled Conclusion of the Screensaver Saga is a callback rather than a formal segment: the screensaver issue appears at 1085200-1105380 and is reported fixed at 1403980-1413280. Bingo later reports leaving the SimCity war and guild and receiving no word from the creators; reports of muting, blocking, sanctions, and creator response are not independently verified without raw platform evidence.
• **Episode 31 promoted contact routes and solicitation**: The produced promotions state [redacted email], voicemail [redacted phone], and the Halfway Okay Friendship Club Facebook group. A joking request to place home phone numbers in reviews is immediately opposed, supplies no number, and creates no contact event; private home numbers must not be solicited or published. The outro request to contact Mike Ceproni about a future Spooktacular has no outcome in this episode.
• **Episode 31 canonical formal segment inventory**: Episode 31 contains exactly one canonical formal content-segment occurrence: Bingo Problemz at 1206800-2091260. It contains exactly two explicit child complaints, the jail-ride/studio guest dispute at 1220100-1808640 and the burned CD-R proposal for Stu at 1809300-2091260. Bingo Problems is the spoken-ASR alias; RSS supplies Bingo spelling and the segment explicitly specifies Z styling.
• **Episode 31 written-contact inventory and granularity**: Episode 31 reports one incoming jail-friend text, one outgoing coordination action to Bingo and Jarrod whose group-versus-separate message structure is unknown, one incoming Eric group-thread request, one outgoing Bingo reply, one prior Jerry Wheat iTunes review, one Byron Hussein Facebook photo post, and a long SimCity BuildIt guild-chat thread. Exact raw message-unit total is null because the host quotes and paraphrases threads, admits part lacks a screenshot, and does not expose raw records. Retain only public pseudonyms and never infer private identities.
• **Episode 31 exact voicemail inventory**: Episode 31 contains exactly two unique prerecorded voicemail files and zero replays: one Matt Ramney or Romney source at 4122840-4134820 and one Jerry Wheat source at 4167680-4322080. Jerry's repeated pauses and final resume remain one logical file; Gary and Cherry Wheat are jokes, not callers. There are zero live, outgoing, attempted, unanswered, mock, or narrated-prior calls.
• **Episode 31 everybody loves grandpa sweepstakes status**: The Everybody Loves Grandpa Sweepstakes remains pending and internally contradictory: February 28 is described as the original drawing date, February 14 as a later possible switch, and February 1 at midnight is stated during the interrupted voicemail with ambiguous referent. A later February 28 official date applies explicitly to releasing unspecified prize information, not conclusively to the drawing. No drawing, winner, result, award, or disclosed prize identity occurs; the adjacent review promotion may be related but is not explicitly proven identical.
