Verified episode facts

• **Episode 35 canonical clock normalization**: The raw transcription has two chunks. Chunk 2 resets locally to zero and receives an exact +1800000 millisecond offset because one sentence continues across the reset. The canonical transcript and database cues are already normalized from 0 through 3182520; all Episode 35 persistence bounds use this canonical clock. Twenty zero-duration empty ASR segments, including sixteen tail duplicates, are discarded as artifacts rather than speech or replays.
• **Episode 35 logical prerecorded inventory**: Episode 35 contains exactly two distinct host-produced promo blocks, each played once: the contact/voicemail promo at 1556180-1587660 and Friendship Club promo at 1591040-1645580. One out-of-show-timeline editorial warning at 0-51840 is a separate insert, not a third promo. Exactly zero third-party phone files, live calls, voicemails, inserted replay files, or played lost-recording files occur. Physical filenames and hashes for the insert and promos remain null and unobservable.
• **Episode 35 competitive absence and source limitations**: Episode 35 has no Name That Name occurrence, winner, or prize and no Rank'em Up Rodeo occurrence or mechanics. The open review campaign is not NTN. YouTube and Twitch source rows are absent, while other-edition existence, chat messages, Ice Cube signals, visual evidence, exact reviewer spelling/text, the Instagram handle, recorded_at, and the final untranscribed 7480 milliseconds are null and historically unobservable—not verified zero—because only podcast audio is mapped. Do not fabricate external timestamp links.
• **Episode 35 contest state and unresolved result**: One logical Halfway Okay Silly Time Grandpa giveaway campaign remains open or unresolved at episode end. Its entry mechanic links iTunes ratings/reviews to an Episode I action figure or toy from the host's collection and a possible grandfather-themed video component. Cat with Glasses is explicitly in the running; the second reviewer's entry status is uncertain. No drawing is performed, no winner is selected, and no fulfillment is observed; complete rules, deadline, selection method, and final prize presentation remain unresolved.
• **Episode 35 itunes review and contact-route inventory**: Exactly two five-star iTunes reviews are read inside the Silly Time Grandpa activity. Helveta Cat/Cat with Glasses is explicitly put in the running; the second reviewer name heard as Desiree M.K. Sells, non-English wording, and entry status remain uncertain. Exactly four contact routes are mentioned: [redacted email], voicemail [redacted phone], the Halfway Okay Friendship Club Facebook group, and Instagram with no audible handle. Contact-route mentions are solicitations or metadata, not incoming message or phone events.
• **Episode 35 recording interruption**: A known recording gap occurs at 2179840-2191120. The hosts reconstruct the missing discussion live through 2329400; no lost audio is played, so the interruption creates no replay or source-file event and the real-world gap content remains unobservable.
• **Episode 35 silly time grandpa occurrence and campaign identity**: Episode 35 contains exactly one formal Halfway Okay Silly Time Grandpa game occurrence at 2571880-2851120. The cold-open prize setup at 61440-97580, the two review readings, and closing date discussion at 3120360-3141140 belong to one logical open campaign and do not create additional occurrences. This campaign is not Name That Name.
• **Episode 35 stuniverse explicit non-occurrence**: At 2948760-2956100 the hosts say a prepared Stuniverse item exists but explicitly decide not to play it. Persist zero Stuniverse occurrences and zero played Stuniverse audio files. Whether a distinct prepared physical file actually exists remains null and unverified rather than an artifact row.
• **Episode 35 uncertain contest date**: 2018-02-28 is the clearest announced candidate drawing date because a host states and defends the 28th. Danny challenges it with February 21, and the exchange exposes schedule confusion. Store February 28 only as an uncertain planned candidate, never as a settled next-episode date, completed drawing date, or result.
