Verified episode facts

• **Episode 46 zero findings and citation policy**: Episode 46 has zero live incoming calls, zero outgoing call attempts, zero connected outgoing calls, zero callbacks, zero show live streams, and zero live-chat sessions. The one private outgoing digital reply is not a phone call. No Name That Name round, winner, or prize; canonical Rank'em occurrence; recognizable ordered-ranking predecessor; Ice Cream Social occurrence; Ice Cube signal; formal winner; or awarded prize occurs. This podcast-only source retains exact source-289 millisecond evidence internally; do not fabricate YouTube or Twitch timestamp links.
• **Episode 46 reddit feedback granularity**: Episode 46 discusses exactly one public Reddit feedback thread originating from one show post and explicitly accounts for exactly nine I Love You Katie reply blocks, including one deleted block that is not a tenth. Other public replies are quoted or summarized but their complete stable object total is unrecoverable and remains null rather than invented.
• **Episode 46 private digital-message inventory**: The transcript establishes exactly two incoming private messages across two private threads and exactly one outgoing private reply. It also recalls one prior cohost title thread with one recoverable unit but unknown total unit count. These privacy-safe transcript-event counts omit contact values and private identities and do not create public written-message, phone, live-call, or live-chat rows.
• **Informal listener valuation classification**: The hosts improvise values for five listeners between 2722900 and 2821060 milliseconds, with Official Eric receiving the largest stated value. This is an informal comic valuation claim only: it has no Rank'em title, recurring format, drawing, Pokemon framing, stable scale, ordered final board, declared winner, or prize and is not a recognizable Rank'em predecessor.
• **Episode 46 strict segment and nonsegment inventory**: Episode 46 contains exactly one strict formal occurrence, the canonical-feed-titled Danny Fastpaws Birthday Wishes 2018 feature. Goblin Maze is the episode-title metaphor and wrapper; the fundraiser marathon is a proposed future event; Parking Budz is a listener-coined topic inside a voicemail; and Music for Sad Cunts is promoted external closing media. None is an additional show segment.
• **Episode 46 prerecorded source-file classification**: Episode 46 plays exactly fifteen unique prerecorded files: exactly fourteen birthday voicemail files inside Danny Fastpaws Birthday Wishes 2018 plus exactly one separate later Anna Parking Budz voicemail. Philip's host-paused and resumed playback remains one file, the host-only exchange before Julie is excluded, and the two personas in the final birthday voicemail remain one source. No replay or host banter inflates the count.
