Episode 90: The Hermit's Tower

Original air date: March 6, 2019

Episode overview

Bingo and Danny discuss Pokémon Sword and Shield and its starters, watch and narrate the reveal trailer, and briefly extend the segment into Final Fantasy XIV and Shadowbringers talk before explicitly closing it. Danny debuts a seven-prompt guessing game in which Bingo classifies old posts as his own writing or Alan Jackson lyrics; individual answers are revealed, but no final score, formal winner, or prize is announced. Bingo puts two anonymous workplace phrase errors on Thin Ice—‘big hoo-ha-ha’ and ‘jibber-jobber’—and jokingly sends both speakers to the imaginary slammer.
