Episode 92: Sex-Butt-Murder-Mystery.alien.wav

Original air date: March 20, 2019

Episode overview

The hosts resume the listener-poetry feature, play Jerry's voicemail poem about flesh taken from an icebox, praise its metronomic delivery, call it probably the best entry they remember, and offer him a halfwayokay sticker. Bingo explains the Game Boy Camera, printer, image-editing and music tools, then describes the scarcity and expense of transferring its images to modern devices. Game Boy Camera and Nintendo are put on Thin Ice because exporting screenshots requires scarce hardware or an elaborate GameCube, Game Boy Player, Action Replay and Arduino chain. A rerolled result and trap lead the hosts through all six choices, ending with Polos Is Life; the set is broadly praised, but no video is declared the overall winner and no prize is awarded.

Verified episode facts

• **Pod fade account**: Bingo says he is trying to fight pod fade, which he defines as no longer wanting to make a podcast; this is a personal on-air account, not a diagnosis.
• **Episode-title phrase**: While joking about renaming the show, the hosts construct 'sex butt murder mystery dot alien,' supplying the core episode-title wording.
• **Strange-number call outcome**: The outgoing call reaches an unidentified person after ringing and strange audio; the hosts promote the show and hang up without establishing who owns the number, what service it belongs to, or what the tones mean.
• **Poetry submission outcome**: Jerry's entry is called probably the best poem the hosts remember, and he is promised a free halfwayokay sticker; no formal contest winner or championship prize is declared.
• **Tony birthday account**: The hosts say Tony Wartinger's thirtieth birthday prompted a group outing; this is an attributed personal recollection.
• **Living dayton appearance plan**: After learning Living Dayton still needs a guest for Izzy's planned appearance, Bingo messages Izzy and treats the positive response as meaning he will join; this is a tentative on-air plan, not independently verified booking data.
• **Thin ice subject and outcome**: Nintendo is put on Thin Ice for lacking a simple modern method to export Game Boy Camera images; no off-show retaliation or product change is verified.
• **Video roulette result**: A trap converts the planned five-video run into all six listed selections; the hosts broadly praise the set but declare no winning video or prize.
