Episode 93: Huckabucka Beenstalk

Original air date: March 27, 2019

Episode overview

Bingo explains that halfwayokay will not perform at the planned podcast event after a scheduling misunderstanding; the hosts also discuss live podcasts, possible guests, and Bingo’s Instagram growth tactic. The hosts debut Vivian’s single-selection video feature, choose the description ‘chicken,’ and watch a performance featuring a chicken, duck, and rabbit; no score, winner, or prize follows. Danny stages a mock intervention about Bingo’s drinking; the discussion becomes ABF, or Always Be Fartin’, and ends without a clinical assessment, score, winner, or prize. The hosts play and restart Casey Rubbermaid’s Camp Shawnee voicemail, read the supplied child’s homework, add its black-water-balloon Shermie story to fictional canon, and discuss a lore-filled shirt. Under the historical spoken title Bingo Reads a Marvin, Bingo performs a Tom Armstrong strip in which walker-riding Marvin causes a chain of crashes before landing in his mother’s lap.
