Episode 95: Thank You, Garfunkel

Original air date: April 10, 2019

Episode overview

Danny launches a program asking Facebook friends to post roller-coaster videos directly to Bingo's personal page through 2020 or until interest ends, while explicitly telling listeners not to flood the Friendship Club. The hosts welcome new British listeners, perform an intentionally uninformed Brexit discussion, revisit an invented Osama-bin-London memory, and recommend the Cadbury Crunchie before closing as Morning Construction. Bingo develops a positive counterpart to Thin Ice and praises listener-artist Steve for a post about a date that becomes a wand duel with the Loveland Frogman; no score, winner, or prize exists. The hosts criticize Jason DeMoe for responding to Whitney's vulnerable dental-anxiety post with a Chandler Bing GIF, review his shallow Perfect Strangers blog, and propose comic responses without establishing any off-show action. Dice select five watched items after a trap expands the planned three-video run: an Everclear death-hoax video, Garfémon Rap, Car Wax Commercial, a profane Hot Cheetos-versus-banana-chips review, and a repetitive polio clip; no overall winner or prize is declared. The hosts interrupt the outro for a major update and play Ian Hinden's next adventure voicemail, then ask him to return; the exact umbrella title is supplied by the official RSS rather than audibly spoken. Ian reads the selected poetry branch: the friendship poem fails to soothe Little Shermie, who punches and kills the player, with no next choice, score, winner, or prize.
