Episode 96: Where the Roses Don't Fade

Original air date: April 17, 2019

Episode overview

Bingo defines his Hot Cake format and argues that Profoundly.me is a convoluted, embarrassing and attention-seeking Facebook trend before the hosts reminisce about MySpace and other old platforms. The produced Didjanu frames Danny's ordeal filing Franklin city taxes and an extended discussion of buying a rifle, obtaining a suppressor and debating gun policy. Danny gives Bingo six old social-post or Alan-Jackson-lyric prompts; Bingo identifies all six correctly, but no final numeric score, named winner or prize is announced. Bingo reviews The Elder Scrolls: Blades, praising its graphics, sound, portrait play and goblins while criticizing its fun factor, monetization, time gates and character customization. The hosts repeatedly replay a loud, nearly unintelligible North Dakota voicemail, then play and frequently pause a Rich Life check-in about Episode 95 and his online activity. Bingo clears his remaining notes by mocking Ben Shapiro's small teeth and testing whether Julie knows that AFK means away from keyboard.
