Episode 98: Teatime for Severed Heads

Original air date: May 1, 2019

Episode overview

While impersonating Bingo during the Freaky Friday opening, Danny debuts an adventure segment and tells a deliberately offensive miniature gas-station story about a shopper blocking access to snap peas; no score, winner, or prize exists. The switched hosts repeatedly attempt the Didjanu jingle and deliver the deliberately false joke-fact that skeleton bones are made of old butts; no quiz, score, winner, or prize follows. The hosts promote Larryoke and solicit listener material for Episode 100, then restart after the Freaky Friday break to clarify accepted submissions, the May 11 recording date, and the day-of listener-written intro. The switched-host premise produces a short bit about aromatherapy candles, late-night Casper reading, wizard tapestries, and condors as signs of getting dark before the host breaks character and calls for a break. The hosts debut an intentionally unresearched debate format, first discussing Bingo’s ambiguous bust of a Black man and then using random prompts about religion in school debates, art education, disease funding, vaccinations, dental insurance, child labor, and the United Nations; no points, adjudicated winner, or prize exists. James Brubaker calls while driving to work in light rain and reflects that age, anxiety, and stress turned him from a coffee-shop worker who mocked decaf customers into a decaf drinker who now feels judged. Bingo’s recommendation segment is delayed by an improvised 1990s-song duel, after which he recommends PEN15 and Albert Birney’s Tux and Fanny animation, with related praise for Summer Heights High and Sylvio; the duel has no durable winner or prize.
