Episode 22: Stacey's Mistake

Explicit content warning

08/02/21 • 117 min

Stacey invites the gang up to the big city to answer that age-old question: what if illegal daycare, but in New York? Everyone (except Kristy, surprisingly!) is terrible, Ann M. Martin teaches us the true meaning of New York, and we explain the concept of the Harmonicaverse. You’re welcome.

(If you don’t speak German, we’re sorry for rambling in German, and if you do speak German, we’re even more sorry for our terrible German.)

Today’s agenda includes: tactical jeggings; the authentic New York murder experience; 843 acres of fun; the Parable Of The Ewe Lamb, updated; Mary Anne’s life of crime; an extended discussion of elevator safety; the BSC is weirdly mean about wheat allergies for some reason; Laine’s exquisite Broadway revenge; we start another fandom war; Kristy breaks out the Good Turtleneck; Stacey’s psychological acumen deserts her; brurnch; being susceptible to gravity is the greatest cringe of all; fun facts about the Dakota building, with one notable exception; unattached hicks from Connecticut; extraordinary dog stunts; an ode to Capel Street; an apology to Jeanne Betancourt.

Episode 23: Claudia And The Bad Joke

aka Do You Want MRSA? Because That's How You Get MRSA

Claudia babysits local demon-child Betsy Sobak, and gets a broken leg for her trouble, so the BSC do the obvious thing and set out to demolish Betsy psychologically. There's no B-plot, unless you count Kristy's sudden obsession with wearing food. Karen hallucinates a version of this book where everyone behaves sensibly and it's over by chapter 4. Pull up a patch of floor and remember to claim your expenses.

Today's agenda includes: critical ethnographic research, live on the air; fond slime memories; the Pikes vs. the pandemic; an urgent appeal for Vines; red-hot pen inventor slashfic action; what adults REALLY do for fun; more fun times at the Kishi house; Mary Anne's patented solution to everything; things Kristy should not google; things our listeners should not google; The Joy Of Physics, fully illustrated and uncensored; hilariously far-fetched scenarios to threaten your tween with.
