BSCC 072 - Stacey and the Cheerleaders

This week, two inept hosts who WERE NOT born during a storm NOR during a Super Bowl game try their very best to describe and discuss a Baby-Sitters Club book written by two beautiful storm-touched souls. And there’s no sign more clear that Jack and Tanner are starting to lose their credibility than the fact that they’re “coming around” on Stacey. Can you believe that?! Stacey meets a new boy called Robert, and together, they drain the swamp and dismantle the corrupt establishment that is SMS’s sports program. They’re real nine-one-ones. (nine-elevens?)

BSCC 071 - Get Well Soon, Mallory!

Welcome to “Pike Check,” our hit new BSCC-spinoff podcast about how ridiculously handsome Mallory’s dad John Pike is. We think this one has a lot of legs, just like John. This episode also contains the definitive diss track that the BSC ghostwriter known as “The Entity Known as Jahnna N. Malcolm” has had coming for about 30 years now, as well as a shocking new revelation about the mysterious events of June 10 and their meaning in Ann’s life. Also, Mallory is not well and the BSC is down to a DANGEROUS 5 members. We get into it. Possible spoilers for The Fly. Music credits: “Reflection,” by Whitesand “Passive Aggressive,” by Soundwell Music “Further Investigation,” by Teknoaxe “Don’t Leave Me,” by Lionel Schmitt “Epic EDM Club Dance,” by Higbie “Love Potion,” by Fasol Prod Thanks as always to original Baby Boy Scott Lamb for the intro music, and to Superbrat for the outro music. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/jack-shepherd8/support Learn more about your ad choices.

BSCSC 005 - California Girls!

The BSC is undeniable this week. Fine, fresh, fierce, and they’ve got it on lock. Except of course when Stacey is committing Surf Crimes, Car Crimes, and a whole host of other felonious activities. Or when Mallory’s committing Fashion Crimes and Hair Crimes. Or when Kristy’s just being kind of generally overbearing. How come Katy Perry never talks about any of that when she’s naively singing the praises of these California Girls? That’s the real crime. Oh, also, an ancient evil is back, so prepare to be scared! Music credits: “California Gurls,” by Katy Perry “Tanzen” by KieLoBoy “The Dark Castle,” by Fesliyan Studios “Don’t Leave Me,” by Lionel Schmitt “Romantic Background,” by Aleksandr Shamaluev “Old Bad John,” by The Baby-Sitters Club Super Club Chorus “California Girls,” by The Beach Boys “The One You Loved Is Gone” by Soularflair Thanks as always to original Baby Boy Scott Lamb for the intro music, and to Superbrat for the outro music. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/jack-shepherd8/support Learn more about your ad choices.

Jack and Tanner sit down to discuss book one in the "Baby-sitters Club" series, "Kristy's Great Idea," and try to get to the bottom of what Kristy's idea is exactly, and why it's so great. (Spoiler: the idea is a baby-sitters club.) --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/jack-shepherd8/support Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

BSCMC 005 - Mary Anne and the Secret in the Attic

Prepare to dive headfirst into a world of intrigue and MYSTERY! To unlock the SECRETS of Mary Anne’s origins; to decipher the PUZZLE of the universe’s most mysterious clock; the RIDDLE of Logan’s nipples; the ENIGMA of the Warp Whistles in Super Mario Bros. 3; and the REBUS that is Arnold Schwarzenegger’s most MYSTERIOUS film. Most importantly, prepare to solve the perplexing CONUNDRUM of whether the boys are going to find an insanely complex and breathtakingly chaotic way of doing segments, which are traditionally supposed to provide structural simplicity and order! And, of course, prepare yourself for an answer to the greatest MYSTERY of all: What on Earth are these boys going to talk about now that they’ve read all the main canon books and Super Specials????? (Oh, also, prepare to cry, because this one's a sad one.)

BSCC 068 - Maid Mary Anne

It’s a real sewing circle jerk this week, Baby Nation (to use a technical term), and if you happen to be into that sort of thing AND you’re a fan of the 1990 fantasy graphic adventure game “Loom,” this one's really going to be right in your sweet spot. But there’s still plenty to love even for folks who are on the fence about weaving, sewing and weaving/sewing-based videogames because the boys have a whole lot to say about Nicky Pike’s dalliance with the dark side, Dawn’s “looming" departure from the BSC, and the increasingly delightful antics of new fan favorite, Elvira the Goat. Also, we can’t say more about this right now but: WARNING: DO NOT listen to this episode if you have a room with corners.

“There are other worlds than these. That we are drawn there again and again has to do with the rose. I have no doubt of that, nor do I doubt that in some way I do not understand the rose is the Dark Tower.” - The Dark Tower: Wolves of the Calla This week Jack and Tanner talk about their favorite memes, a startling new artificial intelligence in Stoneybrook, the glaring, blood-colored field of roses still far from here, and the frightening rate at which the Mimi virus self-replicates and finds new human hosts to infect.

BSCC 082 - Mallory Pike, #1 Fan

This week’s book is a clear cry for help from the Primarch of Princeton herself, and Ann – if you’re reading this – we hear you! And if you’re open to notes, we want to let you know that writing a step-by-step guide on how to stalk children's books authors is maybe not the best approach for dealing with your isolation and loneliness. But we’re just humble podcasters. What do we know?

BSCSC 006: New York, New York!

This week the girls of the BSC fuggedaboutit! as they leave Stoneybrook and schlep to the mean hard streets of the Big Apple! Watch out, cause these bridge and tunnel kids are definitely walkin’ here! on their way to get a bagel with a schmear! from the nearest bodega! Then when they’re done with that, maybe they’ll wait on line and get a plain slice of pizza or a famous New York taco on Houston street, which is pronounced like “house-ton” and not like “hugh-ston” Also, the city is infested with Lovecraftian horrors the likes of which will rip your consciousness apart just by laying eyes on them.

Jack and Tanner go fully CSI on the quiet town of Stoneybrook, Connecticut and try to get to the bottom of a 30-year-old cold case involving a rash of high-profile burglaries. In the course of their investigation, they discover a dark secret about one of the town's young residents, Alan Gray. (The secret is that he likes Kristy.)

Will Mark Markson and Dave Daveson ever return from the Cauliflower Universe? Will we ever find out what Alan Gray keeps in that weird room of his? Will Jack and Tanner ever get around to discussing the book this week? These questions and many others will not be answered this week. Sorry.

BSCSC 010 - Sea City, Here We Come!

Stacey and Mary Anne are headed back to the scene of the crime. To the place where it all started, all those years ago – to the locus for those half-forgotten events of that tumultuous summer in Sea City when Stacey went boy crazy, a condition that affects her to this very day. And the consequences of this return to the past – of this “recherche du temps perdu” – will be cataclysmic. A great storm is coming. A hurricane. A tempest of rage and hurt and remembrance that threatens to consume everything in its path. And with the darkness preceding the deluge come other dark things. Things that crawl and creep and grasp with their tendrils and their tentacles. Things that devour. Here we come, Sea City. And may Heaven protect us from what follows. Music credits: “Tanzen” by KieLoBoy “Dramatic Trailer,” by Audiophile-Trax “Love Potion,” by Fasol Prod “Powertool Massacre,” by JBlanks “The Dark Castle,” by Fesliyan Studios “The One You Loved Is Gone,” by Soularflair “Epic Halloween,” by OlexandrIgnatov “Sadness,” by AudioRose "Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn,” by The Eldritch Reader Thanks as always to original Baby Boy Scott Lamb for the intro music, and to Superbrat for the outro music. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/jack-shepherd8/support Learn more about your ad choices.

BSCC 081 - Mary Anne Breaks the Rules

Babies and Gentlemen of the jury – over the course of this episode, we are going to present you with nothing but the facts of the case. You’re going to hear about Logan’s deceitful charm, about Alan Gray’s clever ruse, about the witches who walk among us in plain sight, and about William Blake’s critical analysis of Paradise Lost. And when all is said and done, when you have heard all that there is to hear, when the truth has been brought into the light, you are going to have no choice but to mete out justice according to the sacred laws of our great Nation of Babies. You are going to have no choice but to ACQUIT MARY ANNE SPIER OF ALL CHARGES. Because Mary Anne has broken no rules, Baby Nation! Unless there is a rule against loving too much.

Has Dawn finally been replaced? Can Wendy Loesser stand up to the immense scrutiny of the BSC? No and no! But we do get some G.C.B.S.F. this week, which is all we can hope for, really. Also in this episode: Bee theory, Green Lanterns (go figure), OWOWing, a special text message appearance from Jack’s friend, Jan, and an even more special appearance from everyone’s favorite low-voiced business men, Dave Daveson and Mark Markson.

BSCC 066 - Dawn's Family Feud

Happy Trails, Baby Nation! Jack and Tanner are taking a tour of Boston’s “The Freedom Trail” this week, thanks to the entity known as Jahna N. Malcolm, who co-wrote this novel with Ann. M. Martin and (presumably) The Boston Tourism Board. Unfortunately, Dawn and Mary Anne are at each other’s throats again this week, so the boys distract themselves from that unpleasantness by spending a laudable amount of time Googling to see if the Bible ever mentions weed.

BSCSC 015 - Baby-sitters' European Vacation

This is a time for sobriety and reflection as the boys gaze bravely into oblivion. Shattered by the loss of a dear, innocent friend who was betrayed by those who should have protected him, they must step forward, alone, into a future devoid of Super Specials. But before they do, a loving look back at this really great final book! Jessi has committed a series of cold-blooded murders, Alan Gray’s joined the Stoneybrook Liberation Front, and Kristy’s doing kissing and arm stuff with a Canadian! This is Pete Lerangis’s swan song and his magnum opus and it is so much better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.

Strap on your best learnin’ hat and get ready for a good, old-fashioned education! This week, Claudia is learning from Stacey about where apostrophes go; Tanner’s learning from Jack about something very dry and almost certainly made up out of whole cloth called “The Lexical Order,” and Jack’s learning from Tanner all about the hit 2001 supernatural horror film “13 Ghosts,” starring the great Matthew Lillard. We also learn what happened to Jackie Rodowsky in his latest dance through the infinite, and the boys learn together just what happens when they muster up all their courage and say something to their beloved wives that they should have said a long, long, long time ago. “Battleships,” by Thomas Wolff Music https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R1OTLh2RGiA “Run,” by Ross Budgen https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ujsCRw-eA0o “Rise,” by Ampix https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IUXjQIUv9KE “You Gotta Have Theremin and Ukulele,” by Squidlord https://soundcloud.com/squidlord/you-gotta-have-theremin-and-ukulele “Morning Sun,” by Nicolai Heidlas Music https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jDQYljt3mtc “Land of Honor,” by Maxx McGee https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UFhmfHMcnAs “Apocalypse,” by Ross Budgen https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v29KVjUXiS8 Thanks as always to original Baby Boy Scott Lamb for the intro music, and to Superbrat for the outro music. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/jack-shepherd8/support Learn more about your ad choices.

BSCMC 006 - Mystery at Claudia's House

“Mystery” is generous for this book because there was not really much of a mystery, but it was a pretty fun book and discussion! When Janine “The Janenius” Kishi begins to act strange around her family, they begin to wonder if she’s fallen in with a bad crowd. But, she hasn’t. She just has a super hunky boyfriend now called Jerry. Mystery solved. Lots of X eye for the Y guy discussion, so all the ~fashionistas~ out there in Baby Nation should get a kick out of Jack and Tanner’s complete misunderstanding of all things fashion.
