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. Our theme song is "The Incredible Shrinking Larry" by Matt Oakley on the Free Music Archive.
