## Official Episode Description

It’s another episode of your favorite show, The We Heart Kids Club Club, a podcast in which your hosts, Half Pipe and Weed Lord (oof, sorry, I think we’re stuck with this now) talk about the classic series of novels about Maggie Blume, Jill Something or other, and new babysitter, Dawn Read Schafer. This week, the boys make some sweet, sweet brain babies together, and before they go any further, they’d like to formally apologize both for the metaphor and for the horrifying results of that particular experiment. But the show must go on, and there's lots to talk about this week, including Dawn’s dad’s exciting love life, the battle between the Barretts and the DeWitts across the country in Stoneybrook, Connecticut, and the fact that Baby-Sitters Club Art Director Hodges Soileau may just have outdone himself this time …

## Notes

* Weedlord and Half-Pipe are back. Cowabunga - no fuss, no muss, no rules, just right.
* Tanner burns Jack with "regular meeting times", that even the We Heart Kids Club can handle, but not Jack (Jack was late to the record this week).
* Jack and Tanner follow Suzanne Weyn on Twitter.
* Keanu Reeves, the veilwalker, is back again, and mentioned in the context of the Earring Hierarchy. Tanner mentions that perhaps a 1993 fashion magazine came through the veil.
* They try to workshop better names for "smorgasbord + picnic".
