## Official Episode Description

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?)

## Book Description

Jack's description focuses on The Group and is super dramatic. Tanner does an excellent job.

## Segments

###  Baller of the Week

Mrs. Thomas is the baller for burning Watson about ordering a deli spread and posing to pretend he cooked the food.

###  Burn Of The Week

Jack: "A sleepover! Oh, goodie!" (In a baby voice)

Tanner: "Maybe Stacey's having an insulin reaction!"

###  Claudia's Closet

Plaid unitard

Stacey wore a black and white plaid unitard on her date, covered with a black oversized cotton knit jersey.

###  Jack Googles

Jack Googles to see if Tanner was stormborn. He was not.

###  Lerangis Moment

Pete Lerangis is also stormborn, just like Ann.

Tanner Sings his original Lerangis moment song, and then looks up a Baby Nation song. Baby Bee Kara, "there was something in the air tonight" (Abba's Fernando).

Tanner's weak moment is RJ Blazer. Then, a joint Lerangis moment from "the Connecticut Journal of Hair Disorders". Jack's weak moment is "Logan says she cries at store openings."

###  Soileau You Into the Dark

Tanner Sings and Jack Sings the theme. The scene on the cover did not happen in the book: Stacey yelling at Tiffany Kilbourne, "Give me a B-S-C". Stacey never becomes a cheerleader and never wears the outfit.

## Jack's References

* Jack describes his runs in 90 degree weather.
* "Are you talking about Possible Worlds?"

## Tanner's References

* Lady Bird Johnson --> Lady Bird Lake
* Tanner was born during a Super Bowl, says his parents, but this is not true, says Google. "Black Sunday" says Jack, impressed.

## Notes

* Very little babysitting, lots of good clean fun.
* Jack reads a scandalous article from the Stoneybrook paper.
* Tanner and Jack are very into "this dude Robert". They bring up the catchphrase: "a real 911". Jack calls Tanner a real 311, because he's annoying him.
* "Drain the swamp." Re: cheerleader politics.
* Tanner and Jack are confused about "Danskin" as an item of clothing. (It's a brand name.) Tanner sends Jack a picture of one, and describes it as what the women in Glow wear.
* Tanner expresses a desire for a Romphim to fit a 6'4" man.
