## Official Episode Description

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.

## Jack's References

* "The section that I have this note under is titled in a way that I think is going to turn you off, but I think it's an interesting topic. What I wrote down for this section is "Negation and Dereification in the Lexical Order" and most of those are words that I made up."
* Discourse communities - Tanner points out that Jack brings up academic discourse and frames Tanner in a negative space. Jack objects but does love the metaphor.
* Lexical reification, a book of ghost stories

## Tanner's References

* Tanner intros the episode by trying to write a BSC parody of "Drift Away" by Uncle Kracker, starring Beefsteak Jake.
* Livin' On a Prayer
* "It's like Mirrorman in the Flash. Do you have that written down?"
* Tanner says this is the plot of Thirteen Ghosts. Later, he references the Necronomicon.
* Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead

## Notes

* A bit of a very special epsiode (dyslexia) and also some GCBSF.
* The one with "you are very nice".
	+ Jack calls in Sarah to say, live, "you are very nice." Her response is "thank you".
	+ Tanner says this to Jaime off audio, and she was very skeptical.
* There is an extended section on Uruk-Hai and ring bearers.
