## Official Episode Description

Extra long episode this week, Baby Nation! Tanner is back from a week in Germany, and for some reason, the boys thought it’d be a good decision to do a late night record while Tanner was still reeling from the effects of jet lag, so Jack has a really hard time keeping this one on the rails. There’s A LOT of singing. Too much singing. Sorry for all the singing. Stacey (with a soft ‘c’) or Stacey (with a hard ‘c’) (we’re not sure how it’s pronounced) has a run in with some bad girls who invite her into the seedy underworld of dingleberriness, and once it starts, the red, red wine never stops flowing. Also, we’re calling Robert the Brewdoggy now, and Stacey Sweet Toots McGill.

## Segments

###  Burn Of The Week

Tanner: "Stacey, you are SO middle class." ("It's such a brutal burn!" And "I'm sure Stacey felt so seen at that moment.")

Jack: After an extended roleplay segment, Jack finally gets to his burn, of Mr. Pappas on Mia. "You're being too generous." Tanner is unimpressed.

###  IP Freely

Jack wonders if Tanner's Lerangis Moment is actually an IP Freely for "Bullet with Butterfly Wings", which was released a few months after this book.

###  Jack Googles

Jack Googles an obscure Latin phrase: Carpe Liberum, seize the book.

###  Lerangis Moment

This week: "This Lerangis Moment" (This Magic Moment) sung by Baby Bee Jordan

Jack: (this is the one with the lace placket) SDT: "Stacey's Daily Trauma".

Tanner: "Butterflies came to life in my stomach. They crashed around as if they had metal-tipped wings."

###  Tanner Googles

Tanner Googles Clone Trooper 1137. Tanner looks for other uses of 1137: a gene, SCP-1137 (a blue orb). In the stinger, Tanner reads the UN SC Resolution 1137.

## Theories

###  Bee Theory

Two of the sitters had their faces painted and were transformed into bees. It's all in the text.

## Jack's References

* Jack Sings "Stacey's Back" (to the tune of Without Me by Eminem)
* Jack is Secretly British and Tanner has him sing in the style of Billy Corgan.
* "Tay Zonday reference."
* The year 1137: Song Dynasty China's fire, Rochester cathedral fire, a great fire ravaging the city of York, the year of the fire dragon in the Chinese Calendar. Unrelated but also mentioned, a clone trooper who served the Galactic Republic during the Clone Wars. It all ends in fire.
* Ernest Hemingway's "Farewell to Arms" and "The Sun Also Rises" and "The Old Man and The Sea".

## Tanner's References

* Tanner watched the movie Babe before Jack came on the call.
* Tanner Sings "Against All Odds" by Phil Collins.

* Tanner goes to Neil Diamond concerts with his mom.
* The SCP Foundation
* Guess who's back, back again.
* Tanner once went to a Reel Big Fish show.

## Notes

* Tanner is fresh off a trip to Berlin, Germany, and reminds listeners about the last time he was there (the very popular Episode 5: Dawn and the Impossible Three). He is now recording at Jamie's parent's house. Don't triangulate.
* Jack has "daddy's little helper", a margarita. Tanner says he looks "spritely".
* There is a discussion on how the term "daddy" has lost all its meaning now that Jack is a father.
* Tanner relates a story about drinking Newcastle Brown Ale and Shock Top Belgian White (because that was what he first drank around his in-laws and what they now always have for him).
* This week, the brewdoggy is back.
* Stacey's doing acronyms again this week.
* Stacey McGill, crime beard ("Patsy," says Tanner.) and crime girl.
* U4Me (Skylo, Ran Phillips) - and their song "I Don't Want to Say Goodbye"
	+ they might be Green Day, UB40 (Red Red Wine, Falling In Love With You)
	+ On a scale from zero (Bowser) to ten (Turbohunk), Tanner places the lead singer of Green Day, Billie Joe Armstrong, at a seven.
	+ Tanner and Jack name alternate bands the boys in the book might be into: Stabbing Westward, Silverchair, Staind, Smashing Pumpkins'  Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness, Green Day's Kerplunk.

	"Is that the same as 30 Seconds to Mars?"
	"No, that's Jared Leto's band."
	"Um...My So-Called Life."
	"That's a TV show."
	"Jared Leto's in it."
	"Okay."
	+ Noun, number, noun. Sound about how it's hard to say goodbye. Tanner and Jack sing “It’s So Hard to Say Goodbye to Yesterday” by Boyz II Men.
	+ During a break, Tanner decides that they are absolutely Guns N' Roses.
	+ They decide that the perfect band is a hybrid of: Green Day, UB40, Guns N' Roses, and Boyz II Men. Tanner wishes for a Traveling Wilburys situation with those four groups. "Oh, and Phil Collins." / "You can't just throw Phil Collins in there."
	+ Tanner's recommendation this week is "November Rain" by Guns N' Roses. Jack's recommendation this week is "Patience" by Guns N' Roses. "Wow, twofer Tuesday, Baby Nation."
* Stacey lists the eight qualities that are required for being a friend (are we repeating ourselves, wonders Tanner):
	+ Smart
	+ Funny
	+ Cool
	+ Fabulous dresser
	+ Someone who likes to shop
	+ A good listener
	+ Someone who makes me feel good
	+ Someone I enjoy making happy
* Jack says the Scholastic lawyers are waiting for Jack and Tanner to slip up.
* Roleplay: Tanner is Skylo Amadeus and Jack is Eric Jones. Tanner wants to say goodbye, Jack does not want to say goodbye. (They're exploring the lyrics from the book.) They do the roleplay in terrible accents (Boston and Southern, roughly).
* Tanner and Jack are validated in the text with their pronunciation of Spier (discussed on Episode 24: Dawn on the Coast).

It is possible to take measurements of its material composition, weight, opacity, hardness, and any other physical properties of the sphere. However, its anomalous properties take effect if any attempt is made to measure the sphere's curvature or smoothness, or any other properties related to its spherical nature. Once infected, a subject will become obsessed with the fact that, although all measurements indicate that SCP-1137 is a perfect sphere, it is physically impossible for this to be the case. This paradox will become deeply ingrained in the subject's mind. The subject will attempt to disprove this inconsistency, resorting to more and more accurate tools. Researchers have been recorded utilizing equipment including the on-site electron microscope in these endeavours. Despite this, they will never be able to perceive any results other than those indicating SCP-1137 is a mathematically perfect object, even when performing measurements at the picometer level."* Source: http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-1137
