## Official Episode Description

Welcome to “Pike Check,” our hit new BSCC-spinoff podcast about how ridiculously handsome Mallory’s dad John Pike is. We think this one has a lot of legs, just like John. This episode also contains the definitive diss track that the BSC ghostwriter known as “The Entity Known as Jahnna N. Malcolm” has had coming for about 30 years now, as well as a shocking new revelation about the mysterious events of June 10 and their meaning in Ann’s life. Also, Mallory is not well and the BSC is down to a DANGEROUS 5 members. We get into it. Possible spoilers for The Fly.

## Segments

###  Burn Of The Week

Joint burn this week: a scene where the Pike kids parody Mallory in the basement

###  Tearful Moment

Tanner: where the children put view masters in the cornucopias so that the people could travel around the world without leaving the Manor

Jack: when all the babysitters talk to Mallory over the phone and tell her that they love her.

## Theories

###  Amber Theory

In this book the passage of time is acknowledged. Mallory says she'll be in the sixth grade for the rest of her life.

## Jack's References

* Jack brings up this week's Happy Reading section. June 10, 1958: a ripple through time. In this week's section, Ann talks about rupturing her spleen in early June at the end of 6th grade. She talks about how this accident is the inspiration for Little Sister 081: Karen's Accident, which will be covered on the Patreon sometime circa July 2020.

## Notes

John Pike is a hot fox.

This is so sad. Q, play Despacito.

* Tanner and Jack are annoyed by the lack of continuity and shoddy workmanship from The Entity in this book.
* More east coast tourism shilling: Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.
* There is an in-depth discussion on the foxiness of Mr. Pike. He is like John Hamm and Pierce Brosnan. Tanner proposes a new podcast called Pike Save America.
* Tanner took his summers to learn Grand Theft Auto. Jack took his summers to learn ancient languages.
* The syllogism about Mal staying in the club:
	+ P1: If Mal stays in the club and misses meetings, her friends will become angry.
	+ P2: There is no way for her to leave the club without angering her friends.
	+ Therefore Q ("the mischievous godlike character who toys with the crew of the USS Enterprise" interjects Tanner): she must be very unpleasant to her friends
	+ Tanner called this "Old Yeller"-ing.
* Stoneybrook Manor: discussed in Episode 36: Stacey and the Mystery of Stoneybrook, BSCC: Mystery 3 - Mallory and the Ghost Cat - Old Rubbernose (burn or bees) lived there. This is another waypoint.
* The Laws of Baby Nation:
	+ A member of Baby Nation may not injure Jack or Tanner; or through inaction allow Jack or Tanner to come to harm.
	+ A member of Baby Nation must obey orders given to it by Jack or Tanner, except where such orders would conflict with the first law.
	+ A member of Baby Nation must protect its own existence, as long as such protection does not conflict with the first two laws.
