The Boney Island Whitefish in: Child Advocates for INjustice

We’re back for 2026!

Devon talks about becoming ever more Chinese, Riley gets defensive, and Andrew wins breakfast update for the millionth time.

Also we watched an episode of Bones where a dastardly child advocate thwarts the Jeffersonian team at every turn, but mostly we talk about how cool it would be to bring a huge pile of pure magnesium scraps with you to the afterlife.

If the trope of a sexually predatory teenage girl who throws out casual rape accusations interests you I have GOOD NEWS for the series as a whole because it comes up a lot. Often but not always the actual victim. The show is not great

I got bit in the face by a dog at a family gathering and all I got was an extra serving of pudding and a “sorry” from the folks at the hospital

“What did you do to get bitten” was the first question my roommate asked lmao

I like to show my high school students the chateau fight from The Matrix Reloaded and then the same scene with Low Rider by War instead of the original sound and I tell ya, those kids love the low rider version

Also just want to plug Skip Intro for anyone who likes to look at cop shows through the critical lens of copaganda

You know, Bones is the dumbest of the cop serials I used to enjoy- but it is probably the least problematic. I can't even get mad at it the way Blue Bloods or Law and Order pisses me off

A few doors down from me lives an insanely aggressive dog. The fence is solid tin (or a similar metal) and above head height so I've never seen it, but the fence has dents in it from where the dog runs (apparently head-first) into the fence whenever I walk my dog past it, which is every day. BTW, bones can melt. I visited the Hiroshima memorial museum and saw roofing tiles that had half-melted and merged with half-melted bones.

Would be funny if you could get Jesses Teahouse on the pod for more chinese breakfast and tea content. Anf maybe he likes Bones.

As a melbournian, I can also corroborate the density of tea shops in the city. And they're almost all good, too

Are we all just going to pretend Spittlefield is a normal thing?

Just remembered the episode where Booth is suddenly getting the handgun yips, and Stephen Fry and Sweets theorize that Booths gun is his penis and tell him to bring Bones to his handgun qualification and he does and it works. Also just remember the Dustin Hoffman anecdote I heard on NPR where he says that he had a gun pulled on him by some director at the director's home, and says i "It must have been a Luger 9mm because the hole at the end was so big"

Bones can't melt it simply can't happen to bones, Bones.

Don't you guys have laws where you live? If a dog bites someone in sweden you can report that and the dog will most likely get put down, and hopefully the owner gets banned from owning dogs

I got unbelievably excited to hear Dev mention jian bing. I lived in Beijing for 3 years, and my mandarin school was in the hutong and only 5m walk from a place that did incredible veggie jian bing. The secret was a filling of shredded carrots and crunch cabbage, and a light drizzle of thousand island dressing. My love for my wife is the only thing stopping me from living there again.

The only thing more powerful than the pull of Becoming Chinese is the love of Wife
