Links and Show Notes:
Things kick off with some Billy Joel talk. Merlin thinks he's hearing double, but John's not so sure. Anyway, be sure to hang that graduation on the wall.
In follow-up, John shares a listener's collection of colorful zipper nudges from around the world. Next, Merlin's kid continues to unintentionally learn how to do computer things. The legends and lore of YouTube engagement strategies are considered.
This week's main topic is The Apparatus. In which your hosts investigate a fascinating and evolving contraption that appeared in Merlin's neighborhood.
Things wrap with some anecdotes about places in Merlin's neighborhood where people have made numbers one and two in gross, anti-social ways.
