    Links and Show Notes

    Things kick off with Merlin blowing his nose and John hearing it.

    In Follow-Up, John brings us up to speed on his recent adventures in jury duty. Merlin has thoughts on what we can infer from a drug tester who keeps sipping meth from the big control jug.

    Next, John is (yet—further) trolled by the jackals who make announcements about their future TVs. Merlin wonders if maybe John should just learn to weld.
