    #70: Where the Fish Was

    January 25th, 2018 · 105 minutes

    This week kicks off with Daisy making a run for it and pretty much everything being Merlin’s fault. Merlin gets mobbed up in a terrible app, and John considers funding a big, beautiful fence.

    This week’s mini-topic finds John voir-diring Merlin about his weird new means of transportation. Merlin just wants us to explore our options, but John is skeptical about how it’d perform in bitter east coast climes. John wonders about all the city spikes, and Merlin endorses knife videos.

    After firing off the horn at 1:02:19, your hosts dive into a Spoiler Slot on the Amazon Prime Video series, Patriot.

    (Recorded on Monday, January 15, 2018.)
