Links and Show Notes:

Things kick off with some initial concerns, and then Merlin shares why so many things are kind of like a television.

In Follow-Up, John has confused his retired newscasters, and Merlin still hasn't figured why he was so disoriented by a strange oven. Werner Herzog cameos are considered.

Next, Merlin has a confession that reflects the logical conclusion of realizing you can always augment the sub-standard materials supplied by a host.

Painful rituals of car seats and Catholicism are considered, and John indulges Merlin's retrospective look at 15th century gift cards for sin.
