b'Things kick off with the usual disagreements about who\\u2019s driving and who\\u2019s in the trunk, but then things briefly settle into an interrogation of the purpose behind begging for podcast ratings and reviews. Does it actually, _really_ help new people to discover the show?\\n\\nJohn tries to remember a song, and Merlin fondly recalls _un cheval maladroit_.\\n\\nNext, John has some thoughts on grass and how it grows. Merlin wonders if it might be another \\u201cTrust Your Mechanic\\u201d-type situation. Both of your hosts agree it seems like there\\u2019s maybe a lesson about life in there somewhere.\\n\\nThen, at last, it has come to this: **The _Reconcilable Differences_ Quorn Pre-Post-Mortem Spectacular**.\\n\\nWhile it is (obviously) way too early to talk about this business as if it\\u2019s done, it does feel like a useful moment to look back at what we\\u2019ve learned and what has changed\\u2014even as we look forward to what we might continue to learn and what might continue to change.\\n\\nWhat BS did you miss, and what BS would you be happy to never have to deal with again? Whither handshakes and awkward hugs? When will we stop doing that weird retail crab walk? Will mask people remain mask people? Should more of us learn \\u201cthe claw?\\u201d\\n\\nWhat about subtlety and uncertainty? What about society and culture? Has the epistemological cherrypicking of The Dumb Guy just become our permanent way of life?\\n\\nFinally, your hosts share some preliminary wish list items for post-Quorn life and work.\\n\\n(_Recorded on Tuesday, May 4, 2021_)'
