b'This week kicks off with some follow-up on John\'s receipt of the coveted Blue Check on Twitter alongside some speculation on the lack of motivation that seems to smother even Twitter\'s most half-hearted approaches to managing abuse.\\n\\nFurther follow-up concerns pronunciation of "Marina" (say `m\\u0259\\u02c8r\\u0113n\\u0259`), thoughts on being "The Other Guy" on a podcast, and more discussion of *thought technology*. Also, we all get dumb PR email, and, sorry, it looks like _Millennium Actress_ got pulled from the YouTube.\\n\\nThe big topic this week? _Sauce_. More specifically, John walks us through how he cooks, stirs, and deploys delicious spaghetti sauce at scale. Merlin admits to failing at home fries whilst super-high. A general discussion of cooking practices reveals that Merlin is _probably_ America\'s greatest microwave wizard. \\n\\nAlso, John and Merlin hold a spirited Science Debate on whether and how lighting a match may or may not tackle flatulent effluvia. *With Science*.\\n\\n\\n(*Episode recorded Wednesday, August 3, 2016*)'
