55: Dog-Shaped Dog

Published: June 29, 2017, 4 a.m.

b'This week kicks off with some discussion of Yakov Smirnoff\\u2019s beard, why Merlin wants to buy a drill, and how John feels a little vindicated about his read of _Fight Club_.\\n\\nIn follow-up, John catches us up on how things went after his wife listened to the house duties episode. Merlin just wants to be loved, and John just isn\\u2019t sold on the benefits of being a _no-shoe household_.\\n\\nThis week\\u2019s mini-topic concerns John\\u2019s fraught relationship with a noisy summer appliance. You just need to get something meaty in there. \\n\\nThe main topic focuses on a new addition to House Siracusa. No spoilers, but it\\u2019s a pee-poop-nipping machine and a sweet precious angel. John admits to an awkward expression of casual doggie racism, and Merlin apparently measures difficulty with barre chords.\\n\\n(_Recorded on Tuesday, June 20, 2017._)'
