b'This week kicks off with a meander through Skype avatars, back-to-school night, and personal metadata quirks. Merlin feels bad about getting a new TV, and John assures him it probably won\\u2019t be terrible. On separate occasions, John and Merlin both demonstrate a lot of restraint.\\n\\nMerlin apparently doesn\\u2019t know how to (not) turn off his PlayStation, so John walks him through it. Paul\\u2019s in the basement, Sahm\\u2019s on the roof, and Merlin doesn\\u2019t even know how to make fun of John to his satisfaction. Typical.\\n\\nYour hosts accidentally discuss tech, John provides a sitrep on his mouse offensive, and Merlin admits grudging admiration for his sugar ants. John\\u2019s dog has a regression, and Merlin\\u2019s cat costs him _another_ grand.\\n\\nThe main topic this week is ***Twitter***. Your hosts discuss their following decisions, their bespoke mute and block strategies, and some of the Sisyphean methods for trying to stay out of a canoe. Merlin feels bad about lots of things, but John ain\\u2019t no follow-back girl. Merlin says handle does not equal-equal person, and John thinks celebrities don\\u2019t actually read their timelines. Merlin responds to the Republican candidate\\u2019s texts, and nobody texts John hardly at all. Who\\u2019s Holden Caulfield _now_?\\n\\nThings wrap with the airing of grievances about children and their terrible habits. John\\u2019s son has excellent hair.\\n\\n(_Recorded on Tuesday, September 19, 2017._)'
