Published: Dec. 14, 2017, 6:30 p.m.

b'This week kicks off with some discussion of humidity, noisy clothing, an attempted delivery, and that whole ongoing \\u201care flats a thing?\\u201d debate. Under protest, Merlin is persuaded by John to discuss a recent acquisition of new technology. Merlin thinks security is a little like a mall, and John gauges success by a relative dearth of complaints. The pronunciation of \\u201caunt\\u201d is discussed.\\n\\nIn a mini-topic, John has some things to say about ***garlic***. Merlin\\u2019s convenience cubes are explored, while John shares several ways to leverage and deploy this pungent treat. The complex relationship between children and garlic is appraised.\\n\\nThis week\\u2019s main topic goes into ***kids and security***. Or, more specifically, what kids learn (or don\\u2019t) about password hygiene and the broader landscape of basic InfoSec. Merlin is at the end of his rope, while John declares that no system is good.\\n\\nAre schools missing an opportunity to model better behavior when it comes to using devices? How even could you teach kids _why_ they can\\u2019t use the cat\\u2019s name as a password? Will they end up just reverting to the mean, such as it is?\\n\\nThings wrap with some spoiler-free TV talk. Both of your hosts enjoy that cowboy show with the lady from _Downtown Abbey_.\\n\\n(_Recorded on Tuesday, December 5, 2017._)'
