Merlin shares two recent experiences with Apple technology that were unqualified successes. Which, of course, leads to a jeremiad about some consumer tech that's a good deal less successful. John explains how writing books is like jazz, man.
Things kick off with a recent Apple ID dust-up, but John's not so sure it's any different than the usual Apple ID dust-ups. Merlin has a panic attack when his beloved debit card doesn't work.
Then, there's some Follow-Up on the Magic Marker System which John thinks might be post hoc BS, and Merlin asks John to clarify his term for being his family's TV ambassador, although that's not the word he used.
In something like a main topic, Merlin shares two recent experiences with Apple technology that were unqualified successes. Which, of course, leads to a jeremiad about some consumer tech that's a good deal less successful.
Merlin suspects Airbnbs might be a racket for rich people to get free housekeeping for a house they've never actually lived in, and John explains how writing books is like jazz, man.
In this week's members-only after show, Merlin has a quick drinking update, and then your hosts discuss the very good FX show, Shōgun. Spoiler Horn fires off at 2:08:06.
