Links and Show Notes
Things kick off with John describing an unknown movie in bullets and Merlin thinking it sounds a little like Batman. Of course, this just ends up leading to John chiding Merlin for not utilizing his quarantine time to finish his long-overdue homework.
Sometimes, you wanna give yourself a blue ocean, even if you never end up changing very much. Much like Neil Peart said.
This leads to a nostalgic stroll through the before times of the internet. Back when you had to buy all the misspellings and just hope you came up high on AltaVista. Also, what comes after Google? Man, the web used to be such a primitive, ugly affair. Time was, putting a field and two buttons on a web page was some pretty radical stuff. Brand names and regional fizzy drink appellations are briefly debated.
Finally, the baked ziti topic somehow also rises from the dead. And, John is still affronted that Merlin feeds his family that execrable swill from a jar.
