<h4>Links and Show Notes:</h4> <p>Things kick off with John sharing some breaking news about <em>The Flop House</em>, plus it&#39;s clear that Merlin&#39;s Britishisms are becoming numerous, invasive, and a little un-American.</p>

<p>Next up, Merlin wonders how John generated all that cool chapter art for a recent <abbr title="Accidental Tech Podcast">ATP</abbr> special. (Hint: some of it was automated; some of it was not.)</p>

<p>And, finally, Merlin decides to apply Theory of Mind to predict why John hasn&#39;t watched the Billy Joel special yet. Subsequently, John is pitched on why this program probably represents essential viewing for him and his people.</p>

<p>In this month’s member bonus segment, John has book-adjacent questions about Merlin&#39;s <em>Wisdom Project</em>.</p>
