Summary

Ep. 37: “The CEO of Magic” - Roderick on the Line - Merlin Mann on Huffduffer

The Problems: Judgy tureens of Snapple®; John touches every LARP-er; bell tones snap to grid; O. Henry’s recursive taxi talk; Merlin’s awkward dental bragging; Grant makes his initial bones with a pig; thanks for the add; scaling the Cynicism Fence; Såra deliberately provokes The Colonel; stressful tooth fats; Bentham’s box; grooming a Brony; Idaho’s beard crackdown; it’s still Donnas all the way down; landing face-first in a scrum of leaves; using a word that don’t mean nothin’, like “looptid”; plus, John settles on his new Comic-Con persona.
