DISCUSSED: the Russians are coming; Dan has thoughts on Marvel TV shows, and Merlin has thoughts on Hawkeye specifically; Merlin bravely and boldly recommends watching a film that's often considered the greatest ever made; in Follow-Up, Dan has an update on Taskpaper as well as wanting advice on how to fire Photoshop; Merlin seems weirdly excited about his new pencil; yet more praise is heaped on Rogue Amoeba; and, finally, in an unexpected twist, both your hosts realize they did the same thing last week.

| 0:00.0 | Hello, hey Merlin. How's it going? All right. I don't know if you can hear it. We got |
| 0:12.4 | the construction going on as you know the Bang Bang machine. Yeah, I'm looking forward |
| 0:16.0 | to that. Also, there is a man directly outside my office door speaking Russian pretty |
| 0:24.9 | loudly on speaker phone. That's cool. Well, is it because here's what I'm thinking. If |
| 0:34.3 | I had to conduct a conversation, some very important business discussion. Oh, I can kind |
| 0:40.6 | of hear him. Yeah. And I will right outside of a construction site. I'd go ahead and take |
| 0:45.3 | it off speaker because he kind of needs to yell extra to both here and be heard over |
| 0:51.0 | the construction in which he's standing in front. How are you? I'm doing pretty good. Yeah, |
| 0:57.0 | great. Great. Great. Oh, I had to I had a little I wanted to open with some FU. And this |

| 1:34.0 | very late to the party on that one. And so we started Hawkeye. Oh, yeah. Oh, God, this |
| 1:43.1 | is going to drive me out of my God. Damn mind the Russians. Yeah. And I mean, the speaker |
| 1:50.0 | from part, I would like to hear about that because I had kind of a funny experience with |
| 1:58.2 | the TV show. Oh, God, shut up with the I had a funny experience with that program. What |
| 2:04.4 | did you think? I, you know, we've only watched the first episode and I'm we're not no intention |
| 2:10.9 | of not completing the six episodes. We're going to watch them all. But so far, this seems |
