Links and Show Notes:

Things kick off with the usual problems, and then somehow there's a whole thing about magic tricks, perception, and misdirection. John cannily coins "The Reverse Columbo."

In Follow-Up, Merlin has a headphone correction, Listener Dave nominates !bff, Listener Benjamin identifies the weird old guy pronunciation channel, and a band from the 80s gets the LED out.

John points out that, with computers, binaries are definitely a thing, but Merlin feels like he could go either way about it.

For a main topic, your hosts have more to say about Jelinsky. As a very entertaining dingaling, our guy's brief time on Survivor provides a good opportunity to explore how the show is produced and presented.

Finally, your hosts consider John's potential career path as "an external coach."
