Links and Show Notes
Things kick off with some Donkey Kong Follow-Up that leads to a fair amount of vintage video game nostalgia. Merlin has a new Thing It Took Him Too Long to Realize, but John seems determined to deny him any kind of credit or joy about it.
In response to a listener request, John goes into more detail on what exactly Ice Day entails.
The main topic is Kids and Driving. Which includes appropriate side topics on motion sickness, running stop signs, and Merlin's former life a very unsafe young operator.
Also: Afterschool Specials.
