140: I Know What to Do in a Tree

from Reconcilable Differences Hosted by Merlin Mann and John Siracusa

In follow-up, John has extensive clarifications regarding the importance of saucing the pasta in accordance with his instructions. So, of course, he also has some more instructions. Ultimately, John just wants to help you, the listener. Moving on to kids and eating, your hosts contrast their views on how to manage a constantly moving target. Merlin doesn't want to contribute to an eating disorder, and John has grave concerns about whether his son could survive when confronted with an unopened container. As a main topic, John wants to talk about Dangerous Things We Did as Unattended Kids. Inspired by the recent documentary about Action Park, your hosts recall some of the inadvisable things they each did in the absence of adults. No spoilers, but Siracusa _easily_ wins this one. How is this man still alive? In the extended members-only episode, John and Merlin challenge each other to curate and present some songs that they think their co-host might like.
