145: The Opposite Mistake

from Reconcilable Differences · host Merlin Mann and John Siracusa

Things kick off with John's dissection of Merlin's bespoke automated filler text. This leads to a _fascinating_ discussion of Lorem Ipsum, type specimens, and lexical anomalies. Which, of course, leads to a look at _Tenet_ (available in cinemas everywhere now). John has some sports analogies, and Merlin found himself rewinding a lot (in the cinema, of course). Merlin likes specificity, and John sees protons and anti-protons across Nolan's oeuvre. In further media dissection, your hosts talk about _Ted Lasso_ and _The Crown_. Sometimes, you just get lucky and find the right show at the right time. Your hosts share wisdom from their kids' schools. (_Recorded on Tuesday, December 1, 2020_)
