This week, Merlin and John talk about:

• John being hard to reach (Currents)
• Merlin twisting his back in his sleep (Merlin Mann)
• Merlin’s trip to Washington DC in Summer of 2016 (Merlin Mann)
• John taking his daughter to Washington DC (Children)
• Memorials of varying quality (Architecture)
• Fast Food Restaurant chains (Food and Drink)
• Merlin’s aspirational first grade girlfriend (Merlin Mann)
• John’s first kiss (Personal Development)
• John breaking his phone (Technology)
• John’s girlfriend with the motorcycle boyfriend (Family)

The problem: ”Not to make 9/11 about me”, referring to John having very close memories to 9/11 because he was at the towers only 10 days before the attacks.

The show title refers to John being at the dump again together with his friend whom Merlin in the conversation calls John’s dump buddy.
