    This week's challenge: just do the thing.

    This week Alex and Merlin got really silly as soon as they started recording, so instead of a typical After Show, they ended up making a Before Show (which you should listen to first). It’s confusing, but you’re a smart cookie.

    You can hear this week’s Before Show and support Do By Friday on Patreon!
