Regarding Will’s “Matrix in Space” comment, aliens are included in the Matrix universe, via a Neil Gaiman short story called Goliath.

I believe Kipchoge has used pace runners in earlier, in-competition, races. It is a thing. In cross country skiing, bike races etc this is a thing. I don’t doubt that he might break the record in normal competition soon. Dude is a beast.
Norm, have you used the smart summons feature …..

Well you asked, so no, Jeremy, you didn’t. You’ve gotten better at actually remembering to announce the person who makes the outro song, but even then you still sometimes forget, which is a real disservice to the die hard fans who take the time to make these outros. As I said in the past, just take 5 minutes before the show to make sure you have everything in order before you start. It’s not difficult, and yet you seem to mess something up every show. As someone who was a pioneer of bringing professionalism to podcasting with sound bumpers, you lack what you used to advocate in this regard.
Also you guys have gone yet another week without mentioning Minecraft Earth. Ugh.
