69: Concentric Circles of Hangers-On

Published: Jan. 11, 2018, 1:15 a.m.

b"This week kicks off with follow-up on _The Barkley Marathons_ and the totally bananas mental and physical capacity of endurance athletes. \\n\\nYour hosts dive into an accidental mini-topic on ***the art of podcast titles and show notes***. Merlin tries really hard, but John knows he can always do better. \\n\\nThe next mini-topic ends up being about who gets each of your hosts ***feeling starstruck***. Merlin meets (yet) more of John\\u2019s heroes, and John\\u2019s not loving it. John isn\\u2019t sure what he has to say to anyone anyway, and Merlin tries to make the case for wholesomeness. John still has a little problem, but he\\u2019s working on it. \\n\\nIn this week's Spoiler Slot (starting at **`1:04:39`**), your hosts discuss ***The Last Jedi***. \\n\\n(_Recorded on Tuesday, January 2, 2018._)"
