40: I'm singing!

The Power of Material is proven once and for all, as Google bows to Yasmine's will. We discover Andy has a podcast about Hamilton. Russell brags that he totally gets exercise and stuff.

And of course we discuss Google's new voice, their amazing track record at buying companies and whether or not robots can feel pain. Oh and Yasmine sings at the end of the show. This is what happens kids if you leave more in your local recording than you perhaps should. MU HA HA HA HA HA.
