    Spies in space! This week Nate talks about the world baseball classic and hurting himself skiing… again. Ryan talks about a game in which he fights a sentient refrigerator. Then after both of them share some interesting spy stories they turn to their main media. For their discussion of The Relentless Moon by Mary Robinette Kowal, they discuss character likability, theologically inconsistent choices, and how far to take your revenge.
