The Sub 2 Hour Marathon That Nobody Will Remember

A bloke runs the first ever sub two hour sanctioned marathon and the guy who came second also breaks the world record. Nobody will remember his name. That kicks off a conversation about loneliness stats, making mates as an adult, the dumbest things operators have ever done on site, and whether wearing undies under your jammies makes you a psychopath.

- Practical ways to actually make friends as an adult without it being awkward
- The dumbest things mine site and plant operators have ever done

- Wearing undies under jammies and the stats behind it
- Seat Gate 2026 continues with zero complaints from the women
