  • The Best

    Although it’s scripted, it’s quite funny and entertaining. Love the topics how these are sometimes Easter eggs I. Other shows like Connected they Myke and Stephen also co-host.

  • Inventors killed by their own inventions

    I like the episode but I met the test pilot for the Mizar flying Pinto . He was not suddenly unavailable. They knew a week in advance that he couldn’t fly that day and chose not to reschedule. His name was Charles Red Janisse and he had previously flown it and it had the same mishap that killed the inventors

    But Red was a skilled pilot and landed the Mizar safely in a bean field and drove the Pinto back to the airport.

  • Amazingly pointless knowledge, presented in an incredibly entertaining format.

    How else would I have known that there was a heist on Maple Syrup, or that there was a flood of *molasses*?
