Ep 6 - Crank chats about Skunk Works, scaring goat herders, how Aliens screw with us, his very own satellite, & Fueling jets with mustard seeds

Ep 6 - We chat with Crank, a self-described "cool-kid of the super nerds", about literally EVERYTHING......he is an "employee" of Lockheed-Martin with Skunk Works; or is he? He tells us about a satellite that he built, in his college called The US Naval Academy. We find out what the government is doing with mustard. We fall down a small rabbit hole, called The Doolittle Raid, B25s and Pearl Harbor (the movie).
What did Stiffy see that night at Area 51? Crank is determined to explain NFO's. Do they exist? Are we the only "intelligent" life in the universe OR are we some other alien's play toy? Are there belligerent alien teenagers? We find out in this episode.
We munch on some tech for Air Races ...and learn about The Air Force "Martini Medal."
Question of the day: Why does Crank's jet smell like French fries?
We can't wait to hear from you
