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.

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.
This show is a nerd thirst trap and I love it
