The aliens weren’t interested in Michelangelo the painter. Michelangelo the ninja turtle, on the other hand…..

I love Scott but Scott free episodes are super great. I just love the randomness of the conversation.

Kelly L McCubbin

Ok, I have an idea for a new framework for Scott Free episodes. Model them after the classic radio series "Duffy's Tavern." At the beginning just start with "Welcome to Gairdner's Tavern, Gairdner ain't here- oh Hi Scott!" Then just pretend like he's on the phone telling you guys what to do the whole show. Comedy gold! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ik6L3eJChOY

My favorite travel pillow is the J pillow. It works best if you’re sitting by the window though. I was actually able to sleep on a red eye flight with it

I'd recommend the podcast It's Probably Not Aliens's episode on the Ariel School UFO incident for another perspective on that

jennifer Teo

Happy Birthday Mike!

Daniel O'Sullivan

Came here to post basically this. All good info, I would simply add that the central problem was that they charged first class prices for economy tickets. As planes got better phones and even wifi, the appeal of the shorter flights for business customers decreased killing the market.

Kyle Rodriguez

Happy birthday Mike!

Breanna

BSB added new shows so they are there August 15-17. Do it for Content!

Tyler Rampley

Oh no with the Billabong gone where am I supposed to go after leaving the sublime Hot Topic?

Erin Mechanic

New thing I get to regret forever is not going to billabong final day. I went when they had 4 days left and said I’d come back. What a fool I am. Can’t wait for reveal that will surely twist the knife.

And1 shorts vs. a cig. Who ya got?

Beefer Sutherland

Deeply existential and I also appreciate the old-dog talk as I also clean up a pee pad.

Beefer Sutherland

Those chicken fingers are the absolute best food ever.

Kyle Lindas

Part 2: the boys interview Tom DeLonge

Jessica Pearson

Jamelle Bouie is the best!!

Jessica Pearson

Pup Pup’s Walnut Barrel sighting!

Ben Bryan

How is this episode less than 90 minutes?

Dan sulin

As a podcast fan that also lives in the great city of Schaumburg, I always love when Mike lets slip something local and doesn’t even realize it. Pilot Pete’s is a pair plane themed restaurant at the tiny Schaumburg airport. Known for their chicken fingers,that some argue they stole the recipe from The Village tavern up the street, and for doing a Holiday Santa meet and greet where Santa comes in via a helicopter.

I know it’s not for everyone but I loved the dive into existential quandaries and how it might connect to escapism

Kristi Stokes

Oh yeah we were a biiiig swamp gas family.

Maggie

It made a dope Lego set

Nicholas Todaro

Happy Birthday, Mike! Could you and Jason possibly go out and cover the UFOlogy Con, Contact in the Desert?

Maggie Bloom

I saw the Backstreet Boys at Planet Hollywood it was so fun!!! 🤩

Lobo

not exactly the same but I had a cat that was obsessed with Alec Baldwin in the Shadow

My grandfather witnessed the Phoenix Lights. Sorry to burst your bubble but it was lights and a crane from a construction site.

For anyone who's not sure. The Concorde has a lot of problems that eventually forced them to stop being used at all. 1. They are very loud to anyone on the ground. The sonic boom is massive so they can only fly over the ocean at supersonic speeds. 2. The Concorde was designed to be very narrow in order to go supersonic so it couldn't hold many passengers. 3. It takes a lot of fuel to go supersonic, so the few tickets available are crazy expensive. With this plus the sound, the only routes that made sense were between mainland Europe and NYC. 3. Going supersonic generates a lot of stress on the aircraft, and all Concorde aircraft had micro fractures that weren't found until one plane crashed. Modern companies are trying to bring back supersonic commercial flight, but they need to create designs that generate smaller supersonic booms with more efficient engines and larger cabins. That is extremely difficult to do, so unlikely to get a Burbank to Orlando supersonic flight anytime soon.

Can’t wait for the Mind Probes of Eva Anderson and Griffin Newman

Mark Rodriguez

I like hearing the boys get philosophical on this one:)

Molly

Yes! More alien and UFO talk! Also I really like the trtl Travel and Airplane Pillow as a non traditional pillow on an airplane.

Journalist Lauren Turk

Please pleeeease give us a part 2 sometime! You two talking aliens is what I need.

BewareTheGrayGhost

Oh hell yes.

Christian Swanson

"Can Jason get on the flight as a sexy pilot?" That's enough internet for today.

Eyal Shachar

My dog is exactly the same as Mikes parents dog. Loses her shit at any animal on TV. Also when people are fighting/running. It’s really weird.

Will Bostic

We need a relitigation on Jason’s polyester shorts burning anecdote with Scott a la December club 3

Merchant Ivory Wayans

Shout out to When the Clock Broke, the book Jason mentioned. The author has a podcast called Unclear and Present Danger about post cold war 90's movies and lots of cogent political/cultural analysis.

Could Dan ayk-a-royd be the ein-a-stein of the 21st century?

Lindy B

Wholey unrelated to this topic, but Mike adjacent in theme, the Backstreet Boys are starting at Vegas residency at Sphere this summer. Do with this knowledge what you will. Edit: This is mentioned in the ep, my bad for commenting before listening through the whole thing.
