Topic: Concord 11

NASA has awarded Lockheed Martin a $20 million contract to develop a new, quieter, and more fuel-efficient supersonic passenger aircraft by 2020. The hosts reflect on the history of the Concorde, noting the trivia that the aircraft was scheduled for a return to service on September 11, 2001, the same day as the terrorist attacks.

The release of the Nike Air Jordan Concord 11 shoes resulted in reports of pushing, shoving, and pepper-spraying at malls across the United States. The hosts suggest these "riots" may have been orchestrated or exaggerated as a PR move by Nike to create artificial demand and hype for the product.
