Topic: Zapata

The history of "flying cars" is explored, from the Zapata air scooter to the decades-long efforts of Paul Moller and his "Skycar." The hosts discuss the limitations of EVTOL technology, such as short battery life and licensing requirements. They conclude that most of these inventions are recycled publicity stunts that fail to provide a practical alternative to traditional aircraft or automobiles.

The show's "value for value" model is discussed through various listener emails, including a German supporter who donates money earned from giving blood. The hosts address a listener's concern about accepting donations from individuals linked to controversial figures like the Koch brothers or Robert Gow of Zapata Oil, asserting they will accept support from anyone. Additionally, the segment features "challenge coins" sent by an anonymous donor from the NSA's 60th anniversary.

A donation from a producer renovating a hacienda in the Yucatan leads to a discussion about Robert Gay. Gay is identified as a significant figure in the Skull and Bones society and a former associate of George W. Bush at Zapata Oil. The hosts joke about the "New World Order" sending small donations to the show.
