CHAPTER

Storming of Area 51 and the Baghdad Phantom

"We were always going to do an episode about Storming 51 because there are current events still related to that," he says. "All these memories started flooding back and it ended up being something that the last episodes we were talking about ... It was the most fun episode that we've done to date."

Yeah, we

dropped a little bit of a bomb in that last episode, the Baghdad Phantom images. And of course, people immediately griped about it because, hey, we had to sit through this whole episode about Stormary 51 before we got to the good stuff, like accusing us basically of burying the lead, which I guess you can make that argument. But I think we should tell people, we were deciding that at the last minute. We were always going to do an episode about Storming 51 because there are current events still related to that. And it was a cool episode to begin with. And then we're in the studio, and we figured, well, maybe we should drop a little bomb and give them a little bonus at the end. And that's what we did, right?
Speaker 1
Yeah, absolutely. So that's kind of the cool thing is that was actually one of my favorite episodes that we ever did. And I didn't know it was going to be until we started talking about it. And all these memories started flooding back. It ended up being something that the last episodes we were talking about, episode number seven of weaponized, Storming of Area 51 and the Baghdad Phantom. So what was cool about it is we got to kind of revisit the importance of that event. But then also, as we were talking, we were like, huh, there were numerous people that have been messed with in this field. And so it was kind of good to go through the nuances of that. Well, here's the deal. That episode was so important for people to hear about how that went down, what the responses were, what the tonality is of our defense department and also people that are interested in this subject. So for me, it was the most fun episode that we've done to date.
