Erik and Ben step off their first class flight from Bangkok to LAX and start back down the Road to 9/11. We reflect on the brightest, bluest Tuesday in recorded human history and go over our own personal experiences as freshly traumatized middle school children. After laying out both what this show will and will not be about we then catch you up on just what happened that fateful day (I will save you the suspense, it sucked major ass). We then lay out our cast of characters in a blame game lightning round: Al-Qaeda, Saudi Arabia, The CIA, Israel…. the gang's all here folks. All that and "holy shit, Richard Blee face reveal??" on this debut episode of Podcast For the New American Century.

Join us next week for lunch at the worst Middle Eastern restaurant in downtown Los Angeles. The FBI might say that the food is "not very good" and "the service is poor" while Yelp may call it "permanently closed". We still have a corner table and a heaping, hot plate of truth with extra garlic sauce.
