Listen Later

What a wild week at Frequency 13, we have a new sponsor, the Mustang Motel on Route 9, SpaceX, in partnership with NASA launched the Dragon Manned Space mission on May 30, 2020.  Thirty-nine years ago, NASA launched the first Space Shuttle, and for Generation X, it was a big deal!  Even MTV thought so, and they were the guidebook for cool at the time.

In 1978 Hershey's introduced the Whatchamacallit.

Do you have any idea how many names they had brainstormed before landing on Whatchamacallit?  Don't worry; you will, after this episode.

What year was your favorite last day of school?  I'll share mine, hint: it wasn't 5th grade!

Please don't blow up the planet!  We don't need Charlton Heston pounding sand in our future!
