This week, Nate and Francis discuss a recent story that reveals the culprit beyond former Nissan CEO Carlos Ghosn's escape from the Japanese court system: he paid a former Green Beret and extremely Boston cop-seeming guy to smuggle him out in a case. It turns out this patriotic human trafficker has his own incredible story, which we've cribbed from Military Times (https://www.militarytimes.com/news/2020/05/21/ex-green-beret-nabbed-in-nissan-execs-escape-has-lived-on-the-edge/)

For this week's bonus, Francis speaks with Defense News reporter Valerie Insinna (@ValerieInsinna) about the selling points of the F-35, what it's like to fly in a fighter jet, her favorite old-timey aircraft, and some premium St. Louis food banter.
