Weird Frakin' Shtako

In Episode 1, we explain what Weird Frakin' Shtako is, and explore the possibility of life outside our own planet.  From the 1,887 exoplanets currently confirmed to exist to the possibility of life on Europan, to the Extremophile Deinococcus Radiodurans (Conan the Bacterium).  We also explore the likelihood of life in the universe through the Drake Equation. Then we examine what we'd do when / if we were to venture to another planet and encounter intelligent life.  What would we do?  How would we explore, experiment on, and observe other life?  Finally, we draw parallels between these behaviors, and possible parallels between those that claim they have encountered alien life here on Earth. In the news, we take a close and objective look at Ali Shukri Amin.  A 17 year old boy recently convicted of consipiring with ISIS. We also briefly look at the NSA's recent ability to gather mass information once again, and touch on a recent study on women equating money and love.
