The Dudes open on Frank’s birthday week, which was supposed to end at Harland Williams. The comic was at Boulder Theater on October 2. Gametime had the seats confirmed. Then the app reneged — tickets that were bought, shown as locked, and gone before the lights went down. That turns into the larger question of who actually owns a ticket once a reseller says you’re in: Gametime, the venue, or the screenshot.
Later, the fellas get into Flydubai FZ1073. Dubai to Tel Aviv, Wednesday, mostly Israeli passengers. The UAE attorney general says co-pilot Hamam al-Hammami, an Omani, used the cockpit crash axe on Captain Smit Machchhar and tried to take the controls — a “terrorist operation.” The jet dropped more than 16,000 feet in about 30 seconds, lost part of the rudder, and was diverted to Tabuk, Saudi Arabia. Official line: passengers and crew got the door open, two reserve pilots landed it. Trump’s line: Israeli plumber Yaniv Hayun, who had never flown a plane, pulled the attacker off the controls because he watches Air Crash Investigation. Netanyahu says the co-pilot was radicalized and came to crash the plane. The internet is picking a version. The fellas sort the pile.
The guys close on the CIA weather files making another lap. The 1965 “Weather Modification” memo, declassified around 2003, is back on the timeline via the Daily Mail: rockets, aircraft, cloud seeding, funding set to quadruple, Lyndon Johnson’s line that he who controls the weather will control the world. Project Stormfury. Project Popeye. Then the 60 Minutes clip that will not die — Lesley Stahl with retired Mossad agents on the Hezbollah pager plot: “We create a pretend world. We are a global production company. We write the screenplay, we’re the directors, we’re the producers, we’re the main actors. And the world is our stage.” They wrap on Gallup’s September numbers. Socialism’s positive rating hit 43 percent of Americans, first time over 40 since 2010. Democrats are at 65 percent positive on socialism and 35 percent on capitalism. Adults 18 to 34 prefer socialism to capitalism, 57 to 43. The olds still go the other way.
