Hey, everybody, it's Joe from Thinking Sideways, and I've got something new for you.

This is a podcast with my friend Vincent, and this first episode is a mystery, which I think you will enjoy.

But I wanted to say this, we were messing around with some different audio gear for this one.

And the sound quality isn't quite the best, but rest assured in the future episodes will sound a lot better.

So, enjoy.

This is The shocking details. Yes, that is correct, Joe.

I'm here on the banks of the Puget Sound where a mystery is unfolding tonight.

After an emergency beach side landing, Software Empresario and Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates

has been reported missing,

and things only get stranger from there.

Apparently, Mr. Gates was aboard his Learjet, returning from a conference in British Columbia,

surrounded by business associates when he excused himself to use the plane's restroom.

A few minutes later, his personal assistant went to check on him and found that he was not

in the washroom at the back of the airplane, nor was he anywhere aboard the craft.

A massive search is underway at this time, but as speculations and rumors swirl, authorities

admit they are no closer to locating the billionaire's whereabouts.

So imagine that one day, you pick up the paper and it tells you that somebody really rich and

famous is just disappeared. Say Bill Gates. And by the way, Bill Gates didn't just disappear while

he was on his way to the quickie mart for a pack of smokes like most people do. Now, he actually

vanished, as you heard, from his corporate Learjet in mid-flight and nobody else in the plane

even saw it or heard it happened.
