Hey guys, it's me Josh, and Fallout shelters have been on my mind a lot lately. Um, we've been doing some episodes about the Cold War, and they played a big role in that. Uh and uh that second season of Fallout, a TV show based on the game, it's really good. Uh and on Wednesday, I got trapped in uh the Fallout shelter in the basement of an abandoned school for 18 hours, and um someone finally found me and the fire department had to come cut a hole in the steel door with a huge saw. So I thought that maybe releasing our episode on Fallout Shelters again as this week Select would be a good idea. It came out in 2020 and it's pretty good and I hope you enjoy it.
Welcome to Stuff You Should Know, a production of iHeartRadio.
Hey and welcome to the podcast. I'm Josh Kablooy Clark. There's Charles W. Bam Bam Bryant and Jerry Radioactive Roland. Oh boy. And this is stuff you should know. You still got it. After all these years. You still got it. Yep.
Hey, I think uh before we get going we should talk very briefly about our audio book.
Oh yeah.
Because this week in real time we are uh each recording our respective parts for the audio book. And first of all, we just want to tell everyone there's gonna be an audiobook version. Yeah. Spoiler. Of uh stuff you should know. Colon and Uh mostly incomplete guide to very interesting things.
Man,
still
An incomplete compendium of mostly interesting things.
Uh yeah, so we're we're trying to push that out as a uh you know, get both as is what I say. But if you're into audiobooks, we're doing one. But also I just wanna make sure people know what they're getting. And I put this on the Stuff You Should Know Army page. They're not getting twenty seven new podcast episodes.
No.
And they should know that because our podcast is unscripted conversation.
Mm-hmm.
An audiobook is us reading an audio book and rather than Just weirdly trading lines reading from a script, which would I think that would dash a lot of people's image of Of what we do.
Yeah.
Uh we are each reading chapters and I think they're gonna mix in some stuff here and there, but um Yeah. I mean it's gonna be great and fun, but It's not podcast episodes. We don't get to just fart around and make jokes like we gotta read our book.
Yeah, we ha oh man, we will be kept in line. If we tried to fart around and make jokes, it would not be good. There's this whole time as money ethos and yelling, sometimes crying. It's a real stressful situation, everybody. How did you how'd that
go
for you yesterday?
