Welcome to Beyond the Circus.

This is Dale Hummel, along with co-star, Ryan Rash.

Hello, hello, hello.

And we have a special guest today that will be limited in what he's allowed to say.

He can say whatever the hell he wants to as far as I'm concerned, because he makes more sense than you do have to.

Oh, and he can get on a tie rate worse than me.

So we do have my youngest son, Chase, and his main function today is going to give us some historical perspective

where needed on the Soviet Union and Ukraine. So, Chase, are you with us? Yep, I'm here. It's a

pleasure to be on. Excellent, Chase. Chase is one of the most wonderful human beings in the world.

I am very sorry that he has been first to have a father named Dale Hummel, but he has made it through

brilliantly despite his challenges with his father. Okay. With that said, we've had many, many requests

for Beyond the Service. No, we have not. We have not. You, in your mind, have had. No, all

kinds of this.

So we are jumping on.

For the record, we're recording at 6 p.m. Sunday evening, just as we entered day five of the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

And they are yet, Russia has yet to take a major city, which is shocking.

I think that.

There's only like two.

Yeah, I know, so it shouldn't be that hard.

And they already took Chernobyl.

Just what... Just tell us a little bit about Chernobyl. Why would they take that?

I don't know, because it's got nuclear shit. I do not know.
