Hey everyone.

Robert Evans here with Behind the Bastards, and we've got some kind of sad news today.

You know, this is going to hit members of the community pretty hard.

But 48 years ago on November 10, 1975, the SS Edmund Fitzgerald went down in Lake Superior,

killing all 29 crew members on board.

This is a hard time of the year for everybody here at Behind the Bastards, for all of you at home.

And the only thing that makes it easier is the knowledge that both the Russian Federation

and the Chinese government have recently substantially increased the sizes of their nuclear

stockpile while the United States is in the process of renovating its own nuclear weapons.

And my hope, I think all of our hope, is that the leaders of our world can kind of band

together in this time of conflict and sadness to finally expend the entirety of their

nuclear stockpiles, detonating them over Lake Superior.

You know, that's my hope.

I know it's all of your hope back at home.

And I really think what can carry us through this is some classic Mao-era propaganda posters.

So in Joe Biden, Zizien Ping, and Vladimir Putin walking hand in hand, surrounded by a crowd of little kids and red guard uniforms,

heading towards the light of a new atomic sun, while a series of mushroom clouds detonate

over Lake Superior's depths. Anyway, welcome to the show, Jamie. That's so, I mean, first of all,

thank you. Thank you for that. I needed to hear it.
