Let's get a mic check here, one, two, one, two, episode 29.

No gruffs given. Now I am become death, the destroyer of worlds. Now I am become death, the destroyer of worlds.

That is J. Robert Oppenheimer. American Prometheus is the book.

Today, episode 29, we are going to get into nuclear war. We are going to get into our politicians. We are going to get into all of it, the history.

But first, I want to introduce a few people. First of all, Michael is to my right and Michael is a little worse for where?

He has a large, an extra large black coffee from Rocket Gas Station. He has just flown in from New York City. He went on a five day bender.

He went to the Rangers game. He walked all over New York. He met some of you, the listeners, no gruffs, no gruffs given listeners.

He lost his bag, mid flight, booked a new flight, delayed flight. He is in Burbank. He is here in studio.

I don't miss deadlines, you know. I am going to make it.

You are going to be fine. You are going to be fine. How is the trip?

It was fantastic in New York City. When you are there in short doses, you remember why you love it so much.

Yeah. And you are there in October, which is still the weather is great. You can walk around.

Did you see any murders?

No.

Okay. No idea.

What area of town did you stick to?

I was staying in Chelsea and most of my friends and that are in Williamsburg and Lower East Side East Village.

I saw a picture of you on the subway and there was not one other person on the subway.

That was me going back to the hotel to get my bag last night.

Right. So that was late. Yes. That was very late.

Because you had a 4.45 a.m. takeoff.

Yeah.
