Welcome back to Behind the Bastards, the special episodes on how we're all possibly going to die in nuclear hellfire.

I'm Robert Evans. This is a series we'll be doing over the course of two weeks, five episodes.

We're in our second week, so you'll be getting a bonus episode this week about the

sons of bitches who created the doomsday device that, again, could kill every single person

you've ever known and loved and every animal on earth except for, you know, cockroaches

and the like 15 minutes from now or right now, you know? We'd and the like, 15 minutes from now, or right now, you know,

we'd have no way of knowing unless you're, I don't know, in the White House at this exact moment.

Margaret Kiljoy, welcome to the show.

How are you doing?

You thinking about nukes?

Well, I got promised this was about Warhammer 40K, but I suppose we're learning about the nuclear apocalypse.

I'll bring you on when we do our Warhammer show.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah, there's a lot of genocide in that, too.

I can be the podcast today for that because I actually don't know anything about Warhammer.

It does involve a lot of nukes and radiation poisoning, which is what we ended our last episode talking about.

Our friend Louis Slotten, who was the partial father of the first atomic bomb, had his innards dissolved due to a horrible nuclear error.

Oh, yeah, and he got to kind of like leave a record for science.

Because he was a pretty cool guy.

Like, that's badass.

Like when you know that like, okay, well, I have just taken an immediately fatal dose of radiation.

I'm going to die the most nightmarish death imaginable.
