Here's a preview of the new one. So we spent the day on Amtrak to get out there and then

we went and saw some people and ate a lot of great food. There's amazing food in Albuquerque

and went to some museums and such. And the one that really made me want to talk about this

on the podcast was we went to the Nuclear Museum, the National Nuclear Museum in New Mexico

in Albuquerque. And let me see. The National Nuclear Science in History.

New Mexico now. New Mexico. Yeah. Why would there be a nuclear museum in New Mexico?

Well, I know it's because of Roswell. They got it from the crash to

you were joking, but it was. Anyway, enough humor. Yeah. And, you know, I've had long had

sort of an interest in, I mean, like if you're a science nerd and you grew up on like

sci-fi of like Asimov, Heinlein, Clark, et cetera, all of whom, you know, we're working writers

talking about nuclear things in the 30s and 40s and afterwards, all of whom actually worked for,

and nuclear science. And you know, something that I've long kind of, you know, as a kid, I was a guy
