Hey, and welcome to the podcast.

I'm Josh, and there's Chuck, and Jerry's here, too, keeping us proper.

And this is Stuff You Should Know, the Sit Up Straight Edition.

Uh, I gotta say, after this, researching this, I am a big fan of Emily Post.

That list was one way to do it.

Another way to do it was to found, um, a little village called Tuxedo Park, a, a little north of New York City, and it was created as, like, an enclave and escape for the incredibly wealthy, um, old money to get away from new money.

And, um, I wanna preface this, Chuck, by telling everybody I'm not making this up, but Tuxedo Park in New York is where the tuxedo came from, uh, AKA the dinner jacket.

That's right.

I'm Josh.

There's Chuck, there's Jerry here too, sitting in for Dave, and we're here to celebrate the, uh, Pagan Thanksgiving that you never knew you needed.

[laughs] Yeah.

I, I th- I don't remember if we mentioned this in... 'Cause we covered some stuff on Wiccans and other sort of pagan religions years ago, I feel like.

Yeah

... like the Maltese, the Mayans.

And then, Chuck, get this, the pyramid of Kukulkan at, uh, Chichen Itza in Mexico.

Uh-huh.

Hey, and welcome to the podcast.

I'm Josh, and there's Chuck, and there's Jerry, and this could not be more of a good old-fashioned Stuff You Should Know episode, um, if it tried.

[laughs] That's right.

I think you're right.

She fell asleep.

So, uh, yeah, we're talking about dreams.

Chuck, do you typically have dreams? Do you often remember them? Do you never remember them? Are they nightmares? Uh, what's the deal?

Uh, no nightmares.

...

I think we're going to talk about fallout shelters, because Chuck, um, your house has a basement, but it's exposed on one side to the outdoors.

It's not an in-ground basement as far as I know, and hopefully I'm not divulging too much information about your house, so, so weird fans will be able to find it and show up.

Well, actually, it, you know, one side of it is exposed to the world, but the other side is, you know, 10 feet of earth and red clay.

Mm-hmm.

But let's say a one-megaton H-bomb back in the day would completely wipe out everything within about two miles from where it hit.

Yeah, and, and I know I said we weren't gonna fearmonger, Chuck, but I found out that there is a bomb in the US arsenal called the B83, which is 1.2 megatons, and it can be carried around very easily by the B-2 bomber.

Okay.

Hey, and welcome to the podcast.

I'm Josh Clark, and there's Charles W. "Chuck" Bryant, and there's Jerry Roland, the triumvirate, the hat trick, the trio, the triage-

Trifecta

...

Oh, yeah.

During our long break, which was wonderful.

Yeah, it was so nice, Chuck.

I actually, get this, relaxed.
