Speaker 1 (00:00):
You know, the world's an unsteady place. I don't want
to alarm anybody, but I've got information here on how
to survive a nuclear emergency. Actually, you try and say
it nuclear emergency. It tickles me every time you say it.
What do you say nuclear? Because that's the word. What
are you saying nuclear? You've got an extra syllable in there, nucleo.
It's like when you say, how do you what are

(00:21):
those hats that robbers wear burgular? No, it's a burglar cap.
Are you paid per syllable? What about that'll do? I'm
going to give you valuable information and if we do
suffer from a nuclear attack, your burgular cap won't protect you.
This is information to have in the back of your mind. Okay,

(00:41):
here's what happens. You can survive a nuclear blast. This
you need to remember three words through three sayings. Get inside,
stay inside, and stay tuned. So it's not the blast
that will kill you. We'll do it's the fallout. Well,
the blast will kill you. If you're near it, you
will get killed. But this is what they say. A

(01:02):
blast has a limited radius. Most people in a city
survive it. The true danger is in radioactive fallout. The
fine dust that settles in the first few hours when
radiation peaks. So this is a thing. The blast has
a limited radius survivable for most. The fallout is it
peaks in the first few hours, and that's the real killer.
Fifteen minutes. Decide everything. Give me some dramatic music behind this, Brian.

(01:29):
If there's a nuclear blast and Jonesy manages to say it,
we need some serious I've got serious concentration, dramatic music.
That's good. That's good. Fifteen minutes, decide everything. That's how
long they say people outside the blast zone have before
fallout hits the ground. You have fifteen minutes. But you
know what music? I reckon? Oh, come on Two Tribes

(01:51):
by Frankie goes to Hollway, Get inside, stay inside, stay tuned,
but not to this station obviously. And when you hear
the air attack warning, you give the information. Please, it's
not the blast, it's the fallout. We've said, You've got
fifteen minutes. That's enough time to reach shelter and dodge

(02:12):
a heavy dose. Keep it going, run and keep the vibe.
The biggest mistake, Brendan, what's the biggest mistake? Hang on dancing?
Dancing is your biggest mistake always where's my glove stick?
The biggest it's you, you're glowing. The biggest mistake, Yes,
the biggest mistake is running outside with your arms flapping
like a girl. Brendan, Your first instinct is deadly. Every

(02:35):
impulse puts you in the open. That's when the fallout
is thickert. So don't rush outside to look at the sky.
Don't jump in the car to flee. Don't drive to
get your family. A car barely shields you from radiation.
Stay put, don't go and pick up your kids, because
chances are, if they're in schools, whatever, they'll have their
own protocol. The moment the wave passes, get into the

(02:58):
nearest solid struck chut. What look if you would have
disintegrate with radiation? Do it go deep and central? Do
you want to gig that too, Brendan. Head to the
basement or building center, more walls between you and the street.
This is all well done. You don't know this stuff.
You're ready for the next wash the radiation off. No,

(03:22):
this all right? What's the protocol, Brendan, I've seen silk
wid You get under a shower and you wash the round.
The first thing you do is you take off your
outer clothing to remove and you throw it away. You
stash it in a bag, you tie it, stash it
far from people. Now, what do you do with your body?

(03:42):
You wash it down, You shower with soap and shampoo,
but not conditioner. Conditioner gluse particles to your hair, be
conditioning their hair. It's like you've just you just stepped
out of a holocaust. Does anyone have a hair straight?
And I'm not going out looking like this? Right? And
get that song on a it information you can all die.

(04:05):
I don't care. I don't care. Jenna will put this
information on our socials for people who are actually interested
in staying alive.
