    Thanks to all that listen to our podcast and all we ask is that you share our podcast with family and friends.

    We have to confess an error we refer to the bipedal mutated rabbits as Hoppers but they were actually called Hoops.  Hoppers were the large horse sized mutated rabbits that some used as mounts.  Hoops were smart and Hoppers were considered dumb by Hoops in the game.  Sorry for confusing the two mutated rabbits. 

     The Day After aired on November 20th 1983.  Interestingly enough the NATO ran a command post exercise called Able Archer, later records reveal that this was the closest the world was to nuclear world war since the Cuban Missile Crisis.  Check it out, pretty scary stuff.
