On this episode of The Zach Show, Jim Mahaffey and Zach discuss how Jim became fascinated with nuclear history, the most infamous atomic weapons smuggler of all time, the high-risk environment of The Manhattan Project, what really went wrong at Chornobyl, a perfect explanation of what happened at Roswell, Cold Fusion, whether a nuclear powered Iron Man suit would actually be feasible, the connection between UFOs and nukes, and more.
