The audio track is from a comedy tape by Ace Hoffman, probably first aired on the Dr. Demento Show June 8, 1986, just seven weeks after (or into) the Chernobyl nuclear disaster. It was Hoffman's third comedy routine to be played on Dr. Demento's national show, the first being Three Mile Island Beatles, first aired on Dr. D in 1979, and most recently (as of this writing) aired on the show in 2008, and the second is sometimes called "the Enumerator's Dilemma," about the U.S. Census.
