How could I have not known that one of my most fave PDs on Vox has his own channel?! I've been missing out on a lot of great vids!

It honestly surprises me that you don’t have at least 200K subscribers with this quality. Keep up the good work! 👏

I wouldn't be surprised if instead of beef stew, the USSR tested the radioactivity of vodka after being near a test explosion

Never stop making these videos man. Found ur channel a couple weeks ago and the quality is immaculate. Keep it up man!

The 50s were such a strange time that kinda haunts me because of how odd and eery everything feels from then

We have enough distance now to know how silly dipping your groceries in disinfectant was.

As if this video is a year old and has sub-10k views - your content quality is 10/10, the production is two thumbs up, and the presentation 5* - so exciting going through your past content and finding gold like this.

Phil putting out non-Vox content FOR FREE and my mans not getting even a fraction of the views and respect he deserves

I enjoy and respect all of your videos, but this stands out as a particularly strong piece of work. Very interesting and engaging. Nicely done.

This channel is an absolute gem!

As a small KZfaqr I can only aspire to make content at your level keep up the good work.

Phil!! Love your work at Vox! I am so glad you started your own channel!

Great video! I was kinda hoping the stew was cooked by the nuke lol

It is also like the TSA theater we now engage in now. Some idiot failed to light a shoe bomb and now we have to all take our shoes off. There was also a guy who succeeded in lighting his underwear, which failed to ignite the plane's fuel, but we don't all show our underwear. That is because they KNOW we will revolt at that level. Government theater to gain compliance. Good episode!

Thanks for lending some interesting perspective to then and now.

When a new crisis strikes, it is impossible for anyone to know exactly how it will play out. However, no one wants to feel helpless, so they grasp on to charismatic figures with assertive and practical solutions, even if those solutions become ridiculous in hindsight.

very interesting, I always thought it was only simple abomb test but that one was really well planned out

8:56 Doggo’s 😟

i know the apple ii tests have nothing to do with the computers, but i imagined a goofy apple ii computer-nuclear bomb

Phil, did you check the color of the meat to make sure it wasn't green and shiny before eating?

How is this video so damn underrated???!!

Lol I feel bad for JCPenney.

nice video phil 👍

I never heard of this, so interesting!

I still disinfect my pickles. 🤣

This video is instructive.

Great video, Phil! Keep up the good work!

It's like the Nuketown map.

Absolutely fascinating. I lived thru this just had a happy child room hiding under my school desk. We all thought it was just to defeat Japan (now a hugh ally!) and would not best used again

What are taxes for if not to shove your fears and tribulations on to the shoulders of experts who know what they are doing and have everything under control?

I wish I could afford the meal they fed that mannequin.

I do love these vids and how neutral you place yourself on the political points.

You should get more views!

How did the cameras survive. When ever I see vids of those test and how every got destroyed I've always wondered how did the Camaras making the vids not get destroyed. Not because of zoom, they were obviously up close.

Did you say bemidji and get it right?

Algorithmic punch!

I have an idea or theory on your channels recent popularity. I think it could be what I call the "Johnny Haris effect," where a respected video journalist could potentially be facing editorial or management issues in which they're stories are seemingly limited. Just looking at your vox profile you went from stories every one month to now having longer spans of time between release of content originating from you I begin to have concerns that you could be released from Vox (just for the record both you and Haris' content were my favorite videos from vox,) and I think I'm just scared I'm going to see a second idol of mine released or fired from Vox.

5:30 Are you making a joke?

dayum interesting...

Real life Nuketown

Wow, only 24 comments :(. Well time to make it 25!

They were pro Mis(s) Cue?

Arby's curly fries are hella overrated Fite me

Never saw that BranchCovidian video cuz I don’t lose my mind over a flu virus

Dislike solely because you said they should have paired their roast beef sandwiches with curly fries and were eating Arby’s curly fries🤮

Arby's being still around is a sick joke.
