Oh, from the '40s?
Jason38:10
Or the '30s? No, but he put on this like radio radio play where Mars was attacking the world and everybody thought that we were being invaded by aliens.
David38:20
Prank on the radio? Yeah. Is that legal?
Jason38:23
I don't know if it was a prank as much as he was just— he knew, he knew, I think he knew people were going to be confused by this, but he did it anyway. And, and people were listening on the radio like, fuck, we're being invaded by aliens.
