It's 1982. It's war-torn Afghanistan, and that's just about as much as the Soviets will let us tell you. 

In what Russian censors are already redacting as the XXXX episode of the CB Wallop Podcast, join Phil Jerrod and Phil Lucas as they discuss The Salang Tunnel Fire - the massive fire in a terrifying tunnel under a terrifying mountain in a terrifying country during a terrifying war that's been so completely hushed up this episode is a good ten minutes shorter than usual.  

Do we know anything about Afghanistan? No.. no we don't. 

Trigger Warning - this one's people being incinerated again - but luckily we know so little about it that the details are sketchy at best. We do have a short conversation about arranging ham into the shape of genitals though.
