  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mZPax623DDc&amp;t=34">0:34</a> &quot;Happy Jack&quot; refers to the name of a song (by Arch Bacon) prior to an EAS test on 9/6/2001 on WBNX. It gained popularity because it was an EAS test only days before 9/11, and the song is upbeat considering moments later doom and gloom.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mZPax623DDc&amp;t=875">14:35</a> The last radio broadcast out of Warsaw in 1939, for those wondering;<br>&quot;Hello, hello. Can you hear us? This is our final message. Today, German troops has entered Warsaw. We send brotherly regards to all, Polish soldiers fighting in Hel. And all those fighting, wherever they are, Poland has not perished yet! Long Live Poland!&quot;<br>(Hel, btw, not being &quot;hell&quot; but the peninsula Hel in the gulf of Gdansk.)

  The &quot;man coughs on an eas alert&quot; thing is in reference to an EAS test in Oregon, where in the line below, the announcer coughs his lungs out.<br> <br>&quot;...prosts-- poses a threat to your life health and property. <b>*fucking dies*</b> &quot; <br><br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VWZ6OiBs730&amp;t=409">https://youtu.be/VWZ6OiBs730?si=776eDDFG0JtlMceS&amp;t=409</a> This is the video I found it in, with the time stamp. I can&apos;t seem to find clips of it on its own.<br><br>Also, I don&apos;t think you got the Metalocalypse incident right. This most likely could refer to the test that happened in North Carolina on October 14, 2008, where an episode of Metalocalypse got interrupted with THE LOUDEST EAS test ever.

  I have a feeling the cussing in EAS would just be a disaster being described as “hellish”
