Bonus: "Robbie and the Work Fridge" (Welcome to the Apocalypse S1E2)

[00:00:00] Hey everybody, we've got a little bonus episode for you here. As you guys know, The Cast of Us and the Podcastica Network are mostly about analyzing the hell out of entertainment, but we decided to actually put out some entertainment too.

[00:00:21] I'm talking about our new improv podcast, Welcome to the Apocalypse, which we're cross-posting an episode here on The Cast of Us for you to check out. Before we get into it, I've got the stars of the show here, Randy, Jenny, and Robert

[00:00:36] to tell us a little about it. Welcome guys. Hey! Hello, hello, hello. Welcome to the podcast. Beloved listeners. Yes. The cast of us. The biggest. So tell me about the podcast and who you each play and what it's about.

[00:00:53] Well, Welcome to the Apocalypse is an improvised horror comedy podcast that takes place in the apocalypse, hence the name. And basically it's about three survivors who find themselves currently in a zombie apocalypse

[00:01:11] and all of the weird and interesting people they meet along the way who have been shaped by the apocalypse. And each episode is improvised, which is sort of the twist. We don't really know what's going to happen when we hit record and we do a little bit of

[00:01:30] editing afterwards to add some music and sound effects, but we're making it up as we go. Oh yeah. No, it's a, yeah, so we're trying to keep it dynamic, but we're also, there is continuity.

[00:01:44] We have kind of an overarching story that we're slowly building out where we are, yeah, it is the continuing adventures of this group and we're going to see where it ends up and

[00:01:59] we're going to have, we're going to laugh along the way, but maybe deal with some scary zombies here and there. I've noticed that you guys have some very distinct characters. Yes. Jenny, you haven't said anything yet. Tell me a little bit about your character.

[00:02:18] Well, her name is Elizabeth. She's a pediatric nurse. She has a lot of issues with regards to abandonment issues. She's concerned about finding love, finding a family, finding a place where she belongs. So she's very committed to these two people that she just randomly found in the hospital.

[00:02:45] I'm going to really miss her when I have to kill her at some point. That's so sad to think about. One of the twists for our show is that our characters can and most likely will die just like in an apocalyptic show, like The Walking Dead. Possibly.

[00:03:03] It's not guaranteed, but if it happens, it happens. We'll see where the improv takes us. But then are you going to just be gone? Are you going to play somebody else? If God forbid Elizabeth doesn't make it to the safe zone, then I'll just come back as

[00:03:19] somebody else. Okay. We'll have a new member of the party. Yeah. Hopefully my skills are good enough that I can come up with someone who's completely different from Elizabeth. Because right now she's a lot like me.

[00:03:34] I didn't want to ask, but I would imagine what scares me about improv is Freudian slips or little truthful things accidentally coming out because it's right in the spur of the moment. I will never do your show. No, I'm just kidding. Yeah.

[00:03:48] There's ways to situate yourself in the character. So improv is really character driven. It's not joke first. Penny's character smokes a lot of pot, I noticed. Yes, yes. They're very like... Once you know your character, whatever happens from that character makes sense. So it's not about plot.

[00:04:08] It's not about the jokes. It's not about that so much as it is about the three characters and how they interact with each other and the people they meet on the road. And the things that happen around them happen because we know who these people are pretty well.

[00:04:25] So I guess that... does that make sense? You're very much in the improv school of things, right? Yes. Yes. Very cool. Jenny's our resident expert. He's the most experienced improviser. But I will say, Rob, what you bring to the group is your vast and broad knowledge of

[00:04:48] how role playing games work. Because Rob has developed for us like a Bible where he tracks like, these are the skills that you have had, because we say things in the moment. And so Rob is actually keeping tracks to keep that continuity.

[00:05:02] So we actually have a world Bible that it's like, how long we've been traveling? What items have we picked up? How are we feeling? Based on stuff that's happened to us? Yeah. I mean, I also love your character, Rob, Angry Adam. Angry Adam. He is...

[00:05:21] Kick ass character ever. Oh, he's so fun. It's just Angry Adam is... There's definitely like, I... Yeah, you are going to have for an improv character, you're gonna have a piece of yourself in there.

[00:05:36] It's kind of hard to avoid, like when you're just kind of firing off the cuff. But Angry Adam is like, it's just like a much more unhinged, but also childish version of myself. Where it's like, Angry Adam is he is like the biggest badass of all time.

[00:05:56] But he also in a lot of ways has the sensibilities of an eight year old boy. For sure. He doesn't seem that angry to me, to be honest. He just... Well, you know. He wants to look cool. He's angry and the world has gone mad. Angry, perhaps.

[00:06:16] You're constantly kicking down doors too. I'm taking out all of like the anger. It's getting unleashed on the doors. And Randy, you may have heard of Randy's character because she's called into the show a couple of times, Margaret. Which makes me wonder how long Margaret has been around.

[00:06:39] I always assumed, I guess I assumed that Margaret was created for this show. But now I question that. She... I literally... So, yes, Margaret was created when I called in to crit... Not criticize, critique your show.

[00:06:56] And I was thinking of doing a character that was just like rude Randy and just calling in and... But it just, it seemed mean spirited. So at some point just on my own... I might just think it was Randy. Yeah, exactly.

[00:07:09] And then I'd have to talk about regular Randy. But yeah, at some point I think I was in my car and I just started doing like a proper British old lady. And that ended up being the character that I called you guys as.

[00:07:25] And then in thinking about this show, I was like, oh, you know, it'd be funny if I just continued being an old lady in the apocalypse. And that is sort of just where I have ended up, which is funny, I guess. I mean, it just seems right now.

[00:07:44] It seems inevitable. I think one of the fun things with Margaret is she is an old lady and that can mean... We have no idea what exactly that means. She could be... She may be a Highlander. She may be... Or 60, we're not sure. She's just old.

[00:08:05] Yeah, one of the things that I enjoy doing this type of improv is that people listening know I am a young man. So there's that added layer of knowing that I don't necessarily know a whole lot about being an old lady.

[00:08:20] So there's this layer of like, does he think that's really how that works? You have an old soul. So we're good. You're about to hear not the first episode, but the second one. Welcome to the Apocalypse Episode Two, Robbie and the Work Fridge. It's its own podcast.

[00:08:41] So you can go to podcastica.com and there's links to all the platforms there, or you can just go wherever you get podcasts, search for Welcome to the Apocalypse. So you can go back and listen to number one.

[00:08:53] But for now, can you just give us a quick rundown in what happened in Episode One to get us ready for number two that we're about to hear? Yeah. So Episode One, we start, Margaret wakes up in the hospital and quickly runs into Angry

[00:09:12] Adam who appears to maybe be a zombie, but is just in a gummy worm induced coma. So she's recovering anyway. So they quickly join up and then we all kind of slowly come. Oh, yep. It's the apocalypse. We run out into the hospital hallway, run into Elizabeth.

[00:09:36] Who seems like she maybe has her shit a little bit more together than the two of us. Surprise, surprise. Yeah. She has a little bit of a plan and she's the one who then begins guiding us from there. Yeah.

[00:09:50] So yeah, we all meet up, kind of get to know each other a little bit. And then we fight our way out of the hospital with many foibles along the way. But we eventually get out and find ourselves the most effective and fuel efficient possible

[00:10:11] vehicle for the post apocalypse, a fire truck. And that's where Episode Two will start you out, us in the fire truck having just escaped to the hospital. Sweet. And there's a, you guys, are you going to have guests on every time or just sometimes see how it goes?

[00:10:31] We're going to have guests most of the time. Like the next episode that'll be coming out is just the three of us. Occasionally we'll cut back to just the three of us.

[00:10:43] But Episode Two is a good example of the feel of the show where we run into another person who's played by a guest and hilarity ensues, obviously. And that, can I say who it is? Yeah. Yeah.

[00:11:00] So the guest for Episode Two that you're about to hear is Greg, who if you've listened to Podcastica, you might've heard him. Well, he came on with Lucy and I to talk about Kingdom, that Korean zombie series. It was awesome. And he did also Extraordinary and She-Hulk and...

[00:11:16] The Wheel of Time. The Wheel of Time. Yeah, yeah. And I didn't even recognize him at first. Like, who's that? He did a very good... I'm from New England. He did a very good New England accent. Nice. Sweet. So I think that's a good primer.

[00:11:33] Everybody, here you go. Welcome to the Apocalypse. Enjoy. Previously on Welcome to the Apocalypse. I'm a nurse. My name is Elizabeth. I didn't think there was anyone else left in the hospital. Just woke up, my dear. You shot that man. Can you call that a man?

[00:11:44] Skin's all gray. I don't know if you've ever heard about zombies. Yeah, things have gone a little topsy-turvy, sideways, upside down pretty bad. Maybe this is our chance to get what we really wanted in life. Do the kick moves. I'd be glad to do it.

[00:11:50] Maybe we need a fire truck. Do either of you have any Band-Aids? One of those ghouls seems to be a little too much. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure.

[00:12:01] I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure.

[00:13:19] Elizabeth, are you leaving me? Margaret, Margaret, I'm going to go up and talk to Angry Adam for a little bit. How are you doing? How's your wound? Is it okay? Can I see? Here. It's got a lot of blood coming out of it. It does. Is this bad?

[00:13:33] You both seem very worried about this. Well... Oh, me? I'm not worried at all. Margaret, just hold this. Just keep holding the pressure. Keep the pressure. Just keep the pressure. Just keep the pressure. Just keep the pressure. Just keep the pressure. Just keep the pressure.

[00:13:45] Just keep the pressure. Just keep the pressure. Just keep the pressure. Keep the pressure on it with the bandages that I gave you and I'm just going to go talk to Adam at the front, okay? Okay.

[00:13:54] Well, while you're up there, could you ask him to turn the siren on for just a moment? Of course. Okay. Thank you. Oh, hell yeah. You didn't need to ask me twice. You could have and I would have done it again. Okay, Adam, what's up?

[00:14:11] What's with the huddle? What do you want to talk about? The situation? Listen, Margaret has been bitten. Yeah. God, I mean, does that mean it's going to become one of them? Well, I mean, I think so. Shit. Well, I mean, we don't know how it works.

[00:14:32] Maybe, listen, I have an idea. Okay. I'm going to ask Margaret some questions. Okay. Hey, Margaret. Yes? Hey, Margaret, you feeling hungry? No. You haven't eaten in a while, right? Yeah, actually I am kind of hungry. All right, I'm going to list some foods.

[00:14:52] Okay, got to name the one that's the most appealing to you. Okay. A tuna sandwich? A Werther's Original? Ooh. Or Brain's Casserole, perhaps? Human flesh, per chance? Angry Adam. Does that seem appetizing to you? Are those French dishes? They sound very exotic. Brain's lasagna? That's not good.

[00:15:19] That's not good. That's a... All right, next question. Okay. All right, Margaret, I want you to stick your arms out in front of you. Okay, like this? Like that? Okay, does that feel natural and comfortable to you? Like this is kind of the way they should be?

[00:15:34] One of them's bleeding. It kind of hurts to keep it up, my dear, but... All right, I guess the... I guess I could do this for another moment. That's a plus. All right, now how... Describe the level of desire to groan and grumble. To shamble around.

[00:15:52] Well, the way you're driving... You're not even looking forward, my dear. Yeah, I'm asking you questions. I can't, you know, I've got to focus on what's important. Look out, there are a couple of those... Oh, that may have been a survivor. Oh, yes, look, an orange backpack.

[00:16:11] Well, anyways... Okay, look, Adam, I'm not... Elizabeth, my questioning has been inconclusive. Yeah, no kidding. Um, I think honestly we're going to have to cut her arm off. Shit. Um... Yeah! Guys? You know what?

[00:16:30] I just wanted to let you know you've had the loudspeaker on this whole time. And I'm a little worried you might... Okay. You might be talking about cutting off one of my arms. Margaret, Margaret, look, we've been around this a lot longer than you,

[00:16:45] and I am a trained nurse. I mean, yeah, pediatrics, but... An adult woman's arm is just a baby's arm, but bigger. How many baby's arms have you removed? Just four. Oh, Elizabeth, we're going to have to talk about that when this situation's over.

[00:17:01] I mean, okay, so I think what we need to do is maybe find a hardware store. Or actually, there's an axe on this vehicle. We're definitely going to have to... An axe is like a surgical implement. Yeah. We'll need to stop moving. Alright, alright.

[00:17:17] Okay, again, I'm wrapping my mind around the two of you chopping my arm off. And I'm pulling over now. It's okay. You can start wrapping quick, Margaret. Wait, so if you cut my arm off, I won't become a ghoul? No, no, you'll be fine. We think, we hope.

[00:17:34] You think? Listen, if I was a batman, I'd put it on cutting off arm. Yeah, let's cut off your arm. It's just, it's that or sure death. You know what?

[00:17:46] I did say I was going to look at this apocalypse different, so I'm going to be positive about this. Yeah, look at the bright side. Yeah. And, um, Elizabeth, could you come here? Yeah, what's up? I want you to do it. Yeah, of course I will.

[00:18:02] Okay, it's just angry Adam really seems more like a gun guy than a sword or an axe or a knife guy. Yeah. Twirl it around, do some cool axe tricks in the background.

[00:18:15] Oh, I'm sure he has, I'm sure he has some sort of samurai sword in the basement of his mother's house. But anyway, um, okay, Margaret, are you ready? Yes. Okay, we've pulled over. Adam, I'm, Adam, I'm gonna need you. Yeah, yeah.

[00:18:30] I'm gonna need you to come over here and- You need me to chop off the arm? No, I need you to hold her legs down. Oh man. Wait, what? You're gonna- And then- What's- who is that? What? Hey, hey guys.

[00:18:46] Hey, hey guys, what are you doing with that giant ass axe? Seriously. Oh sir, we're in the middle of a- This is a delicate and emotionally complex situation. Yeah, we have to cut off our friend Margaret's arm.

[00:19:02] Look, I want to get to know you and find out your story, but could you just come in here and hold her other arm down for me? I'm sorry, are you a psycho? No, I'm a nurse. Oh, oh well in that case, uh, you said which arm?

[00:19:13] Was it her left? Her right? Her leg? Which one? Come in and hold her right arm down please. Right, okay. Hey, oh, those are quite some biceps you got there, miss. I know, she is so athletic.

[00:19:27] Oh, thank you. I'm sorry, I didn't catch your name, large brute who has just come in here to hold my arm down while it's being cut off. Oh, my name's Robbie. It's so good to meet you. What's your name? Huh? What's that- wait, are you bit here?

[00:19:41] I'm holding a bit arm? Now slow, now hey, hey, hey, slow, slow down. Okay, here I go. Okay, okay, okay, wait, let me- One, two, three! Oh my god, the blood's everywhere! Jesus Christ!

[00:19:58] Okay, quick, Adam, Adam, Adam, I need you to get me a- give me some flame. I need to cauterize the wound. Flame, got it. I have a little baby flamethrower here. Okay, awesome. You want to cauterize the- the arm? Yeah, we're cauterizing the wound.

[00:20:14] Right, well do you want me to just- do you want me to hold this up or like to hold it to burn it or- Oh, you mean on her! On her, sorry. Yeah, my bad. Throw it outside. Throw the arm fragment outside and we're gonna cauterize.

[00:20:29] Margaret, are you ready? Here we go. Yes, I just- I want to apologize to Robbie for how much blood I got on him. I'm so sorry, sir. Nah, I mean, no big deal. I guess it's better you than me. Okay. Under the circumstances, it was understandable.

[00:20:47] I guess I'm ready to embrace this new world. Margaret, you're such an inspiration. Thank you. Yeah, Margaret, that's pretty cool. Having one arm. Listen, if I could like lose my leg in some kind of cool accident and then get like a cool robot leg, oh, I'd be living.

[00:21:08] That'd be the good shit. Will I get a cool robot arm after this? Yeah, yeah, we'll work on that, Margaret. For the moment though, before he burns the crap out of your stump, here, put my belt in your mouth. It's probably gonna hurt quite a bit.

[00:21:26] Oh, what? It's so dirty. Why is it so dirty? So- there's so much oil on this belt. I mean, I'm- You diving in an oil well? Okay, is this because we need to cauterize? What? Well, we've already cut the arm off. Yeah, I am losing-

[00:21:44] Right, I'm just waiting for- she- yeah, okay, go ahead. No, go- don't fobby it from me to delay the cauterization at all. Okay, okay, so put the belt in your mouth and I'm gonna cauterize the wound. Here we go. Okay, kids, remember, the letter for today is O.

[00:22:11] Whoa! Welcome to the Apocalypse, we'll be back after these messages. Today's letter O is for Oh My God, Are They Really Gonna Cut That Woman's Arm Off on this Comedy Podcast? And we're back to the show. Oh, oh, oh, oh, ow! Okay! Oh, Robbie's vomiting. Sorry about that.

[00:22:41] Can the two of you make sure Robbie's okay after my arm was cauterized? Yeah, I'll go check on him and I'm gonna- I'm gonna actually- I'm gonna scoop up this arm and squirrel it away. Okay. Don't worry about that. Yeah, hey Robbie, how you doing over there?

[00:23:01] I mean, I'm not- not too big on blood. I used to be a football player, so I mean, like, we didn't see blood all the time. All we did is- I mean, we got head injuries, but not really like- Yeah, you did- Cut off arm injuries.

[00:23:13] You did- you did kinda- you did kinda waltz into a bit of an emotional climax. Yeah, I- Uh, so I can understand. I know, I appreciate you guys being so supportive. I heard you were talking about baseball bats. I too am enthusiastic about hitting things with bats.

[00:23:28] Oh, hey! We should totally hang out. You like hitting stuff, I like hitting stuff. Oh my god. I mean, this is- this sounds like a match made on the gridiron. Oh, hell yeah. So where- where you guys- where you guys going?

[00:23:40] Well, we just escaped from a hospital about half an hour ago and on our way out Margaret got bitten, so we were really just sort of driving aimlessly trying to figure out what to do.

[00:23:51] And now we've cut our arm off, so I think now we need a plan. Robbie, where have you been coming- where are you coming from? Do you have like a group or a place you're hiding?

[00:24:01] No, actually I- I was- I was part of a security agency after I retired a couple years back. Basically I just- I went to work one day and they had all this stuff on the news. Nobody- nobody called, so I just- I stayed at work.

[00:24:16] We got a nice fridge over there. Uh, we have some- some snacks. Uh, we got some yogurt. I really had to kinda slim down a little bit. I mean, you have no idea what years of abuse will do to your body.

[00:24:27] But, uh, yeah, so- so I just, uh, been taking my bat and I've been practicing my baseball swing. I didn't play baseball per se, but that was like my- my second sport back when I was, I'll just say enrolled in college.

[00:24:39] And, uh, and so yeah, I've had actually quite a pretty good time, uh, just knocking the crap out of these pieces of shit that is just wandering around the- wandering around. Don't get me wrong. I- I get it. The dead, I guess.

[00:24:54] I mean, it's only been like, what, three days, I think? Um, but, uh, it's- it's been a good time. Yeah, you, uh, you must have really been going crazy on that- on that, uh, work fridge that, uh, oh man. Listen, I can empathize.

[00:25:07] I too have recently had some gummy worm induced coma, so I kinda- I- Oh yeah, I mean, the- the gummy worms were pretty good, yeah. Yeah, you get the gummy gut, right? Yeah, oh no, I getcha, I getcha. So- So, plan, right?

[00:25:21] You- you guys wanna- you guys wanna go somewhere, but you got this big ass fire truck and this lady with one arm. Okay, so, ideas. Ideas, right? So like, what would you- what- where should we go? Robbie? Period. That's pretty much the end of the question.

[00:25:39] I- I don't mean to be a drama queen, and I- I love seeing all of you having a good time, but could I get like an ibuprofen or something to help with the immense amount of pain that I'm currently in?

[00:25:54] I- I have a- I have a Flintstone gummy vitamin. Is that, uh, how does that do ya? Those are actually- wait, do you have Bonnie? Because Bonnie's my favorite. It tastes like fuckin' peach, man. Oh yeah, I got Bonnie.

[00:26:06] I'll take one of those, but I have this- I have this like- this liquid stuff. I like Fred, that's my favorite. My- uh, Fred and Bonnie, that's what I'm talking about. Elizabeth, could I- could I talk to you in the back of the truck for a moment?

[00:26:17] Of course. Why don't you guys go out front and um, practice with your baseball bat and axe? Hey yeah, I found this van over here, you wanna go smash some windows? Hell yeah. Oh right, yeah. Alright Margaret. What, am I taking a jump in some bag?

[00:26:34] Here Margaret, I've- okay Margaret, I've got some um, I actually have some antibiotics here I'm gonna give you. Oh thank goodness. As well as uh, whatever pain medication that Robbie guy had.

[00:26:44] I don't- that just sort of looked like a container of Welch's grape juice, I'm not sure what that was. Yeah, you just- just take my- my uh, my antibiotics and you're gonna be okay. So- so what's going on?

[00:26:57] Um, well, I woke up a couple hours ago and turns out I'm in the apocalypse and then I met a couple of people and you cut my arm off. Um. Yeah? So, it's been a day. It has. It has. Yeah, how- how are you holding up my dear?

[00:27:15] Oh, well, I'm okay, I'm not sure how I feel about this Robbie guy, like, you know I'm not- I'm used to you and Adam and you're my chosen family and I-

[00:27:25] I mean your family you're allowed to choose and I don't know that I'd choose Robbie, he seems, well, not like us. Well. He's- He does seem physically imposing, which- I think that's what I mean, you, me and Adam we're just all so scrawny. Hey, hold on.

[00:27:43] I know that was sort of an aside but I heard the word scrawny attached to my name and that just kind of set some alarm bells off. You have a robust personality, Adam. Yeah, I'm robust. Now go outside and smash some heads.

[00:27:57] Oh yeah, that's what I was doing.

[00:27:59] So, so Margaret I- but again I hesitate to judge anyone, I- you know, everyone's on their own journey and I don't want to cast anyone out but maybe we should get to know this guy a bit better and see maybe he has some ideas for where we can go next.

[00:28:14] That's a good idea. Perhaps he has a place he's holed up where we could at least get a couple of snacks? I haven't eaten in weeks, I think. Yeah, he did talk about the work fridge. Oh, yes. Let's see if he'll take us to the work fridge. Okay.

[00:28:33] Hey Robbie! Yo, what's up? Smash! That's what I'm talking about. Ehhh. Where's your- where's the work fridge? Is there anything left? Uh, yeah, I think it's only the probiotic yogurt though. I think that's what Susan had before, uh, before she like didn't come into work for a while.

[00:28:53] Yeah, come on, it's right around the corner over here. Great! Probiotic yogurt is going to be really helpful for, um, for balancing out Margaret's gut flora. So let's go! Um, Angry Adam? Yeah? Could you carry me? Okay, hop on. All aboard the Angry Adam Express. Here we go.

[00:29:15] Chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga chugga No one scrawny could do this, Adam. Exactly. Yes, your pecs have great personality. They're my- they're the most verbose of all of my body parts.

[00:29:27] Alright, so, yeah, right over here, right, yeah, this little door right here. Unfortunately you have to jiggle the handle a little bit, but, and you have to like put your foot down at the bottom. Hey, hey, hey, hey, Robbie, Robbie. What's up?

[00:29:42] Robbie, I, uh, you know, I, I, uh, I have some feelings about door handles and, uh, I don't respect them, I don't acknowledge them, and I am in fact distracting you because I'm kicking down the door. That was impressive. And there it is. Door gone.

[00:30:00] Wall holding me so strong. Alright, so yeah, right, right, right in here, here's my office and right here's my fridge. Now you can see by all of the magnets on the fridge all of the places that I really enjoyed going in my youth.

[00:30:17] So one's over here in St. Louis with the arches and one's over here in Branson. I don't know what the hell was in Branson, but, uh, you know, I had a good time. Uh, and then, oh, here's one in Vegas. Vegas was like my favorite place to go.

[00:30:34] Maybe I should go back to Vegas because, because like right now maybe all those assholes who beat me up before I, before I had to leave last time, maybe I could go back there and, and, and take care of them or maybe the dead.

[00:30:52] Oh, oh Robbie, that's, that's, I'm sorry you were beaten up in Las Vegas. Usually people go there and have a good time. It always starts as a good time. Not suspicious at all. Okay, I'm gonna, I'm gonna get the yogurt out for all of us.

[00:31:07] Um, here's a spoon and here's some yogurt for everyone. Margaret, make sure you eat this all up. Do they have a raspberry? Hey, hey, Elizabeth and Angry Adam. Yeah? That, that fridge isn't plugged in. All of this, I think all of this dairy product is expired. Oh God.

[00:31:27] Look at this. There's mold in here. Robbie? Yes? Have you been eating this purple yogurt? Well, I mean, yeah, it's yogurt. They, they told me it was good for you and it tastes good. And like, I'll tell you what, what was your name?

[00:31:45] Elizabeth? Elizabeth, you talked about the probiotics being good for her shits. I mean, I've been shitting everywhere. Been very regular. No issues whatsoever letting it go. That's what that smell is. Yeah, alright. Yeah, okay. Yeah, starting to put some things together.

[00:32:03] Maybe we should get back to the truck, you guys. Oh yeah, we should definitely get back to the truck. Well, Robbie, do you have any cool things in here you would like to show us? Like a toy or anything in the back room?

[00:32:22] Margaret, is that you, like a euphemism? Toys not so much. However, I do have this limited edition Walking Dead. Like Walking Dead, like it's almost like it's come to life. You know what I mean? It's a number 17 issue.

[00:32:40] Let me just reach into my cupboard here and I'll grab it. I got it under lock and key. So you guys, actually, you guys step outside and I'll unlock it and then that way I'll be safe from you guys. I mean, that way we're good, right?

[00:32:57] Alright, so you guys step outside and I'll be out in just a second. Okay, let's head back out. Well, I'm not sure. I just want to like hang around outside. Let's go back into the truck.

[00:33:13] Yeah, I'm not surprised he's a comic book guy, you know, not at all. Hey, did you guys notice that the cabinet he was opening said armory? No, it did. Did you catch the fact that he was worried he wasn't safe with us? Yeah, that was weird.

[00:33:34] We're very harmless. Yeah, we're the most mentally stable people I've seen so far. Yeah. There's also absolutely no ghouls around here. That is weird. Just mysteries upon mysteries. I don't know that we have time to solve them all.

[00:33:50] Well, what if we opened a little detective agency right across the street from him? I mean, we could solve all of his mysteries and then the rest of the world's mysteries. Margaret, do you have a fever? Is this a fever dream? Oh, boy. Yes.

[00:34:06] I was just going to ask you why your head was now three times larger than it used to be and why Angry Adam's snake tattoos are dripping out of his pants. I'm thinking I have a fever. Oh, those are actually...

[00:34:22] I dropped some gummy worms in the inside lining of my pants. Yeah, I need to shake them out. That's what that is. Okay, Margaret, I need you to lie down, okay? I'm going to let you lie down, let the antibiotics do their trick. And, um, I don't know.

[00:34:37] I feel like we should probably get a move on, guys. Robbie seems kind of like a weirdo. Hey, guys. Hey, guys. I didn't... Okay, I couldn't find the comic book, but I got this bat. This really, really nice bat. But unfortunately, I gotta go shit.

[00:34:55] So give me just a minute and I will also... I also have some of this... Some of that woman's blood from the arm got in my eye. So let me just go wash that out, drop a couple deuces, and I'll be right out to share with you guys

[00:35:12] what it is that I'm going to give you guys. Okay. Okay, Robbie. We'll be right here in the truck while you're... Oh my God! Oh no, he didn't even make it inside. Oh no. It's right on the sidewalk. Oh no. I'm okay. Yeah, yeah, you look okay. Jeez.

[00:35:35] He looks pretty pale. I wish he'd hurry up and give us the thing he's gonna give us. Yeah, I'm definitely gonna let you guys have it. I'm very excited to see what it is, although also quite nervous. I hope he washes his hands first.

[00:35:49] My hands are not the issue. I did want to give you guys this limited edition snow globe. Huh. Because we are right here. Right here in this tiny little town of Buena Vista, Pennsylvania. Wait, where... And this is... Are we in...

[00:36:08] I don't think we're in Buena Vista, Pennsylvania. God, like, hold on. Wait a minute. Wait, wait, are you sure? Are you sure? Well, my dear, where... Where the fuck am I? My dear, where are you? Oh my God! Who the fuck are you people?

[00:36:22] Get the fuck out of my house! Uh-oh. Oh no, the yogurt. Yogurt's gotten to his brain. Quick, he's coming at us with the bat. Everybody climb in. Get the fuck out of here, you pieces of shit! He's gonna hit me with a snow globe. Angry Adam Bond.

[00:36:36] I'm hitting the gas. Elizabeth, I wanted to be the one to do this, but I need you to get in the fire hose. Okay. Oh boy. Okay, I've got the fire hose. Blast him. Just clean his butt good. Okay, here I go. Boom! Oh, what a powerful hose.

[00:36:56] That was fun. Boom. Oh wow. I'm really... I'm not happy. I really wanted to be the one to do the hose, but under the circumstances, I can forgive you for taking that honor from me. Adam, you've gotten to drive, you've gotten to do the siren. It's the least...

[00:37:12] All I got to do was cut off Margaret's arm. At least, you know, you could let me have the hose without complaining about it. Alright. Let me grumble. Hey guys. Yeah? Look at this! I managed to steal that comic book from Robbie. Oh, that's great.

[00:37:28] Every apocalypse story needs people reading comic books. What's it say? Um... Oh. This is a playboy. Oh. Oh. He has some of the articles circled. He's really trying to give the impression he read the articles. I mean, hey, there's some good articles in there.

[00:37:49] I think we're going to have to be careful going forward with what people we interact with. Yeah. That situation turned around quickly. Yeah. That's coming from a woman whose friends just cut her arm off. Well, we just did it to save your life, Margaret.

[00:38:04] Love looks different in different circumstances. Very true. That's... That's beautiful. And you know what? I'm feeling better now too. What? Really? Those antibiotics must have been very powerful. I think it was probably the Flintstones gummies. Or the friends we made along the way. Nope, nope.

[00:38:24] I still have a fever. So, uh, where are we going now? I think we should get out of this town. Yeah. What is that on the side of the road? It says, Disease Testing Laboratory? What? Hmm. Uh, yeah, uh, I don't know.

[00:38:44] Something about this is sort of calling. Well, we need a destination. Where does it say it is? Oh, it's literally a sign on the side of the road. You know, it's like a big, big iron fence. Oh, it's like it's right there. Yeah, no, it's literally right.

[00:38:59] Guys, I'm being very immediate right now. Oh! There's not a sign on the side of the highway that says, In five miles, here's the virus testing laboratory. I don't know how I missed the giant building. I just, oh man. Yeah, we got a lot going on.

[00:39:13] It's been a hell of a day. It certainly has. Perhaps we should go in there and see if I have any diseases now. Oh, that's a good idea. All right. Let's move in, gang. Well, you know what? Actually, hold on a second.

[00:39:27] Oh, I wanted, I really wanted to save that. Oh, can you save it for tomorrow? Right now, I think we all need some rest. Yeah, I think it's time for nappies. And we'll check the truck for snacks. Now that we're out of the city,

[00:39:38] and give Margaret some more medication. And then when we wake up in the morning, we'll feel refreshed and we'll go inside this disease testing building and see if they have a cure or if Margaret has a disease or maybe there'll be a work fridge. A world of possibilities.

[00:39:52] I got really excited about the work fridge. I'm real disappointed about that. I know. All right, everyone tuck in. Oh, goo! Oh, goo! These are my sleeping sounds. Good night, everyone. Good night! I'm Jenny. And I'm Randy. And I'm Rump.
