[00:00:00] 3. Margaret has been bitten. I think honestly we're gonna have to cut her arm off. My name's Robbie, so good to meet you! What are you doing with that giant ass axe? 2. 3. Oh my god, the blood's everywhere! Hey Robbie, where's the work fridge? Is there anything left?
[00:00:26] Uh, yeah, I think it's only the probiotic yogurt though. All of this, I think all of this dairy product is expired. Who the fuck are you people? Get the fuck out of my house! Oh no, the yogurt. Yogurt's got in his brain. Okay, I've got the fire hose.
[00:00:40] I think we're gonna have to be careful going forward with what people we interact with. Me, me, me, me, me, me. Oh man. Me, me, me, me. What a night! I'm feeling some big stretch. Yes, I'm feeling fairly well rested. Are you? You're feeling okay? Yeah.
[00:01:07] I'm just gonna feel you for your fever, Margaret. Are you um... Well, you know, I am hearing something. A lot of banging actually. Oh yeah. Yeah, that's just the zombies outside the truck. It's the zombies, Margaret, remember? The what? What? What? Oh okay, right, right.
[00:01:28] We're in the apocalypse. Yeah. I'm just going to re... Oh no. Re-calibrate. Are we gonna need to remind you of this every, every day, Margaret? No, no. It's gonna be a 50 first date situation. You know, I never saw that movie. Was it any good? Uh, it's an uh...
[00:01:47] I never saw it either. I just like the cultural reference point. It makes me seem cultured. No, okay. Um... You know what? I think... I'm just gonna write some stuff down in a notebook. You guys... Gonna check it every morning. You guys, I just... Like a dream journal.
[00:02:04] I need to be paid attention to. This is if we're gonna be on this journey together. It's really important that you know this about me. I really need time every morning to make a declarative statement about my goals for the day.
[00:02:14] And I really want you guys to listen because I'm hoping we can do it together as a group. So, um... What I... Actually, it's a whole hands. Um, Margaret... No, I'll need your other hand. Yeah, there's no hand there. I'll just do one hand. Yeah, okay.
[00:02:28] So I think what we need to do today is we need to get our shit together. Okay? We need to figure out what's going on out there. Now, if you recall, Margaret, we parked our fire truck outside of this facility that angry Adam found.
[00:02:43] Um, it's some kind of virus testing facility. So we're... Yeah, I mean, let me read that sign again. I think it says Lewiston Disease Testing Laboratory. Okay. So we're gonna head in there. I should do the talking because I am the medical professional amongst us.
[00:03:00] And, um, we're going to get in there. We're gonna see if there's any food. That's our priority. We need some food. We're gonna see if there's any medication and then we're gonna figure out if they have any inside knowledge as to what's going on out there.
[00:03:12] But first, we're gonna need to deal with the zombies. Okay. Oh, I'm all about dealing with zombies. I like your get up and go attitude. Haven't even had a morning pee and you're already getting us out the door.
[00:03:29] Well, sometimes my nursing instinct's kicking and I am a take charge kind of gal. Can I make a declarative statement? Sure. What's your statement? I will kick ass today. Oh, that's good. It will be very cool to anyone who sees it.
[00:03:48] They will like me and think more of me for it. That's true. Yeah. Okay. Margaret, do you have a statement? Um, today I'm keeping my other arm. Oh, good. I like that. Yeah, that would, you should probably hang on to that one. That seems important. Okay. All right.
[00:04:10] So how do we deal with this? I don't know, Adam, do you seem to have the best instinct for this stuff? How do we get past the door? I'm looking at the window and I see maybe four or five of these guys. All right. Here's the plan.
[00:04:24] Get one of these here. Oxygen tanks. Throw it out the window. And then in midair, the shoe. It's going to explode. Knocking out the zombies. That's amazing. So, I watched a Mythbusters episode once where they tried to do this. Oh, Margaret. It didn't work.
[00:04:46] Listen, I watched the documentary film Fast and the Furious and I'm pretty sure it worked in that so... Look, even if it doesn't work, it's going to be a distraction and hopefully they'll run over there. So let's put all our faith in this. Okay.
[00:05:00] I always have all my faith in me. All right. Let me grab it. And all right, I've got to get in the zone. I'm killing zombies. I'm killing zombies. It's cool. And I throw it out the window and aim fire. Whoa! I'm sorry, angry Adam. It did work.
[00:05:22] Maybe the Mythbusters episode was just to dissuade the youth from following along and trying it themselves. Mythbusters hates fun. Let's get in there. All right. Hurry. I grabbed some flashlight. Eat you well, you guys. Okay. Okay. I've secured the door. I've secured the door. Should we knock?
[00:05:42] Well, we're inside. Oh, wow. We did that very quickly. Wait, you guys... Okay, you didn't let me kick in the door. Hey, wait, what's that? Did you guys blow something up outside? What? Hello? Hey, maybe. Adam, shine your flashlight over there. There's a voice coming from the darkness.
[00:06:03] Oh, hey. Hi. Hey, how's it going? I haven't seen other people in a couple of days. This is cool. Like, hey, come on in you guys. Welcome. Just a minute. I want to establish a bit of information before we advance into the darkness.
[00:06:20] There's windows in the back so there's light back there. Okay, what's your name? Kate. My name is Kate. And Kate are you? Dr. Kate. Dr. Kate. Oh, a doctor. Oh, one of those doctors who uses her first name. Do you work here? Did you work here?
[00:06:37] I volunteered here part-time. You know, I work for a pharmaceutical company usually, but I used to come here and do volunteer work, like community service. And when everything went crazy, I thought that maybe this would be a good place to hide out.
[00:06:55] Is there anybody here with you or is it just you? It's just me. Are you just sitting in the gloom recreationally? I mean, yeah, it's not so bad. I have like some board games and stuff and I just pretend I'm two people so I can play. And, um...
[00:07:15] Okay, just a minute Kate. I'm going to talk to my friends for a second. Okay guys, things with Robbie got a little nuts yesterday. Do we do this? Do we? I mean, outside doesn't seem to be... What do you think?
[00:07:30] I think she seems perfectly sane and very normal. Okay, I don't smell yogurt and that seems like a good... Kind of smell something else. Yeah. You guys smell that? Yeah. It's a little musky. Yeah, that's Adam. That's weed. Oh, I knew what that is.
[00:07:51] Well, you sounded like you didn't. I know all about weed and all kinds of stuff like that. Yeah, it's marijuana. Adam, you've done a marijuana stick? I do marijuana sticks all the time. Wow, Elizabeth... Yes? I do think he might be pretty cool actually.
[00:08:13] Yeah, yeah, it's legal in a lot of places now so I don't know if it's really cool anymore. Right, right. Oh, alright, then maybe I don't do marijuana sticks. I don't know.
[00:08:23] I think it means that even if she is dangerous her movements will be slow and so we can probably take her. So I think we should go in. I agree. I'm already walking slower. Okay. I agree, Adam. He's impressionable. Hey, Kate, we're coming.
[00:08:41] Can you lead us to the window so we can see? Yeah, and see down this really long hallway. Just like what I do is I run my hand along the wall so that I don't walk into a door or something. Okay.
[00:08:53] And then at the end of the hall there's a door and the room behind that has windows. So you'll be able to see once we get there. Just follow me, it's a straight line. Okay. I don't need to run my hand on the wall. I'll be fine.
[00:09:06] Okay, watch out for things like there's fire extinguisher stuff. Oh shit, oh no! No, nobody saw that. No. It's dark. Oh, I'm fine. Yeah, that's why the wall thing, but that's okay. We're almost down the... this is a very long hallway. So long. Yeah, it really is.
[00:09:25] All these rooms on the side that are locked right now are like labs and stuff and they're high security so I haven't found the keys to those yet. Okay, well let's maybe... Adam, can you run and kick the door down and then we'll be there?
[00:09:40] Oh, I'm already on the way and I'm running... Oh, Adam. I refuse to use the wall as a guide. I got this. Adam, you're being stubborn. Just join the wall with us. The door's not locked, you don't have to break it down.
[00:09:55] It's too late, I'm kicking it down. Hopefully that wasn't a defensive measure. Yeah, hopefully it won't need to be. Well, we're here. Um, hey are you guys like hungry? I have a bunch of food. I've been scavenging local businesses. Yeah, so hungry.
[00:10:17] So I got this place up the street called Green Goddess. I thought it was like a fruit stand or something or like vegetable market but all they had was like candy and weed. So I have a whole bunch of chocolate and gummy candies. I would try some chocolate.
[00:10:37] Oh, I love gummy candy. And then there was like, I went to the convenience store and I cleaned out their potato chips section so all of those are over there on the other side. There's a bunch of bags of potato chips and also snowballs.
[00:10:52] Something tells me you got some funyons. Yeah, I think they're in the mix. I don't know what it is but I think they're in there. There's gotta be some funyons here. Well, it's not very nutritious but we'll take what we can get. Come on everyone.
[00:11:03] This is a certified cornucopia of a banquet we have here. We're not eating much in the last day. Kate, can I talk to you professional medical person to professional medical person? Oh, are you a doctor? Well, I'm a nurse actually. I'm a pediatric nurse. Oh, excellent.
[00:11:21] Yeah, let's con fab. Okay, so here's the thing. Our friend Margaret, I know she seems like totally fine but yesterday she was bitten by a zombie in the arm and that's why she only has that one arm and her clothing is
[00:11:36] so soaked with blood, crusted over blood and her wound was cauterized. So we will need to at some point see if you have any cleaning supplies. Oh yeah, I do. But I'm not 100% confident that cutting off her arm because I did see a MythBusters episode
[00:11:53] about cutting off limbs to prevent disease spreading and it's not always like actually true. So do you think there's any way we can, like were you testing for any new viruses when the world fell apart? Like when these zombies came or maybe we're testing for that?
[00:12:12] I've been working on a test for it. Oh. I don't know if it works because you guys are the first people I've run into and I haven't had somebody who's been bitten to test it on. Well, I think we should test Margaret. That's a fantastic idea.
[00:12:26] Also, do you have the arm? I'd like to test the arm as well. Oh, I... Oh yeah, no I got it. Excellent. Yeah, no. I've been using it as a back scratcher. What? Angry Adam, how dare you! No, it's really tough to get down there.
[00:12:42] That's my own young man. Yeah, not anymore. It does have a really nice manicure so... Oh thank you Elizabeth. Yeah, no it really is. It's good for getting in. I got some dead skin back. Okay, so we do have the arms.
[00:12:54] So Kate, do you want to just like, I don't know while we have our snacks, can you just like do the test? Yeah. Margaret, why don't you come with me? The lab is just on the other side of this door here. Okay.
[00:13:07] And I can take some of your blood and just, you know, check how you're doing. I really should check all of you but let's do Margaret first because it seems like she's in need. Margaret, when did this... When did you get bitten? How long ago? Maybe 12 hours? Okay.
[00:13:23] I've only been awake for less than 24 I think. You've only been awake for 24 hours? What? You were... I was in a coma for quite a while. Wait, is this some kind of Benjamin Button situation? That's fascinating! Yes, I am fascinating but I'll follow you stranger.
[00:13:40] Let's go into the other room. Okay, while you're doing that I'm going to talk to Adam about his dropping of very outdated cultural references. Good, somebody should. Okay. Wow, there's a lot of very high tech equipment in here. Is that a computer? It is a computer!
[00:14:02] Have you not seen many before? Sometimes. Okay, Margaret why don't you have a seat here and let me get some rubbing alcohol and clean off your arm here so I can take a blood sample. Okay, here look. Look at that. How's that look? That looks actually pretty healthy.
[00:14:27] 12 hours ago you said? Yes, I was bitten and then they cut it off. This is interesting. My friends set my arm on fire and it's all melty now. Yeah, it doesn't look too pretty but I think they might have saved your life. Oh thank goodness.
[00:14:44] How long will this test take? Just about 45 minutes or so. I'm going to stick it in this machine here, it spins it around. It's going to make a lot of noise.
[00:14:54] Alright, so I'll just put your blood in here and it spins it around and then I have to look at it under a microscope after the spinning part is done.
[00:15:00] But you know I have some hospital scrubs in a cabinet over there if you want to change your clothes because you're kind of a mess. Yeah, that looks like it. I really recommend you have some of that chocolate that the others are eating.
[00:15:17] I think it's going to really help you relax. Oh, I've already in half of a bar. Excellent. Okay, that should kick in any second. Kick in? Yeah, the relaxing properties. I have found that these candies are kind of special. Oh okay, I look forward to it.
[00:15:38] And I've been eating a lot of them. What have you guys done in there or what? Putting on my pants. Pretty much. I need the arm though. I need to take a good look at the arm. Adam, they need the arm. Oh yeah, yeah.
[00:15:52] And hey listen lady, I know you said you're going to test all of us but listen, I have not been bit but I just feel like if I got bit by a zombie I simply would not become one.
[00:16:04] I mean maybe for you I just think maybe I'm different, you know? You think you're immune? Yeah, no I think if anybody. I'm him. I'm that guy. Uh, that just makes me want to test your blood even more. Um, look, I'm feeling a bit emotional over here. Oh.
[00:16:26] And maybe I'm feeling a little bit anxious because Margaret are you wearing a set of scrubs? Um, yes but- Because I wear scrubs in this family. Scrubs are my uniform. It's my thing.
[00:16:42] If you wear scrubs people will assume you're in charge because you're older and they will just overlook me because I'm just younger and nobody ever takes me seriously and I don't know what's in this chocolate man, I'm going to eat more. Yeah this is a really good chocolate.
[00:17:00] I'm feeling all kinds of ways. That's great. Just let it flow through you. Okay. But I just really- Elizabeth you may have had the wrong kind of chocolate. Yeah. Let me get you a different candy that I think will help what's going on with you.
[00:17:17] Okay, I just, I get really, um, I get really upset, like I get really, I have a lot of anxiety already to begin with and I think, um, I'm just exacerbated, it's just exacerbated by the situation that we're in.
[00:17:27] I mean it's really, really strange out there and I do not like looking at Margaret and the scrubs. Margaret, do you mind if I just like close my eyes when I'm around you for the next little while?
[00:17:34] Like I think I'm just going to sit in this corner and I'm just going to close my eyes and I'm not going to pay attention. Oh Elizabeth what if I gave you a hug and then your eyes would be behind me and my eyes would be behind you?
[00:17:48] Would you do that for me? Yeah let me hug you. Okay. Oh this is nice. Yeah it's weird hugging with only one arm but- Yeah I'm trying to pat you on the back but I, oh I don't, I have only got one hand.
[00:18:07] Hey lady do you have more funyons? I'm on my seventh back and I feel like I'm still hungry. I think that might be all the funyons but um, oh shit. There's Cheetos over there, do you like Cheetos? Oh my god I love Cheetos. Strangely appetizing right now.
[00:18:25] Yeah that should be good. Yeah this. You know if the scrubs are a problem I just thought Margaret could use some clean clothes but there's a gap like three blocks over and I don't think it's been completely cleaned out yet.
[00:18:44] You might be able to find some clean clothes over there. What's that sound? I think the test is done. Oh yeah, hey thank you. Let me go check it out. Wow, time is blown by. Um, Elizabeth my dear. Yeah.
[00:19:00] I remember how you were saying you were worried people wouldn't be able to tell who the leader of the group was. Not leader, medical leader. Well I rode on the back of your scrubs with this Sharpie. Oh. The leader. Oh you did? Yes I did that for you.
[00:19:20] Oh my goodness that's amazing. You are the medical leader of this team. Everyone will know. Yes. Hey guys you ever think about how weird your hand is? You know you're just looking at it and it's like man. I didn't until just now. There's so many things. Hey Adam.
[00:19:40] Yeah. You have had enough candy for now. Why? Because um, I didn't want to tell you guys before but all the candy is cannabis candy. The Green Goddess Farmers Market was actually a medical marijuana dispensary. What? They put marijuana sticks in the candy. Yeah.
[00:20:05] And I have this theory that it helps you not turn into a zombie. So I like to maintain a level of THC in my blood at all times to protect myself. That doesn't seem like actual science. I think it works. I haven't been bitten yet so it's working.
[00:20:27] Well, okay. There was an episode of Mythbusters about this and I just can't quite remember what the findings were. Well you had some candy too. My Mythbusters memories are strangely murky right now. Yeah you're gonna have some trouble with recall. Kate. Kate. Yeah? Kate. Kate. Kate.
[00:20:52] What's the test result? Kate. So it looks like, it looks like Margaret's blood doesn't match the blood from the arm. And I think that means that you got the amputation in time because there's definitely virus in
[00:21:13] the arm samples that I just looked at but I don't see any in Margaret's test blood. Okay well I have a question then. Okay. When you're just normally sitting do you keep your teeth together or slightly apart? I'm, I think it's a personal choice.
[00:21:35] Oh shit I hate that you just brought that up Margaret. But I would suggest this is a yoga breathing technique that helps with relaxation. This might be good for you Elizabeth. If you press your tongue against the roof of your mouth and hold your teeth open slightly
[00:21:51] it will relax you. Okay but won't my tongue go through the roof of my mouth? I promise you it won't. Um, I think I need to talk to my chosen family for a moment. Oh is that what you guys are? That's so cute.
[00:22:05] Okay that's what I call them yeah. Yeah I'll step in a lab you guys talk. Yeah just put your fingers in your ears or something. So I don't understand a word of what she just said to us quite frankly do you guys?
[00:22:17] I think she said that Margaret is fine. She's virus free. Um, I think we need to find some keys and get into, I think we need to stop with this candy. This Kate person seems like she's just gonna make us higher and higher until we can't move
[00:22:32] and then she's gonna eat our bodies. Oh my god. That's why she's testing us to see if our bodies are diseased. I wasn't worried about anything until you just said that and now I'm worried about it.
[00:22:47] Okay so I think we need to find the keys and get into these other labs because what if there's something in these other labs that will help us? I'm gonna sneak up on Kate because she trusts me now and I'm gonna grab a key okay? Okay.
[00:23:03] Here I go. Why is she humming? Kate what was that? Oh this is some more cannabis. I smoke it as well as eat it. It helps keep the levels in my blood high. Cool dude Miles Davis I'm just gonna borrow this key.
[00:23:34] I mean I could and thank you. I'm gonna walk backwards. I like the music. Okay that worked out. Oh my god guys I'm freaking out. I got it though. Okay now I know she said that the keys don't work but I think maybe it's just
[00:23:56] she's so high she doesn't remember how to unlock doors. It's very possible. Adam can you take the key and see if you can try the doors and if then if the key doesn't work just knock them down.
[00:24:07] Alright and I'm going up to this door over here and oh this looks this is caught I mean that's a really small hole. I don't alright I give up I'm kicking it down. Whoa the wood went everywhere.
[00:24:28] They really should build some stronger doors in the air I feel like. This just looks like um I don't really see much in here there's a desk I'm just gonna flip through some drawers.
[00:24:38] I'm not really sure what I'm looking for but I think I'll know when I see it. You guys go try some different rooms let's all separate and come back together in like five minutes. Yes let's find treasures and then we'll put them in a treasure chest
[00:24:48] and then we'll be pirates later and I'm going goodbye. Alright I'm gonna uh what are we doing? You say that again? I'm sorry I wasn't made. Just stick with me can we go check the next room please? Yeah yeah yeah okay.
[00:25:06] A win-moo-wet, a win-moo-wet, a win-moo-wet, a win-moo-wet. Gonna try to kick down, wait what is that? That's Kate. She's doing the full music. Is Kate singing another very old cultural reference? A win-moo-wet, a win-moo-wet, a win-moo-wet. Alright there's a lot. I can't use keys under these circumstances.
[00:25:23] I'm kicking open this door too. Help! Help guys! Help! In this room over here! Help me! What is it? I think it's a ghoul! It's got me! Help! I can't see it's behind me! It's got me! Margaret, Margaret, Margaret, that's a potted plant.
[00:25:41] But wait! Margaret, what's behind the plant? Look at that! Oh. It's a map on the wall. That's the United States of America. It is. Oh, it's... can somebody focus their eyes on it? If I salute at it, I kind of can.
[00:25:58] Yeah, I need to like really... anything need to stand at like kind of an oblique angle. It looks... okay, okay, okay. I've seen something like this before. If you look at the map, there's dots on it and the dots correspond to... What's this legend hero?
[00:26:12] They're all virus testing centers across the country. Wow. Somebody at one of these has probably solved ssssaducous? Yeah, probably. I mean... Oh, Kate's coming. Hey, Kate! Oh, you opened the door! Yeah. Oh, that's awesome. Yeah, we found this map, Kate. Do you know anything about this map?
[00:26:43] Oh, yeah. These are where some of my friends work at some of these other virus sites. Sure. I know that the Indiana ones are burned out, but my colleagues in California and Nevada were making a lot of progress.
[00:27:01] They don't have a cure, but they were really close to figuring out some kind of vaccination so that if you get bit, you won't turn.
[00:27:10] Yeah, now that I have studied this map for a full minute, I see that there is a big giant circle that says Safe Zone in California. I have been thinking about going out to California. I'm doing okay here, but maybe in the future, that's where I'll head.
[00:27:28] Yeah, you could take up surfing. Oh, that'd be great. Yeah, I don't think there's anything else about California that would appeal to someone of your predilections. Oh, I mean, I think also the mountains. Yeah, the mountains. Maybe the trees. Also lots of cannabis dispensaries out there.
[00:27:48] Oh, that's, oh, that's so, that was... And cannabis farbs. Okay, I don't think you guys noticed, but I left the room for a while. Oh no. I did. Look, I found these backpacks and I filled them with extra food. I hope you don't mind.
[00:28:05] I know this is your food, Kate, but I took the stuff I don't think you're going to eat like this bag of apples. Yeah, I don't care about that. Yeah, I know we left the funyons and we left all the cheezies.
[00:28:16] Oh, I didn't leave any funyons, let me tell you. That's okay. I hope you don't mind. I found some iodine pills so we can have water. I feel like I'm always making sure you're healthy, but I am the leader. It says so on your shirt.
[00:28:30] It says so on my shirt. As long as I get to keep doing cool shit, I'm good with that. You guys could like stay here for a while if you want, but if you want to go, that's cool too.
[00:28:43] I'm an introvert, so like I'm happy to be by myself. Yeah, it's a little... the vibes in here are a little incorrect. Well, you had like eight grams of sativa. You might be overreacting. I didn't really realize you guys were going to eat entire candy bars.
[00:29:00] Well, you didn't warn us, Kate. You didn't warn us. No, I thought you might turn it down and I really wanted to inoculate you from the virus. No. Um, Elizabeth, did you pack my arm as well?
[00:29:15] Well, it does seem like a good thing to bring with us just in case we need to prove to people that your body is fine but your arm is a disease. And I'm not giving a back scratcher of that quality, so hand it over.
[00:29:29] I'm sort of attached to it. At this point, I kind of just want it. You might want to clean it a little better. It's going to start to smell real bad soon. Yeah, let's go clean up your wound, Margaret, and then I think we should hit the road.
[00:29:42] I mean, I think... guys, I think moving, trying to find the safe zone is a good idea. I think if we try to hit up some of these places along the way, that's not a bad idea.
[00:29:51] But honestly, I'm not sure that my fragile ego could handle the competition with another medical professional in our group. So, I mean, even though she seems like really not that good, she still...
[00:30:03] I think she has a higher education than I do and I actually find that really uncomfortable. I hope you don't mind me being so vulnerable but... Elizabeth, you're my number one medical professional. Margaret. Thank you. Angry Adam doesn't care about education.
[00:30:23] Alright, my school was the streets. My textbooks are my guns. My cafeteria school lunch is... well, it's not that different. I really like uncrustables. Uh, I feel kind of bad about something I want to tell you guys. Okay.
[00:30:42] There's a working PA system in these labs and I've been able to hear all your conversations. Okay. But we really do kind of huddle pretty close to the people we're talking about. I know you think I'm going to eat you and... I'm a vegetarian.
[00:31:04] Oh, you had me there for a moment. I was really worried you were going to say, I am. Yeah, yeah. That would have been a twist. There's something else I didn't tell you. Some of these locked doors have the dead heads in them and they might eat you.
[00:31:24] Grateful dead fans. No, I mean the ghouls. Oh no. I've been hanging on to them because they're people I used to know and... I keep hoping that I'll figure out some way to bring them back but... It's really sad.
[00:31:37] If you go into these rooms, you might get eaten and I don't want you to think that I want you to be eaten. Okay, well we won't go in the rooms. Thanks for the warning. Yeah, I think that's pretty sad. I think we just go.
[00:31:50] Yeah, thank you Kate. That really could have derailed us. Yeah, I would have been... I could have spent a whole another 30 to 40 minute length of time in here. Yeah, we'll just go back out that door right there. Okay, don't forget our backpacks. Oh yeah. Well...
[00:32:07] Oh, you guys take water bottles too. There's branded ones in the front hallway for the Green Goddess dispensary. Oh, perfect. Thank you. Thanks. Yes, Green Goddess. Well, that's so sweet of her. Well Kate, thank you so much for taking care of us today.
[00:32:23] Hey, you know, we're all in the same team, right? The team of the living. So like, peace out you guys and if you have to come back, I'll be here, I hope. Even if you drug this without our consent, you're pretty cool Kate.
[00:32:39] Ah, thanks man. You're cute, you know that? Okay, angry Adam. Move along. Move along. It's lonely in the apocalypse. Alright, I say we hit the road and start finding all of these other virus centers. Yeah, I hope that we also get to have some fun along the way.
[00:32:58] Like, I don't want our journey to just be virus centers. Like, maybe we can see some of the sites I've never seen. Like, um, oh the Liberty Bell and the cavern in the earth. The Grand Canyon.
[00:33:14] Yes, the canyon in the earth. If we just happen to get there, we could rob Fort Knox. Oh. Yeah. But she did mention there was a gap nearby. Maybe we'll swing through there first. And get some cute outfits. Matching outfits? Well, not matching. Very hierarchical outfits.
[00:33:35] Yes, as long as mine continue to see a medical leaner, I'm fine. Alright, I agree. Hey, what are you guys talking about? I just was just thinking about guns. I got a little doubting.
[00:33:47] Look, before we, as we climb into the truck, I do have a question for all of us. Which one of us feels sober enough to drive? Uh, I mean... Should we just sleep it off and go tomorrow? Yeah, we might want to take a little...
[00:34:02] That's it. Maybe we just move down a block or so. It's okay. Who doesn't think we just aren't hanging out with her? Okay, let's drive a few blocks and then let's rest the sleep it off and then we'll hit the road when we feel sobered up.
[00:34:18] Woo-hoo! Here we go! The business iron is just good. I'm Jenny. And I'm Randy. And I'm Rob. And thank you for listening to Welcome to the Apocalypse.
