6. Gertrude and the Many Cats

[00:00:00] ,

[00:00:00] hmm,

[00:00:01] ah,

[00:00:02] hmm,

[00:00:04] Podcastica,

[00:00:06] Previously, unwelcome to the Apocalypse.

[00:00:09] Do you think cats can be zombie?

[00:00:11] Like are have you seen any animals out there?

[00:00:14] Everything I've seen I've seen with the two of you.

[00:00:17] My my mom actually died when I was quite young.

[00:00:19] Well she didn't die she just walked out on us so I just told everyone that she actually

[00:00:23] fell off a boat.

[00:00:24] Before there was Angriata and it was another guy.

[00:00:27] His name is just regular.

[00:00:29] Elizabeth,

[00:00:31] angry Adam.

[00:00:33] I think of both of you as so I get children to me.

[00:00:36] Hey Mark,

[00:00:37] y'all gave you our backstool.

[00:00:39] What about Mark?

[00:00:41] You see?

[00:00:42] Oh look, the zombies have gotten free.

[00:00:46] Hey guys, fire truck is almost entirely out of gas.

[00:00:51] I wonder what our next adventure is going to be.

[00:00:53] I mean hopefully getting gas.

[00:00:59] Angriata, you know despite everything.

[00:01:06] These have been the best two days of my life.

[00:01:08] Oh yeah, yeah it's no problem.

[00:01:10] You uh,

[00:01:11] we love you.

[00:01:12] You very quickly become an important member of the team.

[00:01:16] When you pick me up a new hamshade at that gas station I never thought we would make

[00:01:19] it to Massachusetts.

[00:01:21] That's not very ambitious.

[00:01:24] It's like one one state away.

[00:01:27] You should really get a more fuel efficient rig don't you think?

[00:01:29] I think fire trucks are very fuel efficient.

[00:01:32] I mean they're big.

[00:01:34] That means efficient right?

[00:01:36] Oh the two of you.

[00:01:37] Yeah, well you ever solved this argument?

[00:01:40] Well I just wanted to say that I'm so happy that you guys taught me a lot and I taught

[00:01:44] you guys a lot.

[00:01:45] And great Adam,

[00:01:46] you getting pretty good with that crossbow I gave ya.

[00:01:49] Oh yeah, no I like shooting the crossbow.

[00:01:51] It's a little different than the gun not as loud.

[00:01:56] I kind of like the boom of the gun but the crossbow you know it has its moments.

[00:02:01] It's a little bit of a different flavor as um,

[00:02:03] it's way still fear.

[00:02:05] Mm-hmm.

[00:02:06] Elizabeth, well,

[00:02:08] huh?

[00:02:09] Well she's asleep still?

[00:02:10] Ah,

[00:02:11] Margaret,

[00:02:12] you getting pretty good at reverse cowgirl.

[00:02:15] Ooh.

[00:02:16] That little video game I gave ya should really help you with your hand-eye coordination.

[00:02:21] Yes um,

[00:02:22] only having one hand I mean I should really make sure I keep this one good and strong.

[00:02:27] Thank you Squeaks.

[00:02:29] You know,

[00:02:30] I think you're probably one of the greatest people I've ever met.

[00:02:34] Yeah, everybody loves Squeaks.

[00:02:36] He's a big hit in the fire truck.

[00:02:38] Eh, well I love you guys.

[00:02:40] Um,

[00:02:41] real quick could you pull the rig over?

[00:02:43] I've got to, uh,

[00:02:44] you know as they say in New Zealand,

[00:02:47] I empty the weasel.

[00:02:48] That is...

[00:02:49] Okay,

[00:02:50] well, we'll pull him over.

[00:02:53] Yo, thanks.

[00:02:55] Alright,

[00:02:56] oh,

[00:02:57] oh, dude.

[00:02:58] Careful out there.

[00:02:59] I know, uh...

[00:03:01] Hey, uh,

[00:03:02] hey Squeaks,

[00:03:03] you might wanna...

[00:03:04] I don't know,

[00:03:05] look out there.

[00:03:06] There's a zombie kind of shambling.

[00:03:07] Yeah, yeah,

[00:03:08] it's alright.

[00:03:09] I'm gonna aim.

[00:03:10] Oh,

[00:03:11] there's another one.

[00:03:12] Oh,

[00:03:13] he's getting free.

[00:03:14] Oh,

[00:03:15] no,

[00:03:16] he's getting free.

[00:03:17] Oh,

[00:03:18] God,

[00:03:19] oh,

[00:03:20] he's getting free.

[00:03:22] Oh,

[00:03:22] you're not allowed to die.

[00:03:23] You're not allowed to die.

[00:03:24] Here,

[00:03:25] oh,

[00:03:26] Oh,

[00:03:27] I'm sorry.

[00:03:29] You're not allowed to die.

[00:03:30] Oh,

[00:03:31] no,

[00:03:32] I'm sorry.

[00:03:33] I'm sorry.

[00:03:34] I'm sorry.

[00:03:35] I'm sorry.

[00:03:36] I'm sorry.

[00:03:37] I'm sorry.

[00:03:38] I'm sorry.

[00:03:39] I'm sorry.

[00:03:40] I'm sorry.

[00:03:41] I have to be like this.

[00:03:42] Oh,

[00:03:43] squeaks.

[00:03:44] Well,

[00:03:45] I love you guys.

[00:03:46] He's

[00:03:47] been the best two days of my life.

[00:03:48] So many questions left unanswered.

[00:03:54] Did anybody know what his accent was from?

[00:03:57] Who are we going to do without our moral compass?

[00:04:00] How are we gonna tell Elizabeth when she wakes up?

[00:04:04] I don't know. Why is she asleep by the way?

[00:04:06] Hold up. Elizabeth!

[00:04:08] Elizabeth!

[00:04:10] Oh, angry Adam, oh no!

[00:04:12] It looks like she's...

[00:04:14] Drink some of these green goddess water bottles.

[00:04:18] Let me take a closer look.

[00:04:20] A hundred milligrams of THC.

[00:04:23] Oh, and you know THC because you used to do marijuana sticks.

[00:04:27] Yeah, I used to do marijuana sticks all the time and I'm a hundred and hundred milligrams.

[00:04:32] That's like seven marijuana sticks.

[00:04:35] Oh, the wonder she still asleep.

[00:04:38] Her poor thing.

[00:04:40] They love water better and speaking of water, I actually kind of have to pee as well.

[00:04:46] You think we could pull into...

[00:04:48] Like right away?

[00:04:49] Like right after what just happened?

[00:04:51] You think we're gonna do that again?

[00:04:54] But maybe we just like pull into a neighborhood a little far away.

[00:04:57] I think the second time for the jam are right in the...

[00:05:00] The zombies back there seem pretty busy so we just drive up a little bit and pull over.

[00:05:05] That's true. They are still in the rear view and they are.

[00:05:09] They are ripping apart squeaks.

[00:05:12] Oh, there she is.

[00:05:14] Angry Adam!

[00:05:15] Look, there's someone in the road up ahead.

[00:05:18] Oh yeah, no I see him.

[00:05:20] There's down the middle.

[00:05:21] I'm gonna...

[00:05:22] Nope.

[00:05:23] I'm gonna start rolling around.

[00:05:24] No, angry Adam.

[00:05:25] I think you should go around this one.

[00:05:27] Oh no, I mean she's like right in the middle of the road.

[00:05:29] Just...

[00:05:30] Just right around her?

[00:05:31] I think it's okay.

[00:05:33] No, I think I think no, she's flagging us down.

[00:05:36] Yeah, I'm pulling over.

[00:05:42] Can you hold on the window?

[00:05:44] What?

[00:05:45] Can you hold on the window?

[00:05:47] Alright, alright, I'm rolling down the window.

[00:05:49] Oh, oh, you're a handsome young firefighter.

[00:05:52] Oh, I need help my cat.

[00:05:54] It's stuck in a tree.

[00:05:56] Margaret?

[00:05:57] Um...

[00:05:58] Margaret, new husband?

[00:05:59] Oh, cat, um...

[00:06:01] Wait a minute.

[00:06:02] Newtlemen.

[00:06:04] Oh, Margaret, you haven't aged today, but...

[00:06:09] Is the hook new?

[00:06:11] Yes, Gertrude.

[00:06:12] The hook is new.

[00:06:14] Um, could you just wait a moment?

[00:06:16] I need to talk to my friend here for a second.

[00:06:19] Um...

[00:06:20] Well, if it isn't Margaret Newtlemen,

[00:06:24] a name I did not know until a few seconds ago.

[00:06:26] Angry Adam!

[00:06:27] This is a high-stress situation for me.

[00:06:30] Um...

[00:06:31] I...

[00:06:32] I don't want to go out there and help Gertrude.

[00:06:37] Why?

[00:06:38] When he got against Gertrude.

[00:06:40] She's just...

[00:06:41] I don't...

[00:06:42] You'll see.

[00:06:43] She...

[00:06:44] I know her from before the apocalypse,

[00:06:46] and I didn't expect to run into her.

[00:06:49] Well, she called me handsome,

[00:06:51] and uh...

[00:06:52] That has made me feel good,

[00:06:55] so I am going to rescue a cat out of a tree.

[00:06:58] Oh, fine.

[00:06:59] Okay, Gertrude, where?

[00:07:01] Getting out of the fire truck.

[00:07:03] Oh, awesome.

[00:07:04] I can't believe that you're a higher-fierter Margaret.

[00:07:07] That is just...

[00:07:08] You know, you were always spy,

[00:07:09] and you haven't aged a day,

[00:07:10] but good for you.

[00:07:11] Okay, come into the garden,

[00:07:12] come through the gate,

[00:07:13] come...

[00:07:14] Oh, young man, I...

[00:07:15] I see you eyeballing my...

[00:07:16] Clemedis.

[00:07:17] Do you have a...

[00:07:18] Horticultural interest?

[00:07:19] Oh, yeah, I used to...

[00:07:21] Well...

[00:07:22] Back when regular Adam inhabited this body.

[00:07:26] I, uh...

[00:07:28] knew a thing or two about gardening.

[00:07:31] Oh, regular Adam!

[00:07:33] And who's inhabiting the body now?

[00:07:36] A man-grey Adam now.

[00:07:37] Oh, angry Adam.

[00:07:38] Regular Adam's dead.

[00:07:40] Oh, Gertrude, I know what you're doing.

[00:07:42] Angry Adam, the firefighter,

[00:07:44] and Margaret the fire...

[00:07:45] Oh, this is just lovely.

[00:07:46] Okay, come into the house, come in.

[00:07:48] Well, what about your cat, Gertrude?

[00:07:51] Yes!

[00:07:52] Yeah, come into the house, come into the house.

[00:07:53] I'm going to give you...

[00:07:54] I gotta give you some tea first.

[00:07:56] Oh, fine, hold on.

[00:07:57] Let me write a note for Elizabeth so she knows where we went.

[00:08:01] Dearest Elizabeth...

[00:08:03] Angry Adam and I ran into a friend of mine.

[00:08:08] We're going to go into her...

[00:08:11] This...

[00:08:12] Okay, this might be too long.

[00:08:13] I'm just Elizabeth!

[00:08:16] We're going inside!

[00:08:18] You stay in here, goodbye!

[00:08:20] Oh, yeah, that'll get to her.

[00:08:23] Okay, come on in.

[00:08:24] Okay, oh...

[00:08:26] There are so many doilies in here.

[00:08:29] I have never seen this many doilies.

[00:08:32] Should we take our shoes off?

[00:08:34] Yes, just add them to the pile of shoes over there.

[00:08:36] You'll see there's quite a pile of shoes.

[00:08:38] There's a lot of shoes.

[00:08:40] Yes, okay.

[00:08:42] If you need new shoes,

[00:08:43] I've been meaning to donate them.

[00:08:45] So just take as many as you need.

[00:08:47] Take off my cool combat boots.

[00:08:50] Thank you.

[00:08:51] Well, I'm going to take a while.

[00:08:53] There's like 12 straps on these things.

[00:08:55] Angry Adam, could you help take my shoes off too?

[00:08:58] Oh my god, I got the...

[00:09:00] You got...

[00:09:01] Please!

[00:09:02] You got velcro shoes.

[00:09:04] Mark and I can help.

[00:09:05] Gertude, you keep your hands to yourself.

[00:09:08] It seems to be something that you cannot control about yourself.

[00:09:12] All right, I'm still unboggling my shoes.

[00:09:16] So you guys...

[00:09:18] Oh, sorry.

[00:09:19] Did I just step on a cat?

[00:09:21] Oh yeah, don't mind those.

[00:09:23] And then just when you're ready have a seat on the sofa

[00:09:26] and just clear as many cats as you need.

[00:09:28] Hello.

[00:09:29] Oh cats, I like cats.

[00:09:31] Oh, all right, you bit me.

[00:09:33] I guess it does like me.

[00:09:35] That one's pretty new.

[00:09:36] He just showed up yesterday so he hasn't quite settled into the others

[00:09:40] and his place in the household.

[00:09:42] Really? He's really trying to go for my jugular.

[00:09:46] Wow, this guy is...

[00:09:47] Well, he's quite hungry.

[00:09:49] He's trying to murder me.

[00:09:50] That's my...

[00:09:51] It's very interesting.

[00:09:52] All right, well, what's the name?

[00:09:53] I can deal with this.

[00:09:54] They're so hungry that my chewy delivery has stopped showing up.

[00:09:58] You know, my...

[00:09:59] I don't understand these things, but my niece you see.

[00:10:01] My husband...

[00:10:02] Let's go back.

[00:10:03] My husband passed away.

[00:10:04] Oh, it had to been a year ago now.

[00:10:06] And then my niece set up my chewy delivery.

[00:10:09] And that's how I get the dry food.

[00:10:10] And it...

[00:10:11] I think it stopped coming like two weeks ago.

[00:10:13] And so they think quite hungry.

[00:10:14] Gertude.

[00:10:15] You know it's the apocalypse, right?

[00:10:19] Oh, Margaret, you've always had quite the flair for the dramatic.

[00:10:22] I don't know if my chewy delivery not showing up constitutes an apocalypse.

[00:10:26] Gertude?

[00:10:28] I'm sitting down on this couch and angry Adam.

[00:10:32] You can talk to Gertude.

[00:10:35] Okay.

[00:10:37] Uh...

[00:10:38] This is a walkward.

[00:10:40] Hey Gertude.

[00:10:41] So, uh...

[00:10:43] You haven't heard like...

[00:10:45] You know, like distant moaning outside.

[00:10:48] You know, gunfire.

[00:10:50] Occasional...

[00:10:51] Gas tank explosion.

[00:10:53] Ah, nothing like that.

[00:10:54] Well, this was never the best neighborhood.

[00:10:56] It was, you know, the best me and my Charlie could afford.

[00:10:59] And that's why he built that quite, quite high fence.

[00:11:01] So, you know, I guess...

[00:11:03] I guess I haven't heard more noises than usual.

[00:11:06] But there's been a lot of cats showing up at my place,

[00:11:09] so I've just been...

[00:11:10] Oh.

[00:11:11] And that's why, you know, there weren't this many cats,

[00:11:14] and there's just, you know...

[00:11:15] And your cat shows up and...

[00:11:17] Huh.

[00:11:18] You see how many...

[00:11:19] How many cats would you say you've accumulated roughly in the past two weeks?

[00:11:23] Hold, hold, hold.

[00:11:25] Um...

[00:11:26] Looking around...

[00:11:27] Kind of seems like you're at least in the double digits maybe 30.

[00:11:32] Gertude, where do you think these are all coming from?

[00:11:35] I guess I hadn't thought about it.

[00:11:38] That's because it's the apocalypse, Gertude.

[00:11:42] These cats are probably exiting their houses

[00:11:46] where their families had been turned into zombies

[00:11:49] and now they're coming to your house because you have food.

[00:11:53] Yeah, but Gertude, the world's...

[00:11:56] It's gone mad.

[00:11:58] Oh.

[00:11:59] A word that is synonymous with angry.

[00:12:01] Just so people know.

[00:12:03] You know, I always knew that being a firefire was a stressful job.

[00:12:06] This seems like it's been really hard on you too.

[00:12:08] I'll make you some tea.

[00:12:09] And would you like...

[00:12:11] I've got a tin of cookies, which is...

[00:12:13] You know, it couldn't be more than a couple years expired.

[00:12:16] And, um...

[00:12:17] Oh, I have some of my homemade gummy worms.

[00:12:20] Gummy worms?

[00:12:22] Yes, they're homemade.

[00:12:24] They are...

[00:12:25] Here you go, Adam.

[00:12:26] They're...

[00:12:27] I don't believe an artificial die, so they are a natural brown color.

[00:12:30] That's okay.

[00:12:31] Um, yes, Gertude.

[00:12:33] I'll take that tin of cookies.

[00:12:35] Yep, here you go, Margaret.

[00:12:36] Thank you.

[00:12:37] Gertude, this is just full of sewing supplies.

[00:12:41] Oh dear, yep.

[00:12:43] I put them in the cabinet and then that happens.

[00:12:45] Yeah, okay.

[00:12:46] Well, why don't you go make us that tea?

[00:12:49] Oh, okay.

[00:12:50] Angry Adam?

[00:12:51] What?

[00:12:52] Don't eat those.

[00:12:53] You don't know where they came from.

[00:12:55] They came from...

[00:12:57] I...

[00:12:59] I don't know where they came from.

[00:13:01] You're right.

[00:13:02] Yes.

[00:13:03] Huh.

[00:13:04] I really thought about where food comes from.

[00:13:06] There's some that chew on, like these gummy worms that I'm going to keep eating.

[00:13:10] Oh boy.

[00:13:11] I don't want to stay here longer than we need to.

[00:13:14] Yeah, you have some kind of history with Gertude.

[00:13:18] No, you could say that.

[00:13:20] Yeah, you know what?

[00:13:21] I could say that and I am saying that.

[00:13:23] So can we expound upon this?

[00:13:26] Oh, here's your tea all.

[00:13:28] Margaret, that cat has really taken a liking to you.

[00:13:30] It's...

[00:13:31] Oh, it's cuddled up on your lap.

[00:13:33] Cats do like me, Gertude.

[00:13:35] A lot of things like me.

[00:13:38] I'm not going to take this cat away from you though.

[00:13:41] Okay, and Adam, here's your tea.

[00:13:44] Oh, okay.

[00:13:45] Well, Gertude, Gertude, you keep saying you're Charlie?

[00:13:50] He was my Charlie and you know it.

[00:13:53] Whoa, whoa, where's this going?

[00:13:55] Oh, Margaret, that's...

[00:13:56] That's ancient history.

[00:13:57] I mean, and he's...

[00:13:58] Oh, and now you're going to insult my age.

[00:14:00] For a year and...

[00:14:02] Oh.

[00:14:04] Oh, Charlie died.

[00:14:07] Yep, I said that earlier.

[00:14:09] So it has been him dead for years.

[00:14:11] Margaret kind of has this short-term memory thing.

[00:14:14] We had to tell her it was the apocalypse like...

[00:14:16] It's the apocalypse times before it stuck.

[00:14:18] Yes, I know, it's the apocalypse.

[00:14:21] Oh.

[00:14:22] And is this young man your grandson?

[00:14:25] He's my surrogate apocalypse son.

[00:14:28] Oh, son.

[00:14:30] Quite an H gap there, huh?

[00:14:32] Gertude!

[00:14:34] Where's your bathroom?

[00:14:36] I need to freshen up.

[00:14:38] The downstairs bathroom.

[00:14:40] If you want to go down the hall and then you take a left...

[00:14:43] And then you take a left...

[00:14:44] And then you take a right...

[00:14:45] And then there's a pocket door and it kind of sticks.

[00:14:48] Is it behind the pocket door?

[00:14:50] Yep.

[00:14:51] Okay, let...

[00:14:52] Oh, out of the way, kiddies.

[00:14:54] Oh my goodness, do you have a shovel or something?

[00:14:57] I heard her head over to the restroom at her...

[00:15:00] That...

[00:15:03] So Gertude, tell me about Margaret Noodleman.

[00:15:07] Oh, it has been decades since I've seen Margaret

[00:15:11] and she has not aged a day.

[00:15:13] She looks...

[00:15:14] I just feel like I've aged and aged and she looks just the same.

[00:15:18] Do you know is she still trail running?

[00:15:20] She does have this strange speed.

[00:15:23] It's kind of crazy when she's walking.

[00:15:25] She's got a little bit of a hobble.

[00:15:27] But then she just breaks into this insane bolt sprint.

[00:15:31] You know, my Charlie did really care for her.

[00:15:34] But he said that she would just take off running

[00:15:37] and he wouldn't see her for weeks at a time

[00:15:39] and it just eventually became too much.

[00:15:42] And I was his secretary and we spent so much time together

[00:15:45] and you know how these things go?

[00:15:48] Oh...

[00:15:49] I only caught the tail end of that.

[00:15:52] And before I addressed that,

[00:15:54] I would like to let you know

[00:15:56] that your toilet's not working

[00:15:58] and I had to stoop down

[00:16:01] and use the kitty litter.

[00:16:03] Oh dear, well...

[00:16:05] there is more litter in the basement.

[00:16:08] Was it Adam? Did you say would...

[00:16:10] would you be able to go into the basement

[00:16:12] and get me some more litter?

[00:16:13] Yeah, yeah.

[00:16:14] It's just so heavy and I'm...

[00:16:15] Yeah, let me just...

[00:16:16] I have to fight off a few of these cats.

[00:16:18] They are...

[00:16:20] These guys want meat, dead.

[00:16:22] This is...

[00:16:23] This is remarkable.

[00:16:24] It's the leather. They really...

[00:16:25] they enjoy clawing at the leather I think.

[00:16:27] Yeah, yeah.

[00:16:29] Alright, let me...

[00:16:30] I'm gonna make this hazardous trip to the basement.

[00:16:33] And Margaret, if I'm not back in five minutes,

[00:16:36] I have probably been murdered by about 30 cats.

[00:16:40] Yes.

[00:16:41] Good luck with his extreme tension

[00:16:43] that clearly exists between you two.

[00:16:45] Alright, I'm going to put it...

[00:16:47] Well, go chewed.

[00:16:49] How have you been doing?

[00:16:51] Oh, you know...

[00:16:52] I've been doing okay.

[00:16:54] I haven't heard from my niece in a couple of weeks.

[00:16:56] I've been trying to call her...

[00:16:57] you know, on the landline,

[00:16:58] I don't...

[00:16:59] I don't understand technology.

[00:17:00] So I've been calling her and leaving her voicemails

[00:17:02] and I sent letters but the mail carrier hasn't picked them up.

[00:17:06] Have you tried using AOL.com to get in touch with her?

[00:17:09] Oh no, that Charlie did all of that.

[00:17:12] I don't.

[00:17:13] Go chewed.

[00:17:14] You keep bringing up Charlie

[00:17:16] and I have made a decision that in the apocalypse

[00:17:19] I'm going to embrace this weird world

[00:17:22] and I'm going to embrace the awkwardness of a conversation

[00:17:26] we might maybe have right now.

[00:17:29] Um, you...

[00:17:31] You dirty, hussy.

[00:17:33] You stole my Charlie from me.

[00:17:35] I think I heard something in the basement.

[00:17:37] Are you...

[00:17:38] Adam, are you okay?

[00:17:39] Did you take a tumble on the stairs?

[00:17:41] Yeah, no.

[00:17:42] I'm like,

[00:17:43] they're really swarming me right now.

[00:17:45] I'll be okay but...

[00:17:46] Just make it, just go...

[00:17:48] Yeah, yeah.

[00:17:49] I found a ball of yarn and I'm gonna throw it.

[00:17:51] Oh, okay, that's all right.

[00:17:54] Go chewed.

[00:17:55] Um, how did Charlie die?

[00:17:58] Well, he was quite old Margaret.

[00:18:00] He was in his 90s.

[00:18:02] That's not her old name.

[00:18:04] Despite everything, I'm...

[00:18:05] I guess I'm sorry that happened to you.

[00:18:09] Oh, thank you Margaret.

[00:18:10] You've always been so sweet.

[00:18:12] And I hope zombies eat your face.

[00:18:14] What?

[00:18:15] I said,

[00:18:16] I really like your place.

[00:18:19] Should one of us go down and see if

[00:18:21] Angriottum needs any help?

[00:18:23] He's been gone for quite some time.

[00:18:25] Uh, okay.

[00:18:26] All right.

[00:18:27] Here's the thing.

[00:18:28] Uh, do you have any...

[00:18:32] Band-Aids?

[00:18:34] Like maybe like...

[00:18:35] 100 Band-Aids?

[00:18:37] Oh yes, Charlie.

[00:18:38] Let me go get my first aid kit.

[00:18:39] I'll be right back.

[00:18:40] No, Angriottum,

[00:18:42] you are a mess.

[00:18:44] They really...

[00:18:46] They tore through the leather, my god.

[00:18:49] I mean, I thought the zombies were pretty bad,

[00:18:51] but these cats are...

[00:18:54] Oh man.

[00:18:55] I'm just glad they're not...

[00:18:56] They don't got the zombie virus.

[00:18:58] Okay, I've got your band-Aids,

[00:19:00] but as firemen shouldn't you have like first aid kits?

[00:19:03] Go chewed.

[00:19:04] We're not firemen.

[00:19:06] I was never a fireman.

[00:19:08] I'm not even a man.

[00:19:10] I'm a woman.

[00:19:11] Oh, oh I can't keep up with all these new fangol.

[00:19:14] I don't.

[00:19:15] Oh yeah, resident medical leader is currently incapacitated,

[00:19:21] so if you kind of keeps inventory of all the medical stuff...

[00:19:26] Yes, that's my serage...

[00:19:28] Apocalypse daughter Elizabeth, she is a nurse!

[00:19:31] Oh, isn't that?

[00:19:33] Well while you're here,

[00:19:34] I have some other favors to ask.

[00:19:36] I've been making soup in the backyard,

[00:19:39] and it's a very large pot,

[00:19:42] and I dropped the spoon to the bottom.

[00:19:45] So Adam, would you come out with me and help me retrieve it?

[00:19:49] Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[00:19:50] You can come to Margaret.

[00:19:51] Okay, you're cooking in the backyard?

[00:19:54] Yeah, the stove isn't working for some reason.

[00:19:56] Come on, come through to the backyard!

[00:19:58] Go chewed, it's the apocalypse.

[00:19:59] Nothing's working.

[00:20:00] All right, do I...

[00:20:02] Angry Adam, you go.

[00:20:03] I'm gonna grab my shoes.

[00:20:04] I don't want to get my socks dirty.

[00:20:06] Oh good.

[00:20:07] Take as many shoes as you want.

[00:20:08] This is a lot of shoes.

[00:20:10] Why are there so many shoes?

[00:20:13] Well this is...

[00:20:15] What the hell did you get a pot this big?

[00:20:19] Oh that's...

[00:20:20] This is like a...

[00:20:21] Is this way? Hold on.

[00:20:22] This is a...

[00:20:23] This is above ground swimming pool.

[00:20:25] Well, it's working perfectly well as a soup pot.

[00:20:28] You know I have to feed all the cats

[00:20:30] since my chewy delivery stopped.

[00:20:32] So do you see that spoon down at the bottom?

[00:20:34] Could you think you could get in?

[00:20:37] Uh huh.

[00:20:38] The surface does appear to be bubbling slightly.

[00:20:41] Oh no, it's just...

[00:20:42] It's sauna temperature.

[00:20:44] So it's like kind of like a hot tub.

[00:20:48] Yeah, a situation with soup.

[00:20:50] Yes.

[00:20:51] All right.

[00:20:52] I mean...

[00:20:53] What's that floating vibe?

[00:20:55] Oh that's a...

[00:20:56] That's a...

[00:20:57] That's a bone-shaped potato.

[00:21:00] Is that an eyeball?

[00:21:02] And this?

[00:21:03] An eyeball-shaped potato.

[00:21:04] Oh they really?

[00:21:05] Perhaps a radish.

[00:21:06] I guess I don't know my vegetables that well.

[00:21:09] So I guess that could be...

[00:21:11] You're a flower man more than a vegetable man, I see.

[00:21:14] Yes, see I was very...

[00:21:16] I was about ornamentals.

[00:21:18] It was not...

[00:21:19] It was not in the business of food production or...

[00:21:21] Okay well in you go!

[00:21:23] In you go!

[00:21:24] I didn't eat it.

[00:21:25] Wait!

[00:21:26] Oh, step away from that pot!

[00:21:29] Good shoot!

[00:21:31] I've always had my suspicions about you.

[00:21:35] But while you two are down here,

[00:21:37] I scooped around your house a bit.

[00:21:40] I know what's going on here.

[00:21:43] Your chewy delivery stopped?

[00:21:45] All of these cats keep showing up and they're well fed.

[00:21:50] You have this giant pot in the backyard with...

[00:21:55] Is that an on-shaped potato?

[00:21:59] And...

[00:22:00] I just happened to find a life insurance policy...

[00:22:05] Obstacles in your filing cabinet in the back of your closet...

[00:22:09] Behind a bunch of your clothing...

[00:22:11] Just laying out for anybody to see.

[00:22:14] You are such an efficient snooper, Margaret.

[00:22:16] I've always knew you were talented.

[00:22:18] Hmm...

[00:22:19] Stop complimenting me!

[00:22:22] I think you...

[00:22:25] Are trying to start your own soup company.

[00:22:31] Hey, uh...

[00:22:32] Who's thinking?

[00:22:33] These cats really...

[00:22:35] They really seem to have desire for human flesh.

[00:22:38] Oh, wait! That's what I meant!

[00:22:40] You're trying to kill us and feed us to the cats!

[00:22:43] I...

[00:22:44] Good shoot!

[00:22:45] I always suspected you were a little bit of a black widow

[00:22:50] before the apocalypse,

[00:22:52] and now it seems you've become a fool.

[00:22:56] Like a...

[00:22:59] You...

[00:23:00] Like a big scorpion?

[00:23:01] Yeah, it was actually thinking...

[00:23:02] You're like a scorpion now, go chewed.

[00:23:05] Really big scorpion.

[00:23:06] School is wearing sunglasses.

[00:23:08] Angry Adam!

[00:23:09] Step away from there!

[00:23:10] Yeah, yeah, I'm feeling a little...

[00:23:12] I'm starting to feel a little suspicious about the soup situation.

[00:23:17] Do you like...

[00:23:19] You got like one spoon?

[00:23:21] You didn't just like get another spoon?

[00:23:23] Angry Adam, that's not the problem.

[00:23:25] Go chewed!

[00:23:26] Has been feeding humans to our cats?

[00:23:29] And I wouldn't be surprised if she was a new good...

[00:23:33] Cannibal!

[00:23:34] Whoa, Margaret!

[00:23:35] Are you saying that that eyeball-shaped radish is actually an eyeball?

[00:23:43] You know, Margaret, I'm beginning to suspect why Charlie may have left you all those years ago.

[00:23:48] Oh, you!

[00:23:49] Oh snap.

[00:23:50] Ooh, well you're a...

[00:23:52] A cornpuppin...

[00:23:55] Left-die...

[00:23:59] Cat petting dog lover from hell!

[00:24:03] Go chewed?

[00:24:04] And you know what?

[00:24:05] If you want your cats to eat...

[00:24:08] They're going to eat you.

[00:24:10] Push!

[00:24:11] Ah!

[00:24:12] Oh wow.

[00:24:14] Oh, oh my god, she's sinking.

[00:24:17] Oh, wait.

[00:24:18] No, she's doing...

[00:24:19] She's giving a little thumbs up while she goes down.

[00:24:21] That's a good reference.

[00:24:22] I like that.

[00:24:23] Oh my!

[00:24:24] The cats, they're surrounding the pot!

[00:24:27] It seems like they know something is preparing for them.

[00:24:31] Oh, oh, they're jumping in.

[00:24:33] Don't kidding, don't do that.

[00:24:35] Oh my god, I'm like angry Adam.

[00:24:37] This is really messed up.

[00:24:38] I don't like this.

[00:24:39] This is why I never went to any of my high school reunions.

[00:24:43] They always end this way.

[00:24:45] Let's get out of here.

[00:24:46] What the hell high school reunions?

[00:24:48] Oh, okay.

[00:24:49] Well actually before we leave, let's...

[00:24:51] Let's deal some of our shit.

[00:24:53] Yeah, yeah, we should go through our stuff.

[00:24:55] Yeah!

[00:24:56] There's a lot of shoes.

[00:24:57] Well, yeah.

[00:24:58] There are a lot of shoes.

[00:24:59] Let's take the shoes, Danit.

[00:25:01] Yeah.

[00:25:02] I want to check out the...

[00:25:05] This suspicious and very ominous basement door before we leave.

[00:25:09] Yeah, let's...

[00:25:10] Not a bad idea.

[00:25:12] Ah, this is a...

[00:25:13] This door...

[00:25:14] I don't know.

[00:25:15] This is...

[00:25:16] Yeah, this is a terrifying looking door actually.

[00:25:19] This has gotta be something good down here.

[00:25:21] This is like a different basement too.

[00:25:23] I went down to the basement and this is like a deeper basement.

[00:25:27] Well, leave the way angry Adam.

[00:25:29] Yeah, stairs really go down.

[00:25:31] This is like a sub sub basement.

[00:25:33] There's a spider running now too.

[00:25:35] What the hell?

[00:25:36] What is going on here?

[00:25:37] What was co-trude up to?

[00:25:39] Help!

[00:25:40] Help!

[00:25:41] Help!

[00:25:43] Do you hear that?

[00:25:44] Oh, what?

[00:25:45] Oh.

[00:25:46] Is somebody in here?

[00:25:47] I'm locked down here.

[00:25:48] Oh, Donald.

[00:25:49] There's a man in a cage.

[00:25:51] All right.

[00:25:52] Charlie?

[00:25:53] Charlie!

[00:25:55] Charlie, I haven't seen you in years and everybody said you were dead but...

[00:25:59] I never believed it.

[00:26:01] Let's all know the cats.

[00:26:03] No, the cats are getting in.

[00:26:04] Oh god.

[00:26:05] Oh no.

[00:26:06] I can't stop them.

[00:26:07] We should have opened that door.

[00:26:08] Now!

[00:26:09] Come on, come on!

[00:26:10] Charlie, come on!

[00:26:12] Oh my god.

[00:26:13] I'm sorry, Charlie.

[00:26:14] Please try and shoot some of the cats.

[00:26:15] I'm shooting.

[00:26:16] Oh no.

[00:26:17] They're so angry.

[00:26:19] Oh my god.

[00:26:20] The cats look at the movie.

[00:26:21] Oh.

[00:26:22] Oh no.

[00:26:23] Oh they left behind with bows.

[00:26:27] Charlie.

[00:26:28] That was...

[00:26:29] Oh.

[00:26:30] It's fast.

[00:26:32] I'm sorry.

[00:26:33] I'm sorry.

[00:26:34] And, could you grab his skull for me?

[00:26:37] Yeah.

[00:26:38] I can do that, mom.

[00:26:39] Thank you.

[00:26:40] And, let's get the hell out of here.

[00:26:43] All right.

[00:26:46] I'm not a...

[00:26:54] Yeah.

[00:26:55] Look on the right.

[00:26:58] No.

[00:26:59] I don't...

[00:27:00] Oh man.

[00:27:01] This is usually like an Elizabeth kind of thing.

[00:27:06] I'm just...

[00:27:08] Okay.

[00:27:09] Let's go.

[00:27:10] I'm okay.

[00:27:11] I'm gonna keep patting you on the shoulder.

[00:27:14] Thank you.

[00:27:15] I do use top grime.

[00:27:16] Yeah, that's very nice of you.

[00:27:18] Let's...

[00:27:19] Let's go back to the fire truck.

[00:27:25] Ah!

[00:27:26] I've just been bit while I go deal with my wound.

[00:27:28] Listen to these ads.

[00:27:32] Oh good.

[00:27:33] I've banded myself up.

[00:27:34] Back to the show.

[00:27:38] All right.

[00:27:39] We're back outside and...

[00:27:40] Oh, we didn't...

[00:27:41] Oh, we didn't close the door and the cats are getting...

[00:27:44] Oh, that...

[00:27:45] That's gonna be a problem for this area.

[00:27:48] These cats are roaming...

[00:27:51] They're trying to fight the zombies.

[00:27:53] Whoa.

[00:27:54] Holy.

[00:27:55] Wow, we...

[00:27:56] They're waiting.

[00:27:57] Wow, we need to get out of here before they finish off those zombies.

[00:28:01] Yeah, these might be more of a threat than the zombies so far.

[00:28:04] Yeah, it seems.

[00:28:05] All right, let's get in the fire truck.

[00:28:07] Elizabeth.

[00:28:08] Elizabeth, how are you doing?

[00:28:12] Okay.

[00:28:13] Nothing yet.

[00:28:14] Okay, okay.

[00:28:15] Whoa.

[00:28:16] Still...

[00:28:17] Still unresponsive.

[00:28:18] That's probably okay.

[00:28:19] Yeah, angry Adam.

[00:28:20] Let's...

[00:28:21] Let's get out of here.

[00:28:22] Huh.

[00:28:23] All right.

[00:28:24] I'm in the road.

[00:28:26] I'm gonna...

[00:28:27] Let's...

[00:28:28] Why don't we sing a road song that is driving?

[00:28:37] Okay.

[00:28:38] Driving the fire truck down the road.

[00:28:42] It's a really fun time.

[00:28:44] It's a very fun time, Heather.

[00:28:47] Nobody's husband has died recently.

[00:28:50] For our first love, either.

[00:28:53] Everything is good all the time in the apocalypse.

[00:29:00] And upholding the skull of the first boy I ever kissed

[00:29:04] who rescued me from poverty, but then said

[00:29:09] I was too much shan'ty-rare to wait with the secretary

[00:29:13] who I killed in a pot.

[00:29:24] I'm Randy.

[00:29:25] And I'm Rob.

[00:29:26] And thank you for listening to Welcome to the Apocalypse.

[00:30:19] Welcome to the Apocalypse.

[00:30:22] I never thought I'd see Massachusetts.

[00:30:27] What was this?

[00:30:28] I can't get it.

[00:30:29] It's going like New England.

[00:30:31] Yeah, New Zealand.

[00:30:33] Yeah, when you said we was headed to Massachusetts,

[00:30:38] I didn't think we'd make it but it's been two days.

[00:30:41] No.

[00:30:42] Which takes two days.

[00:30:45] New Hampshire.

[00:30:46] It's the apocalypse.

[00:30:48] It's the apocalypse.

[00:30:50] It is about five miles an hour.
