Episode 5_mixdown
Skylar: Last time on Black Friday of, the dead. I want to grab one of those hunting compound bows. I'm gonna need like a hand guun. Okay, so me and Fatty are looking through the guns. I want an ar though. Automatic rifle. Are those there? There would be some there. I've seen them. Batty is going to gravitate towards the shotgun. Okay. I come back. Yeah, I'm rolling back in because I'm on a longboard now. N n I see. And also I got slung on my back. I got golf, bag nice and sticking out of it for like three shotgun. Oh my gosh. How do we get out of here? We gotta go to we sell drugs pretty much across the mall. Oh, there'a specific place we needed to go to get roof access. Yes. the security office has a ladder in there. The security office is actually pretty darn close to we sell drugs. Right. I think we should probably book it to we sell drugs. Oh, and yeah, and don't forget that you guys also have to get your presents too, before you guys head up to the roof. Okay, so you guys are coming to the end of the service hallway. But as you do, you hear something. The sound of squeaking rubber wheels, something rolling towards you. And around the corner, you see your janitor friend. I don't think he's human anymore. I shoot him with the bow. You, fire an arrow slamming directly into the chest of Joffrey the janitor. Dang it. Used fun. Kept going. Tools you requested. How about we just put him on the cart and just wheel him along with us? As you guys start to turn, you find the food court just loadd fons. You see the National Guard recruitment office. The military vehicle, it's more of a jeep. You do find a, set of keys on it. As you grab these keys, you hear a. And from out of a back room behind it, two more of these National Guard zombies comes walking out. So they closest to me. Yeah, well, yeah. You went in there to get the keys. Yeah, I jump away. M going to talk to canister zombies. Zs. I'm gonn toss the canister of tannerite between them. Oh, and then shoot at it after I jump away. Yeskay. I jump away. No, I said like I jumped backwards when I saw them. This is tannerite we're talking about here, man. This is an explosive. Cool. Do it. You know what? yeah, shoot. He said he did it. Yeah. Go to shoot the tannerite. See if you hit. Oh, he's not gonna miss. I have bad feel about this. I love this idea. All right. I hope we'll die up in Blaze the glory in these four episodes. Or O. That's probably good enough. 11. I mean, get above a nine, do a, D six times eight. That is a 40, 40 damage. And that applies to all creatures that were within kind of that immediate range. You shoot your gun and this massive explosion goes off, causing a huge mist of smoke to kind of fill that entire area of the room. Cameron narrowly rolls out of said smoke, coughing, but alive and otherwise. You can't quite see whether or not you've fully killed the zombies that were back there. Did I live? Yeah, you're alive. I just realized something. What? We're in a National Guard recruitment office, right? Yes. They got an Xbox. I was gonna say they have Xbox. Is it like a. Is it like a sign up thing? No, it's like a way they lure people the Xbox, it's like a way that would like, lure kids in to get them to sign up. Like, hey, you come chill and hang out. Play. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Not like you. They're not goingna give it to you. They're just gonna let you come play. Yeah, come in. Play some games with us. Interestingiting tech. One time I was in a recruiting office before I signed on with the Air Force. it was with the Navy guys and they, they were playing Call of Duty and one of them looked over at me. It was like, I've done that before. I was like, no, you haven't. Well, whatever the case, you've caused a lot of noise. there's this. Is it because he started the Xbox and. Nah. Startup sound. Guys, it's the Battlefield 1 edition that just came
Skylar: out. No, you made a lot of noise. There's a huge bunch of smoke in the back. You're not sure if those zombies are alive. Cameron's crawling his way away from said smoke. And then there's the jeep in the center of the room. What's everybody doing? Did I get the keys? You have the keys? Okay, I'm going to the jeep. You crawl your way into the Jeep. Can I stand up? I'm not a baby. Yeah, I roll the stand up. No, you don't have to roll the stand up. I stand up. Okay. I'm not a baby. You stand up. I learned otherwise. You cl. Clim into the Jeep. You are a little disoriented. I am very dizzy. I rolled to unlockd the car. Ooh, 11. You don't even have. It's not about unlocking. It's a jeep. I mean, you climbing through the top. The car is irrelevant. They have it unlocked. You can get in, you can climb it and it out. Okay, it's about starting the car. I roll, get the keys in the ignition. You have the keys in the ignition. You try a couple of them, and sure enough, one of them starts. But Dave doesn't have the Xbox yet. I'm just clarifying. I roll the RO thing. I can completely agree that it's there. He hasn't gotten it yet. Do I see the, zombies? Do we all see the, zombies? after a couple of moments, sure enough, the zombies crawl out of the smoke. The entire lower torsos have been absolutely blown off. So it's just their upper crawler. Yes, they're crawlers. We can keep these. We gotta keep them so we can. We could do some mystery boxes and stuff. What? This is a call bl. Oh, call it zombies referenceand obviously that was definitely out in Twitt 2016. I know what crawlers are, so I actually would audibly say crawlers. I believe you. I'm going for the Xbox. I grabbed the controller, unpauing it, and they were playing Call of Duty zombies. So the music starts playing. Yes, the mystery box music. So you're all aware of the crawlers that are moving towards you guys at the moment? I'd say one of them probably starts like trying to crawl up the side of the jeep. oh, guys, I gotta get the Xbox. I charge forward. Dave is charging forward to get the Xbox. I start blasting these crawlers, turn my way. one is immediately on the floor, the other one's a little distracted as it's crawling up the Jeep. Go 66. Holy crap. Okay, yeah, that's gonna succeed. Don't even roll damage for that. He's already half a zombie. You just run over and you jump. And as you do, you fire down like it's some kind of like rocket jump or something, but it's just with a, with a shotgun. And you shoot down and its head just explodes. Like it just goes right into it. You land on the other side with like a tuck and roll. You reseathe your shotgun back into the golf bag and then you run forward and start packing up this Xbox One. I'm frantically pulling the cables out and packing it up. What are you guys doing? Buckling my seatbelt. Yeah, I'm just chilling. You guys are all in the Jeep. What about the, janitor? What did you guys do with. Strapped him to the roof. Well, there's still a Zombie crawling back. There's still a zombie crawling up the side of the but it with my gun. yeah. Roll the. Roll the thing. Just do a string. Cuz you're not doing an attack this but it with my gun. Nine Not. That's just enough. Just barely. You. You knock him back. He falls backwards on his back and his armors too heavy. So he's like a turtle that just fell over on his back. He's just kind of squirming there. Yeah. And he's trying to like roll over, but he's just not getting the right amount of traction. Can I shoot him now? Roll to shoot the zombie. Yeah. Okay. 14. 14. Okay, I'm gonna say that you kill him, but just make sure you mark the bullet gone. Yeah. How many bullets? I'm gona one. Okay. I just. It was a quick shot. Yeah. Ye. Yeah. So you shoot down at this guy. Guys, come on. I think you just shoot him like just in the chest or something like he does. He was barely a zombie. I know only you hop in. I know only one shot down. It kills a crawler. Sure. I'll take a word for it. All right, so you shoot the crawler. He's dead. Pretty common knowledge. But of course all this noise in such you made. I'm attracting more zombies out the front. So you're all climbing into this jeep. This military jeep. Nice. You strap the janitor guy like freaking, Jurassic Park. Jeff Gold. Jeff Goldblum in the back of the jeep on Jurassic Park. And as you guys pull out of this national guard facility, where are you headed? First of all, are you headed towards the sell the drugs Stanky tan candle? Stinky candle? well, it's straight north of you. It's straight northle. We don't need candles. There's candles and the pots and pans store right next to each other. And you guys need both of those things Stret you got here late. You don't understand. These guys need to get. Why are t they saying this to me? I am. He is. Dave was saying we gott go there. Okay. So you peel out and you slam into some zombies. As you do just setting a flying back into the crowds of them in the food twirk. No. and you guys peel forward dodging sort of those center displays. to a moderate extent. I mean you. You kind of clip them a little bit,
Skylar: but it's not a big deal. Yeah'm going stinky candles. But upset. He might be slightly concussed. Which I am. My anger on these zombies we're right next to a. Ah, stinky candle. Okay. I'm just driving straight into the zombies right in front of stinky candle Caps. Just cap. Cap. No cap. No cap. Just call cap. No, no cap. You get in there. There's no ha. No, it's all caps. no, all cap. I ah, like that. So might with my condition with someone mine. Well, he's grabbing his candle. Would someone go grab a hat for me? No, I'm on operation apple Slicer. One working arm. I've got. I'm grab. No, I'm gonna go. I'm gonna. You just have you re like screw it. And you just hop out of this. You got. Okay, Quinn, you run it into caps. I'm leaving the bag. Okay, cool. Quicker. I'm gonna stand on the back of this jeep and basically be guarding it. Yeah. Because I know zombies are going to be coming. And as. As you take your stands up on top of this jeep, Joffrey looks up to you and he says, you're going to help a lot of people. Joffrey, hold. One more time. Joffrey, grab that shotgun and out of Dave's. Bang. Yeah, and then when I run out of weapon bullets in my ar. You're gonna hand me the next shotgun, okay? No, I don't get to shoot it. I don't think you came from your angle. Oh, watch me. And he points the shotgun and there's like a zombie coming up. He's like d. This. It misses. Okay, top, you're. I'm gonna shoot at this zombie. You almost hit Quinge. Jorey. Come on. I thought you were gonna say you're gonna. Gonna shoot. Joffrey shot with. Where's that guy? Just hand me the guns. I. I was just. Good. I just start shooting at. Yeahah. You're doing 16. Yeah, that hits. Okay, you're keeping this. I'm gonna use that as like a general roll, and then we'll have you roll how much ammo you expend in a moment. But otherwise you're just keeping zombies back. I successfully grab my hat. Quinn, you rush into all caps. there's a. There's a dude behind the counter, and he's wearing like an extra long jersey, and he's got a backwards, jankies cap. Yeah, you like the New York jan. No, no, the New Jersey jankies. And obviously he's a zombie. You see, the world series hats are behind him. Yeah, I'd like to shoot. Okay. you. I mean, he's Kind of behind the counter. So it gives you kind of a free opening. So go for it. Roll the attack to shoot him. Nine. Nine. Okay. Yeah, that's just enough. Roll the damage know was what? D6? No, D6 times four. Yes. That sounds great. 12. You shoot him. it slams into, his chest. he kind of leans back a little bit, and then he kind of, like lurches forward, and he kind of like falls over the counter. And so he's on your side of the counter. He's laying there on the ground. He's still alive. Have more bullet. It's up to you. How do you hand the situation? I'd like to shoot some again. Okay, you're gonna shoot him again. I'm gonna give you a plus two on this one. Since he's on the ground. He's right in front of you. another 12. Another 12. Okay. Yep. All right. Roll the. I'm not gonna make you roll D. You walk up to him, just blast him. He's dead. And then you turn around and you see the hat. It's up on a high shelf. I just grabbe the pole things in. Oh, yeah, they do have the pole thing. And then I grab a second one. Just. Yeah, why not? Why not? Just in case. All right, sounds good. You have successfully accomplish getting your cubs hat. Your world series cubs hat. And right next door, fatty has procured a mahogany teakwood three wick candle. Over at the stinky candle. Over at the stanky candle. Done. Ah. All right. there was. There was no one in the stanky candle. What? That's hard to believe. It's actually not. And I can't tell you, and I cannot tell you why. I mean, unless. Unless you want to try to, like, gain some kind of intuition. But I don't know how. Guess. Poor naming. M. Mmm. That could be it. That could very well be it. Somebody. Somebody lit all the candles at same time. No oxygen. O. But see, that would create a new challenge. Then I'd be like, algh, Fatty, how did you even get in the store? It's like you walk up to it and you. Gosh. Wearing my standard oxygen mak. All right, so the kids. So big episode as far as, like, collection goes. M. Fatty has his stinky candle. Dave has both his frisbee, golf disc and his Xbox one. Quinn was able to snag his cubs hat. I guess, technically, Cameron already had his jerseyorts jersey. and you guys are sitting and he's speaking of Cameron. He's holding off the incoming
Skylar: zombies as he sits there in the, jeep right across the way, you do see the bapple storore. Just throwing that one out there. Now, would the b. Apple store have apple slicers or just apple slicer? Just bapple slicers. Which is what they call. Charging port. Charging port, yeah. Okay, then I'll go in pots and pans. Well, I was gonna say pots and pans is like, right next to you. You rush into pots and pans, and there are, two kind of crotchety old lady zombies in there. You big caiss. All right, pinch your cheeks. How close are, they, there's one kind of in the back. She's probably not even a problem, but there's one kind of a little bit closer to you. Hands off the merchandise. I. She turns around, she goes like a cat. And he just blasts. ACO blast 1313. You turn your shotgun to her, she goes flying backwards. You're not sure she's 100% dead yet, but, man, did she fly. She had no traction on her u. tennis ball walker. Yes, her tennis ball walker. And she was coming at you with it too, but she goes flying back to the other one Somewhere in the back of the story there. and you grab your apple slicer and you go running out with it. All right, Dave, you've officially gotten every item on your list, man. Now I need, like, a duffle bag. Yeah, right. It's not really, like, bags involved in cooking. It's a really big pot I could grab. Yeah, there's stock pots. Okay, you want a stock bo grab, Xbox sized pot, the largest, like, stock bough you can find. I need something to put these in. Unless. So I come back, I put the apple slicer in there. So it's like, clunking as I'm running. Hopefully this is for yourself, because I feel like you're going toa give it to somebody and they'll be like, yeah, I got the red ring of death, like, day one. No apple slice in't put the xbox. O. Okay, looking through this little intersection here, does there appear to be a lot of activity going on at the b Apple store? yeah, there's like three dudes all wearing bapple shirts in there, and they're just kind of moseying around. They're obviously zom. Oh, they're not part of the. Sory, they're not customers. They're all looking at their phones. You come walking it. I'm gonna go visit the idiot bar. The idiot bar. Not to be Confused with the Genius bar. okay. But no, I'm gonna go see if I can procure a, you paad. All right, sounds good. You go running in there, you got, you got these, these three zombies, two of which or one of which immediately comes quickly over to the front of the store to greet you. And he's got like a, he's got like a U pad strapped to his arm and he. I'm going to quickly turn tail and run away. Okay, okay. He kind of follows after you a little bit. Like, he's like, I'm gonna, run through the intersection back to the Jeep screaming, cover me. Can I shoot him? Yes, you can shoot for the head. Eleven. Okay, that hits. I'm going to try to keep it a little bit general because at this point you guys have guns and these are just regular kind of your everyday average zombies. So as long as you hit, you're not wasting ammo. you fire it and it shoots his. So his arm is where he obviously got bit previously by another zombie. So it is basically hanging there by a small amount of flesh. You fire this gun and it basically removes the rest of his arm. It causes him to sort of spin in place off balance and fall down. His remainder of his arm that has been separated has the UAD on it. I thought I have a uppad so now I can have a bonus uad. You didn't grab and go. I was saying you ran up to the store immediately. Oh, I didn't even get. Okay, yeah, I'm gonna grab the upad and arm at the same time and then tell me how you're holding it as you grab it. Like, what's your go to here? I'm gonna go with like the, Frodo Sam grip where I'm kind of holding the, the forearms, wrist and his arm or his hand is holding my wrist attached to the upad. Oh, gosh. That's weird. That's weird, but it's hilarious. Okay, grab. You grab it and you run off with your, your u paad plus forearm and you have a, You have accomplished that. I'mnna. I'm starting to hit the side of the car. The Jeep. Come on, guys, got go. Come on, get back in. Is everybody getting back in? I'll hop in, yeah. Okay. As you're all running back in, fatty, you think to yourself as you're kind of looking towards the area trying to scan for zombies, you look over to the pots and pans store and you think
Skylar: the samurai ice cream maker and you see a Huge display of them in the window. But zombies are starting to make their way from every hallway down towards you. What do you do? You Addy. Come on. Get it. It's his last present on his list. What are you standing that door. He is. He's just standing there and he's like looking back and we'all in the it will go for the ninja samurai. For the samurai samurai. Creamy rol roll ed Dex like some kind of like run. Yeah. I don't know if you have a sky. I feel like you had something on there that might relate to that mowing. Do I see what he's heading towards? Yeah, I think you all you're all looking right at him. You guys are all in the jeep. Can I shoot the window? Ah O I've got to help him. A12A AH12 okay. M you run for a Dave. I'm just go goingna say you just just consume the ammo. It's a big window. I mean you're not probably gonna miss. Hold on. Maybe I should make you roll it just to see if you don't hit faty himself. 11:11 okay, so 11 definitely fatty. You're like running towards the pots and pans store and then all of a sudden the window just shatters in front of you. Oh, that's so cinematic. Fall back. Where it's just terrified. As this glass goes FL thankfully it goes flying inwards. but whatever the case youn scramble back to my feet. Yeah, you scramble back to your grab. the samurai fromab the bottom of the display case. So as I grab it, it just everything topples overab1 these are big dude. These are like this. Yeah. Grab an extra. You ah, can pick one of on the ground, sir. Whatever the case yes. You grab it and it's a good thing that you do because the zombies from that hallway are coming towards you. And as you pull this this ice cream they are all buried under. Ext Ninja samurais. Yes. A horde of samurais destroy the zombie. That sounds so cool. All right, sounds good. So, Quinn, you have a PS4 Slim you still need. And Jackson, you've got a necktie and a lightsabber that you still have to get. But neither of those were really necessarily in this area. So we'll have to see what opportunities arise. I got one. I need them all. Yes. That's why I made you guys have three items. Other two items. you PS4 slim was the only other item. Technically you didn't. Yeah, you only had two because you wouldn't come up with the third one. Am I back in the driver's seat? Yeah. Game goes right down. Down the hall. Why are we still going to these places? Let's go. What time is it? I look at my phone, see what time it is. 10:30. We still got an hour and a half. Like, Connor needs his meds. I really need my meds, bro. I'm feeling n but good. Goes right here. And then we can just go right down to the drugs. One more stop him I don't know about. Listen, after all this'two un name stops. Hang on. We can make this stff. We can make this work. After all is said and done, you. I still have to drive down to Missouri, so, like, I don't even know why I'm up. What do you need? You need a tie in what? I need a necktie for my father and for myself. I'm looking for a replica lightsaber. All right, here, right next to gamego, we could have ties and more. That's a store. Ties and more. It's a Tai store. You never heard of it? Kai. Kai ties. Yeah. Underneath it says it's a Tai store. Not to be confused with I never heard of him. Where you live under a roide, it says slogan. And then, right across from it. Could be for a lightsaber. Could be. It's, just. It a. It's a Toys R Wii. You know, Toys are you. Toys are you. Dude. All right. Toys are you to. It's toys. Literally. Me r in a U. Yeah, that's how I bro, it's called. It's toys for me. It's just like, toys for me marketed towards adults just buying them. Ye. It's literally just like, three stores downe. It's true. you guys go around the corner, you guys start slamming into some zombies. Time is a corner. It'not even really. Yeah, it's like a straight line. It's basically just a straight line. Yep. Okay, we're here. Yeah. Wow. What moral ch we just did. I would say. I would say that, there's a couple of zombies that get past the. The collapsed ice cream makers thing. And so as you're starting the wheels, there's a moment where they kind of are, like, running against the flooring. And you just see. You just see Joffrey in the back, and they're getting
Skylar: closer. He's like, they're getting closer. They're getting closer. And then finally the wheels screech and then you guys lurch forward. he rolls a little Bit. And then he catches himself with one of his good arms. And then he pull. He holds on'just. Say is six good arms. For some people, they turn into zombies for other people'they get weird mutations like Fallout. What's going on? No, Sorry. But anyway, job for you. Good back then. And the eight armed octopus creatures. Joffrey's in the back, and he just looks back up at you guys, and he says, the items you guys are getting from those stores, they're gonna help a lot of people. Just go get your stuff, you two. As I stand back up, the fire at the zombies that are following our car. Al right, so you guys are parked. You guys run inside. game go is has a hefty number of zombies in there. I say a hefty number as far as, like, can fit in the game go. Like, let's say there's six zombies in. I will toss Quinn a canister of tannerite. Oh, I said I grabbed four. Yep. All right. Chuck it in there. You chuck it in there. Roll to shoot. it. You just. It'd be so funny if you miss and you're just sitting there like. No, hold on. Let me try again. No, no, I got it. I got it this time. so it looks bad. Dexterity. seven. plus nine. Nine, exactly. All right. That's exactly what you needed. I think it's the, like, D. Six times eight, I think, is what the grenade was. So roll that times eight times eight. Was it six? 40. Holy cow. Okay. You shoot this. It's a crowded store. I mean, that's not a big store. So this really just maximizes the damage. There's. I mean, the whole store just. The glass shatters out of any side that there's glass on the wall or whatever. The displays are all shattered in there. and it is just filled with smoke. You have no idea if there's something in there that might have survived or not. You don't know. But the zombies are coming, and it's gonna be too much for Cameron to be able to just shoot down. They just sell that stuff. Sp. They really do actually do. I've seen CR. Go get it. Yeah, it's. I thought you were gonna go get your ties. What are you still doing? There's no one in the te. I'm. I. I'm gonna say nothing. Survive that. I'm gonna try and go to the back through the back door real quick. That's right. Okay. Through the fireames. You run around to the back door. And it's locked. Course It. I'm not trying to be a. But, but this is a very like high value storye. Wouldn't the thing just have blown the door open? Okay, sure. O. Thank you. I'm like, come on. That's the only reason'too much pressure and it caused the door to bust. Right. So I go back there. There's got toa be a PS4 slim just chilling in the back ca. Because that's where they always have. Sure, yeah. Grab one. I'm out. You're out the back. I jump in the car. There's no shrapnel on the PlayStation through the door there. Wall in the back. Not through wall. you jump into the jeep and by the time that you've done this. And then Jackson. What? Tell me he's doing this at the same time. Tell me the goofy tie that you managed to find. So it, it, I went Garfield. It says I hate Monday. I found a tie. And it is, it is green. It'just it's like a solid, green tie. Yep. And on the underside it says, get out of my swamp. Nice, Nice. It's a Shrek tie. I like it. Awesome. are you running over to toys? Are you. yes. Okay. Ah, you run into toys. Are you not an. A toy store for adults? I feel like that. Wait a minute. Does it not. Does that not fix it? Isn't thatult? I don't know. I feel like I could erase this and leave it just the xxx. If you want, you could say, you could call it a movie replica store because that's the exact same thing. It's action figures, it's movie memorabilia, it's all toys, but you just call it Replica Storye. Well, I like the idea that it's a movie replica store. I can't really rename it because we've said Toys R you like six times now, so. But that's basically what it is. Okay, so you see, inside it's a bunch of these dudes with movie T shirts, mostly horror. And they all have like those button down shirts that they have over, over top of, them, but they're not buttoned down. So it's just like T shirt underneath with a graphic tee and then a button down shirt over top of it. Then the whole store just, it just reeks of like body odor. Yep, it does. There's not even zombies in here. What? In fact, they'not zombies.
Skylar: Right. But as you walk in and you rush towards the display with the lightsabers, you hear, hey, excuse me. Are you guys alive? No. Leave me alone. Wait, wait, wait. Don't leave me. Can you. Can you help me get out of here? You guys have a. Whoa. Is that a jeep? I feel like he would know the model of the jeep, but Skyller doesn't know the model of jeep. I. He probably does not. He probably is, like. Right. That really reminds me of that one scene in. In, Star Wars Episode 3 when they're on that desert planet. Or. O man, it's. It's like that scene in, Tropic Thunder just. Hey, I love Justin Long. Well, the desert planet, you have the box with the. With the lightsaber in it. Ah, but what are you gonna do about this guy? Look, can I just please just, I don't know where you guys are going. Could you take me with you? All right, yeah, come with us. We got a guy in the back of the jeep that needs some moral support. Oh, man. All right, let's. Let's do it. And. And this dude hops out. I mean, he looks exactly like the guys I described. I like to think that he also has, a stormtrooper helmet. And he puts it on even better. Nice. Let's get it. I'm gonna get in. Into jeep. So while, Jackson's doing this, I like to think that I'm shooting a gun, clearing the way alongside Fatty and Dave, and we're just kind of all on top of the jeep. Just blast away. And while we're shooting, I'm just like, hey, guys, have you. Have we thought, like, we're getting picked up by the military? Do you think they're gonna let us bring all of this stuff with us? Well, aren't they gonna be cramped of room? Well, you guys are currently the only survivors that the room could. Who said. I mean, I'm sorry, you guys. We're the only ones getting at it. What about the people that were in cover to cover? Who's the say people aren't just on the roof already? Well, maybe we find out when we get there. As far as I'm aware, the items you guys are picking up are gonna help a lot of people. They've got plot armor items. The items. Oh, that's interesting. Items, have plot armor. Yes. Interesting. That's an interesting way to think of surviving the zombie apocalypse. Paty, is. Does Jackson have another person with him? Hey, guys. My name is Kevin. it's great to meet you. I'm a very, I bring a lot to the table. I've Seen a lot. Pretty much every zombie movie in existence. basically all the way from Night of the Living Dead all the way to, all the way to Train to Basan. And I watched Train to Basan in the original Korean too. He starts to get into the back with Joffrey and he's like, man, they had this really crazy scene where they're like actively fighting zombies in the train and it's like a crowded room. And the one guy, the one really strong guy, he's just like holding them all off like. Jackson, are you here? O Guys. Everyone get in? Yeah, everybody's in. Okay, cool. There are a lot of people in this jeep. Yeah, it's getting pretty crowded. Five plus Connor, plus Jeffrey plus what was Kevin? Kevin. I like to think that Kevin is sitting in Joffrey's lap because we're running out of. He's sitting there like Santa Claus. Like Santa Claus style. Just across the lap, hand behind the neck, just talking to him. I would love to get the Blu Ray set. The Lord of the Rings, the Lord editions. Oh my gosh. Have you seen it with the director's commentary? Remember that part where, where. Listen, Kevin, I love Lord of the Rings, but we don't have time to geek over it now. And that means something. That's a fair Jackson. A death stare right now. Well, whatever the case, is there a seatbe? Who's the guy that kicks the helmet? And is that Aragorn? Oh yeah, Yeahorn. Did you know he actually now do you shoot him? He kicks it just like this and he kicks the Stormt Troper helmet and he's like, oh no, my stormtrooper helmet. He says that. and then you see like the, you know, the classic camera cut to like it's really far away from the Jeep. You see him get like kicked out the back. Bul. No, no. He does say that though. He's like, hey guys, there's not really a seat. And then you guys start. You squeal around the corner there to head down towards, we sell drugs. and the exit. Yes, and ideally the exit to. As we get to we sell drugs. I'm going to like turn the
Skylar: Jeep and like park it so it's sideways and blocking the path so that we can go to Weasel Drugs and then make it to the exit. Oh, okay. So you're basically right next to Dino dozers in that little area or. Yeahah. Cutting off that corner. Okay. Because that also attaches to the food courte area. Yeah. So, I'm Blocking all that off. So you're kind of blocking off that kind of corner there. Awesome. Awesome. So as you guys run, into. We sell drugs. I would say that pharmacy probably isn't super busy on Black Friday. you sure hope it wouldn't be, you know, like, we don't want a lot of injuries. So you guys are able to go in there, you find Connor's insulin, he shoots up. He doesn't want insulin. No. If we said he's low, he needs food, which is what we. We don't need food. Some glucagon. Yeah, Give him some glucag. Some glucagon. He gets a glue and insulin for when he comes. A glue gun. Connor's favorite. Connor, for the record, loves eating glue. You run into the baby store and you buy some goo goo go. Is that what you goa. Glucaga, glucaga, glucagon, Glucag go. This is ridiculous. Who makes these names? This is like I'm naturally occurring hormone. All right, so you grab some glucagon. I feel ridiculous saying it. Run back to the Star wars store and buy the book about the race glucagons. Wow. Okay. I bet Kevin would have a lot to say about this gluc. How do you take glucagon? It is an injection. Rectally Injection. Okay. Thankfully, rectally. Yes. It absorbs it quicker. They bypass. You see Connor, like, tape off his arm and, I don't know, go stomach o. It's like an epien. Yes. Okay. He jams his glucag go into his thigh. He says, right on, Roz. I feel so much better now. Did anyone grab me a gun? Why do you? I'm still stuck on the fact that you think people who take insulin act like junkies tying off their arms'seen? Him do that at game night. I don't think where I saw him, I'never seen his ar. You'even take there. Yeah, that's what we're saying. He's what'saying? He ties off the arm. Was he tapping for veins too? He must have been. Hey, we need to talk to Conly. I don't know what he was up to, I swear. I have amazingly vivid mental image of Connor tying off his arm and, like, doing some kind of an injection. Maybe he was making a joke. I don't proably. I don't know. I don't know. Okay. Whatever he's got, he's got a kit of insulin and he took his dang glucagon. Let's Go. And you guys run out of. We sell drug. No, I'm gonna get some antibiotics. Oh, you get some antibiotics. Okay. What is it? Tie your arm and andect that, fatty. Do it, fatty. What do I need? Well, what are you looking for? Gram positive or gram negative? Oe. He's behind the counter, throws it out. Out. Ye. just grab some augment. Yes, some aug rotten. This is where we lose, like, 95% of our audience. Whatever covers. I wish I went to pharmacy school. Auggment. Yeah, give me some that. Ah, down the hatch. All right, all right. You're taking. How many pills does you take a take? Come on. All right, Tie off my arm. Tie your arm and then you take. You just down or. What are you doing? G. That s. That's all I'm taking all my drugs from now I'm gonna be at work being like, I'm about to pops of ibup propfen go had they seem me sor of wrapping my heart. Hony, did you get me that tight tape so I could take my daily vitamin'officeah? T say when Selen is to say. Everybody runs inside it just to starts taking medications. They're just grabbing bottles off the shelf. I grabbed some Zola. Some. Do they have any? Everybody's taking claret and clear for some reason. I don't know. Have you got any cough syrup with codating? Fentanyl? Quinn's high in the corner. Chugging cough. I grabbed some gosh for the pain. Some real gauze or Joffrey. And as
Skylar: you rush over to him with this gauze and start putting it on him, he says he looks you in the eyes. He looks you in the eyes and he says, this is gonna help up people. And as you start. Cause, oh, shoot. Is he still on the Jeep? Oo Joffrey. Yeah, Nobod helped him, I guess. Okay, well, now that you got him wrapped up, do you like. What are you doing? Because you guys are leaving the jeep here, right? Yeah. Okay. I, put him on the long board. Hey, is he still laying down now? He's doing the super. And I grab one of his good arms. You're just leading him. I just drag him like a piece of luggage. Just more moaning than, the luggage as Kevin get off. but it's so much easier with someone else just pulling me. As you, get Joffrey off and you start to lead him away, as you guys are starting to make yourself towards the, security office, all of a sudden the jeep lurches over as if, like, lifted from One end and shoved out from the other side. And coming out of the prote Team supplement store is a massive T ripped zombies T. And he says, up the ladder, up the ladder, up the ladder. you guys aren't even at the security office yet. I mean, I guess that's a question. Are you guys running for the security office or you gonna book? And as you're booking it for the security office, Kevin's hustling behind you guys. Push him over. he dav. Pull around and shoot him in kn. I mean, you can if you want to be a butthole, but let me finish my description. Dave's pulling, Joffrey. And Joffrey's like, I don't know what thought going on back there, but it sounds like something that's gonna hurt a lot of people. It's his one line. I got to give it to him. Whenever you can, you got do the right thing and let go. I mean, it's not moving super fast, but it is. It is focused on you guys and it is moving in your direction. It's following. Security office open. Yes. You guys start running down the hallway, and you find the security office and you burst inside. And you're a little bit surprised to see. I mean, you're not surprised at what it looks like in there, but you're a little bit surprised at a certain aspect of what you see inside. to the left, they have sort of like a holding cells for shoplifters, things along those lines. Right. People that they need to hold until the police can get there and do the whole thing. Whatever the case. There is an individual that is inside of the, holding cell, and he says, excuse me, Excuse me. it is quite fortuit this that you have shown up here. Could, you perchance let, me out? I've heard some noises from outside. I, heard the announcement from the police. I'm a bit cancert. Is there a ladder? U. yes. Oh, cool. Hey, so who's going first? I pointed the ladder. Are we all inside the office now? Yeah, yeah. Do the crime, do the time. I have not done any crime. It was, accident. accidentally locked my. Well, I mean, I intentionally locked myself in here because there was a freaky security guard. His face was all rotted. He had the blood riding all over him. And, he was going to get. Trying to grab me. It was very scary. So I closed the door. they're right there and they're on like a little, key holder. Sure. Him out quick. Came'going up. He seems cooler than Kevin. It's a mall. It's a mall holding cell. It's not like he's a mass murder. A ball holding only this one. That's a good point. I was gonna say this is like him. Okay. If the keys are on a key ring right next to it. This is really like mar Mayberry with, like. Yeah, it's just O is the town drunk. It's like, hey, you know, maybe like, a drunk guy comes in or some drug. Some drug dude is, like, going nuts in the mall, and they grab him and they take s back in cell, just tapping away, just t off. Oh, thank you, so much. I really appreciate it. what are you all doing? We're leaving. Oh, yeah, before that hulk comes through here. O, you gotta go last, though. You gotta keep lookout. That's fine with me. Okay, I'll go first. You're the injured one. All right, I'll start up first. How long does it take? I can use my hand, like, my left hand to hold on so I
Skylar: can climb. Yeah. But I can't, like, reach up, so it's just take me a little bit longer. But I don't see any reason why I couldn't get. Okay, so, all right, I'm up. I'm on the roof then. Yeah, I mean, you. Yeah, you. I mean, you got time to climb up there. Okay, who's next? I'll go next. Okay. Jackson, makes his way up the ladder. I mean, it's pretty easy for you. it's not even something we'th rolling for. Just to clarify, like, I mean, you're just going up a ladder. That's what it's for, Kein. Oh, man, thank you so much. Hey, you know, after we get done already. And he goes up the ladder. Have you guys you seen Paullart Mokov 2? It was terrible. Speaking of diabetics, you're next. Connor. Oh, thanks, Br. And he starts making his way up. This whole time, he's kind of, like, been busting out his camera and filming and stuff every once in a while. But anyway, he makes his way up. After he leaves. Can I say it? Connor's now glueag gone. Okay. You hate it so much. Firmly gripping my well stocked stock pot, I ascend ladder. Okay, sounds good, Dave. Dave makes it out with a one arm around a stockp pot and the other arm climbing up the ladder. But sure enough, you got your presence and you are out of them all, fatty. And, fatty. I look down at the ground where Joffrey is laying. Oh, no. We've got Joffrey. Kevin, you help Joffrey. I'm already up here. I don't know how I'm supposed to help him. I can pull him up once he gets to how to get him up up there. Is there any rope in here? So, like, how mobile is Joffrey? Or he's basically a. I mean, he can move on his own. O. That's a big baby, but it's gonna be slow. Yeah. Okay, get up there, Joffrey. Go. Okay, that's really slow. We should have made him go last. It hurts. Okay, Joffrey, hold on. hold on. you're going last. He's already two rungs up. Okay, Two rungs. Yeah, I guessap and just set him down the. I'm not dying to that hulking monster. Good, Joffre. I was gonna help a you people. I'm out of here, and I'm just climbing. I literally grabbed him off the ladder, placed himide, started climbing up. all right, so I good, dude, you know, but even made up, I can't in good consciousy. He'll follow us. He'll follow us. Barricade the door. If he can't make it up in time, at least we don't die for him. Just come on. Okay. He can climb. He's helping a lot of people going last. That's true. Help all of us. Yep. I will go up and keep a shotgun pointed down behind youre. All right. Sounds good. The meagers his way up. All right, here's what I'mnna say. You, climb up, and you may get to the top. You point your gun down. As Joffrey is starting his ascent, all of a sudden, the doors fly open and the massive hulking zombie starts to walk in. Jorey is just out of reach. But the zombie grabs onto one of the ladder rungs and reaches up. You have one chance to fire a shot and hit this thing in order to keep it back. Not Joffrey, I'm saying. So roll those dice. O. And you do have your bonus for the hunting. Yeah. Oh, dear. Okay. No, I think that'll be fine. Because with the dexterity and the bonus, we're saying at like, an 11 and 11. All right, you shoot down. I'm not going toa have your roll damage because I think basically you're just trying to keep it off of Joffrey long enough for him to make it up another couple of rungs, Kevin. And I'm assuming you probably, since you're right, There, both reach down, grab an arm, and help pull Joffrey up the rest of the way. And then slam the trap door, or whatever you want to call that, the roof door behind you. That area is locked off. Zombies don't climb things very well. The hulking zombie is trapped inside. Guys, I'm starting counting. Yeah. With my finger. we've got that French dude. No, I thought he went. Oh, no. He did. Cool. Yeah, he'll figure it out. We look down, he'back walk. And then the hoing zombie just walks up, grabs them, and just lower. I mean, you guys can't see. You don't know what's going on in there. You don't know. whatever the case. Bl. whatever the case, I would say tr. American. you guys rush, over to the other end of the rooftop of the mall. There's nothing up here. I mean, it's just rooftop. Also, there are no other people up here. Not currently. But you do rush over to the other end of the mall, and you get to the section that's above cover to cover, and there is a section that you can open up. There's a glass, like, overhang or whatever you want to call break out a window. Yeah, you break out a window. That's on the rooftop window. they have
Skylar: built up a bunch of bookshelves to kind of create sort of bookcase staircase. they climb up that and then between that and maybe some rope that they've procured, you're able to pull them up so that you can get the rest of the survivors. Oh, man, you guys never did find that little girl, though. It was. She was. She was in the kids. Like, there's like a. Like the kids play peen. No, no, no, no. There's like a tree, like a weird, like, tree decoration they put in the kids place to be like, oh, yeah, growth and learning and stuff like that. Right. She was in the little tree area. Like, literally made four kids to be inside of. So her mom managed to Clair I think is what her name was, managed to find her in this time. And so she gets out as well. I forgot about that as much as Jackson probably forgot about it. So it's not big deal. whatever the case, you pull her out, everybody, just hangs out pretty much until midnight when a couple of helicopters come down. You guys had seen out in the not too far off distance, kind of surrounding the parking lot. The military forces and whatnot. them too, may or may not have gotten bit o y. We'good yeah. They're fine. They had agarotten potatoes. That's secretly the cure. whatever the case, three helicopters land, but everybody's able to fit in two of them. one of the military guys, from the third helicopter, he kind of looks over at you guys. He says, was that of Almost or any others? We don't have time to wait. No, that's it. Let's go. There's a French man. He's French. Leave him. We don't have time to wait. So I guess it doesn't hour. But if there's only one survivor, that's not bad. They all take off. the first helicopter with, the other group of survivors in it tanks off and starts heading away. Then you guys start to take off. In roughly about the same time, the third helicopter that's empty starts to take off. And as this happens, you see the little hatch from the security room open up. And the Frenchman kind of drags himself out from inside of it and he. Yeah, like Terminator. And you see him rush over and there's a duffel bag that's sitting over right next to that exit way that he opens up and withdraws a rocket launcher. And he turns and he points it towards the empty helicopter and fires. And you can see the rocket go flying, spinning ever so slightly. Slams into the empty helicopter. Well, I say empty, it has the soldiers in it. But whatever the case, it hits the helicopter, which starts to spin crazy out of control, slamming down into the parking lot where a whole bunch of the, various, you know, soldiers and police and such were. It causes a small explosion there. Right? he kind of waves at you guys and he picks up a little like, something in his hand and he just pushes like there's a button. And you see a bunch of small explosions shatter the glasses at each one of the entrances of the mall. And zombies start to flood outwards towards the disoriented police forces, that are outside. And as you guys fly away, the last thing that you guys can see down below you is a whole bunch of undead chaos as it starts to flood out of the mall and into the city. He was the zombie master the whole time. May have been that piece of garbage. Never trust a Frenchman. I said it. And he's like, oh, he's in the M.O.L. s good. He did leave him with a zombie. Unbelievable. Oh, maybe they kiss. Ah. they were in love. It was a romance. warm bodies. That's right. All right, thank you all for listening to our all flesh must be eaten.
