Hi guys, just setting up a really calm environment for us today. Oh good, I'm gonna go nuts in here. I love a nice calm environment for me to go nuts in. No, we're just trying to get you to not act like a wild animal. I'm just gonna make some chamomile tea. Adel, I'm gonna tuck you in in a cozy blanket. Tuck, tuck, tuck, tuck, tuck. Is there like an area in here where it's like you don't want me to go nuts in or should I be able to like freely go nuts everywhere? I would say stay calm all over this place. Yeah, I'd say that's my advice. Stay calm all over this place. All over this place. Go nuts all over this place? Adel, how am I communicating wrong here? What am I doing wrong? I think you're not supposed to look JPCs directly in the eye. I think they find that to be like a challenge. Oh no, I already did. Oh god. I'm going nuts. I'm getting eye contact. This is making me nuts. It's okay, you're okay. Oh, someone's going nuts over there too. Okay, got a little nuts compatriot. Oh, I was trying to calm him down like an animal. You know what, I give up. Go nuts wherever you want. What is the patriarchal sense that you can sort of do whatever? Be one honeycomb? How's everyone doing? How's morale? Moral, personal morale, high. Geopolitical morale, low. Low, low, low, low, low. Well, let's distract you by talking about something that is certainly not in the horizon. And going nuts, going nuts, going nuts, please, please, please. These apocalypse. Uh-oh. Uh-oh. So, I love and get very jealous of JPCs episodes where we do, what do you call it? Draft pings. Draft. Um, I get jealous of it. It's very fun to be in those episodes. I love them a lot. And I thought, why not give JPC the gift of getting to be in one of these? Oh, I get the draft. A giraffe? I get a giraffe. Yeah, you get a giraffe. The raft made of giraffe? It's a giraffe. It's a raft made out of giraffe parts. Adel, good eye. Good eye. Good eye? Before we begin, what is some of your favorite media that involves the end of the world, the apocalypse? The newest X-Men movie that had Oscar Isaac, I guess. I guess he was technically in that, right? He was in the apocalypse. Inside Lou and Davis? Let's see. I feel like when nowadays, when you bring up the apocalypse, you kind of naturally slot in the zombie apocalypse. Like I feel like everybody calls apocalypse and zombie apocalypse like synonymous. I'm in the apocalypse now. Apocalypse now. What's the Seth Rogen one that this is the end? Oh, yeah. One. I enjoyed that one. I also read that, like the whole thing is about like dysfunctional friend groups. And I heard that there were like some people in that movie that like personally just didn't get along with each other, which I always thought was very funny because. Very meta. Yeah, it's like it's meta on the meta on the meta. Like it's anyway, it's because they I think they all hate Danny McBride's character kind of in that movie because he's always wrecking shit. Yeah. But yeah, I like that movie. I think that that's a fun movie. What other apocalypse movies are there? What's the one with all the like Jake Gyllenhaal and it's like Earth, Frozowa or something? Is that 2012? That's the day after tomorrow. That's the day after tomorrow. Don't you legit enjoy that movie? I love that movie and Adal. Thank you for remembering. I love any movie where someone's coming to go get someone else who's in an emergency. Yeah. I love it. It's almost every movie. I know and I love it so much. It's fun. It's fun to think that there's someone out there who will rescue us. It is nice. I know it's bleak right now, but somewhere in a event John McClane is crawling around being like, go to LA, have a few drinks, meet some nice people. Okay. So before we even begin on this, I'm going to need Casey, Tony to make a choice. Adal or me? You have to pick. You have to pick. Who do you shoot? I'm going to give you kind of some standard apocalypse types. And Casey, you're going to decide which apocalypse we are doing today. Okay. Okay. Cool. Okay. Climate catastrophe, like day after tomorrow type thing. Good answer. Good answer. Family feud, good answer. Good answer. Alien occupation. Oh. Like a disease, pandemic collapse, not zombies. We asked a hundred people what would be an occupation for an alien. We have four answers on the board. Good answer. Good answer. But doctor. But doctor. Number one answer. 100%. The other three were just jokes. Zombies, the fast kind and zombies, the slow kind. Casey, what flavor of apocalypse are they preparing for today? I think I have to go with option two, alien occupation because I want to hear the lore. I feel like there's going to be some good lore that could come out of that. Okay. Great. We are dealing with an alien occupation. What I like about alien occupation is some of these seem a little too real, but if we're doing alien and zombies, I think I can suspend, I think I can use some whimsy in this. Whereas if we're doing climate catastrophe, I'm like, uh-oh, that's like, I'm actually technically doing that one right now and I'm just going to sit at my house, use my lights and shit. All the bees are gone, man. I love that. And quiet place is a good example, I think, of an alien one. Rocky Horror Picture Show. Yes. Hey, Aaron, hey, JPC, can you guys help me figure something out? Oh, sure. Always. Yeah. I have this charge, I pull up my bank account here. I have this charge that says JPC tax $5,000. It's like a monthly deduction. Oh, yes. That should be good. Yeah, it should be good. No, no, I go to your Rocket Money app and have them cancel that for you. Oh, thank God. We signed up for the free trial like three months ago and then we forgot about it and I noticed it. I got like a ping for Rocket Money on my email and they let me know that I had been paying for the DPC. Lost another one to Rocket Money. Oh, man, yeah.

Yeah, I love Rocket Money, but Aaron, I do hate that voice. Was that JPC? It sounded like a Rumpelstiltskin type voice. Did you hear that? Yeah. No, so that's just like, that's a voice alert I have on my phone every time someone unsubscribes to the JPC tax. I don't know where it's from or how to turn it off. Oh, that's kind of scary.

Lost another one to Rocket Money. Yeah, that's not even coming from your phone. Yeah, I don't know. Is that coming from inside of our heads maybe? Yeah, like heaven maybe? Yikes, blakes. Okay, well, let me just do my final measurements here. Everything seems even. Check the doors. Addle? Erin? I have, using my skills as a woodworker, have crafted a well-built wardrobe. A magical one where you can go into a magical world? No, I tried it. It's just wood. But it's well-built. GPC, when we said every adult should have sort of a well-built wardrobe, we didn't mean like the actual frame, like an actual wooden wardrobe. We went like in a quince way, like, you know, like having a lot of adult, well-made. The quality clothing that lasts. Quality pieces that work together, they hold up over time. You know, that's what quince does best. We told you that. Organic cotton sweaters, polos for every occasion, lighter jackets that keep you warm in the changing season. I have a raincoat from them that I love. GPC, I held you down sort of clockwork orange style and held open your eyes. I showed you that quince's premium materials, thoughtful design and everyday staples feel easy to wear and they're easy to rely on, even as the weather shifts in Chicago. This is making sense now, because I was like, you were talking about how quince works directly with top factories and cuts out the middleman so you're not paying for brand markup, just quality clothing. That's what you said. And that's what you were doing with my eyes. And can I be honest with you, I did not build that well of a wardrobe. I mean, this thing is pretty loose. No, hey. No, it's pretty loose. Hey, what? No, it's not. You can knock it over with a feather. Oh, a nail just went right through my thumb. That's the best case scenario. They only partner with factories that meet rigorous standards for craftsmanship and ethical production. I love their home stuff. I love their clothes. I can always count on them for the best quality.

He came with the thing. I found about five. Okay. Now, Casey, at the end of this, you are going to decide who you think is more likely to survive. Okay. Have I told you guys my... I never saw Quiet Place 2. Did anyone see Quiet Place 2? I did. Okay. How was it, Erin? I thought it was... I thought the opening sequence was really incredible and then the rest is pretty missable. And then there was also Bird Box. Was that another one that was like a quiet place? Sandra Bullock? Sandra Bullock. That was a huge deal when that came out. It was like she was blind or something? I never saw that one. They had to wear blindfolds. Oh, that's right. That's right. I saw Quiet Place in theaters and it's not the kind of movie that I enjoy seeing at all. I think it could have been in the era of movie pass or when I was signed up for that monthly movie thing where you could just see as many movies as you want, something like that. But I saw it at an AMC in River North and that AMC is right by the highway and the whole movie is very quiet, but that AMC is by the highway. And so when you're sitting in the movie, you could just hear like... Just like nonstop traffic noise throughout this silent film and I was like, oh, this ruins it. This makes the movie not good. It's only good to see it in Quiet. Now imagine that's every movie and you're in 1923. So for a lot of these categories, you're going to be given five options and you're going to pick two, but for some of them, you only get one. Should we keep track of our own... Yes, if you can, if it's not too much trouble and I'll do a coin flip. It is too much trouble, so I want a trophy for doing it. I'll bring you someone's head. Okay, writing down, I could win head. Nope. Excellent. I hope it's from me. Okay, so... Aaron, I'm ready. I'm ready. Yeah. All right. So, Adda, we'll have you call the coin flip. And would you like to... Yeah, and the assumption is that if you win, you get to go first. All right, here we go. Heads. It's flipping. It's flipping in its heads. Adda, you get to go first. Fuck. Okay, I quit. Writing down Adda won head. Okay, you're definitely not surviving in the epaulets. So I have to give Adda a head. Okay. I'm locked in. One, two, three, four, hate riddles, riddles, glue crew.
