Will dressed as Matt Foley, motivational speaker
V. Interview with Will (00:46:45)
Q: What would you put in your space ship?
A: Rations, oxygen, pictures of his family, a copy of “The Empire Strikes Back,” and Ed.
Q: Let’s say, somehow, you can be granted any super power in the world. Which one would you pick?
A: Super speed. He would use his powers to help people and to get around. His super hero name would either be “Super Will” or “Billy The Flash.”
Q: If you could time travel anywhere, where and when would it be?
A: He would go back to 1994 so that he could see Green Day perform “back in the day.” If he had a second choice, he’d probably go see what the deal is about Jesus.
Our friend, James, who is well-prepared for the zombie apocalypse.
Q: You wake up and realize that you’ve been abducted by aliens. What do you do?
A: Say, “Oh shit!” Scream. Possibly have a heart attack. Beg and plead for them not to hurt him.
Q: Describe in detail your first day of the zombie apocalypse.
A: The first thing that would go through his mind would be, “Oh shit, it happened.” Then, he would participate in the zombie apocalypse survival plan that our friend James has worked out. Will is not allowed to reveal the exact nature of the plan because a.) the creators of the plan don’t want Rag-NERD-rok listeners to interfere with it, and b.) we are apparently not a part of it.
VI. Outro (01:04:45)
