First and foremost, your hosts here at Double Tap: The Zombie Hour would like to remind you about the ongoing war here at KJACK. You can read more about it here. We need to make sure Team Zombie wins! Remember, listeners, if Team Zombie wins, you win; your hosts will do something awesome as a reward. Though, really, isn't being able to hear our beautiful voices reward enough?
This week, your glorious hosts here at Double Tap: The Zombie Hour discuss the best way to assemble a zombie survival team. Unfortunately, Ellis--undeniably the best host of this and, truly, any radio show in existence--is too busy pulling some shenanigans with Keith to attend, but luckily, we've all called Zoey 2.0 back in to guest host. We know it won't even be close to the same as having beautiful, perfect Ellis, but Zoey 2.0 can at least try. What? No, Ellis isn't writing this. What a dumb thing to say.
To recap last week, your hosts discussed the prevalence of zombies in nerd culture. The discussions included:
- What kick started the zombie craze? Your hosts debated whether the main cause of the current zombie trend in society was caused by The Zombie Survival Guide, Left 4 Dead, Shaun of the Dead, or others.
- The widespread crazy of making a zombie survival plan. From evidence drawn by an anecdote that was recently told to Ellis by KJACK's own lovely Miss Dana Bruhn, it would seem that making a zombie survival plan is a world-wide fad.
- Zombie events. Your hosts also discussed how the zombie craze has led to tons of zombie-centered events. Most prominently, these feature zombie proms and the wide-scale game Humans vs. Zombies.
This week, your hosts discuss how to assemble a zombie survival team. Think you need to bring along your grandma? Hopefully, you're not thinking of using her for anything other than live bait. Hoping to bring along that super hot chick to show her your zombie-killin' skillz? That's hilarious. Now, if you're a parent, you're probably thinking that your main priority is to save your kid, which is incredibly valiant and sweet of you, but, well...
Don't be fooled. He doesn't like turtles more than he likes brains.

As always, we leave you with our zombie rule of the week, and we remind you to stay silent, stay safe, stay armed, and stay alive.
Zombie rule #10: Be a hipster. Get a bike.
Fuel is limited and hard to come by if you’re always moving. Cars are also loud, and windows are easier to break into than you’d think. Besides, you’ll look totally fly on that fixed-gear bike, you freaking hipster.
