Stephen says that it was amazing watching the 18-wheeler truck try to get down the neighborhood road and compliments the driver's skills. The furniture is finally here! Stephen mentions that the delivery person made sure to call them twice this time before delivery. They haven't checked to see if everything is accounted for and not damaged yet. Stephen was grateful that the delivery people carried all the furniture into the house for them. They ordered a couch, a desk for Stephen, a coffee bar, and some other small things. Stephen says that their plans for today are to record The Walking Dead and build furniture.

Later, they played through the entirety of the last season of The Walking Dead. Stephen said that the recording process was very frustrating as the computer kept crashing. GarageBand also gave him an error that he had never seen before. They didn't have to re-record part of the game, but they had to replay through a part of the game that they already played in order to continue the game. This meant that they had to try and remember all the choices they had made during that part of the game.

Stephen says that this was his fault since for all other seasons of The Walking Dead he had a backup system where he would backup save files on the computer. This way if something bad happened, then they could go back and reload back to where they were in the game. However, since he hasn't had to use this backup system for any of the other seasons he had previously recorded, he decided not to use the backup system this time. Stephen talks about how this is one of the series where he can't get help from comments since that would spoil the story. So, they usually just play through the whole game. He says that he wouldn't want the input anyway since this is a playthrough with just himself and Mallory.

They weren't able to build any furniture today, but Mal did put away some of the smaller things. Stephen says that they decided to unwrap some of the plastic on the furniture before going to bed since the dump truck was coming to pick up the trash tomorrow. Mal says that she ordered another side table since she took the other one for her art studio. Stephen says that he doesn't mind having a house full of Ikea furniture. Despite the issue with the delivery, he still likes Ikea because their prices are good and they have cinnamon rolls that only cost 99 cents. Stephen briefly mentions that he's not feeling well and hopes that it will just go away by tomorrow.
