Summary
Stephen starts by saying it is Monday and the first day of class for the quarter. He then says he is going to be eating at Clary's and that Alex has been playing Shadow Complex for hours. Stephen is later eating at Clary's with his parents. He explains it is a "tradition" to eat there with his parents before they return home, and that he always gets a a sausage and cheddar omelette with potatoes.

Stephen goes to his first class, and when it is over he explains that he will not film during class because he doesn't want to be the guy who takes out his camera during class, and he also is sure it is not allowed. Stephen says he thinks that will make the vlogs at school less interesting since he'll be "leaving out the school part of school" and that he will try to make them interesting.

The next scene takes place in the car while Stephen and his roommates going to Wal-Mart. Stephen films Alex answering the question of what 3 people he's want with him in a zombie apocalypse. Alex first decides on picking a really fat guy and picks John Goodman. He then picks Bill Clinton and Buzz Aldrin. Stephen asks how their skills would be helpful in a zombie apocalypse. Alex proceeds to answers and realizes Bill Clinton would be useless and replaces him with Ulysses S. Grant. He explains that Ulysses S. Grant would get drunk and shoot a ton of zombies, John Goodman would eat them and become a zombie, but the fat in his body would allow him to still be consciously human, and Buzz Aldrin would build a rocket to go to the moon and chill out. Stephen says that he would have picked his parents and his girlfriend, and his cat too if there was room.

Later at Wal-Mart Dan is looking at the many choices of hangers. He is a bit upset that they are only sold in small quantities. Stephen grabs some paper and finds they are 3 cents per sheet. The vlog ends with Stephen in his room saying he is tired and going to bed.

Quotes

 * Alex: “This isn't bad because if we die in a car crash there will be a video record of what happened. Although if I hit anybody with this car you delete that right away.“
 * Alex: “John Goodman would eat them and become a zombie, but the fat in his body would dampen the effect of the zombie toxins so he would only become a half zombie. He would have super-human strength but he would still be consciously human, and he would be able to commune with the zombies and...corrale them into his mouth.
 * Stephen: “...because when you posed the question you were like 'everyone else in the world will DIE!'
 * Alex: “Not only that, but they'll be raped by a bear.“
