Good Morning Wasteland. For those of you who have heard my broadcast before,
welcome back. For everybody else, allow me to introduce myself. My name
is Jack and I am the host of the Apocalypse's only morning radio show,
Good Morning Wasteland. One day, I decided that this little end of the
world scenario that we're living through right now could use a little bit of pepping
up. So I decided to hob together all the working tech that I could
find and start a morning radio show. So, without wasting time, let's
hop right into it. Many of you might know that I live in a
little town called fig Garden. It's a town that's made out of some of
the abandoned buildings from society before the collapse. That's located in what used to
be known as Fresno, California. We have a nice, comfy little village,
a community garden, a couple of stores, and we're a pretty decent
trade stoff along the Shaw, which is one of the main thoroughfares through this
area of the Wasteland. Because I love my little town so much, I
like to bring it to the wider audience, to you who's listening right now,
and I like to give you a little bit of local news and some
news of the world around us, just so you get an idea of what
life is like for us. Starting with local news, we're gonna kick off
the day with something that Scott the whole town talking. Actually, a salesman
just rolled into town with what he claims our state of the art filtration kits.
M Maybe he set up in the town square ready to demonstrate the miracle
filters. Now, I would advise a healthy dose of skepticism people. Now,
remember we're dealing with that water pump issue, and while we're still trying
to find Dusty. Any time type of solution to clean water might be too
good to be true. These miracle cures often come with a catch, so
we'll be keeping an eye on him and any updates I'll make sure to broadcast
out to you. It's also important to stay apprized of the news and the
events of the world surrounding you, So I bring you news from the Wastelam
news stories that aren't exactly inside of fig Garden but nearby, or at least
things that I've heard that are updates on how things are happening around the world.
But word has it tensions are brewing at the great Junkyard to the east.
What's its say, you ask? Mountains of precious scrap metal, the
lifeblood of our post apocalyptic crafts and shelters and pretty much almost anything that we
put together, if fakes repair and all that kind of stuff. News is
that factions are gathering, folks, and it looks like we're on the brink
of the first ever junk yard wars. But luckily the junk yard is far
enough away from figure and that's probably not going to be a threat to us,
but it could change our flow of scrap metal in the future from various
scavengers and wandering traders. So I will let you guys know what's going on
as soon as I hear more about that. What good is a morning radio
show if I don't hear from the audience from people like you. What better
way to do that than to ask you for opinions on certain situations that we
might face in our unique world. With that that brings us to opinions outpost
now. Last time I asked this question, while scouting, you stumble upon
an irradiated bear scavenging through what appears to be an untouched pre collapse food storage
warehouse. Do you take the bear on to access the potentially valuable supplies or
do you back off if you choose to confront it. What would be your
strategy? Now, I got a couple of call ins on this one.
Let me plan for you, Hi, So I couldn't help, but notice
that you know there's you're having some issues with that that bear. And you
know, as cool as I think as it would be to just you know,
fight this bear. Yeah, yeah, you should totally just walk up
behind that bear, wrap your arms around a big, old, thick grizzly
net and just suffocate it suffocated, look into ad eyes as a gasp of
last breath, and just think to yourself, can I go through this?
And just when you think that you can't, it's already done. Of course,
you know, you just let it see it is irradiated. You might
die. Hey, you're just how about this, listener. I will leave
bear fighting up to you, and I will sit comfy here in my studio
and run the show and go work at herb Steiner right afterwards. Of course,
you fight the bear. I that's that's one of the great reasons that
I just really love to stay inside of town. My other message, let
me let me get it. Hey, if Hamish here, I'm currently floating
in this green pool of liquid. I don't think it's irradiated. I'm not.
You know, my diggar counter is and going off. My hair is
doing this weird like flowy thing. It's really cool. But you know,
anyways, for the bears a question, I don't think you should take on
one of those things regardless, because even with the paper weapons might end up
with you losing a limb. I mean, then again, you probably just
go into an radiated pool and going back, but the m I go back
backwards or sways. Anyways, Yeah, I wouldn't take on those things.
They are really dangerous in there, ugly. So yeah, alright, I'm
gonna keep that, you know, talking. My heart is we're slowly thing
in the rain pool. Again, probably not radiated, but uh do you
think I forget that that? I well, good Hamish. For those of
you that don't know, Hamish is an old friend of mine and kind of
a semi resident of this town. Hamish, what are you doing? How
do you get yourselves in these situations? First off, why aren't you answering
my calls? I've been trying to hail you on the radio for a while
and you don't answer, but apparently you're listening to the show enough to answer
questions. I'm very confused and very concerned for you. We can't have you
dying again, buddy. So you're supposed to be on your way back to
town, get back to fit garden safely, non irradiated, and you know,
in any case, Hamish, I do agree with you. I would
not fight the bear, unlike our previous caller. I would back away.
I would continue to eat a re radiated food rather than risk getting torn open
limb from limb by a three armed bear. I'm good with that. So
that brings us to the new question for the week for you listening right here,
right now, I have a question for you or scenario, and I
want to know your opinion on it. Let's say you discover a well supplied
but abandoned shelter, but just as you're about to enter, a lone survivor
rolls up to you, weapons not raised, but held, and they claim
that it is theirs, but they had to leave temporarily. Do you share
the shelter or do you claim it for your own? Citing the law of
the wasteland. Do you give it up entirely and just walk away? How
do you negotiate this delicate situation? And I know you survivors out there,
you've got to have an opinion, whether you just crawled out of a bunker
or you've been surviving in the wasteland for a while. I know you have
an idea of how you would handle this. So give us a call and
let me know. The number is in the info for this broadcast. Get
your radios, give it a ring, let me voicemail. I want to
know what you got to say, how you would handle the situation. Now,
a show like this can't run without ads. What are ads? You
might say to me, Well, they help keep the lights on the radio
equipment running. Today we have one from a local fig guardian, Jasper Cole.
He kind of runs the local community garden. I'm gonna leave you to
it and play the recording you gave me. Hey, folks are big garden
Jack sper Cole here. So you know, I was thinking, not everyone's
got the knack for well boken around in the dirt, right, But that's
okay because this Saturday at my place, well new community garden, not my
personal place. Obviously, we're kicking off some workshops for you know, growing
stuff, food mainly not weird stuff. Anyway, whether you kill cacti or
just want to get your hands dirty without getting in trouble, we've got you
covered. I'll show you the ropes, which is a figure speech. There
won't be actual ropes unless you're in the vine plants, so come on down.
It'll be fun in a plant sort of way. Bring your own gloves
if you don't want to use mine, not that there's anything wrong with my
gloves. See you there, please, Well, there you're having folks.
Jasper Cole. Don't let his way with words dissuade you. He's actually a
really nice guy. Plus he works really hard to keep us all fed in
the mostly mostly safe vegetable department. Now to bring to you one of my
favorite people in all of fig Garden, Marshall. I've had him on the
show before, but he wants to make another public service announcement. Let me
just get a connection and we are good to go. All right, Marshall,
you are on Hello Jack right. You know how less time I was
on the show, I talked about the front gate being unlocked, being left
open late night after the sun went down. Yeah, I remember right.
Well, it seems those same little empty brains are also leaving us sad access
doors open. These access doors are very important. First off, they're really
only supposed to be used by Fig Garden security or town council. Most of
you people know that, and yet keep find of them unlocked. I know,
I know, it's easy. It's convenient. You've got to go outside
the east side of town or maybe in the north when you don't feel like
taking a gate to the shore and then walking all the way around. So
these little access doors might make it easy, pop it open, walk out
to carry business, but it is not safe if you people are leaving them
unlocked. We need to have a secure wall around town or it ain't much
pointing it is there. One of the reasons Fig Garden has survived as long
as it has is because we have this wall. We don't respect the wall,
we don't respect the town. Well said aha, with that comes my
duty as your security officer. I mentioned to you. Now we have been
having increased radio activity in the surrounding lens around Fig Garden. Now there's no
reason to assume that they're going to target Fig garden next. Now the wall,
this glorious wall might just be enough to get them to turn around on
site. A lot of easier pickings out there. They're settlements that don't take
security as a priority, not us, though that doesn't guarantee that they won't
come for us. With the increased sightings and reports of attacks around the town
and all of these doors being unlocked and the gate being open, downs at
a pretty high risk. I might say, please be extra cautious when it
comes to the doors at the gates. Keep things locked. If you don't
have security access, don't touch the access doors. Yeah, do my best
people will keep you all safe. So got a little effort in return for
me, and just close the damn doors behind you. You can manage that.
The absolutely Come on, folks, let's do Marshall a solid and close
the door behind us. Most of us were not raised in a bar and
we know how to close doors. We all know that if we don't close
the door, it herbs all day diner, we're likely to get a scolding.
No scratch, it guaranteed to get a scolding. And maybe Marshall needs
to start doing the same thing. I will have had though, But we
all know, Marshall, he wouldn't want to, right, I don't know.
Maybe just close the doors and help him out. Next thing I want
to mention is the search for Dusty continues again. If anyone has seen him,
please let us know when they define this bloke and get him back so
he can fix our pump. Have you heard from him, Jan, anything
at all? No, not at all. I've reached out a little bit.
I went to his shop. Didn't find much. Uh, But I
just I haven't seen him yet. I hope he shows up soon. Yes,
so do I One last thing that I want to say to town proper.
If anyone has come upon any unique mugs from the Wandering Traders, let
me know why are you looking for clue or something? Is it connected to
a crime? No? Oh, then then why do you need them?
I collect them? Oh? Okay? Right? Also, war watch dooty,
Jack, I want to mention I did my ward watch duty. I
did. I signed up and I did it. No, Jack, the
name warwatch doty has a bit of a specific word in there, right,
has word war in it. It can be war watched dooty. If you're
on the ground the whole time, doesn't matter. If you walk the perimeter
of the town. If you're on the inside, on the ground, the
point is you need to be up on the wall so you can look outside
and report any income in friends. You know, I don't like heights.
It's so you collect the mugs. Huh. That's an interesting thing for a
guy of your your stature, your uh. We don't need to get into
it. Just let me know if you want an interesting ones. Citizens.
Have a good day, Marshall. Okay, well, thanks for coming on
the show, buddy. I really really appreciate it. I will do my
best to be a good citizen next time and do well watch duty correctly.
Now, as many of you know, like I mentioned earlier, I have
a messaging system set up for you to call into. The number as mentioned
will be attached to the info of this broadcast. Feel free to call in
say hi, let me know what you're going through and your little slice of
the apocalypse, or don't be afraid to call in and give your opinion to
the town council. In fact, the town council is now deciding on a
strategy of how to get a water tower that once we do fix the water
pump, we can now store water and we don't have this current thirsty little
situation that we're dealing with right now. So they are deciding to either buy
one from a settlement called Settlement ninety nine or send an expedition down south to
an old manufacturing plant that used to make them. It's up to the town
council they vote, but you can call in and let them know give your
opinion on that. What do you think would be best for the citizens of
fig Garden. However, I do have a message that was left forming.
He's got kind of a message for anyone listening here. You go, absolutely
friend, IM happy to help you with Herb. He can get a little
cantankerous. I don't think Herb listens to this. And if you are Herb,
that was a joke. I'll be into work soon now. For everybody
else, if you are out there exploring the wasteland and you find any of
the mushrooms that or the fun guy that we mentioned, call in. Let
us know where you found it, give us a description on where it was.
Maybe any of the dangers that we can expect going out there. Not
we, not me, but you know anyone else that's gonna go out there
in harvests call in let us know again. I want to thank you all
for being so patient with me getting the ironing out the issues and starting a
new broadcast like this. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I
really hope to start hearing from more of you all out there in the wasteland.
I know that together we can get our stories told and create something beautiful.
And today I'm gonna leave you with the song by Virginia Listen called Titanic
Blues. I'm off to sling coffee at herbs all day diner, You listener,
you have yourself a good day. I'll talk to you later. Jack,
Jack, are you in your shack or you in your shack? Please
tell me you order, Please answer the radio or a man. I've been
calling everybody else. No one else is answered. I don't got much battery
left. Hell, Jack, I've been out of here scapping for something,
and I gotta tell you I found something. And I think the gardens in
danger. Someone's sading right for us. We gotta do something bout the queen,
Oh nor my way. I didn't say that stars my clock, I
