Chapter 1: What humorous moments kick off the apocalypse discussion?
James, I am wet right now.
Right. Get ready for bridesmaid duties. Very cute. Very false advertising, apparently.
Oh, we're not doing as well as you, but we're trying our best over here.
You're always convincing me to take the high road. And I know for a fact I would have been happier if I just nutted them at the time.
Are we going to do this? Because I'll do this. You want to get nuts? Let's get nuts.
Right, Claire.
Yeah.
We're here.
We are.

Chapter 2: How do the Buckleys view wedding dilemmas amidst the apocalypse theme?
Oh, good.
Do you have a song that you just... Because I've got a couple. And you just sort of start humming a song. I've got a couple. One of them, I've forgotten one of them.
One of them is... I don't know what you're talking... What do you mean?
What is the context here? Because I said, you know, when I'm just going about my business.
Yeah.
And I've got one, haven't I?
You've got a lot that you do.
I've got one especially.
That you sing all the time? Yeah.

Chapter 3: What unique theories about the end of the world are presented?
I'd do it for ages and ages and ages. What is that? That's got to be some sort of fucking, that's got to be some mental thing.
Yeah, it is. Yeah. Yeah.
Because even I'm going.
I think it's called eritonitis.
No, but it's been going on for decades.
Yeah. Yeah.
They'll just do that. They'll just sort of hum that song.
Yeah.
It's a good song though.

Chapter 4: How do the Buckleys feel about survival strategies in apocalyptic scenarios?
Anyway.
So, Claire... You know, we like to, we don't always achieve it, but we like to be light and entertaining. And, you know, we just, we see ourselves as a, we don't talk about the real stuff. We like to just talk about the stuff that annoys us, the real stuff to us, right?
Sure.
Do you know what I'm talking about?
Yeah. I mean, you get into stuff, but sure.
Sure. Can I talk to you about the end of the world?
Sure.
Absolutely. That's my favourite scenario.
Yes, so listen.

Chapter 5: What insights do they share about their own apocalypse preparedness?
He said the end of the world would be May 21st, 2011.
2011.
It didn't, obviously.
Well, you know there's a theory that the world did end. Well, there is a theory that the world... Yeah, you got me. There was a turning point somewhere, and I think it was 2012, there was a point where everybody sort of agrees that everything kind of changed slightly and there was stuff that some people remembered and the other people... There was some sort of watershed.
There was some sort of split...
somewhere around about 2012 and apparently this is a different this is a different dimension we've went into we're in a different dimension yeah i think so yeah is there any can you give us any examples of any why people think that no because it sounds to me like yeah yeah that's yeah it just felt a bit different yeah felt a bit different there's also another theory that we all died right and none of this is real
Okay. But it is end of the world day, May 21st, 2011.
May 21st?
Yes. Why?

Chapter 6: What entertaining trivia game do the Buckleys play?
Sometimes I worry.
Yeah.
Depends how tolerant you are. Oh, there's a thing here. The theory that Claire is talking about is known as the block universe theory.
Okay.
As the theory goes, the four-dimensional block universe contains everything that ever has, ever will happen at once. Time doesn't actually pass. There are just specific moments, and they're all happening at the same time, even though you may only be experiencing one of them. This means that on some plane of time, yes, you are already dead. Right, this is the kind of stuff that freaks me out.
Right, but also... That I can't get my head around.
But then also, isn't there the theory that there is an alternate... There's an alternate for everything, right?
There's the multiverse.
So there is a universe where we exist exactly the same way.

Chapter 7: What disaster movies do the Buckleys discuss during the quiz?
But, yeah, no, I'm not... I can't... Getting my head round. There's so much about space. And I'm not just talking about myself. Space and time and all that sort of stuff. There's stuff that, you know, the big old... The clever clogs on this planet. The proper clever people that still can't get their head round. So sometimes I'm just a bit like, why should I bother?
Oh, no, don't bother. I wouldn't try and understand any of it.
But... Yeah, I do. No, I just... Are you okay? I'm all right, yeah, but I just... You sure? I think about all this nonsense, but I don't have the intelligence to cope with it.
Well, don't worry about it. It's fine.
But I do worry about it, Claire.
It's fine. Do you want to have a curry tonight?
Yes.
Right, there you go. You see? You're happy again.
Brilliant.

Chapter 8: How do the Buckleys wrap up their reflections on the apocalypse theme?
So how do you think the world will end? Again, so we just touched on it then. That's not a cut and dry question because what are you talking about? How will humanity end?
Or the earth.
Or the earth.
All right, well, humanity then. Let's say the earth outlives us, which it probably will.
Right?
Well, just... How do you think humans will come to an end? I switch between... Do you think it'll be like an asteroid again? Do you think it'll be some sort of virus? Could be weather? Could be... There's a whole load of things that could take us out in a second.
Yeah. Right. I think that, and I'm going to be very positive here, that in some way or another... Human beings, I don't know how many of them, even though there might be some sort of tragedy that wipes out, I don't know, 99%.
Yeah, so me and the other guys, what will we do?
I think the thing that we do good as a species is we adapt and we overcome and we do eventually survive.
