This week we begin our final book of season 2: Stephen King's Masterpiece The Stand! We're chatting about chapters 1-9 of the novel in which we meet some wonderful characters that are definitely not gonna die to a superflu. Ok, let's just get this out of the way. Scott for some reason said "phlegm" wrong in this episode. I don't know why. We don't wanna talk about it. Please don't send us 20 emails.  Discussion Question: If Captain Trips were real, what would you do? (You can't just answer 'die') Next week, our coverage of The Stand continues with chapters 10-20. I really think they're gonna get a handle of this whole superflu thing Check out the show schedule:  https://tinyurl.com/yxa7lojv Support us on Patreon: https://patreon.com/doofmedia Stay updated with Kingslingers: @Kingslingerspod Message us at kingslingerspod@gmail.com Original music created by Matt Freeman: https://soundcloud.com/the-daly-planet/kingslingers-intro-ka-tet Cover artwork created by Cyrix: https://www.reddit.com/user/CyrixDrawsStuff
