Plot[]
Cold Open[]
In Mac's home, Mac and Jack are taking a selfie to mark the start of their seven-year manniversary trip to Vegas. Mac points out that they actually met seven and a half years ago, but Jack counters that the manniversary doesn't commemorate their first meeting but rather the day when Mac stopped being so annoying that Jack just wanted to choke him out. Jack tells Mac to use a lint roller and get his hat. Mac says he doesn't want to wear a hat and doesn't understand why he already has to be wearing a suit. Jack explains that real men dress like that, and it's how they should show up in Vegas. Mac complains that his suit will get wrinkled, but Jack shows him the portable steamer. Mac says that it's unnecessary, since surely they'll be called back to work immediately anyway, but Jack says that Matty has promised to give them some time off unless they're the only people standing in the way of the zombie apocalypse. Jack is very excited in spite of Mac's lack of enthusiasm.
On the road, Jack starts detailing the itinerary. Mac expresses hope that he can just relax by a pool, but Jack points out that they can do that in SoCal any time, and if they're taking a trip to Vegas then they should do stuff they can only do in Vegas. Mac starts to complain, then a van hits their vehicle.
