Speaker 1 (00:28):
Well, hello everybody. I am Jack and this is way
for strangers, and as always I am joined by my
wonderful co host and Drew.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
Hey, how's it going.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
I don't like the energy there. You need to bring
it up. She needs to dial it up. No, she
remind me of fucking oh man. This is such a
deep cut from Philly childhood. But do you remember Star
one of four point five? Yeah, between the sheets between
it was like after after eleven pm on Star one
(01:06):
or four point five, there would be like between the sheets,
like and your voice is giving off that calm not
necessarily sexy, And that's none of your no fault of
your own, because I don't think you're going for that
right now. Whereas Star one of four point five certainly
did they do that because between the sheets. But yeah,
(01:26):
and then they always played the same song at eleven
eleven pm. It was wild. It was wid. You had
to be there, anyway to be there. Yeah, would you stop?
Speaker 2 (01:35):
This is Star one oh four point five, Philadelphia up next,
Boys to Men.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
Wow, that's probably exactly I know I heard that at
least one point yeah, because we're between the sheets.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
Baby cool. Oh hey everyone, it's me. I'm back Oh
my god.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
All right, so I talked about the eagle cam over
on our pre show. I'm not going to talk about
they're they're great, they're growing wonderfully, but they're testing the
boundaries of the baby gates, I e branches and it's
stressed me the fuck out. But I did pay slash
donate ten dollars to the friendso Big Bear Valley dot
(02:19):
org so that I could put in name choices for
these two babies. And if you paid ten dollars, you
got three name suggestions.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
So my first one, no, God damn it, I'll do
it again.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
I have no You can pay five dollars for one
name suggestion, and I will do that. But because again
it's all money that goes to like the best cause. Okay,
but nobody will get that that won't win. But we
can rally our entire audience, that's true. Oh my gosh.
Everyone go to friends of Big Bear Valley dot org
(02:59):
and click on the name Chick two and Chick three
because unfortunately Chick one was the one that passed away.
That's what we've decided. And she was named already after
someone who was a very strong volunteer and supporter of
fobbv and who had passed away of cancer. So I
love that dedication for her, Misty. They named the chick Misty.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
But I.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
So, I'll tell you, okay, do you want to guess
at any suggestions or do you want me to just
tell you two and then you guess one.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
That you put in?
Speaker 3 (03:36):
Yeah, all right, I'm gonna get it's probably some nerdy
assh shit. I'm guessing one of them is probably Joel, Yes,
and then I'm guessing the other one. You know, you
got two other I'm gonna go with a pair, maybe
Sam Orfrodo.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
Well, there's only two chicks.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
Yeah, No, I'm just saying, I'm yeah, you got three
name options, so I'm gonna say, sure one of them
is Sam or Frodo.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
No, how about I did I did on that route? No? No,
I did think it.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
No, Lord of the Rings, unbelievable Ellie. Did you go
with Ellie? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (04:14):
Okay, but they're siblings and that's family.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
I know. That's what I'm saying. That's okay, that's that
tracks uh. And then the third name Steve from Minecraft.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
Maybe okay, I'm going to put you in my frame
of mind.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
All right.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
Initially I was going to do Rudy Sean Aston's movie
Rudy because he was an underdog boy and he and
he survived well, he made it to what he wanted
to do. And I'm not going to spoil but there's
a wonderful chance.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
With spoilers for Rudy.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
Yeah, an easily thirty year old movie based on real
life spoilers.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
Still, I try to be mindful, but I was gonna
go Rudy. But then I was like, think of other
underdog fictional characters that I love and that and that
has to apply to Chick three because he was born
so late and he is a little feisty fighter.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
Yeah, it's Rocky, It's Rocky.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
I but I put in the full name.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
I was like, Rocky.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
Me.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
And he takes a fucking beating from the fack older
chick and and he and he still initiates and and
will and he'll pop back up and I'm like, you
get hit. Yeah, that's the best quote. Don't you dare
make fun of it. I quote that ship all the
time in my head when I'm having rough days. It
ain't about how hard you hit, It's about how hard
(05:47):
you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much
you can take and keep moving forward. That's how winning
is done.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
Chesty. Really the movie it's.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
Just called yeah, Rocky Balboa.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
Yeah, technically Rocky six, I guess right.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
Yeah, Rocky five sucked ass. So you could really watch
one through four, skip five.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
One and then go to six two six creed and
that's it.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
Absolutely the fun.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
That is the That's what I would call the chopping
block order for Rocky.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
No vehemently disagree. So anyway, I donated money to the
FOBBV to name the shakes. Joel rock got it, Yeah, Joel,
Ellien rochiy. I love it, and I doubt any of
the names will get picked. And that's okay because they
take the most popular names with the most votes and
(06:47):
then they put like give it to a third, fourth,
and fifth graders to vote at the local elementary school.
And I can't see if like a fourth grader being like,
I like the name Joel, you know what I mean,
Ellie might might win maybe.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
Sure, but I mean Jackie one, And that's not to
diminish your name. But the kids were like, true, Jackie
is the name of this egal you know? And where
did they get that from?
Speaker 2 (07:15):
Was that? You know that that's probably just what they
came up with.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
But I feel like, no, that was the same thing.
Like everyone donates a certain amount of money and recommends
a name. How many people recommended the name Jackiet?
Speaker 3 (07:27):
Yeah right, that's the thing presented with options. I feel like,
you know, if you ask a kid to name a thing,
they're going to name a thing based off They're going
to be like, you know, I don't know what whatever,
They'll be like it's bluey or bandit, right, which are
also fine names for birds and dogs whatever. But if
you're like you have to choose from this list of
(07:48):
pre approved names, you know, that's like when you ask
the Internet to name something, it's always going to be
something mixed some face, you know, like body mc.
Speaker 4 (07:58):
Boat face, yeah, you know, and r canny McGee, canny McGee,
canny mccannface.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
You know it's gonna be that, right.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
So you know, if they hear Rocky, even if they've
never seen Rocky, that's just a cool name.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
It's true. It is true, and that little chick does
take a beating, but he gets right back.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
I mean they don't again, they don't have that context
probably unless you know the I think their parents are
letting you know.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
I just don't think of like Rocky as a parable
as a story lands for people until you're a little older.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
All Right, I'm fine.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
Maybe their parents love boxing movies. Maybe it's just like
all we watch this House is Rocky and Raging Bowl
and South Paul.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
Maybe maybe, and that if it makes it into the pool,
I'm banking on some children being like Rocky is a
that's a cool fun name this say, like, even if
they're thinking of rocks like, I don't care.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
Rocky the.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
Rocky the Eagle sounds amazing, doesn't it. As I'm saying is, guys,
if you have like a spare five dollars and you
want to donate it to this wonderful organization to get
a chance to name one of these precious bundles of love,
go to Friends of Big Bear Valley dot org and
recommend the name Rocky.
Speaker 4 (09:25):
Please, for the love of God, you're gonna You're gonna
the system, I understand.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
So gotta you gotta gotta do what you gotta do.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
So anyway, that's a that's our.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
That's our that's our show. That's our show for today. Everybody.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
Hopefully someone gets a bingo soon. Oh my god, we did.
We talked about the ego can. We talked about Lord
of the Rings. We talked about I can't remember now
because my brain is empties.
Speaker 3 (09:59):
Once some we just have to shuffle up. I feel
like we just got to create thirteen cards, fifteen card,
nineteen cards, and then then we assign. We say card
number twelve is the one that will go randomly, we
pick a card, any card, and then you got to
get bingo based off of that.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
Yeah, if you guys don't know what we're talking about,
go to Instagram, dot com, slash tlu podcasts, where I
posted the bingo, the bingo game, the wonderful bingo game
that acclimatize. I hope it's okay if I use your name.
Bradley submitted to us, and then I did a separate
(10:41):
template which I posted to stories and then I will
highlight that on our page permanently, so you guys can
go screenshot it and create your own and send us
some submissions just for fun, because we like to have
fun on this podcast along with all the seriousness.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
There's got to be a website where you could just
plug in the design and then all of these you know,
so it.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
Took me a really long time.
Speaker 3 (11:04):
Yeah, but well we'll figure it out. Maybe it's just
like a canva. Maybe we just create like a canva
and then we just drag and drop the names like
all over the place or something.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
We'll figure it out.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
Sure, And we can link people to that too, so
they have like instant access.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
To it, right, Yeah, here, you do.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
Well, no, because they might want to put in their
own prompts.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
I know, that's what I'm saying. Yeah, yeah, that's what
I'm saying here. Yeah, you do it, you do it?
Speaker 1 (11:30):
Got it? Anyway? All right, let's get into this show
because we are we're nearing the end of our emails.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
This is the engine, which.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
Well, this is not the end, closed, we are nearing.
This is almost the end. We are gonna yeah, pick
up Left Behind immediately after this.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
Just left Behind. Yes, when we drop episode two of
Left Behind, so it's a two for one. Yep, there
we go.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
And and if anyone was waiting and just wanted to
pause on that before we continued it, now you can. Uh,
you don't have to scroll for months to find it. Sure,
So I'm excited. The Last of Us Season two on
HBO premieres in twenty days from now, and episode one
(12:22):
is an hour, which is much better than I thought there.
I thought they were gonna be like an hour and
a half all of them. So an hour I can do.
I'm fucking ready to do those notes for the last cast.
So yeah, but let's get let's get into today. Andrew,
I talked so much. Yeah you did, you sure did.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (12:44):
It's almost like this whole this it's like this entire
kind of medium is based.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
On just talking. It's crazy.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
I mean me specifically. Oh, I understand I did a
lot of talking in the pre show and now in
a little bit.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
Yeah, a lot of it. You know, sometimes that's the
brain take.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
Yeah, you can take Jonathan Oh's email, John, Oh, I.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
Got a fun John Oh. Oh boy.
Speaker 3 (13:11):
Hold on, yep, there it is December sixteenth, twenty twenty four.
Merry Christmas.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
John.
Speaker 3 (13:17):
Okay, Hi, I love this opening. I just read it too, Hi,
Jack Andrew and Ghost of Barbed Past. I'm just as vibe. Yeah,
I'm just I didn't even know that I said Merry Christmas,
just based all the time of year. And there is
there it is, and I'll allow the audience to fill
(13:38):
in my signature catchphrase. I've been a huge fan since
episode one and always listen the moment a new episode
comes out. But a few weeks ago, my phone drowned
on a scuba diving trip, so I was a couple
episodes behind.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
I got my phone back today after being.
Speaker 3 (13:56):
Repaired, and the very first thing I did was put
on listener Emails number eleven and sit down to continue
about my million playthrough. Right when you started talking about
strats for the David fight and how you just hit
him with throwables which makes it much easier, I was
stabbing my way through the snow towards the restaurant, and
(14:16):
I thought that can't be right. How did I never
think of doing that? So I made sure that I
climbed through the restaurant window with a bottle in inventory. Inside,
I hunted around for throwables and I couldn't find a
single one. So I went to the door to let
David in, did the run and hide routine, and tried
to select my bottle, only to find it was gone.
(14:37):
Turns out that if you play on ground, it not
only does the game not give you any throwables inside
the restaurant, but it even takes away the one you
already have. The devs are determined to ruin your day
and make you do it the hard way, endure and survive.
Speaker 5 (14:53):
John.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
Wow. Well, first of all, John, thank you for trying
the method and holy shit on grounded. Yeah I haven't.
I have not tried that on grounded. I got stuck
at a certain point and never went back. Yeah it's
been years now, but thanks for Sharon that you went
fucking scuba diving. This is like I've wanted to scuba
(15:17):
dive my entire life, and it's just not something that
I have ever done. Like when I was a kid,
I would just sit on the edge of poles, hold
my nose and just fall backwards, pretending that I was
scuba diving. That's all. My friends would be like, let's
play Mermaids, let's play. And I'm like, no, shut up.
I'm an archaeologist and I need I'm in my scuba
suit and I need to find shit at the bottom
(15:38):
of the ocean. Like that's how I lived my life,
and it's just one day I'll get there, you know,
one day when our daughter is in college. That's when
I'm just gonna go off the fucking rails doing everything
that I just haven't done. But I A'm sorry that
you dropped your phone, but I'm glad that it was
it was able to be repaired, and thank you for
(15:58):
hanging out with us and enjoying your billion playthrough of
The Last of Us. Love that. But I can't sit
here and say in good faith that I am going
to try that on Grounded because that part of the
game still genuinely stresses me out, even knowing my little
hack on easy. I can't. I can't, I can't, I can't.
(16:20):
I just can't stand it. David's the worst.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
Yeah, you know, I'm the worst. You know.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
I don't play I don't play any of the Soul's games.
And that's what Grounded feels like. You know, It's like
how many times do you want to get one hit?
Speaker 2 (16:36):
Bruh? Right?
Speaker 3 (16:38):
Yeah, I mean I get it. We're every day we
play life on grounded mode.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
I get it. So when I get a game, I'd
like to be able to be shot a few times
and and then just put a band aid on it
and be good, you know, exactly. So see, yeah, that's.
Speaker 3 (16:56):
Interesting though I did not I did not think about that.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
They straight up remove the bottle that you already have
on you. Yeah, they're removing from your inventory. Now it's personal.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
Yeah. That's a real bummer. That's a real, real bummer.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
But I appreciate you trying, John. So yeah, all right,
we are moving to I actually read this email to
us on Christmas Day because this was sent from William,
which is s Wren.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
Remember, yes, correct, Yes, that's correct. Yes, yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
Do you remember I read this? He sent it December
twenty fifth, on Christmas twenty twenty four. It was like
it said like six thirty seven am or something in
the time stamp. I can't remember exactly. I didn't write
that down.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
But I just think I like to in my head.
Speaker 3 (17:46):
I imagine s Wren woke up, did a stretch, put
on a nice comfy robe, went downstairs, made a coffee.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
No, no, no, okay, all right.
Speaker 3 (17:56):
You don't remember the email, then, I guess, I mean, okay, yeah, yeah,
all right, I don't remember.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
I mean I don't read it three months ago today.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
Yeah, I don't remember anything. Okay, let's go. Let's go.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
So William says, well, hello Jack and Andrew Ry.
Speaker 3 (18:12):
That's actually in the text. So it was calling for
me to use the sound effect, which is great. Yeah,
you can do that as you write in Ladies and gentlemen.
If you have a thing, if you want me to
play a sound effect, just put it in brackets and I.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
Will yep perfect. I love that for free, for free.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
First off, I would like to take a moment to
wish you both and the family a very merry Christmas
and a happy New Year. Merry Christmas and happy New
Year to you as well, William.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
Yeah, William, from the bottom of my heart. On March
twenty fifth, I sincerely wish you were merry Christmas.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
I genuinely mean it. Andrew's being a smart I genuinely
meant it.
Speaker 3 (18:50):
It's not that he it's not that I received that.
I receive that. But it just feels a little late
to wish someone a happy New Year.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
I mean, is it ever too?
Speaker 2 (19:00):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (19:00):
It is, but that's okay. Yeah, so William says. Here,
it is roughly six in the morning, and I'm sitting
on the couch having my second cup of coffee playing
Roller Coaster Tycoon. Yes I still play RCT. Don't judge
me for ever. We would never I uh. One of
our daughter's favorite Instagram accounts is this bean Guy.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
Bean Worldwide follow them right now.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
Yeah, I'm not We're not even gonna spoil anything. But
he creates roller coasters. Yeah, and that's it. This is
specifically for you, William. I mean everybody but William. Go
follow Bean worldwide and then report back what's your thoughts.
It's absurd, but have fun all so all while I'm
listening to listener emails number thirteen for the third time.
(19:51):
Although I should be filling my wife's ex miss docking
with a bunch of shit she does not need, I
figured i'd take a moment to say hello and give
some feedback. I need to explain. I need to explain
that when I read this email. Okay, our family meaning you,
Bella and I finished opening our stockings. And Andrew always
(20:15):
asks me at the end, He's like, did I do
a good job this year? Because what I grew up
with in the stocking, the stuffers in the stocking was
just very not what Andrew grew up with. I don't
even know if your family stuff the stockings. Actually we did,
but it was like candy.
Speaker 3 (20:35):
It was like, ok, you got your presence and then
the stocking was candy, so it was like, yeah, you know,
you get like a Hershey bar or Hershey Kisses, like
you know that like candy cane full of Hershey Kisses
and stuff.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
It would be like that, sure kind of stuff.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
Do you remember the tin cans of candy that we
would get.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
What kind of candy was it? I don't know.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
They were banks like Hershey. Oh.
Speaker 2 (20:58):
The thing I had TOUTSI is that we're talking about
sea rolls.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
That's what I'm talking about. The tutsi roll.
Speaker 3 (21:02):
Banks straight up a trash candy. And but if put
in front of me, I will eat all of them.
I understand. You don't have to write me anybody. You
don't have to tell me that tutsi rolls are terrible.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
I know, and yet I will fucking eat an entire
bag of them. So why we don't have them in.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
The house is literally that and devil dogs Andrew will
eat the whole fucking box can He is not a
person that struggles with control or discipline in that way,
but those two things, he is a fucking monster. So
sometimes I'll buy that and just be like, let's watch
what happens devil dogs.
Speaker 3 (21:39):
I feel like I feel like devil dogs. And this
is just a quick sting William I swear we'll get
back to you. Devil Dogs maybe regional, and so not
everybody might know what a devil dog is.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
It's like the company is called Drakes.
Speaker 3 (21:55):
Okay, So even if you don't know what a devil
dog is specifically, you have to be aware that sometimes
you'll be walking down the bread ale in your supermarket
and then there will be like pastries on the bread ale.
Why they are separate the other cakes and candies still
(22:18):
kind of eludes me. I have no idea why these
It's a great mystery get preferential treatment. But in our
neck of the woods it's Drakes. We have a very
famous I thought it was Little Debbies. Little Debbies and Drakes,
so both Little Debbie's probably more nationally known. But in
(22:39):
our tri state area we have a very famous, well
regarded bakery called Tasty Cake. And cake is spelled with
a K, so it's tasty cake. One word k ak.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
Oh real quick. So our regional is definitely devil Dogs
by Drakes. But Little Debbie had devil creams.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
I don't know what the you know what I don't
I don't I don't buy that, receive that, I don't
buy those.
Speaker 3 (23:03):
I don't know what that is. That's far into me.
I will never but maybe in your neck of the woods.
It's a devil cream I don't. I just hate that name.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
Actually, yes, that's really bad cream.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
I don't like it at all. It gives me bad chills.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
Bad tingles, bad bad, bad feelings.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
There's a bakery area. We have these tasty cakes. We
have the stuff that the supermarket makes.
Speaker 3 (23:28):
We have all this stuff on one side of the
store and literally on the opposite side of the store
with bread, that's where you get the drinks. These are
objectively terrible for you, right, Oh, not objectively. There is
nothing redeeming about the health content of these things. It's
(23:51):
sugar and carbohydrates and processed bullshit. However, the easiest way
I could describe a devil don't is it's take a
whoopee pie and then shape it like a hot dog.
So it's a bun, then cream, and then a bun.
But the bun is made of chocolate, and the cream
is made of some unknown sugar confection sugar, yeah, unknown
(24:16):
whipped sugar, I guess is what we'll call it. And
they are unbelievably tasty. It's crack for me. I cannot again,
they cannot be in the house. Like all I think
about are devil dogs when they're within, Like if I
have if I know that they're in the cabinet at
(24:36):
any given time, my brain's like, you could.
Speaker 2 (24:39):
Have a devil dog. Right now, I'll be on a
call with clients talking and I'll be just thinking while
I'm listening to them. It's just devil dog. Devil dog,
devil dog, devil dog. Like, if you get through this,
you can have a devil dog. You can treat yourself
to a devil dog. It's a real problem.
Speaker 1 (24:56):
Yeah, which is why I try my best not to
do that to you, because I know it's just not healthy.
It's not I mean, you know, it's interesting. It is interesting.
Speaker 2 (25:05):
They are delicious.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
They are to say, yeah, back to the stockings.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
I wish I got devil dogs in my stocking.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
Yeah, well now you will, now now that you said that,
you know, I just only give me.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
Like two and they'll be gone for breakfast Christmas.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
Breakfast before the stockings.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
Even to give me two.
Speaker 3 (25:24):
I never just hide the rest, get them out of
my put them somewhere.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
I'll hunt them down. Though. It's just a pig.
Speaker 3 (25:33):
When it comes to dogs, I'll sniff those fuckers out
if they're anywhere in the house.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
Trouble Jesus, oh man, that's so, that was all the
image of that. But so well, back to your email,
will you. It's just feel like a bunch of ship.
Your wife doesn't need stock stuffed in the stocking. Yes,
that is that again, goes back to me sharing that Andrew,
(26:01):
just go did I do good? Because when I grew up,
it was like in my stockings, it was it would
be like the occasional gift card for well, I mean
I'm old, so like not gift card. It would probably
be cash and like a little purse like a a
fiver or something, and that's it. And that and that
was plenty back then to toys, yeah, stuff like that,
(26:23):
like little like pez dispensers. And then at as I
would get older, like teenage girl years, it was like
refills for razors or deodorant or little like sample bottles
of perfume for twenty bucks or whatever, and uh like
maybe my favorite treat whatever, Like it was just my
(26:44):
mom would love to put like you know those like
really super fluffy socks. There was always a pair of
them sticking out like it. It was always stuff like that,
so obviously that's what I grew up with. So now
that's what I do for our daughter. And and for
a while sometimes you would just stick a present in
the stocking, like a whole ass present, sure, and I
(27:06):
would be like, this isn't stocking material?
Speaker 2 (27:09):
How dare you?
Speaker 1 (27:11):
And you're just like, I don't understand this shit.
Speaker 2 (27:15):
So all the presents are over here, what are we
doing with this over here?
Speaker 1 (27:20):
It's like the cherry on top. We always do our
presence first and then we have the stockings afterwards. I
know a lot of families are the reverse, where they
do the stocking first and then the presence. No that
I could never You will never catch a bitch doing
that because it's always presents and then the cherry on
top is the stocking, and it's just it's just so
(27:41):
fun like because you never know, you never know what
you're gonna get it. And it's like some years, especially.
Speaker 2 (27:48):
With me, I guess apparently you're just like, I don't know,
could be a it could be a peloton in there.
I just don't know what's going to be in myself.
Speaker 1 (27:55):
Oh my god, please, that would be a dream, that
would be the fucking dream. And I say that to
him all the time. I'm like, a peloton cycle and
a Peloton treadmill would be the fucking I would never
have to leave our house again, philosophical for exercise.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
Yeah, yeah, wow, So all right, we'll.
Speaker 1 (28:15):
Get there anyway. So continuing the email, it has been
quite a while since I have laughed that hard jack.
Your rendition of Casey was so damn good. The low
growl of brother got me. A splash of a slur
would have hit the nail on the head, because you know,
Casey enjoys sipping on Grandpa's old Kauf. Great job, that
(28:37):
was awesome throwback. I remember this. It was Casey and
William discussing the Last of Us, Casey trying to convince
him to play the last dramatic.
Speaker 2 (28:49):
Yeah, that was all time great.
Speaker 1 (28:51):
I'm glad you enjoyed that. Yeah, Andrew, bro Seriously, don't
I really come off as that dramatic? Oh damn, that
was so good. But to be fair, put yourself in
my shoes. He was making some strong promises. He wasn't wrong, lowell.
Speaker 2 (29:07):
Oh, now there we go. I'm invested in the story,
you know, But here we go.
Speaker 1 (29:16):
Maybe one day it will actually happen where you and
I can have a conversation about Resident Evil, Superman, move Superman, movies,
and even music. I'm quite confident that you and I
will be two peas in a pod. Andrew and me
was like peasing carrets. Sorry, I had to farst jumping up.
So yes, you and Andrew can have your brochat about
(29:37):
Resident Evil and movies and music. I'm the one to
talk to about Superman.
Speaker 3 (29:41):
Just to put that out there, Yeah, I mean, I'm
a I'm a Batman guy and a spider Man guy.
Those are my guys. If we're talking about Marvan I
see Superman. You know it's clearly Kalel is clearly in
the realm of Jack over there.
Speaker 1 (29:55):
So oh yeah, all my miney line. So I can
pop and pop in on the conversational chat, and then
I'll go hang out with your wife as she talks
about what you put in her stocking. So the same
with Jack. We will definitely have to have a conversation
about the last of us one and two. I'll be honest,
I may be the first fan you're going to hate
(30:17):
with the things I say and feel about part two.
I believe you and I would have some pretty intense
bickering debates about how we perceive the second game. We
can wait until we get there to do that, even
if it's through email. First of all, I love a
good debate. Everyone knows this. Second, I just have to
remind everyone my cousin, my best friend, the Last of
(30:41):
Us Part two is her game of her life, like
it changed her whole life. It showed her who she
really was. There, the depth of her love for Part
two I will never deny, and I admire her for that.
So I don't want anyone to ever think that I'm
(31:03):
intentionally going to pick fights because you love something that
I generally hate. That's not going to happen on our show.
And I'm eager to hear the counters for things that
I'm going to present because I feel like in some
ways I might actually be able to share a different perspective,
(31:25):
and you will be able to share your perspective with
me if you write in again, I don't want to
assume that everyone's just going to be beating down the
door yelling at me through email, and that might happen,
but like.
Speaker 2 (31:36):
I'll be the referee and I will be assigning points
at the end of each you know, I'd be like, okay, yes,
rain two points. Like Dumbledore, I'll be giving out the
house points.
Speaker 1 (31:46):
I get it. Yeah, so yeah, I just I have
had many, many a discussion with my cousin. We are
very respectful about it. She understands. I struggle with under
standing if anyone, but I yeah, I just need to
read I need to double down, triple down, quadruple down
(32:07):
on that that It's not going to be this like
vicious cage match where I'm tearing it apart just for
the sake of tearing it apart. Okay, I'm not gonna
I'm not Yeah, I'm not interested in that. I'm interested
in sharing exactly what I think with a little bit
of pettiness. I'm gonna tom petty it up a little bit.
But yeah, when it's called for, not just you know, oh,
(32:31):
look at the fucking sun and the sky. It moved
too fast. No, I'm not going to be that much
of a dickhead anyway. Also, I know I sent you
another email about how a part three could play out.
I just want to say, don't read too much into that.
I just wanted to get your attention and it was
whatever came into my head at the moment. That's the
(32:51):
email that we did cover like two months ago.
Speaker 3 (32:55):
Oh that's right. We recorded a whole episode and then
we're like, throw it away.
Speaker 1 (33:01):
We didn't throw it away, but it was we banked
it because it's primarily last of us to talk, So
that will be later on down the line. Yeah, and
a quick note, the name s Wren is pronounced sa rennin,
so Rennon, Sonnan so Rennon. Just read the name backwards
and you understand. Niners. I know, I know, go birds,
(33:24):
go birds have to just it's off season, but baby,
I'm still in it. So Kryptonian Jedi seventy nine works again.
S Wren, William Kryptoni and Jedi seventy nine is a
wonderful coffee sub. Quite a few names, and I don't
know if I put them all together until this email.
To be perfectly honest, please don't be a minime. But yes,
(33:46):
that is me or simply William or Will.
Speaker 3 (33:48):
Whichever you prefer hiding from Will. Why do you have
so many names? Who's after you? This is safe space.
You can you can be safe, you can be authentic
with us.
Speaker 1 (33:59):
Yeah, tell us give me names.
Speaker 2 (34:02):
Do you ever fill out a form and it's like aliases.
Speaker 3 (34:04):
You may be also affiliated with you know, you got
to you got a long list there, that's okay.
Speaker 1 (34:10):
I love it as always. Thank you for all you
both do. You are very much appreciated, not just the podcast,
but the time, the conversations, the laughs, the knowledge, everything,
You too are truly incredible.
Speaker 2 (34:23):
Jack.
Speaker 1 (34:24):
This is the part that I remember this in the email.
It really it got me, and it might get me again.
We'll see how strong I am today. Jack. You may
love Joel, but Andrew is your rock. I believe we
all saw or heard that in your last episode. Life
isn't easy in our walks of life. We all come
across obstacles. We have to get through every day, and
to have Andrew by your side, you will continue to strive.
(34:46):
You got this much love and happiness not just a
fan but a friend. Williams made it. I almost made it.
Speaker 2 (34:57):
Hey, my gosh, there it is.
Speaker 1 (34:59):
Yeah, yeah, I mean the truth is. I think the
truth is very apparent, but having it returned to you
in that way is a really beautiful thing. Affirmations. I
love affirmations, so I agree. I loved Joel very much,
but Andrew one hundred percent is my rock, and I
(35:22):
talked about the very bad experience I had at the
gym yesterday, for example over on our coffee pre show
post show, so and just to round it out, I
had a very bad experience yesterday going to a new
gym for the first time in almost twenty years, and
I high expectations, disappointed, stress, had a panic attack the
(35:45):
whole nine and I came home and Andrew was so
excited because he knew how excited I was that he
like ran out into the kitchen and was like, how'd
it go? And I like almost burst into tears, and
then he instantly pivoted from excited anticipation to like consoling me. So, yes,
(36:09):
you are one thousand percent my rock, and I love
you and I always will love you for a million reasons,
but certainly that one. I love it. Can that be
part of the bingo where it's like you Jack finishes
talking about something profound and prolific, and Andrew just says, yes, it.
Speaker 2 (36:31):
Is, it is.
Speaker 1 (36:32):
Does that count?
Speaker 2 (36:33):
No, it's on the bingo card?
Speaker 1 (36:35):
I know, I know. I was just asking if that counts?
Speaker 2 (36:38):
Oh does that count? Yeah? Yes?
Speaker 1 (36:40):
Yeah, okay, yeah, okay.
Speaker 3 (36:42):
There was a pulse where you could have filled in
any number of things that I was thinking, and then
I just decided to press a button.
Speaker 2 (36:48):
So there it is.
Speaker 1 (36:49):
Sure, Sure, I love it. So the next few emails
that we received, I think, like the next four, I
think after this, we're very long. So we're kind of yeah,
they are thak and we're kind of coming up to
the close of our show, but not quite there yet.
(37:10):
So we're going to jump ahead of time to January
thirty first, but we will go back next week to
cover the emails that we just skipped.
Speaker 2 (37:18):
Don't so worry.
Speaker 1 (37:21):
No worrying out there. Okay, I promise, hold your horses hues,
hold whatever you want.
Speaker 2 (37:30):
Okay, yeah, okay. This one's day after my birthday. You know,
no big deal. This one's from James W.
Speaker 3 (37:40):
James says, walking on my mail route, being reminded of
the hubris of the doctor in Part one and Part two.
Your hospital is run on extension cords. Still, after twenty years,
your entire operation is a failed state, brought almost entirely
down by Joel. If I jumped to the next day
(38:02):
in my head, if there was no Joel, Marlene would
say that was terrible, but at least we can cure humanity.
How are we looking? The doctor shoulder shrug. Turns out
it's not a virus, it's a fungus. We couldn't do
much with fungal infections before the world collapse whistles and
walks away. The fireflies lack of forethought about the goods
(38:25):
she could accomplish living and tunnel vision on killing for
some samples is a view into their demise before and
after Ellie and Joel. That's James laying down some hard
truths for the firefly.
Speaker 1 (38:39):
James, I'm toasting. I'm toasting you with the cheers, like
like a Champagne toast, like Gatsby, like that Gatsby gift. Yes,
one hundred percent, that's what I'm doing right now. So
close your eyes and envision.
Speaker 2 (38:51):
That Leonardo Dicapricks you got smiling at you. Yep, there
it is.
Speaker 1 (38:58):
I can't agree more. First of all, I love the
setup that you are on your mail route, like being
reminded of this the hubris of the doctor Bruce Jerry
from part one. And yeah, I mean it's all it's
all fucking it's all bullshit.
Speaker 2 (39:18):
It's a farce, it's a travesty. It's a sham. It's
a mockery. It's a Travis sha moockery.
Speaker 1 (39:24):
Yes, and I hate it. So thank you for calling
our attention back to that. I appreciate it. I appreciate you.
Be safe out there, and thank you. Thank you for
doing what you do. Yeah, the USPR, the USPRS. Sorry.
Speaker 3 (39:43):
Imagine, like imagine your mail carrier, you see, like because
it's similar like growing up, it didn't make sense for all. Right,
So like where we live now, there's like one central
mailbox where everybody goes to get their mail. But in Philadelphia,
where we had row homes, the mail carrier would just
(40:04):
park at one end of the block and just walk.
Speaker 2 (40:07):
The block, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (40:09):
Or they'd park at one end, walk to the other,
and then drop mail off along the way back to
their truck.
Speaker 2 (40:15):
Right.
Speaker 3 (40:15):
Yeah, And so just like to imagine, like imagine it's
like pleasant phil though not a Philadelphia Rowe home situar.
It's like a beautiful it's like the sun is shining,
grasses as green as it's ever been, and there's this.
Speaker 2 (40:27):
Mail carrier and he's dropping off the mail. Hey, Ted,
how are you great?
Speaker 5 (40:30):
To see you?
Speaker 2 (40:31):
Whatever? The hope all as well. It's like, actually, not
all as well. The doctor from the Last of Us
is bullshit.
Speaker 1 (40:40):
I'm telling you, that's what I'm picturing in my head. James, Yeah,
and I hope that's what happens.
Speaker 2 (40:45):
I just yeah, it's like, actually, you know things, you know,
just that a beautiful day, things aren't going well. Okay,
they were going to kill that little girl.
Speaker 1 (40:55):
It's like, wait, what are you talking about? Just like
a random of fucking Sharon's at the door, like are
you okay?
Speaker 2 (41:05):
No, no, no, what doctor? Two people took down an
entire organization, okay, extension courts, extension courts. It's like, wow,
our mail carrier strulled. I know that's not what happened,
but I know.
Speaker 1 (41:25):
Just a moment traumaticizing it because it's fun.
Speaker 2 (41:27):
Imagine if it was you, you know, it could be
so much.
Speaker 1 (41:31):
That would be great. Now, whenever I see a mail carrier,
I'm going to be like, are you you're thinking about
Jerry slash Bruce? Aren't you? I know it. I can tell.
I can see it in your eyes, right, So don't worry.
Speaker 2 (41:44):
You just put a hand on his shoulder. Don't worry, man,
I understand.
Speaker 1 (41:50):
Don't see now the hand on the shoulder. Thing used
to be so simple. Yeah, but we have to give
context for this real quick before our next final email
for this show. Andrew, Bella and I met up with
my cousin and her girlfriend this weekend, this past weekend
to go to this like cute little village with bookshops
and antique whatever and were it was an event happening,
(42:15):
So it was very busy at this place. There was
lots of people. The aisles in the bookshop are very small,
like you can't there's no room for wiggles. And this
guy kept kind of like trying to get where I
was standing, and I was like, no, like I'm looking
at the Michael Crichton section right now. Fuck off, you know.
(42:39):
But Andrew and Bella had approached from the opposite end.
But as I turned away from the guy, was it me,
Did I put my hand on Bella or you.
Speaker 2 (42:50):
Bella? Okay?
Speaker 1 (42:51):
Yeah, So I put my hand on Bella's shoulder and
I was about to say something and this like incredible
sneeze just came to me and I went scrunched up
phase aholl nine and then the sneeze just died and
it didn't happen. And that was the joke for the
rest of the day. So now forever, I'm going to
think putting a hand on a shoulder, we have to
(43:11):
mimic or min that. Yeah, forward, because Andrew saw it,
Like Andrew was standing behind Bella and he saw it.
What happened? And you just like busted out laughing and
turned and walked away because I think you knew you
were going to be loud and we were in a
fucking bookstore.
Speaker 3 (43:27):
Yeah, so you just left the library. Though we could
be loud at a bookstore, you know, I know.
Speaker 1 (43:31):
But you weren't. You were just like, I can't believe
that just happened.
Speaker 4 (43:34):
Yeah, you know, it's sometimes it was funnier there.
Speaker 2 (43:40):
And we just lock it in our memories forever. That's it.
Speaker 1 (43:45):
Sure, there you go. You're welcome for another locked in memory,
babe boom. So our next was that a problem to
be solved?
Speaker 2 (43:54):
No?
Speaker 1 (43:54):
I don't know, so are Our next and final email
for this episode is from Adam B from February third,
twenty twenty five, which was just last month. I know
we skipped some emails, though I can't be excited.
Speaker 2 (44:08):
It's okay.
Speaker 1 (44:09):
So hey Jack and Andrew. Longtime listener first time writer.
I love that line. Oh when people take a chance
and write after listening for so long, it's just all
the affirmations that I it just source through my blood. Anyway,
I just wanted to say, Listener Emails, episode number fourteen
is your funniest yet hearing Andrew insists that David's can
(44:34):
David's camp harvested fifty five hundred pounds of human meat.
Was amazing. I don't see what the problem is. Oh
my god. Uh so yes that we talked about that, right,
because somebody else wrote in where they were like. I
(44:54):
never envisioned that it was all human beace. I thought
it was like dear, maybe a bear and and then
topped off with people, but not all.
Speaker 2 (45:04):
Of it people. I think that's where we landed in
the end.
Speaker 1 (45:09):
Yeah, so yes, but moving continuing with the email a question,
I know what Sundown Promises was a reference to what
is Wayfair and Strangers a reference to Thanks Adam. Okay,
so let me pull up the song because I want
(45:31):
all the information in front of my files.
Speaker 2 (45:34):
Take it away, Eddie.
Speaker 1 (45:35):
Well no, no, no, no. Sundown Promises is Future Days by
James Slash any better. Wait, so, Wayfair and Strangers is
a reference to Johnny Cash's song Wayfair and Stranger, and
it was never in the game for part two, but
Ashley Johnson and Troy Baker sang the song together, literally
(45:57):
did a duet together on stage, I don't know, six
or seven years ago, and it is so emotionally intense
because they obviously knew what was going to happen with
their characters, in between their characters and to their characters.
So when you hear that first line, I'm just a
poor Wayfair and Stranger, it just really sets the tone
(46:21):
in Ashley's voice. Like that particular performance, she seemed a
little nervous and I don't again, I don't know, I
don't know her. I wasn't there. There's no backstory that
I know and I can reference, So if anybody knows
the backstory, please tell me. But her voice was a
little shaky, it was a little emotional. Troll I almost
(46:43):
merged Troy troll d r O E L. No, Troy was.
I mean, Troy is a performer, so he under he's
been in that position before, so he was solid and
he sang the entire fucking song in Joel's intonation, So
(47:04):
as Joel and it's incredibly moving. So if you go
onto YouTube, just look up Ashley Johnson, Troy Baker, Wayfar
and Stranger and it will move you.
Speaker 5 (47:18):
I'm just a poor wayfar and stranger traveling through this
world below. There is no sickness, no toil, no danger
(47:42):
in that bride land to which I go.
Speaker 2 (47:51):
I'm going there.
Speaker 5 (47:54):
To see my father and all my love one hoove
gone on. I'm just good when over Jordan, I'm just
(48:16):
good when overhaul.
Speaker 1 (48:24):
So remembering that way back when we renamed this podcast,
it just felt it just felt right. It felt encompassing
for the show, for Joel and Ellie's journey from East
to West Coast, and also just like the deeper world,
(48:45):
like the deep, like a deeper reference to the world
that they're living in, like nothing is if you're a
wayfaring stranger, nothing is ever settled for you, if you
have this nomadic existence, it's it's just it's heartbreaking. But
then this song progresses and talks about I'm gonna talk
Johnny Cash more than Ashley and Troy in this moment,
(49:07):
but it progresses talking about like meeting his father who
had passed in heaven. So it's even on that deeper
level from Ellie's perspective of Joel. So it's a beautiful song.
I think it's a beautiful testament to the Last of
Us series, and the performance was incredible. So even if
(49:28):
you have seen it, go on YouTube and check it
out again because it's probably been a while. So that
is where our name came from.
Speaker 3 (49:36):
Yeah, it's not a long song. Well they're not a
it's like verse chorus, verse, chorus, that's it. And certainly
listen to Johnny Cash's version of it too.
Speaker 1 (49:48):
Oh yes please.
Speaker 3 (49:49):
That was around the time, like that was, you know,
when Johnny was still with us, but it was also
around the time where he did his rendition of Hurt,
or actually that entire album of cover songs, but Hurt
being like the kind of the standout from nine Inch Nails.
(50:09):
But yeah, I think Wayfair and Strangers was probably the
album before that one, or like recorded shortly in that pocket.
Speaker 2 (50:16):
So pretty cool, pretty cool song.
Speaker 1 (50:19):
So yeah, that's yeah, that's what we pulled from.
Speaker 3 (50:22):
That's podcast lore that you just got there podcast that's
also kind of Last of Us lore, So go look
that up.
Speaker 1 (50:30):
I wouldn't necessarily do you. I don't know if I
would call it a deep cut, but I don't necessarily
know if everybody knows.
Speaker 3 (50:39):
That, no, I would wager that probably very few. It's
like two people from a video game, yeah, singing a
song from fifteen years before, you know, ten years before,
twelve years before the first game, easy, twenty years before
the second game. But because they're doing it in the
(51:01):
voices Ellie's voice, is is Ashley's voice?
Speaker 2 (51:03):
Right?
Speaker 3 (51:04):
But yes, Troy's doing it in the Joel voice, So
you could just assume that, you know, it's it's in character.
It's in character, Yeah, it is. It's a shame that
that didn't somehow make its way into the second game,
because well.
Speaker 1 (51:18):
That's what I keep thinking. I'm like, did it and
I just don't remember? But I just googled the Last
of Us Wayfair and Stranger or Wayfair and Stranger the
Last of Us Part two, and the only thing that
it sent me to was the YouTube video of Troy
and Ashley.
Speaker 3 (51:32):
Yeah, so that's all I remember. I mean, maybe I
could be wrong, but I don't think. Well, they certainly
never sang together, no, so that's they never know.
Speaker 1 (51:42):
Yeah, I mean we never even saw him teacher how
to play the guitar, just that he was going to
teach her.
Speaker 2 (51:48):
Yeah. Yeah, so it's powerful. It's powerful stuff.
Speaker 1 (51:52):
So and I think at the core of it, like
all the things that we've talked about already, but music
is a very powerful, full component in the Last of
Us series, and I would say even more so, and
especially in part two. So for me, it was it
felt like a bomb to name our podcast something like
(52:15):
intrinsic to the series.
Speaker 3 (52:16):
It was either a Wayfaring Strangers or Take on Me.
And it turns out there was already a podcast named
Take on Me and we were getting ensued.
Speaker 1 (52:23):
So none of that happened. None of it happened. So yeah,
but anyway, that is, that's going to be our show.
Hope you guys enjoyed a little bit of lowre and
thank you for the emails. Everyone. We have the best
time going through all of this and just getting peek
(52:46):
into your lives, a peek into hours. It's just it's

The last cast will be back in about three weeks,
(53:46):
like officially, but we do plan on dropping an episode
for the trailers and some of the promotional materials and
just kind of maybe we'll dabble on some theories we'll
see because there's a lot out there.
Speaker 2 (54:00):
A lot of theories in our own discord.
Speaker 1 (54:02):
Yeah, yes, I've seen them because I've been there. I've
been showing up Soljah infrequently, but I'm still there showing up.
So yeah, our next episode again is going to be
an email show because we're not quite done this, but
we're getting there. We are almost to the end of
(54:23):
the line with the backlog, and it is exciting, but
some announcements are wonderful. Coffee Friends special shout out to

I've been saying thirty nine for like a fucking year.
I'm sorry.
Speaker 2 (55:14):
Nobody wrote in to correct us.
Speaker 1 (55:17):
Well he did. He said I'm also Kryptonian Jedi seventy nine.
Speaker 2 (55:21):
But he did.
Speaker 1 (55:22):
He did that in December. That's okay. I'm not blaming you, William,
I'm not blaming you. This is all in me. I'm sorry.
I apologize. Please, don't be bad, Kryptonian Jedi seventy nine.
Don't be bad. But continuing Ozzy Ellie, a Lurker, a
Treas Underscore Light nine ten, Climbatize eighty two, Zombie Tom
thirty nine. That's where we got fucked up with the
(55:44):
nine numbers, vaded Jader, And we have a new sub
this week joining the crowd, so let's all give a
warm welcome to Jess. All. We we covered Jess's email
a couple episodes back. If you recall all the bad
interview that they went on that we said, f the
(56:04):
people who make people feel bad after interviews. So that's
our wonderful new coffee friend.
Speaker 6 (56:12):
And to wrap it up, shaby battle, shamey battle, I
hate it.
Speaker 1 (56:22):
I ain't it so much shady bad. I'm gonna say
that for the rest of the day in my head,
just walk around our house making dinner. Shaby bead o.
Speaker 2 (56:31):
Listen if we're before messing up the usernames of our
coffee subs, I want in sure, and I only get
to do one, so I'll just come up with nine
hundred variations of messing it up.
Speaker 1 (56:48):
In my defense. In my defense, I ask you if
you would like to do it more often, but you're like,
I never have the listed phone.
Speaker 3 (56:54):
Listen when we get back to the main show where
we have show notes, then yes, sir, but right now
I'm only looking at a list of emails, so that's
totally fine. You'll look, I'll read the names, and then
maybe Jackie will do the deep.
Speaker 2 (57:11):
You know, Baby Shadow. From time to time, we don't
know what you mean.
Speaker 1 (57:16):
Oh man, shaby babo, shavy beto?
Speaker 2 (57:21):
What is it?
Speaker 4 (57:22):
I forgot already shaby battle just searching the s H
and the B. That's that I know, but my brain
is not.
Speaker 1 (57:35):
It doesn't make sense. I know, shavy bedo, shaby bdal
there you go.
Speaker 2 (57:40):
So you would have to say it backwards too. I
think maybe it would be funny.
Speaker 7 (57:46):
It's wah wah waaes yeah, baba, no, I hate this.
Speaker 3 (58:00):
I'm gonna clip that and I'm gonna put that on
the soundboard.
Speaker 2 (58:05):
Old say bob.
Speaker 1 (58:16):
Wa dush well, dashi bab well dashy bob. Oh my god,
Baby Shadow, I'm so sorry. Why do you put up
with us?
Speaker 2 (58:25):
God?
Speaker 1 (58:25):
This is just we We We appreciate you, guys, thank
you for supporting us, for supporting the show and aspiring
us and especially Andrew to just have fun with the names.
So I love it very much.
Speaker 2 (58:40):
See that's all that. We have fun. That's what it is.
Speaker 1 (58:45):
We have fun. Yeah, we like to have fun on
the show and I know that. Okay, so this is
a little different thing that I'm gonna do right now,
and maybe we should do this going forward. Recommend yeah, sidebar,
a sidebar to the bar that we already cided.
Speaker 2 (59:03):
It's too many bars, maybe not enough.
Speaker 1 (59:06):
Maybe we should like recommend an artist or somebody's page
every once in a while. I don't know if you're
in If anybody's interested in that and would like to
hear more about like artists or people that we have
bought March from in the Last of Us world, let
me know because I found someone recently and I wanted
(59:27):
to give a shout out. So that's what I'm gonna do,
because I found this coffee page full of wonderful, fantastic art,
not just the Last of Us, but several Joel prints,
and I'm gonna get them all. Don't worry. They also
sell stickers and fun stuff like that. But there's other
video games on there. I think there's some movie referenced art.
(59:49):
It's a it's a it's a good it's a good
place to be and to spend some money if you
have a few extra dollars, sure, and legitimately, I bought
an eight x ten per and I think it was
fifteen bucks twenty with shipping, so great prices too. The
artist's name is Leo, and if you would like to
go and visit their page, you can do that. It's
(01:00:11):
ko dash fi dot com slash a strand of gold,
so easy cho dash fi dot com slash a strand
of gold. So I will also have that linked in
our show notes. Just you know, it might be nice
to just put out some references and talk about people
(01:00:32):
in the community that are creating really fucking dope art.
And you know what, we've patroned, patron not patronized that
we are a patriots.
Speaker 3 (01:00:41):
Yeah, you can patronize somebody, but not in the bad
way when you're a patron orself.
Speaker 1 (01:00:45):
Just doesn't Yeah, it just doesn't sound right in my
brain because everyone's like, don't patronize.
Speaker 3 (01:00:51):
Me, Yeah, that's the bad way, but patronizes anyway.
Speaker 1 (01:00:56):
Put So, thank you so much, Leo, if you somehow
start umble upon this. Can't wait to receive the artwork.
I got a message via coffee today that it was
being shipped out, so I'm very excited to get my roll.
And yeah, but that's it for this week's show. Thank
you guys for hanging out and sending us some fun stuff.
(01:01:17):
I already did all that, but I just want to
double down and we will be back next week and
I can't wait because that means we're one step closer
to getting back to the review shows slash the main shows,
along with tackling the list of us on HBO. So yeah,
take care of yourselves. Go outside and get some fresh
(01:01:38):
air and sunshine if you were able to. If you
feel like you're up for a walk, go and do that.
If you're like I need to make big moves and
I want to start back at a gym, just lower
your expectations for yourself and go in easy pasy so
you don't come out like huffing and puffing with a
high heart rate and a panic attack, chasing all the
(01:01:59):
bed vibes into instead of out. And yeah, so I'm
trying to think last week was a donut. We recommended
you guys to treat yourself with you know what, It's
getting a little nicer outside, so if you can, and
if you want to get yourself an ice cream cone
and enjoy.
Speaker 2 (01:02:18):
It, there you go. Yeah, ice cream cone.
Speaker 1 (01:02:22):
Ice cream, good ice cream.
Speaker 2 (01:02:23):
There we go.
Speaker 1 (01:02:25):
I need ice cream now tonight, so I'm going to
enjoy that. But yeah bye guys, see you next week.
Chat next week, not see you. I would love to
see you, but
Speaker 2 (01:02:34):
We can't, so we'll chat podcast over right,
Well, hello everybody. I am Jack and this is way
for strangers, and as always I am joined by my
wonderful co host and Drew.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
Hey, how's it going.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
I don't like the energy there. You need to bring
it up. She needs to dial it up. No, she
remind me of fucking oh man. This is such a
deep cut from Philly childhood. But do you remember Star
one of four point five? Yeah, between the sheets between
it was like after after eleven pm on Star one
(01:06):
or four point five, there would be like between the sheets,
like and your voice is giving off that calm not
necessarily sexy, And that's none of your no fault of
your own, because I don't think you're going for that
right now. Whereas Star one of four point five certainly
did they do that because between the sheets. But yeah,
(01:26):
and then they always played the same song at eleven
eleven pm. It was wild. It was wid. You had
to be there, anyway to be there. Yeah, would you stop?
Speaker 2 (01:35):
This is Star one oh four point five, Philadelphia up next,
Boys to Men.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
Wow, that's probably exactly I know I heard that at
least one point yeah, because we're between the sheets.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
Baby cool. Oh hey everyone, it's me. I'm back Oh
my god.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
All right, so I talked about the eagle cam over
on our pre show. I'm not going to talk about
they're they're great, they're growing wonderfully, but they're testing the
boundaries of the baby gates, I e branches and it's
stressed me the fuck out. But I did pay slash
donate ten dollars to the friendso Big Bear Valley dot
(02:19):
org so that I could put in name choices for
these two babies. And if you paid ten dollars, you
got three name suggestions.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
So my first one, no, God damn it, I'll do
it again.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
I have no You can pay five dollars for one
name suggestion, and I will do that. But because again
it's all money that goes to like the best cause. Okay,
but nobody will get that that won't win. But we
can rally our entire audience, that's true. Oh my gosh.
Everyone go to friends of Big Bear Valley dot org
(02:59):
and click on the name Chick two and Chick three
because unfortunately Chick one was the one that passed away.
That's what we've decided. And she was named already after
someone who was a very strong volunteer and supporter of
fobbv and who had passed away of cancer. So I
love that dedication for her, Misty. They named the chick Misty.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
But I.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
So, I'll tell you, okay, do you want to guess
at any suggestions or do you want me to just
tell you two and then you guess one.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
That you put in?
Speaker 3 (03:36):
Yeah, all right, I'm gonna get it's probably some nerdy
assh shit. I'm guessing one of them is probably Joel, Yes,
and then I'm guessing the other one. You know, you
got two other I'm gonna go with a pair, maybe
Sam Orfrodo.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
Well, there's only two chicks.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
Yeah, No, I'm just saying, I'm yeah, you got three
name options, so I'm gonna say, sure one of them
is Sam or Frodo.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
No, how about I did I did on that route? No? No,
I did think it.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
No, Lord of the Rings, unbelievable Ellie. Did you go
with Ellie? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (04:14):
Okay, but they're siblings and that's family.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
I know. That's what I'm saying. That's okay, that's that
tracks uh. And then the third name Steve from Minecraft.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
Maybe okay, I'm going to put you in my frame
of mind.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
All right.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
Initially I was going to do Rudy Sean Aston's movie
Rudy because he was an underdog boy and he and
he survived well, he made it to what he wanted
to do. And I'm not going to spoil but there's
a wonderful chance.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
With spoilers for Rudy.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
Yeah, an easily thirty year old movie based on real
life spoilers.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
Still, I try to be mindful, but I was gonna
go Rudy. But then I was like, think of other
underdog fictional characters that I love and that and that
has to apply to Chick three because he was born
so late and he is a little feisty fighter.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
Yeah, it's Rocky, It's Rocky.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
I but I put in the full name.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
I was like, Rocky.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
Me.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
And he takes a fucking beating from the fack older
chick and and he and he still initiates and and
will and he'll pop back up and I'm like, you
get hit. Yeah, that's the best quote. Don't you dare
make fun of it. I quote that ship all the
time in my head when I'm having rough days. It
ain't about how hard you hit, It's about how hard
(05:47):
you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much
you can take and keep moving forward. That's how winning
is done.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
Chesty. Really the movie it's.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
Just called yeah, Rocky Balboa.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
Yeah, technically Rocky six, I guess right.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
Yeah, Rocky five sucked ass. So you could really watch
one through four, skip five.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
One and then go to six two six creed and
that's it.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
Absolutely the fun.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
That is the That's what I would call the chopping
block order for Rocky.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
No vehemently disagree. So anyway, I donated money to the
FOBBV to name the shakes. Joel rock got it, Yeah, Joel,
Ellien rochiy. I love it, and I doubt any of
the names will get picked. And that's okay because they
take the most popular names with the most votes and
(06:47):
then they put like give it to a third, fourth,
and fifth graders to vote at the local elementary school.
And I can't see if like a fourth grader being like,
I like the name Joel, you know what I mean,
Ellie might might win maybe.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
Sure, but I mean Jackie one, And that's not to
diminish your name. But the kids were like, true, Jackie
is the name of this egal you know? And where
did they get that from?
Speaker 2 (07:15):
Was that? You know that that's probably just what they
came up with.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
But I feel like, no, that was the same thing.
Like everyone donates a certain amount of money and recommends
a name. How many people recommended the name Jackiet?
Speaker 3 (07:27):
Yeah right, that's the thing presented with options. I feel like,
you know, if you ask a kid to name a thing,
they're going to name a thing based off They're going
to be like, you know, I don't know what whatever,
They'll be like it's bluey or bandit, right, which are
also fine names for birds and dogs whatever. But if
you're like you have to choose from this list of
(07:48):
pre approved names, you know, that's like when you ask
the Internet to name something, it's always going to be
something mixed some face, you know, like body mc.
Speaker 4 (07:58):
Boat face, yeah, you know, and r canny McGee, canny McGee,
canny mccannface.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
You know it's gonna be that, right.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
So you know, if they hear Rocky, even if they've
never seen Rocky, that's just a cool name.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
It's true. It is true, and that little chick does
take a beating, but he gets right back.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
I mean they don't again, they don't have that context
probably unless you know the I think their parents are
letting you know.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
I just don't think of like Rocky as a parable
as a story lands for people until you're a little older.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
All Right, I'm fine.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
Maybe their parents love boxing movies. Maybe it's just like
all we watch this House is Rocky and Raging Bowl
and South Paul.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
Maybe maybe, and that if it makes it into the pool,
I'm banking on some children being like Rocky is a
that's a cool fun name this say, like, even if
they're thinking of rocks like, I don't care.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
Rocky the.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
Rocky the Eagle sounds amazing, doesn't it. As I'm saying is, guys,
if you have like a spare five dollars and you
want to donate it to this wonderful organization to get
a chance to name one of these precious bundles of love,
go to Friends of Big Bear Valley dot org and
recommend the name Rocky.
Speaker 4 (09:25):
Please, for the love of God, you're gonna You're gonna
the system, I understand.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
So gotta you gotta gotta do what you gotta do.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
So anyway, that's a that's our.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
That's our that's our show. That's our show for today. Everybody.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
Hopefully someone gets a bingo soon. Oh my god, we did.
We talked about the ego can. We talked about Lord
of the Rings. We talked about I can't remember now
because my brain is empties.
Speaker 3 (09:59):
Once some we just have to shuffle up. I feel
like we just got to create thirteen cards, fifteen card,
nineteen cards, and then then we assign. We say card
number twelve is the one that will go randomly, we
pick a card, any card, and then you got to
get bingo based off of that.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
Yeah, if you guys don't know what we're talking about,
go to Instagram, dot com, slash tlu podcasts, where I
posted the bingo, the bingo game, the wonderful bingo game
that acclimatize. I hope it's okay if I use your name.
Bradley submitted to us, and then I did a separate
(10:41):
template which I posted to stories and then I will
highlight that on our page permanently, so you guys can
go screenshot it and create your own and send us
some submissions just for fun, because we like to have
fun on this podcast along with all the seriousness.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
There's got to be a website where you could just
plug in the design and then all of these you know,
so it.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
Took me a really long time.
Speaker 3 (11:04):
Yeah, but well we'll figure it out. Maybe it's just
like a canva. Maybe we just create like a canva
and then we just drag and drop the names like
all over the place or something.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
We'll figure it out.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
Sure, And we can link people to that too, so
they have like instant access.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
To it, right, Yeah, here, you do.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
Well, no, because they might want to put in their
own prompts.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
I know, that's what I'm saying. Yeah, yeah, that's what
I'm saying here. Yeah, you do it, you do it?
Speaker 1 (11:30):
Got it? Anyway? All right, let's get into this show
because we are we're nearing the end of our emails.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
This is the engine, which.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
Well, this is not the end, closed, we are nearing.
This is almost the end. We are gonna yeah, pick
up Left Behind immediately after this.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
Just left Behind. Yes, when we drop episode two of
Left Behind, so it's a two for one. Yep, there
we go.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
And and if anyone was waiting and just wanted to
pause on that before we continued it, now you can. Uh,
you don't have to scroll for months to find it. Sure,
So I'm excited. The Last of Us Season two on
HBO premieres in twenty days from now, and episode one
(12:22):
is an hour, which is much better than I thought there.
I thought they were gonna be like an hour and
a half all of them. So an hour I can do.
I'm fucking ready to do those notes for the last cast.
So yeah, but let's get let's get into today. Andrew,
I talked so much. Yeah you did, you sure did.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (12:44):
It's almost like this whole this it's like this entire
kind of medium is based.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
On just talking. It's crazy.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
I mean me specifically. Oh, I understand I did a
lot of talking in the pre show and now in
a little bit.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
Yeah, a lot of it. You know, sometimes that's the
brain take.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
Yeah, you can take Jonathan Oh's email, John, Oh, I.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
Got a fun John Oh. Oh boy.
Speaker 3 (13:11):
Hold on, yep, there it is December sixteenth, twenty twenty four.
Merry Christmas.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
John.
Speaker 3 (13:17):
Okay, Hi, I love this opening. I just read it too, Hi,
Jack Andrew and Ghost of Barbed Past. I'm just as vibe. Yeah,
I'm just I didn't even know that I said Merry Christmas,
just based all the time of year. And there is
there it is, and I'll allow the audience to fill
(13:38):
in my signature catchphrase. I've been a huge fan since
episode one and always listen the moment a new episode
comes out. But a few weeks ago, my phone drowned
on a scuba diving trip, so I was a couple
episodes behind.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
I got my phone back today after being.
Speaker 3 (13:56):
Repaired, and the very first thing I did was put
on listener Emails number eleven and sit down to continue
about my million playthrough. Right when you started talking about
strats for the David fight and how you just hit
him with throwables which makes it much easier, I was
stabbing my way through the snow towards the restaurant, and
(14:16):
I thought that can't be right. How did I never
think of doing that? So I made sure that I
climbed through the restaurant window with a bottle in inventory. Inside,
I hunted around for throwables and I couldn't find a
single one. So I went to the door to let
David in, did the run and hide routine, and tried
to select my bottle, only to find it was gone.
(14:37):
Turns out that if you play on ground, it not
only does the game not give you any throwables inside
the restaurant, but it even takes away the one you
already have. The devs are determined to ruin your day
and make you do it the hard way, endure and survive.
Speaker 5 (14:53):
John.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
Wow. Well, first of all, John, thank you for trying
the method and holy shit on grounded. Yeah I haven't.
I have not tried that on grounded. I got stuck
at a certain point and never went back. Yeah it's
been years now, but thanks for Sharon that you went
fucking scuba diving. This is like I've wanted to scuba
(15:17):
dive my entire life, and it's just not something that
I have ever done. Like when I was a kid,
I would just sit on the edge of poles, hold
my nose and just fall backwards, pretending that I was
scuba diving. That's all. My friends would be like, let's
play Mermaids, let's play. And I'm like, no, shut up.
I'm an archaeologist and I need I'm in my scuba
suit and I need to find shit at the bottom
(15:38):
of the ocean. Like that's how I lived my life,
and it's just one day I'll get there, you know,
one day when our daughter is in college. That's when
I'm just gonna go off the fucking rails doing everything
that I just haven't done. But I A'm sorry that
you dropped your phone, but I'm glad that it was
it was able to be repaired, and thank you for
(15:58):
hanging out with us and enjoying your billion playthrough of
The Last of Us. Love that. But I can't sit
here and say in good faith that I am going
to try that on Grounded because that part of the
game still genuinely stresses me out, even knowing my little
hack on easy. I can't. I can't, I can't, I can't.
(16:20):
I just can't stand it. David's the worst.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
Yeah, you know, I'm the worst. You know.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
I don't play I don't play any of the Soul's games.
And that's what Grounded feels like. You know, It's like
how many times do you want to get one hit?
Speaker 2 (16:36):
Bruh? Right?
Speaker 3 (16:38):
Yeah, I mean I get it. We're every day we
play life on grounded mode.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
I get it. So when I get a game, I'd
like to be able to be shot a few times
and and then just put a band aid on it
and be good, you know, exactly. So see, yeah, that's.
Speaker 3 (16:56):
Interesting though I did not I did not think about that.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
They straight up remove the bottle that you already have
on you. Yeah, they're removing from your inventory. Now it's personal.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
Yeah. That's a real bummer. That's a real, real bummer.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
But I appreciate you trying, John. So yeah, all right,
we are moving to I actually read this email to
us on Christmas Day because this was sent from William,
which is s Wren.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
Remember, yes, correct, Yes, that's correct. Yes, yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
Do you remember I read this? He sent it December
twenty fifth, on Christmas twenty twenty four. It was like
it said like six thirty seven am or something in
the time stamp. I can't remember exactly. I didn't write
that down.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
But I just think I like to in my head.
Speaker 3 (17:46):
I imagine s Wren woke up, did a stretch, put
on a nice comfy robe, went downstairs, made a coffee.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
No, no, no, okay, all right.
Speaker 3 (17:56):
You don't remember the email, then, I guess, I mean, okay, yeah, yeah,
all right, I don't remember.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
I mean I don't read it three months ago today.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
Yeah, I don't remember anything. Okay, let's go. Let's go.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
So William says, well, hello Jack and Andrew Ry.
Speaker 3 (18:12):
That's actually in the text. So it was calling for
me to use the sound effect, which is great. Yeah,
you can do that as you write in Ladies and gentlemen.
If you have a thing, if you want me to
play a sound effect, just put it in brackets and I.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
Will yep perfect. I love that for free, for free.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
First off, I would like to take a moment to
wish you both and the family a very merry Christmas
and a happy New Year. Merry Christmas and happy New
Year to you as well, William.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
Yeah, William, from the bottom of my heart. On March
twenty fifth, I sincerely wish you were merry Christmas.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
I genuinely mean it. Andrew's being a smart I genuinely
meant it.
Speaker 3 (18:50):
It's not that he it's not that I received that.
I receive that. But it just feels a little late
to wish someone a happy New Year.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
I mean, is it ever too?
Speaker 2 (19:00):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (19:00):
It is, but that's okay. Yeah, so William says. Here,
it is roughly six in the morning, and I'm sitting
on the couch having my second cup of coffee playing
Roller Coaster Tycoon. Yes I still play RCT. Don't judge
me for ever. We would never I uh. One of
our daughter's favorite Instagram accounts is this bean Guy.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
Bean Worldwide follow them right now.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
Yeah, I'm not We're not even gonna spoil anything. But
he creates roller coasters. Yeah, and that's it. This is
specifically for you, William. I mean everybody but William. Go
follow Bean worldwide and then report back what's your thoughts.
It's absurd, but have fun all so all while I'm
listening to listener emails number thirteen for the third time.
(19:51):
Although I should be filling my wife's ex miss docking
with a bunch of shit she does not need, I
figured i'd take a moment to say hello and give
some feedback. I need to explain. I need to explain
that when I read this email. Okay, our family meaning you,
Bella and I finished opening our stockings. And Andrew always
(20:15):
asks me at the end, He's like, did I do
a good job this year? Because what I grew up
with in the stocking, the stuffers in the stocking was
just very not what Andrew grew up with. I don't
even know if your family stuff the stockings. Actually we did,
but it was like candy.
Speaker 3 (20:35):
It was like, ok, you got your presence and then
the stocking was candy, so it was like, yeah, you know,
you get like a Hershey bar or Hershey Kisses, like
you know that like candy cane full of Hershey Kisses
and stuff.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
It would be like that, sure kind of stuff.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
Do you remember the tin cans of candy that we
would get.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
What kind of candy was it? I don't know.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
They were banks like Hershey. Oh.
Speaker 2 (20:58):
The thing I had TOUTSI is that we're talking about
sea rolls.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
That's what I'm talking about. The tutsi roll.
Speaker 3 (21:02):
Banks straight up a trash candy. And but if put
in front of me, I will eat all of them.
I understand. You don't have to write me anybody. You
don't have to tell me that tutsi rolls are terrible.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
I know, and yet I will fucking eat an entire
bag of them. So why we don't have them in.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
The house is literally that and devil dogs Andrew will
eat the whole fucking box can He is not a
person that struggles with control or discipline in that way,
but those two things, he is a fucking monster. So
sometimes I'll buy that and just be like, let's watch
what happens devil dogs.
Speaker 3 (21:39):
I feel like I feel like devil dogs. And this
is just a quick sting William I swear we'll get
back to you. Devil Dogs maybe regional, and so not
everybody might know what a devil dog is.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
It's like the company is called Drakes.
Speaker 3 (21:55):
Okay, So even if you don't know what a devil
dog is specifically, you have to be aware that sometimes
you'll be walking down the bread ale in your supermarket
and then there will be like pastries on the bread ale.
Why they are separate the other cakes and candies still
(22:18):
kind of eludes me. I have no idea why these
It's a great mystery get preferential treatment. But in our
neck of the woods it's Drakes. We have a very
famous I thought it was Little Debbies. Little Debbies and Drakes,
so both Little Debbie's probably more nationally known. But in
(22:39):
our tri state area we have a very famous, well
regarded bakery called Tasty Cake. And cake is spelled with
a K, so it's tasty cake. One word k ak.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
Oh real quick. So our regional is definitely devil Dogs
by Drakes. But Little Debbie had devil creams.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
I don't know what the you know what I don't
I don't I don't buy that, receive that, I don't
buy those.
Speaker 3 (23:03):
I don't know what that is. That's far into me.
I will never but maybe in your neck of the woods.
It's a devil cream I don't. I just hate that name.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
Actually, yes, that's really bad cream.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
I don't like it at all. It gives me bad chills.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
Bad tingles, bad bad, bad feelings.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
There's a bakery area. We have these tasty cakes. We
have the stuff that the supermarket makes.
Speaker 3 (23:28):
We have all this stuff on one side of the
store and literally on the opposite side of the store
with bread, that's where you get the drinks. These are
objectively terrible for you, right, Oh, not objectively. There is
nothing redeeming about the health content of these things. It's
(23:51):
sugar and carbohydrates and processed bullshit. However, the easiest way
I could describe a devil don't is it's take a
whoopee pie and then shape it like a hot dog.
So it's a bun, then cream, and then a bun.
But the bun is made of chocolate, and the cream
is made of some unknown sugar confection sugar, yeah, unknown
(24:16):
whipped sugar, I guess is what we'll call it. And
they are unbelievably tasty. It's crack for me. I cannot again,
they cannot be in the house. Like all I think
about are devil dogs when they're within, Like if I
have if I know that they're in the cabinet at
(24:36):
any given time, my brain's like, you could.
Speaker 2 (24:39):
Have a devil dog. Right now, I'll be on a
call with clients talking and I'll be just thinking while
I'm listening to them. It's just devil dog. Devil dog,
devil dog, devil dog. Like, if you get through this,
you can have a devil dog. You can treat yourself
to a devil dog. It's a real problem.
Speaker 1 (24:56):
Yeah, which is why I try my best not to
do that to you, because I know it's just not healthy.
It's not I mean, you know, it's interesting. It is interesting.
Speaker 2 (25:05):
They are delicious.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
They are to say, yeah, back to the stockings.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
I wish I got devil dogs in my stocking.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
Yeah, well now you will, now now that you said that,
you know, I just only give me.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
Like two and they'll be gone for breakfast Christmas.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
Breakfast before the stockings.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
Even to give me two.
Speaker 3 (25:24):
I never just hide the rest, get them out of
my put them somewhere.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
I'll hunt them down. Though. It's just a pig.
Speaker 3 (25:33):
When it comes to dogs, I'll sniff those fuckers out
if they're anywhere in the house.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
Trouble Jesus, oh man, that's so, that was all the
image of that. But so well, back to your email,
will you. It's just feel like a bunch of ship.
Your wife doesn't need stock stuffed in the stocking. Yes,
that is that again, goes back to me sharing that Andrew,
(26:01):
just go did I do good? Because when I grew up,
it was like in my stockings, it was it would
be like the occasional gift card for well, I mean
I'm old, so like not gift card. It would probably
be cash and like a little purse like a a
fiver or something, and that's it. And that and that
was plenty back then to toys, yeah, stuff like that,
(26:23):
like little like pez dispensers. And then at as I
would get older, like teenage girl years, it was like
refills for razors or deodorant or little like sample bottles
of perfume for twenty bucks or whatever, and uh like
maybe my favorite treat whatever, Like it was just my
(26:44):
mom would love to put like you know those like
really super fluffy socks. There was always a pair of
them sticking out like it. It was always stuff like that,
so obviously that's what I grew up with. So now
that's what I do for our daughter. And and for
a while sometimes you would just stick a present in
the stocking, like a whole ass present, sure, and I
(27:06):
would be like, this isn't stocking material?
Speaker 2 (27:09):
How dare you?
Speaker 1 (27:11):
And you're just like, I don't understand this shit.
Speaker 2 (27:15):
So all the presents are over here, what are we
doing with this over here?
Speaker 1 (27:20):
It's like the cherry on top. We always do our
presence first and then we have the stockings afterwards. I
know a lot of families are the reverse, where they
do the stocking first and then the presence. No that
I could never You will never catch a bitch doing
that because it's always presents and then the cherry on
top is the stocking, and it's just it's just so
(27:41):
fun like because you never know, you never know what
you're gonna get it. And it's like some years, especially.
Speaker 2 (27:48):
With me, I guess apparently you're just like, I don't know,
could be a it could be a peloton in there.
I just don't know what's going to be in myself.
Speaker 1 (27:55):
Oh my god, please, that would be a dream, that
would be the fucking dream. And I say that to
him all the time. I'm like, a peloton cycle and
a Peloton treadmill would be the fucking I would never
have to leave our house again, philosophical for exercise.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
Yeah, yeah, wow, So all right, we'll.
Speaker 1 (28:15):
Get there anyway. So continuing the email, it has been
quite a while since I have laughed that hard jack.
Your rendition of Casey was so damn good. The low
growl of brother got me. A splash of a slur
would have hit the nail on the head, because you know,
Casey enjoys sipping on Grandpa's old Kauf. Great job, that
(28:37):
was awesome throwback. I remember this. It was Casey and
William discussing the Last of Us, Casey trying to convince
him to play the last dramatic.
Speaker 2 (28:49):
Yeah, that was all time great.
Speaker 1 (28:51):
I'm glad you enjoyed that. Yeah, Andrew, bro Seriously, don't
I really come off as that dramatic? Oh damn, that
was so good. But to be fair, put yourself in
my shoes. He was making some strong promises. He wasn't wrong, lowell.
Speaker 2 (29:07):
Oh, now there we go. I'm invested in the story,
you know, But here we go.
Speaker 1 (29:16):
Maybe one day it will actually happen where you and
I can have a conversation about Resident Evil, Superman, move Superman, movies,
and even music. I'm quite confident that you and I
will be two peas in a pod. Andrew and me
was like peasing carrets. Sorry, I had to farst jumping up.
So yes, you and Andrew can have your brochat about
(29:37):
Resident Evil and movies and music. I'm the one to
talk to about Superman.
Speaker 3 (29:41):
Just to put that out there, Yeah, I mean, I'm
a I'm a Batman guy and a spider Man guy.
Those are my guys. If we're talking about Marvan I
see Superman. You know it's clearly Kalel is clearly in
the realm of Jack over there.
Speaker 1 (29:55):
So oh yeah, all my miney line. So I can
pop and pop in on the conversational chat, and then
I'll go hang out with your wife as she talks
about what you put in her stocking. So the same
with Jack. We will definitely have to have a conversation
about the last of us one and two. I'll be honest,
I may be the first fan you're going to hate
(30:17):
with the things I say and feel about part two.
I believe you and I would have some pretty intense
bickering debates about how we perceive the second game. We
can wait until we get there to do that, even
if it's through email. First of all, I love a
good debate. Everyone knows this. Second, I just have to
remind everyone my cousin, my best friend, the Last of
(30:41):
Us Part two is her game of her life, like
it changed her whole life. It showed her who she
really was. There, the depth of her love for Part
two I will never deny, and I admire her for that.
So I don't want anyone to ever think that I'm
(31:03):
intentionally going to pick fights because you love something that
I generally hate. That's not going to happen on our show.
And I'm eager to hear the counters for things that
I'm going to present because I feel like in some
ways I might actually be able to share a different perspective,
(31:25):
and you will be able to share your perspective with
me if you write in again, I don't want to
assume that everyone's just going to be beating down the
door yelling at me through email, and that might happen,
but like.
Speaker 2 (31:36):
I'll be the referee and I will be assigning points
at the end of each you know, I'd be like, okay, yes,
rain two points. Like Dumbledore, I'll be giving out the
house points.
Speaker 1 (31:46):
I get it. Yeah, so yeah, I just I have
had many, many a discussion with my cousin. We are
very respectful about it. She understands. I struggle with under
standing if anyone, but I yeah, I just need to
read I need to double down, triple down, quadruple down
(32:07):
on that that It's not going to be this like
vicious cage match where I'm tearing it apart just for
the sake of tearing it apart. Okay, I'm not gonna
I'm not Yeah, I'm not interested in that. I'm interested
in sharing exactly what I think with a little bit
of pettiness. I'm gonna tom petty it up a little bit.
But yeah, when it's called for, not just you know, oh,
(32:31):
look at the fucking sun and the sky. It moved
too fast. No, I'm not going to be that much
of a dickhead anyway. Also, I know I sent you
another email about how a part three could play out.
I just want to say, don't read too much into that.
I just wanted to get your attention and it was
whatever came into my head at the moment. That's the
(32:51):
email that we did cover like two months ago.
Speaker 3 (32:55):
Oh that's right. We recorded a whole episode and then
we're like, throw it away.
Speaker 1 (33:01):
We didn't throw it away, but it was we banked
it because it's primarily last of us to talk, So
that will be later on down the line. Yeah, and
a quick note, the name s Wren is pronounced sa rennin,
so Rennon, Sonnan so Rennon. Just read the name backwards
and you understand. Niners. I know, I know, go birds,
(33:24):
go birds have to just it's off season, but baby,
I'm still in it. So Kryptonian Jedi seventy nine works again.
S Wren, William Kryptoni and Jedi seventy nine is a
wonderful coffee sub. Quite a few names, and I don't
know if I put them all together until this email.
To be perfectly honest, please don't be a minime. But yes,
(33:46):
that is me or simply William or Will.
Speaker 3 (33:48):
Whichever you prefer hiding from Will. Why do you have
so many names? Who's after you? This is safe space.
You can you can be safe, you can be authentic
with us.
Speaker 1 (33:59):
Yeah, tell us give me names.
Speaker 2 (34:02):
Do you ever fill out a form and it's like aliases.
Speaker 3 (34:04):
You may be also affiliated with you know, you got
to you got a long list there, that's okay.
Speaker 1 (34:10):
I love it as always. Thank you for all you
both do. You are very much appreciated, not just the podcast,
but the time, the conversations, the laughs, the knowledge, everything,
You too are truly incredible.
Speaker 2 (34:23):
Jack.
Speaker 1 (34:24):
This is the part that I remember this in the email.
It really it got me, and it might get me again.
We'll see how strong I am today. Jack. You may
love Joel, but Andrew is your rock. I believe we
all saw or heard that in your last episode. Life
isn't easy in our walks of life. We all come
across obstacles. We have to get through every day, and
to have Andrew by your side, you will continue to strive.
(34:46):
You got this much love and happiness not just a
fan but a friend. Williams made it. I almost made it.
Speaker 2 (34:57):
Hey, my gosh, there it is.
Speaker 1 (34:59):
Yeah, yeah, I mean the truth is. I think the
truth is very apparent, but having it returned to you
in that way is a really beautiful thing. Affirmations. I
love affirmations, so I agree. I loved Joel very much,
but Andrew one hundred percent is my rock, and I
(35:22):
talked about the very bad experience I had at the
gym yesterday, for example over on our coffee pre show
post show, so and just to round it out, I
had a very bad experience yesterday going to a new
gym for the first time in almost twenty years, and
I high expectations, disappointed, stress, had a panic attack the
(35:45):
whole nine and I came home and Andrew was so
excited because he knew how excited I was that he
like ran out into the kitchen and was like, how'd
it go? And I like almost burst into tears, and
then he instantly pivoted from excited anticipation to like consoling me. So, yes,
(36:09):
you are one thousand percent my rock, and I love
you and I always will love you for a million reasons,
but certainly that one. I love it. Can that be
part of the bingo where it's like you Jack finishes
talking about something profound and prolific, and Andrew just says, yes, it.
Speaker 2 (36:31):
Is, it is.
Speaker 1 (36:32):
Does that count?
Speaker 2 (36:33):
No, it's on the bingo card?
Speaker 1 (36:35):
I know, I know. I was just asking if that counts?
Speaker 2 (36:38):
Oh does that count? Yeah? Yes?
Speaker 1 (36:40):
Yeah, okay, yeah, okay.
Speaker 3 (36:42):
There was a pulse where you could have filled in
any number of things that I was thinking, and then
I just decided to press a button.
Speaker 2 (36:48):
So there it is.
Speaker 1 (36:49):
Sure, Sure, I love it. So the next few emails
that we received, I think, like the next four, I
think after this, we're very long. So we're kind of yeah,
they are thak and we're kind of coming up to
the close of our show, but not quite there yet.
(37:10):
So we're going to jump ahead of time to January
thirty first, but we will go back next week to
cover the emails that we just skipped.
Speaker 2 (37:18):
Don't so worry.
Speaker 1 (37:21):
No worrying out there. Okay, I promise, hold your horses hues,
hold whatever you want.
Speaker 2 (37:30):
Okay, yeah, okay. This one's day after my birthday. You know,
no big deal. This one's from James W.
Speaker 3 (37:40):
James says, walking on my mail route, being reminded of
the hubris of the doctor in Part one and Part two.
Your hospital is run on extension cords. Still, after twenty years,
your entire operation is a failed state, brought almost entirely
down by Joel. If I jumped to the next day
(38:02):
in my head, if there was no Joel, Marlene would
say that was terrible, but at least we can cure humanity.
How are we looking? The doctor shoulder shrug. Turns out
it's not a virus, it's a fungus. We couldn't do
much with fungal infections before the world collapse whistles and
walks away. The fireflies lack of forethought about the goods
(38:25):
she could accomplish living and tunnel vision on killing for
some samples is a view into their demise before and
after Ellie and Joel. That's James laying down some hard
truths for the firefly.
Speaker 1 (38:39):
James, I'm toasting. I'm toasting you with the cheers, like
like a Champagne toast, like Gatsby, like that Gatsby gift. Yes,
one hundred percent, that's what I'm doing right now. So
close your eyes and envision.
Speaker 2 (38:51):
That Leonardo Dicapricks you got smiling at you. Yep, there
it is.
Speaker 1 (38:58):
I can't agree more. First of all, I love the
setup that you are on your mail route, like being
reminded of this the hubris of the doctor Bruce Jerry
from part one. And yeah, I mean it's all it's
all fucking it's all bullshit.
Speaker 2 (39:18):
It's a farce, it's a travesty. It's a sham. It's
a mockery. It's a Travis sha moockery.
Speaker 1 (39:24):
Yes, and I hate it. So thank you for calling
our attention back to that. I appreciate it. I appreciate you.
Be safe out there, and thank you. Thank you for
doing what you do. Yeah, the USPR, the USPRS. Sorry.
Speaker 3 (39:43):
Imagine, like imagine your mail carrier, you see, like because
it's similar like growing up, it didn't make sense for all. Right,
So like where we live now, there's like one central
mailbox where everybody goes to get their mail. But in Philadelphia,
where we had row homes, the mail carrier would just
(40:04):
park at one end of the block and just walk.
Speaker 2 (40:07):
The block, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (40:09):
Or they'd park at one end, walk to the other,
and then drop mail off along the way back to
their truck.
Speaker 2 (40:15):
Right.
Speaker 3 (40:15):
Yeah, And so just like to imagine, like imagine it's
like pleasant phil though not a Philadelphia Rowe home situar.
It's like a beautiful it's like the sun is shining,
grasses as green as it's ever been, and there's this.
Speaker 2 (40:27):
Mail carrier and he's dropping off the mail. Hey, Ted,
how are you great?
Speaker 5 (40:30):
To see you?
Speaker 2 (40:31):
Whatever? The hope all as well. It's like, actually, not
all as well. The doctor from the Last of Us
is bullshit.
Speaker 1 (40:40):
I'm telling you, that's what I'm picturing in my head. James, Yeah,
and I hope that's what happens.
Speaker 2 (40:45):
I just yeah, it's like, actually, you know things, you know,
just that a beautiful day, things aren't going well. Okay,
they were going to kill that little girl.
Speaker 1 (40:55):
It's like, wait, what are you talking about? Just like
a random of fucking Sharon's at the door, like are
you okay?
Speaker 2 (41:05):
No, no, no, what doctor? Two people took down an
entire organization, okay, extension courts, extension courts. It's like, wow,
our mail carrier strulled. I know that's not what happened,
but I know.
Speaker 1 (41:25):
Just a moment traumaticizing it because it's fun.
Speaker 2 (41:27):
Imagine if it was you, you know, it could be
so much.
Speaker 1 (41:31):
That would be great. Now, whenever I see a mail carrier,
I'm going to be like, are you you're thinking about
Jerry slash Bruce? Aren't you? I know it. I can tell.
I can see it in your eyes, right, So don't worry.
Speaker 2 (41:44):
You just put a hand on his shoulder. Don't worry, man,
I understand.
Speaker 1 (41:50):
Don't see now the hand on the shoulder. Thing used
to be so simple. Yeah, but we have to give
context for this real quick before our next final email
for this show. Andrew, Bella and I met up with
my cousin and her girlfriend this weekend, this past weekend
to go to this like cute little village with bookshops
and antique whatever and were it was an event happening,
(42:15):
So it was very busy at this place. There was
lots of people. The aisles in the bookshop are very small,
like you can't there's no room for wiggles. And this
guy kept kind of like trying to get where I
was standing, and I was like, no, like I'm looking
at the Michael Crichton section right now. Fuck off, you know.
(42:39):
But Andrew and Bella had approached from the opposite end.
But as I turned away from the guy, was it me,
Did I put my hand on Bella or you.
Speaker 2 (42:50):
Bella? Okay?
Speaker 1 (42:51):
Yeah, So I put my hand on Bella's shoulder and
I was about to say something and this like incredible
sneeze just came to me and I went scrunched up
phase aholl nine and then the sneeze just died and
it didn't happen. And that was the joke for the
rest of the day. So now forever, I'm going to
think putting a hand on a shoulder, we have to
(43:11):
mimic or min that. Yeah, forward, because Andrew saw it,
Like Andrew was standing behind Bella and he saw it.
What happened? And you just like busted out laughing and
turned and walked away because I think you knew you
were going to be loud and we were in a
fucking bookstore.
Speaker 3 (43:27):
Yeah, so you just left the library. Though we could
be loud at a bookstore, you know, I know.
Speaker 1 (43:31):
But you weren't. You were just like, I can't believe
that just happened.
Speaker 4 (43:34):
Yeah, you know, it's sometimes it was funnier there.
Speaker 2 (43:40):
And we just lock it in our memories forever. That's it.
Speaker 1 (43:45):
Sure, there you go. You're welcome for another locked in memory,
babe boom. So our next was that a problem to
be solved?
Speaker 2 (43:54):
No?
Speaker 1 (43:54):
I don't know, so are Our next and final email
for this episode is from Adam B from February third,
twenty twenty five, which was just last month. I know
we skipped some emails, though I can't be excited.
Speaker 2 (44:08):
It's okay.
Speaker 1 (44:09):
So hey Jack and Andrew. Longtime listener first time writer.
I love that line. Oh when people take a chance
and write after listening for so long, it's just all
the affirmations that I it just source through my blood. Anyway,
I just wanted to say, Listener Emails, episode number fourteen
is your funniest yet hearing Andrew insists that David's can
(44:34):
David's camp harvested fifty five hundred pounds of human meat.
Was amazing. I don't see what the problem is. Oh
my god. Uh so yes that we talked about that, right,
because somebody else wrote in where they were like. I
(44:54):
never envisioned that it was all human beace. I thought
it was like dear, maybe a bear and and then
topped off with people, but not all.
Speaker 2 (45:04):
Of it people. I think that's where we landed in
the end.
Speaker 1 (45:09):
Yeah, so yes, but moving continuing with the email a question,
I know what Sundown Promises was a reference to what
is Wayfair and Strangers a reference to Thanks Adam. Okay,
so let me pull up the song because I want
(45:31):
all the information in front of my files.
Speaker 2 (45:34):
Take it away, Eddie.
Speaker 1 (45:35):
Well no, no, no, no. Sundown Promises is Future Days by
James Slash any better. Wait, so, Wayfair and Strangers is
a reference to Johnny Cash's song Wayfair and Stranger, and
it was never in the game for part two, but
Ashley Johnson and Troy Baker sang the song together, literally
(45:57):
did a duet together on stage, I don't know, six
or seven years ago, and it is so emotionally intense
because they obviously knew what was going to happen with
their characters, in between their characters and to their characters.
So when you hear that first line, I'm just a
poor Wayfair and Stranger, it just really sets the tone
(46:21):
in Ashley's voice. Like that particular performance, she seemed a
little nervous and I don't again, I don't know, I
don't know her. I wasn't there. There's no backstory that
I know and I can reference, So if anybody knows
the backstory, please tell me. But her voice was a
little shaky, it was a little emotional. Troll I almost
(46:43):
merged Troy troll d r O E L. No, Troy was.
I mean, Troy is a performer, so he under he's
been in that position before, so he was solid and
he sang the entire fucking song in Joel's intonation, So
(47:04):
as Joel and it's incredibly moving. So if you go
onto YouTube, just look up Ashley Johnson, Troy Baker, Wayfar
and Stranger and it will move you.
Speaker 5 (47:18):
I'm just a poor wayfar and stranger traveling through this
world below. There is no sickness, no toil, no danger
(47:42):
in that bride land to which I go.
Speaker 2 (47:51):
I'm going there.
Speaker 5 (47:54):
To see my father and all my love one hoove
gone on. I'm just good when over Jordan, I'm just
(48:16):
good when overhaul.
Speaker 1 (48:24):
So remembering that way back when we renamed this podcast,
it just felt it just felt right. It felt encompassing
for the show, for Joel and Ellie's journey from East
to West Coast, and also just like the deeper world,
(48:45):
like the deep, like a deeper reference to the world
that they're living in, like nothing is if you're a
wayfaring stranger, nothing is ever settled for you, if you
have this nomadic existence, it's it's just it's heartbreaking. But
then this song progresses and talks about I'm gonna talk
Johnny Cash more than Ashley and Troy in this moment,
(49:07):
but it progresses talking about like meeting his father who
had passed in heaven. So it's even on that deeper
level from Ellie's perspective of Joel. So it's a beautiful song.
I think it's a beautiful testament to the Last of
Us series, and the performance was incredible. So even if
(49:28):
you have seen it, go on YouTube and check it
out again because it's probably been a while. So that
is where our name came from.
Speaker 3 (49:36):
Yeah, it's not a long song. Well they're not a
it's like verse chorus, verse, chorus, that's it. And certainly
listen to Johnny Cash's version of it too.
Speaker 1 (49:48):
Oh yes please.
Speaker 3 (49:49):
That was around the time, like that was, you know,
when Johnny was still with us, but it was also
around the time where he did his rendition of Hurt,
or actually that entire album of cover songs, but Hurt
being like the kind of the standout from nine Inch Nails.
(50:09):
But yeah, I think Wayfair and Strangers was probably the
album before that one, or like recorded shortly in that pocket.
Speaker 2 (50:16):
So pretty cool, pretty cool song.
Speaker 1 (50:19):
So yeah, that's yeah, that's what we pulled from.
Speaker 3 (50:22):
That's podcast lore that you just got there podcast that's
also kind of Last of Us lore, So go look
that up.
Speaker 1 (50:30):
I wouldn't necessarily do you. I don't know if I
would call it a deep cut, but I don't necessarily
know if everybody knows.
Speaker 3 (50:39):
That, no, I would wager that probably very few. It's
like two people from a video game, yeah, singing a
song from fifteen years before, you know, ten years before,
twelve years before the first game, easy, twenty years before
the second game. But because they're doing it in the
(51:01):
voices Ellie's voice, is is Ashley's voice?
Speaker 2 (51:03):
Right?
Speaker 3 (51:04):
But yes, Troy's doing it in the Joel voice, So
you could just assume that, you know, it's it's in character.
It's in character, Yeah, it is. It's a shame that
that didn't somehow make its way into the second game,
because well.
Speaker 1 (51:18):
That's what I keep thinking. I'm like, did it and
I just don't remember? But I just googled the Last
of Us Wayfair and Stranger or Wayfair and Stranger the
Last of Us Part two, and the only thing that
it sent me to was the YouTube video of Troy
and Ashley.
Speaker 3 (51:32):
Yeah, so that's all I remember. I mean, maybe I
could be wrong, but I don't think. Well, they certainly
never sang together, no, so that's they never know.
Speaker 1 (51:42):
Yeah, I mean we never even saw him teacher how
to play the guitar, just that he was going to
teach her.
Speaker 2 (51:48):
Yeah. Yeah, so it's powerful. It's powerful stuff.
Speaker 1 (51:52):
So and I think at the core of it, like
all the things that we've talked about already, but music
is a very powerful, full component in the Last of
Us series, and I would say even more so, and
especially in part two. So for me, it was it
felt like a bomb to name our podcast something like
(52:15):
intrinsic to the series.
Speaker 3 (52:16):
It was either a Wayfaring Strangers or Take on Me.
And it turns out there was already a podcast named
Take on Me and we were getting ensued.
Speaker 1 (52:23):
So none of that happened. None of it happened. So yeah,
but anyway, that is, that's going to be our show.
Hope you guys enjoyed a little bit of lowre and
thank you for the emails. Everyone. We have the best
time going through all of this and just getting peek
(52:46):
into your lives, a peek into hours. It's just it's

The last cast will be back in about three weeks,
(53:46):
like officially, but we do plan on dropping an episode
for the trailers and some of the promotional materials and
just kind of maybe we'll dabble on some theories we'll
see because there's a lot out there.
Speaker 2 (54:00):
A lot of theories in our own discord.
Speaker 1 (54:02):
Yeah, yes, I've seen them because I've been there. I've
been showing up Soljah infrequently, but I'm still there showing up.
So yeah, our next episode again is going to be

we're getting there. We are almost to the end of

Speaker 2 (54:54):
I think it's nope, I don't know now now up
as down left is right?
Speaker 1 (54:59):
I'm going I'm gonna keep this in too, because I
feel like a shit if I've been saying this for
oh my god, it's Kryptoni and Jedi seventy nine and
I've been saying thirty nine for like a fucking year.
I'm sorry.
Speaker 2 (55:14):
Nobody wrote in to correct us.
Speaker 1 (55:17):
Well he did. He said I'm also Kryptonian Jedi seventy nine.
Speaker 2 (55:21):
But he did.
Speaker 1 (55:22):
He did that in December. That's okay. I'm not blaming you, William,
I'm not blaming you. This is all in me. I'm sorry.
I apologize. Please, don't be bad, Kryptonian Jedi seventy nine.
Don't be bad. But continuing Ozzy Ellie, a Lurker, a
Treas Underscore Light nine ten, Climbatize eighty two, Zombie Tom
thirty nine. That's where we got fucked up with the
(55:44):
nine numbers, vaded Jader, And we have a new sub
this week joining the crowd, so let's all give a
warm welcome to Jess. All. We we covered Jess's email
a couple episodes back. If you recall all the bad
interview that they went on that we said, f the
(56:04):
people who make people feel bad after interviews. So that's
our wonderful new coffee friend.
Speaker 6 (56:12):
And to wrap it up, shaby battle, shamey battle, I
hate it.
Speaker 1 (56:22):
I ain't it so much shady bad. I'm gonna say
that for the rest of the day in my head,
just walk around our house making dinner. Shaby bead o.
Speaker 2 (56:31):
Listen if we're before messing up the usernames of our
coffee subs, I want in sure, and I only get
to do one, so I'll just come up with nine
hundred variations of messing it up.
Speaker 1 (56:48):
In my defense. In my defense, I ask you if
you would like to do it more often, but you're like,
I never have the listed phone.
Speaker 3 (56:54):
Listen when we get back to the main show where
we have show notes, then yes, sir, but right now
I'm only looking at a list of emails, so that's
totally fine. You'll look, I'll read the names, and then
maybe Jackie will do the deep.
Speaker 2 (57:11):
You know, Baby Shadow. From time to time, we don't
know what you mean.
Speaker 1 (57:16):
Oh man, shaby babo, shavy beto?
Speaker 2 (57:21):
What is it?
Speaker 4 (57:22):
I forgot already shaby battle just searching the s H
and the B. That's that I know, but my brain
is not.
Speaker 1 (57:35):
It doesn't make sense. I know, shavy bedo, shaby bdal
there you go.
Speaker 2 (57:40):
So you would have to say it backwards too. I
think maybe it would be funny.
Speaker 7 (57:46):
It's wah wah waaes yeah, baba, no, I hate this.
Speaker 3 (58:00):
I'm gonna clip that and I'm gonna put that on

Speaker 1 (58:45):
We have fun. Yeah, we like to have fun on
the show and I know that. Okay, so this is
a little different thing that I'm gonna do right now,
and maybe we should do this going forward. Recommend yeah, sidebar,
a sidebar to the bar that we already cided.
Speaker 2 (59:03):
It's too many bars, maybe not enough.
Speaker 1 (59:06):
Maybe we should like recommend an artist or somebody's page
every once in a while. I don't know if you're
in If anybody's interested in that and would like to
hear more about like artists or people that we have
bought March from in the Last of Us world, let
me know because I found someone recently and I wanted
(59:27):
to give a shout out. So that's what I'm gonna do,
because I found this coffee page full of wonderful, fantastic art,
not just the Last of Us, but several Joel prints,
and I'm gonna get them all. Don't worry. They also
sell stickers and fun stuff like that. But there's other
video games on there. I think there's some movie referenced art.
(59:49):
It's a it's a it's a good it's a good
place to be and to spend some money if you
have a few extra dollars, sure, and legitimately, I bought
an eight x ten per and I think it was
fifteen bucks twenty with shipping, so great prices too. The
artist's name is Leo, and if you would like to
go and visit their page, you can do that. It's
(01:00:11):
ko dash fi dot com slash a strand of gold,
so easy cho dash fi dot com slash a strand
of gold. So I will also have that linked in
our show notes. Just you know, it might be nice
to just put out some references and talk about people
(01:00:32):
in the community that are creating really fucking dope art.
And you know what, we've patroned, patron not patronized that
we are a patriots.
Speaker 3 (01:00:41):
Yeah, you can patronize somebody, but not in the bad
way when you're a patron orself.
Speaker 1 (01:00:45):
Just doesn't Yeah, it just doesn't sound right in my
brain because everyone's like, don't patronize.
Speaker 3 (01:00:51):
Me, Yeah, that's the bad way, but patronizes anyway.
Speaker 1 (01:00:56):
Put So, thank you so much, Leo, if you somehow
start umble upon this. Can't wait to receive the artwork.
I got a message via coffee today that it was
being shipped out, so I'm very excited to get my roll.
And yeah, but that's it for this week's show. Thank
you guys for hanging out and sending us some fun stuff.
(01:01:17):
I already did all that, but I just want to
double down and we will be back next week and
I can't wait because that means we're one step closer
to getting back to the review shows slash the main shows,
along with tackling the list of us on HBO. So yeah,
take care of yourselves. Go outside and get some fresh
(01:01:38):
air and sunshine if you were able to. If you
feel like you're up for a walk, go and do that.
If you're like I need to make big moves and
I want to start back at a gym, just lower
your expectations for yourself and go in easy pasy so
you don't come out like huffing and puffing with a
high heart rate and a panic attack, chasing all the
(01:01:59):
bed vibes into instead of out. And yeah, so I'm
trying to think last week was a donut. We recommended
you guys to treat yourself with you know what, It's
getting a little nicer outside, so if you can, and
if you want to get yourself an ice cream cone
and enjoy.
Speaker 2 (01:02:18):
