...Or the Chris P show! We go back to Summer of '22 and talk about nostalgia, the concept – and cost – of letting someone get close to you and the general principles of Zombie/Infected lore. And if you're wondering why this is an email show and not the continuation of Left Behind...well, press play. 🤭

Speaker 1 (00:26):
Well, hello everybody. Well, it's like this like tenches like
static in my brain waiting for it to happen. But
I'm just like if I if I speak with the fist,
then maybe I'll outrun it. But I can't. I'll but anyway, AnyWho,
(00:46):
hello everybody, this is wayfair and strangers. I am Jack,
and as always, I am joined by Andrew. I was like, wait,
it's not Andrew's joke, corny.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
No, I'm joined by Wait, not this episode, because that's
not that kind of episode.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
Yeah, Andrew, I'm joined by Andrew.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
Hi, it's me.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
It is you.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
You are I am here, I'm present. I'm ready to
go through this absolute Britannica sized email list we have.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
No, it's actually gotten much smaller actually before we get
to that. So first you guys must be like, oh
my god, why another email show, because I have noticed
that the listenership takes it hit whenever we do an
email show, and I get it, I one hundred percent
get it. You guys are like, I want to hear
about left Behind or the Games or you know, Jack
(01:48):
and Andrew's opinions of the world building. I off thousand
percent good. Whenever I have a favorite podcast and they're like, oh,
we have a guest on today. I'm like, fucking skip,
Like we all have our things with that, okay, but
fucking guests.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
God damn it.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
I know we had minus Jeffrey Pierce, who jeff we
love you, Come back, Come back. I'm gonna blow my
rose whistle from Titanic to get them back. Anyway, I'm
in a mood, so there's gonna be some energy, like
a good mood, but just very slap happy mood. It's
an email show because we really need to get these
(02:25):
done before twenty twenty five. So I'm annoyed that we
started left Behind and we have one episode out in
the world and people seem to be enjoying it very much,
and we got wonderful feedback about how much detail is
involved and they want that detail. So we're gonna keep
doing that. But I don't want these emails carrying to
(02:48):
twenty five.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
So there are albatross we need to finish. We need
we really do need it. We need to close the circuit.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
So if if the next few weeks are just email shows,
we hope you guys understand. Maybe we'll sprinkle in a
left Behind or something as a surprise, just.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
Do it every other week? You know, every other week
is a left Behind everything.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
I know, but like this week, so we're recording this
on November November thirteenth, Next week we could do a
left Behind show, But then the following week is Thanksgiving.
So I'm like, do we drop during holidays? Probably shouldn't,
so then that skips a week, and then Christmas would
skip a week and then fucking New Year's and I'm like, no,
the looking at the schedule, I want the emails done.
(03:33):
So if there's a bulk of these, we hope you
guys stick around and stay with us, because left Behind
is like the notes are are done, they're just waiting
for us to fucking talk about them. But dropping two
episodes a week sets up a precedent that completely overwhelmed me.
So yeah, that's why we're here.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
We're editing. We do zero editing on email shows. How
about that zero editing worts and all we leave it in?
Speaker 1 (04:00):
Yes, the only thing we know, the only thing we
do there we go, trust me, the only.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
Motherbucker.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
The only thing we do know edits for is our
pre and post show. And even that I will cut
it like if I'm hacking or something on the audio.
I'm like, I'm gonna cut that. Yeah, that was gross.
You got a little like throaty towards the end with liquid.
So wow, Yes, thank you guys for understanding. We just
need to And that kind of makes my brain feel better.
(04:34):
Like all the email's done and then it's just left
Behind straight into part two, newest email that we receive
right up front of those episodes. You know what I'm saying, Like,
we keep it into a flow. It's good.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
I shouldn't even a stream left Behind until twenty twenty five. Unbelievable.
You knock it off, unbelievable.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
A part of me is like, maybe I should unpublish
the left Behind episode.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
No, it's already out there. Unbelievable. Yeah, people are like,
what the happened?
Speaker 3 (05:07):
Where is that? So?
Speaker 1 (05:09):
Because I took the email on our episode two weeks ago,
would you like to take this first email?
Speaker 2 (05:15):
Sure? I can do that. It's a long one.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
It's not that long. It's long, but it's not that long.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
Yeah. Man, it's taking up the entirety of my twenty
seven inch monitor. So you know it's.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
Not because you're you're old and your font is huge.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
So that's not true. It's the standard. I do the
font exactly, no plus minus at all. This is just
what our notes is doing here. All right, here we
go from the Year of Our Lord, twenty twenty two.
This is July twenty seventh from Chris Iosec Chris P
(05:48):
Chris P. Bacon. All right, here we go, Jacket Andrew,
great show. I just want to linger on that for
a while. Okay, thank you, Chris.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
From July of twenty twenty two. We appreciate that.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
Your format is solidifying into a truly entertaining podcast. I
can hear the work you put into evolving it. It's
really good stuff. Points of note for me. I like
to talk about fathers and daughters and the need for affirmation.
That's a good thing for dads to hear, myself included.
I'm cognizant of it, and I try to do that
with my daughter. But you're right, Jack in that if
(06:22):
you aren't thinking about it, it can be missed, and
it's no one's fault, but it's still a missed opportunity.
So thanks for the reminder. You're welcome. There you go, Chris.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
I know I remember vaguely talking about Joel and Sarah.
I believe, but again it's been two almost two and.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
A half years. It might be about It might also
be about Ellie, like how she, you know, was looking
for some you know. Yeah, it could be yeah, in
those notes you find throughout Pittsburgh. It's neat hearing the
names of places because they are accurate. I've heard Liberty Avenue,
Troy Hill. There are others that I forget, but these
are real places in Pittsburgh and not necessarily well known
(07:05):
to outsiders. It seems like a Neil Druckman. I went
to Carnegie Mellon and I know the city kind of thing.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
So pretty neat.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
There you go, there you go. This is the third point.
I appreciate the strong opinions. The discourse about these games
is welcome, and when something doesn't make sense, For example,
Joel's utter forgetfulness about being careful with his identity, it's
certainly warranted.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
I can't. I couldn't imagine what you're referring to.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
Well, he's gonna give you the case in point shortly
to two comments. One, I love that because well, we
don't live in Pittsburgh. We've the majority of our lives
have predominantly been in Philadelphia. But we know, like when
we watch movies that involve Philadelphia, especially like going Back
to Rocky, which is one of the biggest ones that
everyone you know associates with the city because wow, you'd
(07:55):
damn well right.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
Betteris national treasure erasure.
Speaker 4 (08:00):
God anyway, like you, you and I always joke about
the fact that he runs from like the Italian Market
to the fucking Museum in like five seconds flat.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
There is an actual annual race called the Rocky Race,
and it's a fifty k yeah, because that's what he
fucking does in the movie. But nobody knows that unless
you're from the city. So it's just one of those
things where it's very appreciative when you're from a certain place,
especially a place of like significant cultural value. Yeah, that
(08:33):
it's recognized and represented appropriately. So I'm glad that that
happened with uh, Pittsburgh.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Yeah, Rocky can run to all those places, but not
in that order as what I'll say, No, that's Kensington
doesn't connect to the Museum. There's many things in between
those two places, that's all I'll say.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
Yeah, but it makes me wonder if people legitimately believe
that and I would say more people than not do.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Probably, I mean, they have no reference. You want to
take it at face value that you know, Oh yeah,
it's a Philadelphia city of neighborhoods like many cities, but
I think maybe Philadelphia maybe a little bit more so
strongly proud people of neighborhoods you know in that montage
(09:19):
do not connect. So yeah, they do not. They're not
even neighbors of neighbors. They're i know, like, for instance,
fifty k apart. You know, so well fifty k see,
I know, it's the whole thing. It's the whole, the whole,
it's the whole round trip. Yeah, but you end at
the art museum, you know, or the Rocky Steps is
(09:40):
they're lovingly referred to.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
Yeah, legitimately, I love it, even though he's off to
the side of those steps instead of Jed Center anymore.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
So.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
Number two, I'm glad you appreciate the strong opinions. Chris.
If you are still listening to this show, hello, because
they will be kicking up with a the Vengeance come
part two, and I know you're about to talk about that.
So yeah, I mean, I'm gonna call out the plot
lines or the plot holes rather where and when I
(10:10):
see fit if.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
There are any, But here we go, Chris continues, case
in point Part two is amazing on all fronts, both
narrative and technical. It's a masterpiece, but it's not without
its faults. Personally, I'm baffled by the farm that could
never happen. It's like they just decided to forget about
the roving bands of sadistic murderers and the hordes of
(10:34):
flesh heating infected Ellie and Dina and little Potato just
fall asleep with the windows open and pretend it's twenty
twelve or something. They have an eight foot fence with
barbed wire, so I guess the farm is impenetrable. It's ludicrous.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
Yes, obviously, I disagree with the fact that it's amazing
on all fronts. I think from a narrative point of view,
it failed greatly. Technically it's perfect, but the farm. I
never By the time we got to the farm in
part two, I was just so done with the fucking
game that I wasn't thinking that critically. But now that
(11:12):
I'm reading this email again or you're reading it to me,
I agree. I feel like I had that one moment
playing it like, is that it like just just an
eight inch an eight foot fence, an eight inch an
eight foot fence and windows. Yeah, like this is Yeah,
it's too idyllic for a world that is no longer idyllic. Unfortunately, Sure, sure, sure, sure,
(11:38):
for sure.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
All right, here's Chris continues zo point four here. Oh geez,
I know we're not quite there yet, but Henry and Sam, Well,
it's so tragic. Just thinking about Henry in those thirty
seconds between having a hopeful morning and suicide chokes me up. Yeah,
(11:59):
of all this following up on that, of all the
stuff that gives Ellie PTSD in sleepless nights, this horrible
scene must be high up on the list. The emotional
toll next time will be about a forty out of ten. See, Chris,
I could see that you're also a person that doesn't
respect the rules just how math works, you know, it's
just it's.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
A matter of opinion fractions. Yeah, that was awful, and
I think for a long time that probably was the
highest thing on Ellie's list of PTS things. But if
you go back to just what happened with Riley, which
took place before all of this, I mean, presumably she
(12:43):
had to kill her best friend, So you know, is
that worse than Henry and Sam? I don't know. We
will discuss that on our Left Behind shows when we
eventually resume them next week.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
First thing and the fifth point from Chris, I can't
help you doing this chapter through the lens of Joel's
history from the fan fiction titled Dirt.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
I guess we've talked about this many times.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
Yeah, I'm sure.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
I'm sure we talked about two weeks ago.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
Yeah, I'm sure we did.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
His past as a Hunter was well written and as
good a look into his past as I think we're
going to get. It didn't make him look evil, but
it definitely made him seem like a piece of shit
for a time. Tommy pulled him out of it, though
it fits really well into the story. In my opinion,
Joel certainly ain't no boy scout. Thanks again, keep up
(13:38):
the good work, Chris. PS. FYI heard my deleted account
on Twitter. Geez the politics on there. I joined for
the comic book and Star Wars stuff, and I get
pulled into these quote unquote conversations that only infuriate me.
It's the opposite of what I wanted but I can't
(13:58):
not comment on the insanity. That's my failing. But still
I needed a.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
Break, yeah, I mean jumping right to the end. We
all broke up with Twitter, so it's all good. Two
and a half years in the future, you know, Elon
came along and fucking ruined everything. But going back, so yes,
the dirt fan fiction. I will one day read it.
You know, It's just one of those things I don't
like being repeatedly told to do, watch or read something
(14:27):
because then I'm like, well, now I'm just going to
take my damn time. I don't know where that comes from.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
Friends, you know, here I am sitting and screaming, kicking
and screaming, that's what he calls it. She hasn't watched
The Godfather.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
Too many people have told me to see it.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
Too many people have told you it's an amazing film,
potentially the greatest, one of the greatest of our generation.
And you're like, well, here's the problem. Too many people
told me that it was good, and.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
Now here's what happens. This has happened every fucking time.
There has not been a single time where I've wont oh, no,
I'm lying. One time one time that I can think
of within the last five years, something was recommended to
me and I fucking obsessively loved on it, and that
was Barb.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
Reckon.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
Oh my god, that was Barb recommending me The Greatest
Showman with Hugh Jackman and Michelle Williams and all that
one you'll get perfect, perfect recommendation. And at first I
was like, you know, oh, it came out right around
Star Wars The Last Jedi, and the Last Jedi didn't
do as well it should have done because The Greatest
Showman got a billion dollars and I was just all
(15:45):
a blowhard about that, and then I was like, fuck this.
I'm watching it because I love Hugh Jackman and I
now we watch it every Christmas morning. It's like our thing,
so I understand. But like the most recent thing that
we watched that two of my best friends in the world,
we're old love like Love the Row was Trick or
(16:05):
Treat the movie with fucking Little Sam, like Sam is
a sack or whatever. I don't know that. You and
I sat next to each other on Halloween night and
we pause the movie at one point looked at each other, people,
I need to set up this scene. We're sitting on
our couch lovely. Our daughter is out trick or treating
with her friends, having the fucking time of her life.
It's like eight thirty eight forty five. We just had
(16:27):
some some wonderful Mexican food for dinner and we're just
you know, having a date night. And did we have
a bananas that night?
Speaker 2 (16:37):
Yeah? We did.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
And then pause the fucking movie with twenty five minutes left,
and both of us connected eyeballs and we were like,
should we finish this? It was so fucking bad. I
was getting mad. I was like this, I don't understand.
Like five different fucking stories happened in a matter of
(16:59):
ninety minutes, none of them. It was like, there was
a movie that came before this movie that you and
I never saw. It is what it felt like. It
was so fun, so bad. Before that Requiem for a Dream,
somebody was like, oh my god, it's so hard hitting
and impactful and emotional, and you need to see this.
It's groundbreaking, it's life changing, blah blah. I was fucking
(17:21):
I was like, don't you ever fucking tell me to
watch a movie like that again. I hated every second
of it.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
That's just Darren Aronofski Films.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
Baby, yeah, I I so this. I've seen TV shows
where I'm like, this is boring, but everyone loves them.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
You gotta watch Bosh. Wow, I've never seen Bosh. I've
never Oh my god, that's one that people just say like,
Bosh is amazing, and I'm like, it literally can't be.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
I'm sorry if you like, I'm sure it is.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
It's just not for me. It's just not for me.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
But like Yellowstone, I know I will fucking love Yellowstone.
I feel that well, But okay, you and I a
couple of years ago, we started watching The Departed. That
Departed and I hated it. I was like, we are
like an hour and ten minutes into this, and I
looked at you and I was like, is this how
the rest of the fucking movie is? And you laughed
(18:19):
and you were like yeah, and I was.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
Like, fairness, I didn't for The Departed. I didn't know
if you would. I didn't go in saying like this movie,
this is a great movie. I was just like, we
could watch The Departed.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
Oh no, no, no, no, you and it's Martin's yeah,
that's great and all, but like it just was not
for me. So I get weary with people recommending the
same thing to me over and over and over again.
I'm like, oh God, it's built up too big in
my head, so please do not take it personally. It's
a me thing. I'm the problem. It's me. Hi, I'm
(18:54):
the problem. It's me. Thank you, Taylor Swift.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
But like it hasn't played the God of War twenty eighteen.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
Or Horizon Forbidden West.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
Horizon Forbidden West, the craziest thing, the craziest she olds.
Speaker 3 (19:10):
Them, I do.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
I think the only Okay, there are several people who
have who have good recommendations for me every once in
a while. So I'm not gonna sit there and be like, oh,
there's only one person. You normally are the best judge
when it comes for stuff for me, And there are
things yet I know there. And there are things.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
God of War goes unplayed that you.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
Will watch and you'll just be like, oh no, no,
you wouldn't like that. Just put it, put it out
of your mind.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
Yeah, So I don't know, I know what her instant knows.
You know. That's that's it, that's it. That's an that's
an easy list, you know. Yeah, And then the yes
is sometimes it's like I think you should try this,
even if you know, even if you don't dig all
of it, it's still pretty good, you know.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
Yeah, Like, I'm sure i'll love the Bear. I'm sure
I will love.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
I'm sure you would.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
What's what's the show that?
Speaker 2 (20:13):
Everyone?
Speaker 3 (20:13):
What is the show?
Speaker 2 (20:14):
You know?
Speaker 4 (20:15):
It?
Speaker 1 (20:15):
Didn't it just end? It's like five seasons you Mike
Crystall talked about it. Not outer Banks, Outer Banks. That's
a new Netflix thing one who gives a fuck? But
or maybe I don't know if it's new, I don't care.
But oh, it's like a popular show with Jason Bateman.
I think Ozark Ozark. I knew there was an o
(20:38):
in there, like I haven't seen that.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
Knew there was potentially some kind of a bank, and
it started with an oh it is it's the bank
of the Ozark. The Ozarks, the Lake of the Ozarks
have banks. Yes, Ozark. Quite good, quod And.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
I'm sure I will love that. I still have to
watch several seasons of Fargo, but I just you know,
I go at my own pace, and sometimes that's glacial.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
I understand.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
No, you don't even watch that, you don't even watch that,
knock it off? So all right, Anyway, I'm sorry this
just spiral because of the dirt recommendation, because we literally
talked about it on the other email show two weeks
ago and Mary recommended it.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
We're doing it.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
Yeah, well one day, one day.
Speaker 2 (21:24):
You report back. I need that report on my desk
by Tuesday morning.
Speaker 1 (21:27):
All right, So we're gonna jump to the next email
from Chris piasec Piasechi Chrispy again from August fifth, twenty
twenty two. Hello, Awayfair and Strangers. There's a little convenience
store by us that used to be a stop and
go back in the eighties. From about fourth grade through
middle school, my friends and I would walk or ride
(21:48):
our bikes to Stop and Go to buy comic books
and play their one arcade game, and of course to
buy candy. The spinner rack was always stuffed with these
latest comic books, Amazing Spider Man, grew the Wanderer, Conan,
Justice League, Gi Joe, the Avengers, you name it, and
new comics came in weekly. Gone are the days of
(22:09):
the Spinner Rack. They used to be in every store
and I miss them immensely. Stop and Go had one
video game. In quotations and parentheses limit three kids at
a time, and they would change it out about every
two months or so. My friends and I would beg
our parents recorders or steal them from our older siblings's
dressers and blow them on. Shinobi, Goony's Two, Dig Doug, Superman,
(22:33):
and Karate Champ.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
All quarter eaters. Every single one of those games absolute
quarter eaters.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
Sure did you play any of them?
Speaker 2 (22:43):
Yeah? I played most of them.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
I don't think I've ever heard of Karate Champ.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
Then you haven't lived.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
Well, then I haven't lived.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
What do I know?
Speaker 1 (22:54):
At one point they had Spy Hunter, the car game
with the with the Peter gunn sound.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
Oh my gosh, Spy Hunter.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
We played the hell out of that game. Stop and
Go was a regular destination and it was freaking awesome.
It was close to us and it had all of
our essentials. My mom would even send me in there
to buy her cigarettes cool one hundreds.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
Wow, my mom sted the same cigarettes? Did we live
the same life? Chris?
Speaker 1 (23:23):
Philadelphia and Pittsburgh ain't that far apart.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
It's so weird and yet so far apart.
Speaker 1 (23:28):
But in nineteen eighty four, eleven year old kids could
just go and buy cigarettes without any hassole, which is
fucking crazy.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
My mom used to send me to the corner store
with five bugs, get me a pack of cools. Okay,
I'm six years old.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
I'm pretty sure my mom and dad would send my
sister and I down to Joe's on the corner market
and we would buy Camels or Marlboro.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
Okay, yeah, I mean, hey, you know, what are you
gonna do?
Speaker 1 (23:57):
It was Marvel for a while, and then they were like,
all right, let's which to Camel's light because that's a
little bit better.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
I mean, I guess yeah.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
And then I think I got to be like maybe
twelve or thirteen, and I was like, I'm not doing
this for you anymore. I'm not enabling this. And they
got all mad at me and they were like, you know,
we work all day. Can you just walk down the
street and buy our cigarettes? And I was like no,
because this shit's bad for you.
Speaker 2 (24:18):
So now now I will take the moral high grounds.
Speaker 1 (24:22):
Yeah, I was like, I'm gonna go and buy a
giant pickle out of that big ass pickle barrel which
everybody reaches their nasty ass hands in, and that's still
helps somehow fucking safer than yell cigarettes. Yes, Oh long,
live Joe's anyway. Eventually, Stopping Go became co gos Co Goes.
(24:43):
The spinner rack vanished, and so did the arcade games.
But by then my friends and I had graduated to
cars and we didn't need arcade games because we had consoles,
but we still bought comics. I bring this all up
because Cogs recently changed owners and their name. My son
pointed this out while having passed it, and it made
me laugh. It's now wait for it, everyone, Are you ready.
Speaker 2 (25:05):
Andrew, I'm clenched. Here we go. It's now food Mart.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
That sucks so bad, Crystal sorry, he was like, Dad,
can you think of a more generic PlayStation two store
name than food Mart?
Speaker 2 (25:22):
Food Mark?
Speaker 1 (25:24):
Well, it's kind of a perfect video gamesh shit name.
That's regards Chris Biseki.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
Look, here's the thing I tell I tell everybody this. Now,
you know, naming stuff is hard and people will just
slave over. They'll get this, like, all right, I have
my business plan done, I have my financial documents in order.
I have a complete return on investment. I have a plan.
(25:51):
I have a ten year plan for my business. I
don't know what to call it, though, I have no idea.
What you call it. Meanwhile, this guy over here named
joh puts up fences and what's the name of his business,
Joe's Fences Done. And he just has that spray painted
on the side of his van. Is like, do you
need a fence from a guy named Joe? Go to
(26:13):
Joe's Fences dot com. Actually it's probably like Joe's Fencescolm
dot com. That's like his domain name, com dot com
and uh, that's it. Don't worry about what you name stuff.
Here's another great example. What the guys at the boardroom
who bought it changed hands. They're like, what do we
do primarily? And the guy's like, well, we're a.
Speaker 1 (26:34):
Mart and we sell food.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
We sell different kinds of food. And the guys like
food Mart, let's ship.
Speaker 1 (26:41):
It done done And unless this keeping it simple sometimes
is good.
Speaker 2 (26:48):
Was this named by an NPC? Probably probably, but god
damn it, that's funny.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
But stop and go, I like cog.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
It's funny out around us. Is that I'm trying to
think of where I see them, but I've seen them
multiple times now where maybe it's down in Virginia. They
have a place called Come and Go.
Speaker 1 (27:10):
Oh, I've seen that. I left.
Speaker 2 (27:13):
I'm sorry spelled. I think the K I think it's
k U M, which is un good. See there, that's
where it's swung in the opposite direction where they should
have just probably called that like food Mark two or so,
you know, saying.
Speaker 1 (27:32):
Sure, oh it just yeah. It makes me sad thinking
about the old stores that we're right around the corner
from our house because we lived you know, very inner city,
tight neighborhoods, YadA, YadA, YadA. And now if you and
I have to go anywhere except for like CVS, and
CVS is still a mile walk from our door, sure,
which is fine and pleasant, but beyond that, it's like
(27:56):
we got to get in the car and whatever. I'm
not you know, bitch.
Speaker 2 (28:01):
Philadelphia still has those stores you know that, don't the
corner stores that are owned there's like some guy turned
his row home into uh you know yeah still yeah. Yeah.
So the infrastructure it's not as walkable here as it is,
you know. You know that's the thing.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
You would get fucking hit by a car or doer
depending food mart.
Speaker 2 (28:27):
I want to go to food Mart. No, you don't.
I'd go to food Mart. Here's the Here's the funny
thing is like some of those places have like legit.
They are like every kind of corner store, at least
in the Philadelphia area. Like if you get down in
South Philly and you find one of these, like you know,
in South Philadelphia, more likely than not you're going to
(28:49):
get like it's going to be like it's Paisanos or
something like that. You know what I'm saying. Then, So
but you go in there and it's like, oh, Paisanos,
let me, I'll tell you yest roast beef sandwich I've
had in my life. It's like, oh, they always have
one banger thing in those stores. So maybe food Mart
(29:09):
does too.
Speaker 1 (29:10):
Maybe maybe I've been I well and talking about like
you know, gas station, food marts, stop and go, come
and go, whatever kind of whatever y'all into. But I'm
a big like YouTube channel subscriber person. I love listening
and watching certain channels when I'm like walking on the
treadmill or working on a project or whatever. It's just
(29:33):
it's like mind numbing content sometimes and sometimes it's true
crime whatever. But my most recent obsession and now I
have followed her for years, but I never really dove
into her content on YouTube. But her her channel name
is Christine snaps and I Christine, if you somehow ever
hear this, I love you. I'n be friends because you're
(29:55):
just fucking amazing and funny and such a delight. But
it is like ADHD, a constant stream of ADHD. She sings,
she talks a mile a minute, she opens up mail,
she tries, she goes to gas stations to people watch,
She goes to gas stations to try like their new
foods and things like this, Like it's just one of
(30:17):
those things. So it made me laugh thinking of her, like,
oh well, this used to be the stop and go
and then it was the co goes and now it's
food Mart. So let's see what new shit they have,
and we're gonna try this as I sit in my car,
and like the one time she got fucking food poisoning,
and it's not funny to get food poisoning. It's terrible.
But the way that she edited the video, she was
(30:38):
just like, I'm gonna put a filter when I am
eating certain things, just to be like, look at the regret,
look at the regret on her face. So yeah, I'm
my brain. I don't know. Just one went to her
channel and two I'm like, how fun would it be
to visit some of these places from our childhood that
just have been gone, probably for twenty years. And by fun,
(30:59):
I mean said got dark dark anyway, Christine snaps, I
love you.
Speaker 2 (31:08):
It would be good to go visit these places from
our childhood that are probably gone. Surprise, I'm sorry.
Speaker 1 (31:20):
How about you bring the mood back up. We'll read
one more email from Chris.
Speaker 2 (31:24):
Okay, we can just we could call this the Sepiaseki
Show and just go through all of his emails. We
got time, all right, Here we go. August nineteenth, twenty
twenty two.
Speaker 1 (31:36):
Oh day, Wait, it's August fifth.
Speaker 2 (31:39):
Wait a minute, sorry I scrolled too far. Wait a minute. No,
oh no, you're right.
Speaker 1 (31:43):
I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm I'm sorry. As you're talking,
I'm like formatting the document for our future show, just
to make our life easier, so I deleted previous emails.
Speaker 2 (31:54):
Stop it.
Speaker 1 (31:55):
No, sorry, okay.
Speaker 2 (31:58):
Chris rights on August twenty twenty two. Hi, Jack and Andrew.
I'm halfway through episode eighteen. I had a sixty foot yacht.
And the discussion on the podcast just turned to Joel's
burgeoning attitude towards accepting others. Other road companions or people
that you could possibly get closer to and maybe befriend.
(32:18):
I like that you guys are feeling the vibes as
they come and not jumping ahead to what eventually happens,
because both of those situations have horrific outcomes. The world
building story of Ish is terrible, albeit amazingly well crafted,
and the story of Sam and Henry is arguably even worse.
(32:39):
It seems to me that both of these tales are
examples of just what Bill had talked about, get close
to people in this world and you'll regret it. At
this point in the game, everything is geared towards putting
the beat down on Joel's psyche and making him second
guess his relationship with Ellie. The physical part of cross
country journey for Joel and Ellie is compared to the
(33:01):
mental barrage they have to go through. In my opinion,
peace out.
Speaker 1 (33:06):
Chris, Yeah, I completely agree. And just as a reminder,
Ish is the storyline that was told through artifacts in
the Sewer chapter.
Speaker 2 (33:15):
Yeah, that was a great I mean I was kind
of hoping that we would get some of that in
the show.
Speaker 1 (33:23):
Yeah, and we got a little bit, did we not?
I think there was a very mind like minuscule reference.
But again, we've only watched the show fully twice wow,
once when we were watch on Sunday nights, and then
I watched it to break it down and do the
notes for the podcast, and I don't really consider that
(33:43):
a watch through. So I'm gonna say I've only seen
it once.
Speaker 2 (33:45):
Yeah, So I feel like they had at least I
feel like it was mentioned. I could be misremembering that.
But in the game the that's like an incredible environmental
storytelling moment, and it's one of those things where it's
like there are people who I don't mean potentially maybe
(34:08):
who were like, I don't know, what do you mean?
Speaker 3 (34:10):
Ish?
Speaker 2 (34:11):
You know?
Speaker 1 (34:12):
Yeah, And that goes back to what we talked about
with left Behind in the story note the artifact with
the soldiers, and it's like these stories are very missible, yeah,
unless you make a point to do that, and we
really hope that people do because it just enrichest things tenfold.
So oh, that was sad. I forgot about Ish for
a hot second while we were reading this, but talking
(34:36):
about Joel specifically here and wants to come inevitably in
part two. I'm not going to talk too much about that,
but in this moment him struggling with basically how to
toe the line on Okay, this is how I've lived
my life for twenty years, with checks and balances here
(34:57):
and there and losing people and not necessarily gaining trust
of others, but certainly trust enough, like with his relationship
with Tess, that they are reliable to one another, and
that is a that is certainly a level of trust.
But yeah, I think going through the Sewer was absolutely
(35:18):
like the writing is literally on the walls, Joel, if
you continue on this journey, something inevitably is going to
happen to you, So be careful, like do you want
to let this person in because you know what can happen.
Oh gosh. That was one of my favorite parts to
talk about in the in part one was the Sewer chapter.
(35:39):
So I'm glad that we got to this email to
just kind of talk about that and relive it a
little bit.
Speaker 2 (35:45):
Yeah, it builds the This is the thing that really
the first game does pretty beautifully. It's a magic trick
until you it's it's basically transparent until you either revisit
the game or re litigate it through something like our
podcast or whatever where. Sure, they are simultaneously telling the
(36:09):
story of these two people while also building an incredible
case against why it's a bad idea, right, And those
two things are happening at the exact same time. They
are in conversation, and they are also intention and that's amazing. Like,
kudos to this team for what they were able to
(36:33):
accomplish here.
Speaker 1 (36:35):
Yeah, I agree, a cautionary tale.
Speaker 2 (36:38):
It's harder to do how I don't know. I'm going
to back away from what I was just gonna say.
I would say it might be easier to do in
a game versus a movie because of the interactive nature
of it. Like, again, it's there if you find it
(37:02):
and want to experience it here in the game. Sure,
but it is not even if you completely missed issues story,
you're still well aware of Sam and Henry, and so
there's your There's just less evidence if you play it
a little bit more straightforward and you're not looking for
all the collectibles, which is kind of an interesting thing
(37:23):
to think about. The show did a really good job
with Sam and Henry too, I think.
Speaker 1 (37:28):
Yeah, I do agree.
Speaker 2 (37:30):
Those characters were given a little bit more to do.
We had not more time with them but like the
quality of time I think was better. There was a
much more the relationship because of the things that the
show changed about the characters, which I won't spoil. I
(37:52):
don't want to assume that you've watched it, or maybe
you didn't, whatever, but made them need each other more
and I thought that was really really lovely. So yeah,
this was agreed. This was one of the highlights of
the game. Like this, I agree with you that this
section the sewers from the town, from the Salm, and
I'll just say this at overarching the Salm and Henry
(38:16):
section of the game was great.
Speaker 1 (38:17):
Absolutely, yeah. I mean, we could talk about it again
like we did back when we covered the episode, which
apparently that was episode eighteen I believe Chris wrote, So,
you know, maybe we just got to re listen to that, and.
Speaker 2 (38:32):
We're on episode nine thousand.
Speaker 1 (38:35):
Now technically the next Left Cool, the next Left Behind
episode will be thirty two, so not quite double but
that far but close. Yeah, all right, let's do another one.
This is from Chris p September eighth, twenty twenty two. Hello,
(38:56):
am my fellow podcasters. I am watching walkthroughs of the
hype detailed world of the Last of US PS five remake.
It's a feast for the eyes. And just as a reminder,
the remake for the Last of Us Part one came
out on September second, twenty twenty two, and I remember
that because one it was like one of the best
days of my life, and two I got a tattoo.
I got a Last of Us tattoo that day, So
(39:17):
just a wonderful day.
Speaker 2 (39:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (39:19):
So this was yeah, but it very much still is
a feast for the eyes. FYI do not have a
PS five so YouTube. That is where Chris watched the
playthroughs as a designer. I am blown away by the
brilliance of the textures and surfaces and everything else in
this new game. Decay and Ruin has never looked so good.
(39:42):
I agree, but now more than ever, an old vexation
rears its ugly head and it's more applicable. Considering the
conversation around kerth Money's comment about quote suspending your disbelief
with the vaccine for fungal infections, Joel and Joel Tests
and Ellie Bear hug these clickers and stick knives in
(40:02):
their throats and punch them and smash their heads in
with pipes spraying infected blood and fluids everywhere, and this
stuff is all over our heroes's clothes, and there are
no washing machines to speak of, and showers are far
and few between, and they have got to have cuts
and lacerations all over them from this world and its
(40:22):
hardness and chaos. If we're talking about scenarios where you
have to suspend your disbelief, the fact that Joel isn't
infected already from being covered in clicker bud is blood, Bud,
his clicker buddy, sorry, already being covered in clicker blood
is a friggin' miracle. It would have happened like four
(40:44):
thousand times by now. Not to mention Abby regularly bare
fisted punches clickers in the mouth instant infection. Lady, thanks
keep up the excellent work. My friend's peace out Chris,
so uh completely agree. I mean you and I have
talked about this. Are you clearing?
Speaker 2 (41:01):
I have the floor? May I have the floor? I
think this is now more than ever m video game
ass shit.
Speaker 1 (41:08):
Yes yep. But here's the thing, and I think this
is specific to me because I am strong opinion, strongly held.
I nitpick a lot of shit and then I will
give a pass to other stuff. So anyone listening at home,
if you're like Jack, well you did trust me. I
very trust.
Speaker 2 (41:29):
Me, trust me, trust me.
Speaker 1 (41:33):
I very much am aware of the hypocrite that I
certainly can be on this show. And you know what,
I don't care. It's my show.
Speaker 2 (41:42):
I don't care. I don't it's my show. I'm taking
my ball and I'm going exactly.
Speaker 1 (41:49):
I'm gonna kick a little sand, kick a little rock,
and then turn around and put my nose in the
air and walk away. But I completely agree. We've talked
about this. I think we we we really dove into
it in the TV show because that's where video game
ass shit really can't cross the barrier.
Speaker 2 (42:09):
For me, and then it becomes movie ass shit. Yes,
and that's a different kind of as it is.
Speaker 1 (42:14):
It is because it's less there's less forgiveness there. There's
still some forgiveness, okay, because it is the movies, it
is the TV shows, whatever, but it's still not as
video game ass shit. So okay, to sum it up
one hundred percent, we could talk about this for an hour.
It's video game ass shit. Pikachuo's the battles.
Speaker 2 (42:35):
I'm gonna I'll push back gently here, Okay, Okay, now
I'm going to apply the rules of zombies to the
last of us. Okay, now there aren't now, as we know,
the zombie genre contains multitudes. Okay. Yeah, However, some things
(42:57):
are just true, right ZOMBI you gotta shoot him in
the head, right, yeah, Okay, great, we understand that zombies,
if they bleed on you, that doesn't do anything to you.
In some zombie lore.
Speaker 1 (43:12):
Okay, I would say most zombie Laura, I never really
heard about blood affecting people.
Speaker 2 (43:17):
I'll name one in a moment. Okay. The zombie lore
is you need to be bitten. That's it, Like, that's
if it and that is that is it. Now. Some
zombie things are like, well I got bit, but if
I cut the arm off before xyz then yeah. But
(43:39):
some other zombie things are like a bite is a bite,
You're done right twenty eight days later, which you could
argue are not zombies. There's something different, and I would
hear your argument about that. But let's you know, for
the sake of blumping these together, there's zombies. That was
a movie where it's transmissible through blood. So it was
(44:02):
transmissible through blood and animals. So there was a scene,
not to get too graphic, where crows are feasting and
then a crows flying above. This murder of crows is
flying above is very symbolic scene. And just the tiniest
little drop of blood falls from a flying crow's beak
and hits a character right in the eye and that
(44:24):
character is toast in pretty short order.
Speaker 1 (44:30):
Would piss me off.
Speaker 2 (44:34):
Imagine, you know, if you're if your zombie infection could
have been prevented by something as silly as an umbrella hat.
You know, we're just looking down right right, or just
not looking up at the crows in the sky.
Speaker 1 (44:47):
Yeah, just look down.
Speaker 2 (44:49):
That's why it was. You know, it's that goes to
show some zombie lore. A scratch will get you. Most
zombie lare not true. So it's like, whether we're talking
about the game or the show, I'm just here to say, like,
the rules are not hard and firm. Yeah, you know,
(45:11):
like we know what definitely turns you, and that's all
I can glom onto. I'm not going to hit them
with the technicality, be like whirre fuck you see how
fungus work. You know, I'm not gonna.
Speaker 1 (45:28):
Yeah, I do remember vaguely that because Chris talked about
Kerth Money, who was somebody who wrote several many emails
to the show back in the day, and I remember
he and I did not agree. So there was some
ping pong emails back and forth, and we would read
them and then I would get a reply and so
on and so forth, and that's all well and good.
(45:50):
You know, your lure and belief system is what it
is as is mind. But I do remember kind of
going on a tangent about the suspension of disbelief and
how some things just have to be what they are
in the established universe that has been presented to us.
Speaker 2 (46:08):
Yeah, which is again fiction anyway. Again, Yeah, I don't
need everything explaining to me. Yes, I prefer it not
to be so we know, if you know, it would
be more ham fisted and arguably worse if a character
is like, well, I found, you know, if Joel finds
I found this list of all the ways you can
get infected. Here, let's go down. There's seven of them.
Speaker 1 (46:33):
Yeah, it's too much.
Speaker 2 (46:33):
Getting bit, you know, hitting a clicker in the head
too quick, you know, closely, and the blood spray or
you know, I don't.
Speaker 1 (46:42):
Although I do I do agree with what Chris said
about Abby. If you are full on punching a clicker
or an infected in the mouth, that that's I consider
that a bite. Because if you and I right now
just went outside and got into a fight with other people,
not ourselves, and I, you know, punched a woman in
the face, and you punched a dude in the face
(47:03):
if his, I will happily punch a fucking dude in
the face.
Speaker 2 (47:08):
And that's not to say I want to punch a
woman in the face.
Speaker 1 (47:12):
Due yeah, now I have. I got into a fight
with a teenage boy when I was a teenager. I
whooped his anyway. But if a tooth breaks your skin,
on your hand, on your arm, anywhere, you are going
to get infected. Just FYI, if this ever happens to
anybody listening, p s a from someone who's not in
the medical field but knows enough. If if a tooth
(47:34):
breaks your skin, go to the er because you need
to be on antibiotics immediately or you're gonna fucking get
an infection which could lead to sepsis, which could lead
to your death. I'm not fucking lying, babes, not that
kind of infection that's that's.
Speaker 2 (47:47):
Whole other bolster.
Speaker 1 (47:48):
But I agree with Abby being a fucking Abby, being
a fucking asshole and thinking that she's this, you know,
just I don't know, American Ninja warrior princess and punching
these infected in the mouth. She would die very quickly,
very very quickly, by the rules established in the Last
of Us Universe. But swinging pipes, wrenches, macheti shotguns, getting
(48:14):
blood splattered, that doesn't align with the rules. It's a bite.
Speaker 2 (48:19):
Yeah, that's I mean, that's what it has to be,
you know.
Speaker 1 (48:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (48:23):
Just to adjust one other thing, Chris, I mean, if
you're listening, or if not, or if you're just a
person listening here, let me tell you about this thing
called TLU on PS five pro.
Speaker 1 (48:34):
Here he goes here, he goes flex, saying, look, I
got it now, I know, I know. I'm happy for you,
and I love it. And I think you've inspired people
who listen to our show to potentially buy PS five
pros for themselves.
Speaker 2 (48:46):
So I've been told you I am. I have been
told that I'm very good at spending other people's money. Yes,
shout out to my buddy Mike, who tells me that
very regularly, who is also going to purchase the PS
five Pro. Coincidentally, I booted this game up. I'm going
to get the platinum for the last So when I
(49:08):
did the stream for Left Behind, that was basically just
two or three days before the PS five Pro arrived,
and it was among the first games that I tried,
so I had a very fresh comparison to base my
very scientific findings off of. You see, and good lord,
(49:31):
the amount of additional detail that is present is remarkable.
So and just as a fun fact, the if I do,
I mean, I have every intention of getting the platinum
because I only have like four or five trophies left.
Then they're all left Behind related. Sure, it'll be my
sixty ninth platinum trophy.
Speaker 1 (49:51):
Nice, nice night.
Speaker 2 (49:53):
It's a nice trophy to get and then I'm done
getting trophies for the rest of my life.
Speaker 1 (49:58):
Lies.
Speaker 2 (50:00):
Yeah, that is a lie.
Speaker 1 (50:01):
Yeah, big big older eye. Yeah, I'm excited for you
to do the arcade game where you have to uh
I'm not gonna say we have to do to get
that trophy, but that was probably the hardest one for
me and left mind, so enjoy, Okay, all right, fair enough,
it'll probably be the easiest fucking one for you because
you're a gamer.
Speaker 2 (50:18):
But I don't even know what you gotta do, so
I might have to look it up to uh I might,
I mean look up the details of the trophy, you know,
like if it's hidden, then I don't know what I
don't know.
Speaker 1 (50:27):
Oh no, no, no, Remember when Ellie and Riley share
that moment and she's like just pretend, yeah, that you're playing.
You have to do like a series of moves. There's
like I think several trophies for that. It's like, do
a series of moves without taking one hit in under
x amount of seconds and then the trophy will pomp.
Speaker 2 (50:47):
Yeah boy oh boy.
Speaker 1 (50:49):
So all right, like I said, half.
Speaker 2 (50:50):
On, good good luck, half fun, good luck, we live anyway.
Speaker 1 (50:56):
So yeah, we're gonna stop the show at.
Speaker 2 (50:59):
That because yeah, look at us.
Speaker 1 (51:04):
Yeah I'm a god. It's so much fun. But social
media and contact detail so Twitter, Telu podcast. But now
we're actually on Blue Sky, which is a thing. Yes,
we're over on Blue Sky at Telu podcast as well.
I haven't done anything over there yet. I literally signed
(51:25):
up this afternoon, so just you know, we'll we'll we'll
get there. Uh, Instagram, telou Podcasts. If you'd like to
email us, you can do that at telu podcast at
gmail dot com. Get your emails in now, please, so
we can just do all of these shows and wipe
the slate clean going into twenty twenty five. Please, for
(51:46):
the love of God for my sanity.
Speaker 2 (51:47):
The email shows will continue until morale improved.
Speaker 1 (51:53):
Our website is a telupodcast dot com. More fun stuff coming.
As I've been talking about the Ichik series and things
like that, I'm compiling the information slowly. We have a
lot of podcasts, if you know, you know so. HBO's
The Last of Us is slated to return in spring
of twenty twenty five, So the last cast will return
(52:16):
in spring of twenty twenty five. But I think we
have a little episode coming for y'all to round out
the emails that we received on that show as well,
along with the quote breaking news of announcements that we
will just compile together over the last few weeks. Our
next episode will be another email episode. Oh God, I
(52:37):
know you're probably sighing and tired of it already, but
please stay in with the long haul. These wonderful folks
and listeners just like you wrote into our show, took
the time, took the hours, took the mental energy. We
don't want this to go to waste. That's not fair.
Speaker 2 (52:51):
And honestly, listeners, all of our listeners right now, you're totally.
Speaker 3 (52:54):
Fucking with.
Speaker 1 (52:56):
No, not fucking with you. So yeah, we just want
to We want to appreciate and share, and this is
how we do that on this show. And we'll continue
to going forward in a much more manageable way. Uh So, Yeah,
the Left Behind. The Left Behind episodes will resume when
these email shows are done. And I and we made
(53:17):
a nice little dent today, so I feel good about that.
Speaker 2 (53:20):
You can just go watch me stream it terribly, you know.
Speaker 1 (53:23):
Yes, it's wonderful though, and it's a solid like two
hours and I think fifty three minutes of content, So

exact moment, and weirdly enough you And this is one
of those wonderful kis Mit things. I had followed you,
and then he followed you shortly thereafter, from completely different sources.
And I was upstairs working, he was downstairs Andrew's work
(54:22):
downstairs working, and he calls up. He's like, did you
just follow a lurker?

just a tiny little bit of our own west?
Speaker 2 (54:42):
One might say that we're wayfaring there, and uh, that's
all I'm comfortable saying at the moment.
Speaker 1 (54:47):
Okay, enough.
Speaker 2 (54:50):
We may or may not be using the stars for navigation.
I haven't decided yet.
Speaker 1 (54:54):
Oh all right, are we on the water? Who knows
you could use.
Speaker 2 (54:57):
The stars on land? I know, but it does certainly
is a more nautical approach to navigation. I understand, but
let's help.
Speaker 1 (55:05):
Out the sex stint. Let's go whoa, Let's go whoa.
Speaker 2 (55:08):
This show's PG. Can we keep this?

Thank you, and uh yeah, we'll be back next week.
Speaker 2 (55:38):
Bye bye.
Speaker 3 (55:40):
Now Nah, not quite what's up? Sell my car and Carvana.
(56:50):
It's just not quite the right time.
Speaker 1 (56:52):
Crazy coincidence. I just sold my car to Carvana, but
I told you about it two days ago, when you know,
you know, you know, I haven't even dropping it all
at one of those sweet car vending machines and getting
paid today.
Speaker 3 (57:03):
That's a good deal.
Speaker 1 (57:04):
Oh great deal. Come on, what's your heart saying?
Speaker 2 (57:07):
You're right?
Speaker 3 (57:07):
When you know you know sold?
Speaker 1 (57:09):
Whether you're looking to sell your car right now or
just whenever feels right, go to carvana dot com and
sell your car the convenient way. Terms and conditions apply.
Well, hello everybody. Well, it's like this like tenches like
static in my brain waiting for it to happen. But
I'm just like if I if I speak with the fist,
then maybe I'll outrun it. But I can't. I'll but anyway, AnyWho,
(00:46):
hello everybody, this is wayfair and strangers. I am Jack,
and as always, I am joined by Andrew. I was like, wait,
it's not Andrew's joke, corny.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
No, I'm joined by Wait, not this episode, because that's
not that kind of episode.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
Yeah, Andrew, I'm joined by Andrew.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
Hi, it's me.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
It is you.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
You are I am here, I'm present. I'm ready to
go through this absolute Britannica sized email list we have.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
No, it's actually gotten much smaller actually before we get
to that. So first you guys must be like, oh
my god, why another email show, because I have noticed
that the listenership takes it hit whenever we do an
email show, and I get it, I one hundred percent
get it. You guys are like, I want to hear
about left Behind or the Games or you know, Jack
(01:48):
and Andrew's opinions of the world building. I off thousand
percent good. Whenever I have a favorite podcast and they're like, oh,
we have a guest on today. I'm like, fucking skip,
Like we all have our things with that, okay, but
fucking guests.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
God damn it.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
I know we had minus Jeffrey Pierce, who jeff we
love you, Come back, Come back. I'm gonna blow my
rose whistle from Titanic to get them back. Anyway, I'm
in a mood, so there's gonna be some energy, like
a good mood, but just very slap happy mood. It's
an email show because we really need to get these
(02:25):
done before twenty twenty five. So I'm annoyed that we
started left Behind and we have one episode out in
the world and people seem to be enjoying it very much,
and we got wonderful feedback about how much detail is
involved and they want that detail. So we're gonna keep
doing that. But I don't want these emails carrying to
(02:48):
twenty five.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
So there are albatross we need to finish. We need
we really do need it. We need to close the circuit.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
So if if the next few weeks are just email shows,
we hope you guys understand. Maybe we'll sprinkle in a
left Behind or something as a surprise, just.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
Do it every other week? You know, every other week
is a left Behind everything.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
I know, but like this week, so we're recording this
on November November thirteenth, Next week we could do a
left Behind show, But then the following week is Thanksgiving.
So I'm like, do we drop during holidays? Probably shouldn't,
so then that skips a week, and then Christmas would
skip a week and then fucking New Year's and I'm like, no,
the looking at the schedule, I want the emails done.
(03:33):
So if there's a bulk of these, we hope you
guys stick around and stay with us, because left Behind
is like the notes are are done, they're just waiting
for us to fucking talk about them. But dropping two
episodes a week sets up a precedent that completely overwhelmed me.
So yeah, that's why we're here.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
We're editing. We do zero editing on email shows. How
about that zero editing worts and all we leave it in?
Speaker 1 (04:00):
Yes, the only thing we know, the only thing we
do there we go, trust me, the only.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
Motherbucker.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
The only thing we do know edits for is our
pre and post show. And even that I will cut
it like if I'm hacking or something on the audio.
I'm like, I'm gonna cut that. Yeah, that was gross.
You got a little like throaty towards the end with liquid.
So wow, Yes, thank you guys for understanding. We just
need to And that kind of makes my brain feel better.
(04:34):
Like all the email's done and then it's just left
Behind straight into part two, newest email that we receive
right up front of those episodes. You know what I'm saying, Like,
we keep it into a flow. It's good.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
I shouldn't even a stream left Behind until twenty twenty five. Unbelievable.
You knock it off, unbelievable.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
A part of me is like, maybe I should unpublish
the left Behind episode.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
No, it's already out there. Unbelievable. Yeah, people are like,
what the happened?
Speaker 3 (05:07):
Where is that? So?
Speaker 1 (05:09):
Because I took the email on our episode two weeks ago,
would you like to take this first email?
Speaker 2 (05:15):
Sure? I can do that. It's a long one.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
It's not that long. It's long, but it's not that long.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
Yeah. Man, it's taking up the entirety of my twenty
seven inch monitor. So you know it's.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
Not because you're you're old and your font is huge.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
So that's not true. It's the standard. I do the
font exactly, no plus minus at all. This is just
what our notes is doing here. All right, here we
go from the Year of Our Lord, twenty twenty two.
This is July twenty seventh from Chris Iosec Chris P
(05:48):
Chris P. Bacon. All right, here we go, Jacket Andrew,
great show. I just want to linger on that for
a while. Okay, thank you, Chris.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
From July of twenty twenty two. We appreciate that.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
Your format is solidifying into a truly entertaining podcast. I
can hear the work you put into evolving it. It's
really good stuff. Points of note for me. I like
to talk about fathers and daughters and the need for affirmation.
That's a good thing for dads to hear, myself included.
I'm cognizant of it, and I try to do that
with my daughter. But you're right, Jack in that if
(06:22):
you aren't thinking about it, it can be missed, and
it's no one's fault, but it's still a missed opportunity.
So thanks for the reminder. You're welcome. There you go, Chris.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
I know I remember vaguely talking about Joel and Sarah.
I believe, but again it's been two almost two and.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
A half years. It might be about It might also
be about Ellie, like how she, you know, was looking
for some you know. Yeah, it could be yeah, in
those notes you find throughout Pittsburgh. It's neat hearing the
names of places because they are accurate. I've heard Liberty Avenue,
Troy Hill. There are others that I forget, but these
are real places in Pittsburgh and not necessarily well known
(07:05):
to outsiders. It seems like a Neil Druckman. I went
to Carnegie Mellon and I know the city kind of thing.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
So pretty neat.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
There you go, there you go. This is the third point.
I appreciate the strong opinions. The discourse about these games
is welcome, and when something doesn't make sense, For example,
Joel's utter forgetfulness about being careful with his identity, it's
certainly warranted.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
I can't. I couldn't imagine what you're referring to.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
Well, he's gonna give you the case in point shortly
to two comments. One, I love that because well, we
don't live in Pittsburgh. We've the majority of our lives
have predominantly been in Philadelphia. But we know, like when
we watch movies that involve Philadelphia, especially like going Back
to Rocky, which is one of the biggest ones that
everyone you know associates with the city because wow, you'd
(07:55):
damn well right.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
Betteris national treasure erasure.
Speaker 4 (08:00):
God anyway, like you, you and I always joke about
the fact that he runs from like the Italian Market
to the fucking Museum in like five seconds flat.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
There is an actual annual race called the Rocky Race,
and it's a fifty k yeah, because that's what he
fucking does in the movie. But nobody knows that unless
you're from the city. So it's just one of those
things where it's very appreciative when you're from a certain place,
especially a place of like significant cultural value. Yeah, that
(08:33):
it's recognized and represented appropriately. So I'm glad that that
happened with uh, Pittsburgh.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Yeah, Rocky can run to all those places, but not
in that order as what I'll say, No, that's Kensington
doesn't connect to the Museum. There's many things in between
those two places, that's all I'll say.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
Yeah, but it makes me wonder if people legitimately believe
that and I would say more people than not do.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Probably, I mean, they have no reference. You want to
take it at face value that you know, Oh yeah,
it's a Philadelphia city of neighborhoods like many cities, but
I think maybe Philadelphia maybe a little bit more so
strongly proud people of neighborhoods you know in that montage
(09:19):
do not connect. So yeah, they do not. They're not
even neighbors of neighbors. They're i know, like, for instance,
fifty k apart. You know, so well fifty k see,
I know, it's the whole thing. It's the whole, the whole,
it's the whole round trip. Yeah, but you end at
the art museum, you know, or the Rocky Steps is
(09:40):
they're lovingly referred to.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
Yeah, legitimately, I love it, even though he's off to
the side of those steps instead of Jed Center anymore.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
So.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
Number two, I'm glad you appreciate the strong opinions. Chris.
If you are still listening to this show, hello, because
they will be kicking up with a the Vengeance come
part two, and I know you're about to talk about that.
So yeah, I mean, I'm gonna call out the plot
lines or the plot holes rather where and when I
(10:10):
see fit if.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
There are any, But here we go, Chris continues, case
in point Part two is amazing on all fronts, both
narrative and technical. It's a masterpiece, but it's not without
its faults. Personally, I'm baffled by the farm that could
never happen. It's like they just decided to forget about
the roving bands of sadistic murderers and the hordes of
(10:34):
flesh heating infected Ellie and Dina and little Potato just
fall asleep with the windows open and pretend it's twenty
twelve or something. They have an eight foot fence with
barbed wire, so I guess the farm is impenetrable. It's ludicrous.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
Yes, obviously, I disagree with the fact that it's amazing
on all fronts. I think from a narrative point of view,
it failed greatly. Technically it's perfect, but the farm. I
never By the time we got to the farm in
part two, I was just so done with the fucking
game that I wasn't thinking that critically. But now that
(11:12):
I'm reading this email again or you're reading it to me,
I agree. I feel like I had that one moment
playing it like, is that it like just just an
eight inch an eight foot fence, an eight inch an
eight foot fence and windows. Yeah, like this is Yeah,
it's too idyllic for a world that is no longer idyllic. Unfortunately, Sure, sure, sure, sure,
(11:38):
for sure.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
All right, here's Chris continues zo point four here. Oh geez,
I know we're not quite there yet, but Henry and Sam, Well,
it's so tragic. Just thinking about Henry in those thirty
seconds between having a hopeful morning and suicide chokes me up. Yeah,
(11:59):
of all this following up on that, of all the
stuff that gives Ellie PTSD in sleepless nights, this horrible
scene must be high up on the list. The emotional
toll next time will be about a forty out of ten. See, Chris,
I could see that you're also a person that doesn't
respect the rules just how math works, you know, it's
just it's.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
A matter of opinion fractions. Yeah, that was awful, and
I think for a long time that probably was the
highest thing on Ellie's list of PTS things. But if
you go back to just what happened with Riley, which
took place before all of this, I mean, presumably she
(12:43):
had to kill her best friend, So you know, is
that worse than Henry and Sam? I don't know. We
will discuss that on our Left Behind shows when we
eventually resume them next week.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
First thing and the fifth point from Chris, I can't
help you doing this chapter through the lens of Joel's
history from the fan fiction titled Dirt.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
I guess we've talked about this many times.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
Yeah, I'm sure.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
I'm sure we talked about two weeks ago.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
Yeah, I'm sure we did.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
His past as a Hunter was well written and as
good a look into his past as I think we're
going to get. It didn't make him look evil, but
it definitely made him seem like a piece of shit
for a time. Tommy pulled him out of it, though
it fits really well into the story. In my opinion,
Joel certainly ain't no boy scout. Thanks again, keep up
(13:38):
the good work, Chris. PS. FYI heard my deleted account
on Twitter. Geez the politics on there. I joined for
the comic book and Star Wars stuff, and I get
pulled into these quote unquote conversations that only infuriate me.
It's the opposite of what I wanted but I can't
(13:58):
not comment on the insanity. That's my failing. But still
I needed a.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
Break, yeah, I mean jumping right to the end. We
all broke up with Twitter, so it's all good. Two
and a half years in the future, you know, Elon
came along and fucking ruined everything. But going back, so yes,
the dirt fan fiction. I will one day read it.
You know, It's just one of those things I don't
like being repeatedly told to do, watch or read something
(14:27):
because then I'm like, well, now I'm just going to
take my damn time. I don't know where that comes from.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
Friends, you know, here I am sitting and screaming, kicking
and screaming, that's what he calls it. She hasn't watched
The Godfather.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
Too many people have told me to see it.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
Too many people have told you it's an amazing film,
potentially the greatest, one of the greatest of our generation.
And you're like, well, here's the problem. Too many people
told me that it was good, and.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
Now here's what happens. This has happened every fucking time.
There has not been a single time where I've wont oh, no,
I'm lying. One time one time that I can think
of within the last five years, something was recommended to
me and I fucking obsessively loved on it, and that
was Barb.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
Reckon.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
Oh my god, that was Barb recommending me The Greatest
Showman with Hugh Jackman and Michelle Williams and all that
one you'll get perfect, perfect recommendation. And at first I
was like, you know, oh, it came out right around
Star Wars The Last Jedi, and the Last Jedi didn't
do as well it should have done because The Greatest
Showman got a billion dollars and I was just all
(15:45):
a blowhard about that, and then I was like, fuck this.
I'm watching it because I love Hugh Jackman and I
now we watch it every Christmas morning. It's like our thing,
so I understand. But like the most recent thing that
we watched that two of my best friends in the world,
we're old love like Love the Row was Trick or
(16:05):
Treat the movie with fucking Little Sam, like Sam is
a sack or whatever. I don't know that. You and
I sat next to each other on Halloween night and
we pause the movie at one point looked at each other, people,
I need to set up this scene. We're sitting on
our couch lovely. Our daughter is out trick or treating
with her friends, having the fucking time of her life.
It's like eight thirty eight forty five. We just had
(16:27):
some some wonderful Mexican food for dinner and we're just
you know, having a date night. And did we have
a bananas that night?
Speaker 2 (16:37):
Yeah? We did.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
And then pause the fucking movie with twenty five minutes left,
and both of us connected eyeballs and we were like,
should we finish this? It was so fucking bad. I
was getting mad. I was like this, I don't understand.
Like five different fucking stories happened in a matter of
(16:59):
ninety minutes, none of them. It was like, there was
a movie that came before this movie that you and
I never saw. It is what it felt like. It
was so fun, so bad. Before that Requiem for a Dream,
somebody was like, oh my god, it's so hard hitting
and impactful and emotional, and you need to see this.
It's groundbreaking, it's life changing, blah blah. I was fucking
(17:21):
I was like, don't you ever fucking tell me to
watch a movie like that again. I hated every second
of it.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
That's just Darren Aronofski Films.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
Baby, yeah, I I so this. I've seen TV shows
where I'm like, this is boring, but everyone loves them.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
You gotta watch Bosh. Wow, I've never seen Bosh. I've
never Oh my god, that's one that people just say like,
Bosh is amazing, and I'm like, it literally can't be.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
I'm sorry if you like, I'm sure it is.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
It's just not for me. It's just not for me.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
But like Yellowstone, I know I will fucking love Yellowstone.
I feel that well, But okay, you and I a
couple of years ago, we started watching The Departed. That
Departed and I hated it. I was like, we are
like an hour and ten minutes into this, and I
looked at you and I was like, is this how
the rest of the fucking movie is? And you laughed
(18:19):
and you were like yeah, and I was.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
Like, fairness, I didn't for The Departed. I didn't know
if you would. I didn't go in saying like this movie,
this is a great movie. I was just like, we
could watch The Departed.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
Oh no, no, no, no, you and it's Martin's yeah,
that's great and all, but like it just was not
for me. So I get weary with people recommending the
same thing to me over and over and over again.
I'm like, oh God, it's built up too big in
my head, so please do not take it personally. It's
a me thing. I'm the problem. It's me. Hi, I'm
(18:54):
the problem. It's me. Thank you, Taylor Swift.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
But like it hasn't played the God of War twenty eighteen.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
Or Horizon Forbidden West.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
Horizon Forbidden West, the craziest thing, the craziest she olds.
Speaker 3 (19:10):
Them, I do.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
I think the only Okay, there are several people who
have who have good recommendations for me every once in
a while. So I'm not gonna sit there and be like, oh,
there's only one person. You normally are the best judge
when it comes for stuff for me, And there are
things yet I know there. And there are things.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
God of War goes unplayed that you.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
Will watch and you'll just be like, oh no, no,
you wouldn't like that. Just put it, put it out
of your mind.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
Yeah, So I don't know, I know what her instant knows.
You know. That's that's it, that's it. That's an that's
an easy list, you know. Yeah, And then the yes
is sometimes it's like I think you should try this,
even if you know, even if you don't dig all
of it, it's still pretty good, you know.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
Yeah, Like, I'm sure i'll love the Bear. I'm sure
I will love.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
I'm sure you would.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
What's what's the show that?
Speaker 2 (20:13):
Everyone?
Speaker 3 (20:13):
What is the show?
Speaker 2 (20:14):
You know?
Speaker 4 (20:15):
It?
Speaker 1 (20:15):
Didn't it just end? It's like five seasons you Mike
Crystall talked about it. Not outer Banks, Outer Banks. That's
a new Netflix thing one who gives a fuck? But
or maybe I don't know if it's new, I don't care.
But oh, it's like a popular show with Jason Bateman.
I think Ozark Ozark. I knew there was an o
(20:38):
in there, like I haven't seen that.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
Knew there was potentially some kind of a bank, and
it started with an oh it is it's the bank
of the Ozark. The Ozarks, the Lake of the Ozarks
have banks. Yes, Ozark. Quite good, quod And.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
I'm sure I will love that. I still have to
watch several seasons of Fargo, but I just you know,
I go at my own pace, and sometimes that's glacial.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
I understand.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
No, you don't even watch that, you don't even watch that,
knock it off? So all right, Anyway, I'm sorry this
just spiral because of the dirt recommendation, because we literally
talked about it on the other email show two weeks
ago and Mary recommended it.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
We're doing it.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
Yeah, well one day, one day.
Speaker 2 (21:24):
You report back. I need that report on my desk
by Tuesday morning.
Speaker 1 (21:27):
All right, So we're gonna jump to the next email
from Chris piasec Piasechi Chrispy again from August fifth, twenty
twenty two. Hello, Awayfair and Strangers. There's a little convenience
store by us that used to be a stop and
go back in the eighties. From about fourth grade through
middle school, my friends and I would walk or ride
(21:48):
our bikes to Stop and Go to buy comic books
and play their one arcade game, and of course to
buy candy. The spinner rack was always stuffed with these
latest comic books, Amazing Spider Man, grew the Wanderer, Conan,
Justice League, Gi Joe, the Avengers, you name it, and
new comics came in weekly. Gone are the days of
(22:09):
the Spinner Rack. They used to be in every store
and I miss them immensely. Stop and Go had one
video game. In quotations and parentheses limit three kids at
a time, and they would change it out about every
two months or so. My friends and I would beg
our parents recorders or steal them from our older siblings's
dressers and blow them on. Shinobi, Goony's Two, Dig Doug, Superman,
(22:33):
and Karate Champ.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
All quarter eaters. Every single one of those games absolute
quarter eaters.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
Sure did you play any of them?
Speaker 2 (22:43):
Yeah? I played most of them.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
I don't think I've ever heard of Karate Champ.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
Then you haven't lived.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
Well, then I haven't lived.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
What do I know?
Speaker 1 (22:54):
At one point they had Spy Hunter, the car game
with the with the Peter gunn sound.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
Oh my gosh, Spy Hunter.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
We played the hell out of that game. Stop and
Go was a regular destination and it was freaking awesome.
It was close to us and it had all of
our essentials. My mom would even send me in there
to buy her cigarettes cool one hundreds.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
Wow, my mom sted the same cigarettes? Did we live
the same life? Chris?
Speaker 1 (23:23):
Philadelphia and Pittsburgh ain't that far apart.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
It's so weird and yet so far apart.
Speaker 1 (23:28):
But in nineteen eighty four, eleven year old kids could
just go and buy cigarettes without any hassole, which is
fucking crazy.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
My mom used to send me to the corner store
with five bugs, get me a pack of cools. Okay,
I'm six years old.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
I'm pretty sure my mom and dad would send my
sister and I down to Joe's on the corner market
and we would buy Camels or Marlboro.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
Okay, yeah, I mean, hey, you know, what are you
gonna do?
Speaker 1 (23:57):
It was Marvel for a while, and then they were like,
all right, let's which to Camel's light because that's a
little bit better.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
I mean, I guess yeah.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
And then I think I got to be like maybe
twelve or thirteen, and I was like, I'm not doing
this for you anymore. I'm not enabling this. And they
got all mad at me and they were like, you know,
we work all day. Can you just walk down the
street and buy our cigarettes? And I was like no,
because this shit's bad for you.
Speaker 2 (24:18):
So now now I will take the moral high grounds.
Speaker 1 (24:22):
Yeah, I was like, I'm gonna go and buy a
giant pickle out of that big ass pickle barrel which
everybody reaches their nasty ass hands in, and that's still
helps somehow fucking safer than yell cigarettes. Yes, Oh long,
live Joe's anyway. Eventually, Stopping Go became co gos Co Goes.
(24:43):
The spinner rack vanished, and so did the arcade games.
But by then my friends and I had graduated to
cars and we didn't need arcade games because we had consoles,
but we still bought comics. I bring this all up
because Cogs recently changed owners and their name. My son
pointed this out while having passed it, and it made
me laugh. It's now wait for it, everyone, Are you ready.
Speaker 2 (25:05):
Andrew, I'm clenched. Here we go. It's now food Mart.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
That sucks so bad, Crystal sorry, he was like, Dad,
can you think of a more generic PlayStation two store
name than food Mart?
Speaker 2 (25:22):
Food Mark?
Speaker 1 (25:24):
Well, it's kind of a perfect video gamesh shit name.
That's regards Chris Biseki.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
Look, here's the thing I tell I tell everybody this. Now,
you know, naming stuff is hard and people will just
slave over. They'll get this, like, all right, I have
my business plan done, I have my financial documents in order.
I have a complete return on investment. I have a plan.
(25:51):
I have a ten year plan for my business. I
don't know what to call it, though, I have no idea.
What you call it. Meanwhile, this guy over here named
joh puts up fences and what's the name of his business,
Joe's Fences Done. And he just has that spray painted
on the side of his van. Is like, do you
need a fence from a guy named Joe? Go to
(26:13):
Joe's Fences dot com. Actually it's probably like Joe's Fencescolm
dot com. That's like his domain name, com dot com
and uh, that's it. Don't worry about what you name stuff.
Here's another great example. What the guys at the boardroom
who bought it changed hands. They're like, what do we
do primarily? And the guy's like, well, we're a.
Speaker 1 (26:34):
Mart and we sell food.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
We sell different kinds of food. And the guys like
food Mart, let's ship.
Speaker 1 (26:41):
It done done And unless this keeping it simple sometimes
is good.
Speaker 2 (26:48):
Was this named by an NPC? Probably probably, but god
damn it, that's funny.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
But stop and go, I like cog.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
It's funny out around us. Is that I'm trying to
think of where I see them, but I've seen them
multiple times now where maybe it's down in Virginia. They
have a place called Come and Go.
Speaker 1 (27:10):
Oh, I've seen that. I left.
Speaker 2 (27:13):
I'm sorry spelled. I think the K I think it's
k U M, which is un good. See there, that's
where it's swung in the opposite direction where they should
have just probably called that like food Mark two or so,
you know, saying.
Speaker 1 (27:32):
Sure, oh it just yeah. It makes me sad thinking
about the old stores that we're right around the corner
from our house because we lived you know, very inner city,
tight neighborhoods, YadA, YadA, YadA. And now if you and
I have to go anywhere except for like CVS, and
CVS is still a mile walk from our door, sure,
which is fine and pleasant, but beyond that, it's like
(27:56):
we got to get in the car and whatever. I'm
not you know, bitch.
Speaker 2 (28:01):
Philadelphia still has those stores you know that, don't the
corner stores that are owned there's like some guy turned
his row home into uh you know yeah still yeah. Yeah.
So the infrastructure it's not as walkable here as it is,
you know. You know that's the thing.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
You would get fucking hit by a car or doer
depending food mart.
Speaker 2 (28:27):
I want to go to food Mart. No, you don't.
I'd go to food Mart. Here's the Here's the funny
thing is like some of those places have like legit.
They are like every kind of corner store, at least
in the Philadelphia area. Like if you get down in
South Philly and you find one of these, like you know,
in South Philadelphia, more likely than not you're going to
(28:49):
get like it's going to be like it's Paisanos or
something like that. You know what I'm saying. Then, So
but you go in there and it's like, oh, Paisanos,
let me, I'll tell you yest roast beef sandwich I've
had in my life. It's like, oh, they always have
one banger thing in those stores. So maybe food Mart
(29:09):
does too.
Speaker 1 (29:10):
Maybe maybe I've been I well and talking about like
you know, gas station, food marts, stop and go, come
and go, whatever kind of whatever y'all into. But I'm
a big like YouTube channel subscriber person. I love listening
and watching certain channels when I'm like walking on the
treadmill or working on a project or whatever. It's just
(29:33):
it's like mind numbing content sometimes and sometimes it's true
crime whatever. But my most recent obsession and now I
have followed her for years, but I never really dove
into her content on YouTube. But her her channel name
is Christine snaps and I Christine, if you somehow ever
hear this, I love you. I'n be friends because you're
(29:55):
just fucking amazing and funny and such a delight. But
it is like ADHD, a constant stream of ADHD. She sings,
she talks a mile a minute, she opens up mail,
she tries, she goes to gas stations to people watch,
She goes to gas stations to try like their new
foods and things like this, Like it's just one of
(30:17):
those things. So it made me laugh thinking of her, like,
oh well, this used to be the stop and go
and then it was the co goes and now it's
food Mart. So let's see what new shit they have,
and we're gonna try this as I sit in my car,
and like the one time she got fucking food poisoning,
and it's not funny to get food poisoning. It's terrible.
But the way that she edited the video, she was
(30:38):
just like, I'm gonna put a filter when I am
eating certain things, just to be like, look at the regret,
look at the regret on her face. So yeah, I'm
my brain. I don't know. Just one went to her
channel and two I'm like, how fun would it be
to visit some of these places from our childhood that
just have been gone, probably for twenty years. And by fun,
(30:59):
I mean said got dark dark anyway, Christine snaps, I
love you.
Speaker 2 (31:08):
It would be good to go visit these places from
our childhood that are probably gone. Surprise, I'm sorry.
Speaker 1 (31:20):
How about you bring the mood back up. We'll read
one more email from Chris.
Speaker 2 (31:24):
Okay, we can just we could call this the Sepiaseki
Show and just go through all of his emails. We
got time, all right, Here we go. August nineteenth, twenty
twenty two.
Speaker 1 (31:36):
Oh day, Wait, it's August fifth.
Speaker 2 (31:39):
Wait a minute, sorry I scrolled too far. Wait a minute. No,
oh no, you're right.
Speaker 1 (31:43):
I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm I'm sorry. As you're talking,
I'm like formatting the document for our future show, just
to make our life easier, so I deleted previous emails.
Speaker 2 (31:54):
Stop it.
Speaker 1 (31:55):
No, sorry, okay.
Speaker 2 (31:58):
Chris rights on August twenty twenty two. Hi, Jack and Andrew.
I'm halfway through episode eighteen. I had a sixty foot yacht.
And the discussion on the podcast just turned to Joel's
burgeoning attitude towards accepting others. Other road companions or people
that you could possibly get closer to and maybe befriend.
(32:18):
I like that you guys are feeling the vibes as
they come and not jumping ahead to what eventually happens,
because both of those situations have horrific outcomes. The world
building story of Ish is terrible, albeit amazingly well crafted,
and the story of Sam and Henry is arguably even worse.
(32:39):
It seems to me that both of these tales are
examples of just what Bill had talked about, get close
to people in this world and you'll regret it. At
this point in the game, everything is geared towards putting
the beat down on Joel's psyche and making him second
guess his relationship with Ellie. The physical part of cross
country journey for Joel and Ellie is compared to the
(33:01):
mental barrage they have to go through. In my opinion,
peace out.
Speaker 1 (33:06):
Chris, Yeah, I completely agree. And just as a reminder,
Ish is the storyline that was told through artifacts in
the Sewer chapter.
Speaker 2 (33:15):
Yeah, that was a great I mean I was kind
of hoping that we would get some of that in
the show.
Speaker 1 (33:23):
Yeah, and we got a little bit, did we not?
I think there was a very mind like minuscule reference.
But again, we've only watched the show fully twice wow,
once when we were watch on Sunday nights, and then
I watched it to break it down and do the
notes for the podcast, and I don't really consider that
(33:43):
a watch through. So I'm gonna say I've only seen
it once.
Speaker 2 (33:45):
Yeah, So I feel like they had at least I
feel like it was mentioned. I could be misremembering that.
But in the game the that's like an incredible environmental
storytelling moment, and it's one of those things where it's
like there are people who I don't mean potentially maybe
(34:08):
who were like, I don't know, what do you mean?
Speaker 3 (34:10):
Ish?
Speaker 2 (34:11):
You know?
Speaker 1 (34:12):
Yeah, And that goes back to what we talked about
with left Behind in the story note the artifact with
the soldiers, and it's like these stories are very missible, yeah,
unless you make a point to do that, and we
really hope that people do because it just enrichest things tenfold.
So oh, that was sad. I forgot about Ish for
a hot second while we were reading this, but talking
(34:36):
about Joel specifically here and wants to come inevitably in
part two. I'm not going to talk too much about that,
but in this moment him struggling with basically how to
toe the line on Okay, this is how I've lived
my life for twenty years, with checks and balances here
(34:57):
and there and losing people and not necessarily gaining trust
of others, but certainly trust enough, like with his relationship
with Tess, that they are reliable to one another, and
that is a that is certainly a level of trust.
But yeah, I think going through the Sewer was absolutely
(35:18):
like the writing is literally on the walls, Joel, if
you continue on this journey, something inevitably is going to
happen to you, So be careful, like do you want
to let this person in because you know what can happen.
Oh gosh. That was one of my favorite parts to
talk about in the in part one was the Sewer chapter.
(35:39):
So I'm glad that we got to this email to
just kind of talk about that and relive it a
little bit.
Speaker 2 (35:45):
Yeah, it builds the This is the thing that really
the first game does pretty beautifully. It's a magic trick
until you it's it's basically transparent until you either revisit
the game or re litigate it through something like our
podcast or whatever where. Sure, they are simultaneously telling the
(36:09):
story of these two people while also building an incredible
case against why it's a bad idea, right, And those
two things are happening at the exact same time. They
are in conversation, and they are also intention and that's amazing. Like,
kudos to this team for what they were able to
(36:33):
accomplish here.
Speaker 1 (36:35):
Yeah, I agree, a cautionary tale.
Speaker 2 (36:38):
It's harder to do how I don't know. I'm going
to back away from what I was just gonna say.
I would say it might be easier to do in
a game versus a movie because of the interactive nature
of it. Like, again, it's there if you find it
(37:02):
and want to experience it here in the game. Sure,
but it is not even if you completely missed issues story,
you're still well aware of Sam and Henry, and so
there's your There's just less evidence if you play it
a little bit more straightforward and you're not looking for
all the collectibles, which is kind of an interesting thing
(37:23):
to think about. The show did a really good job
with Sam and Henry too, I think.
Speaker 1 (37:28):
Yeah, I do agree.
Speaker 2 (37:30):
Those characters were given a little bit more to do.
We had not more time with them but like the
quality of time I think was better. There was a
much more the relationship because of the things that the
show changed about the characters, which I won't spoil. I
(37:52):
don't want to assume that you've watched it, or maybe
you didn't, whatever, but made them need each other more
and I thought that was really really lovely. So yeah,
this was agreed. This was one of the highlights of
the game. Like this, I agree with you that this
section the sewers from the town, from the Salm, and
I'll just say this at overarching the Salm and Henry
(38:16):
section of the game was great.
Speaker 1 (38:17):
Absolutely, yeah. I mean, we could talk about it again
like we did back when we covered the episode, which
apparently that was episode eighteen I believe Chris wrote, So,
you know, maybe we just got to re listen to that, and.
Speaker 2 (38:32):
We're on episode nine thousand.
Speaker 1 (38:35):
Now technically the next Left Cool, the next Left Behind
episode will be thirty two, so not quite double but
that far but close. Yeah, all right, let's do another one.
This is from Chris p September eighth, twenty twenty two. Hello,
(38:56):
am my fellow podcasters. I am watching walkthroughs of the
hype detailed world of the Last of US PS five remake.
It's a feast for the eyes. And just as a reminder,
the remake for the Last of Us Part one came
out on September second, twenty twenty two, and I remember
that because one it was like one of the best
days of my life, and two I got a tattoo.
I got a Last of Us tattoo that day, So
(39:17):
just a wonderful day.
Speaker 2 (39:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (39:19):
So this was yeah, but it very much still is
a feast for the eyes. FYI do not have a
PS five so YouTube. That is where Chris watched the
playthroughs as a designer. I am blown away by the
brilliance of the textures and surfaces and everything else in
this new game. Decay and Ruin has never looked so good.
(39:42):
I agree, but now more than ever, an old vexation
rears its ugly head and it's more applicable. Considering the
conversation around kerth Money's comment about quote suspending your disbelief
with the vaccine for fungal infections, Joel and Joel Tests
and Ellie Bear hug these clickers and stick knives in
(40:02):
their throats and punch them and smash their heads in
with pipes spraying infected blood and fluids everywhere, and this
stuff is all over our heroes's clothes, and there are
no washing machines to speak of, and showers are far
and few between, and they have got to have cuts
and lacerations all over them from this world and its
(40:22):
hardness and chaos. If we're talking about scenarios where you
have to suspend your disbelief, the fact that Joel isn't
infected already from being covered in clicker bud is blood, Bud,
his clicker buddy, sorry, already being covered in clicker blood
is a friggin' miracle. It would have happened like four
(40:44):
thousand times by now. Not to mention Abby regularly bare
fisted punches clickers in the mouth instant infection. Lady, thanks
keep up the excellent work. My friend's peace out Chris,
so uh completely agree. I mean you and I have
talked about this. Are you clearing?
Speaker 2 (41:01):
I have the floor? May I have the floor? I
think this is now more than ever m video game
ass shit.
Speaker 1 (41:08):
Yes yep. But here's the thing, and I think this
is specific to me because I am strong opinion, strongly held.
I nitpick a lot of shit and then I will
give a pass to other stuff. So anyone listening at home,
if you're like Jack, well you did trust me. I
very trust.
Speaker 2 (41:29):
Me, trust me, trust me.
Speaker 1 (41:33):
I very much am aware of the hypocrite that I
certainly can be on this show. And you know what,
I don't care. It's my show.
Speaker 2 (41:42):
I don't care. I don't it's my show. I'm taking
my ball and I'm going exactly.
Speaker 1 (41:49):
I'm gonna kick a little sand, kick a little rock,
and then turn around and put my nose in the
air and walk away. But I completely agree. We've talked
about this. I think we we we really dove into
it in the TV show because that's where video game
ass shit really can't cross the barrier.
Speaker 2 (42:09):
For me, and then it becomes movie ass shit. Yes,
and that's a different kind of as it is.
Speaker 1 (42:14):
It is because it's less there's less forgiveness there. There's
still some forgiveness, okay, because it is the movies, it
is the TV shows, whatever, but it's still not as
video game ass shit. So okay, to sum it up
one hundred percent, we could talk about this for an hour.
It's video game ass shit. Pikachuo's the battles.
Speaker 2 (42:35):
I'm gonna I'll push back gently here, Okay, Okay, now
I'm going to apply the rules of zombies to the
last of us. Okay, now there aren't now, as we know,
the zombie genre contains multitudes. Okay. Yeah, However, some things
(42:57):
are just true, right ZOMBI you gotta shoot him in
the head, right, yeah, Okay, great, we understand that zombies,
if they bleed on you, that doesn't do anything to you.
In some zombie lore.
Speaker 1 (43:12):
Okay, I would say most zombie Laura, I never really
heard about blood affecting people.
Speaker 2 (43:17):
I'll name one in a moment. Okay. The zombie lore
is you need to be bitten. That's it, Like, that's
if it and that is that is it. Now. Some
zombie things are like, well I got bit, but if
I cut the arm off before xyz then yeah. But
(43:39):
some other zombie things are like a bite is a bite,
You're done right twenty eight days later, which you could
argue are not zombies. There's something different, and I would
hear your argument about that. But let's you know, for
the sake of blumping these together, there's zombies. That was
a movie where it's transmissible through blood. So it was
(44:02):
transmissible through blood and animals. So there was a scene,
not to get too graphic, where crows are feasting and
then a crows flying above. This murder of crows is
flying above is very symbolic scene. And just the tiniest
little drop of blood falls from a flying crow's beak
and hits a character right in the eye and that
(44:24):
character is toast in pretty short order.
Speaker 1 (44:30):
Would piss me off.
Speaker 2 (44:34):
Imagine, you know, if you're if your zombie infection could
have been prevented by something as silly as an umbrella hat.
You know, we're just looking down right right, or just
not looking up at the crows in the sky.
Speaker 1 (44:47):
Yeah, just look down.
Speaker 2 (44:49):
That's why it was. You know, it's that goes to
show some zombie lore. A scratch will get you. Most
zombie lare not true. So it's like, whether we're talking
about the game or the show, I'm just here to say, like,
the rules are not hard and firm. Yeah, you know,
(45:11):
like we know what definitely turns you, and that's all
I can glom onto. I'm not going to hit them
with the technicality, be like whirre fuck you see how
fungus work. You know, I'm not gonna.
Speaker 1 (45:28):
Yeah, I do remember vaguely that because Chris talked about
Kerth Money, who was somebody who wrote several many emails
to the show back in the day, and I remember
he and I did not agree. So there was some
ping pong emails back and forth, and we would read
them and then I would get a reply and so
on and so forth, and that's all well and good.
(45:50):
You know, your lure and belief system is what it
is as is mind. But I do remember kind of
going on a tangent about the suspension of disbelief and
how some things just have to be what they are
in the established universe that has been presented to us.
Speaker 2 (46:08):
Yeah, which is again fiction anyway. Again, Yeah, I don't
need everything explaining to me. Yes, I prefer it not
to be so we know, if you know, it would
be more ham fisted and arguably worse if a character
is like, well, I found, you know, if Joel finds
I found this list of all the ways you can
get infected. Here, let's go down. There's seven of them.
Speaker 1 (46:33):
Yeah, it's too much.
Speaker 2 (46:33):
Getting bit, you know, hitting a clicker in the head
too quick, you know, closely, and the blood spray or
you know, I don't.
Speaker 1 (46:42):
Although I do I do agree with what Chris said
about Abby. If you are full on punching a clicker
or an infected in the mouth, that that's I consider
that a bite. Because if you and I right now
just went outside and got into a fight with other people,
not ourselves, and I, you know, punched a woman in
the face, and you punched a dude in the face
(47:03):
if his, I will happily punch a fucking dude in
the face.
Speaker 2 (47:08):
And that's not to say I want to punch a
woman in the face.
Speaker 1 (47:12):
Due yeah, now I have. I got into a fight
with a teenage boy when I was a teenager. I
whooped his anyway. But if a tooth breaks your skin,
on your hand, on your arm, anywhere, you are going
to get infected. Just FYI, if this ever happens to
anybody listening, p s a from someone who's not in
the medical field but knows enough. If if a tooth
(47:34):
breaks your skin, go to the er because you need
to be on antibiotics immediately or you're gonna fucking get
an infection which could lead to sepsis, which could lead
to your death. I'm not fucking lying, babes, not that
kind of infection that's that's.
Speaker 2 (47:47):
Whole other bolster.
Speaker 1 (47:48):
But I agree with Abby being a fucking Abby, being
a fucking asshole and thinking that she's this, you know,
just I don't know, American Ninja warrior princess and punching
these infected in the mouth. She would die very quickly,
very very quickly, by the rules established in the Last
of Us Universe. But swinging pipes, wrenches, macheti shotguns, getting
(48:14):
blood splattered, that doesn't align with the rules. It's a bite.
Speaker 2 (48:19):
Yeah, that's I mean, that's what it has to be,
you know.
Speaker 1 (48:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (48:23):
Just to adjust one other thing, Chris, I mean, if
you're listening, or if not, or if you're just a
person listening here, let me tell you about this thing
called TLU on PS five pro.
Speaker 1 (48:34):
Here he goes here, he goes flex, saying, look, I
got it now, I know, I know. I'm happy for you,
and I love it. And I think you've inspired people
who listen to our show to potentially buy PS five
pros for themselves.
Speaker 2 (48:46):
So I've been told you I am. I have been
told that I'm very good at spending other people's money. Yes,
shout out to my buddy Mike, who tells me that
very regularly, who is also going to purchase the PS
five Pro. Coincidentally, I booted this game up. I'm going
to get the platinum for the last So when I
(49:08):
did the stream for Left Behind, that was basically just
two or three days before the PS five Pro arrived,
and it was among the first games that I tried,
so I had a very fresh comparison to base my
very scientific findings off of. You see, and good lord,
(49:31):
the amount of additional detail that is present is remarkable.
So and just as a fun fact, the if I do,
I mean, I have every intention of getting the platinum
because I only have like four or five trophies left.
Then they're all left Behind related. Sure, it'll be my
sixty ninth platinum trophy.
Speaker 1 (49:51):
Nice, nice night.
Speaker 2 (49:53):
It's a nice trophy to get and then I'm done
getting trophies for the rest of my life.
Speaker 1 (49:58):
Lies.
Speaker 2 (50:00):
Yeah, that is a lie.
Speaker 1 (50:01):
Yeah, big big older eye. Yeah, I'm excited for you
to do the arcade game where you have to uh
I'm not gonna say we have to do to get
that trophy, but that was probably the hardest one for
me and left mind, so enjoy, Okay, all right, fair enough,
it'll probably be the easiest fucking one for you because
you're a gamer.
Speaker 2 (50:18):
But I don't even know what you gotta do, so
I might have to look it up to uh I might,
I mean look up the details of the trophy, you know,
like if it's hidden, then I don't know what I
don't know.
Speaker 1 (50:27):
Oh no, no, no, Remember when Ellie and Riley share
that moment and she's like just pretend, yeah, that you're playing.
You have to do like a series of moves. There's
like I think several trophies for that. It's like, do
a series of moves without taking one hit in under
x amount of seconds and then the trophy will pomp.
Speaker 2 (50:47):
Yeah boy oh boy.
Speaker 1 (50:49):
So all right, like I said, half.
Speaker 2 (50:50):
On, good good luck, half fun, good luck, we live anyway.
Speaker 1 (50:56):
So yeah, we're gonna stop the show at.
Speaker 2 (50:59):
That because yeah, look at us.
Speaker 1 (51:04):
Yeah I'm a god. It's so much fun. But social
media and contact detail so Twitter, Telu podcast. But now
we're actually on Blue Sky, which is a thing. Yes,

As I've been talking about the Ichik series and things
like that, I'm compiling the information slowly. We have a
lot of podcasts, if you know, you know so. HBO's

the emails that we received on that show as well,
along with the quote breaking news of announcements that we
will just compile together over the last few weeks. Our
next episode will be another email episode. Oh God, I

the time, took the hours, took the mental energy. We
don't want this to go to waste. That's not fair.

these email shows are done. And I and we made

Speaker 2 (53:20):

hours and I think fifty three minutes of content, So

all I'm comfortable saying at the moment.
Speaker 1 (54:47):
Okay, enough.
Speaker 2 (54:50):
We may or may not be using the stars for navigation.
I haven't decided yet.
Speaker 1 (54:54):
Oh all right, are we on the water? Who knows
you could use.
Speaker 2 (54:57):
The stars on land? I know, but it does certainly
is a more nautical approach to navigation. I understand, but
let's help.
Speaker 1 (55:05):
