• 0:27
  Speaker 2: hour time relaxation time, please do so responsibly. Samantha, are
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: you slipping on anything?
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: I'm keeping with a bubble of water. All right, I
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: have had a lot of coffee, but yet my eyes
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: are still sleepy.
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: Happens. It happens sometimes.
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: Well, I am drinking red wine, and I'm gonna be
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: honest with you, this is actually interesting that this happens.
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: But I was telling Samantha I had a panic attack
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: this morning, and we are going to very briefly be
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: talking about the Last of Us. But I talked about
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: how when the first season came out, I was having
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: a lot of issues with like panic and anxiety.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: So I don't know if it's related.
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: But here's another data point, and the next data point
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: will be two years from now, I guess for season three.
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: Wait, yeah, is that confirmed that's gonna be two years
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: from now or are you just assuming?
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: I'm just assuming because it took two years between one
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: and two and I think three is going to be
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: longer than one.
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: So.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: Well, we'll see whatever.
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: But we're not really doing any spoilers or anything about it.
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: But I thought it would be fun to do a
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: mirror of the episode I did on excitement or of
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: anticipating something, because we had that happy hour I was
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: talking about, like, you know, the moment before I almost
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: loved more than the whole thing is because it can
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: be anything I wanted to be and it's so exciting
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: for me. And so today we're kind of talking about
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: the like after, and I just want to say, I
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: feel fun. It's okay, but it is kind of a
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: it's kind of a like coming down because I've been
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: so excited and I've every week I'm trying to think
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: of like what will they do and how will they
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: do this?
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: And what will it look like?
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: And you know, and hanging out with you and our
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: friends and talking about it and getting yeah, it's so fun.
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: It was something to look forward to and I just
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: love sharing stuff like that with people.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: And even like people I don't see who were texting me.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: It was just a.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: Really it gives me me like a jazz almost, like
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: it makes me so yeah, and I just like talking
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: about it. And so then you get to the end
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: and it's over, and especially if people haven't played the game,
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: and you're like, oh no, I can't talk about what's
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: to come.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: And I know you're mad, but I need you to
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: like bear with me here. But it is. I get.
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: I've always been like this, this is not a new thing.
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: It's just not a last of us specific thing.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: Even when I was a kid, like the day after
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: a thing, I would just be in a funk. I'm like, oh,
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: well that's over. What do I do now?
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, And especially because if if it does take two years,
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: how old am I going to be when this ends?
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: And I need people to know how it ends so
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: I could just talk about it. My heart's content. Oh yeah, yeah,
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: but I I've a lot of friends have contacted me
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: and said they feel the same way. Don't Downtrodden is
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: a word I've gotten a lot great word? Yeah, yeah,
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: and it is. It's kind of I have this. I'm
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: very excited to. I want to do a whole watch through,
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: and now that it's all out, maybe I'll play the
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: game again. Like there's things I'm excited about right and
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: there's no absence of that and my friends either who've
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: communicated that to me, but it's just sort of you know, well,
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: then it's done. All that anticipation, all that excitement I
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: was feeling before, now it's gone.
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna say with this specific series, it was so short.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: Mm hmmm.
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: It was so short, and then I had, like we
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: I went away for one week, so making like a
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: thing that was usually you would think would be more
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: all of a sudden it was over, and it feels
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: even more like shocking.
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's a shocking ending. But I used to
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: be this way about. You know, when you play a
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: game yep, well not all games, but games like The
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: Last of Us, games that are kind of RPGs are longer.
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: You put a lot of time and emotions sometimes into
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: that game, and no matter like how much you love it,
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: you get to the end and it's over, and then
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: you watch the credits and I get so sad and
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: because I just put in all that time and it's over,
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: and so the Last of Us too, I'll just like
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: let the credits roll all the game and then I
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: get to the opening screen and I just stare at
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: it sadly.
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: I've seen this.
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: It's so I've seen this.
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: I've witnessed this. I've also witnessed the moment that you
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: just start yelling.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: Joel yeah really loudly during this scene. These are all
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: real things I have.
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: I have witnessed these crying and pie in front of
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: that scene.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah.
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: One time I had have played the cheese at the end.
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: I got to the end credit, so I was just
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: crying eating this cheese. Sometimes I'll just put it on
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: because it's actually kind of a soothing credits.
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: Like right, Although definitely when we prep to do these episodes,
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: I find different scenes that people have used to make,
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: like music ten hour long, yeah music too, not music
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: to just I guess like sinsory. Yeah music, and I
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: play that and I think one of them. One of
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: them is the window, which yes you the first one,
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: and then I think the boat and I bought you
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: a sticker with that boat scene. I believe with the
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: yeah because I know you love it so much.
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: I do love it, but it is it's like you.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: You get to the end and you're like listening to water,
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: but you just feel so afloat.
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: But I used to do this with other games. It's
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: it's not like a real sadness in my my heart
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: that aches.
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: It's series ends like Supernatural, which the ending as a
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: whole debacle in itself, but you do feel a little empty.
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's an emptiness. It's an emptiness, and it is
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: something where even games that don't end the game doesn't
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: even have to be sad, like Kingdom Hearts. I used
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: to that in credit scene. I would just listen to
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: the music and be like, well, that's.
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: It, that's the thing, Okay. So it has nothing to
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: do with my like love or.
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: I love all these things I'm talking about, but it's
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: just I think it's the coming down of all the
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: excitement I had before, and then when you get to
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: the end, you're like, ah, all right, and I actually
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: am someone who loves it good that gets over. I
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: think probably one of the reasons this is a tough
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: one is because there's season three and I don't know.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: When it'll come out.
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: But still, I do think video games are interesting because
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: you put so much, like actual playtime into it, and
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: I'll be like, oh, well that's that, okay, can't I
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: can't change the ending of whatever that was. And I
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: put in thirty hours too, like way more. But all
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: this being said, I loved it and I had a
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: great time, and I look forward to it again. It's
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: just kind of a funny thing I know about myself
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: as I have this.
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah, the up and the down, and the up and
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: the down and then testipation.
