The unknown is often horrible, but in some instances, it is a beautiful space of imagination - or at least, a space before you know how things shake out.

Speaker 1 (00:05):
Hey, this is any and Samantha acome stuff I never
told you production of I Heartradio and welcome to another
edition of Happy Hour. As always, if you choose to
drink or whatever you're choosing to do, please do so responsibly. Samantha,
(00:27):
are you sitting on anything?
Speaker 2 (00:29):
I got some water with additives meaning like electoralized and
such because it's been a rough week. Exact guy to
be hydrated. I have a hydrated queen. Oh what about you?
Speaker 1 (00:43):
Nice? I have some red wine for this one because
I'm excited about this one, and that's kind of the
theme of it, because this is my last half hour
before the first episode of The Last of Us season
two comes out, and I'm so excited. It is my
(01:05):
favorite game. For people who don't know, I think you
probably do. I'm gonna say that'd be a shock but
as possible as possible, and the hype is real for me.
But it's also interesting because I am someone who I'm
(01:30):
so excited that almost the knowing part is like I
like the not knowing. At this point in time, I
can imagine anything I want right Like I can imagine
it goes this way and it's so good, or it
goes this way and it's so good, but once it
comes out, that goes away, and I there there is
(01:54):
kind of a distinction between that versus the unknown of
our hellscape, which I find awful, but like if it's
something like this. I am someone who is very active imagination.
I like thinking about things. I know you and I
(02:15):
differ on this, Samantha, But I used to be somebody who,
like I liked the week per week of a show
coming out because I would just imagine, how is the
next episode gonna go? I do think there's space for
shows that you just binge in some summer better to
like wait. And I was somebody who likes the waiting.
(02:36):
I get really excited by it, and then when it happens,
it's over and you don't know. Then the what if
it's bad one is great. I don't know, but right
now I can imagine all of it. And I know
you've seen me do this. But if I love something
(02:57):
a lot, I'll postpone watching it. Sometimes we'll be doing
a watch party and I'll be like, let's wait ten
more minutes, So let's wait twenty more minutes because I'm
so excited and I don't want to lose that feeling
before it happens, and I am excited. I mean, I'm
very excited to see it, obviously, but it's just such
(03:19):
a strange before you know exactly how it's going to
go down, and I am very excited to share it
with people. I'm very curious how it will go down,
especially for people who haven't played the game. I'm kind
(03:40):
of intrigued how that will go. And there is a
bit of shot and for it. I'm gonna admit it
because it is a painful. It's a painful game, and
I'm gonna imagine it's a painful show. I'm going to
kind of be like, you must go through this with me.
(04:03):
It's true, but I don't know, and I try not to.
I it's impossible for me to avoid. Like I wouldn't
even call them spoilers because obviously they played the game,
but they could do something different in the show.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
I mean, they definitely did lust show, like they took
some things and then like expound upon it that you
didn't you didn't think what you didn't know what's gonna happen?
Speaker 1 (04:24):
Oh yeah, and they've cast a character that I'm like,
oh really, they were really mentioned in the show I'm
very curious, so I don't I'm trying to avoid spoilers,
but it's hard for me because the algorithm knows into this. Yeah,
so I don't read the articles, but I see a
lot of headlines, and that's a spoiler, I know, Oh
(04:46):
my gosh. So I've been trying to avoid them, but
I keep running into them. And the honest truth is
I possibly this me having a hope of Shoden for
it is going to come flight meanings. We don't know.
I don't know which I guess would be appropriate. I
(05:09):
do know the first episode is called Future Days and
it's an hour long, and I have a lot of
thoughts about that, but yeah, I mean it's I've said
it before, no one would disagree with me. I think
the second game is a much harder game to adapt
than the first game is. So I don't know how
(05:33):
they're going to do it, and I know they're already
starting the third season, which is part two of the
second season. Really, you know, if it takes them a
long time for it to come out, it's just going
to be difficult. And you'll understand it when we get.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
To the end.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
You'll get what I'm saying. So that's kind of the
thing is I don't think I'm going to be I
feel pretty secure in my love of that game. So
there are some things that I think if it was
really bad, i'd be.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
Hurt.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
And by the way, I don't think it's going to
be really bad. I think even if it doesn't, it's
just going to be difficult to adapt. I have faith
in them, but it's just going to be difficult to adapt.
But I'm not going to be super hurt. I think
it'll be good no matter what. But I don't know.
And then hearing like other people react to it, and
I don't want to spoil them, but I also want to.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
Be like, wait, I mean, we have protocols in place
for producer Christina Reduce because she is one of those
I don't know wait right, she didn't she had to
play the game. No, she doesn't know what's coming. I
don't know if I have a feeling she might have
gotten some spoilers.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
So she did, but she said that, you know, in
a wonderful producer way, because she didn't know who I
was talking about. She's forgotten all of them.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
Well, not just from you, I'm assuming like the way,
like the Internet works and that they're like, oh, this
is the predictions and these and these and these, like
I just saw a funny post about the fact that
the woman who's playing playing Abby Like they're like they
made a whole thing about her showing up in bulletproof
bests to the premiere or something. Yeah, oh is that real?
I thought that was a joke.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
No, it is a joke. Okay.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
The way you looked at me was like, oh, is
that for real?
Speaker 1 (07:20):
Like maybe she does have she had bodyguards, and we'll
we'll talk about that more later. But that is another
thing that I'm like interested to see. It's just how
there's a lot of new characters introduced in the new
season and it kind of shifts a lot. There's a
(07:41):
lot of povs, So I am interested to see how
that plays out. We'll talk about it where we are,
Like we said we're gonna do her reactions. There's only
seven episodes, so I am excited for it to come.
But it just feels like, you know, this is the
moment or I can it can be everything I wanted
(08:01):
to be in my head, and I like to imagine
I like to think that I'm generally we've talked about this.
I'm generally pretty good. It doesn't have to be exact,
it can. It's more of the like truth, the core
of the story and the characters. If you get that right,
then I'm into it. You can add in all kinds
of things, but if you like completely change that, that's
(08:22):
when I'm like, oh, I really don't like this, So
I don't. I don't think they'll do that at all.
It's just I've had this feeling a lot, and there
is a lot of stuff coming out in April actually,
and Or was coming out in April as well, So
I've been feeling this feeling and I just wanted to
to share it because this is, yeah, the last time,
(08:44):
my last happy hour before all I've seen it.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
Although so many emotions are gonna come, so I think
we might have to revive our TikTok stuff after that.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
Oh no, it's just me crying our whole time. It
is just crying and shouting out random words.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
I love it.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
Oh well, I am. I am very excited. Listeners, if
this is an experience you can relate to you, I
don't know if this is just some strange thing I have,
