Hello and welcome to My Mom's Basement, presented by 3Chi and Barstool Sports, and a live Last of Us finale recap edition of My Mom's Basement. It is Robbie Fox, this is my co-host Clem, and we are here at the end of this apocalypse with Pedro Pascal but only the beginning of another apocalypse because we'll be back later in the week with the Mandalorian Clem we just recapped the finale of this heartbreaking emotional show how do we feel I so I feel better than I thought I was going to feel is that fair to say but absolutely i do feel like there is some stuff bubbling i'm now scared of season two of what's coming with us in next season and i mean i was really mad at hbo like the first five minutes could i just go on my rant here that i had saved that i don't have to do

anymore get it off you hbo fuck you sony fuck you playstation fuck you naughty dog for making me do this every single week um it's crazy that like this is probably middle of the pack in terms of pain where i see a mom who just gave birth to her baby have to give the baby up and then ask her best friend for life to shoot her it's like middle of the pack in terms of the pain rankings of this season but that's where we are also shout out to uh that was the voice actress of ellie right yeah so that was ashley johnson who played ellie in the video game earlier in the season we got the actor who played tommy in the video game later on we got joel and here we have ellie so it completes the trifecta very cool thing that they did for the show to include a bunch of voice

actors from the video game yes very cool and she's also um i was just talking to kfc about this is the kid from growing pains so the the 80s oh yeah i was like i was like i know that girl i was like i know that girl that is not just a voice actress seeing all that go down was just fucked and i'm like man if this is the appetizer what are they going to have as the main course? But all things considered, very emotional episode, I thought. And I don't know. I was a fan of it. Now we'll see if there's a secret episode next week because that would be an even number 10. And I don't know.

I'm very happy with the show. I'm very happy with the season other than like the constant kicking the balls, the dick, the fucking throat, the heart, everything you want to have. How about you, Bob? What do you think? Ladies and gentlemen,

that said they felt underwhelmed by it. It felt a little too short to them. I've seen some people say that it felt too long. So I've seen people on both sides of the fence. enjoyed it i loved seeing joel go i mean full spoilers obviously spoilers spoilers spoilers for the last of us finale seeing joel go full like denzel or full gerard butler there awesome i love the twist at the end the revelation that is the one thing i was referring to last week that i remembered was that sort of twist about the fireflies and whatnot. I loved this finale.

Again, I think it sets up an amazing season two. And let's just get into it because we have a lot to recap. You mentioned it already, the birthing scene that we started with. I turned to my girlfriend and I had to laugh and I said, this is going to be like the fifth birthing scene that we're recapping on My Mom's Basement this year. What is going on, HBO? From House of the Dragon to this show, we cannot get a break. fifth birthing scene that we're recapping on my mom's basement this year what is going on hbo from house of the dragon to this show we cannot get a break and it's not just like implied she gives birth it's like no no you're gonna see it placenta and all we're gonna see them fucking slice the

umbilical cord like it's a straw that you know spewing out oh my god jesus christ it clem i can't get a break birth scenes every week i said i'm having house of the dragon flashbacks which by the way for people that haven't watched house of dragon there's like four different birthing scenes like we're not exaggerating here and one gets worse than the next you know it's progressively they all get more and more graphic it's they like start zooming in i think they had smell-o-vision where it's like 4d where you could smell it what the fuck are we doing here? Yeah. That was like the freshest baby I've ever seen in a movie or TV show.

I think that baby was literally born just for the show. I think that was literally some umbilical cord still attached to it. And for people that don't know, two-time umbilical cord cut over here, no big deal. Oh, you cut it? I cut it both times. And that shit is slippery, man. It does not make a smooth cut. You're kind of like, you have i cut it both times and that shit is slippery man it is not it does not make a smooth cut you're kind of like you have to cut a cut a couple times the scissors are curved it's

no bueno baby yeah i'm sorry trust me both you know old podfather shows chaps to talk about the sounds of scissors cutting his wife open and no no no no no no no no listen i apologize to every single person in the chat i apologize to every single person in the chat. I apologize to every person watching after the fact, listening. This was a disgusting start to the show. This was gross. Enough with the birthing, HBO, because if you film it, we have to talk about it. And I don't want to talk about it.

Actually, I kind of wanted to talk about that part just because I knew it would give Bob the heat. We got to stop talking about it. We're going to stop talking about it. The chat's saying stop talking about it,m how much how much does a baby cost how much do you think a baby costs like that young like that fucking baby is like fresh out of the womb like that's like a hundred thousand dollar baby it's fair enough i mean it could have been a traumatic experience for the baby as well because they had the clicker run into the room and basically ambushed the two of them. Now the mother gets bit.

Ellie's mom gets bit in the thigh. She cuts the umbilical cord. Did she cut it before or after, before or after she swears to Marlene who finds her later, the fireflies come in with Marlene swears that she cut it before she was bit. But then she, of course asked Ellie to ask Marlene to take Ellie and kill her.

She's like, you got to leave me with this Marlene face with decision, says, I don't want to do this, but then comes back, shoots her cold-blooded. Unreal start to the episode. We cut right to Joel and Ellie, and they're trying to make their way through the city still. They find Chef Boyardee and Boggle, which we were a big board game podcast at this point.

I love Boggle. I think Boggle's a great one. Great, it's not a board game, but, you know, a board game podcast at this point i love boggle i think boggle's a great one great uh it's not a board game but you know a board game aisle game so boggle you throw me boggle and yahtzee and tell me which one's which i have no idea they told me boggle's a really yahtzee's a number game i could have flipped up i've never played either they're both they're both very fun games to say and a dumb idiot like me you think i would just play the game because it sounds so fun i just it was never big in the casa de clem growing up so i've never played i don't think either of those games in my life but i'm kind of interested because it's if joel says like a like 12 year

old could beat him or 14 year old i kind of like i could fuck with the game like that's that simple so i'm gonna be honest boggle is boggle walked so wordle run. Boggle is a fun game where it's like you have like a box full of letters and you shake it up and then the letters go everywhere and you try to like spell things out with them. I'm pretty sure. I think I'm remembering that. It's fun. And I saw a couple of people talking about this a couple of weeks ago somewhere. Wordle never played Wordle. Not one time.

It's just it was one of those things where I was so sick of seeing people's wordles on my timeline i'm like i will never play this game for my entire life it looks like it's just lingo did you ever watch lingo the on the game show network no i know i like i've definitely heard lingo i've definitely seen on my guide but i couldn't tell you about that i still play wordle every day to this day really yeah i love word i'm like i feel like maybe the only person playing it but i think it's fun fun. You don't post it, which actually I never, I hate people that post it because nobody gives a shit. It's like the fantasy football thing. Nobody cares.

Yep. I muted the word word. So I wouldn't even know if you posted it. So I don't see him anymore. No, I, I think I've posted it maybe once just because I had like a funny pattern or some shit.

I was like, Oh, look at this. It looks like a boob or something. It looks like a middle finger. Lingo is, is an awesome guy i'm gonna send you a little video afterwards you just play at home it's very easy it's some it's some

like letter stuff it's just such a nice little treat bob so treat yourself to some lingo everyone in the chat and i see uh my guy similar to here boggling sorry no idea which one is which every single person in the world doesn't know the difference usually it's sorry and trouble and no one ever knows it's like which one's the one with the bubble and my friends i've come up with a foolproof way to fucking figure this out that you'll never forget for the rest of your life are you ready no one knew this when they tuned into the last of us podcast they were going to have their lives forever changed trouble has the bubble that's all it is you hit the bubble in trouble sorry you flip over a card and then you sometimes flip over and say sorry like go back to home or whatever the fuck it is trouble has the bubble boom thank you ellie

and joel for bringing this show into our lives so i could finally solve that childhood dilemma that is really easy to solve trouble as the bubble folks it's that easy we just literally solved a dilemma that you might have been facing for 20, 30, maybe even 40 years. I don't know how old our listenership is. We have a large demographic, I'm sure. We have maybe the largest demographic. Make sure you like the video for that. For that alone, Trouble Has the Bubble.

And hey, that's the hashtag as well. Yes. Hashtag Trouble Has the Bubble. I want to see that down there. Thumbs up, subscribe, and comment Trouble Has the Bubble. Let's fuck the algorithm up and let these basement boys are going live and they're making fucking things move on youtube on oscar night ls listen i want each and every person listening watching this to think of themselves as joel in the hospital here and you're just fucking the algorithm up you're going to the

algorithm you're going trouble has the bubble trouble has the bubble trouble has the bubble and the algorithm's going we don't know what is going on right now. Like someone is in the system and we can't get them out. Okay? So they make their way through. Ellie is still traumatized, clearly. And Joel picks up on this. He's clearly more warm towards her as well. Like we mentioned with Feidelberg last week, we were like, is their dynamic going to change?

Feidelberg asked us, and it has a little bit, I would say is less harsh towards her he's saying hey is everything okay i've noticed you're talking a little less he suggests i think i should teach you how to play guitar which i think is a big part of the second game because i've seen videos of people playing the video game and like you're able to start strumming a guitar and people try to play songs and stuff. And they're headed towards the hospital that we know is the end game of this whole thing. They then see a system or a industry thing that they have to go through. It was Joel mentioned the only thing the bomb was supposed to hit and they missed it. Ellie starts running away like she sees something crazy. This is a very, very famous scene from the game club.

One of the most famous, she sees a giraffe. Bizarre thing to see in a city, obviously, but a beautiful thing. She feeds it. It's a cute little giraffe. I love giraffes,

big giraffe guy. My sister is a huge giraffe person. So they see a family of giraffes. And Joel just says to her for the first time, he suggests like, you know, we could forget about the whole damn thing. Like we could just go back to Tommy and chill because I think he's getting connected to her as a daughter.

And he's like, yeah, this isn't worth it. Whatever we're doing here. I I've found my happiness here. I'm back to where I want it to be. So when Ellie starts climbing, she's running around, she drops the ladder on him and she's like, oh, I'm like, young lady, what is so goddamn important that in the middle of an apocalyptic world we're living in here. You almost said the Z word. You almost said the Z word there. We have a live audience, too.

So I don't want them being like, it's not a zombie. It's clickers. You fucking zombie apocalypse. And I was so mad at that girl. I threw the dad voice on her. Then when I saw the giraffe, I said, giraffe's rule, Ellie. That is one of the maybe five acceptable things in the entire universe that I say would have been acceptable. They're so goddamn cute.

Do you know what color a giraffe's tongue is, Bob? Oh, I guess not. I believe it's black. Really? acceptable they're so goddamn cute do you know what color a giraffe's tongue is bob oh i guess not i believe it's black and now i'm saying it might be purple and the reason i know that is from salute your shorts camp on a one and old they there was like a trivia question and the counselor ug r.i.p in peace um he like knows that it's like etched in his brain i think it was their mascot so i'm looking at the tongue the tongue was even the right color it was goddamn beautiful and remember those direct tv commercials where it's like you'll have so much money you can buy a baby giraffe i wanted that goddamn baby giraffe so badly robbie i wanted it and i found out it was cgi it was like it broke my heart it's like i'm telling you

that baby giraffe and this is a nerd thing i know this is gonna offend some people in the chat it's gonna probably offend robbie too that baby giraffe is in i'm not gonna say the same tier but in the same you know universe it's going as baby grew as baby yoda and baby group i'm telling you it's in the same atmosphere it's in the same it's like hey listen it's in the tournament those guys are one seat this guy you're telling me listen it's in the tournament those guys are one this guy you're telling me that baby giraffe in the direct tv commercial wasn't a 16 seat at the very least in the cute baby things tournament this might have to be a new episode of the bracket it might have to be cute babies baby yoda baby groot muppet babies the babyosaurs, the television show, the baby that talks, Boss Baby. Bob has a lot of babies lined up here right now.

There's a lot out there, but you know what? The baby giraffe might make it. He like spits at the guy or kisses him. I'm trying to like baby Grinch, baby Mike Wazowski from Monsters U. That's a good one. Yeah, there's a lot. There's a lot of good babies there's a lot of good ones let him know in the chat let him know in the chat look who's talking

baby look who's talking and like just think of how much you love those big giraffes and then it's a little baby giraffe that you get to keep it you know i actually met a famous giraffe before all right that's a fucking quote right there his name is stanley he's the giraffe from the skittles commercials and the hangover three he gets decapitated in the hangover three they have him in the car and they drive like under an overpass uh stanley the giraffe was at uh i think it was malibu wine hikes i went on like a wine hike saw stanley the giraffe and they told us all about Stanley the giraffe.

I tweeted about him. Then months later, I started getting tweets from Stanley the giraffe activists being like these people like aren't telling us where Stanley the giraffe is and we're worried about him. Like, have you heard from Stanley? And I was like, I'm sorry, I haven't. He hasn't hit me up, hasn't DM me, hasn't said, let's go hang out. None of that. So, yeah, this is a this is a Stanley the giraffe tangent on the last of us, but I hope you're with us.

The most ridiculous lines I've ever heard Mike Francesa say, who is like the most ridiculous person in the history of humanity. Right. He actually said, I actually met Secretariat. That was his line. I actually met Secretariat talking about a fucking horse and robbie just did that in real life saying i met a famous giraffe and then had his stanley the giraffe let's be honest though let's pay our respects to the goat giraffe and we know who that is jeffrey yeah obviously toys are us which is back kind of in macy's they like have like a little toy section where if you go to Macy's, God bless you, that's amazing. There's a Macy's that has still survived. And then you just go

with your kids and then they just... Why? What's wrong with Macy's? Is Macy's out? Well, I'm saying all those stores are basically dead at this point. Macy's is the last one. It's basically the last of us. It's Macy's and no one else. Macy's, JCPenney, right? Is that up there? JCPenney might still be kicking. I'm not sure. Jcp i think they're

kicking i bought a suit there my only suits from jc penny that's a fun fact for the chat leave us a like for that one all right all right r.i.p stanley so well we don't know if stanley's dead yet joel x le if she's okay i'm sorry i'm sorry the relationship though it changed to the point where i thought joel was almost like trying to like buy back time. And he's like, I can teach you guitar. We can play Boggle. Like, we'll do whatever you want. Like, he realized he was a little tough.

And she's traumatized, though, I think. Oh, that's from last week. We're right off the heels of last week. Keep that fresh in your mind where it's like she just went through some shit. And they remember they said Craig Mason said in the after the show last week week he was like ellie is never going to be the same person after what she went through feidelberg referred to it as hell which by the way we would have had feidelberg on i know people were asking for it me and clem we're we're stupid pussies bitches you call it call us what you will or we were just like it's 10 p.m we don't want to ask anyone to come on it's too late

yeah i i was gonna ask kfc you were gonna have fights we saw maybe you got like a little kfc We were just like, it's 10 p.m. We don't want to ask anyone to come on. It's too late. Yeah, I was going to ask KFC. You were going to have fights. We thought maybe you got like a little KFC radio. We just feel too bad. And the funny thing is they both were like, yeah, sure, no problem. Like, it's just one of those things that it's like you just don't want to do it. Just like if someone asked me, hey, Clem, you want to come on? Yeah, of course.

Let's fucking rock and roll. But it's just it's like, I don't know, man. It's every Sunday night. Everyone just wants to chill in their bed. And we're with the basement boys. So it's all gravy in their bed. And we're with the basement boys, though. So it's all gravy. All right. And we're with the basement boys because of game time.

Let's tell the people about one of our favorite sponsors. This is the exclusive ticketing partner of Barstool Sports created by fans for fans. Game time is the ticketing app that makes it easier than ever to score last minute deals on tickets to sports, concerts, shows, and more. They guarantee the lowest price as well.

sold i go check out game time promo code mmv so we're all gonna be watching bluey all those dads um thanks to game time i love it so joel opens up to ellie at this point they're in the camps in the like camps opened up by the army in the days after the outbreak and she asks about sarah and he doesn't shut her down for the first time she's like oh was that like with sarah and he was like nope that was already afterwards and he just lets the conversation flow and then confesses about the scar on his head and finally admits it wasn't someone shooting him and missing it was him trying to commit suicide in the days after the outbreak right after sarah and he missed he flinched and he missed and they have this unreal line that hit as hard as any line in this show hit as hard as the bill and frank line wasn't scared till i met you and all that for me where she says like time heals all wounds i guess and he looks at her and

with the greatest delivery he could ever give says it wasn't time that did it. And even Bella Ramsey's acceptance of that, she doesn't say anything. She doesn't have to. The look that she gives was so meaningful, so powerful. This was just, oh, man, this is heavy. When he just mentioned Sarah, I fucking took it. I fell off the chair. I was like, like whoa we're

we're saying the s word now we're just throwing that around willy-nilly here joel what the fuck's going on so uh yeah i that whole scene was uh pretty wild it's like the revelation that he killed himself was almost like the third thing on the list in terms of like holy shit moments in terms of that little scene so that was uh that. And I'm like, oh, baby, we're going to have – now this is the thing. If this wasn't the finale, I think we would have had like a good 15 minutes where we're just kind of growing this relationship. And I'm like, oh, boy, sunshines and rainbows. I was looking for sunshine and rainbows this episode.

And I know I'm watching The Last of Us, and those sunshine and rainbows are going to get murdered in front of my face. But I was just like, man, wouldn't it just be nice if we just could see their relationship build i was so excited and we're just like we're gonna tell some jokes like it's not a scary show and just have a fucking ball and that's just big dumb climb and that's what happens in the fucking last of us no sunshine and rainbows ever for us it's not fair can they release the last of us dlc sunshine and rainbows edition where it's like we get to see all the parts in between the dramatic moments in this TV show where it's like,

yeah, this was just them talking about puns for another hour. Like, just give us that for an hour. Let, let, let us see that these people's lives weren't all bad. You know,

it wasn't all misery. Craig Mason, this fucking guy, give us some Chernobyl to this. He's just trying to rip our hearts out. What is wrong with this guy? You know, in Chernobyl,

that first episode, I watched it. And at the credits, I credits I said you know what I'm not built for this like I knew I wasn't built for Chernobyl and I just bailed I said this is I heard nothing but great great great things and it was like um remember when Roan and Coley and a couple other guys they started that chain where it was just pictures of dead birds and they were going to send each other and I was like I'm a bird guy can I get in it and i i don't know it was ron or cully like clem do you really want to be on the dead bird chain i'm like yeah i'm not i'm not made for the dead bird chain i'm made for the i'm in the alive bird chain where i like sometimes yeah live birds to large and i'm like large i've been in that before i've sent you guys bird pictures yeah i see cardinal in ohio boom send it over to my two guys barstool

bird bird watching club and kate's in it as well we we we've never met before like in terms of a meeting but it's like on the agenda i'll introduce you and kate next time you're in the office i've thought about making a shirt which is barstool bird watching club and it's like the old big johnson shirts where it's like we'll have the binoculars you have a couple little puns on the back so uh man it's we should do a video talk about wholesome content you and me painting a couple birdhouses making like some star wars themed birdhouses man you get us to 40 000 subscribers i promise we're gonna do that we're gonna get down to back to 30 if they're like no fucking way i'm gonna let you guys

i said it to you and our guys sam later that was seeing the chat here. I want to watch a movie where it's Jurassic park and the dinosaurs just stay in their cages and are like happy. They're not like sad dinosaurs. I just want to watch dinosaurs for like two hours. And I want to watch Joel and Ellie just tell jokes and just have fun each other. A couple of little laughs, a couple of sour stories,

like not the sad ones, just nice stories. That's all I want to hear. Is that like the ones at the end of the episode? Those were nice. I mean, like they were, they're were they're melancholy though because you know that's just in your mind like oh she's not here but it makes you feel good makes you feel bad the last of us makes you feel everything so they break the tension with some puns in this moment where

he's like you know what i need now a couple puns break out that book she starts reading a couple you know what do they say about the apocalypse day after tomorrow blah blah blah whatever and they have this masterful shot in the background where it's not in focus at all but you just see people run into frame and launch a grenade looking thing which is i think a flashbang not a grenade but oh my god the way they shot that was awesome it was like holy fuck they're not gonna move oh my god they're not moving and then it just hits a couple good puns in there as well i felt so proud of myself that i saw the person as soon as they were on screen usually those things just completely shock me i'm the last you do the old guy thing where you're like i had what i think i'm seeing i had to throw

my glasses halfway through the episode robbie okay if that's what you're asking yes yeah i had the notes it's getting late that's when the eyes start going around 9 o'clock Any mutes? I assume not We didn't really get a lot of Other than the beginning I'm having issues with my closed captioning Which is another old person thing to say I understand But trust me So what I'm doing is

I was using my parents HBO It's not working on my TV So I have to go through the laptop And when I use the laptop closed captions it turns on Spanish for some reason and if I can use it on the remote it works but today it wasn't working it's worked in the past like Buzz Lightyear when he gets reprogrammed in Spanish you just don't know how to redo it oh I love horny Spanish Buzz Lightyear it's one of my favorite twists in Toy Story man it's incredible Yeah so that's basically what I'm doing

I'm like this is I might learn Spanish by season 2 Instead of just paying the whatever $15 A month for HBO that would be much easier I'll buy a $300 Rosetta Stone Just to learn Spanish so I can watch the closed Captioning on my mom's account While I'm fucking too scared

To watch Almost said it A post apocalyptic clicker show post-apocalyptic clicker show. We're watching a clicker show here. There you go. Yeah, and I just respectfully don't believe anyone over the age of 40 when they say my closed captioning doesn't work. I'm like, all right, it works.

You hit the wrong button. I'm going to show you a video. I'm going to record it all, and I'm going to show it to you, and you're going to tell me if I'm right or wrong. I know exactly just how old I sound right now. Yeah. You, you,

you sound pretty old. Um, Joel wakes up with Marianne or not Marianne Marlene. I don't know. Where'd I get Marianne from? That's, that's an old person. I'm still noodley from Disney.

I'm tomorrow. I told Clem tomorrow, I'm taking my sixth and seventh flight in 10 days. So I'm all over the map here. I feel like I just got hit with a flashbang. All right. I'm just simulating that flashbang for everyone at home. And oh, wait, six and seven flight in the same day. Robbie, does that mean you're taking a flight and going coming back the same day? Yeah, that's exactly what he means. This fuck right here across the country, like six hour flight, six hour flight, all that.

So he wakes up with Marlene. She explains that Ellie is alive. She's OK. And the Fireflies believe she is the cure and the answer to everyone's prayers that she can save humanity but they're prepping her for surgery that's gonna kill her they don't say it in those terms but he they talk about the cordyceps as feidelberg mentioned last week and they say those are in the brain right she's like they are indeed joel freaks out and he's like absolutely fucking not let me see her get the fuck out of here.

And she's like, escort him off the premises and fucking shoot him if he does anything. So they start bringing him out. They start bringing him down the staircase and he just snaps. He's like, no, ain't happening. Turns around, shoots someone, shoots a guy right in the cock. I think he shoots him right in the dick. It was just unreal. I couldn't believe that's what he went for. Then he just said, I don't have time for this. Shoot someone in the cock i think he shoots him right in the dick it was just unreal i i couldn't believe that's what he went for then he just said i don't have time for this shoot someone in the face

joel reminds you constantly in this show he's a shoot first guy he's not a fuck around he's not i give you a second chance guy he's not a stutter no no no no he is a shoot first guy and this was the beginning of an all-time rampage i said he goes full denzel slash butler you could put a gerard butler role in here you could put a denzel role in here equalizer man on fire even john q a little hospital influence there oh yeah joel goes crazy barely breaks a sweat either it's not like he starts going through he gets shot in the leg and he starts ducking around a corner no no no he goes terminator he goes ellie's in danger i'm going to kill every single person in my way to get to her i i had it as joel wick hashtag joel wick joel wick oh that's a great

hashtag too all right hashtag joel wick as well you gotta hit both you got if you hit the uh trouble bubble you gotta hit joel wick hashtag joel wick creasy bear that's always like what gets in my mind though man on fire and it's because obviously he's protecting the little girl. I mean, this guy basically gets his second daughter into his life. And then she immediately gets flash banged, stolen, and they're trying to take her fucking brain. And I was thinking, like, couldn't we think of another way to, like, not do this without taking the kid's brain out? But then I remember, like, there's been months, if months if not years right that they've been waiting for ellie so i'm guessing this is the best to have i'm like can we do like five other like there's really no rush here you can figure

out ways to fight off raiders the clickers you can kind of like avoid them like can we think of like let's try something with blood first and let's try something with this first before we just take the one person that may be able to fight this and just take her fucking brain out so i was pissed we were all like the oh and the music they started playing the theme music during the scene and i was going fucking crazy for that i was screaming man it was awesome and even when he's he's hitting him with the gun but then when he takes the knife out and i'm like yeah it's ellie's knife it's the knife we see in the beginning that the mother gives and passes down and all that he's

like killing this is for ellie with ellie's knife and everything now let's talk about the dilemma that they're faced with right ellie can potentially save humanity if we kill her is this one person worth literally all of humanity? That's what Joel is faced with. And that's what Marlene is faced with. I also think it was brilliant to have those two people in those positions, right? Marlene being someone that actually knew her mother was like, protect my baby. And she's like, is this like what she would want?

This the purpose that Ellie serves? And then you have Joel who lost his daughter 20 years ago, has been looking for, not even really looking for a replacement, has just been lost for 20 years. And now he's found and it's in Ellie. I said, it's a crazy, crazy,

crazy dilemma where you go. It's one person for potentially seven, 8 billion. You got to make that trade, right? But no, I fell in love with Ellie, just like Joel did this season where I feel like she's family.

And no, you can't kill her. You have to save her. You have to lie to her like he does in the end. You have to do what he did. Yeah. So that is the real tough part of all the when he murders the doctor to just write off the bets. Like, well, that guy, he's he's not saving anybody now. I know I wrote Joel.

Don't play no games with the surgeon. Don't play no games. Because that's the's he's not saving anybody now clem i know i wrote joel don't play no games with the surgeon don't play no games i wrote because that's the attitude he had he was just like no don't have time for this boom yeah and then the other nurses were like okay okay we'll bandage her up take her take her we don't want we don't even want her it's it's and like that guy has a very certain like almost killing the doctor i mean obviously ellie is 101 in this world but the doctor i imagine remember the guy in kansas city it's like a doctor he's worth his weight in gold right now and this is a doctor that could potentially like is ready to what is it quadriceps he's gonna unquadricep the brain

wherever the community final bird just to pronounce the names for us god damn it um cordyceps quadriceps they were they were hitting all the seps did you realize too that he was carrying ellie like sarah you know it was like the same kind of you know break night i didn't realize that yeah i don't even know if that's true but he was carrying her so yeah yeah well confirmed was gonna double check us right no one don't fact check the basement people in the last of us fandom i don't think they're specific about that shit fact check the the podcast that actually say that they know what they're talking about because we most certainly don't. I'm fine with Ellie making the choice or Joel making the choice for Ellie because she wasn't given the choice in it.

And this is the reason I said this last episode and I'm rehashing it now. Does humanity truly deserve to be saved? Because I'm telling you, Bob, I saw a little of this episode where I'm kind of back on team fungus and I'm getting a little stronger on team fungus here. It's like, yeah, they're just going to take this kid's brain out now. And this is the other thing.

Yes. I know. Uh, like it's not Joel's place to make that decision, but at the same point, Marlene, she made a promise when the kid was fucking one minute old basically right that she was going to keep her alive and and taking your kid's brain out

is the opposite of doing everything you can to protect her by the way the chat is confirming shout out which this is an unreal username that i have to read out loud jfk headshots says it's true he carried her the same way. I, I didn't know disrespect to the Kennedy family. I know. I know. And we've got people saying, I love that people aren't spoiling the last of us too, for us there.

They're being, you know, coy with it. Someone said the doctor is critical in part two's story. So that's interesting. And the doctor seems pretty fucking dead, but we'll see about that. I guess,

I guess he's dead, but maybe people connected to him. Don't spoil it for us. We're excited. interesting and the doctor seems pretty fucking dead but we'll see about that i guess um i guess he's dead but maybe people connected to him don't spoil it for us we're excited i'm gonna play the last of us the first game now and maybe i'll even play the last of us too before season two and i'll go into that kind of an expert on it i could lead clem through it i could hold his hand through where he needs to mute you know or i was gonna say or you can like correct me like hey asshole it's not zombies yeah this one these are evolved cordyceps now yeah so he mows the hospital down he brings ellie out and marlene is in the parking garage waiting for them and she's like we can change this like we can still change the way everything goes down i don't care what you did you just got to make the right decision

for me right now. And it just flashes right to Joel and Ellie in the car. And Ellie wakes up and this is where Joel lies to her. He says, they ran some tests. There's dozens like you out there that are immune to this thing, but you know what? They couldn't make anything work. They stopped looking for a cure and Raider stormed the hospital. She says, were people hurt? He says, yep. And she just takes a deep breath and they flash back to the parking garage he killed marlene in cold blood he was carrying her and this time he didn't allow for the other person to shoot first in that situation you know where he was with sarah he had that gun hidden under the table fucking han solo style

shoots her in cold blood and then says like you would just come out she says like please whatever he's like you would just come after us boom pops her right in the head and then the hike to tommy's town in wyoming they talk about sarah a little bit this is nice conversation about sarah where they they relate them a little bit he's like she had a beautiful smile not that you didn't not that you didn't i'm sorry uh but they talk about it like that and then she has a moment where she says swear to me that everything you said about the fireflies is true and the look on her face tells us that she doesn't believe it and he just says I swear and then she also gives this is another Emmy

worthy look where she gives that look where she says I don't believe it but I'm gonna pretend that I do for now I'm gonna swallow my pride and accept it because what do we do if that is true like are we not gonna have this relationship is that gonna ruin this relationship i'm sure we'll find out in part two and i'm excited for that i thought it was a great great great ending to this and you could see why bella ramsey said it was gonna be controversial it's not in in my eyes people in the chat could correct me from what i remember about watching the cut scenes it's it doesn't divert from the game that is what i remember from the game oh okay i didn't know if it was divisive because like should joel have had been able to you know

was he right or wrong for i think that's what she was talking about okay yeah yeah yeah um and so during that scene when they're walking up and joel is just like tripping all over himself it's like nothing like you said not that you didn't have a great it's like if you have like a new girlfriend and some of the old girlfriend comes up and he's basically just like you know making himself look like a goddamn putz so come on man just don't compare your two daughters to each other i was i felt so bad for him um i also didn't know like ellie's very smart person we learned that from the jump is she can like just send stuff and i immediately as they're walking you just tell there's something over there and i'm like is she gonna grab his fucking gun here

like did she hear something before like i i was scared about that and i'm thinking like that would be a divisive moment so i was scared about that and then basically comes down to he's talking about sarah on his own which again that was very like basically it comes down to, he's talking about Sarah on his own, which again, that was very like disarming just to hear that. And then when that scene and she goes swear and he swears, this might be, I was team Damon and I'm always spin zoning and I'm trying to defend my guys.

And I think we're all, I don't think I know anyone who's not a Joel fan who watches the last week to be a puppy, even though I'm team fungus, I'm also team Joel very rare combo but it's true he didn't swear on anything so that's what I'm going to say

is why it's okay if he swore on Sarah and he lied that would have been a problem if he pinky promised that would have been a problem even a pinky promise I pinky promises are like true and there's you really hook pinkies yeah yeah if you know it's the hook and then the kiss

it's the two together that on top of it's the no i've never kissed a pinky promise i gotta never you've never made a pinky promise then you have to kiss the pinky promise no i've made a pinky promise that sounds like a pinky promise plus that it's like that's like a pinky promise that marlon brando makes it that fucking godfather well i make you enough you can't refuse like i picture you make a kiss if you're wearing a pinky ring and you make a pinky promise if you get a contract you're like up contract looks good that's your pinky promise bob i signed the contract the kiss is the signature on the contract am i going crazy here the chat needs to tell us if a kiss on a pinky promise is true. Okay.

How do you say the game? Kiss on a pinky promise? Yeah. Do people, I feel like that's like, it's like a handshake. It's like a, or how do you say this? Tell me. How do you say it? Rock, paper, scissor.

How do you play that? Say it. Rock, paper, scissor says shoot. And you're a says guy. The basement's going through some stuff for the people don't know i'm not a says guy i have you say rock paper scissors shoot rock paper scissors shoot yep the says is unnecessary the says is unnecessary uh kisses extra hasn't heard of a kiss before flash in the chat no kisses who kisses on a pinky promise not all pinky promises someone says mike t says a kiss before flash in the chat no kisses who kisses on a pinky promise

not all pinky promises someone says mike t says a kiss makes it stronger yeah someone says uh-oh is this the end of the basement not if we have any anything to say about it no come on mando's coming out that's just gonna mend the basement together unless clem becomes a diehard bocatan a guy and then she goes full death watch and everything like that let me tell you what can mend the basement together though everyone listen to me tell you what can mend the basement together though.

for any questions, comments, concerns. I want to know what the chat thought of the Last of Us finale. I actually have the capability, I believe, to throw some comments on the screen like we did for Game of Thrones here. So we got Darnado here. we got darnado here said if the basement survived the past few weeks parentheses legos they can survive anything when we were in

universal with our pal sam lauderdale who's in the chat down below i believe uh we were looking in the gift shops they have some marvel gift shops in universal still because we're east of the mississippi and i was trying to get you guys on my side i was picking up lego sets literally and walking them over to you and being like, what about this? If you were a little kid, you're telling me you wouldn't like this. It was an Avengers HQ

with like the full end game set. And it was every, and you were like, I would take all the mini figures out of that and I would love the figures, but I wouldn't care for the set. I was like, this fucking guy. My wife sent me stuff.

AJ wants Legos for his birthday. And it's like, like a walkway that's like this big and like a luigi figure 50 bucks i'm like what what is this for and again when i was growing up we didn't have lego like sets where you're building the avengers hq it was just like you'd have a big blue block and then some green blocks some red blocks and you'd like create stuff on your own there was no following a guideline nothing looked like anything you would use your imagination in your hands and my brain stinks and my hand stinks so why would i like legos so again it's back in my day you got you got a little back in my day at that point let me just say this though bob i saw

something i have them upstairs i should have brought them down i went to costco they were on sale at costco and it is the dream it's the thing that's going to bring the basement together oh you want me to go get it should i get it live in the pot get it go get it get it live on the pot i'll talk to the chat while you get if it's bringing the basement together i mean i can see him in the reflection like scurry off that was great all right i'll answer some stuff in the uh in the chat while clem is gone what barstool employees would be the best survivalists in the last of us universe. You got to think the zero block 30 squad right away,

right? It's kind of cheating with them because like they lived it. They were survivalists in a way. Chaps, cons Kate, they would be great. Billy football. I say Billy football would be great,

but he turned on everyone in the world's most dangerous game show. The Barstool's most dangerous game show. So I don't know. Maybe he would turn on the group right away. Are you ready for Bella Ramsey to be QB1 next season? I guess she maybe takes over for Joel in terms of the lead character. I'm ready for that.

I think she's earned it after season. All right, Clem. What's going to bring the basement together here? All right, this is going to bring us together. What does Robbie love? Legos. What does clem love snacks lego snacks gummy building blocks oh my god so have you had the like chalky lego candy yes

yes good candy good i mean it hurts your teeth and like that's something you're like you can have fun putting those together whatever i have no doubt in my mind. Gummy ones. I'm a huge gummy guy too. For the people watching, not listening. Those straight up look like Legos. Do they click in too? They click in. Look at that. Oh my God.

And I think they give you, they'll give you like some, like maybe some big ones or a couple Some instructions. Yep. And AJ, my wife said AJ has been into Legos lately. Can we get him some Legos? And then I saw these on sale at Costco And it was like $5 for this giant bag And he loves gummy snacks

So I'm like let's fucking rock and roll So the basement boys can come together You build a Lego Give a review Give a review of a red for the people 1 to 10 We're not doing ball scale we're doing just 1 to 10 This is strawberry

i usually go red first with candy i feel like red is like a good fastball that's a good one too strawberries red green is apple blue is blueberry yellow is lemon strawberry it's like a solid seven eight like i'm happy'm happy. Okay. Seven, eight. I'm happy with a seven, eight. Yeah. Some more comments from the chat that we've got. This was the best video game remake into a TV show. Great cinematography.

Pascal was great. Ellie grew on me, but felt rushed by the end. Um, see, I, I go back and forth whether or not, and we also had JFK headshots.

Our friends say, Oh my God, his fucking profile picture too. Jesus Christ. Oh, Jesus, JFK headshot. I got to take that off. We're going to get taken off YouTube, man. He said it was the best representation of a video game too. I don't know if I could say it felt rushed because the mall episode, I liked the mall episode.

I think both of us liked it more than most people did. But when you have an episode like that, you could have removed does it still feel rushed maybe just the ending felt rushed he was saying and i could have gone for an hour-long finale tonight i would have liked that yeah um i guess it would have had to change the pick i i think the the mall i realized was necessary i think that was the big yeah necessary that i would have liked some more stuff in that episode they could have even bringing it up in this episode was good when she tells him about Riley and that that's like a big moment for her. Yep. Yep.

I agree. Also JFK headshots had this before the last of us won game of the year when it was released on PS3 and then wanted again when it was remastered on PS4. That is ridiculous right there. Yeah. That's like Taylor Swift. When she put all too well up for the Grammys again,

this year it was like, you shouldn't be allowed to do that um happy day say joel joel going ham was absolutely crazy you could see the constant ptsd from his desert storm days to his daughter's death to the emotions he has for his new daughter gets more gray hair every episode i loved the way they shot his rampage because it wasn't straight up like action movie you know like it was muffled it was like he was someone in the chat said he was disassociating almost and he was just everything was cloudy and and he was just going through motions of terror and horror resorting to the old him oh is the bugs bunny mean like oh lord don't don't make me go back to the old me

and he went back to the old him. David Snyder says, did the lack of clickers take anything away, Robbie? I'm sure Clem was fine with it. For me, I definitely would have liked more clickers, and I think we'll probably get more in Season 2, knowing nothing

about the game, just knowing the budget's probably going to go up, so you would imagine more CGI, more clickers. I would have liked liked more i didn't think it took anything away though i saw a chat on our guy uh heavy spoilers who this is the first time i'm going and without watching his recaps beforehand so again i he would have you know uh informed me of some shit that i probably missed along the way but he would show a lot of times like how they did it in the game and a lot of times the game did have more comic because the game they're not just gonna have just stories right just cut scenes going the whole time even though i hate the shit out of those scary moments

i think it would have helped i always said they moved the difficulty up to medium and you had to do some more fighting along the way because again maybe i wouldn't be team fungus if fungus actually presented an issue more than once or twice to us, right? So it's usually the Raiders that end up fucking us up or just some dickbag human. So I don't know if it took anything away, but I do think it could. Maybe an extra episode, the Maul episode, you put a little more fighting with clickers, and then another episode worth of clickers throughout the season which then bangs us to an even 10 the way you space everything out perfect show 10 out of 10 i think

we just made the last of us a perfect show still very good though uh like the fact that we haven't been hired as consultants by all of the streaming networks at this point you're giving away money me and clem would just make you this money here exactly on the contrary to people who feel it was rushed nick says it felt rushed because there was significantly less combat which is fine for the tv show too much combat would have eventually gotten pretty repetitive that's probably pretty true with the show and then i also saw this comment from jake goodman who said i think the biggest reason i love the games more than more than the show is that the game focus focus the game forces you to actually do the terrible

things that joel does it makes it much more personal and emotional and jake that's a sick comment right there you're like i think i like the game better because it made me feel like shit more i had to fucking murder with my own bare hands and i still see the blood on them drying to this day but you know what i guess that is kind of what the game does to you and like even when joel in this episode he just fucking kills the doctor which i feel i don't know anything about two i didn't know anything about one heading into this i didn't even know this show was coming on tv until you told me a couple months ago but i feel like joel's gonna be like wanted for murder of like i don't know how what kind of reach the fireflies have but it's like this guy just killed

like an important fucking doctor here we need to get and he has the girl which i figured that is going to be the thing obviously he's 100 if he had let marlene live she was just going to hunt ellie down that was going to be her life i think and i don't know anything about you other than what i've heard people say in terms of it's different it's uneven um i think i feel good with this crew the directors and whatnot they've made awesome stuff they made stuff that was just random parts of the story and like the bill and frank stuff that we love they kind of expanded upon that i think they can make it better but i also think this is maybe a time where we throw like some more clickers around you know to fill in the blanks we've got i believe this is Nick hammy in the chat.

I would imagine under the KFC radio account, he said, I'm late to the party. So I'm not sure if he talked about it or not, but was that climb up there and grab the ladder at the most video game moment in the series? Yes. I actually, we didn't talk about this really, but I thought this in the moment when he's like, go up there and drop down the ladder or whatever. I was like, Oh, that is a task you would have in the video game. Even the dialogue that came right directly after it felt like it could have just been straight out of the video game and i wonder how many and i'm sure the heavy spoilers of the

world already have this counted and they're going to put a video out that says like 193 easter eggs in the last of us tomorrow yeah i'm wondering wondering how many people have lines in the show that are directly pulled from the game that aren't um cut scene lines that are just background lines like as you're walking past them or something like that because obviously the cut scene lines you know the ending cut scene the chat pointed out is pretty much word for word from the game and it's a cinematic game so that's why it worked like the last of us video game is half a movie basically that's crazy man it's so where are they going now are they going to tommy is that where they are yeah in wyoming his town wyoming looks fucking awesome that was another comment i had when they just like stopped at that spot and i was just like

the wyoming tourist board they got their money's worth out of this. If that was even Wyoming, for all I know, it could be anywhere else in the fucking planet. And how about this? We got a bunch of people in the chat saying, talk to us about the giraffe scene. We want to know more about the giraffe scene. Why was it so meaningful? How about we get the chat? Tell us why it's so meaningful. Because us two guys, as two people that haven't played the video game, you guys could probably say a lot more eloquently than us.

A lot of people are saying the second game may be could probably say a lot more eloquently than us um a lot of people are saying the second game may be split into two seasons okay so because we were saying it might be the the show could only be another only one more season i don't think hbo is going to want that to happen right so that that would make sense um i love i just want to say shout out to everyone in the chat here this is my favorite like i forget this when we do the the pod just me and you is how great it is having the chat when we do house of the dragon and the high council corrects us on all the shit they help us out and they give like the good questions and content i know well like i i don't know what to call them for this it's like the high council for game of thrones i don't want to call them the fireflies or fedra you know

there's no raiders like the raiders raiders are kind of cool we were like oh that's a cool word to use the keyboard clickers they're clicking the keyboard when they're typing oh the keyboard clickers that's pretty good i like that clown the keyboard clickers um people are saying our guy jfk headshot says it's meaningful because it brings a soft scene to the game where it's been pure chaos beforehand. Also, Rance's The Last of Us 2 takes about 15 to 24, 25 to 30 hours to finish. The Last of Us takes about 15. So, yeah, it'll probably wind up being two seasons. You know what?

Fuck it. Breaking news. Last of Us Season 2, the video game, will be two seasons long. Last of Us is now going to be three seasons long. We're breaking it. Hash, tweet, and tweet it out. Fucking put a link to the YouTube. We're just going to make up our own news.

We can aggregate our own news to get this fucker personal sports. I'll text Justin Kroll and be like, sources confirm, write a story about this on deadline right now. And he'll be like, absolutely not. Absolutely not. You ain't my boss, sir.

And I know you're kidding. Not only will you get fired for this, I'm going to sue you for even um in the end how do we feel about the chat um how do we feel about the choice that joel made chat yeah i know that obviously people have sat with this if you're video game fans you've sat with it for a while a lot of people are saying that yeah you could read here kenny's the giraffe scene was important because it just helped ground Ellie after such a brutal moment. It was just such a zen moment in the game.

Absolutely understand that. It's a scene where we get that nature can survive and move on despite all of humanity's bullshit. Another great way to put it. We got some poets in the chat tonight. Sweet boy, Kev. There's KFC's burner. I'm going to tell them that's KFC.

Kylie Grace says, Neil Druckmann explains the draft scene as a moment of fleeting innocence for whatever it's worth. It's good to know fleeting innocence because yeah, Ellie, from this moment on, it's not like she ever really had a childhood, but it's over. Whatever she had of it is gone. The pun book. Even that is, I don't think we're going to get a lot of pun book Ellie in season two season two i could be wrong i haven't played the last of us too so i could be wrong i wonder if the book like she'll be way more closed off is the pun book gone now do they do they do the probably is gone yeah yeah she's just in her gown so i don't think yeah and he's like yeah the raiders came quick i had to grab you and pull you out that's a metaphor robbie because her childhood

is over the pun book was part of her childhood she even had the first pump book we're doing fucking big i don't need these fucking youtube recappers i can put the deal i mean i'm telling you when heavy spoiler said he always look at his watch whenever he thought of sarah and that's and i'm like man that's something i would have never in a million years picked up i just feel dumber every time i see people like that break down these shows. So we got some thoughts from the chat. Kind of a scumbag move to lie like that. It is tough. I mean, if she's 14, 15, you could say she's old enough to handle the truth

and come up with her own decisions and stuff like that. Kenny says most fans agree it needs to be two seasons. Mighty Machismo says parent here. Hashtag Team Joel. Yeah, if you're a parent, I mean, come on. How could you possibly give up what feels like your kid, even if it isn't your blood relative? He's most as parent here. Hashtag team Joel. Yeah. If you're a parent, I mean, come on. How could you possibly give up what feels like your kid, even if it isn't your blood relative,

he did save the world, but his world was Ellie. Sorry, earth drop in fucking poetry. Mike, save the world, not his world. Boom.

Oh, timeline jumps, deeper storytelling. All right. We're getting some timeline jumps in season two maybe we'll we'll get uh recastings casts emma darcy is one of the bellies or something did we find it a little weird that joel had a 20 kd with a bolt action rifle versus machine guns that's funny uh he had it on easy you know he said he had the game on easy yeah little john mclean style there you know, Sam says a hundred thousand percent would have done the same thing as Joel.

The fault is all on Marlene for letting Joel go. That's a good point. Like Marlene should have never said we're prepping her for surgery. Like she should have been like, Oh, uh, she's fine. Yep.

We're doing with that. We're doing some tests. We're going to, you know, try to get some of her blood out and whatever. Don't be like, yeah, we're going to take her brain out of her head.

She's dead, Joel. Thanks for delivering her. It's the classic villain trope of we're going to tell you our secret here. You caught me monologue. And I was watching Incredibles the other day with Syndrome. And he just says, you caught me monologue. And it's so fucking good. Sweet boy Kev or boy Kevin Clancy says, well what i'm not convinced they would have been able to develop

a cure anyway i i agree i mean they're saying like he would have found a cure blah blah blah seems pretty ambitious to be like yeah right away we would have got that overnight as long as we killed her what if they killed her and they couldn't find the cure then the rest of joel's life he's thinking about that and so but then i i wonder if this is a part of season two but what if like you know the whispers of the firefly camps around the country somehow are like, we had a savior potentially. Oh, I bet. And this fucking dope just took her. You know, it's like, hey, man, we all, no one wants kids to die, but our kids are dying as well, right?

It's like Sam would be alive right now if there was a cure. And, you know, the kid from the beginning of season one would have been alive if there was a cure and it's just not that it's it's not his place but fucking i guess ian did fucking make a good point he saved the world it was his world that was it's empire strikes back at this point i don't know who darth vader is but they're looking for the guy who blew up the death star yeah exactly you know and that's joel right now or it's taken too really is a much more niche reference than the empire strikes back but you know and taken liam neeson goes gets his daughter back and then in taken to they're like hey all those people you killed to get your daughter back the families of those

people want to kill you now yeah maybe a little bit of that in the last of us too by the way taken to not a good movie so i hope the last of us too is a little bit better than that and that's i'm i think i'm going to go into next season very scared. I'm going to be scared based on what everyone's telling me. I've heard nothing but great things. Like Game of Thrones, everyone's like, the books are great. Even House of the Dragon. Oh, if they mirror the books, they're going to be great.

This, I'm hearing, oh, Last of Us was great. Last of Us 2, eh, I got through it. You know, I had to see what happened. I'm like, Ooh, that, that doesn't make me feel very, very good.

I'm just seeing Matt Ryan says that people are going to riot. If they stick to the last of us to storyline, it's going to be more brutal than this season. Oh my God. Marlene should ask Ellie if she wants to do the surgery thing. I think Marlene was trying to reason with Joel because eventually he would have asked to see Ellie probably uh 20 years later definitely don't have the medical advancements needed probably right cure doesn't get rid of any

clickers still an ungodly amount of those things out there that could rip you apart great point Clem's prediction for season two you got a prediction I was two is mid that's tough to hear needed way more clickers be very scared of the last of us too god damn it my prediction pain i feel like it's gonna be like a i feel like it's gonna be a cold war between ellie and joel i feel like she like her bullshit radar is up and i don't he swore to her and he's gonna say baby girl i didn't you know what my prediction is my prediction is the the meme of the ninja turtles walking with splinter as babies and then season two is the ninja turtle or walking splinter and he's an old guy yeah yeah that's my prediction that's my whole prediction someone says oh i love this comment so much mute time yeah i have to figure out this closed captioning thing

by season two which they haven't even started filming yet. But this is this is a real problem here. So, fuck, it's going to get crazy, huh? The last of us. Season two opens with everyone in Tommy's town eating people. Well, a bit of a spoiler. I didn't mean to put that on the screen. Is that a thing that opens with it?

Well, if that's true, I don't know. Maybe I don't know if that's a prediction I'm sure Part one is universally loved Part two is super Decisive I assume Kenny means divisive Divisive

Yep Oh he corrects himself Divisive Yeah I could take Oh no they said it's not true It's not a spoiler Okay

Not a spoiler I'm just joking God damn I really Man I'm gonna have nightmares tonight Just about what's going to happen to Joel and Ellie. Yeah, didn't trust the fireflies in the flashback episode. People are saying, all right. No, that was that's the biggest point I took away here.

I agree with Marlene and Joel. Ellie probably would have signed up to do it if they had just asked, but they didn't ask. And I think we would have also been smart. Ellie would have signed up to do it. Like they said in the but they didn't ask. And I think we would have also been smart. I think Ellie would have signed up to do it. Like they said in the posting, it's her life's purpose or whatever. Yeah. And I like everyone in her life has disappeared and,

you know, died because of this fucking awful event. I think she would have like probably signed up for it. I think she also would have been like, so what is our percent here? How many balls on the ball scale? Do you think that this is going to work? Like five balls is, oh, yeah, everyone's going to be cured of this shit.

And one ball is like no fucking chance. So, yeah, I think Ellie would have done it. You agree, right? Yeah, I think she would have done it. But I'm glad that she didn't get that choice because I like that she's still alive and we're getting the last of a season two. Hell yeah. All right. Thank you to everyone for tuning in. We just an hour here thank you to our sponsors and we'll be back

with another pedro pascal apocalypse show later in the week with the mandalorian so if you're interested in pedro pascal apocalypse shows join us on that one as well what was the hashtag we decided not to trouble bubble one what was the second one we had uh joel wick joel wick i think joel wick is the one that you got to hit if you made it to the end. Thank you again for everyone that joined us all season. This was a lot of fun. And I'll update everyone on social media at Robbie Barstool when I start The Last of Us as a game. I'll try to stream it on Twitch and then maybe we'll cut it down into little compilations on YouTube.

Be like, oh, my sweet Robert, don't get hurt, Robbie. Watch out for that guy. I'll turn to the mama fox. Watch out for the guy behind the door, Rob. He's hiding from you.
