Kind of like watching your kid do a music recital where it's like...

You bring the tomatoes just in case they suck.

Hello everybody, welcome back to Savage Starlight.

We're the officially unofficial podcast for The Last of Us on HBO Max.

I'm your host, Aeron, and I've been looking in the sewers, the tunnels, the abandoned subway track station things, post-apocalypse Cincinnati for my co-host Jim.

Turns out he's been in Japan this whole time.

Jim Jones, welcome back to the podcast.

In the sewers of Japan, though.

So you were looking, you're kind of on the right track.

I hear they're high-speed sewers.

So at least there's that. There's that. Yeah. Good. So far ahead of us in terms of technology. Actually, I might have something to discuss about that on this week's lunch when I talk about my trip. So heads up. Toilets and high speed transfer. All of it. Look at Jim saying you thinking about canceling your Patreon because the last of us is over?

Oh, you want to hear about Jim's sewer subway experiences in Japan.

I want to hear because this was tragic timing.

You know, anyone that thinks about it knows that a person of modest means has to spend

a lot of time thinking and planning about a three-week trip to a foreign country and those

arrangements are made far in advance.

I'm pretty sure you had this blocked out even before Christmas of last year.

And then we found out that two of the biggest things, most anticipated things that we

had to look forward to in 2025 are hitting right in the middle of that trip and it was

and it sucked.

But we're glad you're back.

Everybody thought Talta was awesome.
