Greetings and citations. Welcome back to Sacred Seals, a PlayStation podcast. This is episode number 368. My name is Colin Worryardium.
I'm joined as always by my son Chris Ragon Chris. Wait, I don't know, like you the shirt golfing maybe or going to the golf club? Yeah, yeah, maybe. Maybe.
No, this is the end of a laundry cycle. And I've been putting it off a little bit. So I'm at the point where I'm on my clothes that I never wear. You know, do you have in suite laundry or do you have to go somewhere?
It's, I have to, so it's not in, it's not in the unit, but it's so close as to be, it might as well, like it's literally like a couple of feet away from my door. It's in your building. Yeah, yeah. That's good.
When I lived in San Francisco, we had a, I lived above, you know, or below that the Chinese guy Johnson for many years was like, talked about many times, and he had a, it was a normal house, like kind of, and he had a garage underneath with a little with laundry in it, like a washer and dryer. We weren't allowed to use it. So I had to go like bring my shit to the laundromat, which is so annoying. Yeah, that's hell.
I can hear it. Apparently, that's what we did when we first moved out here, but I have no memory of that. It must have been so traumatic that I just completely blocked it out. I was talking with my roommates from back then.
You're like, yeah, we didn't have a dryer. We didn't have a unit in there. I was like, it was a unit in the building. I was like, is that possible?
But then I was thinking, it's like, I don't think there was. Yeah. But I also feel like if I had to lug my, all of my clothes to the nearest laundromat, which was only two blocks away, but still like, I feel like if I had to do that, every week I would have probably killed myself. Yeah, it's awful.
I used to do, I used to just put everything in a rolling suitcase and, and like a huge one, and just to go to the laundromat and do I hated it, having like washer and dryers inside your own house is revolutionary. And that's why I wear the same five shirts over and over again. Because we do laundry so much that she just finds its way on the top of the pile over and over again. Who am I trying to impress, really?
Yeah. Certainly not Dustin Furman, executive producer. How are you doing, my friend? Good to see you.
Hello. I'm doing okay. No, no major complaints. Last night got a lot, another big rain here.
Yeah. So I go to check on the basement because, you know, we've had some different water issues, almost no problems. Great. Holly's, the walls, the mortars, she did.
Hold not fantastic. One issue, though. I look in the corner of the room. There is water dripping out of my electrical box.
Yes. Yes. Yes. So that was a little freaky, freaked me out, called my dad up, he came over, because I don't want to fuck with the electrical box.
No, no, no. So he take, he's looking at it and he has a little experience. I think he helped put in that box. So like we take the cover off and we realize, because I was like, how the fuck is there water getting in this thing?
It's actually coming down through the mains from the outside. Yeah, it's running away in. Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. So no problems, though. I mean, I don't have any power issues, put a box fan on there, gonna have to call an electrician. So I was looking forward to that.
No. So the house problems, they just keep coming. Yeah, man. I mean, one house is, yeah, it's, it's, I mean, like I said, last week, I even in newer houses, we were having a problem with the AC unit.
Did I go, did I go into the guy like dumping rusty water outside my house? Did I go into that somewhere? Maybe it was on the stream. Maybe I was on something.
Dude, I wanted to fucking kill this dude. Like he was a really nice guy. I didn't even report it to the company because he was like, I'm not trying anyone in trouble, but like he wet that, you know, wet drive back the fucking water out of the pan in my attic from the AC unit. And then just we have like concrete driveways and like concrete runners, never in the water.
This you were and you just dumped all of it and it's just rusty. It's like, it just seen the fuck out of the concrete and my neighbors concrete and my neighbors neighbors concrete as it was going trailing towards the sewer. It was just another excuse for me to use my power washer to be perfect on this with you. But can't get any, no one knows how to do anything anymore.
And if you have real serious problems, I wonder if your home insurance would actually cover it. Yeah, it's possible. I think that we opened up. There's a little bit of rest at the bottom.
It's not the first time the water was coming to the which is concerning. So I think if we just get it sealed up, we'll be fine. Right. Water's a fucking destructive element, dude.
It's like, it's like, you know, it's like insane to me. It's not an element. It's two elements. I mean, like an element, you know, like the earthly element.
Like an avatar. It's hydrogen and oxygen. Those are the elements. Just save it.
All right. I'm not in the fucking mood for it. I'm not in the mood for the chemistry, the periodic table, not in the mood for it. But the water finds its way.
Oh, it's incredibly destructive. And it freaks me out. Like I was saying with my when I got water from the AC unit, I was like, Oh, fuck. That's like the last thing you want to see where it doesn't belong.
And for me, it was around the smoke detector. So that was fun. I don't think there's any water here. Well, good luck to you.
Yeah. They'll probably raise your premium if you did that or whatever. But then you could just probably get new home insurance with some other company. Yeah.
I've never had to use it before, thankfully. Yeah. I mean, either. Thankfully, I actually, this is my fifth year in the house.
And so I actually got a thing saying like, because you haven't used it for five years, you now get like X discount. That's nice. Yeah. Now, Colin, when we join the call, you're looking, you know, and a little bit of frustration with the potential chemists that could be writing in that we don't know if they exist or not.
They got their fucking bunch of burners, you know, yeah, are you a little EP today? Yeah. Yeah. I'm sleepy.
Yeah. I mean, delivering packages. Oh my god. Oh, I got to deliver them parcels and puzzles.
Yeah. Deliver those parcels and build those roads and those trains and the monorails. The combat so good. We'll get to that training too.
But I actually wasn't up that late last night for me. I went to bed like three. But yeah, I am. I am tired.
I was the day before I got up at two in the afternoon, the day before that I got up at three. So yeah, I've been staying up. Really feeling good. You know, feeling good at night hanging out.
But yeah, I got up at normal hours today. Today is what they were recording as my birthday. That's right. And therefore, it's also Treble's birthday as well.
Treble turns four. Like it turns 32. 32? I don't know.
What's that? She slightly older than me. Yeah. Yeah.
It's just weird. Like I was I was 32 and I turned 32 in 2016. So I wrote a really long letter for everything. I was saying like, it'll be fun to see where you went up because I'm in like a totally different place right now than I was there to.
So yeah, we're just hanging out and, yeah, otherwise just chilling out. We've got a lot of rain here as well. Like an enormous amount of rain. Plants like it.
Everything's green and bursting and looking healthy. But I'm not really feeling it personally. But the dog days aren't here yet and they'll probably want to rain for like a month. So I'm enjoying it while I can.
While I can. While I can. While I can. So tired.
Yeah. All right. Is there anything else to say? I don't know.
I don't know if there's anything that's really, I don't know if there's anything that's really happened. Yeah. For me, person. I guess I saw Superman.
I saw Superman twice actually. Oh, twice. It's a few different people. Yeah.
I like it way more than I thought I would. I hope so. Yeah. Yeah.
And it's people who like, I want to see it. And I'll see it again. And it occurred to me when I was watching it where I was like, wow, I'm 31. And my entire lifetime up until this point, there hasn't been a Superman movie that I was like, Oh, that's fun.
That's a good, that's a good movie. Right. Which is crazy to me. Because that's like the, that's like the hero, you know what I mean?
Like it's crazy to me that 30 years went by without like a halfway decent movie for Superman. It's kind of wild that it took this long because I really couldn't stand it. Like I really couldn't stand. I don't know.
I just don't even care about Superman really, but like, I couldn't stand by the ceiling. Oh my god. So bleak for no reason. Yeah.
I saw there. You can buy tickets to Chris for Nolan's next movie a year in advance right now. A year away. I was like, I don't know if I want to be alive.
Why would I buy tickets to a movie a year from now? It is crazy. Like they showed, yeah, because before Superman, they showed a trailer for it. It was like the Odyssey with John Berthall, Tom Hollins in it, I think a bunch of other people in it.
But it's like a teaser trailer and it's like, Oh, yes, I'm down to see a Chris for Nolan, you know, rendition of the Odyssey. That sounds sick. And it's just like August 2026 or something. And I'm like, what are we doing?
Like this is like a video game pre-ordering. Yeah, that's ridiculous. Like a teaser trailer. It's like, Hey, we're working on this movie.
Come apply for a job here at Christopher Nolan Co. You're just like, yeah, that's not really how this works, man. Since I still haven't seen what was the last Dunkirk was the last one I even saw his so I think I'm too behind now. Yeah, I didn't see 10 it.
It sounds really cool. I heard it's like really heading in weird. I'd like to see it. But I think all the time I'm like, Oh, watch this and I'll do this.
And then I just never I just play video games. Basically. Yeah, there's no movies you're not like curious like naked gun doesn't carry. I am curious about it.
I would love to see it with my dad, especially because that's like that's a movie that he you know, that those three films and I know you're a huge fan of those two and airplane and all that kind of you know, Leslie gives us fucking iconic. Yeah, absolutely iconic. Like absolutely the funny when he showed up in was it scary movie when he shows up as the president? And I was like, and I saw it in theater and I was like, dude, it's so and he's like, everyone calmed and the aliens are like fucking everything up behind him.
Almost like Baghdad bag. I think it was actually making fun of Baghdad, Bob and the I rap war. That timing would have been what's that. He's so funny, dude.
Was that the nothing to see here? Or was it or am I thinking of a different? No, that's not that's still none. That's still not good.
I see here and everything's exploding. Oh, maybe that's the finger too. And what I was just going to do was put aliens like putting the finger in his mouth or whatever or something like yeah, yeah, and they pee out of their fingers. Yeah, it's it's I used to love going to the movies and just watch movies are great.
It's just I just I just kind of fell out of it. Yeah, it seems like it's gonna be and I think people have already seen it. If I were and yeah, we're saying like it's really good. Like it's very true.
And what I loved what I loved the response is always like it's not really inappropriate either. And that's kind of the same thing with with naked gun. Like there were some sexual things and whatever like the condom scenes and stuff like generally speaking it was just silly. And that's why I was able to watch it with my dad when I was 10.
And right. Yeah, me too. And it wasn't like a huge deal or whatever. But my dad was a huge fan of those films and he loves who was that Leslie?
Who's that? Oh, Lee, I was gonna say you and McGregor, I always put them together. I'm gonna go like why? He's a fan.
My dad loves film and stuff. So he I'm sure he'll be into it. But yeah, that does look funny. And there are other things I'm sure that I would love Oppenheimer.
I'm sure that I would love Tenant. I'm sure that I would love all these things. I just I don't know. I just I feel like I part of me feels like I have brain rot to such a degree that I can't do it anymore.
But actually like it's anti brain rot where I'm like really just focused in. I'm not trying to like watch TV or watch movies or anything like that. And we're just not even a part of my life. So yeah, whatever.
Did you guys see this thing that's going around recently of the Coldplay concert? Oh, yeah. I just saw it before I woke up and like I was like still like my eyes are like still half shot and I was like looking at it. I was like, I don't know what the hell's going on with this.
I tried this I prefer a good like minute. And I was like, I don't know what I'm saying. Basically, so good. It's at this Coldplay concert.
They're like highlighting couples together. And it shows us one couple and they freak out. And like the guy literally ducks down. Like there's a fucking blast going off like jumps to the ground.
Yeah. And people found out that it's a CEO of a company and like the human resources head or something like that of the same company. They're both married but not to each other. Here's my question.
I've never cheated on anyone. So I don't understand the mindset of a cheater. Yeah, I mean either. But if I was going to cheat, I don't think I'd be going to big public events.
But are they getting off on the idea of possibly getting caught? Of course. I think that's the only reason you would do it, right? It's dangerous, yeah.
I don't have it. I really don't. I've also never cheated on someone. I've been cheated on by multiple people.
But I wouldn't do that to someone. I don't think I'm built like that. Even if I were back in the day, I was like in the late end of a relationship and I was kind of interested in this other person. So I did what normal people did and I broke up with that person.
And then I started to pursue the other person because you have to have a little respect. That's like a really devastating thing to do with someone. It's fucked up. But the whole public thing, I like the idea that if they just didn't respond like that, no one would have ever thought twice about it.
I thought that. Yeah. But I understand why you would have smiled like that because you're doing something totally devious and fucked up. Got to take it easy.
I imagine losing it all at the Coldplay concert. Coldplay. Crazy. They're about to play the scientist.
Well, wild soundtrack getting your life destroyed. Oh, that's a good that's a interesting story. Let it be instructive to you if you're cheating out there, someone out there listening to this cheating on someone. Yes, no, that must be true.
No doubt. Probably a lot of you. You need to think twice about doing that to the person. Really devastating.
I was never more hurt than when I found those things out. Yeah. Even just like just break up with me and then go do it. You got to do an order of operations.
First because then you put another person in danger too is like STDs and you don't know what you're getting, you know, disgusting. Anyway, that was a great episode of Sacred Simple's PlayStation Podcast called Play Podcast. And he was all yellow. Coldplay podcast.
Yeah. 360 something episodes of a Coldplay podcast. I like that. I'm sorry.
Good. I think Coldplay has some good songs. I don't think they're great discography overall. No, some of that stuff sucks.
But yellow, that is a great song. Diggin's wife's really into a whole year's really into Coldplay and they went and saw them maybe on the store. I don't know. I like this song Clocks a lot.
I think that's a great song. Clocks is a great song. Yeah. I played on the drums all the time.
It's easy. It's very big. But it's it's a that's probably my favorite song of theirs. The lyrics are awesome.
That's two. Yeah. But yeah, they're a little annoying. They were on that.
They were bordering, in my opinion, in the cultural zeitgeist of being like a Nickelback to a lot of people and they kind of pulled out like they kind of got out of that. They got close to the event horizon and they're like, and yeah, they got real close because like they were for like a good minute there. They were kind of overexposed. Like I remember Clocks was using a lot of stuff.
I remember I would hear it in like, um, I don't know if it was commercials or what, but like I remember hearing that song interspersed between television shows that I was watching when I was a kid and being like, what the fuck was this everywhere? This is Clocks crap. I like Clocks. Once you stopped hearing it, it reminds me of the song.
I actually named this one of the titles secretly after the Jesus Jones songs right here right now, which was like everywhere in the 90s. You guys might be doing it right here right now. You know that song? Like that song's fucking, you know that song?
I know that song. I might. I don't know. Oh, like, well, I don't know.
I didn't. Yeah. Bring anything in my head. Yeah.
Well, that's pretty close. I think. But anyway, that song was everywhere. And then I hated it.
And then now I love it because like you don't hear it anywhere. And it's like, oh, this is a really great song. They just overexposed that song. Yeah.
Well, that was fun for a Coldplay episode of number 368 of the Coldplay podcast. Yeah. The Scientist at Coldplay podcast. This is the only song I really know.
I feel like I only really know like a handful of songs. It's all the early stuff of those two records. Those first records is all I know as well. Right.
I guess I have people of you that like, I think that was the one with all the controversy about being stolen from Joe Sestriani or something. Yes. Oh, right. Like the day I remember that was a big deal.
Oh, there's like a lawsuit over that wasn't there or something. Yeah. Like the chorus. Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And I remember like, I remember at the time listening to it, I was like, I guess.
But like I was like, it was so strange because like I think like Joe Sestriani might have been right, but also like it seems so trivial. Like, I don't know. I don't understand really, unless it's really blatant, like it's just like one for one rip like vanilla ice and what is it? Under pressure or whatever?
Oh, yeah. No, it's not it doesn't go done, done, done, done, done, and it goes done, done, done, done, done, done, it's completely different. Like, that was insane. By the way, I love that clip.
Yeah. That is the craziest clip I've ever fucking seen. For like a person explaining like, Oh, that's fine. But that one, I just kind of was like, I guess it's there.
But like, is this enough to sue? I mean, I guess I'm, I don't know. First, there's only so many notes. Like, I don't know.
Yeah. Well, no, I mean, there's like the chord progressions or there's like those guys that do that little thing where they play one song into the next song into the next song, you know, talking about it's all the same chords, but like their distance songs, it's only so much you can do. It's like, it's like the color wheel. You can't invent new colors anymore.
There's no new colors. It's just we know all the colors. What are you going to do? Yeah.
Yeah. And I appreciate, um, I appreciate a good sample. Yeah, I appreciate it. I appreciate it.
Dude, I found out recently like, what is it? It was like a Lincoln Park thing. I can't remember if it was like, I can't remember the name of the song. Oh, like, I know you're talking about for faint.
Yeah. And like they sampled like this old James Bond film like this. This one snippet of an old James Bond film and then they reversed it. Right.
It's just like, yo, that's pretty cool. That's it. That's crazy to even register that. It's something like, yo, this, uh, this James Bond lick here.
Uh, this orchestral lick. This will be great in reverse at the beginning of our Lincoln Park song. Right. And it works.
It's like, that's crazy. That's a level of, I can't even understand. Yeah. Someone said really a lot of the suing over music stuff.
I feel like it's gotten out of control. Like a few years ago, there was that court taste with Marvin Gaye and Ed Sheeran, which I don't like Ed Sheeran at all. Uh, as far as his music, but I respect the hell out of him because he like showed up to the court, explained how chord progressions work and was like, I didn't steal this song. This is just a chord progression.
And basically it was like, if I lose this case, I'm quitting. Like I'm just quitting music because you can't make music because you can't own a chord progression. And that's why he was in Game of Thrones. And then yeah, I was in Game of Thrones testing the waters.
That was a, I do remember it. Yeah. Cause he brought a guitar and everything, right? Didn't he?
Or no. I might think. Yeah. Yeah.
Well, Marvin Gaye is a state. They sue like everybody they can. And they win sometimes. They won against Blurred Lines.
Yeah. And that was also dubious to me. This is really, really a handful of songs that I've been like, God smacked by how obvious it was that, uh, that they just completely plagiarized it. And one of them is, um, do you guys remember Rob Thomas from a message funny?
Yeah. He did a, this song like a lonely no more and like 2004 and it was just very catchy song. I actually really like it. I haven't heard it in a long time, but there was a song called like me and my broken heart by like, I think Braxton or something.
And it's just straight up like that is exactly the same. Like it is really blatant. And I think to the point where like, I think they added him later as like a writer because it's like you couldn't like Rob Thomas was like retroactively added to it because it's just like, you can't not, but it's so blatant. It's crazy.
But that was the only time in my life that I've ever heard something where it's like, that's a straight up ripoff. That's what they do now. There was that Olivia Rodrigo song that suddenly Haley from Paramore, Haley Williams, is now co-writer of. Oh, yeah.
They got a letter from a lawyer that was like, um, I think that's the new thing now instead of suing. You just kind of like, you got to add me as a, you got to put me in the credits for this and I guess like a split of a, yeah, you get the money. A split of the royalties or something because it's like, maybe like qualifies as like, it borders on, I guess, cover, maybe territory. But even that one, that Olivia Rodrigo, and I remember like, listen, I'm a big parent.
I like Paramore a lot. Haley Williams, I think it's fucking amazing. I don't know if I hear it. I don't know if I hear the Paramore in that song.
I hear the inspiration kind of, but I don't know if I hear like enough, I don't know, I don't know about that. But god bless. Since a vanilla ice came up, I should enter into the into the record, although we probably entered it in some other way, maybe not on the show. The second, like album, like record I ever got like myself, cassette tape was vanilla ice to the extreme, his first record.
That was my second, my first tape that I ever got, the seminal 1990 MC Hammer record. Please Hammer don't hurt him. That was the first record you got? Yeah, that was the first, like, I think I was in, it was probably first grade.
My parents got me like a cheat boom box that had a cassette player in it because my brother was really in the music and everyone's in the music. I want to be in the music. And yeah, so they got me that and please Hammer don't hurt him as my first tape and then my second tape was the first analyze record. That's so funny.
Yeah. Do you remember Dustin your first, your first like CD or like your first, the first piece of music that you owned? It's really hard to say because my dad collected CDs, he had like over 1000 CDs. And we listen to the same music.
So I had no need to buy my own CDs for the most part. So I can't really think of that. There was, I'm sure a situation where I bought a CD that he didn't want, you know, like maybe I remember buying the third Lincoln Park album, the one's not very good, minutes to midnight, one summer. And it's about it.
Yeah. So yeah. Yeah. I was, I was kind of a similar boat with like my dad owned a lot of CDs and you own a lot of music, but I was like, that's his.
I can't touch them. So like, I remember very distinctly when I got my first like only say it was like a gift from like a cousin. It was a dare to be stupid. Oh hell yeah.
That's a great first CD, which is in retrospect a really good first CD to get because it's like, it just kind of like throws you into like a bunch of different 80s songs, which like I would either, which previously I would have had no reason to even remotely be interested in a checkout. So it's a weird first. That's the one with like a surgeon on it. Right.
I think so. Yeah. I don't remember the tracklist all too well, but I remember, I remember the vibe of it was like a surgeon. It's funny you bring up CDs, Chris.
I sent a text to Colin over this past weekend. Was that a family reunion? So it's actually really interesting family reunion because it was the, it was actual Furman reunion. And the context for that is my dad's dad.
So my grandpa died when he was seven. So we don't have a lot of strong connection to the Furman side. So I'm an interesting family reunion, but my cousin was there and he's 15, 16, but I see a Walkman CD player with plut with earbuds and there's a stack of about four CDs on there. But I noticed the top CD.
What was it Colin? It was Limpiska was a significant other and then which is like their, one of their sem, Limpiska has like three really seminal records. I think $3 bill is that the one that like got people really in them when you guys were little. But yeah, he had a, yeah, he had $3 and then he had chocolate starfish, which is actually my favorite Limpiska album, which is, which is a very unpopular take.
But I was saying the crazier thing was that he had Revolution Revolution Revolucio and from Iliño in that stack of CDs and I was like, what? I know I hear that. Dude, I'm like, I'm like a rap metal, like a Latino rap metal, new metal band. And they were fucking sick.
I love Iliño. That's what I said to you. I'm like, dude, the crazier, because they do their song, What Comes Around is fucking sick by Iliño. They're awesome.
They have like really great percussion, like drums and then percussion, like a Latin kind of feel to their songs. Yeah, they're right, man. Yeah, they're there. And so I was like, that's even, so I text you back on the lip stuff's cool.
But that's even fucking crazy that it is. Revolution Revolucio and by Iliño, that is like some obscure shit that he's got there. Yeah, that was so yeah, I wonder where he even got that stuff. I do the thing is it's like they're not it's not like he's using a CD player because they're like, can't afford a like he has a smartphone.
So the kids, you know, the Gen Z are into physical CDs. Again, they're interesting. Hey, because it's retro now. It's retro now.
So it's, it is interesting. He's in a bunch of music. My dad took him to to see a cable corpse about to go. Cool.
I don't know. Crazy sentence. My dad took this one. I can't imagine ever saying that in my life.
Yeah. My dad took someone to see cable corpse. Yeah. That's good stuff.
So yeah, I hope he continues to enjoy. I you can get the good thing about buying CDs is you can rip like mega high quality flax off of them, which is cool. Oh, yeah. That's like basically the only reason how to see anywhere in my life.
And you don't really realize like I listen to Spotify pretty much exclusively the last 15 years of my life. And I even have the high quality thing that you like put it's like that for your band or whatever. But like still, when you really hear like a record, especially or something, it's like damn dude missing so much texture. It's incredible that vinyl with grooves in it that represent minute changes in sound waves and is represented out of a speaker sounds perfect.
It's really weird. Like it's mega lo-fi. You see sometimes people make their own records. Have you ever seen that like where they'll take like a scream into a thing and like and carve it in and then put it on like a weird band and yeah, it's strange.
It just works. It makes no sense. It is crazy to me. And I understand that this is fundamentally logical, right?
But the idea of like pressing sound onto a wax disc and then somehow dragging a needle across it to get the sound out feels more like magic than an MP3 does. Yeah, like optical or a digital yet. I agree that someone had to come up with that. That's like cool.
Like it was Edison, right? I was in the gramophone. Yeah, which is psychotic to me. Like, yeah, oh man, I got an idea.
I'm going to press down onto this wax and then it's going to be preserved for all time. It's the same thing about like how I think about like first person to figure out like, I think we can get glue out of this horse. If we boil the horse alive, like a fucking lobster. It's saying head first.
The boiling horse is a they don't feel anything. That's a metal band. The boiling horse. And it's not like really, you know, you see like a metal like a festival and it's all the same text.
You have no fucking. Yeah, it says. Yeah, it's like graffiti kind of almost. You're like, is that?
All right. Well, we really should get to the show. I guess. Sacred Steps PlayStation podcast.
Welcome. Episode number 368. You can get us three days early in entry over on patreon.com slash last day media. That's how you support us.
We could not do without you without you over there. We will disappear into the ether. Whereas one of my history professors, professor Robinson used to say it Northeastern like so much smoke up the chimney. That's what he used to say.
He was very old. There's no way he's still alive because I feel like he was in his late 80s when I had him. He was awesome. So I would be awesome if he was alive.
He'd be like 110 though. Very old. He had these like spindly fingers and he would always talk like, you know, and just right. He would never almost never run on the board.
But then he would write like a random date. Yeah. You know, very flattering portrayal. You're painting this.
Yeah. Yeah. You know, he's fingered old geriatric pieces. He can't spell it.
Wasn't he? Was great. He was great professor Robinson was great. So your support on patreon, essential, it obviously your support is not only for sacred symbols, but for sacred symbols plus the and all the other shows in our network.
So defining Duke is the Xbox podcast and our network. Pouchy, I was the Nintendo podcast in our network. Some in sign is the gameplay and game experience podcast and our network and so on and so forth. You can also get RSS feeds and the ability to connect to patreon.
So you just get the podcast right into your podcast app of choice or Spotify. You get access to the discord, the ability to submit your inquiries. You'll hear them throughout the show. Just go to the threads and the news feed on patreon and submit their to the various shows and we go through them, comb through them.
But yeah, the early ad for stuff is what's most essential plus sacred symbols plus our weekly supplement to the show. We did a few interesting conversations recently, including an entire conversation on 14 potential PlayStation games at my great to Xbox. We did a full lengthy nearly three hour review discussion on Death Stranding Directors cut. I had Reselliate from millennia analytics on recently to talk about game numbers and data, which was really fun.
I'll be talking with Jaffy for this Saturday for more You Already Cross Jaffy. Just waiting here back for me on timing. By the way, as far as sacred symbols is plus this concern, I'd like to have Rick Hogan in the coming weeks. You'll notice conspicuously that the subnautica 2 news that has been going around is not anywhere in our show.
If people don't know, there's like a huge problem with what is an unknown world as the studio and Craftin, which is the South Green's publisher that owns them, a $250 million issue that lawsuits are being filed and all the rest of the very complex and fluid conversation. I'd like to have a conversation with Hogan when it settles down a little bit more. As far as I understand, the lawsuit that the Craft or the unknown worlds founders that were fired from the company have been filed and people are reading it now. We'll be able to talk about it in a few weeks.
I just feel like covering it now doesn't really make any sense because once all this stuff comes out, then it's going to take fucking forever for it to actually anything that happened and then sort of be in stasis and we can analyze it from there. Please be patient. For people that don't know, though, you can go look it up. Basically, what happens is the claim is that unknown world is claiming that Craftin is arbitrarily delaying subnautica 2 out of this calendar year to avoid paying a $250 million bonus to the studio, which is enormous, amount of money, like crazy level.
I believe it. But we'll see. We'll see what happens. So that's why, by the way, it's not in here.
So keep an eye out for that in the coming weeks. The Uncharted Wolf wrote in, said, Hey, Sacred True, Colin, I really enjoyed your crossover with the games could come to Xbox. Any chance we can get something similar with a punching up crew on what PlayStation games could come to Switch to? I know you said you think everything from the PS4 is feasible, but I'd be interested in knowing what games you think Sony would prioritize coming to Switch to.
Thanks for the great content each week. It's a great idea. I've made note. We'll do that in the coming weeks as well.
So keep an eye out for that on patreon.com slash last at media merch at last. media dot store t-shirts sweatshirts hat stickers, you can also buy a copy of Herbroxia on disc. If you'd like at age, wrote in and said, gentlemen, I trust this miss who finds you well. I just received my copy of the Herbroxia special edition and I have to say it's a wonderful little package.
The highlight of unboxing it was the new manual smell, which took me back to my childhood, sitting on a bus heading home from town, from uniboss heading home from town, opening a new game and reading the manual cover to cover while willing to get his ass in gear and get me home sooner. Anyway, I just want to say thank you. And if you can figure out a way of bottling the new manual smell into a room fragrance or cologne, you'll get another purchase from each year's spell. That is my favorite thing.
When I was, you know, we still got physical games, which was most of my time at IGN. I was famous at that for taking them and immediately sniffing the manual. Probably, it's probably the reason why I'm so retarded, actually. I probably lost five to 10% of my trade cells doing that.
But it does smell so good. That is that iconic. You'll never get it again, because everyone's so cheap and they won't be in structural panels anymore. You can't get it again.
Oh, you got to do is purchase a copy of a box. Biparachio, let's try. Two jar cell in that. Two share.
Two share. Does it have that smell? That's what you're saying in the letter. Yeah, that does.
That does. That's so crazy. I guess I did really science. I feel.
Yeah, well, I think it's just it's I guess it's just not being exposed or something. You're opening it for the first time expressing that ink. I guess I don't know what that's all about. I guess my feeling was that like so much has changed that like maybe even just like the chemical compounds in the ink is like a little bit different and like the types of paper that we it's kind of like how the new game informers like when I got them felt like they felt different from the old ones.
Like they didn't have the same feeling of going through them because the pages were different and I presume the ink was a little different. And so it's interesting to me that like even all these years later, even if you're just using just like standard stuff that it would retain that really highly specific thing that's nice. It's a nice truth. It is.
It's a truism. Simon wrote it and said hi SS crew. You guys have on multiple occasions talked about watching these Predator catcher videos. Got me thinking how would you react if one of the people got caught wearing cigarettes and was her last image.
I'll unplug my ethernet cord and listen to the live and sorry. I'm dyslexic. I can tell. I don't know.
We'll see. Yeah. We'll see. So I'm like there was the guy that worked for PlayStation at the PS five or PS four shirt.
It was just a PS five shirt. I want to say PS five. It's like dude, I'm sure Sony first of all, it's bad enough that one of their guys is on one of these videos. He's wearing the PS five shirt on top of it, man.
I discovered these videos. That is the seminal moment where I was like because that was going around and people identified who he was and he got fired or whatever. And then I was like, wait, because I was always a catcher predator fan. But I was like, wait, there are like renegade ops like this.
And that's how I fell down the rabbit hole. It's all because of that. That's literally because of that. One of them is too bad.
He was probably wealthy, but not wealthy enough to avoid being off scot-free as a pedophile. Yeah. I mean, he's a he's pedafiling it up or accused. I don't know what I actually have no idea what ended up happening.
I don't remember his name or anything about it really. He was one of the guys that was smart though. I was wondering he just shut the door and he never saw it. It was like a two second thing.
These guys go on for hours sometimes. I'm like, dude, what do you do? Like, don't you understand that you can't win? Everything you're doing is making it worse.
You're caught dead to rights. Just recede. You know, like these guys give so much free content. It's crazy.
It's funny. My favorite is that YouTuber who was like, no, I'm here to get a cupcake. I drove all this way for a cupcake. It's completely completely inconspicuous.
Dude, the Chris Hansen shit, that came up recently right on the show. The Chris Hansen, like the takedown stuff he does on YouTube now is called takedown Chris Hansen is so funny. Like, because it's so vulgar, it's like it's like to catch a predator of what it would have been like if they weren't on NBC. You said you'd lick her pussy.
That's literally what it's like. I'm like, this is fucking hysterical. His delivery, his dry affect is perfect. He's got a great delivery for everything that he says.
Even those old videos were like, he's not really saying it. He's saying everything, but he's obviously making go to the sensors or whatever, which is crazy that that would even apply to such a good scene. Like the idea that you would be watching to catch a predator, but you wouldn't understand what it is you were watching. Like, come on.
Yeah, yeah, certainly. Speak up only. Come on. DingDong wrote in and said, hello, my favorite secret crew just wanted to give a big shout out to Colin for the awesome three plus hour talk with the Xbox two guys.
No hate, no fame, boy nonsense. Just good honest gaming talk. Also really enjoyed your appearance on the broken Silicon podcast with Tom. I would love to hear your on iron lords again too.
Oh man, they hate me. I mean, iron lords like me, but they're audience-aging. I appreciate all that you do. And Colin, I can't remember if you ever got the platinum for a turnal, but I'm going to the collectables now.
And apparently they swan more consistently these days. I've heard of that. That that's happening. I will probably get back to return around when Sarah comes out.
So that's still on the, um, that's still on the table. Yeah. So thank you. I did some big guest appearances in the last week of people want to check those out.
I was on Xbox two, which is a big Xbox podcast, three hour conversation, really good. So go check those out. Should I do more guest appearances? I don't know.
