Jaffe x Moriarty | Sacred Symbols+ Episode 93

[@CRIMS0NF0X]

1:18:30 "Do you laugh about the things that we used to do? Is it important to you? " Colin, that's some heavy shit. I feel it.

[@juarezbryan85]

I ligit almost cried when Colin said that. It just hit so hard. I would come home from work and listen to them every day

[@CRIMS0NF0X]

@@juarezbryan85 I felt it because I had a falling out with a friend in 2015. We haven't spoken at all and I still think about him. He was a groomsmen at my wedding, we met the first day of junior high. When you lose a friend but they're still around is a different kind of pain. I just wish I could talk to him sometimes, like Colin.

[@SaintGabriel11]

This is what I think about some people that bridges have been burned for and by

[@Nnamz]

Yup. That one hurt quite a bit. Something I'm actively trying to remember, though, is that only one side is talking about this. Colin has been refreshingly candid about all these, especially in this episode, so it's much easier to empathize with Colin over time because of this. But it's clear that Greg is also hurt a great deal (if you watched Colin's last episode at KF, you could argue that Greg was more hurt than anyone in that moment). He's just probably dealing with it by pushing it aside and focusing on other things, whereas Colin would rather deal with it directly. I've done both. Most broken friendships or breakups I've had have been mitigated by direct communication, but I had a particularly painful breakup 6 years ago where I simply had to cut that person out entirely and sever all communication attempts. That's simply what was healthy for me at the time, and that might be what's healthy for Greg. Everybody is different. I hope with time this will hurt Colin less.

[@marcomaluf]

@@CRIMS0NF0X I know it is not for me to say, but you should talk to him, If you still think about your friend, he must mean a lot to you, do your part to look for him, just like Colin reached to Greg about the vita t-shirts, if your friend does not respond positively, he is to blame...

[@Vayshen]

@@alonsoJ2002 That's coincidence. And even if it isn't, Tim does actually host/lead several shows so it could be a choice of formatting the order of frames. Don't get me wrong, assuming Colin's Tim stories are true (which I think they are), Tim's a dick, but no need to make mountains out of anthills. Remember that Tim back in 2015 was very young and very stupid. I doubt he'd say those things if he were his age now. He's said as much, like the Disney princess fuck topic they kicked things off with. The coarse things he said to Colin would be very in line with little Tim.

The whole "best friends" mantra over at KF rings so hollow because of what happened to Colin. Apparently, being a "best friend" grants you zero support and good faith. It's actually astounding to me that they maintain that whole thing after what happened to Colin. You're supposed to believe that some people you've never met are your best friends but their real life best friends that they lived with for several years gets tossed under the bus? Right.

A better point has never been made on this subject.

[@loganrunaways]

100%. I was a Greg fan since I was in high school (early beyond days). I literally grew up listening to colin and Greg, and I always thought I liked Greg the most. Then when they so unceremoniously threw Colin to the wolves I could never see him the same. A month or so ago I finally just removed all the kindafunny feeds from my podcast fetcher and I don’t miss it at all. Not only has their analysis become hollow, but everything they preach about acceptance no longer means anything.

[@jlindsa]

1:21:08 What Jaffe is saying here about Gregg is surrounded by versions of Greg, is EXACTLY what I had said some years ago AND Gregg has even acknowledged he gets the comment regularly. IMO, this is especially evident in the movies in review because there is so little difference in opinions and it hurts the final product.

[@carlosperez7646]

My man, I’m in the same position. Colin will say some things, especially on Twitter that I just profoundly disagree with, BUT that’s so fucking OK. When did we get to a point where we just disregard, trash, and belittle people we don’t even really know just because of a difference in opinion? Especially when he’s not even being THAT CONTROVERSIAL. We all know there are people out there saying truly awful shit. Colin doesn’t even qualify. I’ve always felt Colin was a genuine dude, and all those personal attacks against him felt hollow to me, lacking any sort of substance. It all felt reactionary. It makes me so angry because it feels like it can happen to any one of us. Even a misunderstanding. Even just a brain fart can ruin relationships. It feels like there is no room to just have a genuine conversation about something serious, even if people disagree. I feel like I’m at a point almost where I just want to exclusively talk to people I don’t agree with, and you know what?arguing is ok. We got to stop being scared of having passionate conversations with people.

[@kwisatzhaderach9087]

The worst part about this is you can tell that after living with his best friend for a decade, he can't tell the story you know he wants to, just clear the air, but it will incite drama. I feel so much for him you can tell that he made mistakes and he admits that here. He lost his best friend who he now thinks wasn't really his best friend after all. Just take a look at the KF subreddit, they say when Colin talks about this it sends a wave of hate to KF so don't do it, he wouldn't want it. But there is reason people keep asking about this situation. The worst thing KF could have done is stay quiet, they should have just put their cards on the table and let the chaos die down. Now they will get questions about this in perpetuity. I don't need the intimate details of these men’s lives but if you are Greg how can you let this destroy a friendship that lasted a decade, a man who helped you through cancer! Fuck business, you get very few people in this world that are ride or die, I don't know their relationship, but I bet Colin made mistakes and was partly to blame but you work through that for a man who would "Go to the mat" for you. At the end of the day the way he sees it was, colin jeopardised their livelihood, but honestly, they did that to themselves when they left their partner to the wolves. people saw it as morally incredulous and couldn't take them seriously. It’s not colins fault the business took a hit after his departure, just like it’s not their fault colin was constantly out-voted and wanted to take the business a different direction.

[@WilliamDuh]

It’s hard to measure the value of someone’s intellect. Tim knew and still knows he can’t match up and it was actually him that didn’t belong and he coped with it by throwing Colin under the bus at any chance he could. Tim was a part of Kinda funny because he gained a lot from it while Colin was there through pure convenience and inside knew he didn’t need them which he has effortlessly proven with last stand media.

[@MrGn1212]

That was some deep shit from Colin. The pain of the betrayal is already deep enough but no willingness from the other side to reconcile that relationship is just heartbreaking. I really hope somebody reminds Greg that life is too short to let such relationship go to waste.

[@ethroptur5266]

David makes a very strong point about how beloved Colin is. Colin is one of the few gaming personalities I listen to. His wit, sincerity and humour make him one of the few people in gaming media today who legitimately loves what he does.

[@danmann861]

I get where Colin is coming from. He wants to know if it meant anything. It's understandable. You build a friendship with someone for that long and you would think there is some form of loyalty there. You want to know if it meant anything to them or not. But to me as a third party, it sounds like it doesn't matter to Greg at all. It sounds like Greg checked out when Colin stopped being useful to him. And from my experience, that type of person ain't worth your time.

[@mrshmuga9]

His point about them being progressive and still doing well… I think he forgets to mention why they’re different. They don’t really bring up politics. Sometimes it’ll peer through (mostly from Ian), but unless it’s inseparable from the topic it really doesn’t come up much. Not even as jokes/jabs. They stick to their content and do it well. MinnMax is pretty similar in that case (although they’re new) and they do great work and get interviews most other people (even at big sites) aren’t getting. I find it disheartening when some bigger outlet like GameXplain covers interesting bits from their interviews and gets more attention than the original source. They can let everyone else do their work and profit off of it.

Colin deserves all the love we adoring fans give him. What a great guy. What a great interview! Amazing how Jaffe (as a guest) really got him to open up. Awesome stuff! Huge thanks to both Colin and David.

So glad to get some insight into what went on at KF. Always wondered why things went the way they did and how you were unfairly shut out. Thanks for the honesty Col.

Colin, I know it must have been uncomfortable, but I just want to let you know that this was a necessary closure for me, and I thank you for that. I think I speak for a lot of people who just needed a few questions, an acknowledgment, a simple conversation, about what happened at Kinda Funny. What happened still sucks, and won't stop sucking in the future. You guys were years of our lives. But this was all that was needed personally for me to make peace, at least partially. I can finally put it all to rest. Things happen.

Colin definitely won the war. Last Stand Media blows Kinda Funny out of the water.

[@xwers1234]

Their numbers are not good compared to their subscription numbers. Last stand media is doing just as good numbers and making much better content

[@Thunders6381]

Uuhh that's debatable.

[@EpicFurious]

Eh. I feel like they serve different purposes. For example, I much prefer Last Stand's take on gaming. However, I enjoy Kinda Funny for their fun takes on films.

@@Thunders6381 no it isn't

[@nicksharma8238]

@@EpicFurious I agree on this. Obviously, I like Colin as a person more, but that doesn't mean I don't watch KF for its happy-go-lucky (and yes, superficial shallow content (often); sometimes shallow is cool). Last Stand Media is in-depth content that you have to digest, not as accessible tbh, but definitely richer in depth and meaning. I like both. What they did to him tho, shitty.

[@BenJybud]

Thoroughly enjoyed this. Signed up a soon as Colin mentioned he was having Jaffe on and wasn't disappointed, glad I'm rid of my low-key freeload guilt! 🤣

This was the best part of my morning. Great, great great interview. Your dynamic was amazing. I’m sending my money to you for this now

[@mecharobots]

This podcast was fucking outstanding

[@RetiredGamers]

Wow great conversation! Thank you for inviting Jaffe. You both are my favorite people to listen to and I’m glad to be new to Sacred Symbols+. I’ve listened for years and am finally able to contribute! Thank you!

[@MyAce92]

I started my video game podcast journey with Game Scoop!. After listening to a lot of their recent stuff I found Kinda Funny and liked it better so I decided to go back to their beginning and discovered Colin. After listening to all of the episodes with Colin I looked up why he left and instantly stopped watching/listening and found Colin's channel and podcast and have liked and followed ever since. Colin made that show and knew more than any of them. They did him dirty and Colin deserves everything he has earned and then some

[@Gamer4Life1007]

Welcome brother!

[@adamgh_8098]

Love that you finally felt able to talk about some of this. I fully get that you don't want any hate going in any direction but I just want to say I appreciate you talking about it. I followed you from IGN to KF and to where you are now and I'm stoked that it's going so well for you. Keep up the good work :)

[@KillerESA]

Been listening to Colin for over 10 years since the beyond days. Thank you for this and thank you for your honesty. It means the world to us longtime fans and we’ll always have your back

[@ButtholioTheGreat]

One of my all time favorite interviews, thanks guy

[@VicVergalito]

This was so good, thank you for making it free for all, Colin!
