This is the best Colin interview yet. You asked all of the tough questions we were all curious about. This is awesome!
This was the prepared version of Jaffe interviewing Colin. That was such a great episode and Jaffe really dig it out of Colin and opened him to these public conversations about KF.
This here is fantastic as well. It's my first time watching the show and I'll certainly be back. His research really impressed me.
The Greg-Colin chemistry was truly special. It’s such a shame that the relationship deteriorated to this point.
This is 100% due in part to Greg. Colin has stated on Sacred Symbols that he has reached out to him numerous times just to catch up with no intention of talking shop and Greg completely ignores him. The whole situation with the Twitter joke was completely fucking stupid and overblown even back then and it is still stupid to think about now. Bunch of psychos getting worked up over nothing and Greg and Tim are part of that nonsense. Still unbelievable what Greg and Tim allowed to happen to Colin, fuck both of them as far as I am concerned. Oh well, Colin is murdering with Last Stand Media anyways and is in a much better place so it all worked out in the end and he now knows where the true loyalties lie.
They were shaq and Kobe. Hopefully they will reunite. They probably got another 10-20 years talkin games
They were a great duo man but I just don't see Greg doing it. Colin really stepped into the role of front man and is doing better than ever. KF on the other hand has become something I can't even watch anymore.
@@gregoryjoslin3173 I still watch kinda funny. I remember a few years ago I realized they’ve gone a long time without mentioning Colin. Thought it was super weird and rude to the fans not to talk about him ever or have him back on
one thing I wondered considering Greg got married a few months after their friendship ended, is it possible Greg's wife hated Colin and Greg chose her over him?
I’ve watched alot of Colin interviews and this has to be the best one.
REALLY glad Colin came on. Hope to have him again! If you're new we hope you subscribe and hang out!
Edit - lots of new folks coming in and checking out this interview! Thanks! Leave a comment and let me know who else you'd like to see interviewed.
I’d love to hear Tim respond to this.
My first time watching the show and you did an amazing job on your research. Fantastic job interviewing as well. You weren't afraid to rant or goof and used those moments to open the guest up to great questions. Great work dude I'll subscribe lol
I was like why does this guy look so familiar and it's Stuttering Craig from Screw Attack! I've subscribed and will continue to follow. Thank you!
interview Greg and ask what he thinks of Colin's comments
Here from Colin's community. Blown away by the production behind that opening. Wow!
Greg showed his true colors that day, he wanted to be a part of the club no matter the cost. Colin lost his job, but Greg sold his soul.
True...and for what?, a limping company that hasn't grown an inch since, so pointless.
@@Donbro I disagree with regard to Greg’s growth. He is now a successful host within WWE and that is MASSIVE. The company as a whole may not have exploded (yet) but Greg himself is making big moves.
Big deal, a host on WWE... lmao 😂 fits his style because they aren't much on morals either from what alot of people say, and still it just shows he really doesn't care about his true friends. I am waiting for the day something goes down and Tim and the other guys aren't there for Greg and he feels exactly how Colin felt, gonna laugh my ass off cause he just follows the sheep now lol
That day was when I switched sides. I'd been a bigger fan of Greg from when they were on Podcast Beyond and Colin was the one I liked least. After the joke, I really went off Greg for throwing his friend under the bus and I came around to Colin. Since then I've seen Colin reaching out and trying to put it behind them and Greg acting like a petulant child
IGN / KindaFunny with Colin and Greg was peak RUclips (gaming coverage) both different characters but worked perfectly together. Upset with how Greg dealt with it and don’t get me started on Tim
Tim is just so disingenuous it's disgusting tbh
Nick is only reason I will still watch some of the old stuff like party mode
For as long as Tim is there I will never watch any of their stuff. Never liked him, but after learning what he did back then...man, he just sucks.
Nick always seemed cool but I didn't like the rest. Especially Tim but even Greg seems fake af and has a massive ego
Tim was why I found it hard to get into a lot of Kinda Funny stuff. He was just so immature and had nothing of substance to add. Colin used to buy least favourite person on Podcast Beyond but I loved him and Greg together and especially with Ryan Clements. But after the joke incident, I found myself liking Colin more and disliking the way Greg handled it
Totalbiscuit's "WTF Is?" videos were peak RUclips gaming coverage. Loved those and how he held Devs to task. RIP TB.
Have always wanted to hear Colin’s more in depth perspective on the KF situation. Fantastic interview!
It was obvious that it was complete BS. No one believes that they mutually parted ways.
Colin is probably one of my favorite media people of all time. So cool to see an in-depth podcast on me
I really like Colin... and I have to share something here !!! the day Kinda Funny inaugurated the new studio and were playing images of how the project started, I asked in the chat " Where is Colin ? "... to this day, I am banned in the Twitch chat of the Kinda Funny channel
I wasn't rude to anyone, I didn't say anything bad... they just banned me.
The KF chat is a complete joke. They banned me for something extremely similar😂
They legit banned you? 😂 I can’t say I’m surprised. KindaFunny has been very egotistical (primarily Tim and Greg) for A LONG TIME, but especially since the new studio opened.
KF without Colin just felt empty and pointless. I lasted like a month after he left before I dropped their product entirely
@@coreypowless504 I stopped watching as soon as the ostracized him for a joke. A very inane joke...
I’m a leftist but I’ve always liked Colin. He’s a really smart guy. People’s politics shouldn’t matter the way it does today. I like having all kinds of voices. Great interview
Wow, Tim always rubbed me the wrong way, but I could never put my finger on why. This is very illuminating.
Hearing that Tim was shitting on Colin from the beginning is not surprising at all. I tried to keep watching KF after Colin left, but Tim made me leave with his pretentious and childish bs.
KF is honestly very challenging to watch nowadays. It's lost its uniqueness, and seems so...what's the word...superficial and shallow. Fast food ish. And that's kinda sad. So many dope personalities there. Nick, Kevin, Andy, Greg, and honestly, Tim has changed in some ways. But Colin will always be my fave, and one of my favorite media people. Last stand is amazing, especially constellation podcast. Highly recommend it.
I stopped paying attention to KF when they got super preachy and narcissistic about issues they haven't the slightest bit of knowledge on. And I'm not even talking about the "if you support Trump then leave" comments. I found them to be petty, but at that time everyone was in a crazed state. What got me was their ignorance on Israel and Palestine while standing on a soapbox. At that moment I thought to myself, why am I even listening to video game personalities give their "hot takes" on an incredibly nuanced subject in geopolitics? Nevermind the fact that their "thoughts" were nothing more than a parroting of left-wing talking points. Not a single original thought or idea. At that point, I said peace out.
I was a big KF guy, but after the “break up” and how they reacted to Colin, the whole “best friend” thing felt more and more disingenuous everytime they said it, so I had to dip.
LSMs content definitely speaks to me much more
"People were there to see Greg and I" (26:16). Yes, 100 % true. Nick is fine, but Tim - he was the Yoko Ono of Kinda Funny. Can anyone say a single thing he has brought to the video game world?
Nowadays Kinda Funny is "IGN Light". I like the more authentic path that LSM took.
Agreed. Tim's expertise is limited to Fast & Furious films, which explains a lot really.
Yeah, Tim is as vanilla as it comes. Nick is great, but Tim is so bland in comparison to the other three.
Greg and colin really were the burt and ernie of gaming media. It's an unmatched dynamic that will probably never come back.
colin is a real one for doing this, great show man, subscribed
Welcome!
Okay, now this is epic. Both of these guys are pillars of the gaming industry, for many years, and to get this crossover is exquisite *chef's kiss*. Awesome work.
Facts
The fact Greg chose Tim over Colin speaks volumes. To value his opinion over someone that seemed to generally cared for you and worked with you closely for years over basically Grima from lord of the rings...shits wild. LSM the goat. And Craig is great for this interview
HA I was just about to posts a comment comparing Tim to Grima and saw your comment first...very apt comparison, especially they way Colin portrays Tim in this. Tim rode Greg and Colin's coat tails, and it seems like he was trying to poison their relationship from the beginning so he could take Colin's place. The nerve of Tim to ask Colin to take a pay cut, or contribute the money from his side projects to Kinda Funny. That would be like some tour replacement drummer for Led Zepplin trying to tell Jimmy Page to take a pay cut because he wasn't as visible as Robert Plant.
great chat, thank you so much for digging in with Colin - asked questions we haven't heard answers to before, loved the entire chat.
Amazing work on this interview Craig. I really hope you guys will have Colin on again on a regular episode
I always knew Tim was wack. This interview confirmed it. Smh.
Tims a hack
@@bikiminhas2315 Straight up
The "take a pay cut" nugget is WILDLY slimy
Him and KF are trash
I mean I stopped following kinda funny within 6 months of Colin's departure. He has my patreon money now in 2023 and they don't. I'm a hard lefty syndicalist. It's about good content....not politics. Colin has more class consciousness than anyone at kinda funny anyway lol. 😮
Was on the fence with Colin back in the DToid days. After seeing this episode, I change my mind. This episode pretty much sold me on Colin being a solid guy.
Colin is a super dope guy
No one cares what you think
I was the same back in the Podcast Beyond/Kinda Funny days and only really liked him together with Greg. The fallout of the joke and everything that happened after is what made me come around to him and go off Greg
I feel like i am one of the few people who still supports both Colin and Kinda Funny. I hope Greg and Colin can patch things up one day. I give Colin credit for reaching out and trying to make amends.
Weird to still support a bunch of backstabbing shills
Yeah i feel like its rare these days to have someone who is still a fan of both. Hope they reconcile one day, sound like Colin has tried his part.
I can't support Greg and anything he does. Just two faced what he did to his supposed "best friend". It's fucked up what they did to Colin
Crazy we got this interview all these years later. Great interview! Would love Greg and Colin to be friends again. Like Colin said, life's to short...
I love that he said he's always willing to bury the hatchet... I just really hope that Greg can let the past go because ya'll both are grown and it's old news at this point...
Greg would lose his job and be ostracized. He's too much of a coward. If it's going to happen, it would be when it's safe to be friends with people who have different opinions.
In old videos I felt like there were times you could look at Tim and you could see the disdain in his eyes for Colin. Sad...
This was a fantastic interview, Craig. This is my first time coming over to your channel as a longtime LSM fan. I hope to see you on some LSM content in the future because I think you two have great chemistry.
Keep it up!
Appreciate that. Would love to appear on some LSM podcasts sometimes. They do great work!
@@SideScrollersPodcastamazing episode. As a LSM fan, you'd fit great there, seeing your chemistry here.
I really love what you’ve been doing with season two so far. Great work Craig.
amazing job gentlemen! love to see Colin smiling so much it warms my heart clearly he's in a happier place and im loving all of it!
Been a fan of both of you guys for over a decade. This was a great conversation
Tim does seem like that guy in the friend group that is jealous and is always trying to cause drama lol
I’ve been waiting for a Colin interview like this for a long time, this was really well done - great questions!
I was very excited to listen to this with two of my fav gents in the industry, and it didn’t disappoint 👏 great job guys. I love how genuine and honest you both are
Been a fan of Colin since Kinda Funny. Much love for this interview. Hope to see you two together in the future and maybe on LSM Constellation podcast.
Awesome chat, listening to Colin speak about anything is always calming.
Truly, I just love hearing him talk tbh lol
Glad to see this happen! Funny enough I watch both LSM and Side Scrollers and never had the thought "hey they should collab on something" lol. So this was a fortunate treat
Kinda Funny legitimately did not care about Colin at the end and were completely willing to let his career die in order to save their own ass. And still, Colin is willing to move on and make amends with Greg.
I feel like Greg is so upset because he's jealous of Colin's success after he left and Kinda Funny's growth has stagnated and their numbers are gradually decreasing.
I'm only talking about there subscriptions
They've unfortunately gone up slow af but they r going up
This was a fantastic conversation between you both. Lots of ground covered and insight from each of you. A lot of the things you mentioned I saw unfold in real time, so it’s good to get additional perspective on what went down. Kudos!
Subbed. Fantastic interview. I’ve been following Colin for over a decade and this is the first time I’ve seen these questions tackled so fairly and directly.
Fantastic episode! The crossover I wanted since the beginning
Glad to find a common sense gaming channel, I have watched Colin since podcast beyond, I respect him a lot
Welcome!
The fact that Colin feels bad about leaving KF speaks volumes about him as a person. That whole “break up” revealed A LOT about everyone involved.
No bullshit... When collin left, I unsubbed kndafunny and haven't looked back since. I thought it was poorly handled and just disgusting. That was my opinion at the time
I got to meet Colin in SF during thr IGN days. It was awesome he seemed kinda standoffish but was nice. This was a great interview, his work has been great for a long time!
Great interview. Came here for Colin and subbed halfway through!
Awesome, thank you!
34:14 Its wild you clipped this bit out and it got me to watch the whole thing you sneaky bastard 😅
Also amazing Colin brought up the eyes almost immediately; when I watched the clip I thought you had a filter on at first.
Just made it past the bit I already watched, good shit; happy to see what other content y'all have.
Truely a great interview! As an LSM fan this is the first i have seen of your channel so will have to check out more!
34:16 Welp, there’s the tea being spilled confirming what everyone always thought. 😂
Colin's point about consistency leading to growth is spot on. Great point!
Colin and Craig is the closest we're ever gonna get to Colin and Greg :')
BEYOND excited for this chat 🤓
Fantastic interview, bringing up the video of Greg talking bullshit was great.
Colin is the best!!!
Tim is really Bold lol. Can’t believe he ask him to take a pay cut. Colin should’ve stood his ground and remembered who he is. Greg and Colin best duo in gaming.
This is one of the best episodes so far in my opinion.
Great to see Colin interviewed on the show. I listened to BEYOND! back in the day and followed Kinda Funny for a while until they lost their minds like many in America media have done. Would love to see a stream with Craig and Colin in a battle between old school Screw Attack videos vs old school IGN videos or maybe one where you talk about your favourite classic videogames.
Hey that’s the guy that wrote the gameFAQ on The Legend of Zelda (NES)! What’s he been doing since then?
He has in fact mentioned those FAQs before and he's been doing muthafuckin Last Stand Media hooooweeee check em out!
As someone whose native tongue is not English, I learn a lot from Colin's diction and how he expresses himself
I love how colin bashed 90 minute interviews then remembered he was scheduled for an hour long show and immediately had to pull back lol. The episode turned out to be 90 minutes 😂. The comedy gods at work.
Finally, someone asking the questions we’ve all been wanting to hear answers to. Good shit
Amazing interview!!
10/10 interview, man. Asking the right questions.
I missed this man, gaming people do the best off the cuff conversations. Great podcast!
Great interview Craig! This is my first time watching your channel and you have a new subscription here. Great stuff! Look forward to watching more of your channel in the future!
Awesome, thank you!
Greg is just a showman at heart. As in, being a part of WWE because that makes total sense lol. It's obvious IMO that Colin is the sauce when you look at his track record when it comes to creating PlayStation podcast etc.
Always knew there was something “kinda funny” about Tim, like a jealous side chick just wedged himself in between a relationship.
Hahaha bro 100% … he always wanted to be the #2! And now is! And runs a lot of the stuff
Season 2 has been fire so far. Great interview. 🎉
Believe it or not it was actually Colin that got me into watching Joe Rogan and it’s mind blowing how much stuff you can learn watching his podcast.
Same here man!
Funny enough I have the same experience. Ive followed Colin for years and 2016 leading into what happened between him and KF is what got me into Dave Rubin, Rogan, and then full scale into current events and todays political landscape.
Also this was a fantastic interview, I am so happy I found you!
correction: it was Twin Breaker that Greg talked about, not Habroxia 2.
Idk if this was ever brought up, but I remember catching on KF when Greg talked about Habroxia 2 when talking about what they were playing. If I remember correctly, he said that Colin sent him a code for the game, and Greg talked in a positive way about the game, and that it was def a Colin-ass game or something like that. I believe he went to Platinum it. I'm just really curious if Colin knew about that snippet. I'm sure someone has shared it with him at some point tho.
Excellent interview. Love Colin!
Have missed hearing from Colin. Know about his shows but, been off gaming pods for a while now and jump into an odd thing that grabs my attention. Glad he's doing well.
I recommend checking out his show called Constellation. That’s a podcast where Colin, his brother, and 2 random guests discuss four random topics. It’s similar to the GameOverGreggy show that way.
Incredible interview!
Saw this was an interview with Colin, was my favourite member of KF, love this content. You guys got a new sub from me today! Great interview!
Welcome! Looking forward to seeing you in the comments and live chat!
I remember people were convinced Neil Druckman was going to join Colin for an episode. Always saod Sony wouldnt let it happen. But Colins right, what would Sony really do? Fire him? Microsoft would throw a ton of money at him in a heart beat.
He wants to make movies and tv shows always has. More likely he would try and sneak into a writer's room at Warner/Discovery then go somewhere else.
Is your podcast available on itunes?
Really glad Colin won the breakup, just looked at the Patreon numbers for both companies and damn Kinda funny doesn’t even have half the numbers or cash flow.
This was awesome 👍
So much respect for the way Colin has handled his attempts at keeping comms and relationship w Greg. God bless u Colin. King In The North!!!
Great interview!
Tim always seemed like a diva and control freak. Honestly I’m not surprised.
An excellent podcast. This episode answered many of my questions about the kinda funny fall out.
Glad we could do that. Hope you stick around for more
Love Colin and this episode.
Fantastic podcast
Authenticity is powerful. LSM has it. KFG just feels commercial and artificial...just to be part of the "in crowd".
I need a Craig/Colin sports podcast!
It’s extremely refreshing to see all of the positive comments towards Colin after all the BS nonsense he was put through after the Twitter joke/Kinda Funny nonsense. There are few things more satisfying in life then when people finally come around to the truth and realize that Colin is in fact, not a monster or a terrible person and that the whole situation with the Twitter joke was a complete overreaction from a very looney toon vocal minority. I am sorry I am not sorry but I am calling it how it is. Unbelievable that nonsense actually really happened and even more insane is how Greg and Tim let Colin go down in flames without any defense. Seriously disgusting but this interview and the reaction to it is so excellent. Cheers.
i do not like some of the things colin touches on politically, but i do appreciate his thoughtfulness and personality. the dynamic of colin and greg was legendary in games media. colin is clearly very strong on his own, and im glad to see/hear it. Thank you for the interview and discussion.
Great interview hope to see the both of you do some more content together soon
Whoahh, didnt realize Sidescrollers was back. Will definitely be checking more out.
Welcome to the common sense side of video games
I dont know if youll read this BUT theres a comedy podcast called Biggest Problem in the Universe. They had Adam Sessler on and they were talking about how overblown gamergate was and this was a couple months ago.
I only bring it up bc the Adam Sessler talking point. Maybe hes changed and has less of an identity on picking a side.. idk but i was surprised to hear him have those takes.
Sick interview. Colin has a voice i can listen to for hours.
Colin is right, it should have been just him and Greg, maybe Andrew Goldfarb, but nobody watched or listened for the other guys.
People felt a connection to those two, it broke my heart when Greg turned his back on Colin so much so that to this day I still stay away from anything Greg does, I honestly have no idea what he does or how he is doing. So in that sense for me when Colin left Kinda Funny he killed it.
I met them in person together before all the "peace and quiet", it was an a amazing experience. Still makes me sad, so I'm glad Colin is able to keep on doing things his way.
Sometimes standing up for what you believe in hurts, I've seen him cry on so many different occasions, but always sticking to his guns, no matter what. Colin will forever be an inspiration.
Not that big of a sportsball fan, but it was really interesting for colin to being the turn-based rpg comparison. The sportsball talk was also very refreshing for a podcast mostly about video games. Great interview!
This was an amazing podcast. God damn. I was hypnotized the whole time
I would have loved Colins opinion on the (Was) "Prepare to Try" Boys at IGN.
They were the best thing about IGN and really felt like genuine Friends who were outspoken and down to Earth.
Colin is very Intelligent, Modern, and just Real awesome Video
It’s so weird to see this as I go to KF daily just for commentary on game news as they are on all the time. But I look forward to the SS pod every week for a deep dive and a regular gamer perspective on things. You wonder if they just could of found a way to do both that they wouldn’t be absolutely massive abd defining in covering daily news and deep dives and opinions into the industry on a weekly basis
This was great
From an LSM card carrying fanboy.. mad respect to side scrollers. I’m subscribing to you. Is there no access to side scrollers on Apple Podcasts? I’ll subscribe since I have YT premium. Jw. Got my respect
Two greats in the gaming space!!
It’s very difficult when friendships fall apart and it’s good that more people, men in particular, are talking about it. I’ve been on the receiving end, much like Colin. I don’t necessarily blame those people as I was no picnic at the time, but it’s very painful nevertheless.
