I'm your host for this week. I'm joined by Brian Altana.

Happy 7-11 to you. Happy 7-11 to you as well and Max Gerville. Welcome as well.

What's the 7-1-1, Jonathan? What's the classic catch? Is that like transit alerts? I don't know.

No, that's when there's like an emergency and you really need some snacks. You can call that number and people will bring them to you.

I feel like you're grossly undermining an actual service that is an emergency service. Like 4-1-1?

Yeah, like I would, is it like I think like 4-1-1 is information and 9-1-1 is the police and there's like 7-1-1 is hot.

I should call 4-1-1 and ask them what 7-1-1 does. You know, that's that would be a good thing.

Now that's that's a waste of their time over there.

It's true. Anyway, let's make everyone's time.

Like no one's ever made a phone call that wasted someone's time. We've got a lot of PlayStation news to discuss this week.

We have sales news for the PS5 hitting a major milestone in sales despite, you know, supply shortages that we'll talk a little bit about but continue to be the case and likely will for a while according to some within the tech industry.

We've got the PlayStation Plus games for August to talk about this week.

Some some news from from our old our old PlayStation pal Sean Layden and what he's up to these days.

And a little bit else and of course, like clockwork, the blue box conspiracy has come back to tease everyone with things that probably aren't real.

But I'm haunted because my light just went out so I'm going to make sure that battery is not flickering and awful.

But we've got a lot to talk about this week including some questions from you, the audience at home.

But it would be remiss of us to not start the show off content wise by talking about obviously the biggest thing happening within the gaming industry right now.

And that is the revelations of sort of systemic abuse and harassment and major issues against particularly women within Activision Blizzard.

This originated from a lawsuit from Activision Blizzard that popped up in the previous few days and since then we've gotten word from many employees currently there and otherwise of issues they've faced while working at Activision Blizzard.

And obviously this follows in I think, you know, a pattern of seeing more of these revelations come to light in the industry.

I think a repeated frame that we've seen online and I think something to keep in mind is that everything here is is awful and harrowing to hear this is not an isolated issue at Activision Blizzard.

This is something that we are unfortunately, unfortunately, no is something that exists throughout the industry and probably most of life just because of the way our society has been for so many decades, if not hundreds of years.
