  • Sony PS6: The Disc Killer We All Saw Coming (PC Gamers Shrug)

    Sony PS6: The Disc Killer We All Saw Coming (PC Gamers Shrug)
    Jul 5 2026
    Sony just killed physical game discs - and the internet is furious. This week on Hat Chat, we dig into Sony's decision to stop producing disc copies of video games from 2028, and why gamers are losing their minds about it. We break down what this actually means for you: full Sony control over your games, the death of the second-hand market (RIP trade-ins), and the very real fear that game prices are about to spiral with zero competition to keep them in check. We also compare it to Steam, which has been discless for years - and why that same move barely registered for PC gamers. Turns out console players are just catching up to something PC has already made peace with. Then we lighten the mood with some GTA 6 talk - what new features might be coming. And we close things out with the story of Mexican fans yelling obscenities outside Ecuador's team hotel... and why you'd never catch us doing that. Probably.

  • Help! I'm a Baby (But I Have a Mortgage)

    Help! I'm a Baby (But I Have a Mortgage)
    Jun 28 2026
    We're back, we're sweaty, and one of us might be a baby. We open this week with a pressing issue — AI will not stop using em dashes and we need to talk about it. From there we're sweating through the UK heatwave, losing our minds over the GTA 6 no-disc price tag situation, and piling onto the Steam Machine comeback which arrived with big promises and bigger price tags. We ask: what if you woke up tomorrow with your full adult brain but the body of a baby? We go through the full pros and cons. There are upsides. Not many. And we close out with a man who was caught defecating in a public swimming pool. Eighteen times. Same pool. We have thoughts.

  • The Real Plot Hole? Actor Salaries (Disclosure Day Review)

    The Real Plot Hole? Actor Salaries (Disclosure Day Review)
    Jun 21 2026
    In this episode of Hat Chat, we deliver a 'semi-spoiler' review of Disclosure Day, picking apart the film's biggest plot holes and the issues that left us unimpressed. From there, the conversation shifts to Hollywood pay culture, sparked by the Obsession art director's claims of being underpaid despite the film's global success. That leads into a wider debate on whether actors are paid too much and whether the film industry needs to unionise. Spoiler warning: if you haven't seen Disclosure Day yet, you'll want to watch first.

3 great guys shooting the sh*t with really good chemistry. Arguably the podcast is much better than their YouTube channel as you don't actually have to see their awful faces.
