Sacred Symbols+, Episode 499 | Checking-In With Gene Park
🕑 Added 2026-01-24 17:00:17 +0000 UTCPlease welcome Punching Up co-host and Washington Post writer Gene Park back to Sacred Symbols+. If you haven't heard, Gene is going through a difficult time right now. Unfortunately, the cancer he was first diagnosed with in 2022 and entered remission from in 2023 has returned, and the short story is that he's days away from a lobectomy that aims to solve this awful problem once and for all. I (Colin) know our fanbase has been concerned for Gene, and that some of you don't even know what's going on at all. So I figured I'd dedicate an episode of Sacred+ to talk to my friend face-to-face, covering what he's going through and how he's dealing with everything, and to give him an opportunity to speak with the many thousands of you out there that are already firmly in his corner.

Gene, you mean so much to this community❤️ Love you bro! When Gene joined LSM, it was the time my mom was battling her colon cancer. Those were the Constellation days and hearing Genes wild stories of the past always made me laugh out loud. Thanks for all of those moments. Fuck cancer. I know you’ve got this Gene keep on fighting dude! Also, Breaking Bad is the best show of all time.

Gene I just got my girlfriend to watch Breaking Bad for the first time and she loved it so I said we’d go ahead and watch Better Call Saul next, I watched the first few episodes on my own as a refresher and I just couldn’t stop watching so now I’m just watching it myself, I totally understand, it’s so good man. Thinking of you and all the best, you got this! As Mike says in the show, one day you’ll wake up and go about your business, and you won’t even think about it, hopefully that’ll be sooner rather than later.

There are certain people and permutations of groups that I never skip on for SS+, Summon Signs, and the late Stelly. Gene is a never skip, almost always immediate play. What a fucking gem that LSM is lucky to get.

Hey Gene. I’ve reached out before, thanks for sharing. I’m going through bowel cancer too. Had 2 years of chemo and it’s pretty crap! No one can really understand it and we do our best to put on a brave face. Keep going man, you rock 💪
