Hey, everyone. This is Chris Ryan from The Ringer. As many of you have heard right now,

0:03.7

we lost a treasured colleague and friend over the weekend. Jonathan Charks passed away on Saturday.

0:09.7

John was 34. He leaves behind a wife and a son, and we are obviously mourning his loss and

0:14.9

sending all of our love to his family right now. If you go to TheRinger.com, slash Jonathan

0:19.2

Charks, that's J-O-N-A-T-H-A-N-T-J-A-R-K-S. You will find a memorial page for John,

0:26.8

which has links to his GoFundMe that benefits his family. The amazing writing he did throughout

0:32.3

his experience. I encourage you to go there and if you can, please support TheCharksFamily.

0:37.0

Briefly, I will just say that John was among the first people that we hired to work for TheRinger,

0:41.2

so he was instrumental in defining the voice and perspective of the site. He has as much to do with

what this place is as anyone else. Throughout his experience with Cancer John,

communicated eloquently about the challenges he was facing both through his writing and his podcasting.

0:56.3

You could never stop John from talking about his passions. It's one of the things I loved about him.

1:06.0

I would try to keep it very John-focused, and the next thing I knew we would be talking about James

1:10.4

Harden or Better Call Saul. He really loved this stuff. He loved talking about it, celebrating it,

1:16.7

debating it, illuminating it. We're going to keep putting out our pods and writing while we grieve,

1:22.4

but we wanted to let folks know that John was in our hearts and that his family was in our thoughts.

1:26.6

Thanks for listening.

I'm Noor Prince Yachty, and welcome to The Island. This week, my guest is the wonderful

2:14.0

Goryeps kind of USA Today, who is calling in from Dallas, I believe, to give us some excellent new

2:20.9

perspective on the Cowboys after their disappointing week one loss and injury to Dac Press Scott.

2:26.7

Gorye, welcome to The Island. Glad to be here, Noor. Any excuse to hang out with you? I'll take it.
