If you're a fan of the inner workings of Hollywood, then check out my podcast, The Town, on the Ringer Podcast Network.

My name's Matt Bellany. I'm founding partner at Puck and the writer of the What I'm Hearing newsletter.

And with my show, The Town, I bring you the inside conversation about money and power in Hollywood.

Every week, we've got three short episodes featuring real Hollywood insiders to tell you what people in town are actually talking about.

Disney, Netflix, who's up, down, and who will never eat lunch in this town again?

Do you have some edge lord behavior in your, in your deep, Matt James Lord? Nothing like Steve. Nothing like Steve Alman in the call of duty. His toxic language in the call of duty lobby. Well, that's good to know. Yeah. I was just wondering if there might be some secret YouTubeing in your past, like how Timothy Shalame had a channel

where he showed off his modded and customized Xbox 360 controllers. Yeah, it was called Modded Controller 360. Actually, you can't look it up.
