| 0:00.0 | Hey, token CEO listeners. You can find every episode on Apple podcasts, Spotify, or YouTube. |
| 0:06.9 | Prime members can listen ad-free on Amazon music. |
| 0:10.8 | What the fuck is Animal Crossing? |
| 0:12.7 | Today is Thursday, September 3rd. Today Jason Wright, who's making the circuit, he is the president |
| 0:20.8 | of the Washington Football Club. I actually think it's the Washington Football team, but I |
| 0:25.6 | agree with my friend Dave Portnoy that it would have been better if it was the Washington |
| 0:29.6 | Football Club. Jason and I don't get into that because I just wanted to be respectful as a host. |
| 0:34.9 | But Jason joins us. We're excited about that. And before we get into it, we're going to do the headlines. |
| 0:41.1 | So the first headline we've got is that WGN, which stands for World's Greatest Newspaper in a, |

| 1:41.0 | would expect from the World's Greatest Newspaper. And they want to be a very serious cable news |
| 1:46.9 | competitor, like everyone else in the cable news business, which is hashtag not a good business to be in. |
| 1:54.5 | They're losing viewers, they're losing advertisers. It's actually interesting to see that they |
| 2:00.3 | think that being neutral is going to be the key to to gaming audience. Their executive vice president, |
| 2:07.8 | Sean Compton, said the company has done extensive research and they've determined that there is |
| 2:13.6 | an appetite for straight ahead new TV news. Yeah, like no shit, everybody's sick of everybody's opinion. |
