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

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

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

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

slash Jonathan 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,

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

his experience. I encourage you to go there, and if you can, please support The Charks Family.

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

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. And throughout his experience with Cancer John,

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

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

Over the last few months, you know, whenever we would talk, whenever I reach out to see how he was

doing, I would try to keep it very John-focused. And the next thing I knew we would be talking about

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

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

while we grieve, but we wanted to let folks know that John was in our hearts and that his family

was in our thoughts. Thanks for listening.

Cold open questions the week has. It was good, Dave. If you had to

wager your daughter's college savings on one of the two, who are you betting on?

Dominic Mysterio or Bronny James? Who are you going to be telling your daughter about when she's 18?

Yo, the back-to-back weeks of Dominic Mysterio's slander is a little unjust,
