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 Charx 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,

0:18.6

slash Jonathan Charx, 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. And the amazing writing he did throughout

0:32.3

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

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

1:05.2

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

1:10.2

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

1:15.6

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

1:21.3

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

1:25.4

was in our thoughts. Thanks for listening.

Hello and welcome into TheRinger vs. Your Nexus podcast feed for all things fandom.

2:23.6

I've had your headphones on for that opening clip and you were ready for some creepiness because

2:27.8

here we go into rings of power. I'm so excited to be here today. I'm doing a Robinson joining me
