Monday is becoming the best day for news. Disney, Netflix and Warner Bros are interested in gaming again. Peak TV is slowly going the way of cable TV. And more!
Episode 223 - As I Expected
Thank you for signing up for Voter, I Barely Know Her! -- your one stop shop for all things voting. We're going to send you annoying texts using your name whenever there's an election in your county. Mayoral? Yes! City Council? You bet! High School Treasury? Better have unlimited texting! So get ready to be annoyed as butts! Text STOP to opt out. Please note we will not stop, baby! Plus: COMCAST is staying with HULU for the long haul as they stay silent on PEACOCK sign ups; audiences liked diversely casted shows during the last TV season; and the Global Box Office is doing pretty well, considering.
Episode 172 - They Have Done Some Things
Chad gets startling news about big changes at COMEDY CENTRAL. Like huge. HUGE. Giant. Gargantuan. So big that thesaurus.com doesn't have other synonyms for "big." Plus: Netflix cancels PATRIOT ACT leaving it with no late night programs... again; and APPLE is doing bundles now.

Episode 159 - John Krasinski: Ya Done F'ed Up
Someone call Jason Aldean because we've got the Wheels Rollin'. (This will be the last episode of this show I'm sorry for disappointing you with that bad joke). Listen, we've got stories to go through. Like the one about JOE ROGAN selling his podcast to SPOTIFY for buco dolores; JOHN KRASINSKI selling SOME GOOD NEWS to VIACOMCBS for an untold & likely ungodly amount; and VIACOMCBS's tinkering of executives could be the downfall of COMEDY CENTRAL.

Episode 142 - Oh. My gosh. Children.
Charity is the name of the game in 2020 and we are in the thick of it. Chad volunteered at a children's book fair. Kids like him. And he didn't get sick. Yet. It could always happen. Plus: we have screeners of Comedy Central's AWKWAFINA IS NORA FROM QUEENS; fat women are no longer the butt of the joke in television; and CMT is playing male and female artists equally.
