If you were a fan of Anthony Bourdain, you might find "Tony" to be an interesting story, but Dominic Sessa didn't sell it to us. We also reflect on YouTube's partner program changes, and how that may make things tougher for small channels (like ours!) to succeed in the long run.

We also discuss MySpace potentially rebooting, Disney+ Verts, Disney+ potentially getting a "free" tier, sports news, and listener feedback!
