Byron Allen went from hosting Comics Unleashed to owning the Weather Channel — and now he's bought Stephen Colbert's 11 PM CBS slot. Viewership has cratered immediately because nobody wants to watch a stripped-down stand-up chat show.

In a PrizePicks-sponsored segment branded 'More or Less Presidential Fight Night Edition,' the crew works through the fight card for the White House UFC event on June 14th. Nate and Shawn disagree sharply on Josh Hokic vs. Derrick Lewis — Nate is bullish on Hokic after his Curtis Blaydes win, while the crew leans Lewis. Ilia Topuria is unanimously picked to smoke Justin Gaethje in the main event, despite genuine affection for Gaethje. The segment closes with the PrizePicks code DRENCH for $50 in lineups on a $5 first play.
Stephen Colbert averaged 2.5 million viewers a night — competitive with Gutfeld's 3.3 million — and still got fired. The crew alleges CBS canned him because he called out Skydance's alleged effort to bribe Trump officials for FCC clearance on the Paramount acquisition.

Avnish grew his solo business to $25,000 per month in just 15 months without spending a dollar on ads. His entire growth engine was built on community posts in Reddit and Facebook groups.
One well-crafted post in the right community took Avnish from single thousands of users to tens of thousands. This wasn't luck — it was a repeatable part of his 5-step playbook.
Most founders chase paid ads and influencer deals, but Avnish's growth came entirely from knowing where his users already gathered online. Dominating Reddit and Facebook groups — for free — was his entire strategy.
The dominant mobile monetization flow is simple: free download, onboarding, then a hard paywall that blocks all features until the user pays or starts a trial. It's unskippable by design — and that's exactly the point.
Switching PuffCount to a hard paywall and requiring a free trial before any feature access sent conversion rates soaring to 20–25%. One structural change to the payment flow — no new features, no new users — transformed the business.
Vasco is so confident in YouTube that he'll personally PayPal $500 to anyone who posts for 45 days and doesn't make $5,000. This isn't hype — it's a distillation of his own experience growing an AI app to $70K/month using nothing but daily videos.
Vasco's AI app went from zero to $70,000 a month in just two years. The entire growth engine was YouTube — one video a day, nothing fancy, no expensive tools. Most of his users came directly from the channel.
People buy from people they know, like, and trust. YouTube is the only platform that builds all three at scale — and Vasco's $1M business is the proof of concept.
