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.
Nate Marshall alleged CBS fired Stephen Colbert because he criticized Skydance's alleged effort to bribe Trump officials for FCC approval of their Paramount acquisition.
Byron Allen, known from Comics Unleashed, owns the Weather Channel — a fact the hosts found surprisingly impressive.
Stephen Colbert's series finale set a show record with 6.74 million live plus same-day viewers.
Stephen Colbert averaged 2.5 million viewers per night before being cancelled, significantly more than the hosts expected.
Gutfeld leads late-night at 3.3 million average viewers, Colbert and Kimmel trade at around 2.5 million, and Fallon trails badly at 1.3 million. The crew debates whether any of these numbers should be considered cancelable in 2025.
SiteGPT attracted over 1 million visitors and $500K in total revenue without spending a cent on paid marketing. The secret: engineering as marketing — building free tools that rank on Google.
Bhanu quit his first job after just 8 months, moved back to his parents' house to cut costs, and started building. One product sold for $250K; the next hit $10K MRR in its first month.
90% of SiteGPT's Google search traffic comes not from the main product but from ~50 free tools Bhanu built. Each tool targets a low-competition keyword and funnels users back to the paid product.
50,000 monthly visitors become 200 leads, 60 trials, and roughly 15–24 new customers per month at ~$100 average revenue each. Add a $1,700–$1,800 LTV and you have a very healthy SaaS.
Start with a blank Ahrefs search, layer in keyword filters (include term, KD < 10, volume > 1,000), list candidates in Notion, design a CTA linking to your main product, then score by volume, difficulty, build effort, and product relevance. That's the whole playbook.
Marketing feels painful for most builders. Engineering as marketing flips the script: instead of writing cold emails or blog posts, you build things — and those things rank on Google forever.
Don't spend months perfecting before launch. Ship the core feature, get real users, and let their feedback dictate the product roadmap. Premature polish is a trap.
SiteGPT launched and hit $10,000 MRR within its first month. That momentum was so overwhelming that Bhanu sold his existing SaaS, Feather, for $250,000 to free up all his time.
PropGPT launched with 20 downloads a day and strong influencer marketing but hit a ceiling at $1,000–$2,000 MRR. High download numbers masked a critical flaw: almost nobody stuck around after the free trial ended.
