    Turning into an odd form of a take over. Basically renting it for 3 months to let Tim Heidecker do a few shows??

    Editorialized title. It has a plan to take over that will need approval. Lots of non-paywalled coverage that would be better links, eg:

    See previous discussion linked in sibling as well.

    I hope Dan and Jordan can get the desk like they've always wanted.

      I'm concerned they won't know what to do without Alex. Already going back over shows from 2006...

    A million dollars a year for... what? A gag that fans of infowars won't watch, and there aren't enough anti-fans to appreciate? It feels personal at this point.

      It is openly and proudly personal. It is also political, also openly.
