  • Episode 114 - A Lot of Whom

    Who would have thought that twice in one week, Chad would be talking about Vice? No one? Because they're not reading this part. Right right. Hey, we've got a handful of hot topics to cover. Let's get to it: BUZZFEED journalists walkout over union disputes; VICE sees a dramatic drop in web traffic; female driven BOOKSMART failed in the box office, can LATE NIGHT prevail?; and SAM BEE laments on being the only woman in late night.

    Walkout at Buzzfeed over union dispute:

    Dip in web traffic for Vice could be temporary:

    "Booksmart" distribution failed the movie and other female comedies too:

    Another late episode has Chad covering just a single topic. He also goes over an incident at the Atlanta Braves game that doesn't put humanity in the greatest of light.

    "Vice News Tonight" cancelled:

    End your week with this hot piece of chic! Rhymes aren't Chad's strong suit. But he sure as heck can host a show. Just check out these hot topics (Hey, that should be a store or something!): layoffs at VICE...again; everybody wants to work with JJ ABRAMS; DC Universe's SWAMPTHING has been cancelled due to taxes; more!

  • Episode 111 - Basting Juices

    Would you believe it if Chad forgot to do an episode last week? He didn't. Mostly. Here's this week's topics: changes at the TONIGHT SHOW; DISNEY remakes with people of color don't make the company woke; female reviewers are outnumbered; and the origins of/difference between creators and influencers thanks to YOUTUBE.

  • Episode 110 - Synergy Energy

    Late night and I'm feeling so goooood! Back again, The Constitutionals is all about the brand. Desus and Mero reference aside, we've got a lot to cover. LIVE IN FRONT OF A STUDIO AUDIENCE makes big ratings for ABC and Emmy nominations for its actors; YOUTUBE also wants Emmy noms for WILL SMITH; DISNEY is looking to work HULU into its family; and AT&T is working on its place in the media world. The brand is strong in this episode. Dang it; I did it again!

  • Episode 109 - Cardioid B

    Enjoy the dulcet tones of a seductive voice as Chad stays up late to record this episode. And maybe you'll be able to hear his white noise machine ;). Listen as he covers how tech IPOs like UBER and LYFT lose money before going public; female director numbers are going up (for pilots); the cancellations that came down last week; even more layoffs at DISNEY/FOX; the end of the CW and NETFLIX deal; and why TBS's diversification in genre could hurt the network.

  • Episode 108 - Verbal Twitter Argument

    Sometimes, this show is produced so well it surprises me -- Chad White, the host of the show. Just kidding. Let's get into it. SINCLAIR buys the sports stations DISNEY adopted from FOX; SUPERSTORE and NBC helps women in the industry; E! cancels "BUSY TONIGHT" but perhaps it will live on elsewhere; and CBS thinks censoring "THE GOOD FIGHT" is a good idea. It's not. It's really not.

    Sinclair buys sports stations from Disney:

    “Superstore” and NBC’s push for female directors:

    “Busy Tonight” canceled by E!; to be shopped elsewhere:

  • Episode 107 - All You Need is Three

    It's all about the ads today! While there are no ads in the show, we darn sure will cover the topic. SPOTIFY makes it to 100 million subs; HULU hits the 28 million sub mark; NETFLIX may have to start running ads; and advertising on TV is changing forever.

    Spotify is the first to 100 million paid subs:

  • Episode 106 - Kiss The Microphone

    Back in the closet, Chad returns to tell the tales of the stories he read this week. APEX LEGENDS may be negatively affecting EA's stock; also negative, the aftershocks of DISNEY buying FOX continue; SINEMIA goes the way of MoviePass; and streaming service bundles are on the way yet poised to fail.

    Apex Legends interest falls, may affect EA stocks:
