Finally listened to the JT smash interview. I am so confused what he actually wants. Can anyone tell me when CDC discussed it afterwards?

First of all, wow. That SmashJT guy came off with a level of stupidity that was bordering on neurosis.

The SS episodes following were 382 and 383 which I have skimmed through but couldn’t find the guys actually discussing that interview.

Hoping someone could point me to the specific episode or timestamp where they (especially Chris) shared their thoughts on it.

Also, I ultimately just can’t imagine what smash wanted to happen with Circana and the industry. Colin fairly articulately explained that Circanas business model is revealing the charts for free but keeping the specific data behind a paywall.

Does that smash guy want to force private businesses like Sony to reveal their data to the public? Why would they do that? You can’t demand a business open their books for your curiosity. Why is gaming industry any different?

Or does he want government intervention saying Sony and Nintendo have to open their books to the public. I thought he was a fwee market guy?

The whole thing is so befuddling and I’d love to hear Colin, Dustin and Chris discuss it further, if they did.
