b'A.J. Daulerio is the former editor-in-chief of Gawker.\\n\\n \\u201cThe choices they\\u2019ve given me are take back everything that you loved about Nick [Denton], Gawker, and your job, and we\\u2019ll give you your $1,000 back or your ability to make money. You can walk away from this, but you just can\\u2019t talk about it ever again. I don\\u2019t see there\\u2019s any question for me. I definitely thought long and hard about it, and I\\u2019ve talked to a lot of people about it. It\\u2019s just not in me. Some days I absolutely wish I could say, \\u2018Is there a phone call I could make to make this all go away?\\u2019 Because I want my life back. That\\u2019s happened. But for the most part I just think I would regret doing that.\\u201d\\n\\nThanks to MailChimp, EA SPORTS FIFA 17, School of the Arts Institute of Chicago, Casper, and Texture for sponsoring this week\'s episode.\\nDaulerio on Longform\\n[18:00] Gabriel Sherman on the Longform Podcast\\n[24:30] "This Is Apple\\u2019s Next iPhone" (Jason Chen \\u2022 Gizmodo \\u2022 Apr 2010)\\n[28:15] Leah Finnegan on the Longform Podcast\\n[29:15] "\\u2019Brett Favre Once Sent Me Cock Shots\\u2019: Not a Love Story" (Deadspin \\u2022 Aug 2010)\\n[35:30] "Even for a Minute, Watching Hulk Hogan Have Sex in a Canopy Bed is Not Safe For Work but Watch it Anyway" (Gawker \\u2022 Oct 2012)\\n[39:30] "Did I Kill Gawker?"
