**Cold Open (Someone told Cody our podcast was bad... to his face)**

It's not looking good for the world's most widely used website builder. WordPress' founder, Matt Mullenweg, attacked WP Engine the other week and WP Engine sent Matt a cease and desist.

If you're not in the website-building community or manage websites, that's okay -- we'll give you the backstory.

Basically the #1 website builder is going after the #1 website host that hosts that website builder and the fallout is nuclear (pun intended).

There are a couple of things we get wrong in this episode -- like Automattic doesn't own the WordPress Foundation (however, Matt does own both).

Jake actually made a pretty detailed YouTube video covering everything. You can find that here:

In this episode, we weigh in on the whole situation giving our thoughts.
