    JackO never bothered me either. I’ve liked the back and forth with him and Bill going back 11-13 years. I haven’t listened to 50% of their pods as I hate the Yankees and the Sox but I’ve like their comradery

    the post your own Russillo Minneapolis rant thread on Reddit is a gem.




    Ryen: People are going to say, oh he’s pro-business owner, when actually I was one of the first people to be pro-looter, back before everyone thought looters should stay in school for four years before going pro. I was always on the side where looters should look after they own self-interest.

    But I just feel like now it’s gone too far the other way, where now they want 100% of the merchandise from the Target, from the Vitamin Shoppe, the Verizon store. And it’s not sustainable! It’s just not. Like I’ve watched the tape, I ran the numbers...the looters are going to have to swallow their pride a little bit and accept that these businesses are what’s giving them the platform to do their thing.

    Bill: You forgot one thing.

    Ryen: What’s that?

    Bill: Back before the looter empowerment era, looters from different neighborhoods didn’t hang out in the offseason!

    Ryen: Yeah. That was our A block, coming up...something I overheard at a Baton Rouge Chili’s that may make you think differently about the SEC West next year.

    Yeah same. Cant believe he still thought Okafor was the right pick. I agree that Dwight could have been a lot better but he was the best center in the league for 6-8 years.

    That draft was so bad especially coming off one of the best in 2003.

    Havent listened to it yet but Bill has Michael Lewis and Jason Bateman on his podcast today.

    They were supposed to drop Fletch yesterday on the Rewatcheables but it looks like they are waiting until Monday which is a bummer.

    I dont think he was saying Okafor was the right pick, as he said several times that Dwight proved him wrong. I think he is defending the process and opinion at the time.

    and that's where he was completely wrong....the tools of Dwight were generational. He was the obvious top pick at the time and to not be able to admit you were looking at the wrong thing with 16 years of hindsight is hilariously bad.

    I guess credit to Ryen for pretty much saying he voted for trump bc he votes selfishly. He said “I voted for tax purposes when I had no money too”. Does that mean he voted dem, or he was another self hating lower income person still voting R?

    Ryen: never voted for Obama

    Oh man it takes guts to admit you fucking voted for a ticket with Sarah Pailin on it. If Ben Shapiro isn’t in his podcast feed for his 5 minutes of gym cardio, I’d be shocked. The vibe I get is that Russillo absolutely believes in today’s Republican Party, and he’ll still be voting for trump “for tax reasons”.

    He made a comment midway through about sometimes being uncomfortable stating in public how he votes, and I'm just bewildered that he thinks it isn't blatantly obvious to everyone listening to him.

    Simmons is prob smart enough not to put Russillo on with Shea.

    Or be totally tone deaf and do a Rewatchable with the two of them on like A Time to Kill

    “My issue is, and I get Sam Jackson’s reaction to the whole racism thing but like - and here’s where I get a lot of shit on Twitter and the aggregators. And by the way, everyone thinks I’m pro-prosecution but I’ve been pro-defendant on criminal matters since I was watching Saturday morning cartoons, okay? But like, we’re a nation of laws right? So you can’t sit here and tell me someone is right just because it “felt right.” So that’s kinda where I’m at on this whole thing and that’s where the movie falls apart for me.
