    finished russillo's aba pods to date.

    julius erving is possibly the best person to ever walk this planet. russillo explicitly tried to get him to talk shit about dunking on anyone and everyone and dr j answered by recounting a time when he cursed on the court and his mom was pissed about it :laugh:

    Outside of when he had a child out of wedlock while being married I agree with you. Met him in 2000 and he had the biggest hands I’ve ever seen.

    I mean, it’s 3 games in the season but Boston might legitimately be the worst team in baseball.

    Their pitching is awful. And their offense will (maybe) be average. That’s a recipe for 70ish wins

    Ryen is extremely focused on lowering administrative costs in higher education as an alternative solution to eliminating student debt.

    The Gottlieb stuff was fine but what in the blue fuck was that open by Ryen?

    Also his politics talk is even more embarrassing now that we learned that his degree is in political science

    When you make an ass of yourself like he has on multiple occasions, and then you say "my major was political science but I don't remember any of it," then it's good for at least one laugh, right? Do you even listen to this stuff or is this some driveby?

    The thing is I couldn't really care less about what Bill and Ryen's politics are but when they just kind of make low effort comments, I feel like it's well inbounds to talk a little bit of shit

    Bill wasn't clear about what impeachment meant a few months ago ffs

    Remember when he thought he was Chris Rock level funny for nicknaming James Harden "Jimbo Slice"? That one really caught on

    Also amusing hearing them talk about Zalatoris being potentially a sneaky rich kid when that's exactly what Bill was growing up but he refuses to ever acknowledge it

    You can tell that people in his life only typically laughed at him when he made racist/stereotype jokes, he feels totally neutered if he can't go there as his default source of humor

    Zach Lowe sounded like he was giving a eulogy today, just a tad bit overdramatic. You woulda thought a 3 time MVP just died
