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
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.
After having not listened for a few eps, hearing Bill open today's podcast with "it feels like March Madness is back" was hilarious.
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
He was trying to say something about how people that are close to a program aren't very good at being objective but it took like 5 minutes to get there
Yeah it’s like he read that book and tried to shoehorn some weird ass take next to it to tell us what he read
Seems like a smart take that tracks with his history of nuance and critical thinking. I’ve got no reason to doubt this.
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
Bill is definitely gonna try to hire Paul Pierce and do a deep dive pod series on the 2011 Cs (whatever year it was).
if only Nantz would have thought to make a reference to a 40 y/o song AND make a point that he is asian!
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
if the person on the pod wasn't someone who depended on bill for a paycheck that would've got shot down pretty quickly.
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
Finished up a Rewatchables and he was saying his step dad had a car phone and cell phone right when they came out.
Zach Lowe sounded like he was giving a eulogy today, just a tad bit overdramatic. You woulda thought a 3 time MVP just died
