    Ryen dropping in “throw out the records when France and Germany hook up” and making a quip about invasions killed me.

    The section in the Austin Powers 2 rewatchables where Bill talks about buying the SI swimsuit issue for a then 11 year old Ben is absolutely insane

    “He just likes models!”

    The official team USA photo looks like Bam is taller than Tatum. Sorry to ruin Ryen and Bill’s fantasy.

    Insane. And Sean’s energy was so different back then. He was a lot more willing to try to entertain Bill’s non-expertise than he is now.

    lol bill really is the buddy who everyone in group just has to entirely disregard once in a while and act like they didn’t send that text.

    21 minutes into true lies and there’s an Embiid comment. CR and Van are both like geez wtf is your problem.

    I listened to the pod on the YouTube version last night and there are multiple moments when Van and Chris look at each other like "what the fuck is he talking about?" The most hilarious being when Bill was talking about "all the weird bridges by the Keys".

    A very weird performance from Bill.

    Just watch for 90 seconds from the starting point here and look at the faces on Van and Chris for a snapshot of their thoughts on Bill this episode. The bridge thing is at 57:30.

    went to the RW reddit to see if they were also discussing Bill's deranged behavior. They were (kinda), but one comment made me lose it :laugh:

    "I disagree with the idea that this is the apex mountain for serums ..."

    two Paxton movies on the rewatchables in a row. CR makes a joke about "isn't this Paxton month?" New Alien movie out next month.

    CR called Bill an asshole after his crack about Embid needing to lose 15 pounds and it was fantastic.

    But, yes, Bill is feeling really good about the Celtics title and is basically acting like a ginned up message board poster.

    Bill is definitely getting weirder about actresses, which is creepy with his daughter now in college.

    But making fun of Nell will never not crack me up. The run in the 90s of Oscar-bait pictures about special needs characters was cringy even back then.

    Shame. That movie rocks and is definitely rewatchable.

    I’m sure Bill has asked to do this dozens of times and has been shot down enough that he stopped requesting it.

    I must admit I was very naive to Lois Einhorn being the same hot lady from this movie and Wall Street among other of these 80s movies before not too long ago.

    Somehow just never made the connection.
