    Bill has always been somewhat horned up. Lately he’s been extremely horned up.

    Bill becoming jacked would be a great bit. Does he think he’s Skip Bayless or something?

    Yeah real dumb shit like that is my biggest grievance with the pod. If you don’t want to engage with the film(s), which is fine, don’t pod about it.

    My issue is more that when they do their HOF or draft pods, they talk all the time about watching movies and reacquainting themselves with them in preparation so they can talk about them. When they did the Planet of the Apes pod with Van a month or two ago, Amanda talked about watching several of them for the first time to prepare for it because she hadn't seen them.

    And so if you know you're going to blow out the Deadpool thing to the point where you're going to do multiple pods and talk for 3+ hours on it, not watching any of the first two if you haven't seen them before you jump in to talk about the 3rd one is just a weird choice to me. She didn't say anything crazy about it, but it's just a weird choice.

    As always, don’t consume any ringer content other than this thread - excited for the reaction to bill reacting to Tatum getting a DNP - Coaches Decision.

    Enjoying the pod. Also, glad Bill was able to weave in a Jets/Embiid comment. Fucking weirdo.

    I really just need to ignore this thread and all BS pods going forward. I've disliked Embiid for almost a decade. I've invested time in this. And Bill going after him constantly now because he's threatened by the 6ers and high off his team winning is going to make me ultimately root for Philly and that's not who I want to be.

    Bill’s enormous insecurity over his friends teams far precedes the recent Celtics win. He’d be throwing darts at the wizards if House was on. Bill is a middle school level buddy shit talking sports.

    aside from Bill shoehorning in his dumb jabs about Embiid and the Jets, thought Part 1 was really damn good. I’m in it for the Fenneseey stuff more than anything else and Sean was great.

    8) Fantasy
