    listened to the majority of this last night, it was fine. Without Bill there telling us something outlandish like this movie invented secret societies or recasting Saoirse Ronan w. Sydney Sweeney or something like that, there's really not a lot of this pod to unpack. the first 35 minutes or so is a love letter to Wes and then they get into the categories.

    I get the vibe Danny doesn’t really know that much the CFB landscape and Ryen’s knowledge is comparable to Bill’s non Celtics nba teams.

    Craig threw in a "who knows if Bill will be back" for next week's rewatchables pod and got a large chuckle out of CR. Could just be a vacation joke.

    Him going to San Sebastián and ordering a steak, potatoes and salad for every meal and then complaining about it was fantastic.

    Laughed out loud when he talked about bringing a Madrid woman to Chatham vs a Bilbao woman to Nauset. Also died at him saying he has studied the tape on the running of the bulls.

    One of his best IMO

    I listened to his travel pod while flying from Dubrovnik to Amsterdam and man would he be horrible to travel with. He wore mesh shorts to a Michelin star restaurant? I get there is a level of “I don’t give a fuck” he likes to exude but that’s too much trying. And I like him 99% of the time.

    not going to listen but evidently Bill listed Stroud and Harrison Jr. as underrated fantasy picks? :laugh:

    also, why is Bill so enamored by Byron Murphy II despite never watching CFB?

    was it like a matter of circumstance? He didn't pack for a nice dinner but decided to do one last minute? or did someone lose his luggage? or did this man really go to a Michelin star restaurant in gym shorts?

    My favorite thing about the Russillo travel pods are that he finds the shittiest Italian restaurant everywhere he goes. He ate at some restaurant called la mafia like bruh what are you doing

    Haven’t listened to a russillo pod in 5+ years but the sound of this travel pod has my interest. Does he approach it as the self aware, xenophobic American who has a child’s palate?

    Or does he have a couple passport stamps and now think he can tell everyone how to travel?

    Russillo works well as a second guy next to someone like SVP or Simmons. He doesn't work as a lead next to someone like Kannell, and he's way too meta for me to handle any solo stuff he does. I gave up on that almost immediately and haven't listened to anything other than interviews he's done with interesting people on his pod since he left ESPN.

    Bill farmed his Bills takes from the Buffalo Bills subreddit. So that is how you prepared for this season, reading teams sub credits. Never disappoints.

    Jaguars having a great WR room because they have Zay Jones, a rookie, Gabe Davis, and Christian Kirk is some take.

    Though I will say that the Jags have provided Lawrence with plenty of weapons if you count Engram and Etienne.
