    I would be surprised if a pageant girl was escorting. That’s like the biggest thing that will get them disqualified and banned.

    Absurd anecdote.

    Surprised about the lack of enthusiasm for The Patriot.

    The interview was accidentally a great look at how The Ringer runs with Bill aboard. Pablo Torre Finds Out actually sounds like it would fit in well in the Ringer's portfolio, but because Pablo reported on Belichick it will never happen.

    and how super serious of a journalist he is, for a podcast

    Absolutely sad that Bill couldn’t even bother to listen to the podcast that he invited a guest on to complain about for over an hour

    There will be at least 2 games in this series where Indiana just hits an unbelievable percentage of the wide open corner 3s OKC gives them

    Pacers will win one of the first two games, OKC will win the other by 20+.

    Our guy Ry reading messages about people clowning him for saying a random guy breaking a 6 minute mile is solid/doable. Now making it seem like the original context was “if you train for it.”

    During the pod this initially came up he also said doing 8 pull ups is solid. I find it hard to believe a person knows anything about running if they think 8 pull ups and a 6 minute mile are on the same level.

    Sean "interviewed" Kevin Smith for an hour and I think he asked one question and made half of one comment for the first 50 minutes of it. Over/under on his word count during those minutes is somewhere around 20. Smith is one hell of a talker.

    that was back when Bill would just adopt whoever Tjarks was touting in the draft every year despite never having watched them, did it big time with Luka and did it again with Mobley too
