good example is the above article, its a write up on Noah's Daily Show interview with Tomi Lahren. They did a good job of calling out the bullshite on both sides.
Yep. I follow barstool on twitter and I follow some super libs on twitter as well so it was hilarious watching that unfold
I watched the full clip
Then I saw the outrage where they clearly took it out of context (despite the stupidity of it all)
And then I basically had the same thoughts as in that article and they just wrote it out for me. Masterful.

I can't wait to see what shenanigans they pull with Holgerson on Friday

I loved the Carissa Thompson interview because she gives the shite right back. Marlins Man and Foul Ball episode is my all-time favorite.
AJ Green, Bulls TV guy, and Addison Russell were all cringeworthy awkward to listen to.

I just got into PMT like 2 months ago so I'm about to start from the beginning and listen to all their pod casts

As cartoonish as O is, I can't see him actually being smart enough to understand what is happening if they interviewed him
I saw one of them tweeted at Ponamsky recently trying to set up and interview with Coach O

I was a little let down at the Coach O story that wannstadt told. Pretty tame.
I thought the Danny Kannell interview was great last week as well. Despite the shitty audio
Ponmansky wont allow his golden goose to go on a show like that. They only go to media sources they control

Martin Shkrelli was one of my favorites. It was so bizarre. And apparently PFT despises him and really didn't want to do the interview.
Their interview with death was amazing as well. I have no idea how they didn't break character

I was hooked in the very first episode of PMT when they asked Chris Long about his sex life since he just had a kid and then had a conversation about Presidential dick sizes.

Yeah that didn't show in any way
That interview was so awkwardly brutal and bizarre. Maybe my favorite of all time.

Irony of this is Simmons has made the point that the reason eddie murphy lost his comedy edge was he became so popular that he got disconnected from the regular people in his life that he derived most of his comedy from.
Simmons has fallen prey to the same phenomena by surrounding himself with weaker writing personalities than he had at Grantland, hipsters, Millenials and SOCAL SJWs and losing the everyfan position that got him started

<--------Listen to it

The last couple weeks they've been mocking Bill Simmons podcast (which I listen to out of habit and am getting increasingly annoyed wth)
I can't listen to PMT then go to BS podcast, I just get bored with Simmons and the shite thhey call him out on happens in every podcast
Plus Simmons might be senile at this point. He says something completely wrong every pod now and no one corrects him. Monday he said he thinks that the Raiders, Chiefs, and Bronocos will get in the playoffs, and also the Ravens and the Steelers will get in
Anyone who knows anything about NFL knows that is literally impossible

It wasn't their best interview, but it wasn't Carissa Thompson or AJ Green bad.

I don't get how they don't break character more often. I would be losing my shite.
They need to get some lawyer advice from Michael Portnoy Esquire soon. It's been too long. I love when they bring him on.

I was just thinking, part of the problem is that he has gotten old and has his family or whatever. I'm sure he has no idea about stuff like tinder. It's impossible for him to be cool anymore.
I wonder why the political stuff never reared its head until recently. I guess he got brainwashed by L.A./Hollywood.

I think going out to L.A. to write for Kimmel ruined him

I just don't think Bill Simmons/The Ringer connects with the younger audience like he wants. He really comes off as trying too hard most of the time and his underlings just aren't funny. He wants so badly to be cool, I just don't see how anyone would ever think that about him.
Barstool is just naturally a lot more funny.

Simmons either had a stroke during the ESPN/ringer changeover or is so busy he can't follow sports everyday anymore.
Posted on 12/7/16 at 2:30 pm to Bunk Moreland
Because he thinks the way to relate to a younger audience is to just agree with whatever his extremely left leaning 20 year old writers think
You can tell whenever he has someone on talking politics he just waits until they say their opinion and then he agrees with it and just relates it to some dumb sports analogy to sound like he knows what he's saying
He's basically a 40 year old dad trying to do the dougie in 2016 to look cool in front of his kids

Barstool had him on for their election coverage. He started the night all cheery and playful and by the end when the nation was MAGAing he was in legit meltdown mode
I was pretty disappointed when the PMT guys didn't go join ICP this summer.
The Larry's Picks videos are hilarious. This is one of the funniest videos I've ever seen.
