He’s had a couple guys on his pod mention barstool, like Bill Burr and he refuses to acknowledge them directly even though they are clearly his biggest competitor and has plenty of his employees who are chummy with Barstool talent

I tried my best because the content is solid, but they really are an unlikable group

there are just not many ringer guys that i find interesting or funny. they come off as try-hard nerds, which to be fair, they most likely are. this typically makes them quite good at writing, but not that great at podcasting or other shite. there's no actual problem and they seem like good dudes, but very meh on most of them

Ringer content alone over the last year or so has made me do a total 180 on Russillo. I used to hate his "self-aware douche" schtick, but he's been great across from Simmons. His Town Rewatchables with Simmons and Ryan that just came out was the crowning achievement that convinced me he'll be better off at the Ringer than ESPN.

Simmons needed someone like Russillo who isn't afraid to "go there" sometimes with his jokes and can reign in Bill's homerism/poke fun at Bill like Sal does.

He doesn’t openly bash them on his pod, but if a guest brings them up, he moves on rather quickly. That’s what I’ve noticed.

What do you mean by this? Self awareness is usually considered a positive trait; where does the douche part come in?

Because he goes to the gym?

He keeps his distance from political talk and openly mocks any social media outrage regardless of what side it's on.

I don't listen to a lot of stuff anymore, but this is a reason I would listen to him.

He may be right leaning (I have no clue), but if he was "MAGA AF", there's no way him and Simmons would be working together much, much less him getting hired by the Ringer.
