Lol.

T-Bob's morning radio show experience is about to payoff big time for Barstool as they use him on the FS1 daily morning show.

Just saw that. That one surprised me, but they must be doing some good numbers

Simmons and Russillo were fantastic. Russillo's standalone pod also great. Life Advice was awesome

I was a dedicated Simmons and Russillo podcasts listener but I got tired of the repetitiveness of their content

Simmons has become more arrogant and smarmy, Russillo seems irritated and sarcastic all the time.

what drove me away from RR was his constant arguing both sides of subjects at the same time. Just pick a side and express your beliefs, making both arguments is tiresome and hard to listen to

I remember meeting him in Austin for the LSU/Texas game back in 2019.



Met him the year before at Lustre Pearl after the USC Texas game. Him and Stanford Steve were watching their guy Herm Edwards lose to San Diego State after starting 2-0 at ASU. I remember Stanford Steve was talking up UW after the Auburn loss and saying they would run the table the rest of the year. I said Oregon would beat them for sure and he looked at me like I was crazy.

Yeah when I was still listening I just skipped through the cold open bc it was always some circular “okay so this is why this argument is dumb. But also maybe it’s not so dumb. At the end of the day it’s a lot of things and we’ll just see it play out” for 40 minutes

Worst would be his NBA rants where he spit off a billion random stats and examples to show how much he watches, then would wrap it up with “maybe this means nothing, but maybe it means something too”


He’s so concerned about not being a “take” guy he forgot to give himself any sort of opinion in the process

TBob was doing national stuff too before going to Barstool. He is really good and has been a budding star since his night show with the gay guy on WWL

Agreed. Not really fun listening to someone who comes off as miserable and jaded all the time.

Rewatchables was about the only pods left that still listened to weekly


Rewatchables is getting thin. They're running out of films, and Simmons' unwillingness to do science fiction type films is going to be the death of that podcast. They also don't do enough classic films and way too many chick flicks recently.

The only time I hear anything about RR is when Big Cat or PFT bring him up. So this is only fitting.

I like Russillo but attach Barstool to anything and I lose all desire to listen or watch.
