Speaking of Ryen, after Ryen took some heat, I found it hilarious on the June 14 redraftable pod, Bill opens by himself talking about race for like 15 mins then brings in Ryen to talk redraft. I laughed.
Have you listened to this weeks pod?
It’s kind of funny when you know about this piece because he goes into his early podcasting days for 40 minutes with Russilo with zero prompt or reason, clearly was trying to get ahead of the story

Yeah that was bad
He likes to throw in there that he still has a “first look” deal with HBO
On his podcast this week he was telling Russillo “yeah a lot of the time I do zero research because I just want to have a conversation” and I was like goddamn I can’t believe he just admitted that

Also explains why he surrounds himself with people who would never dare cross him, outside of Cousin Sal and Russilo (who still toe a certain line)
I had to quit listening to anything the ringer put out for a long time because of the fake laughs and arse kissing around bill.
Rewatchables and russillo brought me back

Atleast on the rewatchables side of things, he started the last year or so walking back the constant complaining and putting today’s values on older movies bc he realized it just sucked the entire fun out of the podcast. But there was a run there where they ruined some great opportunities for a good reatchables pod (wedding crashers May be the biggest offender)
i still never got the whole Wedding Crashers issue
they legit made it seem like they raped women
there is another one i can't think of that was just unfair. American Pie? yeah that's problematic today. Wedding Crashers? no

Yeah it was weird. I think it was at the height of the Weinstein stuff so I guess they overcorrected and thought all sex is bad idk
it was the entire podcast too. quote:

I think Fennesey actually wanted to have Jim from American pie arrested in real life because of that scene. Which I get has aged poorly, but it is really just a modern day porkys scene and I think you should be able to talk about it in the context of the era it was in, and acknowledge it’s pretty wild when you think about it
Fennesey wouldn’t even make a joke, he was so monotone about the scene like it was something that actually happened.Posted on 6/23/20 at 11:39 am to Dire Wolf
BS Podcast has been so boring without actual sports. I enjoyed some aspects of the redraftables, but most of time it just seems like a way for Bill to mention how right he was about X player in some draft diary blog.
Ryen has been great, and so are most of the rewatchables. I enjoyed binge mode despite the hosts and corny categories, but I couldn't even finish the second episode of The Wire version. I'm sure the new Bakari Sellers podcast on all things race relations will be a real hoot.
Selfishly I just want a three times a week Russillo and Big Cat podcast.

Huge cuck who hates Trump. Funny how literally every “Republican” who is featured on MSM or mainstream content hates Trump, yet Trump has an approval rating in the 90%s with Republican voters.

Would not be good. Russillo thrives on being solo or leading the show. Big Cat is the I love sports guy, which is awesome too, but they're different shows.

Agree to disagree. I like Russillo and his off the cuff rants but him and Big Cat always have great segments together. I think it would be a funnier/more riffing on other talking heads version of SVP and Russillo show.

Russilo couldn’t afford big cat

Yeah just not for Trump. Which is why I bring it up. Surely after the Trump era, Ringer wokesters will ban him.

I love the rewatchables pod and I enjoy it when it is bill, Chris Ryan and fennessy but damn fenessey is such a soy factory that it is almost hard to take. The guests are ok some of the time. Jemele hill as a guest was awful though.

I mean I can’t say he’s never voted Democrat but he is a republican. Just loves bashing Trump which I assume is the only reason he’s able to still come on.
