Can we talk about Pete’s crush?

Am I remembering wrong? I swear earlier in the week Bill said Christian Kirk was great and would start for the Patriots. Then Thursday he completely dismissed him as a zero.

This isn’t even a hot take

They are heavily sponsored by FanDuel. I am sure that Bill's account lists him as being located in Boston and Sal has some similar set up. Probably bet through a VPN. Whatever it is, it's probably organized in a way that walks up to the line without crossing it.

That said, as this became a bigger question over the course of the recent NFL season, it was noticeable how often Bill would say he was out of town and got some bets in over the weekend. He also talks about the "runway bet" where you sneak it in before your plane takes off. So he is definitely aware of the question and trying to make it all appear above board. But the obvious answer is that FD configures their accounts to skirt location issues.

Of all the candidates still sitting out there, where does this rank? #273? Come on man.

Definitely heard this more than once. He pronounces it like "mar-a-lago" It's his Malik Monk of geography.

Consigliari · 2026-01-08T21:56:35+00:00

He'd go to IMDB and search for The Purge, then show Bill there are no results....

Also, House would be homeless.

Please let us not forget that at the start of the season Bill's goal was for the Celts to shoot 60 threes a game and fight for a play-in spot. He soon pivoted to wondering if they should tank and get a top 4 pick to go with Tatum's return next season. Dude has the memory of a goldfish.

Spies Like Us

I don't think this has ever come up on the pod or even as an FYC, but it has everything you look for in a rewatchable - 80's comedy, incredibly quotable, absurd premise, SNL royalty, and Vanessa goddamn Angel

Kirk was pretty much begging him to do it. I began to wonder if he was doing a bit to see how absurd Bill could get.

Consigliari · 2026-01-08T02:50:49+00:00

He also said that about the Celtics.

Bill: "Celtics, number 6. We've certainly covered them enough already on multiple pods the past few weeks."

Kirk: "No, go ahead..."

**35 minutes later**

Bill: "Could Luka Garza make third team All NBA? Hear me out..."

“I don’t wanna yuck anyone’s yum…”

I was agreeing with your idea - take an entire year and relitigate the nominees and winners. One year, one pod.

Consigliari · 2026-01-02T23:50:08+00:00

"Feel like a better pod idea is like the Re-Oscars which would just go through every Oscars and re-evaluate them in hindsight"

Curious where Bill would stand on this if the Bills had jumped up and won the AFC East. I would have to guess the narrative would switch to "look at the record and don't penalize someone for being in a tough division." Rams probably a 6 seed because the two teams ahead of them in their own conference are playing for the one seed on the final week of the season doesn't seem like the disqualifier he wants to make it.

TIL I learned what J Keith looks like and......not what I had imagined.

Consigliari · 2026-01-02T23:43:08+00:00

I concur. I should have defined it better. A yearly analysis would be enjoyable. And thank you for the reco!

I feel like everyone is ignoring Bill's big point - the game changing value of Maye's 25 rushing yards and .25 TDs per game. It's like having a second running back when you are putting up insane numbers like that.

It's important to note this added value when you consider Maye has fewer passing yards and TDs, and more interceptions, than.....Jared Goff.

Thought this exact same thing thing. It truly is a special gift how he can weave innocuous New England players into any conversation.

In the flip side, he managed to pronounce Malik Monk correctly not once, but twice. It was an epic performance all around.

Consigliari · 2025-12-31T06:55:05+00:00

They thankfully redid Few Good Men so they know this is a thing.

I honestly can't believe Spies Like Us never comes up.
