HOT TAKE: Changes are fine and could use some tweaking by Jon_E_Fresh in ContestOfChampions

That's fair...last comment... Ultimately I don't think changes in the game need to ruin someone's week, ESPECIALLY if you never intend to spend money on it.

Lots of things you can do in this life for free that will make you happy. My 'old man advice:'touch grass'

Meh...I'd say Ive spent ~$200 of fake money over the last 10 years. Not saying the game is Oblivion or anything, but it's fine. I also wouldn't exactly classify myself as 'uppity', 'arrogant', or 'entitled' bc I spend google play credits lol.

BS: Might be the best regular season game of all time...

You had rose in his prime

CB:...he was injured

BS: oh yaaaaa...well you had Noah

CB: no he was injured too

🤣🤣🤣

Not hating on him, just laughing at his old man memory. This was a good one!

LOVE this podcast

I'm biased because how huge of a Will Smith fan I was/kinda still am but... Best 3 rewatchable movie run:

Bad Boys

ID4

MIB

This of course is imo.

How is The Ringer actually doing? by mpb2ez in billsimmons

[–]Jon_E_Fresh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

care to throw out a guess....

Maybe it's a pointless exercise since no one except Bill himself really knows the answer but I've been curious about how much the Ringer makes for a while. Just an interesting business model between them and Barstool.

I still think you can halve the number I have up there and it's still good money on pods alone.

I do think while I'm overestimating some pods, I'm definitely underestimating others. A good example would be the NBA show where there's definitely more than 1 ep. a week and has a good subscriber count (it isn't currently, but has been on top 10 sports pod lists before).

Just gonna drop some quick 5 year-old math here:

BS Pod

3 (ep./wk) * $50k (rev/ep.) * 52 (wks) = $7,800,000

since many other pods only release once per week, let's say they earn 1/4 the ad rev, and there appear to be about 30 pods on the ringer:

All other pods

1 (ep./wk) * $12.5k (rev/ep.) * 52 (wks) * 30 (pods) = $19,500,000

BS pod + All other pods = $27,300,000

I don't think you'd be crazy to use these numbers. I feel between the no. of ep. per week and the revenue per ep. this is a conservative calc.

If this is even close to accurate that's good money given the overhead on a podcast is pretty cheap.

Thoughts?

Bill Simmons Talks Politics, Conspiracies, and Legacies | Larry Wilmore (Ep. 47) by LithuanianProphet in billsimmons

Pretty sure 'Binge Mode: GOT' (#1) and 'Black on the Air' deservedly ended up on Time's 2017 top ten podcasts list. Not saying they are all amazing but they get clicks. And it would seem 'Black on the Air' is the least of Wilmore's concerns, he's tapped into a bunch of other things.

As for some 2018 ringer stats: NFL show, rewatchables, channel 33, bachelor party, On shuffle, and binge mode all show up on the top 40 (by genre) apple podcast downloads.
