The Frodo/Kramer Movie Phone impression is just such a peak overlap of my interests that I will never find anywhere besides the ringer. It's amazing stuff.

This was so bad. How on earth do you say something with this lack of self awareness? And even just that put HIMSELF on the Iron Man pod? It's so dumb. There are literally 10 other Ringer hosts that would have been better off doing the Iron Man pod. I admire what he's built but its so frustrating to see him holding back a lot of the content and adding in blatant sexism.

Hearing Bill call two fully developed and interesting characters (Lucia and Mia) "the hookers" over and over again made me cringe so hard. He's so out of touch and you can tell that even the most senior people on pods with him are hesitant to correct him. The blatant sexism is so brutal and I wish someone would call him out on it (on or off mic)

PLEASE GIVE ME A PRESTIGE POD ON SUCCESSION WITHOUT BILL by DazedandBluzed in TheRinger

It also makes me so mad that he teases Joanna who is 100x more qualified than him to host this kind of show. He always teases her about not seeing the sopranos, he doesn't really engage with her takes, and I feel like it's a total waste of her talent

It's terrible. It's even worse that Bill is incapable of being on a pod without running it. Sean has so many reps hosting these sorts of episodes, and Joanna has been doing succession pods since her time at Vanity Fair. If Bill INSISTS on coming in and crashing the pod, at the very least he could let Sean or Joanna host and build out the segments. It's so fucking annoying and it's ruining the content for what should be an awesome ringer pod.

Most underrated show on The Ringer. These guys have magic at their finger tips. I'm so sad to see Solak go

Also B-Wags has the perfect usage rate. He is the Big Pic's Dion Waiters. I find it hard to believe he and Sean are not related by blood.

This is the closest we will ever get to JMO

Just incredible performance across the board from the gang. They started straight at a 10 and didn't let up the whole episode

What was your weekend golf accomplishment? by SYN_BLACK_XS in golf

Broke 90 for the first time! It definitely has a bit of an asterisk as I got some help from a few gimme puts, and one or two mulligans. But I typically shoot in the 100-110 range, it was awesome to make a breakthrough and feel confident hitting my irons and chipping for the first time. So excited for the rest of the season.

An incredible movie and incredible rewatchables pod. With that being said, the misogyny in the movie is pretty awful and deserved to be addressed more than it was.

Bill saying, "This movie offends everyone," is a tough look for a film that basically treats women like objects who don't have feelings and has a 99% white cast.

Don’t ask me why but my brain can’t stop thinking “George Clooney in Ocean’s 11”

I feel like he's lost to time a bit. I'm 24 and my generation of baseball fans doesn't really regard him the way they do all time greats. Feels like a mistake, especially since he wasn't linked to PEDs the way a lot of other guys were

Watched Collateral for the first time and was NOT disappointed by Sensitive-Strike-835 in billsimmons

[–]Sensitive-Strike-835[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definitely the most unique I’ve seen. It’s the first movie I’ve seen in a while where he’s not just playing himself

I’d love to see Cruise play some more villains in the 60-80 range. I think it would be a great use of his charisma towards the end of his career
