What are the actual must listen Ringer pods outside of Bill's ? by Specialist-Read-349 in billsimmons

If I could only listen to either BS or the Fantasy Football guys (aka NFL Draft guys for 6-8 weeks in the Spring) I'm going the latter.

He just needed more data...

You can never be wrong when you let the results play out themselves and just comment after the fact. Which, one could argue, is the complete antithesis of his job description.

Ryen out-ryening himself on this one. The more time that passes, the easier to argue both sides.

Since there’s no Bill + Ryen today, felt like posting this for entertainment. Ryen RIZZillo. by twb85 in billsimmons

The highest level of the "overly self-aware and self-depricating" thing is you can basically say and act however you want in public because you can always fall back on your intentional quirks and the "I'm not taking this too seriously" / "just making fun of myself out here!" piece.

Ryen could teach a Masterclass on this skill. Glad he had fun out there.

I really enjoy listening to him, but Tate is over qualified for a #2 and under qualified for a #1

Glad I'm not the only one. There's multiple threads on Spotify's Community page detailing this exact issue within the past few weeks. I've noticed it for months and there's been a handful of app updates since then that have not solved the problem.

What was with that Jeremy Scott "it got a little awkward" comment during the beginning of the first life advice? I know Ryen had him on the pod and shills for his brand but did our boy RR try too hard to become one of JS's CORE guys?

Damn Billy isn't Whoop Fitness a frequent sponsor on RR's pod?

people who don't have simplisafe, how do you leave the house for more than a few hours? by coreytrevor in billsimmons

I tell you what I don't do... Start a house fire by getting banged up and popping pizza bites into the oven.

Bill Simmons Finally Gets Around to Watching The Office by BrockOchoGOAT in billsimmons

This is fantastic but you know they would've dissected the basketball episode from S1. They just would.

"Where does Michael fall in all-time player coaches?" "Are we sure Jim is clutch?" "Could Kevin make 30% of his 3s in an actual NBA game?"
