Welcome to Episode 12! We are back with another instant reaction pod following a glorious Hawks comeback in the 4th quarter in Boston. Trae Young hit huge 3s en route to scoring the final 14 Hawks points. We discuss what this means for the series and predict Bill's takes on the next pod - will he blame Tatum at all? Is there a "who's the alpha?" situation developing with Brown an...

We react to the epic Jimmy Buckets game, how Bill absolutely nailed “Zombie Heat”, the tremendous r/BillSimmons reaction, and finish up discussing if Bill really did call neighborhood watch like one Twitter user stated.

He's had almost no business success for two decades now, and the Mavs organization is starting to see similar results.

Next we discuss how universally hated the recent Russillo pod was - is th...

Welcome to Episode 5! We're back with a classic 3-man weave. We start on the incredible find of the Mina Kimes at Yale article - with that and Ryen's high school yearbook, is r/BillSimmons having a moment? We then examine how that article along with Bill's Page 2 columns provide a fun and wonky time capsule into the mid-2000s, also proven by the interest in the ReReadables on the sub. People are s...

Welcome to Episode 4! We start off with a discussion on the state of r/BillSimmons. What is causing the increase in posts on the sub discussing the sub itself, including certain sub "characters", rather than Bill or the podcast?
