Welcome to Episode 2 of The r/BillSimmons Podcast! In today's show we bring on r/BillSimmons contributor Eshwary (https://www.reddit.com/user/Eshwary/), who is joining us all the way from Ireland. We discuss how he became a Bill Simmons fan in Ireland, and what the general NBA fanhood scene is like over there (0:00-7:30). Next we get his take on The Ringer's NBA personalities, and what he thinks of Zach Lowe and KOC (7:30-14:30).
Next we discuss Ryen Russillo in depth - does the subreddit have him figured out or not? And what does Eshwary make of the Kyle/Ryen situation? (14:30-19:30). Eshwary then explains how he found the subreddit after the Sad Day in America Podcast, and we laugh about how Billisms are making their way into our everyday language (19:30-26:00).
We then talk more Ringer: why CR should be on more Ringer pods, why The Ringer has too many pods, and if the website is long for this world (26:00-33:00). We then talk some NBA with Eshwary giving his breakdown of The Book of Basketball, and then laugh about how Bill underrates LeBron and overrates KD (33:00-42:00).
To finish up, we go through some of Eshwary's best r/BillSimmons posts, including how Bill would do as a GM, before discussing his enjoyment of former podcasts about the subreddit. (42:00-end)
