Welcome to Episode 45! Michael from Twitter, a fellow Page 2 Bill stan, joins the show to talk all things Bill Simmons and the BS Pod.
We first review the recent Gladwell pod - these are really going to happen quarterly now? Oh no. Next Michael reveals the Russillo Pod has market corrected the BS Pod for him, and we talk how other podcasters are eclipsing Bill, especially if you're not NBA obsessed.
Next we talk how LA Pop Culture Guy doesn't have celebrities on, and - has KD blackballed him with NBA players?
We talk the Kevin Clark "trade" for Cousin Sal - what does it say about Bill and The Ringer that Kevin couldn't reach his full potential there? He's already crushing it at ESPN. Plus, Shea & Jason are doing a podcast, not at The Ringer. What happened with the union??
Then we discuss Dave Portnoy's recent Bill Simmons comments and discuss what would happen if they did a pod together.
Next, why has Bill done a complete 180 on analytics, when he was early to them in the late-2000s, even going to the MIT Sloan Analytics Conference, where he led panels and nicknamed Morey "Dork Elvis."
Finally, we discuss what we miss about Bill: He rarely banters and he doesn't want to spar anymore. And that hurt him on Any Given Wednesday, which we once again assess for how bad it was.
