Episode 52: Bill Needs a Sabbatical to Refuel His Creative Juices; Russillo Keeps Ascending, Why the JJ Beef, and What’s Bill’s Next Move After This Contract? Plus, the First r/BS Pod Parent Corner


Listen Later

That's right — a four and a half hour podcast. Call the r/BS Pod the evolutionary JRE. We bring back Smug (@SmugFecundity on Twitter) for his 3rd appearance, after the legendary Epic, Definitive 4-Hour Bill Simmons Career Retrospective (Episode 25), the most popular r/BS Pod episode (1100 listens) besides the Harry & Meghan reaction pod that got picked up by UK media.

For the first part of the pod we talk Bill Simmons current events: Why has the BS Pod gone downhill of late, does Bill need a refresh to bring back his creative juices, why Russillo keeps ascending, and what was the reason for the JJ beef? This is classic r/BS Pod content from one of our Mount Rushmore guests.

In part two (starting at 1 hour and 32 minutes in) we get wonkier - Smug is a father of SEVEN children and we have our first ever r/BS Parent Corner. Bill has taken us inside the life of being a parent for the last decade and 3 quarters, and that has picked up lately with his daughter off to college. We discuss Bill's feelings and then get into parenting in general - Bill is an avatar for parenting in the current age - and why Smug believes people should not only be having kids, but having big families, jiving with Bill's recent comments that he wished he had more kids. This is content that non-BS Pod fans can enjoy.

We also hit on the ascendence of Noah Eagle over Al Michaels and ask who's public persona is more true vs. their actual self, Bill or Dave Portnoy.
