Hello SmartLess, my old friend- we’ve come to talk with you again. We’ve got diamonds on the soles of our pod this week, baby angels; It’s Paul Simon. And when it comes to name-drops, in Paul’s words: “I can give you John Lennon, but I can not give you Mao Zedong.”

October 02, 2023 "Bill Simmons"
We go head-to-head with the wise and opinionated Bill Simmons (podcaster, sportswriter, cultural critic, founder of The RInger). And yes, we go deep: Jason gets to talk baseball, Will gets to talk soccer, and Sean dives into the psychology of sport. With a guest like this, we’re willing to pay a luxury tax for this week’s game.
