Welcome to Episode 13! We bring back the OG crew of Tribe, Jokers and Pop for a classic three-man weave. This show is all about the NBA playoffs. We start with the East, where we still can’t believe Bill’s epic Zombie Heat take came true, and discuss Giannis and the Bucks performance. Next we dive into the Celtics-Hawks series - Atlanta ultimately lost, but Trae made Bill sweat there for a little bit. Philly fan Jokers sets the table for the Celtics-76ers series and the crew gives their series winner picks.

We then hop over to the West. There’s a lot on the line legacy wise for KD and Jokic in this series. Do the Subs have enough depth, and is the Suns chemistry a risk, including a “Who’s the Alpha” KD vs Book situation? After some discussion of how the Lakers and LeBron got it going, we give the floor to Golden State fan Pop for a Game 7 Kings-Warriors preview. We also give our picks for the winner of that game, and for who comes out of the West.

Hope you enjoy the pod, and follow us on Spotify and on Twitter @rbillsimmonspod! See you around the sub

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 and Tatum? Will Bill call for Mazzulla to be fired? Plus, we jump around to the other NBA playoff series and predict series winners.

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.

Welcome to the latest episode! We bring on u/tommydonny from the sub to get his take on a variety of Bill Simmons, BS Pod and r/BillSimmons topics:

Welcome to The r/BillSimmons Podcast! In this episode we start off talking how overrated Mark Cuban is. He's had almost no business success for two decades now, and the Mavs organization is starting to see similar results. Next, we review some of Bill's recent podcasts, including a very weak half-baked showing with Wildes and a bizarre week of Masters content. We then have a subreddit check-in where we discuss the BobWeir vs DaleCooperKupp ChatGPT debate and explain why BobWeir and Jokers have been banned from reddit. We finish off the show talking worst possible NBA playoff outcomes for Bill, and announce our feud with @TrillBroDude is officially over.

Thanks for listening and be sure to follow us on Twitter @rBillSimmonsPod!

Recently banned redditor Jokers is joined by Popinjay to discuss the 2022-23 Regular Season, hand out awards, and give a round 1 playoff preview.

Welcome to Episode 7! Bill had one of his best pods in years this week with the Ben Affleck and Matt Damon three-man weave. We discuss the pod, why we think it worked so well, and end up discussing the careers of both actors - who's on top now, what was Damon's Apex Mountain and did Damon have a disappointing career? Next we discuss how universally hated the recent Russillo pod was - is the sub turning on these episodes? Are the guys just bored? And how do basketball fans only hate on March Madness? We finish up discussing Bill's WNBA takes from the mid-2000s. Hope you enjoy and follow us on Twitter @rBillSimmonsPod!

Welcome to Episode 6 - we are hot after Sixers podcaster TrillBroDude has started using ReReadables on his show without any attribution to The r/BillSimmons Podcast! We've been posting ReReadables in the sub and on Twitter for months now. We have a variety of ideas on how TrillBroDude can make this right. We also finish with some more current r/BillSimmons events discussion.

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 shocked at how sex-obsessed Bill was, though that was somewhat a product of the times, as was the countdown clock for major female celebs reaching 18.

We then talk some NBA MVP and the absolutely insane comments by Bill that people should chill on MVP talk until the season ends. Should a player like Jokic win 3 in a row? Will Bill vote for Embiid to avoid being called racist? Has the NBA MVP race become too similar to the MLB race, too dependent on advanced stats? We #EmbraceDebate.

We discuss the epic return of Tate - who recently said he attended "Bill Simmons University" - to The Ringer, who, before his Arizona pick, was sporting a rare 100% approval rating in the sub. We finish up with a check-in on some current r/BillSimmons events.

We hope you enjoy and reach out to us on the sub or on Twitter at @rBillSimmonsPod! 

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? We provide our theories, and debate whether the sub needs additional moderation and what that could look like (0:00-24:00).

Next we discuss NBA Ratings guy and opine on how, contrary to those posts, the NBA is actually in a pretty good spot when compared to non-NFL sports and media (24:00-30:00). Then we comment on the recent Spotify article shared in the sub, "How Spotify's Podcast Bet Went Wrong," coupled with strange comments by Bill praising Apple in a recent "Where things are going in media" CNBC article. Just what is Bill's motivation here? (30:00-39:00).

Then we re-visit Bill's past TV gigs, focusing on Grantland Basketball Hour and NBA Countdown. Why didn't those shows work? Bill was handed the car keys to Countdown his 2nd season, but we theorize that Sage Steele brought down the show, while someone like Rachel Nichols would've been a better host (39:00-48:00).

We then look forward to Russillo and Bill season for NBA pods, also discussing how hilariously reactionary he was last NBA playoffs (48:00-57:00). Then we discuss the state of Bill's Playoff Gambling Manifesto and how bad of a gambler he likely is (57:00-1:04:00).

We finish the pod debating Rihanna's halftime performance - was it more Shaq on the Celtics or Jordan on the Wizards? Should she have accepted the gig? Why wasn't the show more flashy, or include guests? Each co-host has a different take (1:04:00-end).
