Wos is a blast. Insert him anywhere and he cooks. Cmon Bill. Drop him on a Rewatchable!

Ryan Rousillo

bill is the best. i feel bad that his "friend" Ryan panders to the muppets on social media that dislike bill simmons; constantly making fun of bill for being exactly who bill has been for 50 years.

Also Ryan acting holier than thou because he is embarrassed to be from Massachusetts is also cringeworthy.

Review

I was logging on to ridicule your defense of pro Celtic calls and Simmons old white man takes but it appears I’m not alone. Ditto with your family appearances; they are boring.
