will check it out, thanks!FWIW, you should check out the Kermode and Mayo Film Review podcast (taken from their Friday afternoon BBC radio show). Serious reviews and interviews, but loads of silly stuff and recurring gags - it's a great listen.

(In case the video doesn't start when it should, go to 1:10...and replace "hair" with "submarines & islands.")I just finished the Rewatchables episode on Raiders of the Lost Ark, and I can't believe nobody asked how Indy managed to get to and then off of the island where the Ark is put on display. Getting there involves hitching a ride on the exterior of a German U-boat which might submerge at any moment, and/or which would have sailors coming on deck all the time to keep watch when not submerged. Then, how do they get off the island with the Ark? Did every last German on the island - including everyone at the naval base who didn't see God incarnate with their own eyes - get melted and vaporized as well? And even if they did, what, does Indy just radio for help and secure a plane or ship ride out of there while nobody in Berlin notices that they've lost contact with their secret naval base? I love the movie, but that's a bad job by them to not talk about this.
Which podcast?Fennesey’s and Ryan’s interview with Tarantino about the Once Upon a Time book and other stuff is really fun and fascinating for film fans.
They are absolutely great. There's nothing better than an entitled Yankees fan spouting off 25 minutes of bullshit while Simmons gently pokes him to continue the performance.I find few things more entertaining than a good "JackO is really frustrated with the Yankees, lets call him up!" podcast.
My only qualm is I miss the old days when Simmons would (presumably) just call him at work.They are absolutely great. There's nothing better than an entitled Yankees fan spouting off 25 minutes of bullshit while Simmons gently pokes him to continue the performance.

Yeah, it was a funny bit even if I think it was kind of a work since somehow Jack O always had 50 minutes to talk to his buddy Bill when he was at work.Complex litigation, this is John.
I'd remind you that this site's members include dozens of lawyers who somehow make time every day to post, often many times per day...Yeah, it was a funny bit even if I think it was kind of a work since somehow Jack O always had 50 minutes to talk to his buddy Bill when he was at work.
He (at least used to) work for the great state of Connecticut in the legal department of an agency I'm blanking on now. A law school buddy interned there years ago. He told me that there would be instances where Simmons would call and JackO would tell him to call back, but those didn't make the air for obvious reasons.Yeah, it was a funny bit even if I think it was kind of a work since somehow Jack O always had 50 minutes to talk to his buddy Bill when he was at work.
Yep. It's basically just the film version of the podcast that was produced a few years back - it covers a lot of the same stories and people.
I don’t think so, I think next week.Is Sal back today? Please let it be
You know, this has not aged well.I've followed Jonah Keri for years on Twitter, and maybe no one is more down to riff with you on some joke. Seems a thoroughly decent guy. Interesting he hasn't responded to that very friendly joke that points out "you're ripping me off!"
Also pretty rough.I'm probably more partial to Simmons than most on this site but yeah there's no defense for this. It's the absolute worst of his personality and to Jonah Keri of all people who seems like the nicest, happiest guy in all of sports media.
This, on the other hand, has aged better.See, that's different. That's a loving homage. What Jonah Keri did is outright stealing and he deserves to be put to death, or worse.
Man, that guy was so full of himself, too.You know, this has not aged well.
Seriously. That was pretty solid VagueBooking by Kliq there.What happened?
Good to know you are pettier than I am because I was going to search for these and thought, you know what, I’ll let it go. I’m cracking up that you did this.You know, this has not aged well.
Yes, the thread title was mocking Bill for punching down at Jonah for using the Trade Value column idea without permission. I think it might be a good idea to no longer have that as the thread title given what we now know about Jonah.I think he’s referring to the Jonah Keri domestic violence guilty plea; the thread title was, I recall, inspired by a Twitter war between Keri and Simmons. Admittedly, that’s a deep cut.
The thread title derives from Simmons calling out Jonah Keri for "stealing" the trade value column trope Simmons would do annually for basketball and which Keri used for baseball. The issue is that Keri just pled guilty to horrific domestic violence charges against his wife and child. We might be better off not glibly referencing the silly argument between Keri and Simmons, I am guessing.What happened?

It pains to me admit how much I enjoyed it.A Simmons podcast, an interview with Peyton Manning, just posted. Can't verfify its listenability, but I'm guessing its going to be pretty good.
It was great. Definitely listen.A Simmons podcast, an interview with Peyton Manning, just posted. Can't verfify its listenability, but I'm guessing its going to be pretty good.
Man , this just led me to read up on that whole thing more. The Mannings are really garbage people.Am I the only one who heard he was interviewing Peyton and wondered if he would do a pal-around with Ben Roethlisberger? Both were credibly accused of sexual assault.
The extent that Peyton has gotten to skate on being a "good guy" despite those allegations and the the much less serious but still cruddy allegations that he's a steroid cheat (not that big a deal in the NFL) and blamed it on his wife.
I agree and his indiscretions need to be brought up more often.Am I the only one who heard he was interviewing Peyton and wondered if he would do a pal-around with Ben Roethlisberger? Both were credibly accused of sexual assault.

I'm sure it's extremely entertaining. Manning is charming and funny.I agree and his indiscretions need to be brought up more often.
I did listen to the podcast and enjoyed it, though.
That's not Bill's fault though.The thread title derives from Simmons calling out Jonah Keri for "stealing" the trade value column trope Simmons would do annually for basketball and which Keri used for baseball.

Of course not and I did not imply it was. The posts here were about whether the old thread title was appropriate in light of Keri’s crimes. I do not think anybody assigns Bill fault here.That's not Bill's fault though.

This is in the top 8 of Bill’s crimes.In keeping with the fairness level of this thread, it is definitely Bill’s fault Jonah did what he did.
Is it his worst crime or the one he took the most social media heat aboutBut is it apex mountain?
