Full Episode
Bill Simmons podcast brought to you by FanDuel Sportsbook. We are also brought to you by the Ringer Podcast Network, where... We have a new episode of the Prestige TV podcast. Second to last episode of Task. Me and Joanna Robinson broke it down and then she interviewed the showrunner, Brad Inglesby. This was an action-packed episode to say the least.
So you can watch that on the Ringer TV YouTube channel as well. We have new rewatchables coming for you on Monday. We did Sneakers. We're still doing Robert Redford Month. We had an argument actually whether this is... The most popular Redford movie in 2025. Not the most popular ever, but right now, do the most people like this movie over any other movie. Really fun movie to talk about.
It was me and it was Joanna Robinson and Kyle Brandt. So you can get ready for that on Monday night. Find that on the Ring of Movies YouTube channel as well. Coming up on this podcast, Cousin Sal and I are going to break down A pretty mundane week six. This was definitely the, we're in the doldrums of the season, but there are a lot of fun storylines to talk about. MVP playoffs, Drake May.
And then we had a special guest for Parent Corner. Our cousin, Jimmy Kimmel, came on to talk about his eight-year-old son, who is an absolute maniac. We talked about a bunch of stuff with him at the tail end of the podcast. So it is all next. We're going to take a break and bring in Pearl Jam. And then Cousin Sal.

Worst start to finish day of football we've had. I'm not going to argue. I love football. You get sad. This is right around when you start getting sad about four weeks from now when you really actually start getting sad. Okay. You're like, oh no. Oh my God, Thanksgiving's coming up. Oh, we're halfway. I'm not going to complain too much, but this was not a good day in football. It really wasn't.
No, it wasn't. I was almost thinking that now I know the purpose of the London game. Have two quarterbacks that are so bad that it distracts you from the slew of bad quarterbacks in the 1 p.m. games. And it's like, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's sure that, you know, yeah, Dylan Gabriel has negative air yards in the first half. But did you see Knicks against Fields? That was awful. Yeah.
I don't know anymore. So it's like when they bring a sorbet taster at a restaurant, but the sorbet tastes like poop.
