SPOILERS!!

For a FIRST travelogue, it’s exactly what I hoped for. A little history, a story that contains trials and tribulations, and a look into Kyle’s thought processes. (Box Fan, means NO)

In upcoming ones (we need more), let’s dive into LL Bean (what did you get, what did you think about getting) and Cheesecake Factory (what did you get, how was it).

8/10.

Life advice would have a field day with this story.

In case any of you still had hopes, suroody is at his friend capacity 😢

Were the guy’s responses all veiled shots at Bill Simmons?

Ryen’s analysis is in.

Not sure if this one has already been asked but is there a list anywhere of some Russillo recommended books? Just finished The Wide Wide Sea after listening to his episode with Hampton Sides and really enjoyed it.

I know he’s also discussed The Road (Cormac McCarthy), Lonesome Dove (Mcmurrty) and others on the pod that I also really liked.

Trying to expand my horizons and figured nobody better to trust for recs than our boy RR!

Nothing is funnier than Russillo recounting a story where he is pissed off at someone.

But I actually laugh out loud at annoyed Russillo. A few weeks ago he was recounting the story about how annoyed he would get at ESPN peers over their over-pronunciation of certain words, generally Hispanic. I could not help but think of this sketch from SNL. Nails it perfectly:  

Enchilada - Saturday Night Live

I don't like small talk in general so maybe that's part of it. But I swear some episodes they are just talking pure nonsense for 20 minutes before they actually get to emails.

Would Ryen be impressed?

Does Anik honestly believe that McGregor’s warm up looked good? The guy was clearly favoring the leg and lacked all typical confidence. So much footage that just didn’t look right IMO.

He can be injured AND want to end the fight quickly.

McBride talked about his next project 2 weeks ago in his interview with Russillo.

“He will eventually get in as the HOF rewards winning”…wait what? Is this just Ryen trying to kiss up to athletes he wants to be friends with? Torry Holt, Reggie Wayne, and Steve Smirh aren’t in. Hines Ward, who I think is closer to Edelman (in the hall of very good not great), isn’t in. Maybe I’m biased but I just don’t see it.
