That’s who are submitting though

I love how the Ringer NFL Show spent the opening 30 minutes of their last pod discussing how the Julio thing was most likely real unless it was masterfully orchestrated and then Ryen just laughed at how fake it was on this one

Almost certain that the on-air person who Ryan and Ceruti were referring to was Skip Bayless, but would love to hear your guys thoughts on who it might be

They said it's someone Ryen has done a few shows with. I don't think he's ever done a show with Skip. Also, as big a dbag as skip is, bragging to PAs about what celebs he can call doesn't seem like Skip's version of douchebaggery. Plus, Ryen has never been shy about calling out Skip by name.
This also seems like a thing that someone who isn't all that famous would do to be able to brag about how plugged in they are. Skip is famous enough it just doesn't seem like he'd need to try that hard to prove it to people. This whole thing was also brought up by Ceruti, not Ryen, and I don't think Ceruti was ever involved in anything Skip did. There is just nothing about that story that makes me think it's Skip.

Pretty sure Ryen did some episodes of First Take back in the day, but refused to play along with the “hot take” game, and was therefore not invited back for a while/possibly forever. That always seemed to be where his Skip dislike stemmed from, though there certainly are other factors as to why he openly dislikes Skip, mainly the unwarranted LeBron hate. As for Ceruti, I think they rotate producers around often, especially for covering shifts, wouldn’t surprise me at all to hear that Ceruti was in the control room for a few first take shows. As for Skip and his douchebaggery, he certainly is famous enough that he wouldn’t have to, but I wouldn’t put anything past that man.

Skip just doesn't seem like the kind of guy who gives a crap if his co-workers like him. And I feel like if it were skip Ryen would have no issue calling him out. The fact that they were so coy about who it was makes me think it's someone Ryen wouldn't want to burn a bridge with. Ryen has already publicly put Skip on blast for other behind the scenes stuff, so I just don't see why he'd be coy about it now. Nothing about that story screamed Skip to me. Maybe I'm wrong, he just seems like too easy/obvious of a suspect for ESPN dbag.

Yea I could see that, super curious to know who it would be if not Skip though, Ryen is very careful about that stuff but I’d like to be able to pick up on it just from the context clues

Rick Mahorn was as delightful as I hoped after seeing him in The Detroiters

What was Cerudi’s failed pod he mentioned a couple pods ago?

Scals and Pals with Brian Scalabrine

Mahorn was awesome

The life advice segments are getting stupid as fuck - like bro just tell your friend about it or don’t, it’s not that difficult

The skinny jokes are technically "offensive" but as a skinny, in-shape guy, I don't care. It just seems like somehow the bigger guys like Ryen are a little insecure (for whatever reason) so they make snidey remarks on 6'1" 175 guy by saying he doesn't eat much or whatever. It's fine. As soon as one of us slimmer guys makes fun of blown up guys for not having conditioning, they lose it haha. We gotta just let them talk. The male ego shatters at specific pressure points so it's not always worth it to fire back and ruin someone's day.

I mean yeah being 6-1 230 with a big guy but some biceps really isn’t someone is healthy shape

Who fucking cares dude.

this is a Russillo sub. We dig into things we don't really care about. That's the tone of half the pods, man.

No I’m saying you’re as soft as baby wipes if you think being called skinny is offensive.

The Julio monologue is terrible. Clearly knew absolutely nothing about the situation. What was the point?

that first life advice was made up
Was this the gym friend guy who’s wife cheated on him? Why do you think made up
The net worth thing had me thinking that right off the bat
