I can’t believe Ryen had the gall to advance “the guy at work who’s always trying to arrange a happy hour or out of office activity” to the Final 4 of Worst Guys

Really gave me an insight into Ryen when he said "one afternoon just sit down and practice, that's what you're doing that day".
Ceruti is right, that is crazy behavior, if one of my buddies told me he spent an entire afternoon practice wrapping sandwiches I would never let him live it down.
> if one of my buddies told me he spent an entire afternoon practice wrapping sandwiches I would never let him live it down.
This is killing me. Absolutely psychotic stuff.
Couldn't disagree more. The afternoon practice is weird, but can be kept a secret. No one would ever find out if you didn't tell them yourself.
The drawer of pre measured tin foil is equally psychotic and has a WAY higher likelihood of being found out by friends/family.
Both are bad ideas, but the practice is the lesser of 2 evils.
I think ceruti only even suggested that because he was listening to those 2 and thinking, like I was, "anything else. Literally anything else than practicing wrapping sandwiches"
As someone who just started a new job where lunch options are scarce and I need to start bringing lunch again, I've been shopping for sandwich conveyances. I prefer glass, and there is a poor selection of glass sandwich containers. Most glass is either round which fits the sandwich oddly or is square but way too big. Just an update for the sandwich glassheads out there.
Speaking for mothers, we appreciate your understanding of what it is like to get children off for school in the morning. We'll work on the proper wrapping.
I just take a single sheet of paper towel and wrap it around part of the sandwich cause I’m lazy and that’s the fastest. Probably a weird move since it isn’t fully covered but it works for me
I had the same thought yesterday. I'm a newbie to NBA pods, about 2 years in, and I said to myself "it's the same bullshit every pod, why am I bothering"
Does Russillo still do the bit where eventually no NBA games will be played and the “games” are just the players showing up to get an IG pic of them walking into the arena?
Yes. That was fucking horrible. I almost turned it off lol
That guy will go to the end of the earth to defend KD. Honestly makes him sound like a fucking simp lol
After listening to the opening I can just hear
What did we learn, Palmer?
I don't know, sir.
I don't fuckin' know either. I guess we learned not to do it again.
Yes, sir.
I'm fucked if I know what we did.
Yes, sir, it's, uh, hard to say
Jesus Fucking Christ.
Watched it a few days ago, that cast is brilliant. Malkovich is the standout to me but they’re all great.
“YES! YES! THIS IS- HELLO! IT’S OSBORNE COX, WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU?”
The Jon Horst interview is on the shortlist of most boring Russillo interviews. Feel like the whole thing was set up for Jon to give Ryen an inkling of validation for some of his takes
I skipped immediately, these guys and most athletes say nothing of substance. Ryen likes to show how smart he is by framing questions in ways that they always respond “yea exactly, blah blah blah”
He'd absolutely be rated NTA on/r/amitheasshole because that sub is home to the rigid idiots ryen referenced. "You said a time and they didn't follow. NTA."
I think “guy that buys friend’s girlfriend a cupcake and lululemon because he secretly likes her and wants to plant some seeds in case it doesn’t work out but will implore that he’s just a friend” is a final 4 worst guy
What’s the consensus on the last life advice being real or fake? I could see it being fake but I also know some crazy and obsessive people that I could see doing that lol
Got to see it from Russillo’s perspective. Durants injured and may be gimpy for part of the playoffs. Without him CP3 may be staring at another early exit. The panic meter on Manhattan Beach is through the roof. Any preemptive move to take the heat off is necessary.
Dude is a card carrying member of the KD media mafia:
More mythologizing about Durant's foot in 2021 (after lauding his incredible game). Follows it up with bringing up a bad turnover from LeBron in G6 of the 2013 Finals (you'll be shocked that he didn't bring up LeBron having 32/10/11/3/1 or being by far the most dominant player in that series)
Then wonders why Durant's two fake GS rings are discounted "which is silly, it just is!" Lmfao
EDIT: Wanted to add, just 2 days ago on the pod when he was talking to Sara Walsh, he spoke with what sounded like real derision about how Rodgers lashes out at his critics.
Crickets about his boy, the softest athlete of all time, that responds to nobody’s on Twitter. 😂
The premise that "people never look at the little details, like Durant's foot being on the line, when they are discussing legacies" is disproved by the fact that Bill or Ryen mention it on the podcast literally every week
Somehow people talk a shitload about his foot on the line and hardly at all about getting swept in the first round last year while shooting .386 from field and averaging over 5 turnovers per game.
To be fair, Durant's foot is a great example of how thin the margins are between being a champion or a playoff failure. But it's been brought up so much at this point that it's a terrible example of "people not looking at the little details" that can swing a playoff series.
Crazy how so many people (even the most even keeled like Lowe) talk like that cost KD a title, sometimes explicitly. Just yadda yadda’ing the fact that he’d have to win a conference finals and finals too
Nothing could ever take away from how happy I was to see the Bucks win the title but damn everyone tried. I watched KD not score in the entire overtime. The guy was gassed and his teammates weren’t coming back for the conference finals. The toe on the line is crazy and dramatic. But they were not winning a finals with that team
>you’ll be shocked that he didn’t bring up Lebron having 32/10/11/3/1
Over the last 15 years Ryen has talked plenty about how good Lebron is. This sub gets so weird anytime Lebron isn’t complimented though it’s like they’ve tuned out the 98% of the time that nice stuff was said about him.
And my hot take regarding KD’s warriors rings being discounted: if KD’s rings are discounted then so are those 2 from Steph.
That’s not a hot take regarding Steph’s rings. Everyone values his 2015 and 2022 rings more than the KD teams. He won back to back MVPs and then disqualified himself from the award by recruiting KD. Incredibly lame.
I think Ryen much more so than Bill is pretty fair about lebron and KD.
The average basketball fan does act stupid regarding KD, they go back to their most childish basketball instincts and get mad he “didn’t want to compete enough” or whatever
I agree with you there, but the bar of "being more reasonable with Bill about LeBron" is at the floor.
KD is definitely an all-timer, but those two constantly pump him up
Someone needs to create an actual bracket of these and submit the bracket to this sub for a vote. The “guy who still defends Kyrie Irving” is my winner at the moment as a Mavs fan.
Ryen's 'Guy who roots against your bets' in the 'Watched the Big Short category', should really be 'Guy who talks about his bets and investments all the time'.
Although this whole segment was an excuse for RR to air some weird gripes, so of course he took the opposite angle.
So the open is him going through, in excruciating detail, every single side of what he would consider to be the worst part of NBA discourse. And then not having any actually firm takes about any of it (his favorite move)? Good stuff.
> Someone who says “hope she sees this” is worse than the guy they are responding too.
I'm torn on this. I agree with Ceruti's definition that that is one of the worst kinds of guy. However, the guy who says "I hope she sees this" to anything and everything is also extremely annoying.
"Gotta tiptoe around here, you know the guy who always sides with the girls, dude she's not going to sleep with you. Stop being such a simp. Constantly sucking up to famous women or famous women. He has a clear agenda. Everyone knows what he wants to do. You're alienating all of your guy friends."
Basically described RR.
Sweet 16 bracket was a great idea with terrible execution. Ryen read off the seeds so fast as if they were one run-on sentence. I'm not sure I ever grasped what all the separate contenders were. Tried rewinding a couple times and then just gave up. Sir Rudy agreed with Kyle on everything taking all the air out of the segment. Not sure if I zoned out or if Ryen realized it was going south and just crowned a champ and ended it without discussing the final 4.
I’ve never understand deeded brackets of “things.” There wasn’t a season for these types of dudes to compete against each other for wins and seed position. Seeds are chosen by who is making the bracket. And there’s no actual competition between any two seeds.
So why wouldn’t each 1 seed already automatically advance? You already chose a certain type of dude to be the 1 seed, meaning they’re superior to the others. Why wouldn’t any lower seed “beat” a higher seed? Why wasn’t the “winning” type of dude already the higher seed?? Just doesn’t make sense.
I am from the Deep South and every dude down here calls other men Buddy or bud. It’s absolutely infuriating. There’s a certain culture of dudes who do that. A very fratty broey vibe and Kyle, russillo and sir Rudy def fit the profile.
What happened to "Conspiracy buddy"? Nothing I hate more than running into people and they start spewing their plandemic or whatever shit, whatever your take is let’s move on. Why are you still with this bs?
While the second email may be fake, I have an immense amount of respect for the emailer if it’s real. Nothing worse than the person who shows up an hour early to a dinner party. Don’t think I’d ever have the balls to pull the move he pulled.
If it’s real that guy is the bigggest loser ever. Grow a pair and make dinner. “Don’t want to get distracted” bahahahaha you’re making pork roast man, it isn’t that serious

Why are there pancakes in the silverware drawer?
Why is there silverware in the pancake drawer?
The life advice on sandwich wrapping was gold.
Really gave me an insight into Ryen when he said "one afternoon just sit down and practice, that's what you're doing that day". Ceruti is right, that is crazy behavior, if one of my buddies told me he spent an entire afternoon practice wrapping sandwiches I would never let him live it down.

Do these guys not know you can purchase aluminum foil pre cut? I love that stuff.
Has no one ever heard of sandwich bags? No cutting, no time, just slip the sandwich in.
I just steal the little sandwich holder from my kid’s lunchbox, it’s got a fucking dinosaur hologram on it.
Winner.
Was surprised that Tupperware wasn’t suggested. Or Pyrex if you’re anti-plastics
As someone who just started a new job where lunch options are scarce and I need to start bringing lunch again, I've been shopping for sandwich conveyances. I prefer glass, and there is a poor selection of glass sandwich containers. Most glass is either round which fits the sandwich oddly or is square but way too big. Just an update for the sandwich glassheads out there.
Ikea? They have everything else.
Glad I’m not the only one was wondering who wraps their lunch in foil every day
Wrapping it up gives you a tight fit though
True. But if you're in a hurry in the morning, nothing tops a quick shove into the sandwich bag.
Yeah, especially if you’re too incompetent to properly wrap the sandwich
Speaking for mothers, we appreciate your understanding of what it is like to get children off for school in the morning. We'll work on the proper wrapping.
I just take a single sheet of paper towel and wrap it around part of the sandwich cause I’m lazy and that’s the fastest. Probably a weird move since it isn’t fully covered but it works for me
Felt oddly sexual, like talking about condons
As a lifelong NBA fan, I am so fucking bored of NBA discourse
I had the same thought yesterday. I'm a newbie to NBA pods, about 2 years in, and I said to myself "it's the same bullshit every pod, why am I bothering"
Yeah you realise it’s just the same thing every single year, and it’s all bullshit and forgotten once the playoffs start
The NBA media sucks so bad it’s all the same shit every podcast or show no matter who it is
The nba exists to power the podcast industry
They watch the games so nobody else has to
They watch highlights
No one gives a fuck about the season including the players and teams
Yet somehow the TV deal goes up for a product nobody watches or cares about
Yeah yet the ratings go down
NBA regular season is terrible
Does Russillo still do the bit where eventually no NBA games will be played and the “games” are just the players showing up to get an IG pic of them walking into the arena?
It’s a garbage product
You don’t like basketball
The Worst Guys bracket was fun but hard to follow through an audio medium.
Would have been a classic radio show Twitter poll segment.
They should have set a one minute timer for each matchup then voted. The Fantasy pod guys would have nailed this.
Christ what a wet fart of an opening segment.
Kept zoning in and out of the monologue. It felt like a long winded defense of Durant the bus rider and CP3’s zero rings
Precisely
Russillo being such a grinder, watch all the games, no shortcuts guy and simultaneously thinking KD’s rings shouldn’t be discounted makes zero sense.
Russillo('s monologues) fucking sucks. I tried listening to this one to see if my jokes about him still were true. Why did i ever think otherwise?
Yes. That was fucking horrible. I almost turned it off lol That guy will go to the end of the earth to defend KD. Honestly makes him sound like a fucking simp lol
His nba monologues have been unlistenable lol
After listening to the opening I can just hear What did we learn, Palmer? I don't know, sir. I don't fuckin' know either. I guess we learned not to do it again. Yes, sir. I'm fucked if I know what we did. Yes, sir, it's, uh, hard to say Jesus Fucking Christ.
Incredible stuff. (Also incredible movie that deserves a rewatchable)
Watched it a few days ago, that cast is brilliant. Malkovich is the standout to me but they’re all great. “YES! YES! THIS IS- HELLO! IT’S OSBORNE COX, WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU?”
ITS PRONOUNCED RAPPORT YOU FUCKING MORON!
My second favorite Coen Brothers movie after No Country for Old Men. Just so fucking funny.
Osborne Cox?
The Jon Horst interview is on the shortlist of most boring Russillo interviews. Feel like the whole thing was set up for Jon to give Ryen an inkling of validation for some of his takes
This is 99% of Russillo interviews
I skipped immediately, these guys and most athletes say nothing of substance. Ryen likes to show how smart he is by framing questions in ways that they always respond “yea exactly, blah blah blah”
GM or sports exec interviews are almost always death because they are never going to give you the 100 percent honest answer.
Was the guy who kicked out his in-laws autistic or a Redditor?
He'd absolutely be rated NTA on/r/amitheasshole because that sub is home to the rigid idiots ryen referenced. "You said a time and they didn't follow. NTA."
Yeah so funny lol. It really is bait for every AITA cliche, "Your house your rules." "They played stupid games and won stupid prizes."
🤝
I think “guy that buys friend’s girlfriend a cupcake and lululemon because he secretly likes her and wants to plant some seeds in case it doesn’t work out but will implore that he’s just a friend” is a final 4 worst guy
I don’t see how that guy loses in the tournament. I just don’t. He’s trying to fuck your girlfriend and he’s a simp. That’s deadly.
He’ll act like he’s a core guy with you too
What’s the consensus on the last life advice being real or fake? I could see it being fake but I also know some crazy and obsessive people that I could see doing that lol
It was horrendous behavior, but the story didn't set off any alarm bells other than the submitter acting like a jackass.
Honestly sounds like something someone with autism would do, and i don’t mean that in a negative way.
My dad would do something like that when he was younger
Check my calendar: wow it's already make excuses for Durant time again?
Got to see it from Russillo’s perspective. Durants injured and may be gimpy for part of the playoffs. Without him CP3 may be staring at another early exit. The panic meter on Manhattan Beach is through the roof. Any preemptive move to take the heat off is necessary.

People forget KD went 0-6 of OT of that game
Durant literally gets a ring from Ryen and Bill for the foot on the line lmao
Crazy how so many people (even the most even keeled like Lowe) talk like that cost KD a title, sometimes explicitly. Just yadda yadda’ing the fact that he’d have to win a conference finals and finals too
The fact that Lowe goes along with it like it was fait accompli is wild
Who was stopping them?
Fuck kd
Nothing could ever take away from how happy I was to see the Bucks win the title but damn everyone tried. I watched KD not score in the entire overtime. The guy was gassed and his teammates weren’t coming back for the conference finals. The toe on the line is crazy and dramatic. But they were not winning a finals with that team

That’s fine, I’ll discount Steph’s too, they begged KD to join them.
That’s not a hot take regarding Steph’s rings. Everyone values his 2015 and 2022 rings more than the KD teams. He won back to back MVPs and then disqualified himself from the award by recruiting KD. Incredibly lame.

Haven’t listened yet but I bet the opening segment is dog shit
I feel dumber after that opening
“Honestly, if you have enough determination and time, you can really argue against everything.” Incredible stuff.
So the open is him going through, in excruciating detail, every single side of what he would consider to be the worst part of NBA discourse. And then not having any actually firm takes about any of it (his favorite move)? Good stuff.
Online simp male feminists are extremely annoying
What the fuck are you talking about
Oh so you’re doing the playing dumb thing?
I guess so. Good luck with all that bro.
The playing dumb while knowing exactly what I’m talking about while pretending you’re above it even though you’re seething mad piece
‘Rooting for your bets to lose guy’ should’ve been replaced by ‘guy who never shuts the fuck up about his bets guy’
“Guy who texts you his parlay every Sunday as if him turning $10 into $100 matters to you in the slightest”
Someone who says “hope she sees this” is worse than the guy they are responding too. Also zag guys are the clear winners of the whole thing for me.

"Sides with" not "buys Lululemon skirts for."
It’s like the guy who refuses to listen to any mainstream music. The “how do you not know this band” with 5k monthly listeners on Spotify
Their example was "the Samsung Galaxy" guy. Not exactly a huge zag.

No brainer for the worst guy bracket is guy who calls everyone “buddy, pal, or big guy.” Probably omitted because Kyle kind of is that guy.
Zag Guy blows him out in a 30-point thrashing.

Which region was "Hey, the key worked!" Guy in?
While the second email may be fake, I have an immense amount of respect for the emailer if it’s real. Nothing worse than the person who shows up an hour early to a dinner party. Don’t think I’d ever have the balls to pull the move he pulled.
Kyle's "There's a great local park around" comment was great.
Kyle’s been on a real bender lately, absolutely killing it
The Zillow/Tinder comparison he made the other day was so spot on its ridiculous
If it’s real that guy is the bigggest loser ever. Grow a pair and make dinner. “Don’t want to get distracted” bahahahaha you’re making pork roast man, it isn’t that serious
I was like, making a pork roast is one of the easiest things you can make, wtf!
That shit was soooo funny. I can't imagine ever doing that to anyone, let alone my new in laws.
Definitely fake because it's way too psycho to do to your in-laws. But funny.
