r/RingerTailgate

It's kind of crazy the confluence of events that led to this:

- Bill in the early stages of his re-apex

- Russillo leaving the Ringer and a bunch of other personnel changes

- Tate had OSP rug pulled for multiple reasons I imagine but a lot of the pods were starting to pivot to video

- Joel joins the Ringer like a year prior and I hadn't really seen him on other pods as much

- Van was already all over the Ringer podcasts but he never really got to flex sports with his true passion being college football

- College football has never been crazier in the offseason with the NIL/Transfer portal and the fact that The Ringer had never tried a college football podcast was crazy

- Billy Gil comes in late

Let's fast forward to now:

- This might be Bill's most successful non-Bill sports podcast launch when it's all said and done

- Tate found a new gold mine hosting this and I love OSP... but this has a chance to be bigger. He looks like he is having the best time hosting and cracking jokes

- These guys are getting budget to go on the road and film content, bring on guests, etc

- Joel has become an MVP and has really been additive to not only Tailgate but Press Box as well

- Billy x Joel x Tate x Van is pairing is like lightning in a bottle marvel casting level good

Joel Anderson is the new Huell Howser (host of Californias Gold, IYKYK), and I mean that as a compliment. Everything he says makes me genuinely laugh and it’s usually not intentional on his part. His curiosity is so sincere. Love Joel and love Ringer Tailgate. Go Bruins!

I was over on r/TheRewatchables after listening to our boys on the Tropic Thunder rewatchables pod and man there are some haters on some hoe shit over there. Joel opening the pod wondering/complaining aloud why the pod wasn't happening at Bill's house with catering after wondering/complaining across multiple Tailgate episodes about why he hasn't been asked to be on the Rewatchables at all was the most on brand Joel move I laughed my ass off. The dynamic Joel and Van bring to literally any pod as a tag team is top tier must listen for me. If you dont like Joel I dont like you, man.

Shout out to Joel for being the best. Prediction he'll be in LA within 2 years...also can Van bring up the Jomi scenario to Joel. #cookiegate i think that convo would be hilarious 😂
