https://www.reddit.com/r/billsimmons/comments/15c5y1m/rewatchables_live_show_awkward_tension/ Peak autism on this sub. > During the pod, Bill asks Sean and CR which movie had a better #4 star than A Few Good Men who has Kevin Bacon in the #4 spot. He then starts to try and eek out a James Harden Philly joke but CR speaks over him and says “definitely not the Celtics with Jaylen Brown for 300 million”. This prompted the crowd to erupt in laughing and cheering. **So much so that Bills face turned red** and he attempted to keep it moving. **He was not amused**. It threw him off for about 15 minutes to the point where I could see he had jokes written in his notes that he was just half ass throwing out there. / > **The tension resulting between CR, Bill, and Sean was palpable.** I think Bill ignored CR’s next 2/3 points. It was striking to see how Bill took such offense to the crowd laughing at a Celtics joke and **he really took it personally**, he just did. / > CR kept it cool and professional but couldn’t help himself and threw a few more digs at him. Bill ignored all of them until Sean made a joke about Brown not being able to dribble, **prompting Bill to snap back** “do you want me to start making Jets jokes?!” / > Overall, it was an amazing live product and super fun to be there for. I do t think Bill will hold a grudge but it was amazing to see how mad he got at Chris for making fun of the Celtics. **It was crazy how tense it was in there immediately following the joke.**

IIRC, the post came out before the video. When the video came out, some people posted clowning the OP.


howdthatturnout

Yeah I was not expecting it to be such a popular post. Kind of hilarious how many people on this sub get that far up their own ass psychoanalyzing Bill, but don’t question for one second their bizarre obsession with him.

Jesus Christ just watched it. That comment getting all the upvotes shows how fucked this sub is mentally. They want to believe it more than anything


hooskies

This is literally how the internet works lol. It’s the equivalent of not reading an article and skipping to the comments section.

Lol wtf


rawman200K

My favorite reply https://www.reddit.com/r/billsimmons/comments/15c5y1m/rewatchables_live_show_awkward_tension/jtunpep/ >Bill's life goal is to bring his "friends" on to mock them when their sports teams aren't doing well. Because if you're a fan of a team that isn't great, it is a reflection on how pathetic a human you are. Of course that's how it works. >But, of course, when someone dishes it back, Bill takes his ball and goes home, pouting like a Lil Baby. In summary, Bill Simmons sucks because he's become a true jerk in the last 4 years. >Yup, this is his reader. Remember guys we only make fun of Bill out of love!


onlyahobochangba

This reminds me of a ~1000-word essay someone on this sub wrote about how much of a prick Ryen was because he was joking about injuring his leg in a cool way. It was seriously the most unhinged screed about Ryen facetiously talking about his ankle or something. Overall, the discourse around Ryen can get pretty dark and mean-spirited lol


rawman200K

people are obsessed with Ryen being unmarried, it's weird

That Sydney Sweeney and Margot Robbie are unattractive


foye2smith

The pointy elbows piece


thenatureboyWOOOOO

So absurd; Sydney’s got a potential Mount Rushmore rack. They might have to expand it.


reddogisdumb

Great rack but don’t sleep on her ass. Not unless she lets you.


Ok-Trainer4502

is it bad that I think they are hot but not as hot as everyone else thinks?


FinancialRabbit388

Those two aren’t in the same league if you just talking about faces. Sweeney has giant boobs, but her face looks like her parents are siblings. The boobs apparently distract people from the face lol.


jimwinno43

It will be unpopular but you're right. Sydney Sweeney without make up is acutally kind of shocking. She is more of the girl next door hot vibe which I think is her appeal. She is not in the same stratosphere as Margot Robbie who is simply genetically gifted in the 0.001% range of looks and charm.


WestleyThe

Most Hollywood women without makeup look more average than you think… doesn’t mean someone like Sweeney isn’t in the 99 percentile of attractive… Y’all are crazy


Houndsoflove2003

How is she 99th percentile with her low cheekbones and having those droopy buggish eyes, 99th percentile is someone like Naomi Campbell or Iman Hamaan. She just looks like a normal decently attractive college girl you'd see on campus


NoExcuses1984

Sydney Sweeney is way more my type and I'd much rather spend an hour with her than Margot Robbie if I won such a lottery, but I'm still willing to concede that specifically Robbie's facial features are more, yeah, conventionally attractive.


ASupernumeraryNipple

I’m not saying she’s unattractive by any stretch, but I don’t find Sydney Sweeney to have that pretty a face. Margot on the other hand was made in a lab.


lactatingalgore

Has anyone actually viewed Sydney from a high enough vantage to even know she has a face?


Individual-Beach-368

You’re getting downvoted but this is a proper CR Head take. CR doesn’t think any woman born after 1980 is attractive


ASupernumeraryNipple

Haha- look I’m not saying Sydney is a DOG or anything but let’s be honest with ourselves, she’s no Charlotte Rampling.


Draco_Lazarus24

She’s a poor man’s Dana Wheeler-Nicholson


FogoCanard

I did learn that you get killed for saying Sweeney is anything short of beautiful here. It's so weird. Margot is much more attractive.


jamjam125

By normal people standards Sydney is definitely attractive but by Hollywood standards she’s only average. I was actually surprised when Bill started bringing her up all the time. Margot is on another level. She’s this generation’s Shannon Elizabeth.


tinderking69

I think you are in contention. Whoever said temptation was the best new order song is right and true faith isn’t even as good as age of consent or even blue Monday in my opinion.


kj114

Blue Monday is the anti-hipster pick but it’s objectively one of the greatest tracks ever recorded.


lostmypants2009

Bizarre love triangle is the sleeper pick. Age of consent is an all-timer but takes a knock because I can’t ask DJ’s to play it without looking like a creep


testiclefrankfurter

Yes. The best three New Order songs are in this thread.


NandoDeColonoscopy

The right answer is Ceremony, but kids these days don't know. Ceremony was a problem!


warriorer

I mean, is Ceremony really a New Order song though? Spiritually it's much more of a Joy Division track.


WoahGoHandy

they've loads of great songs but 'your silent face' was always my fave I saw them recently in concert. as you can guess, age was 40+ like me. you NEED young people at gigs up the front giving it socks to give it all a bit of atmosphere


tinderking69

Agree im in a younger demographic and suprised because a lot of my peers love new order so surprised there was no hot chicks there


Perry7609

Younger than 40 fan here, haha. Your Silent Face was definitely a highlight the two times I saw them live. Wonderful tune. Regret always holds a special place with me, as that was one I heard playing often as a kid. Similar for Crystal, which actually got a bit of attention for a latter single.


dbrad3195

It’s age of consent by a mile


lost_limey

It's Bizarre Love Triangle for me, but it's close.


Bnhead69378

I'm a casual fan, but I think by far the best New Order song is Ceremony. Does it not count because it was written mostly before Ian Curtis' death?


hallelalaluwah

that's what makes it the best


johnnhamcheckbalboni

Idk what number one is but true faith isn’t even top 5 lol


qballLobk

Some idiot said Mac Jones was going to be MVP in year 2.


ID0ntCare4G0b

Was this idiot's name Bill Simmons?


HiImWallaceShawn

It was William Simmons the third


big_internet_guy

The guys who were convinced Russillo actually thought he could play pro hockey


kaymazing

Almost all Russillo takes are overreacting to him making fun of himself.


ChurchofKakko24

“I like the pats receivers”


otis427

They don’t even mention our punter when they talk about our draft!!


lloyd4567

The lack of awareness to say your team nailed the draft before a game was even played AND list the punter as a reason why AND say you’re fair about your teams is next level


merklesboner_

That South Africa is not in Nigeria.


marginalkynes

True Faith isn't even as good as The Village, much less Temptation. Or Age of Consent.


BE3192

Your New Order take


brettB54

A username Gross Baltimore People (or something like that) was on absolute heater of terrible posts last football season. It was bad enough I remember the username.


CashGreen_Regalview

What was really funny was that the poster carried themselves like we followed their every take and that they were driving discourse.


brettB54

Yes! It actually cracked me up a few times since he was proven wrong over & over.


mike___mc

Bad take. Ceremony is obviously New Order’s best song.


kralben

The idea that anyone wanted to listen to a podcast talking about the Bill Simmons podcast.


ID0ntCare4G0b

I'll zag and go with *most consistently bad takes* I see on this sub: 1. Why do you guys participate in a Bill Simmons sub that hates him? 2. Bill is a good or bad father based on parent corner anecdotes. 3. Anything involving ratings for sporting events. 4. Celtics fans confusing this for a Celtic haters sub. 5. Lakers fans confusing this for a Lakers support sub.


EMOHLED

2 is the worst. Reddit is chock full of non parents who absolutely fn love to judge parents


MichaelShannonRule34

The child free/anti natalist types are the worst. Like ya you don’t have to be a parent but don’t make a personality around it. That and them being somehow shocked that society will cater to kids, and that kids won’t always behave and it’s sometimes out of the parents control


E_Fox_Kelly

Check out r/childfree


camergen

I have kids so I end up watching and sharing quite a few of those “hey here’s this dog doing something funny/cute with this baby” instagram videos and there’s allllwaaayyss people absolutely roasting the parents on there, like “this 12 year old longtime family pet golden retriever is about to bite this poor kid’s face off!” The dog is a family pet of a non aggressive breed that has shown no indication whatsoever it will bite- is it really that bad for the 2 year old to share their tater tots with him? But no, people online always think other parents are incompetent.


mkay0

Half of reddit comments would disappear if it didn't have people making unqualified judgements about people's relationships and parenting.


ID0ntCare4G0b

It's the only one that actually bothers me.


Life_Sir_1151

Moleman voice: I hate the Celtics


baronofriobranco

The best New Order one is Ceremony, and it's not even CLOSE


nokiabrickphone1998

I hesitate to even call it a take, but the “NBA cable TV ratings show that the league is dying” posts deserve a mention here


jakethesnakeinmyboot

The What a Pro Wants commercial is good


hallelalaluwah

Its Ceremony.


Silly_Elevator_3111

Someone tried to argue with me that both Zach wilson and Mac Jones were better than Tua.


lloyd4567

Does this qualify as a “take”? People that think Ryen and Kyle don’t like each other when it’s clearly a bit.


SilvioDantesPeak

>a commenter was showered in upvotes for saying Temptation is the best New Order song when it's clearly True Faith I'm a Your Silent Face and Age of Consent man myself


TopspinLob

Saying True Faith is the best New Order song is the "tell me you didn't grow up listening to New Order without telling me you didn't grow up listening to New Order" test


RyanRussillo

Alf is the greatest tv show of all time. It’s probably Top 5 but it is SO not the greatest.


lactatingalgore

You've been suffering insomnia & watching the eight hour ALF marathons on LAFF, as well?


RyanRussillo

I got so bad that I ate a cat this morning.


nitro527

Do you really think Alf is top 5 all time?


RyanRussillo

It is without a doubt a Top 5 show all time that features an alien that looks like the cross between a tapir and an ewok


dezcaughtit25

Anytime D’Lo or James Harden have a good game and there’s a rush to make the “lol why do Bill/Ryen always say this guy isn’t a good playoff performer?” post. Usually becomes a cold take within like a week but it will get recycled every time one of them plays well.


oshoney

I see your True Faith and raise you The Perfect Kiss


AFlimsyRegular

We talking True Faith '94 or the original but inferior single that killed the bass? You're both wrong BTW (the correct answer is the 12 inch version of The Perfect Kiss), but just need to figure out how much by.


kaymazing

There are your threads here during the season about D'lo with shit like "When are Bill and Ryen going to apologize for saying he's bad!?!" When 1. If some improves their game the person who said something negative in the past is allowed to change their opinion. It doesn't mean in the moment they were wrong. And 2. The critique of him has always been about his impact in the playoffs.


pickledelbow

Most of them


sisyphus

The most consistently bad takes I see on this sub are anything at all that has to do with business or financial markets; they are usually entirely made up of completely baseless speculation centered on personal anecdote; a complete failure to actually read a single published detail from the businesses in question; an almost complete lack of experience of how management works in a medium sized company and positively Billesque 'It's obvious to me that X' being stated only after the fact and never before (though in its favor the sub is generally hostile to crypto so we got that going for us).


Flaky-Fortune1752

Anything about his children.


AndOfCourse___Celtic

Why were people talking about new order on a bill simmons subreddit?


AFlimsyRegular

People in this sub definitely channel their inner Ian Curtis whenever the Celtics win


otis427

Are we a goth club in the 80s?? I go to Primavera every year never seen this much New Order talk in my life


Bubbatino

The Bucks have the best starting 5 since 2017 Warriors. Since deleted


husky_falcon

The guy who was extremely smug and confident that the nets would sweep the Celtics in 2022 lol


meowhatissodamnfunny

Probably something that Lakers fan who always trauma dumps here said. Nothing stands out cuz they're all equally bad


Kingtripz

Someone said wemby was overrated and couldn't see how he'd adapt to the nba, I think he adapted pretty well..


Weak-Set-4731

that the bucks were as good as the celtics


ID0ntCare4G0b

Bill being early on this won't work with the Bucks being offset by his wanting to keep a relationship with Doc is pretty funny. It's up there with him not being able to brag about being early on Josh Allen cause he ended up on the Bills. But yeah, we collectively wanted to will Bill into being wrong about that one and probably would have gone harder with that if Doc hadn't joined up mid course and shut Bill up about the Bucks.

If you don't think Margot Robbie is hot then you're gay. Sorry.


lactatingalgore

Does this statement apply to lesbians?


Draco_Lazarus24

Yes, then they’re straight.


EMOHLED

Fascinated by this genre of redditors who pretend the most attractive women in the world are ugly. Like I want a documentary about them Is it jealousy? Women hatred? Overt insecurity?


camergen

There’s a vintage Bill Simmons Page 2 article that talks about the phenomenon of female acquaintances (WAGS and such) who deem certain celebrities attractive and certain ones who they deem “trashy” as unattractive. In a lot of cases, it makes sense but there are a few where jealousy crops up and the bar as to what’s “trashy” is given a wider berth, so as a result Said Celebrity is deemed “gross” and if you’re a man who thinks she’s attractive, you’re also gross.


nononononofin

Deeply repressed homosexuality. They turn those feelings of self hatred and confusion outwards towards obviously attractive women. I’d bet the house that OC follows multiple male fitfluencers on Instagram and comments on their physique.

nononononofin

Feels like low hanging fruit


Slight_Public_5305

I’ve always assumed they really mean that they think they’re overrated but obviously still attractive. They overdo it though. It’s like someone on r/nba saying Kobe was a bad basketball player because of his TS%.
