0:00.0	The Bill Simmons podcast brought to you by Fandual Sportsbook. We're also brought to by the Ringer Podcast Network where I have a new rewatchable is coming for you. On Monday night, we did the Truman Show. We did it with me and Chris Ryan and a very, very special guest. It is a pretty famous celebrity. And, you know, when we have the celebrities on, you never know how it's going to go, but this one went great.
0:22.3	Really, really good.
0:23.2	You're going to be surprised.
0:24.3	So that's coming Monday night, looking forward to that.
0:27.5	I want to tell you about a new podcast that we're launching in November.
0:32.3	And this is a surprising one.
0:35.3	It is a sports and culture podcast, but mostly sports, with Max

1:27.6	wanted to do something like a back and forth, kind of the kind of ringer type show that we
1:32.9	would do, like conversation show, chemistry show. And, and I was like, Rich Paul, like he's
1:39.7	running clutch. He's like an entrepreneur. He's doing all these different things. How is he going to
1:43.5	have time in the wherewithal to do a podcast? So I did what I usually do in these situations. I just
1:49.2	met with them and we went out to lunch and we talked for two hours. I didn't really know rich that
