Hey, it's Bill Simmons. I have some good news for you. The hottest take. It's back.

Oh, yeah. Monday through Thursday, four times a week, you heard from me. Chris Ryan, Sean

Fantasy, Malloruban, Wazdy and Lambray, Bay and Lathan, June Lippman. Many other

ringer staffers, you get one take, you got an offender to the death. Sports takes.

Pop culture takes. Food takes. Airplane takes. Oh, yeah. It's coming back.

First episode drops August 29th. I'm Sean Fantasy. I'm Amanda Davins. And this is the big

picture a conversation show about the year 2005. And whether or not it sucked. Chris Ryan

is here. We're drafting again this time with a little spin. Hi, Chris. Hi, man. Hey, I

wanted to ask you before we get started. How is Sydney Swini's mom's birthday party? I

thought you had some tasteful clothing, but like, you know, I think you're mistaking me

with Bill Simmons here. I believe he's the one you need to be asking about that. I certainly

was not present for that party. So guys, we're doing another draft. I've been getting a

little bored with our drafts, you know, and not every week. Can we have Quentin Tarantino

and Roger Avery walk through that door? This is also the first time we're drafting in

person, just the three of us along with Bobby, who is in New York at the moment. And I've

been going never drafting drafting was a zoom phenomenon. Hence, possibly the intensity,

the animosity that is associated with these drafts, right? Yeah, I think we're putting

something to the test and so what you're arguing is that in person, I'm going to be nicer

to you. You're usually nice to me. That is true. You think I'm going to be nicer to him

in person? I don't know. We'll have to see because Sean, Sean flipped the script here.

Yes, I did. I wanted to change this up. I've been getting a little bored like I said,

and we're running out of years in the 2000s. Do you want to unpack your boredom for a second?
