Joel Anderson from the Ringer.

The Ringer Tailgate is the podcast he's on.

He writes for the Ringer.

I spoke to Billy Gill yesterday.

I would like Billy Gill to call in during this segment.

Perhaps Joel can make that happen because he doesn't respond to my text or my phone calls. But Joel Anderson is back for his second appearance here. It's too got to company. How are you, Joel? I'm good. Man, Billy and our enemies, man. Billy's not going to do anything that I ask him to do. Wow. That didn't take long. I mean, he's, I mean, he's incorrigible. I mean, the thing, what the thing is is that he's like a critic. He comes in and he's got all these opinions. In all fairness, he is our producer. Okay. But he's got all these opinions and I'm like, well, you just got here. We've been rolling since August. You got all these opinions in November, you know?

Like, cool out, you know?

Yes, yes.

Really?

Is that what you tell?

Like, slow down, Billy?

Well, actually, I don't say it like that, but I'm probably not as respectful to him

as somebody who is theoretically in charge of me.

Do you guys have a hat beef?

Well, it's not really a hat beef per se. So I wore a hat on

camera one day because my hair wouldn't cut and I'm kind of in the same situation right now.

And it was a Rockets cap that I like, but I just not broken it in. And so the brim was a little

weird. It was kind of like at like this kind of angle.

And everybody in the chat kept talking about it.

And I was like, and because it was a sore spot for me, I don't know how hats are supposed to work. You know, I've always had good hair. You know what I mean? So I don't have to wear a hat. So I put the, in the middle of the stream, I turned the hat around, okay?

Because it was really getting to me. Like they were getting at my confidence. And so I turned the hat around and it became a whole thing. And then Billy comes on and he's out, he's got a million hats. All of them special in a certain way or whatever. And so everybody, you know, he kept, He kept it going talking about my hat and my brim and everything. And I'm like, well, take your hat off then, Billy.

Let's see. Which right. Joel, that's what he loves to do. Destroy your confidence. That's, you know. Yeah, man. I'm just, yeah. I'm like, I'm on, I'm on camera. I'm talking. Like, don't annoy me. Don't talk to me about how I look right now. I did the best as I could.
