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, Van Leith and June Lippen. Many other ringer

staffers, you get one take, you got an defendant to the death. Sports takes. Pop culture

takes. Food takes. Airplane takes. Oh yeah. It's coming back. First episode drops August

29th.

Hello, ho ho. Here's an important message from Network Rail for anyone who's travelling

by train this Christmas and New Year. We'll be working over the festive period to make

improvements to the railway. Most of the network remains open, but some train services will

be affected from Sunday the 25th of December until Monday the 2nd of January. So, to keep

your festive plans on track, please check before you travel at nationalrail.co.uk slash

Christmas.

I need support to have to clear the room. Stand up and walk now.

Hello and welcome to the watch. My name is Chris Ryan. I am an editor at the ringer.com

and joining me on the other line. Listening to liquid swords and staring at his Bloomberg

terminal. It's Andy Greenwald. There are worse things to be doing. Have you ever felt so

seen generationally?

No, it gets uncomfortable sometimes. Do you ever see something and you see your interest

reflected on screen and you're just like, maybe I'm not as big of a person as I thought

it. Maybe I'm not as complicated or as interesting of a person as I thought I was. We're referring

to the most recent episode of industry where Jesse Bloom is listening to Wu Tang plan and

dribbling a basketball in what looks like a Victorian mansion in the middle of London.
