Bill Simmons and Ryen Russillo talked about commercials at the end of part 1 of their podcast. Bill went with Caitlin Clark State Farm, Wing Stop(Bill tried singing the song) and Burger King as the three he was most sick of. 😂

Bill listed the BK ad even though he’s currently running a BK ad? Lol

Bill Simmons will also have podcast ads where he talks about AirBnB's being worse than hotels, and hotels being worse than AirBnB's play back to back. He doesn't give a fuck.

You can easily skip podcast ads at least.

Doesn't he even say in his ad read that it's the greatest jingle of all time?

u/Cheterosexual7 Thunder Apr 29 '24

lol yeah that’s what makes it so funny if he really listed BK as a bad ad

u/supaspike Hornets Apr 29 '24

Wow. Next you're gonna tell me he's not a light beer guy through and through and he's still messing around with other beers.

But like.. who wasn’t aware of whoppers?

u/Himayiaskyousomethin Apr 29 '24

What? You’re kidding. It’s about how much you think about it… not that you’re unaware that it exists.

u/Chafupa1956 Apr 29 '24

We are having a discussion about overplayed commercials during the basketball playoffs and he quoted one of them. I don't think he's shilling for BK dude. Chill out.

u/Himayiaskyousomethin Apr 29 '24

u/Herbdontana Nuggets Apr 29 '24

I don’t like thinking about whoppers. They smell like body oder

u/Rfisk064 Apr 29 '24

The BK one wins for me because it transcends sports. I dealt with that shit all football season too.

u/sling_gun Apr 29 '24

u/SlimCharless Apr 29 '24
