EV and Jeff will be on Bill Simmons podcast

JPPJ84

Does anybody know at what time the podcast is usually available?

I am really excited for this. Have they ever sat down for a longform interview like this? I'm not aware of them being on any podcasts other than Mike on Joseph Arthur's.

Bill is going to get some very different questions in there.  Plus he’s a huge fan.

Don't know anything by the man, but if he was the one talking to Quentin Tarantino recently then I'm game. That one was great.

THEY SHOULD DO MARC MARON THOUGH.

Yes... that was him if you’re referring to their breakdown of King of New York.  That was on the Rewatchables podcast.  Ed and Jeff will be on his primary podcast.

So can we listen to it on that ringer website?

Yeah, should be on most podcast platforms too. I use Stitcher, for example.

A 60 minute interview, 45 minutes about Ed’s childhood and 15 about guitars.

You just won the internet with that suggestion. Maron's WTF interviews are the greatest. I was hoping we might see Eddie on board after Maron emceed Flea's Silverlake Conservatory Benefit with the Chili Peppers and Eddie on the bill last November. That also happened to be Josh's last show with the Peppers if I'm not mistaken. Chris Cornell, Iggy Pop, Keith Richards, Mark Arm, Mark Lanegan, Roger Daltrey, on and on and on... those interviews really end up sounding like a few friends hanging out having a real conversation instead of hawking whatever product they might be currently promoting. Long Live WTF!!!

How about Marc Maron with Bill Simmons?

I dont mind some sports questions. Overall want it to be natural. But, Simmons do the fans justice and talk about the album and some die hard questions! Dont just go off tangent with Jeff playing bball, and Eddie with cubs and SuperSonics coming back and Corona + Politics. I have faith in Simmons, this is tricky though!

Nice! Thanks for the heads-up, @offhegoes32

“Dave was like the guy at the blackjack table, like my buddy Bug...he’s friends with everyone but he just doesn’t fit in with the group, he’s splitting everything and hitting 17s, he doesn’t tip the dealer and he’s a little rude to the cocktail waitresses, and eventually it’s like hey buddy, we love ya but why don’t you go over to the bar for a little while? Then Jack is the guy, he’s like my buddy Hench, he comes over when the dealer hasn’t busted in like 15, 20 hands and just kind of calms everyone down, changes the energy a bit, but he doesn’t hang out all night, he’s like oh it’s 11:30 and I’m up 50 bucks, I’m going to turn in cause I don’t want to miss the breakfast buffet. And then Matt, Matt is like Sal, he shows up at like 3 am just when everyone is about to crash, and he was there at dinner but you haven’t seen him since and you’re like where have you been and he’s like ah I’ve been at the craps table I won like ten grand, you guys aren’t going to bed are you? And suddenly everyone gets their second wind and you end up playing until 10 am. Anyway where is Dave Grohl in The Pantheon?”

Top 3 all-time apology... topped maybe only by Rudy Gobert and Darryl Morey apologies this century. Nephew Kyle... what do you think?

No problem!  Yeah, I was surprised when I saw it.  Hopefully we get a nice, entertaining discussion here as a fun diversion.  Used to read Bill’s stuff all the time back in the day, but haven’t really had time to listen to his regular podcast in a long time.  I do catch The Rewatchables every now and then, most I’ve heard have been pretty entertaining.

offhegoes32

Some of the parodies above made me laugh, I’ll throw my own stupid one in as well:

”No Code- Who You Are, I mean classic deep cut now, but Jeff, I know exactly what you guys were thinking then.  You were saying, we sorta wanna blow up our ties to some of these fair weather fans, just like Dylan McKay’s Dad blew up his own car on 90210.  But then comes Yield, and I mean that’s you guys saying, everyone come on back, sit in a booth with us at Nat’s Peach Pit and have a big slice of comforting pecan pie...right?... guys? Hello, you still there?”

I really hopes he sticks to Gigaton, NBA, live shows and stuff like that. No talking about drummer drama or Eddie taking over the band in the mid 90's and them almost breaking up. He tells that story like he was there.  Just keep it focused.  Jeff would probably talk Sonics/NBA all day.

Bill: This album is Pearl Jam's version of a 50-20-20 triple double with 8 steals and 7 blocks... it might be the all-time apex mountain album for a band 25+ years into their career.
