    I loved the podcast.  It was so fun to just hear them talk casually.  Not sure if this has been said yet but...drink every time you hear Eddie's zippo light up.
    I have counted 6 times through minute 89.

    Yep. It’s taken a toll on his voice too. If he keeps it up, he’ll end up looking like Sean Penn. 
    I died. I died and you just stood there. I died and you watched. I died and you walked by and said no. I'm dead.

    Nothing about music in this interview.  It would have been nice to learn about the creative process.  We get that Bill Simmons likes basketball.

    His nickname is “The Sports Guy”.  They knew what kind of conversation they were going to have.

    I agree... Bill has a one track mind and it always runs through basketball.  But to be fair... Ed rarely gives up much inside info. He was asked a couple of music/concert related questions that he flat out refused to provide an answer for.  Ed likes to talk about other bands and sports but he really doesn’t open the vault on his creative process too much.  I don’t think you can really blame that too much on Bill.

    True.  Although I love football and love going to baseball games.

    Finally getting a chance to listen to this. Great interview, rarely have I heard Ed so chatty. But, damn, every time I hear the zippo I cringe.

    His nickname is “The Sports Guy”.  They knew what kind of conversation they were going to have. 
    He's been immersed in entertainment for almost 20 years since he moved to L.A. to write for Kimmel.  He is so far beyond being "The Sports Guy."  He claims to be a big Pearl Jam fan, but he's a casual fan at best-- which is fine, although imagine what someone who is actually deeply familiar with the band's entire body of work, not just its first three albums, could do with more than two hours of access to band members.

    The only reason this interview was even taking place was because Pearl Jam has a new album out for the first time in over six years.  In over two hours, the content of that album was barely mentioned.  There was a discussion of track sequencing that referenced "Who Ever Said" as a "banger" and a discussion of "Dance Of The Clairvoyants" that was approached from the angle of "were you f*&%ing with your fans with this song?"  He had Jeff on the phone for over two hours and never asked him about his significant contributions to this album or the fact that he's doing much more than playing bass on this album.  There was zero discussion of the overall themes of the album, of what it is the band is trying to say with the album.  Simmons called the album "Gigatron" because he has no idea what a "Gigaton" is and why it's relevant to the themes of the album.  There's no shame in not knowing, but a good interviewer would ask these questions.
    I gather speed from you fucking with me.

    And ironic in the context of the discussion of how athletic you have to be to be in a band.  Can you imagine LeBron James chain smoking and still performing at a high level?

    Maybe Ed should reach out to do a collaboration with the Chainsmokers. :)
    I gather speed from you fucking with me.

    You’re 100% correct on all points.  That being said... I still loved the interview.

    What does Ed say after Jeff mentions Brett Hart and Abruzzese becoming friends?

    Nice to hear Jeff being able to (still) pronounce Dave A's name.
