## Resource

Welcome to Episode 126! We bring on Andy (@adplacksports) for a classic r/BS Pod show. We start off talking Guess the Lines - why has it dropped off so much, and is it redeemable? We assess what made the show great and how it lost its luster. We then hit on Bill as Ringer GM and discuss the current Ringer roster including strengths and weaknesses. We finish up the show predicting what Bill will (or won't!) say about the recent Jimmy Kimmel news. Enjoy!
