    Ringer Tailgate may be the funniest and most entertaining podcast currently airing. I’ve been listening to Van Lathan on Bill Simmons’ podcasts for years. Van takes his entertaining takes to the next level on Ringer Tailgate with Tate Frazier and Joel Anderson.

  • Joel’s.. well.. you know

    If Billy isn’t on.. I’m not listening. They get a lot wrong. It’s weak from a CFB knowledge standpoint. It can be funny.. but again, if I don’t see Billy in the show description, I’m not listening.
