• 0:59
  Speaker 1: for writing A Star is Born Best Adapted Screenplay. If
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: he got nominated, I riot he got nominated. Bradley Cooper
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: did not for Best Director yet do you think that's
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: causing tension between them? No? Absolutely not. No. Will did
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: his job well. Will wrote a beautiful screenplay. So you're
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: saying Cooper did not do his job. No, he absolutely
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: did it. So the Academy's faulter a bunch of clowns.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: I want to know who's on this nameless faceless Academy.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: I want accountability. That's what I want, Okay, Because if
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: you watched that film as I did again on Sunday night,
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: and you weren't moved by what Bradley Cooper did in
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: an acting capacity and a directorial capacity in his debut,
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: I might add, um, then you're just an ass and
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: apparently the Academy is a bunch of ass clowns. Well,
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: we're going to get into all that with Will Fetters.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: Uh as is the new format of the show. Um,
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: We're going to talk about some bets largely centered around
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: the All Star Game, and then you and I are
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: going to decide if we're going in together or if
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: we're beating each other. Remember the last time we met
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: each other. I think I lost. Yeah, I took two
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: and fifty dollars. It was not enjoyable for me. It
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: got really tense, Like this was the Super Bowl and
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: we had that live stream going and you and I
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: watched the first half together and then you kind of
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: got drunker as the game went on, and and you
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: like kept slapping me in the back and then like
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: rubbing my shoulders, and like I was have doing work,
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: like trying to be a professional because we actually have
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: stuff watching the Super Bowl, biggest day of our of
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: our careers at the action Now, I was working too,
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: I was on the live stream. Someone had to be,
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: so was I. And then you just got you just
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: got too annoying. I could not I honestly couldn't do
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: with you. I got two annoying to you when I
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: not only beat you in our bet, but I covered
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: the Patriots minus nine and a half that I bet
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: right before kickoff. That really annoyed you, really, Like it
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: got to the point where I was watching the game.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: I'm like, everybody was watching the game. We have eight
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: screens in our office. Everybody was watching, like on one
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: side of the room. I was by myself on the
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: other side of the room, praying that Greg's airline would
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: make that last second field goal so that I wouldn't
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: cover the nine and a half. But I did. Yeah,
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: that totally totally irritated me. Yeah, well, too bad. It
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: was ugly. The whole thing was ugly. Um, so we're
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: gonna do that. That's going to be before Will Fetters
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: comes on. Um, how great was that? Roman read? By
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: the way, we're getting response on Twitter from the right
• 3:26

• 3:30
  Speaker 1: are doing it? Are we reading it today? Oh? My god,
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: in front of us. We got a Roman read today.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: I'm so super excited about that. So your kindness, let's
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: be kind to our bodies and on Valentine's Day, double
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: up on your room and double up on your Roman.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: Be kind to your loved ones. All right, we'll get
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: to Roman in a little bit, but first, let's say
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: hello to the start of the show. Okay, Happy Valentine's Day. Boys.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: I'm really rather fond of one of you. Oh that's amazing.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: Do you know what's amazing how many people when we
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: did our live podcast I didn't think Georgina was real shocking,
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: including Jeff Schwartz. It was so nice to see everybody
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: at the live show a few weeks ago. And to
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: assure Jeff Schwartz I'm not a robot. He really thought
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: she was a robot. Glad to see in the new
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: year with the new podcast, with the new year of
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: the podcast, we are keeping a kind and I'm stepping
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: on all of Georgina's lines. That's just part for the course.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: Oh is there more? I thought, do you want to
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: start the show or does Gina have maybe an iTunes
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: reviews Georgina, I didn't know if I was supposed to.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: I'm scared now should what happens? John's just gonna stop
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: talking now? iTunes review user clean the Barrel subject. I
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: literally dream about this. I literally dreamt about the podcast
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: and the whole cost to characters being at my grandparents
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: beach house. I was drinking and betting high school volleyball
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: with Laduka five star g A M b I l
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: I n G gamble. It's called g A M B
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: I l I n G. He he absolutely would be
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: betting on high school volleyball at your grandmother. Oh my god,
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: whoever wrote that? That's that's a great one. That is
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: a great review, And I'm so glad we've infiltrated the
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: dreams of our listeners. That's frightening. But I mean, Paul
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: would absolutely be doing that, no doubt about it. There's
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: he'd be betting high school volleyball. He's probably out in
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: California right now on Muscle Beach, just bet setting lines
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: on volleyball games on the beach. He's like walking up
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: to guys like on the squat rat. If we started
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: if we started putting high school volleyball in the Free
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: Action Network app uh, Leduca would be just pounding it
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: like I'd be getting alerts from Luduca says he's all
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: over it. It's called B A M B I L
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: I N G. Just oh, I need that to be
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: like my ring tone when he calls too much, too much?
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: Al Right, So should we talk about the All Star weekend?
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: The All Star weekend, big, big weekend. I'm excited about it.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: It's All Star weekend and something called the n b A. So,
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: who wins the All Star Game? Team Jannis or Team Lebron.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: What do you think, black Jack? It's Team Lebron. He's
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: stacked that team, I mean Lebron, Kevin Durant, Anthony Davis,
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: Kyrie Irving. The team is loaded, man, and there's no
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: way they're losing that game. There. I think a three
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: and a half point favorite. Alright, So, um, what's interesting
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: about this is, Look, the NBA just stole the show
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: from the NFL during Super Bowl week and then in
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: the following week with the draft, like they just know
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: how to do it. Keen analysis into who's gonna win
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: the game? There? Yeah, Well, I was just thinking about
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: how the fact that like listen, can I finish? I
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: don't know, can you have? You're taken your Roman boom.
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: Roman is gonna love this podcast. Soon. They're going to
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: be the title sponsor for this. We should get Roman
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: to be the title I will tell you, I will
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: tell you. We get these like requests earlier in the year,
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: will you or won't you sort of approve or like
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: this kind of read on your podcast? And we got Roman,
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: like in September they sent us something. I was so
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: happy and we both were like yes, a thousand times yes,
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: and like, I don't know why it took unto February
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: to get Roman on the podcast. We've never been more
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: excited about never company sponsoring us ever. I've been prepped
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: for this for months. The only other one we're waiting
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: on is the legalized marijuana. No, this is better, this
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: is better. Come on, listen. Marijuana is all right, but
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: we're talking hard dicks here, so true. Alright, So who's
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: gonna win the All Star Game? It's gonna be Team Lebron.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: You and I are on the exact exact same page
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: for that. We can't even debate it. Do do you
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: have any analysis for us? I haven't been paying much
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: attention because I've been busy at my house, all right,
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: So so we both have Team Lebron. Like I said that,
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: the roster that he picked is just loaded, and he
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: picked a lot of guys who were in their walk
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: here into free agency. This is a big stage. I
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: think guys are gonna want to put on a show,
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: really form well kind of head into free agency that way.
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: Some guys that maybe may not go into the playoffs
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: Anthony Davis um or may not go that far in it. Whatever,
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: there is no way anybody is thinking about anything for
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: the future in this All Star Game. There's just not
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: Why not because they're not. It's like you go into
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: the All Star Game. You want to be with your buddies.
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: You're gonna lay down some connections for the following year,
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: but you're not going to go into it thinking I'm
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: going to play hard to prove. Do you think that
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: Russell Westbrook looks out it that way, because I don't.
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: Granted he's on Team You honest, but um, that dude
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: I think takes everything serious. Russell Westbrook is thinking he's
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: my favorite basketball player. I love him. He is amazing.
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: He is ten straight triple Devils it's astonishing. I actually
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: I just feel like, how does his body not breaking down?
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: I'd like to see the guy brush his teeth, Like,
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: how hard does he go brushing his teeth? That dude
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: makes his gums bleed. Like everything is intense when he
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: when those clips come out about him playing with his kid,
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: like you see those clips on YouTube, I feel like
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: he's just gonna like he's gonna block every He's gonna
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: start trash talking his kid. Yeah, that guy plays hard.
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: He doesn't need Roman. Now. I was going to go
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: there with Roman, but everybody could use Roman, no matter
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: who you are. All Right, we'll get to the Roman ad.
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: What do we have next? Georgina who wins MVP? This
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: is interesting to me because Jeff Schwartz on I'll take
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: that bet this morning had a really interesting take, and
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: he's kind of swayed me a little bit. I wanted
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: no part of Lebron on this bet because it's the
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: All Star game. He's coming off an injury, like Lebron
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: seems like a guy who might just coast here. But
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: Jeff Schwartz makes an excellent point. This game is in Charlotte.
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: Michael Jordan will be at this game. It's his arena,
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: it's his home team, and Lebron would like nothing more
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: than to just go out and put on an unreal
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: show in front of Michael Jordan's sitting courtside. He dominates
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: the Hornets in Charlotte, and Jeff pointed out that when
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: Lebron plays in Charlotte, Michael Jordan doesn't sit courtside for
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: those games because he knows it will motivate Lebron, so
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: he doesn't sit on the floor. Great insight from our
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: newest NBA analyst, Jeff Schwartz. Really interesting theory, and Jeff
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: Schwartz certainly a very bright guy. But there's only one
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: answer here. What's the answer, Dwyane Wade? Are you into
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: your fucking mind? Dwayne Wade out there on crutches? Do
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: you remember Dwyane Wade is beloved by everybody in this game.
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: Every single player in this game loves Dwayne Wade. And
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: you might recall Magic Johnson the year he played in
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: the All Star Game after he announced he had HIV.
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: Totally different. They gave him the rock, they made it,
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: they made it a layup for him to win. You're
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: comparing apples and Roman pills. There's nothing Magic Johnson had
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: aids Man. They thought he was gonna die. It was
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: like a send off, like this is a this is
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: a send off. No, that was a send off to
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: the great beyond, not retirement. But for a lot of
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: these guys, like there is no life after the NBA. No, no,
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: it's not Dwayne Wade. There's value on James Harden at
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: plus fourteen hundred, This value I think on Kemba Walker
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: at plus eight hundred. Kemba is one of those guys
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: who I think a lot of people look at as
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: like a fringe All Star and maybe wants to prove
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: he belongs also his home floor, and we've seen him
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: go off for sixties some nights. I mean, gets not
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: a fringe All Star. I agree with you, but I
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: think some people look at him that that way. Okay,
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: anybody forgot how in touch with the NBA. Anybody who
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: watches basketball knows that he is not a fridge All Star.
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: What's the last basketball game you watched start to finish? Uh?
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: Probably watched one sometime this week? All right? I think
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: the Spurs played who did the Spurs play? There? In
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: to night? I had him at minus four and a half.
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: The Griz they won one. Yeah, I had that too, Yeah,
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: but I did not. We didn't cover, didn't cover. Um,
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: So I'm going which way? Wade? Okay, well you're an idiot.
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: I'm I'm gonna go with with shorts here and say
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: Lebron goes nuts in front of Michael Jordan. There's gonna
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: be some taunting. Hey, Michael Jordan may go out on
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: the floor at some point. Let's take listen. I gave
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: you two value plays to Kemba Walker and James Harden
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: James Harden plus and uh, the guys scoring like points
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: a night. I'm just gonna take the truck. Are you done?
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: Take a stand? I just did do something fun. It's
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: the All Star Game. Give yourself a reason? Rout? God?
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: What's next? Who wins the dunk contest? I had Dennis
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: Smith Jr. Is the favorite end. I'm sure you've got
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: great analysis on this one. I am going with Dennis
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: Smith Jr. And this one. Actually, did you watch last
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: year's done contest? You know? Okay, do you know who
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: was in it? Dennis Smith Jr. Yeah? Did you see
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: his performance? Tell me he tried a lot of creative dunks,
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: but he couldn't execute them. He kept missing over and
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: over over. You tried once and failed, so he can't
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: do it again. I don't think he's going to be
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: the guy to get this done. It's a field of four.
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: I don't think he's going to be the guy to
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: get this done. Now, Collins, let's let's talk about the
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: people in there, all right, Collins, big man, they rarely win. Okay?
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: Uh Dwight Howard ever hear of him? Great? So the
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: exception that proves a rule. You can go that way
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: if you like. Who else? Tell me? Tell me something
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: about Hammad Diallo not even playing in the league soon,
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: the Chili who gave you that note? Nobody? I know
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: you've got that note from the chuckler. So who's your
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: pick here? Dennis Smith Jr. I'm gonna go with John Collins?
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: Where John Collins go to college? John Collins? Yeah, where
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: do you go to college? Did you go to college
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: where you don't know? Wake Wake Forest? Interesting? Yeah, that's
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: my pick John Collins, even though he's a big man.
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: Where did Dennis Smith Jr? Go to college? And? See
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: where did I go to college? Indiana? Because you couldn't
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: get into Northwestern. I didn't even try to get in
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: Northwestern because you knew you wouldn't know. The application was
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: just too well, Okay, you're not Northwestern material. That's for
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: the Greenbergs and Revels of the world. Don't be jealous.
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: Are we betting on the yet? It all right? I'll bet.
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: Would I take Dennis Smith Junior? Yeah, I'll bet for
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: fifty bucks? Fifty bucks, you got it. I'll take John Collins.
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: Here we go. We're down. Don't forget in about five minutes.
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: We got Will Fetters coming up. He was nominated for
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: an Academy Award, which is more than I can say
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: for Blackjack, who like drives to Gloman every single guest
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: we've ever had, and turned himself into something that he isn't.
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: It's called it's called opportunism, which it's called success. Like
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: all those books you wrote that no one read four
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: best sellers. At our live show, I was asked to
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: autograph your book. Think about that. I'm not thinking about
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: it ever should It's like a bad It's like the
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: anti Roman pill. Thinking about you signed my book. Mhm. Next,
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: who wins the three point contest? To be honest? I
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: like Steph Curry, mm hmm. You got nothing here? Do
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: you too many names? Hold on, let me look up
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: the odds here. You're gonna take Larry Bird. See is
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: he doing it? Evin Booker plus five? Steph is uh
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: plus two twenty? How do you not go with Seth Curry?
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: That's where I'm going. Yeah, I like that. This is plus.
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: Let me hear your have a theory on this. This
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: is the only time in Seth Curry's life that he
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: has a chance to one up his older brother. He's
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: never going to do it. Really as a basketball player.
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: Steph Curry is gonna have fame for as long as
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: he wants it. He's got this picture perfect family. This
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: is Seth Curry's moment to trump his older brother in
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: the three point contest. The thing that Steph does best
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: and he's most known for. His younger brother comes out
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: with that inferiority complex. You've got sons, you know how
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: it is. He's gonna come out and he's gonna put
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: the beat down on Steph in the three point contest
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: at a very nice price, Steph Curry. Uh. Forbes just
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: came out with the highest paid NBA players, um obviously
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: Steph Lebron number one. Steph Curry, Hold on, I'm looking
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: for it right here. It's just taking me a second.
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: Lebron made eight point seven million dollars last year, including salary,
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: bonuses and endorsements. Steph Curry eighty million dollars. Yeah, this
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: is Curry made eighty million dollars last year. This is
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: from I'm reading this from Kendall Baker on Axios. He
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: does his great news sports newsletter and so I got
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: this in so free ads. Kendell's good guy. If Axios
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: wants the publicity, they can give us an ad like Roman.
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: Can anyone give us an ad like Roman? Can anyone
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: do anything for us like Roman can do for us?
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: Why have we gotten free Roman samples? Chad needs his
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: boner pills. Kevin Durant, guy's got a popsicle stick tied
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: to the thing. Kevin Durant was sixty five million. It's
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: interesting list. Okay, So the three point contest three point contest,
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: I'm changing my my Joe Harris on the Action Network, Harris,
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: Joe Harris. Rob Perez Worldwide Wide did a great video
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: in his story, and then Matt Moore did a story
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: about Joe Harris. I think he might be the best
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: three point shooter in the league, and he is entirely undervalued.
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: I feel like we had to beg the NBA to
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: get Joe Harris into the three point Contest, and we
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: did it because we showed him making three pointers literally
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: with his eyes closed. So what he can hit trick shots?
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: Big deal, Joe Harris plus six to Okay, I'll give
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: you twenty five. I not as much money as you do,
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: big big time here, alright, fine, I'll take Seth. All right,
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: what's next, Georgie. So there's a thing called the Skills Contest.
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: Apparently you can bet on it. Who's going to win
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: that black jack? Luka don Chetch. This contest is tailor
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: made for Luka don Chech. He's fast, he's got great handles,
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: he can pass the ball very accurately, and he's good
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: enough shooter to win it. There's a lot of really
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: talented guys in this, but I think you need to
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: have the ability to do this stuff almost all of
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: it on the first try. We see a lot of
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: guys get hung up when they're trying to pass the
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: ball into the uh into the net there. If you
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: miss that a few times, your time is just not
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: going to be good enough to win it, don ch
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: I think has the best vision and passing of anyone
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: in this He's quick. I like done here. He's the
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: second choice beyond the Aaron Fox. This is a really
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: tough one because Nicola Yoki might go to the Hall
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: of Fame. He's that good. I think we're a little
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: early on that train, but he's very good. And I
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: think he's going to come out there and he's going
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: to be like, I'm the only itch that needs to
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: be scratched in this skills contest the fund? Does that mean?
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: Did I say his name rights chuckles writing your jokes
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: now too? No, I just made it up literally as
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: I was saying that. No, he would have been better
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: than that. Have you seen what this guy does in
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: the atlet Yes, Chad, Yes, I watched the NBA. Yes,
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: he's like our Vitas Sabonis. Oh my god, I could
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: have gone with like Kevin Love in Minnesota. He's like
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: Kevin Love in Minnesota. Yeah, fact Kevin Love back in
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: the day, like fat Kevin Love never got hurt and
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: skinny Kevin Love is always getting hurt. Yeah that happens,
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: That happens to some guys. Kevin Love should have stayed
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: fat the padding. Maybe you know what I think. I
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: think fat is like tougher than muscle. Muscle is a
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: little bit more fragile. So yeah, he should have stayed fatty.
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: He's a better player, all right, another twenty five. I'm
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: taking Yokich, you're taking Dutch. M hm, alright, done what
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: else we got? Wasn't that? Everything is everything? Right? Those
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: we're all the ones. We're gonna do um to run
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: it down. We are both on Team Lebron at minus
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: three and a half four um. The three point Contest,
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: I am on who was I on again, Joe Harris
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: a plus six seventy four. You're on Seth Curry at
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: plus four sixty six. So we have a twenty five
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: dollar bet on that one. On the Skills Challenge, you
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: are on Luca. I am on Nicola he lukea is
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: a plus four hundred, Nikols a plus five hundred. We
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: have a twenty five dollar bet on that one. The
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: Dunk Contest, I am on Dennis Smith, you were on
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: John Collins. We are at fifty dollars on that one,
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: and that was everything. Dennis Smith is a nick He's
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: going to tank the dunk contest too. Bonus question, which
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: movie wins Best Picture of the Oscars that has nothing
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: to do with sports? Uh, black Panther, you're right in
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: your mind? Are you looking serious right now? Plus three D?
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: Please tell me you're not being serious. Do you think
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: it's gonna be Roma, a comic book movie. It's going
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: to be Roma. You know. Here's my only hesitation with that.
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: Roma is winning a lot of awards. To watch Rama, Okay,
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: I did. It's it's a really really good movie. It's
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: it's it's very good. I would. I think there's some
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: hesitation for the Academy to give an Oscar for Best
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: Picture to a Netflix movie. I think there's a little
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: concern there, like Netflix is the giant death star that
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: Hollywood is staring down, and it feels like to give
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: them Best Picture at the Oscars on their first crack
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: at it, it's like, what the hell is everyone else doing?
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: Everyone else is fighting for second place. I think there's
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: gonna be a little bit of pushback to that. Alfonso
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: Corone for Director, He's gonna win that, but I don't know,
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: man Best Picture feels it feels like there's a little
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: pushback from from the Hollywood elites on that one. Alright, well,
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: let's go with Black Panther. No, it's A Star is Born,
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: you idiot. Plus four hundred. Now, I bet this at
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: like three to one. It's at plus fourteen hundred. Now,
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: m listen, chat, go down the list of the movies.
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: All Right, Black Panthers a comic book movie. I don't
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: want to hear it. All Right, it's good for a
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: comic book movie, but that's what it was. Black Klansman
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: entertaining really good story. Um, but I don't think it
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: compares to Green Book or A Star is Born. Bohemian
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: Rhapsody sucked. All right. I Rammy Malick was good as
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: Freddie Mercury, but the movie sucked. Okay, it was not good.
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: I enjoyed the favorite. I thought it was. It had
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: its its lighter moments, which it was a good movie.
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: But again, I don't think it's up there with Green
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: Book or A Star is Born. Vice is not gonna win.
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: They're not getting best picture of a movie about Dick Cheney. Um,
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: green Book was really really good. The concern I have
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: there is there's a little bit of controversy with the
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: family saying that the movie is not entirely accurate, and
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: if you would have had both families in on this movie.
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: Then I think it's a runaway winner. But I don't
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: know how much controversy they really want to get into. Listen,
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: A Star is Born as a classic timeless film by
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: a genius man, Will Fetters, personal friend of mine. It
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: should win, It should win. I don't know if it
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: will because these awards shows seem to be snubbing it
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: for some unknown reason, which is sickening. But at plus
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: four it's worth a bet. You know what we should do.
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: We should call Will Fetters and we're going to get
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: him on the phone. We're gonna ask about all these things.
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: You need his number. I got his number. I just
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: gave it to Chuckles and um. But first, I bet
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: we're going to do a Roman ad And I think
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: that's the perfect meading to get us ready and excited.
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: I Will Fetters and alright, Blackjack, As I said, we're
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: gonna have Will Fetters on next and that is exciting,
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: also exciting. Do you know the guys are terrible taking
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: care of their health, whether it's a knee injury, bad back,
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: or something worth guys are usually more comfortable rubbing some
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: dirt on it than seeing a doctor. I'm guilty of
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: it myself. Remember black Jack, We've talked about the time
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: I broke my back and still still wrote the story
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: for ESPN the magazine, because that's what I do. The
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: same is true for a rectile dysfunction. This is from Roman.
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: Oh my god, I love Roman studies show of guys

  Speaker 1: we have on the show Academy Award nominee my friend,
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: screenwriter of a Star is born. He just backs black
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: Jack's friend, Mr Will Fetters. He's getting on the phone
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: with us in the middle of all the Academy Award hoopla,
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: having just dropped his kids off at school on a
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: rainy day in l A. That's because he's not only
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: a talented writer but also a devoted father. He doesn't listen.
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: You know the thing I like about Will Fetters he
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: doesn't let it go to his head, like he could
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: have his kids. Helicopters at the guy's an Academy Award nominee,
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: friends with the most electrifying voice in sports media me,
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: and he's still as humble as the day we found
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: him a few months ago, as humble as the day
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: he anonymously sent an email to the Action will work serious,
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: serious question, will um? Since you met us, specifically me,
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: you have been nominated for your first Academy award. Um,
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: how much of that credit goes to me? How don't know?
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: How do you end up in the NFL season? Really
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: it's a question of, like I feel like maybe I
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: depends like did you did to take the rams of
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: the Patriots in the Super Bowl? What do you think
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: I did? Will? I know you took the Patriots? I
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: listened to the listen to the podcast. How did your
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: props do? By the way, I will get back to
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: the Academy awarding a second, I almost bet them all,
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: but then I have three kids and I didn't. I
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: will say that. I will say that the props that
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: the Action Network told everybody to take, we're brilliant. They
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: nailed it. Um. The props that I personally took didn't
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: do so well and and for some reason I didn't
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: follow like every single piece of advice on the Action Network.
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: The only thing you should do for props do whatever.
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: Sean Corner from the Action Network says, like the guy
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: is Sean Corner, Koe are any are the guy's gold.
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: He was like lit up for props during the Super Bowl,
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: and like I just couldn't take all of them. And
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: I think I took like three of them and I
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: won two of them, and then like I took six
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: others that he didn't recommend that I just sort of
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: thought were smart and I didn't win. Yeah, it was.
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: It was that kind of day for the for the
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: for the contrarian gambler. It really really was. It really
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: was a super Bowl made for you two guys. I
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: mean it would have given given the theme of this podcast,
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: wise guy versus versus the guy who says, maybe we
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: should just been on Tom Brady a lot usually, maybe
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: we've been on the best player in football forever. That
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: might be a good idea. You know what they do.
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: You want to minimize how dum you feel? That's my
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: thing with Tom Bradys. You just want to minimize do
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: dum you feel And that was my rule I applied
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: this year for the contest. It was like, if we're
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: chasing seventeen points on the road in Kansas City, maybe
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: instead we just take Tom Brady that sometimes we didn't
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: like a couple of times, I feel like you guys
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: are getting up on me. No, not at all, Jad,
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: I mean that must have been brutal Field. Did did you?
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: I mean we want to get into but did you
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: take the Patriots like and or did you take the Amazbory?
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: Were you? It really was like it was like your Alamo.
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: I mean the line came out of this makes no
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: sense at all, like every dummy in the world, no
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: offense black Jack, Like all the dummies and Blackjack are
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: gonna be on the Patriot and you couldn't do it
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: like you said, will uh. The Alamo was a great
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: way to describe it's very literary view cinematic because I
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: was on the RAMS and I was on the Rams
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: at plus two, I was on the Rams on the
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: money Line, I was on um every Rams. I was
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: on Todd Gurley over a hundred and twenty three and
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: a half over a hundred rushing yards and receiving yards combined.
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: I think I was on like, um, Marcus Peters and
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: I keep to leave uh and Robert Woods to win
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: the m v P. Like Marcus Peters, you name it,
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: if you name a rams bet, I was on it.
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: It was as Blackshack and I were just talking about
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: earlier in the podcast, which you'll hear um on that Sunday,
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: we were all watching it together and we did this
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: live stream from the Action Network, and Blackjack and I
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: were sitting watching the game and the live stream together
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: in the beginning, and at halftime, I had to walk
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: away just because he was so drunk and annoying, and
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: I needed to watch the game like by myself to
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: try to will a win, because you knew if the
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: Patriots got a touchdown lead the game was over. It
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: might as well. So it just let's talk about something
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: that we all enjoy, which is let's go let's go
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: to a Star was born, Let's talk about the movie
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: give us the lowdown, man, Like, you're fucking nominated for
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: an Academy Award. What does it mean? Like I feel
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: like who was Like, you know, Tracy Wilson, what does
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: this mean to you? You know, it's actually funny man,
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: I've been telling myself intellectually for the last few months.
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: You know that I just wanted it from my career,
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: you know, I was I would I would always talk
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: to people, and you know all I wanted to OSPAR
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: nomination because, as a friend of mine said the day
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: I got nominated, literally, if you do nothing else for
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: the rest of your life, now on your tombstone, they
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: can put Academy Award nominated. And I was like, I
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: hope this isn't the mountaintop, but okay, um right. At
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: the same time, I didn't really realize so that was
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: my intellectual and maybe that my defenses were up. But
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: then the morning of the announcements, we were sleep training
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: our baby with your kids are older, which you might
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: remember how horrible that it um. And so the baby
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: was was up through the night and the announcement at
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: five twenty um here, and so I had an alarm
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: set but I woke up like three times in the
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: night with the baby. I ended up waking up and
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: I woke up at like five three two, like I
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: jumped out of better late for school, ran in my
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: living room, but I have a one story like kind
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: of ran in my living room, and literally I turned
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: on the TV. The sound was off, and and on
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: the TV it just I didn't even know what channel
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: it was left on, but I must have been left
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: right on K D L A and and filling my
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: television said adapted screenplay. And then I swear to God,
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: I'm telling you this is and this is exactly how
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: it happened, giving me you the blow by blow. So
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: not only does it just say adapted screenplay with no sound,
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: there are three nominees up, and I have watched no
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: other announcements, so I have absolutely no context for how
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: they're being announced. And the ones that were up there
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: were the Cohen Brothers movie Can You Ever Forgive Me?
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: And Black Klansman. Now, the Cohen's was like that was
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: that was uh terrifying because that came from nowhere and
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: there was none nobody's board. And and then Can You
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: Ever Forgive Me was kind of on the cusp, and
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: I had this moment and this is like it took
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: about probably ten seconds in real time to get through
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: the next two because the next one was Barry Jenkins
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: for If fuel Stree Could Talk, and I was just
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: ready for the gut punch, like the interfill everything, the
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: last two years of the Philadelphia wa in the Super Bowl,
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: the inter Philadelphia schools fan of me, like Allen Iverson,
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: Allen Iverson getting getting stepping over to Ront Louis and
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: getting his ass kicks for four straight games, Like all
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: of it just came, all the Andy Reid moments. I
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: got like sick to my stepd For like three seconds,
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: I knew, I was like I was just looking on
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: the air comes and then and then it then it
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: just didn't happen. It was like it I lived a
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: lifetime in that moment and what was really cool? Then
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: I literally did like a nerdy like Phil Mickelson, hopped
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: with my arms in the air. I'll never judge. I'll
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: never judge anybody for a bad celebration. Again, it was
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: the most unathletic, uninspired thing anyone's ever seen. Um and
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: thankfully no one saw it but me. But did But
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: did you get to get back to the question that
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: moment I realized In that moment, I realized how much
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: I wanted it in the five seconds I thought it
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: wasn't gonna happen, and I wanted to because I used
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: to watch the Academy Awards every year with my my parents.
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: You know, like I remember like rooting for Babe versus Braveheart,
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: which is hilarious now, but like all these things that
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: like just came roaring back. So I was like armygown
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: in the Young Wan Bruce willis Flat Life Flash. Oh
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: my god, that is an incredible story. So a couple
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: of questions I have. I don't know what black jas Scott,
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: but a couple of questions I have. Number one, Um,
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: your wife was sleeping, so she was not awake with you, okay?
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: Number one? Number two, what do you do? So you
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: find out at five thirty three you're having this surreal
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: moment you jump up and down like philm Nikison Nicholson
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: as as a West Wing fan, I was thinking about, like,
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: you know, Bradley Whitford, he always had those awkward moments,
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: like when he would do something semi athletic, Like that's
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: what I was envisioning, But like, what did you so?
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: Like then what happens? Do you go wake up your wife?
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: Like do you call Bradley Cooper? Like what do you
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: do next? You call your agent? A lot of text
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: messages that day, It was just text messages flying back
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: and forth. You know, I feel like, you know, it's
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: funny people. I used to think in people. My dad
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: even asked, like, when did they call you? Because you
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: always hear people talk about their Oscar nomination somebody called them,
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: But that's usually, like I realized, it's just your aging
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: or your manager calling people. Um. I texted my sister
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: lives in Spain, and so we texted like right away.
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: She was really sweet. She watched it like on a
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: bus in Spain, like on our way to work and
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: just started crying. And I thought that was really sweet. Um,
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: and so I does text with people like the whole day.
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: It was just I mean it was it was like
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: I want and truthfully that day but I did like
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: everything else is gravy. It's been a lot of fun.
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: You know. We went to the baths last weekend. We've
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: been we're doing this thing for the first time. My
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: wife gets still dressed up, a little beautiful. It's it's
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: a lot of fun. So I it was all text
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: messages that day and and um, I saw Bradley and
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: you know, everybody's excited that the Oscars luncheon. I'm doing
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: the thing, the awards season thing that is credible that's
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: pretty neat. So well, I've got to ask you, because
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: this is a gambling podcast, as you're aware, heading into
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: awards season A stars Born was favored in a lot
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: of categories, or it was among the top choices. And
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: now after we've seen the Golden Globes and you just
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: mentioned the BAFTAs over the weekend over in London, the
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: odds have have fallen quite a bit. So do you
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: think there's value on betting that right now? I don't know.
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: I mean the gambler, he says absolutely. Because the other thing,
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: I realized that the Oscar ballot and I don't get
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: doing the weeds here, but the Oscar ballot is different.
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: It's like a weighted ballot. So there's I think it
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: kind of Somebody explains it to me recently and I
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: was like, oh, ship, that explains how like crash happened.
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: You know, if you get if you get a perform
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: if you're getting put second place a lot, and like say,
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: I'm saying other movies getting a lot of first but
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: then gets a bunch of forts and fits. I feel
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: like the second place can win. So I don't know, man,
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: I think I think I'm I'm shock I mean, I
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: I sent, I sent this thing to Bradley. I had
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: to just to put it all on words, just to
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: tell him, I am I'm appaulled that that that he's
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: only given one speech. I mean, I'll hopefully there's no
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: Academy members listening to this, and I'm not blowing the
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: press tour, but uh, if there is one out there,
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: mote stars one, um, there's there's It's just like you,
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: don't you understand he risked everything for this, like he
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: would have you remember how fast when Tobey Maguire like
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: stopped being Spider Man, he just disappeared for the zeitgeist.
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: Like Bradley Cooper literally did nothing but this movie four
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: years He's not exaggerating. I watched him. I started in
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: London with him four years ago. He bet everything on
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: this movie. He learned to play the guitar. He wrote
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: black Eyes, the opening song in the movie. He produced it,
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: he directed it, he willed it into existence. He stayed
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: in the edit room with Jay Cassy, who got robbed
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: by not being nominated. And at the end of the
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: day it's like he's plus whatever five hundred to win
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: actor and with everything across the board where he's not
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: favorite and and I'm sorry, like it doesn't think people
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: who love movies, like people who want more movies like
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: this to be made in this business, should be voting
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: for him because nobody really, I think, understands the risk
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: he took. It's like kind of kind of very rich, handsome,
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: successful person like really take a risk. Well, everything's relative, right,
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: like Bradley wasn't risking his life in a war zone.
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: But he's an artist, and ultimately he's a movie star,
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: and he's an A list movie star and booking his
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: last run of movies like that, he would have had
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: nothing in the can and if a star is born
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: has been a huge bus he he disappears like early
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: at the very least, he takes a huge step back
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: and and it was not obvious people made fun of
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: the movie until the movie started getting screened. Everyone was like,
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: oh shit, this is actually great. Let's pretend we always
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: thought it was great. Like that's so from my perspective,
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: having seen how hard he personally worked. And I haven't
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: even gotten into Gaga. It was literally the only person
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: on earth who could play the role, Like Glenn Close
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: is a legend, and I mean again, it's been gonna
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: if you're gonna lose, like she's amazing, and I get it,
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: like she's unfortunately getting the treatment I think I was
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: hoping Sam would get. But like, I don't know, man,
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: I'm just it's it's I now get to how like, uh,
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: inside locker rooms and sports to turn this rant into
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: something something resembling with the theme of this podcast. Um there,
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: I did not scrib that. By the way, I'm sitting
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: in my car in front of my house and I
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: just I shouldn't have probably said any of that stuff.
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: So uh sorry, but the the uh, what the hell
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: is leaving gonna say? I was gonna say something about, oh,
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: it's a sports locker room, locker room, So I now
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: understand too, how like people people like Kevin Durant finally
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: just freak out in the Breas conference because you know,
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: they just people make up stories in the media like
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: they generate that they have to generate this this bludds
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: constantly to like to keep their jobs and keep people clicking,
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: and and that's the I think that's the collective. A
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: d D has kind of descended on this movie where
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: they won the National Board Review. They won for for actors,
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: for director, and actress, and then it's like, and you
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: just I I thought Robby Mallick winning Golden Globe could
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: be good for us. I thought it was gonna like
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: set set set us as the underdog and set up
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: like an argost situation. And it's the exact opposite. It's
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: just like everybody's just decided, now this is the narrative
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: we're all gonna buy into. And and it's been really
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: crazy to watch up those some personal just knowing how
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: hard everyone worked and the risks everyone took, like shooting
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: for ten minutes on stage coach and if you don't
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: get it, you don't have the opening like five minutes
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: of the movie. Anyway, I'm gonna stop talking now because
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: I had a lot of coffee. That was the most
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: passionate thing that's ever been done on this podcast. So
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: we love it, um can you? But but going through
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: all of this, now, can you do anything else? Like?
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: Is it all consuming? From the moment you're nominated until
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: the moment of the awards ceremony? Is it like a job? Um?
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: It's way more like a job if I was more famous.
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: I think for me, it's definitely been There's been a
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: lot of events and stuff. I'm going to the bath
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: this last weekend with my wife's cams. I was really
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: excited about. But she had to make she had to
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: pump with logistic like breast pumps for her break beating.
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: It was literally like the logistics of it, we're we're crazy.
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: Um so it does. It has spelled for for me,
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: like it's been something every day. Um yeah, you do,
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: like Doe, there's been interview or stuff like you know,
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: that kind of stuff. So it doesn't be like a
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: job and it feels amazing. It's like it's an incredible feeling.
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: Very Jenkins, like this is the nicest guy in the world.
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: The first when I went to the Oscars luncheon I
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: walked in, it was one of those pictures where like
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: they just kind of rand they set people up and
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: it's done by an artist or something, and that's like
• 44:11
  Speaker 1: Adam McKay staying next to me. There's a guy right
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: over my shoulder and he's handcume over my shoulder. It's
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: very Jenkins, just like, Hi, I'm very and I was like,
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: oh my god, I love you know. It's like it's
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: that kind of stuff left and right. You know, it's
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: just surreal and you're around these people I have slend
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: so much respect for and and uh, I've got to
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: know some of like Kevin Wilmot, who wrote Black Clansmen
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: with Spike is just like the nicest guy and it's
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: been super cool man and everybody's it really is. Yeah,
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: you want to win. Everybody's competitive, I think on some level.
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: But you know, at the same time, you really do
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: have to stop and just appreciate that you're here and
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: then you get to do this for for the next
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: couple of weeks. All well, final question here before we
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: let you go, questions you're done? You're done? Yeah, I
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: feel like by the way, I feel like you gotta
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: feel free. If you have the time, you can ask
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: me more questions. I feel like I he probably had
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: some plan of things you want to ad to me,
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: and I just and he's just sitting in front of
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: his house like in the race. Right, that's just rambling.
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: I'm happy to not be dealing with a baby. Most
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: important question of the day, um, which oscars? After party?
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: Will we be attending together? Why are you so? What
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: you deal? Are you coming out for the weekends? When
• 45:19

  Speaker 1: on the red carpet. Will if you get me into
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: a party, I will be there at the Dayton Time. Appointed.
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: I thought you said you were coming in the last
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: five I am going to be in California, so get there,
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: like yeah, I just said I'm gonna be there. When
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: are the Oscars two weeks from a week from Sunday?
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: So I just want to know which party we're going
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: to so I can plan my attire accordingly. Okay, So
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: the only the only party I haven't gotten. I've gotten
• 45:48
  Speaker 1: some invites for parties during the week, um, but I
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: haven't gotten the night up stuff. I could probably get
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: you into Warners or I could probably get you into
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: w I mean, those are the two that I can
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: I can pull my have a little bit of plate. Okay, alright, good,
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: then I'll see you out in California. You're not booking
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: your business trip until you know where you'll be drinking
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: after you're done working. I just want to plan the
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: attire accordingly because on the one hand, obviously I'm something
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: of a trend setter fashion wise, but I don't want
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: to upstage you. So that's fair, that's fair. I've got
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: to do it, do it right. What's amazing to me
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: is like it sounds you're like up all night with
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: the baby before the announcement, You're driving him to school,
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: like it's raining outside, your wife is pumping in the
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: way path to It's like you're not making it sound
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: all that glamorous. Well, well, I mean yeah, it's I
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: don't know, man, I'm kind of I have a hard
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: time just like falling into things. You know, I'm as
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: my nature as maybe a person at the very least
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: as a writer, like I tend to observe my own life.
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: So there is like what we were the pastives in
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: Kate Middleton, Will walked right by us and I was like,
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: that's crazy, you know, Like I'm just I'm more, it's more.
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: I'm just saying I thought about like that for for
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: ten minutes, and and so you know, there arem you
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: have moments throughout the course of it. It's like everything
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: nothing is just one thing. I will say. I remember
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: the first time I met Bradley was right after the
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: Sniper Oscars and I said something to him about like
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: you know, how crazy it must have been, and he
• 47:24
  Speaker 1: kind of cave me this look like it's whatever. Man.
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: Like It's like and it's true. Once you go through,
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: it's like you put on different suits and tuxedos. You go,
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: everyone's nice to you. It's it's amazing. It's so nice.
• 47:36
  Speaker 1: You feel like you're It's like going to a wedding
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: where there's where everyone's the bride and groom. That's how
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: it feels like. One one uh last last question is
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: when it comes to Academy voters, do you think that
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: threats work at all and getting the vote your way?
• 47:52
  Speaker 1: Because I have said, listen, I'm taking it as an
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: assumption that you're gonna win because they know that we're
• 47:57
  Speaker 1: best friends now. So if you don't, they know they're
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: gonna have to deal with me. But if if either
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: Bradley Cooper doesn't win for Best Actor or it doesn't
• 48:04
  Speaker 1: win for Best Picture, I'm gonna write I I'm they're
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: gonna have problems on their hands, because I'm gonna call him.
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: So I met. I met Tony McNamara, who wrote The Favorite,
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: and I love The Favorite and it's weird and awesome.
• 48:16
  Speaker 1: And I told Tony and I said, that's the first
• 48:18
  Speaker 1: thing I could think to say. The first I was like, look, man,
• 48:21
  Speaker 1: that's a movie. I'm happy to lose to you know
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: what I mean, Like, there's the thing that I'm with you, Jack,
• 48:27
  Speaker 1: Please don't murder anyone. I don't think no, I think.
• 48:29
  Speaker 1: I think Harvey Weinstein will tell you that that dirty
• 48:32
  Speaker 1: tricks don't. Yeah, I tell you what, man, you do
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: see the way like everyone's trying to shift the narrative
• 48:42
  Speaker 1: and and it's amazing to me how movies just like
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: the Beamy Rapsy thing is. It's remarkable. I mean, I
• 48:48
  Speaker 1: don't understand. It's again, it's one thing to lose to
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: the favorite, it's another thing to lose you, you know,
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: I would say a more of a well, I'll say
• 48:59
  Speaker 1: it's the movie sucked. It was an awful movie, all right,
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: Rommy Rommy Malick was was good in his role, but
• 49:07
  Speaker 1: the movie sucked. Okay, it was awful. Also, let's just
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: look at this realistically. If you're comparing A Star Is
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: Born in Bohemian Rhapsody, they're both movies that involve musical
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: performances and actors kind of getting into that role. How
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: in God's name can you say Bohemian Rhapsody was a
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: better movie in the music genre than A Star Is
• 49:29
  Speaker 1: Born was. You can't Bradley Cooper made himself into a
• 49:34
  Speaker 1: Grammy Award winning singer for the goddamn role. It's ridiculous.
• 49:38
  Speaker 1: Where's Ronny Mollock's Grammy. He doesn't have one because he
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: stinks gives inside scoop. But my next thing is, I'm
• 49:46
  Speaker 1: gonna write this movie and it's gonna require Bradley to
• 49:49
  Speaker 1: um to become a surgeon, To become a hard surgeon
• 49:52
  Speaker 1: actually performing, you got to go to school and school.
• 49:56
  Speaker 1: The next couple of years he'll be doing that. And
• 49:58
  Speaker 1: then when he's done with, day's gonna come out and
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: they're gonna work in a hospital for a while, and
• 50:01
  Speaker 1: he's gonna like be around doctors and actually like learn
• 50:04
  Speaker 1: how to prescribe medicine and like diagnose. And then and
• 50:07
  Speaker 1: then we're all time. We're dropping in the middle of
• 50:10
  Speaker 1: like um, like a saving private Ryan situation where it's
• 50:13
  Speaker 1: like a real war zone, but it won't be that dangerous.
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: We'll keep a little safe. And then while he's there,
• 50:17
  Speaker 1: he's gonna have to perform like, you know, basic surgery.
• 50:20
  Speaker 1: You know, we're gonna come it. And and then he's
• 50:23
  Speaker 1: gonna lose to George Cooley doing the er in the movie. Listen,
• 50:32
  Speaker 1: we are super psyched for you. We're glad you're having
• 50:34
