Speaker 1: Calm Down with Aaron and Chrissa is a production of
Speaker 1: I Heart Radio. I full disclosure. I fully showered, fully
Speaker 1: washed my hair, even blew this hair out and then
Speaker 1: put it in a plenty tail like I always do.
Speaker 1: But why did I do that? Because Matt Damon is
Speaker 1: on the podcast today. Aaron, you look at you definitely
Speaker 1: did a blowout. Alan. We did a deep condition, deep condition.
Speaker 1: We changed up the lights. We we did a speed
Speaker 1: test all around the house in Montana to make sure
Speaker 1: the WiFi was good. It can't crap out on that Damon.
Speaker 1: You know you're the queen of impersonations. He's in a movie,
Speaker 1: a new movie called Still Water, which is out in
Speaker 1: theaters on July. Matt Damon, what a dream. We have
Speaker 1: so many questions for him. Of course, the sports side
Speaker 1: of things. We have Matt Damon on our podcast. We
Speaker 1: have Matt freaking Damon. Jimmy Kimmel hates him. We love him.
Speaker 1: I mean, we have Matt Damon. How about them apples?
Speaker 1: You know that, Well, we're going to get all of
Speaker 1: them out and talk about the things that he has
Speaker 1: going on in his life. He's so great, But I
Speaker 1: need you to give me an impersonation of Bill Baker.
Speaker 1: So he plays this guy Bill Baker in the movie.
Speaker 1: Everyone please go out and see it when it comes
Speaker 1: out in theaters. But he plays how what do we
Speaker 1: calling him a roughneck? What is he called in the
Speaker 1: movie a roughneck? He works on an oilf neck in Oklahoma,
Speaker 1: and you're the queen of impersonation, So I need a
Speaker 1: Bill Baker. He was. He was great too. He had
Speaker 1: the goatee, he was jacked up. He walked like he
Speaker 1: had the plaid top buttoned up to the top with
Speaker 1: the wranglers. I thought he was adorable. Really how this movie?
Speaker 1: Um yeah, there's a scene where the girl he becomes
Speaker 1: close with, the little girl Maya, is locked out of
Speaker 1: his room. He's like, Yea, you locked out and she's
Speaker 1: like what, okay, you need your ky And he was
Speaker 1: talking about he was great. I mean, here's the thing.
Speaker 1: This out there are my people. But I can't do entertainment.
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, you were good. I actually I thank you. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I was in on it. I love seeing a movie again,
Speaker 1: what about you? We talked about this a lot. It
Speaker 1: was great just seeing a movie. I was telling you.
Speaker 1: So when I was working full time at Extra we
Speaker 1: would always have to go I shouldn't say always we
Speaker 1: would go to these junkets because you know, doing these
Speaker 1: interviews with actors and actresses, you needed to see the
Speaker 1: movie beforehand. Well, on average, you'd go to like two
Speaker 1: of these things a week for all the interviews that
Speaker 1: we were doing. I haven't been to a screening in
Speaker 1: two and a half years. I have never been more
Speaker 1: excited to go to a screening. And you know, after
Speaker 1: a while, you're like, oh, got another one of these things.
Speaker 1: I was the first one there. I like had the
Speaker 1: theater all to myself. I was like, Okay, pick my seat.
Speaker 1: I was so jacked up to go into a movie theater.
Speaker 1: And because it's him, I mean, the unbelievable Academy Award
Speaker 1: winner along with a hundred million other awards that he's won.
Speaker 1: But yeah, it was really great to watch a movie again.
Speaker 1: So I'm excited to talk to him about that, and
Speaker 1: not to mention his sports connections. I mean, being you know,
Speaker 1: from Boston, so well have you met him before. I've
Speaker 1: done an interview with him before in the junket thing.
Speaker 1: But again, see, this is why I'm excited to have
Speaker 1: him on our podcast because we get him for more
Speaker 1: than two minutes. You know how it is, because you've
Speaker 1: been on the other side of those things. When you
Speaker 1: walk in and it's your seven hundred interview of the day,
Speaker 1: they're like, just I remember I was doing an interview
Speaker 1: one time with Alexander scars Guard and Margot Robbie and
Speaker 1: it was for Tarzan And at this point, like I
Speaker 1: am like the last one on the list. They are
Speaker 1: so sick of answering the same questions I went in
Speaker 1: with my agenda questions I was supposed to ask to
Speaker 1: bring back to extra. I sat down. I could see
Speaker 1: their faces being like yeah, like knowing I was going
Speaker 1: to ask all the same ship that everyone else was asking,
Speaker 1: I just handed them the question you do so I did.
Speaker 1: I handed them the piece of paper and I go,
Speaker 1: which one of these you guys want to answer? They
Speaker 1: were like, let's see what you've got, and they were
Speaker 1: like so into it, and then they started asking each
Speaker 1: other questions. I literally didn't ask one question, and it
Speaker 1: was the cutest interview because they started mocking the whole
Speaker 1: like what did you do to prepare for this role?
Speaker 1: And like all those annoying questions that these poor actors
Speaker 1: get over and over again. So it was awesome to
Speaker 1: like at I'll switch it up. But that's why I
Speaker 1: like a podcast format too. It's so much chill, more chill,
Speaker 1: good English. But I try to do that a lot,
Speaker 1: like with our features, right, and and certain guys you
Speaker 1: can do more of it because you're comfortable you have
Speaker 1: a great relationship with them. Like I Rogers always jokes
Speaker 1: with me about the paper that I have sitting in
Speaker 1: front of me and I have scribbles all over it,
Speaker 1: and he sees it and I redo it, and then
Speaker 1: he always knows there's a question or two in there
Speaker 1: from my dad, right, So I always preface it by that,
Speaker 1: and I'm always like, here's one from Clark, and it's
Speaker 1: like usually one he's not going to like repeat on air,
Speaker 1: but it's like for me to pass along and tell
Speaker 1: to my dad. And I think last year when I
Speaker 1: saw Brady on a zoom and I did an interview
Speaker 1: with him, he knows and I have told him stories
Speaker 1: before about preparation. I've also asked him who does he like,
Speaker 1: who does he not like? And they know when you're
Speaker 1: ready to go and or if it's just like the
Speaker 1: same crap. So it says here, but he sat down.
Speaker 1: He goes, you're good, and I said yeah, and he goes,
Speaker 1: did you study? And I was huh, and I started
Speaker 1: my favorite and it's like I always got scribbles all
Speaker 1: over it. Sorry, go ahead, what no tell me you
Speaker 1: are going to say? Because I don't like having a
Speaker 1: paper in front of me. The only reason I don't
Speaker 1: is because then I feel like I'll catch myself looking
Speaker 1: down and it. Do you even look at your notes
Speaker 1: during an interview? Because I don't feel like you do,
Speaker 1: And here's my Matt Damon notes, Like, yeah, I don't
Speaker 1: look at them. And I also like afterwards always say
Speaker 1: to Joel, who's our features producer. I'm always like, Joel,
Speaker 1: you good? Anything else? But look, I think there's one
Speaker 1: thing you've got to listen, right, There's one, you know,
Speaker 1: because there's something could come up and you question them
Speaker 1: on it and everything like that, and you know you
Speaker 1: could miss something really important. But yeah, I'm a big notes.
Speaker 1: I've interesting because we have notes for our Matt Damon interview.
Speaker 1: This interview could start and none of these questions could
Speaker 1: even be asked. To your point about interviewing one oh one,
Speaker 1: listen to what the person is saying because they were
Speaker 1: going to take you in another direction and follow them
Speaker 1: and then obviously if you have to bring it back
Speaker 1: because the publicists also wants you to ask questions about
Speaker 1: the movie you're interviewing them, not just what's your favorite color?
Speaker 1: But yeah, that's interesting how everyone does different prep. Huh. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm excited. I'm excited. What's one of your questions on
Speaker 1: your list right there? Well, Jared wants me to ask
Speaker 1: him about Jason Bourne and if there's going to be
Speaker 1: any more Jason Bourne because he's dying for them. Um,
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm just excited. I have talked to
Speaker 1: him really really quickly before, you know, when he was
Speaker 1: with his family, so I didn't want to bother him. Also,
Speaker 1: my husband was like freaking out that he was actually
Speaker 1: in the same building as us, and I was like,
Speaker 1: get it together, um, And he wanted to go ski
Speaker 1: with him, and you know, I want to spend the
Speaker 1: whole day with him, and I was like, please just
Speaker 1: leave the building. But um no, I'm just excited he
Speaker 1: I feel like all of us just think we know
Speaker 1: Matt Damon so much. You and I grew up with him.
Speaker 1: I feel like he's just one of those guys that
Speaker 1: just seems so easy to talk to. I wanted to go, well,
Speaker 1: you know, not to mention he's one of those people.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's he's, you know, one of the greatest
Speaker 1: actors that we've ever seen, for the reason that he
Speaker 1: is believable in every single role he's in, right, like,
Speaker 1: no matter what the movie, no matter what the genre
Speaker 1: of the movie, Like, he's just that person that you
Speaker 1: boy and in this movie, I'm like, oh, you're Bill Baker,
Speaker 1: like we're about to interview him, and that is just
Speaker 1: it's a testament to being a good actor. I have
Speaker 1: never have you ever wanted to be? Then that little
Speaker 1: French accent? I love that little girl in this movie.
Speaker 1: I have to ask him here, but um, have you
Speaker 1: ever wanted to do anything involving acting? No, I mean
Speaker 1: that's not my thing. It's not we're live TV kind
Speaker 1: of people like react, react to what happens next. I
Speaker 1: can't imagine having to do the same scene over and
Speaker 1: over and over again. We don't have the patience for that.
Speaker 1: I don't have the patience anymore for us talking because
Speaker 1: Matt Damon's up next, so you know what, enough with us.
Speaker 1: We'll be back with more Calm Down podcast. Oh I'm sorry, Matt,
Speaker 1: Damon's coming up. Oh look at that. Hi. Hi, how
Speaker 1: are you Matt? I'm good, I'm really good. Good. Thank
Speaker 1: you for doing this. We appreciate thank you so much.
Speaker 1: You know. The good thing about all of this, Matt
Speaker 1: is Aaron and I were talking before you got on here.
Speaker 1: It felt so good to watch a movie again, and
Speaker 1: like going in and actually seeing a screener off Wilsher Boulevard.
Speaker 1: I've never been happier to go into that screening room.
Speaker 1: I'm telling you right now, I can't imagine how you feel. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean I got to see this with an audience
Speaker 1: in France and at the festival. I was like, I
Speaker 1: got totally overwhelmed. It snuck up on me because I
Speaker 1: didn't realize. I mean, I knew I missed going to movies,
Speaker 1: but I didn't. And it sounds awful. I got choked
Speaker 1: up in my own movie, but but it was actually
Speaker 1: it was more that there were people again in the
Speaker 1: movie theater, like it just felt different. Hell about performance.
Speaker 1: I felt the same way with and just watching their
Speaker 1: full disclosure my husband, who is the biggest fan in
Speaker 1: the world. I was just telling Christ was a scene
Speaker 1: a lot of them where you're walking with a purpose,
Speaker 1: and he said out loud, God, I love him. And
Speaker 1: I was like, I know, but it's just so great
Speaker 1: to see on screen again. And you talked about getting
Speaker 1: choked up. What are you so excited about, Maybe just
Speaker 1: the same experience, Chris and I had you yourself of
Speaker 1: people getting back and watching this again. Yeah, I mean,
Speaker 1: I think it's a good reminder. I think that, you know,
Speaker 1: after watching things for eighteen months on our televisions at home, like,
Speaker 1: because I worry about that with my own kids watching
Speaker 1: like it's a different thing. When you go to a
Speaker 1: movie theater. It's it's like you're going to church, right,
Speaker 1: It's like it's a different it's a different type of experience.
Speaker 1: The movie starts when it starts, and you have to
Speaker 1: be there and it doesn't stop. If you need to
Speaker 1: get up, it keeps going, and so you have to.
Speaker 1: You're at the behest of the movie a little more
Speaker 1: than when you're at home. And you know, my kids
Speaker 1: are just used to totally controlling what they watch, like
Speaker 1: it'll stop and start whenever they want. They can go
Speaker 1: do something, think about something to go play. They can
Speaker 1: go and make popcorn. They can do anything they want,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. It's a very different relationship
Speaker 1: to what they're taking in than I had when I
Speaker 1: was their age, and I missed that. I I like that.
Speaker 1: I like that people pay attention to the work that,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, versus uh, you know, being
Speaker 1: distracted and dealing with a bunch of other stuff, you know,
Speaker 1: and watching it on a laptop or a phone. And
Speaker 1: by the way, that we didn't even need to introduce you,
Speaker 1: because it's weird being like, hey, this is Matt Damon.
Speaker 1: It's normally what we say on a Monday, you know,
Speaker 1: of a podcast. I was just like casual. Um, I
Speaker 1: would say, we would list all your accolades, but we
Speaker 1: only have you for twenty minutes. We'll make it quick.
Speaker 1: But you mentioned your daughter. Um, there was all you
Speaker 1: doing press and talking about your daughter, saying that she
Speaker 1: won't watch your movies. I find this very entertaining. How
Speaker 1: come I don't know, I mean, she just she's just
Speaker 1: like no. I think I think if she thinks I
Speaker 1: might be good in the movie, she doesn't want to
Speaker 1: watch it. She loves giving me ship basically, and she's
Speaker 1: really funny, and she like, so any time I bring
Speaker 1: a movie, she brings up the ones that didn't work
Speaker 1: and she's like, no, no no, I know you were in
Speaker 1: this one. And I'm like, you know, I feel like
Speaker 1: something like good well hunting. She just flat out won't see.
Speaker 1: She's just like, no, I'm not interested. What is she
Speaker 1: interested in? Maybe going to any games with you or
Speaker 1: you know, taking on your love of sports, because I
Speaker 1: mean we're two girls that did that because of our dads.
Speaker 1: We know how much you love Boston. Any interest in that,
Speaker 1: I'll definitely be able to start dragon your to two things,
Speaker 1: you know, you know, moving to New York this fall.
Speaker 1: I mean, but what she really wants, what she's really into. Actually,
Speaker 1: all my kids are like, I'll be able to take
Speaker 1: her to a lot of concerts, you know. Um, you know,
Speaker 1: she's a huge you know Taylor Swift fan, Harry Styles
Speaker 1: like that stuff, and and she you know, she she's
Speaker 1: like loves, you know, playing music in the house. She
Speaker 1: can play you know, Billie Eilish, she can play all
Speaker 1: these songs on the piano. And she's teaching herself guitar
Speaker 1: and like, you know, my youngest is like writing all
Speaker 1: this poetry, and she's like, she's like, Dad, I've written
Speaker 1: a hundred and twenties songs. And then she reads and
Speaker 1: then about these things that you know, they're there are
Speaker 1: ten year old's approximation of what an adult song sound like.
Speaker 1: You know what I mean, because she's there dealing with
Speaker 1: concepts that she hasn't even kind of come into contact
Speaker 1: with in her real life yet because she's just ten.
Speaker 1: But they're pretty awesome. I want to know what concert
Speaker 1: you want to go to. I went to a Paul
Speaker 1: McCartney concert with my dad a couple of years ago
Speaker 1: at Dodger Stadium. Got full on hammered and I was
Speaker 1: Ringo showed up. Yes, were you there? No? No, I
Speaker 1: was on the other side of the world, but it
Speaker 1: came across my and No, it was my daughter, my
Speaker 1: fifteen year old who likes she's into music. She was like,
Speaker 1: Dad checked this out and we watched the moment when
Speaker 1: when the remaining beatles. That was amazing. Yeah, that was
Speaker 1: really cool. Even more so, he walked in front of
Speaker 1: us and I could hear. I could hear better than
Speaker 1: my dad and people saying Ringo, ringko, rinko, and I'm like,
Speaker 1: holy sh it Dad. I think ringoes walking and my
Speaker 1: dad's like what what he saw him walk right by us.
Speaker 1: Then he's on this stage and just singing together with
Speaker 1: my dad. I mean forever two years is amazing. I
Speaker 1: bet that's awesome. That's amazing. Yeah, we're looking at what's
Speaker 1: coming through New York. We're in Brooklyn, so we're looking
Speaker 1: at Barclay and and and MSG, so like, yeah, there's
Speaker 1: a bunch coming. I think Harry Styles is playing like
Speaker 1: around my birthday in October, which my my my daughter
Speaker 1: is ute. We will be going to that one definitely. Well, Matt,
Speaker 1: you're the ultimate girl dad. How much did you draw
Speaker 1: upon your relationship with your girls for this movie, because obviously,
Speaker 1: you know Maya, who I just fell in love with.
Speaker 1: I I wanted to just take her home with me
Speaker 1: or moved to France, one of the two. But um,
Speaker 1: how much did that help you in this particular role
Speaker 1: as Bill Baker. Well, yeah, that I mean, so the
Speaker 1: movie is about Yeah, my I've got my daughter who's
Speaker 1: in jail in the movie, and uh in Marseilles in France,
Speaker 1: and that's a relationship that you know in the story.
Speaker 1: I've done all this damage too, I've you know, I was,
Speaker 1: you know, an alcoholic and an addict and and with
Speaker 1: an absentee dad and kind of carry all this guilt
Speaker 1: and aime and feel responsible for for where she finds herself.
Speaker 1: And so the movie's about this guy trying to repair
Speaker 1: that relationship and then kind of falling into this relationship
Speaker 1: with this little eight year old girl who ends up
Speaker 1: he kind of has the relationship with her that he
Speaker 1: couldn't have with his own daughter. And and so yeah,
Speaker 1: she Lulu was the little girl's name who plays Maya.
Speaker 1: And uh. After like the first day of shooting, Tom
Speaker 1: and I had like a come to Jesus meeting, Like
Speaker 1: we sat down and we were like, Okay, this kid's
Speaker 1: like pitching a no hit her, Like don't talk about it,
Speaker 1: like like how do we make it? We gotta keep
Speaker 1: it really light and keep it really fun for her,
Speaker 1: Like don't like keep everyone away from her. Don't like
Speaker 1: because you know a lot of times well meaning kind
Speaker 1: of people around the project and can start giving notes
Speaker 1: to little kids and they just start confusing them and
Speaker 1: you know, they end up kind of pulling faces and
Speaker 1: you know, and it's like, just get everybody away from her,
Speaker 1: and like let's make this really fun for because we
Speaker 1: were saying, she's like the the you know, the Meryl
Speaker 1: Streep of eight year old. Yeah, but she's she's really
Speaker 1: incredible and she just naturally just kind of couldn't do
Speaker 1: it the same way twice, which is which is like
Speaker 1: a thing. It takes a long time to learn that. Um,
Speaker 1: but she just intuitively knew that. What is that thing
Speaker 1: called disclaimer alert? What is it when people are like,
Speaker 1: don't tell us the ending? Like close your ears now,
Speaker 1: I'm going to say that whatever people say when they're
Speaker 1: watching a Bachelor or some crap like that, spoiler alert,
Speaker 1: disclaimer alert, Well stick to sports, gal Um, can you
Speaker 1: I went to Florida, you went to Harvard, We get it? Um, okay,
Speaker 1: spoiler alert? Can you just go back and get them? Like?
Speaker 1: I love the ending. I thought it was perfect. We're
Speaker 1: sitting there, you're talking to your your daughter, you know,
Speaker 1: back in Oklahoma. Just go get them, go get go
Speaker 1: get them. I know. It's what's so brutal about the movie.
Speaker 1: It's so heartbreaking. And and I said that we shot
Speaker 1: we shot all the Marseilles stuff first, which was great
Speaker 1: because that Oklahoma stuff at the end really was kind
Speaker 1: of full because it had real meaning because we lived
Speaker 1: through that and it's like we believe when we walked
Speaker 1: back into the house that that he had chosen for
Speaker 1: Bill's house by myself with my suitcase and like looked around.
Speaker 1: I was like, this is this is so depressing. But
Speaker 1: you think about that department that opened up and it
Speaker 1: was all of Marseilles in the Mediterranean, this life that
Speaker 1: this guy had there, And no, I love the ending
Speaker 1: because it's like the world's never going to look the
Speaker 1: same to that guy. You know, she and she and
Speaker 1: you know his his daughter says, doesn't at all look
Speaker 1: the same, and he's like, not at all, not at all,
Speaker 1: Like it'll you know, I don't hardly recognize it anymore. Yeah, um,
Speaker 1: I I covered the Big Ten for my college football time.
Speaker 1: Aaron spent a lot of time in still Water. So
Speaker 1: before you jumped on, what was the bar that you
Speaker 1: wanted to ask Matt if he went to? Oh, I
Speaker 1: can't I'd love to know if Matt Damon went to
Speaker 1: ask him O Joe's. But I don't know if you
Speaker 1: can go to any bar anymore like you did back
Speaker 1: in the day. But did anyone take you by ask
Speaker 1: him o Joe's Yeah, sterling hard Joe, the director from
Speaker 1: Oklahoma who was a friend of Tom's, kind of gave us,
Speaker 1: you know, took us around still Water a little bit.
Speaker 1: So we didn't have a lot of time in Stillwater
Speaker 1: because it was more about it was more about getting
Speaker 1: out to those oil rigs. But yeah, I got a
Speaker 1: little tour of still Waters. It's great there. Yeah, you
Speaker 1: you were out there a lot. Huh, Well, I'm a
Speaker 1: what about I'm a Ford what what? What's Gundy's line?
Speaker 1: Don't come at me. I'm I'm forty right, Coach band
Speaker 1: Gunny or coach Gundy from man Man. Oh, yes, I
Speaker 1: spent a ton of time in still Water. Just can
Speaker 1: you maybe tell us best memory coming from there? For me,
Speaker 1: it was meeting those roughnecks. It was like going to there,
Speaker 1: it was like it was just it was such a
Speaker 1: such a different culture than from where I'm from, you know,
Speaker 1: but like just a great that they were like this family.
Speaker 1: I mean, they just could not Kenny Baker, this guy
Speaker 1: who helped us. We actually named Bill Baker after him,
Speaker 1: you know, it's just kind of a nod to him.
Speaker 1: We gave him the same last name just because we
Speaker 1: were so grateful to Kenny and but just you know
Speaker 1: his you know, his whole family. Mean, we literally went
Speaker 1: had a barbecue like you know, shot shotguns like you know.
Speaker 1: I mean, it was just I could not have They
Speaker 1: could not have been more welcoming. It couldn't have been
Speaker 1: more fun. And the movie really is what it is
Speaker 1: because of their health, like it wouldn't be, you know
Speaker 1: it was. It's such a specific thing to be a
Speaker 1: rough kneck that we really wanted to get it right
Speaker 1: and we couldn't have got it right without them. So
Speaker 1: so that was definitely my best Oklahoma memory. It was funny.
Speaker 1: We're sitting in we were on in the Collongus in Marseille,
Speaker 1: which that beautiful area with where we shot that scene,
Speaker 1: and we rehearsed it once and I said theater and
Speaker 1: Tom said, Matt, not theater, theater, theater. I said, I
Speaker 1: think it's theater. And we called Kenny, like Kenny. He
Speaker 1: was like, yes, Like Kenny, would you say theater or theater?
Speaker 1: And he was like theater and I was like like,
Speaker 1: So that was that We definitely double checked our work
Speaker 1: because we wanted to get it right. Amazing, Matt, at
Speaker 1: this point in your career. You can do anything, any role.
Speaker 1: Why do you pick the roles that you pick? Now,
Speaker 1: specifically why this one? This one because I wanted to
Speaker 1: work with Tom. I just love his movies, and I
Speaker 1: just loved this story. I thought it was beautiful. And
Speaker 1: then later in the year, I have another one coming
Speaker 1: out called The Last Duel that we Ben and I
Speaker 1: wrote with Nicole Holliff Center, and it was just this
Speaker 1: incredible story about fourteenth century France and the last sanctioned
Speaker 1: duel to the death. Between these two nights, one of
Speaker 1: whom claimed the other raped his wife, and so we
Speaker 1: saw it as this kind of story of perspective. So
Speaker 1: Ben and I wrote the two male perspectives and Nicole
Speaker 1: wrote the female perspective, and we put him together. I
Speaker 1: think it's gonna be really good, but it just was interesting.
Speaker 1: It was like a really I think, I just I
Speaker 1: just I'm looking to do stuff that I think it's
Speaker 1: going to be good. Um, you know, it's I kind
Speaker 1: of just choose things kind of like each one's a
Speaker 1: one off. You know. It's like if it's kind of
Speaker 1: you never know. Like it's like I tell my daughter Isabella,
Speaker 1: we don't get to see the movie before we make
Speaker 1: it doesn't stop her from giving me ship when they
Speaker 1: don't work well, I just hope, hopefully I'll make some
Speaker 1: more good ones. I think you're doing all right. I
Speaker 1: think this active thing might work out well for you.
Speaker 1: What was your first movie, Mystic Pizza? First line in
Speaker 1: the feature yet first line in the feature? So doesn't that? Okay?
Speaker 1: Aaron and I have an affinity for Julia Roberts, Like,
Speaker 1: I mean, who doesn't you have to Okay, you have
Speaker 1: to give us just a little bit of Julia Roberts
Speaker 1: that like we would never have access to that you have.
Speaker 1: What I mean, is she as wonderful as Yes, yes
Speaker 1: she is. She is. And look from that, it's funny
Speaker 1: that I ended up. You know, I worked for like
Speaker 1: three days on Mystic Pizza when that was her big,
Speaker 1: one of her first big breaks, and she was like
Speaker 1: nineteen years old and uh and then she blew up
Speaker 1: into the biggest movie star in the world. And then
Speaker 1: I worked with her again years later on the Oceans movies,
Speaker 1: and like, she just couldn't be cooler and nicer and
Speaker 1: she's everything you would want her to be. You know,
Speaker 1: we love that because coming from sports, when people like
Speaker 1: ask Aaron like, how is Tom Brady? And he's like,
Speaker 1: as advertised, it's nice when you get the other side
Speaker 1: of that. So will you be going to the game
Speaker 1: on October three? That's an excellent question. I'm definitely watching it,
Speaker 1: and I'll be in New York, so I might be
Speaker 1: able to make it up. That might also be the
Speaker 1: same night as the Harry Styles come. We got a
Speaker 1: problem here, rock Paper is going to be watching that game.
Speaker 1: I mean that is like, I I can't wait, I
Speaker 1: can't wait. I look, I'm I'm you guys. I'm sure
Speaker 1: Aaron knows what a fan I am of Tom, Like
Speaker 1: I love that guy and he is as nice as people.
Speaker 1: You can't actually believe how nice that guy is. And
Speaker 1: and I'm like, I'm all in on on his on
Speaker 1: his career, like everyone's like, you know, back home and
Speaker 1: like you're a Bucks fan? What's wrong with you? Bro?
Speaker 1: But it's like I just loved Tom and I and
Speaker 1: I you know, if there's a Patriots game on and
Speaker 1: a Bucks game on, I'm watching the Bucks game until
Speaker 1: until Tommy hangs him up. Definitely when the news came out,
Speaker 1: because we were working the NFC Championship and there was
Speaker 1: like rumors he's gonna go maybe Tampa, and I was like,
Speaker 1: shut up, we'll see what happens, and obviously talked to him.
Speaker 1: But the news comes out he's gone. What's your thought?
Speaker 1: He is no longer going to be a pat. I
Speaker 1: already knew he wasn't gonna be Yeah, because he talked
Speaker 1: to him. I didn't know what say. Yeah, I didn't know.
Speaker 1: I didn't know where he was going to go, and
Speaker 1: he didn't know where he was gonna go. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: think for I mean, that was the sense I got.
Speaker 1: I mean, Ben talked to him around that time. I
Speaker 1: didn't even immediately called me, you know, downloaded, like what
Speaker 1: what was up? But uh, but yeah, I mean, you know, look,
Speaker 1: I mean it's like he's you know, I hope he
Speaker 1: plays till he's fifty, but but he has every I'm
Speaker 1: glad he kind of took control of his destiny. And
Speaker 1: I'm glad that they've taken such good care of him
Speaker 1: down there, like that seems amazing, Like the fact that
Speaker 1: they got all their starters back like that that team,
Speaker 1: you know, and that defense is young and flies around
Speaker 1: that good so good and uh and now they're all
Speaker 1: know like they already all won a Super Bowl. Now
Speaker 1: it's all like, all right, where are we gonna do
Speaker 1: this year? I mean, I can't wait. Man, it's gonna
Speaker 1: be It's gonna be a lot of fun. Look out
Speaker 1: your window. Devin White's probably on a horse out there
Speaker 1: in Montana. As we know. I will say spoil alert
Speaker 1: and I will use it. Right. Uh, that arm looks great.
Speaker 1: I may or may not have sat in on a
Speaker 1: few throwing sessions. And it's just like, I love him
Speaker 1: because I know, Matt, you're fifty, I'm forty three. He
Speaker 1: just makes it look so damn good. And when you
Speaker 1: guys talked about Julia Roberts, I was like I always
Speaker 1: say to people, Tom is so fresh, he smells fresh.
Speaker 1: Who's all better? Tom or Julia Roberts? I need a
Speaker 1: great question, Aaron, that's an some question. Those are two
Speaker 1: of the best smelling people. But yeah, to your point,
Speaker 1: like the idea that people thought this dude was gonna
Speaker 1: fall off a cliff right right? What arm are you
Speaker 1: looking at if you think there's been any fall? People?
Speaker 1: You talk about his production. Production doesn't always have to
Speaker 1: do with the quarterback. It has to do with a
Speaker 1: lot of other things. Look at the velocity on the ball.
Speaker 1: It's all They're like, you know, I don't know, I
Speaker 1: mean it. You know, if he's falling off a cliff,
Speaker 1: it ain't. It ain't yet. You know when I saw
Speaker 1: that velocity on that arm going into the second half
Speaker 1: of that Packers game, you know what I mean? Um, Scottyller,
Speaker 1: do you get to watch the Red Sox in Australia
Speaker 1: at all? Like? What time or they those games on? No?

Speaker 1: bit of a separation, Like it wasn't it's not a divorce.
Speaker 1: We can't do what. We're married to the Red Sox forever.
Speaker 1: But with the Mookie thing, like I definitely, I definitely
Speaker 1: moved into a though for a little while. Yeah, it
Speaker 1: was conscience uncoupling or something right. And some time I know,
Speaker 1: I know we're going to be back together, and I
Speaker 1: know it's the marriage that I want. But I love
Speaker 1: you mad to bring it back because then we gotta
Speaker 1: let you go. But Tom may have seven rings, which
Speaker 1: one is his favorite? We will ask him when he's
Speaker 1: all said and done, because he's living next for he
Speaker 1: always said, the next one, the next one, Right, But
