    Ohhhh man this was dope. Inspiring Pod! Matt really seems like a well rounded, humble, good hearted dude. It's cool to hear him talk about the early year struggles with Aflek. A lot of times we just see these celeb success stories and assume it's luck but this guy really put his 10,000 hours in. This guy is passionate about his craft, and has really diversified his skill set. The big takeaway is if the opportunity/role doesn't exhist, CREATE IT! (a la Goodwill Hunting)
    Glad it wasn't all about the Sox and Pats. Lots of Rounders 😂😂 . I've actually never seen Rounders or even heard of it, debating a viewing.
    I was hoping to hear some Ocean's 11 stories. That group seems tight.
    Great Pod Bill. Keep'em coming!

      This has been one of my faves. Damon sounds like someone who is very secure in his being. Enjoyed the flat-share stories.
      The only other one from the annals of the BS Report which sticks in my mind is 'Pedof-Isle" -- the Adam Corrola fake movie pitch.
      Yes, the sports bits is just very dry. I don't know anybody who enjoys the Cousin Sal NFL lines podcasts -- apart from the participants. Always feels like youre eves- dropping on someone else's boring convo.

    I must admit....the conversation you had with Gretchen at the beginning when you were trying to get a quickie from her after a night of playing, I'm paraphrasing but i think it goes something like "I promise you won't feel a thing" .....I've used it so many times and my girl melts and gives in more times then not... so thank you for making an impression on me as a young man

    No Departed stories, no Saving Private Ryan stories, no stories about working w/ the fine piece of ass Penelope Cruz, no stories of working with that fine piece of ass Eva Mendez.... Come to think of it no talk of working with Scarlett Johansson. No mention of the Chinese movie he did that was a gigantic disaster: The Great Wall. I'm sure he had some choice stories of that one. No stories of working in Africa in two films: Invictus and Elysium.
    But 25 minutes of Rounders.
