Okay.

$30 million less than Remember the Titans.

Just, you know, in case people are counting at home.

Which just proves my point.

My friend, we were in our early 20s, would listen to the Al Pacino speech on the way to Astro every Tuesday night.

Eric Ten Hag played it for United when they won the FA Cup a lot of sports teams it's really I mean it's become an iconic anyone watching please type into YouTube Patio Pacino and it's Patio Shea's Westmead 2004 speech with this music and it looks like you know he's pointing at Jamie Foxx and it's like unbelievable I actually begged Joe could I include a clip but we said for time we wouldn't be able to a friend of mine told me please look it up in your own YouTube a friend of mine told me that he heard a kids football team was being played this which is just irresponsible yeah

Okay.

Any given Sunday.

I'll rubber stamp that.

I picked Moneyball.

here's the clip so this is obviously real life failed baseball player for the Mets is now coaching the Oakland A's Billy Bean 44 years of age and the team is underfunded and so Sabermetrics is just being born and Billy Bean finds a way to outmanoeuvre the big boys the scene here is Brad Pitt Billy Bean Brad Pitt very good in this unbelievable yeah excellent performance yeah yeah

And he's just been in a meeting with the Cleveland Indians and wanted Garcia.

And a quiet, perspectival young man on the corner seems to be catching the eye of the general manager and either shaking his head or nodding.

And then Brad's like, who is this guy?

And it's Jonah Hill who's also, like there's a subtlety here to Jonah Hill.

I prefer this version of Jonah Hill to the other version of Jonah Hill.

An intelligence and a kind of a depth to him.

But he has been the silent kingmaker in this meeting.

And so Brad Pitt follows Jonah Hill out to his, it's an open plan office, fairly dull cubicle and wants to know what the hell happened in that meeting.

Why?
