Michael B. Jordan gets life advice just from listening to Samuel Jackson play golf.
And your last advice column comes from Shane Torres.
We've all sent a text message to the wrong person before.
Okay.
So here are your choices, Vanessa.
From Josh Gondelman, how Andrew Lloyd Webber, excuse me, Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber got the idea for Cats from a cat scan.
From Shantira Jackson, how Michael B. Jordan got valuable life advice just by playing golf with Samuel L. Jackson.
And from Shane Torres, how the actor in the lead in Steven Spielberg's new movie got brilliant advice from Spielberg in a text that wasn't even meant for him.
Which of these was the real story of unexpected but life-changing advice in the news?
This is the hardest decision I've ever had to make.
Wow.
Just because I am a cat mom, I'm going to go with A and Andrew Lloyd Webber.
You're going to go with Josh's story of how Andrew Lloyd Webber knew that his next big musical would be about some animal.
Didn't know which one.
No, then I will go with...
I'll go with B then.
You're going to go with B. The second story you heard, that's, I'm sorry, that is Shantira's story of how Michael B. Jordan went golfing.
Well, to bring you the real story, here's actually the person who got that fabulous advice.
That was Josh O'Connor speaking on fresh air about the wise text he accidentally got from Steven Spielberg that led to his acting breakthrough.
I'm so sorry, Vanessa, but as you heard, Shane had the real answer.
