The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: John Ortiz Loves The Boost Mobile Hotline

I love the boost mobile hotline. That thing was just so entertaining. I was just like, give me more. And now I'm just obsessed with chit. Anyway, so so we're we're hanging out. Which seems like forever, but it's really like three minutes, right? Before they get the cameras going and waiting for action. Very first action I hear ever professionally from Brian De Palma.

Yeah, I'm kind of pissed. A buddy of mine who's a Clippers fan just texted me at 7 in the morning out here, and I just responded by saying I hate basketball, which is, of course, not true. But I'm really down, but I'm not nervous at all. We're definitely going to take the series.

So what I'm loving about it is that it's a real throwback to when I first fell in love with the Knicks, which was when Bernard King was dropping 50 every night.

Big time! That is my infamous scale of 1 to 10. That's a 7.6. Solid. Good job, Zaz. That's a suey nominee right there. Zaz asking what he did this weekend now. The next time I come on the show, if I'm fortunate enough to ever be invited, I got to tell you one of the best stories of that scene, of that moment, actually.

I'll give you the very short version, but I couldn't, I was, I was on very little sleep because we shot that over the course of two days and I, and it took way over the 12 hours to complete the first day. And they called me in, in like a six to seven hour break the next day, because I had to put on the prosthetic for my neck. And that took a long time.

So I had very little sleep, maybe like an hour. So I was on caffeine the whole day. And when we finally got to that scene, which was at the very, very end of the night, Pacino needed to fly to LA for the Oscars. He was nominated for two that year. And for anyone who can answer the two movies that he was nominated for, I'll send you a prize. And I'll give you a couple of minutes.
