Und auf deinen Taxen schreiben und sagen, hey, das Inventar, das ich gegeben habe, war wert von einem Millionen Dollar, 100.000 Dollar, ein paar Millionen Dollar. somehow tax write-offs
And I think part of it that frustrated me was that while I understand the messages and it's important to teach people about perseverance or honesty or being truthful or whatever. We are a pro-perseverance podcast. Yes. For the record. It's important. And I'm not saying it isn't. But shouldn't that be going to a foundation that's trying to help people? Get people clean water.
There are just so many things out there that are bigger issues in my mind than, you know, hey, I'm really happy Shaq got his degree in perseverance. But I need more.
Alex. So I've got their tax returns in front of me and it's, there are production company names on some of these tax returns that they've filed. And my process was take the name on the tax return, put it into LinkedIn, take the name on the tax return, put it into Instagram.
And in doing that, I found two former employees and just DM both of them and was like, Hey guys, very odd question here, but I'm trying to find this person. Can you help me? And One of them got back to me and said, I'd love to help. I wasn't working on that ad campaign or I wasn't there at that time, but I know someone who can help. They've been there for forever. I'd love to connect to you.
Ich habe gesagt, gib mir deine E-Mail. Ich habe einen E-Mail-Thread mitgebracht und sie haben mich direkt zurückgebracht zu der ursprünglichen Sekretärin. An diesem Punkt war ich ein bisschen überrascht, weil ich dachte, die Sekretärin denkt definitiv, dass ich ein Verrückter bin. Es ging also sehr viel zurück zu Square One. Ein großer Verrückter.
Ich dachte wirklich, dass ich in die richtige Richtung gehen würde. An diesem bestimmten Moment dachte ich, ich muss auf Twitter gehen und sie für Hilfe bitten, weil... I need some sort of closure on this. And part of me not wanting to tweet it was because I was worried someone else would beat me to the story.
So I put out there, okay, this is an odd request, but can anyone on here help me find this actor from the famous sportsmanship basketball ad? And 29 minutes later, a motion graphic designer for the Las Vegas Golden Knights replied and said, might be former player, now current assistant coach at the University of Denver, named BJ Porter. Meine Hände schluchzten, als ich ihn bekommen habe.
Ich dachte, das könnte er sein. Dann klicke ich auf sein Twitter. Und er folgte mir bereits. Er hat mich die ganze Zeit gefolgt.
Ich war so froh, dass ich ihn endlich treffen konnte. Die Niveaus sind alle gut. Alles klar. Er ist jetzt 35, er hat ein bisschen Schmerz. Du kannst ihn nicht unbedingt als Alex kennenlernen, aber er hat einen großen, starken Lächeln. Er ist wirklich einer der schönsten Leute, die du jemals treffen wirst.
Wait, what? This is now a little creepy, Zach. Did he know you? Had you ever actually met him before in real life? We hadn't met, but we had been in the same room a couple of times. So he played basketball at Portland with my friend Luke Sikma. This is of the basketball playing Sikmas. Yes, Jack Sikmas son. Amazing.
So when Portland would come to LA and play Pepperdine or LMU in their set schedule, my whole family would go to the game. So I was in the stands, BJ was on this team and I had no idea.
Die Erinnerung ist ein bisschen feucht. Das war, bevor ich nach Arizona State ging, was, Gott weiß, ein bisschen zu meinem Gehirn verletzt hat.
You know, he talked a bit about kind of having to prioritize hoops over acting, but he has some serious acting credits to his name as a kid.
Es gab einen Teil von Touched by an Angel mit Scott Baio.
So he's got those roles. He's a senior in high school and it's pre-basketball season, which is sort of important for eligibility and this is pre-NIL. So you obviously can't be paid once you're in your senior season of the sport, you're going to go play in college.
Es war dieses wilde Familienverhältnis, wo B.J. Alex wird. B.J. 's Cousin ist der Teammate, der ihn schultert. Wie geht's, Alex? All the players in the huddle basically that had speaking roles are BJ's teammates from high school basketball. It's like the guy that's like, it's a championship game, like teammate.
Friends and teammates and some family.
Und ironisch gesagt, hat sein Vater diese unique Rolle in dem ganzen Film, wo die originale Skripte wahrscheinlich noch schlechter war als das.
Und sein Vater musste zu den Produzenten gehen und sagen, das ist, wie ich versuchen würde, diesen Schmuck zu lösen, den ihr mitgebracht habt.
