Emily Blunt had to step in and save Dwayne Johnson’s upcoming movie after a massive miscommunication
"I had just watched Uncut Gems in 2019 and I went to Benny and I said, 'Hey, I got this idea called The Smashing Machine... I think you'd be great at directing this and writing it.'"
"Unbeknownst to me, Benny... finds the sweater online, XXXL, sends it to me with a written letter and said, 'I'm going to be so honored to work with you... here's your inspiration as an actor.' Well, I never got the sweater and I never got the letter."
"He thought I ghosted him and he's like, 'God, DJ's such an asshole.' And then I never heard from him again, I was like, 'Wow, what happened?'"
"Low and behold, he's working with Emily Blunt on Oppenheimer. She asked me, 'Are you guys working together?' She connected us via text."
"She connected us I was like, 'Brother, I never got the sweater.' He's like, 'I don't know what happened to it, but let's do this together, Smashing Machine.'"
Orangie explains that new coins with strong narratives trigger intense PVP trading environments
"When a good coin comes out and a good narrative comes out there's going to be a ton of PVPs because every time a coin is made it's just like these developers trying to make the money. You have to understand everyone here who's creating these coins just wants to make money. When a really good narrative comes out, they're all looking to make money off it by being the dev"
"You just have to follow the volume, follow the waves, look at what makes the most sense for that coin. Is it the fees going back to the dev, is it 65% of those holdings going to a certain person? That's why for a beginner it's just normal and easier to just look at a funny meme like $Jimothy. $Jimothy was a crazy situation recently. It's this little raccoon that was going super viral, it somehow hit almost 30 million dollar market cap"
"I personally didn't think it was that good, no FUD, but I'm just saying I didn't think it was going to go this high, but obviously it did and I think there was a lot of good traders who gave really good thesis on this coin very early on"
A passenger spent a 5.5-hour flight telling Rainn Wilson why Season 1 of The Office is bad
"Sitting next to a gentleman who for the entire flight watched episodes of The Office back to back to back to back"
"I had my COVID mask on so I was incognito"
"I nudged him towards the end, ‘So you seem to like that show a lot', ‘Yeah, I heard it kind of sucks'"
"He's like, 'Well, you know, it kind of starts slow in Season 1, but you'll warm into it'"
"I was slowly lowering my mask, It took him like 47 seconds of talking to me and then all of a sudden it was one of those face-melting, brain-explosion moments"
"And then he said, 'Can I post this?' and it went super viral. The rest is history"
Orangie claims that major meme coins like $TripleT will rise when the broader crypto market rebounds
"I just bought $60,000 of Tung Tung Tung Sahur ($TripleT) the Italian brain rot meme coin, and I'm down $5,000 on it right now"
"I'm super late to this coin. I've decided to invest a really big amount into it because I think the meme is good. I think $TripleT is at the forefront of what meme coins and AI and crypto can be. I think it is the biggest AI meme"
"Once the crypto market start to pick up, all sorts of majors and major meme coins as well start going up, we're just playing a little bit of a waiting game and trying to build positions and things that I think are good"
Jason Segel says he faked a mayor’s event, tricked city officials, and hired a secret orchestra just to get a proposal
"I'm not very good at lying, so as time went on, I couldn't hold this lie very well at all. I kept adding things"
"I told her, 'Hey, in three weeks there's a donor dinner at the botanical gardens.' But I'm not a donor."
"I said, 'I heard the mayor's going to be at the donor dinner.' Then I said, 'I heard the LA Times is coming.' By the time this night arrives, it sounds like a total drag"
"They also did acting. They said, 'Welcome to the donor dinner. Oh, you're a little late for the donor dinner.'"
"We arrive, there's a carpet and all these rose petals. I said, 'This is the love statue, close your eyes, make a wish.' And while her eyes were closed, I got down on my knee and proposed."
"I looked up, and there was only one tear, I'm like, 'This is not enough crying.' I had hired a string quartet, and they started playing 'Tale As Old As Time' from Beauty and the Beast. She turned to me and said, 'Is this Beauty and the Beast?' and she lost it. Mission accomplished."

"He and I met during The Basketball Diaries, we became fast friends, and he actually recommended me
"I met on Titanic, I never got an offer on Titanic, all I wanted to do, I don't think he took me serious because I was like, 'Is that your Hummer outside?' He was like, 'Yeah.' I was like, 'Can I drive that?'"

Andrew Garfield reveals SpiderMan: No Way Home had no script for the 3 Peters
"Getting to work with Martin Sheen, Sally Field, Emma, Rhys Ifans, Jamie Foxx, and Dane DeHaan, it’s a really great group of people."
"Coming back and doing that third one with Tobey and Tom felt like a closing of the circle for me. It was really special for each of us to honor our own tenure, but also each other, and find a genuine brotherhood there."
"All of that sequence was improvised talking about and comparing notes. The idea was like, 'You just want the three Peter Parkers to talk about their experiences and compare notes. Let's just do long takes and see if there's any gold in there.”
"Hearing it from Tobey, who was my Spider-Man growing up, it was all just so meta, so personal and perfect. I was very happy to just be a part of the legacy."
"It's like a torch being passed. It's not personal, you're part of something much greater than you. If I hadn't had that perspective, I might have gone a bit mad."
John Leguizamo says kids are more likely to see a talking animal in a book than a Latin child
"Less than 5% of children's books are about Latin kids, you're more likely to see the face of an animal than a Latin child."
"We're 30% of the US population in public schools, so what does that do to a child's self-worth and self-validation?"
"Five years to write 26 pages, you have to compress entertainment, fun, storytelling, and all that like in one sentence."
"To all the kids who felt unseen, unheard, and ostracized, and had to make themselves small. This book is for you, hoping it lets you feel large and concrete."

"I'm like, 'Man, I am really in the moment. I'm so in the pocket, I'm really feeling this tonight.' And then I look down, and I realize it's a real joint"
"I look backstage, and there's that little nice guy. Kieran Culkin, behind the drapery going [giggling]"
"They literally wanted to close the play down!"
