Matt Damon's Huge Missed Payday
"Back in the day, Matt Damon was supposed to be in the first avatar movie. But he couldn't make it work because he was going to shoot the final Jason Bourne film. Now listen to the kind of money that's out there in Hollywood. And you wonder how these people, you go, why is this person still like, how did he still have a big, beautiful house? They haven't worked in 23 years, but there's this mansion they've been, well, here's an example of that. Matt Damon's gotta turn down the gig because I gotta do my Jason Bourne film. But the payout that Matt Damon was set to make on this film. You ready for this? Okay, avatar went on to make more than $2 billion. And at one of our Matt Damon, a payday in the hundreds of millions because he had 10% on the back end. Okay? Unbelievable. And since the sequel avatar the way of water is out now, Cameron is now busy doing all the press about what it was like to make the movie and he's thanking himself for representing women. So amazingly, so during the rounds of the press junkets, he was asked about Matt Damon's joke that he'll go down in history as the actor who turned down the most money in the world and it's true, but James Cameron's like, Matt, get over it. You're doing fine. But Nat was originally supposed to star that 2009 movie. And as part of his deal, he would have made 10% of the movie's profits, which would have been around 250 million back then. And like Matt said, it's true. He will go down in history, you will never meet an actor who turned down more money than Matt Damon when he had to beg off avatar and finish Jason Bourne.

AJ Reminisces About Wanting to Be Pete Hamill
"Pete Hamill has a book called drinker's life, but drink a drink is a drink of drinking sweat? Something like that, a drinking life. That's what it is. Amazing book as well about his alcoholism and how he beat it and how many bad roads it took him down. What people don't know maybe you guys are in the free show don't know is I wanted to be Pete Hamill in the worst way. I wanted to be him. Because when I was coming up the pike, I heard nothing but these Damon Runyon type stories about Pete Hamill as a newspaper band. The fact that he was a womanizer, a drinker, a fist fighter, man, that was everything I was. And when he got to the news, it turns out he quit drinking. He's married. And he's not having fist fights anymore. And I'm like, oh, shit. This is not the guy I thought I was going to meet. But that's what happens when you get older. I understand that now.

AJ on Harvey Weinstein and 'Good Will Hunting'
"I registered today that reminded me of the very wicked wicked ways of Harvey Weinstein. But this time he was screwing a guy. Now not the way you think. You got to go back to the days and 1997 when the smash hit, good will hunting was out in theaters, they spent 10 million to make that movie with Ben Affleck and Matt Damon and it ended up earning 225 million at the box office, one couple of Oscars, Matt and Ben got the screen playwriting award and Robin and Williams got best supporting actor, but there was some bullshit that occurred. You know, years ago I told you the story where Harvey paid Matt and Ben has started amount of money. No one expected this movie to blow up like this. All different types of screenwriters to punch up the script. In fact, word is the original script didn't even have a love interest that was played by Minnie Driver. There was some other things in the script that just in the initial script that Matt and Ben wrote that were not there. And Harvey had to do considerable amount of work finding script doctors to punch it up and he did. So when the movie time started to make a ton of money, Matt and Ben were very grateful, but there's a famous story that he told me where they said, you know, we really feel like we didn't get paid enough. I mean, in hindsight, they're right, but shit, the guy gave them their starts and they won an Oscar, but they still cried about, you know, we only got a certain amount and now the movie is over a 150 mil. And Harvey, it was in a hotel. He met them in a hotel, and I'm sorry, they called him. They had a meeting. They told him to man. And so I think about it. But he was pissed off. And then they kept hounding him. And he said, where the fuck are you guys? And they tell them what I'll tell they were at. I should stay put. And about two hours later, Harvey had a $1 million in a hefty bed, a garbage bag. And he threw it at them on the bed. And he said, I don't ask you another fucking thing. I'll kill you. I'm kidding, but I'm not. Now, then in that work, considerably happy back then to get a quick extra mill on top of whatever they got paid. I guess that shut them up, but that's one side of Weinstein. But on the same, the very same film. Kevin Smith, the director, was telling a story. That Weinstein actually pulled the movie from the fears early because he wanted to fuck around with Robin Williams Korea. Now, generally you hear him, you hear these stories about Harvey being this play with women. I've never heard much about him doing this sort of thing to a man.

Larry Elder and Sebastian Discusses the Rare Footage in 'Uncle Tom 2'
"Really kind of punched me in the gut with this movie is just the first four minutes just the footage that your guys found black families in the 30 40s and 50s, just the opulence, the prosperity, the elegance, the self confidence oozing out of two dimensional pictures and black and white, home movies, and look, I'm a white dude who's an immigrant to America. I was pissed of what's happened to that community in America. How did you guys just find that footage? Well, it was the director, Justin Malone, who's just an brilliant director. And our composer's name is Damon Chris well. He scored both movies. And again, it gave you kind of the atmosphere of the whole thing. But you're quite right. Even after black's emerged from slavery, when we were talking about lynchings and KKK and Jim Crow, black people still kept moving forward. Why? Strong nuclear intact family. It was rare for a black kid to be born into a world without his father married to the mother. A strong belief in patriotism, believe it or not, you read the speeches by people like Frederick Douglas Booker T. Washington, the riddled with praise for American values. Judeo Christian values and a belief in entrepreneurship. And Uncle Tom two talks about what's happened. How did the righteous civil rights movement get hijacked by these leftists, Democrats, socialists, collectivists, and marxists who want to dethrone God, marks, of course, was an atheist and on the website a Black Lives Matter. We talk a lot about Black Lives Matter and Uncle Tom too. They attack the nuclear family and Karl Marx hated capitalism, let alone entrepreneurship, so the very things that made black people and able to endure in the face of horrific obstacles. God, family, American values, and entrepreneurship are all under attack right now by people like Barack Obama who said America has racism in its DNA.

Larry Elder Joins Trish to Discuss Racial Inequality
"Larry, good to have you here. Chris say hello to the black face of white supremacy. As I was called by the LA time when I ran for governor by a columnist who the bank email was initials are Erica D Smith, oops. Yeah. Look, I know that what you're doing comes from a very good place. And I know that in part just because I know you, but also you've really over the years, pointed out the policy flaws that I think have left so many black Americans disenfranchised. This new movie, and by the way, I say this is actually a sequel to the uncle the original Uncle Tom that you wrote. But this is the second one. And you get into some of these things. People ought to know, there was a lot of success was there not within the African American community long before the war on poverty in the 1960s in my estimation really destroyed so much of it. Absolutely. And by the way, it's a collaborative effort. Both these films, the director is Justin Malone. He's absolutely brilliant. It was scored by an amazing composer, a named Damon Chris well and co written by the star chattel Jackson, a guy named rival writer Ansel and myself. So it's a collaborative effort. But you're absolutely right about the success of black America. The first one talks about post slavery. When you're talking about an environment with the Klan, lynchings, Jim Crow, still black people kept moving forward. Why? Basically four reasons. Reliance on family. Even during slavery, a black child was more likely to be born under a roof as biological mother and biological father than today. Reliance on American values. You look at speeches by people like Frederick Douglass and they're replete with references to patriotism and to American values, even though obviously America was not living up to those values when it came to black Americans.

"Is probably the most recent one I think. Her name was Shannon is episode one 76. And Shannon tells this incredible story of trying to find her biological family and the person that she found first was her maternal grandmother. So this is her birth mothers mother. And she met her. She spoke with her on the phone and on their very first phone conversation her grandmother said to her, you know, on the day you were placed for adoption, I gave you the biggest hub possibly could that I hoped would last you until this day when you would come back to this family. And it was just such a heartwarming thing to hear that someone had thought enough about the child they were placing for adoption to make sure that they felt love on the last day sort of in the family. And that there was hope that this child would return. It was really incredible, incredible. And so she, the interesting part of her story I found was she went on to try to reunite with their biological mother but her mother had a family and was incredibly challenged to make a deep connection with her. So her adoption was this weird open secret. The woman's following daughters. So if she's the oldest, the number two and number three daughters had heard by accident that their mother had had a baby before them and told them, and the daughters called the mother and said, hey, what is this story of this daughter and mother said, we're not going to talk about that ever. Uh oh. So they knew, but they didn't, it was an open, it was a weird secret. Yeah, the woman's husband also knew that the woman had had a daughter. So the woman was not comfortable talking about it. And so they couldn't have an open, happy, you know, sort of joyous TV reunion. And so the woman met Shannon met with her birth mother. In secret one day, when the guy went out and hung out on his boat for the weekend, the mother agreed to meet her. And they met up and had a quick sort of rendezvous or whatever. And what ended up happening was the woman told Shannon who her biological father was. And Shannon ended up connecting with this guy. She went to his house one year on her way to vacation. She drove by his house, met him, her own adoptive parents, met this guy, and they maintained a relationship, sort of a cordial loose relationship, not super tight for about 30 years. Come to find out, as we started this conversation, through ancestry DNA, she ended up finding out that her birth father was not the guy she had been in contact with for 30 years. It was a completely different person. Wow. So the stories they just go on and on and on like that. It's unreal to hear the methods that people utilize to search the emotions they express about their desire to search. The way the search goes in in other thing that we haven't really hit on, Doc is the idea that you now have to also share your search with your adoptive family. Your people, boom, you've grown up with whom you've hopefully loved to hopefully they've loved you. And there is this sense of disloyalty when an adoptee goes out to look for another family. Does that still happen a lot? That's still common? All the time. Yeah. All the time. Yeah. I mean, it would be hard for you to imagine, but just imagine if you're one of your children told you, you know, I think I'm going to try to find my birth father. Well, I think it's you would say, but didn't we do a good enough job? It's sort of invalidating in some weird way. Yeah. Right. And this is why it's so hard for non adoptees. To understand why adopted people want to search. Because there's enough love to go around for everybody. One of my guests told me something that I'll never forget. He said, you know, someone in his adopted family asked him, why did you want to search for your biological family? And he turned it back on them, and he said, well, you know, why did mom and dad have another kid? There was enough love for everybody, right? They had one kid. So why'd they have two? Why'd they have three? Because there's enough love to go around for everybody. Every person is different and they can all fit in my heart with love. So there's no reason for me not to search. I can still love you, my adoptive parents, as the parents who raised me. That is your place in my life. And nobody can ever take that away from you. But also, nobody can ever take away the fact that I am biologically connected to and related to other people. And if those people are out there, I have a curiosity to know who they are. I have to tell you that frame helps a non adoptee kind of digest this a little bit. The frame of this is something that can never be taken away, but also can't be fulfilled. You can never take away your having raised me, but you also can't ever be the biological parent and that can't ever be fulfilled unless I find it. And that's important to me. And I see why it would be. This is a fascinating topic. And how did you just because of your own experience? That's how you came to doing the podcast? Yeah, that's exactly right. I told you there's a bell curve. And I'm on the far end of awesome with my story. Like just acceptance across the board, my adoptive father was accepting and everything. And so I would tell other people about this amazing reunion experience I had in periodically I'd run into another adoptee. And that person would say, wow, that's really awesome for you. I'm really happy, but that'll never happen to me. And they would say things like, you know, birth records are closed in my state..

You can follow the podcast at the podcast Instagram at WA for who am I really at really? And his personal Instagram is at Damon, DIA N L Davis D 8 VIS Damon welcome. Thank you so much, Dr. Drew good to be here with you. I was especially intrigued to speak to you today because I feel like we've entered a zone now and this is sort of somewhat off topic for adoption, but it bleeds into the adoption stories. But we've entered a world now where so many people are having genetic testing done. That people are discovering that they were adopted and didn't even know it, essentially, that their parents, their biological parents, are not their biological parents. And there is a whole range of emotions that people are experiencing around that from oh well, at least I got great parents to, oh, who am I? I'm shattered by this. I can't trust anybody ever again. And lots of depressions on the heels of that. And I'm guessing those kinds of stories you must be hearing in the adoption world as well. Not so much because they're discovering it through genetic testing, but there's all kinds of similar motions that go on with people. Hadn't been told they're adopted and find out, or B, get to the adoptive parents and lo and behold, it's not so inspiring. So talk to me about all of it. Yeah, I'm glad you raised that because it is an interesting thing. This commercialization of DNA testing has opened up a whole world for people. And some of it is just simple, like someone like yourself who just wanted to know more about your own family, genetics, history and things like that. But there are a whole bunch of people who discover accidentally that they were adopted, and it opens, as you've said, a whole set of mental challenges. What those people are referred to as late discovery adoptees are LDAs. And it can be super traumatic because what it calls into question is every single thing you've ever lived with your parents, all of the stories you were told, all of the history that you quote unquote adopted as your own has been uprooted in its upside down now. And one of the natural things that ends up happening is you say to yourself quite literally, who am I really then? Where are the roots of my actual biological family tree? And it can feel like a betrayal for some adoptees who feel as though they were lied to. When they learn that the community around them, all of their extended relatives, all knew that they were adopted. They were the only person who was left out of this open secret. It can be incredibly challenging for folks to find out that way. But there are other ways too. I mean, quite literally there's stories of folks who their parents died and they were going through the attic and they pick up a box and they find a birth certificate that has their birthdate on it, but it's got some other kid's name and then suddenly they realize, wait, that seems like that's me. And there's a lot of questions that come up. So in terms of late discovery adoptees, you know, some people find out by accident when the neighbor spills it, whatever. I mean, there's just an array of things that happen in the adoption in the adoption community. I have a ton of questions. Let me ask this and this is from your experience. Do most people who are in the late adoptee, what is again late adoptee? Late discovery discovery. In that group, do most of them report that they had a hunch that something was missing or that some sort of faint sense of something. You know, yeah? Yeah. Yeah, some do some don't. So I'm going to give you my own example. I'm not a late discovery adopte, but I just want to show this for a little illustrative purposes. I am a black man. I'm a medium brown complexion. My mom was light skinned. My dad was dark skinned and we looked like we could have been in family. So had I discovered I was a late discovery, had I discovered that I was adopted. I might have been shocked because we do in fact look like we could, but have been family. On the flip side, if I had been, say, 6 foot four and they were 5 foot 8. And they were both dark skinned and I was light skinned. It would be anomalous that to see us as a family and be like, how did he get so tall? So naturally. So naturally, it'd be like, what? I wonder, what's that? You feel weird. But it goes deeper than that too. I've talked to adoptees who've said, you know, I was a mathematician and a family full of jocks. I was incredibly gregarious and gregarious and outgoing in a family full of very introverted, quiet people. And so what you end up with is some people do say, yeah, I always kind of wondered why I was so different in those ways. I just took it as we were just different. But you'll find other people who to go back to my own possible example may have never ever suspected it. And I know of a couple of stories of people who are adopted that don't actually know they're adopted. And it's going to be an incredibly rude awakening when they do find this out. So it varies quite widely. Let's talk about the rude awakening. Betrayal makes perfect sense to me. I mean, who wouldn't feel betrayed in some fashion? I guess you could have no feelings, but it'd be weird. So some sense of odd, it would be an odd feeling of betrayal, too, because all these years, everyone's been in on it, and no one told me. You'd be angry, angry and betrayed. But I don't get, well, I do get it intellectually, but I don't get it emotionally. The upending of identity. Why does your identity have to be completely up ended just because the people that raised you were not biologically related to you? In other words, your identity formed because of all those years with those people and the biology is sort of, oh, that's why you're a little different, but thank God you've had the great parents you did. Or is it that's one question, I guess the other corollary is, or is it in situations where people haven't been so super happy with their upbringing that then they go, ah, my identity, that's when they get more focused on the identity issues. I'm glad you asked this Dr. Drew because this is one of the challenges that non adopted people have with understanding adoption. They wonder what, why did you want to search? You know what? You had parents. And I often said I didn't want to search. I had parents. But when it really hit me when it really struck me deeply that I had two parents, but I actually am biologically from two completely different people. That was a game changer for me. And it's a hard thing to deny. And I want you to just imagine for a second, Dr. Drew, if you were speaking to your parents, they sat you down one day. And they said, listen, drew, we've been meaning to tell you this for quite a while. We love you very much. But I want you to know that your mom was not your biological mom. Your mom, you were adopted. And just pause for a moment and think, like, what would that mean for who you're other mom is?.

"Not Damon called in from a movie set, but he didn't want to talk about his latest film. In fact, he didn't want to talk about his day job in general, which meant no questions about growing as mullet and the last duel, or if the newer born film stood up to the originals. Nothing about his personal style either or about his taste in cars, or what he eats for breakfast every morning. Matt Damon was here to talk about something serious. A problem that, for more than 15 years, he has been trying to leverage the influence, fascination, and occasional crushes that his celebrity generates towards solving, the fact that millions of people around the world still lack access to something as basic as clean drinking water. Damon's partner in his quest to tackle that issue is Gary white, an engineer by training who has spent decades working to bring clean water to those who need it most. White and daemon, each started their own nonprofit organizations focused on water access in the developing world, and after meeting at a Clinton foundation event in 2008, the pair decided to team up, combining their groups into water dot org, an NGO that helps distribute small loans to help people install faucets or toilets in their homes. As of this year, the group's efforts have reached about 43 million people around the world. White and daemon have co written a book about their work, the worth of water, which went on sale on March 29th. The pair spoke with time about their experience founding water dot org, their work over the years, and the difficulties and occasional frustrations.

Yeah, you know, look, she was very poised and confident and educated and like I said, all the things that I envisioned, maybe one day I will, I'd never be. But I had a lot of respect for it and so she walked in and she glad it in there. I was rooting for her. You're not supposed to see the people that go before you, right? And when she walked out her shoulders were hunched down, and I just thought to myself, oh, lord, no. If you are going to do that to me, I'm going to earn it. Right. So you went out there with a chip on your shoulder. Not literally. But Barbara corcoran. She wasn't in the room. I'm sad 'cause I felt like her and I, no, no, no. I thought she was the one that said you seem like you have a little chip on your shoulder. Who was that? John, who said Damon? Yeah. He said that. Yeah, they cut out what I really said in response because it wasn't TV appropriate, but it might have been something along the lines of if I've been disrespectful in any way, please let me know because I'd like to get right. But if you just think I'm a strong drink a whisky, you're I am. And not everybody can belly up to the bar and other words like, look, you don't come from nothing. And a small farming community, I lost my daddy when I was 11. My mother struggled, will you're absolutely right. This is a personal business to me. I'm gonna have a cookie. I'm gonna have a chip on my shoulder because the family farm is something that I'm passionate about. I'm with you. And I didn't know all the terms I had to learn them before I went on. I had to have a crash course of what these words meant because I knew the concepts I just didn't know the words, right?

You have to take an active role in solving the problem. And i think that that is a good thing to say. Because i think we get caught up in apologies a lot. There are certain things that hopefully these ideas puncture the mainstream. Because i did think that's a good thing to get out there like. Yeah like you have to be active in it and maybe people are seeing that for the first time. If they're like just damon heads. And i i don't know i it's tricky. I do think that he presents in a different way. And then sometimes he's falls into these traps and we're even more mortified whereas cuomo he's Grosso sexual harasser molester and you go. Yeah yeah you're right. I actually think it's because we and and not just because of the roles he's had but because i think correctly i think we see matt. Damon is not as just some flighty actor. He's a smart. he's a smart guy. Yeah he's a smart person so we actually expect better from him. Yeah and then he. and then he Says what he says. A man was arrested in a case of mistaken identity. He was quietly released to being locked up in a mental hospital in hawaii for almost three years. The guardian reported and the worst part is the in order to caprio. Found out an option. The story two years ago. I think sucks. Look that it's the afro and he has a great production team he gets in there. You know he's he's ready to go. I mean he's been in there and taking notes and he's like hey man if you know this is bullshit. Get me out of here. And he's like i. You know. I wanna see where the third act. Yeah you know.

"You said I think it was on falun to where you know you know. I'm getting roles now. Nothing my kids do think is cool. They don't think it's cool anymore. Which i think is of great in a way because we do work in a weird business. And i often think about like how am i going to explain to a kid. Like this is weird. It's it's real but it's not real wouldn't take any too seriously like just sort of like making sure that they stay grounded. You know like that always seems like a bit of a challenge in this business too. Yeah i mean. I mean i guess more than anything. I want them to see how much i love my job like. I think that was a great thing. I got from my mom. She was a professor and even though she never had real money She she wasn't working for money. She was working. She loved her job. And that that's a great thing to see as a kid and You know my father by contrast never loved his job and but made enough but did it to support us and kind of and that was the lesson we got from him. Which was if you have a family. You're going to have to do whatever you have to do to support them And it might mean working at a job that you don't love and And so that was so. I kind of getting the same. My brought my have one big brother and we were getting the same message from both parents but in different ways and And you know. I think i i ended up as you know going into the film business and he ended up as an artist and we both ended up doing exactly what we wanted to do. And finding a way to make a living at it. But i think it was. Those were two examples that we that we had so which were great. And i always think about that with my own. Kids i was goofy is my job can be some time. I i like that. They can see how much i love it. Yeah and i also. I also one of the great things is that because this business encourages us to focus on ourselves a lot right what. I'm excited about the prospect of is you can't focus on yourself you need to and i feel like that's very grounding and very healthy and very good and that actually i'm looking forward to that yeah i mean it certainly it certainly takes the the light and shines it away from you someplace else. There was some a friend of mine and his mother in college. Explained as as when you you spend your whole life protecting your heart and then you have children and you take your heart and you put it in this other little vessel and they go off into the world and you can't end that's where your heart is. You can't protect it's like it's but but but you have to let them go off into the world and it spreads a pretty apt description. I think well. I know i got a note that i you have to jump to another thing really quickly but i just want to say about stillwater that my wife and i loved it. My wife is friends with abby breslin and they just a few months ago in and the whatever that one outlets the performances are fucking phenomenal. like i'm from tennessee.

I ask you some parenting advice because my wife and i are in the process of china to start a family. And you've had kids for a while your kids and the thing the reason i thought to ask us because you just said like oh my parents. They were supportive but they they were hesitant about pursued and it's probably just because they love you and they don't want you to have a bad time like no parent when we had to go through a tough time no. I wouldn't sorry to interrupt. But i i wouldn't i wouldn't push my kids in the movie business but if they wanted to or if they wanted to do something that you know i think like if i have a kid who's like i wanna i wanna be a free climber and i'd be like you know like i feel my chest in but i also know like it's not i have to push that aside to be able to know when to say like but i gotta support you because i love you. I want to protect you. But i gotta support you at the same time. So you know as Because you have a range of ages with your kids so how. How have you learned to do that. throughout the process of four children have i learned to to to to allow them to grow in ways. That might be scary because you want to protect them but knowing like but you gotta let him go out and make their own mistakes. You gotta let them go out there and pursue the things that they want to do and not fall into that trap where you're like. Oh maybe you shouldn't do this because it might be scary. you know. yeah well. Luckily none of my kids want wanna be like wing suit flyers or anything like that. You know. they're not they're they're not. They're not risk averse but they're not particularly they're not involved in anything. That's a you know that that that that that would scare the shit outta me or impossible to them you know and you know and the and the nixon scratches in the bumps and bruises or part of life in part of building resilience in i. I really worry about this last eighteen months. You know just because all these kids have been separated from each other and that that really like all of their brains are developing like this is. It's going to have some impact impact remains to be seen. How much but. I can't wait to get them all together again with classmates and you know what i mean because because You know they need to have those experience. And their brains are individuation I've got three adolescent to adolescents in a teenager and then a twenty three year old and it was obviously out of the nest now but But there's so much happening and you know for them at this age and You know a part of that is just start building their own lives and have their own their own experiences and And that is.

You know it's like you don't have to be just an actor you can write you can create you can produce and also be in those things as well and so you know remembering that and sort of i was creatively inspired by that was like. Oh yeah that's the thing you can do. You don't just have to go to auditions and wait for someone to go okay. You you seem cool enough getting this thing. You know like that which is so part of what our culture is now. It seems like we take it for granted like oh yeah. You are should be a writer creator and performer.

Because i'm sure you have friends who are also like huge box office grossing stars and still never feel complete or whole or peaceful. Whatever and there is this. I think it's called the hispanic hamster wheel where it's like you keep setting a baseline off. I just get this. If i get this and then you get it. And it's like buck still don't feel you're constantly searching for this external validation and we both work in a business. That is so heavily focused on external validation.

I'm here to do what i do. I'm happy with that and peaceful with that. Did you always feel that way. Did you have to arrive at that. No i think i arrived at it.

I was sitting there at home. It was like four in the morning. And i was still kind of buzzing. My girlfriend at the time had gone to sleep and i was still kind of buzzing. Couldn't sleep you know.

Yeah and it was very exhilarating. I i remember. The first time i got introduced to hip hop was actually in joan coins back. John coins carbs so hungry. Pick me up at the hotel.
