Wembanyama says his teammates bet $1,000 he would never dunk his own missed three "I was in Nanterre, my first pro team... I had two teammates who were just discussing, and I saw them laughing and looking at me" "they tell me yeah, we just bet $1,000... if one day in your career you ever shoot a three, miss it and put-back dunk it" "I actually did it this year... I called one of these teammates and I tell him yeah, it happened... you just won $1000!"

Wembanyama says he wants to be invisible in New York because he can’t even get coffee there without people bothering him JJ: "are you concerned about being in a city like New York and being like I'm Wembanyama, I'm 7'5, and I'm gonna go down the street to get a coffee" Wembanyama: "sometimes I would like to be invisible... I'm in New York, I've seen this city in movies my whole life" "I can't just go out and get a coffee or just go on Times Square"

Wembanyama says NBA players can chase a championship for 15 years and still never win one "I always wanna win... but I don't know everything, so I can't say I wanna win the championship right now" "the true thing I wanna do ASAP is learn every day how to do it and how to actually win" "players have tried to win the NBA for 15 years and haven't made it... so I wanna learn as quick as possible"

Ben Affleck says people enjoy cancel culture because it lets them point at someone else and feel safe "we have dark fucked up instincts too sometimes... to isolate people or get joy out of someone else, they're in trouble" "maybe part of it's saying hey, it's not me... if you can point the finger, everyone's looking over there, we feel safer" "to take any forgiveness out of it is a really fucked up thing... I don't think anybody wants to think that the sum total of who you are is your worst moment"

Matt Damon says Miami drug smugglers used to crash planes into the ocean on purpose "Bimini's like the closest, it's 50 miles off the coast of Florida, they would come in with a plane full of drugs and just crash the plane into the water" "they would land it on purpose because there's no runway on Bimini, they would have 10 cigarette boats... like a flotilla of boats waiting" "they'd offload the drugs as the plane was sinking" "the planes are still all submerged... the water's so clear you can see how many fucking planes are out there"

Ben Affleck says The Town’s coldest cop scene came from a real bank robber in prison "for The Town, I went through all the prisons... Massachusetts federal prisons, state prisons, and sat down and talked to guys who robbed trucks and banks" "after talking for two hours, I was like, is anything just fucking weird ever happened? and one guy said, we robbed this truck, we had the mask, we got the switch car" "we pull up, we get out, fucking guns, the masks, whole thing... we look over and this cop's sitting there doing construction duty... he looked at us, we looked at him, he looked the other way... he didn't want to end up on the wall at the VFW" "I was like, I'm putting that in the movie... that's straight from research"

Matt Damon says Taxi Driver would’ve been clicked off on Netflix before it became a classic "The bar for walking out of a movie theater is a lot higher than from just changing the channel" "my friend Terry Kenny told me about the experience of seeing Taxi Driver in New York for the first time, he got up out of his seat... but he couldn't bring himself to leave because he was so invested" "he was standing at the back by the door watching the movie... and there were two other people standing next to him who were doing the same thing" "because the movie was disturbing them so much... which is not a bad thing" "had that been on Netflix or Amazon... somebody's like, oh I'm disturbed, and they turn and change the channel"

Ben Affleck says his entire movie crew gets a bonus if the film succeeds "it's not like we're saints or philanthropists... it's completely self serving" "in order to do the job well, everybody who's working on it has to be really invested and give a shit about the result" "if this thing actually blows up and does really well, you should benefit from that" "everyone got their rates, everyone got their hourly, no one cut anything" "this is just an exercise in actually proving that it's not bullshit, that if there's success, you'll get some extra little success"

Matt Damon says Netflix puts the biggest explosion in the first 5 minutes before viewers scroll away "you usually have like three set pieces, one in the first act, one in the second and one in the third" "the big one with all the explosions... you spend most of your money on that one in the third act, that's your finale" "now they're like, can we get a big one in the first five minutes... because people are on their phones while they're watching"
