Molly Bloom

It made me learn this.

I don't know if you've watched the movie Molly's Game.

Have you seen that movie at all?

No, no, I haven't seen it.

Sorry.

Okay, so this won't be relevant, but you should watch the movie.

So the first time I saw Molly Bloom speak and I heard her story, I was literally on the edge of my seat the entire time.

And like, I was just locked and loaded on her speaking.

I've had multiple people on my show.

One that that was just recently Molly Bloom was Molly's game.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah.

Oh, yeah.

He made Molly Bloom.

He said, I'll give you $1,000 if you get on the table and bark like a seal.

And that's in Molly's game, isn't it? That's

in Molly's game.

He's played by Michael Cera.

Yes, that was.

So, okay, because there's rumors of some of the celebrities that were part of Molly Bloom's secret poker games.

Women's Sports Now also recounted how Ashlyn Harris left pro soccer at 37 because capped salaries meant playing soccer cost her money once she had a family to provide for.

Torched with Molly Bloom explained how the University of Texas' first women's athletics director, hired in 1975, fought for equal funding and pushed all her teams into the national top 10.

And the Ringer WNBA show connected the WNBA's landmark 20% revenue share win to building real power while the government is targeting women's freedoms.

And those were just the top takes.

Thank you.

Thank you.

ad speak, burn it all down, torched with Molly Bloom, the Brian Lehrer show, the PBS NewsHour, a touch more, and just women's sports.

Further details are in the show notes.

No.

Molly's Game?

Yes.

[laughs]

Mm.

But it's-

Molly's Game? No, it's based on Molly Bloom's memoir, Molly's Game.

Oh.

What? I was just agreeing with him at the conference.

It must have been resurfacing because of this, but I had a video on my For You page of Molly Bloom talking about Tobey Maguire.

Do you know who that is? So it's the movie called Molly's Game.

Oh, yeah, great movie.

...

the relationship between, uh, Molly Bloom and, and the lawyer, you know? Like, I think, like, they show, you know, at first they're not, like, on the same page, but they show, like, how they earn it, and I just don't think that they did that.

And it's, it has to be because of the script, you know? I have to believe that these actors that they have on screen, which they have tons of great actors on screen, they're capable and they've shown they're capable of, you know, doing these things, you know? So, um, I, I just think it's frustrating because we know Aaron Sorkin's capable of doing better, and he-- it just fell flat, and it just wasn't earned, and it, you know, again, it's disappointing.

Yeah.
