:18:01
Each call's worth 25 bucks a shot.
:18:04
Now, we're doing about
three dozen hits a week. That's nothing.
:18:07
We should triple that.
:18:09
Now, before you get into your test copy
here, I got a few words for you.
:18:14
Your pitch sucks. No offence.
:18:17
But you got potential,
so we gotta find a way to bust you out.
:18:21
- Bust me out?
- Yeah.
:18:22
We're gonna start
by giving you a new name.
:18:26
John Anthony. Just came to me.
:18:30
John Anthony, the million-dollar man.
:18:33
What's wrong with Brandon Lang?
:18:35
Nothing's wrong with Brandon Lang.
It's just that he's still living with his mommy.
:18:40
John Anthony's living large.
:18:42
He don't hold back.
He's got a direct line to God.
:18:45
And for a measly 25 bucks a call,
he's gonna let the world's losers listen in.
:18:50
"Hello, sports fans.
:18:52

:19:05
I already hung up.
:19:06
John Anthony here, ready to make
all your betting dreams come true.
:19:10
That's right.
Call me right now and let me win for you.
:19:13
The point spread
in the Indiana-Michigan game is at...
:19:17
- I think it's all right.
- Wrong.
:19:22
Mm-hm.
:19:23
OK, what's your sales pitch?
:19:25
My sales pitch is I'm picking 80% winners.
:19:30
Stats is not enough.
:19:32
I'm telling you, you need a voice.
:19:34
These are gamblers ready to risk what
they can't afford for what they can't have.
:19:39
You're selling
the world's rarest commodity.
:19:42
You're selling certainty...
:19:44
in an uncertain world.
:19:53
(clears throat)
:19:56
John Anthony here,
the million-dollar man.
:19:59
Wall Street to Tokyo to Hollywood. All
your big money stays and plays with me.
