Hey guys, Willie Geist with a special edition of the Sunday Sit Down podcast. My thanks as always for clicking and listening along. I say special because this is the latest in our series of Sunday Sit Down live conversations where we bring you into the room,

a live audience of our listeners and our viewers who can buy tickets and come sit with us inside City Winery, New York,

and City Winery, Nashville, in the case of Luke Combs a couple of months ago,

and be a part of the conversation for a Sunday sit down.

We love doing it. We love meeting you,

seeing you, hearing how far you've traveled to be with us on these nights. And just a few nights ago,

I got together with Ryan Reynolds, the one and only Ryan Reynolds. He of Deadpool fame, but let's

be honest at this point so much more. Yes, Deadpool and Wolverine a couple of years ago the single

highest grossing R-rated movie in the history of Hollywood made 1.3 billion dollars by the way the two

previous Deadpool movies also are in the top five of the highest grossing R-rated movies of all time

so he can do that we know he's good at making movies, but also he's

become this kind of fascinating business magnate who's got a football club, perhaps you've heard of it,

called Rexum. He'll tell the story of that, how it started from the bottom, and it's now

climbed to the doorstep of the Premier League, which is as good as you can do in soccer.

How he got involved with that, how they've created this docu series that's won a bunch of

Emmys around it, a new season of that coming up called Welcome to Rexum on FX.

Also, the guy has a mobile phone company.

He just bought a sailing team with Hugh Jackman, his good buddy, and he's got this company

maximum effort that does all kinds of marketing and branding and advertising.

So he's just one of these guys who's sort of voracious and just wants to try new challenges.

And I kind of talk to him about what the through line is on all of these things.

And what he tries, how he picks and chooses what he gets associated with.
