- Sanaa Lathan is a yes, with a big stock buy after this movie leading to good roles.
- Asked about Oscar potential, the 2000 Best Actress nominees are listed (Julia Roberts winning, Joan Allen, Laura Linney and others); the year is called loaded and Linney is said to have deserved it.
- A possible original screenplay nomination is raised, joked about as ignored by the Oscars committee; the five nominees are listed and Billy Elliot is said not to have aged well.
- Omar Epps is called a no; the other participant makes the yes case from his longevity, escape from typecasting, and TV resurgence, saying he could put up a fight.
- USC basketball is a no.
- Barcelona professional women's basketball is a yes, and the other participant agrees.
- The early WNBA seeming optimistic about the league's future is an emphatic yes; the film explained why the league was pushed: the players had nowhere to play.
- Dick Vitale is later floated as a possible Apex candidate that should have been brought in.
