    You have to like the guy even more how he is handling this story. Including wearing his Traders Joe badge to the interview.

    See @LonghornFan - there's nothing wrong with working at Freebirds. And just because Johnny Football & VY work together at a Jiffy Lube, it doesn't mean they are failures.

    Never seen you write "job" in a sentence without also including "oil & gas".

    Why does anyone even care, mind their own business? I don't think people realize that the average actor/actress cannot be famous forever. Roles don't even come like that unless you are household name or get something with prestige/ an extended TV series/movie.

    Here is my thing with this .. . . . .He was a Prof at Yale . . . . .. from what is being said
    Was the dollars there not good?

    Not that anything is wrong with Trader Joes. . .it is just reminding me of an Article
    I saw where an Adjunct Professors were turning to sex work to make ends meet
    or being homeless.

    Academia pays very little. Some at the top do well, but the majority are poor relative to other professions that have similar time spent on education.

    There needs to be more humility in this world.

    He is a solid character actor
    I seen him in a few shows. . . I think even a Recent Elementary
    but
    I am guessing that guest spots are not 10s of thousands of dollars
    or
    He living larger than that

    VY is an analyst on the Longhorn Network

    He's no loser like Johnny Football

    What’s a Cosby show?

    And what’s a Trader Joe’s?

    White millennial living in the burbs is asking.
