Jake said that on Oprah. Not in exactly those words. I think he was saying that had they known it would be such a cultural phenomenon, they might not have done it. Which is not to say they regretted doing it - they just may have seen it as a more daunting task from the beginning.
And I don't think Oprah's questions were good in any context. But then I think she asks idiotic questions about everything, so I'm not the most objective person in the world when it comes to her. I will say that the question that annoyed me the most (and that's saying a lot) was the one about their relationship with each other after they were both married being "conflicting" and the way she emphasized that word. ::)
To me, if all you see in this movie is a couple of guys having an illicit affair and hurting their wives and families in the process, you've totally missed the boat. And to me, that's all she saw.

True enough. Oprah is simply way too busy to be any more than extremely superficial on most subjects she covers. Planning daily shows is daunting and she is just very, very topline; no depth or true 'getting into the meat' of it; even though BBM should not have required a course to 'get it'! A good friend of mine is a good friend of hers, and that is how she apparently has to be for her particular business situation. too bad since for the BBM segment, it really could have been much better.

I wasnt being critical of your spelling or your post.....I really did think you meant to write "Kake", and I wondered who the hell that was..
Its been a while since I saw the tape of that Oprah show, so cant remember all the text, I just remember, that I didnt much like the way Oprah pressed embarrassing questions at them.
