National League Dreams with Entourage Creator Doug Ellin
If you're like any of us, you've fantasized about one of your buddies making it big time in something and so you could reap the benefits of their success- cars, houses, parties, girls... Well it's safe to say, Doug Ellin played out that fantasy as good as he possibly could with his hit show Entourage. After discussing the concept with Mark Wahlberg, he brought the show to life as the executive producer, director, and head writer. In this episode, he shares all kinds of stories from production off the show, as well as what its been like working with Cons and the other cast members for all these years. Doug is still producing TV today and is a co-host of the @Victory! podcast with Kevin Dillon and Connolly. When he's not producing, you can find him on the pickle ball court, where Obs hopes to take him on sometime soon!
