Ben Affleck is attached to direct and Matt Damon to star in a true-crime story.  We’re wondering if this is the safe pic, the art pic or the payback pic because a friend told them they owed him a favor. (Points if you get the reference) The story was written by Jeff Maysh and published in The Daily Beast, about an ex-cop who rigged the McDonald’s Monopoly game, allegedly stealing over $24 million and sharing it with an unsavory group of co-conspirators who offered kickbacks to the mastermind.  The Dudes tell you the story about Jerome Jacobson, who was the mastermind behind screwing millions of potential winners out of the big prizes back in the day. Legendary actor Alan Alda has come out with a shocking admission, he has Parkinson’s Disease.  Alda appeared on CBS This Morning to talk about announcing his condition and what he’s doing about it.  You may remember him from various projects, like The West Wing … but to Nick and Rob, he’ll always be Hawkeye Pierce from M*A*S*H.
