Rob Long took some time from Monday's BBMS to pull the curtain back on his work for the Roku TV broadcast of the Orioles and Yankees game.

Ed and Rob took some time from Thursday's BBMS to go team by team in the NFL and share their favorite players for every single team. Is there any crossover between having your favorite player also be the best player?

The best TV shows are like the best restaurants, says Rob Long: familiar, comforting, and just stylish enough. Not everything needs to be a tasting menu or guilty junk — sometimes you just want a steak, buttered broccoli, baked potato and a laugh. So in this era where prestige and junk reign in both food and TV, Rob asks, where are all the Hillstones and Houston's? Transcript here.

Ed and Jeremy took some time from Monday's BBMS to talk Orioles with Rob Long. The O's future is now uncertain after Brandon Hyde's dismissal as manager. Where does the franchise go from here?

As President Trump involves himself in showbiz finances, Rob Long raises the problem of what happens when government gets involved in Hollywood spreadsheets: Everyone above the line gets a raise because A. money is fungible; and B. greed. And below the line? Taxpayers in whatever state is offering cash-back goodies end up paying for second season salary bumps for the cast and the producers.  Transcript here.

Time was when networks would land a major star, with the next step finding a writer with “auspices” — an industry term for somebody proven, with a hit show already on air. The only issue? Those successful writers often couldn't write. In spite of that, those series sometimes became massive hits. Which is why Rob Long wants to keep optimism alive. After all, as he says, “Hey, could work.” Transcript here.

There are two keys to making money in showbiz: make a hit, and make it easy to watch and find. In other words, make the experience more like shopping on Amazon. Easy is why kids are on YouTube, Rob Long is watching The Gilded Age in TikTok snippets and why Amazon makes being online a seamless experience — except on Prime Video. Transcript here.

Rob and Jeremy took some time from the final hour of Friday's BBMS to hand out their Shovels of Wisdom, including one for our own Rob Long, who put himself in some hot water north of the border.

Rob Long recently sold all the old junk from his house: airplane bottles of Dutch gin, a Yemeni incense burner, asparagus tongs and two boxes of computer cables, naturally. Refreshed and ready to begin a new chapter, Rob thinks studios need a similar garage sale with each other's libraries. Offer up titles, make some swap deals — and reset the whole system, from the IP up. Transcript here.

Languages other than English have special words for special situations (looking at you Germany and your fingerspitzenfühl). Now, Rob Long proposes a new local lexicon to help capture this particular moment now in the industry, a place where schadenfreude is giving way to another, strange new feeling: Hope for even someone else's show, any show, to get made. Even if it's about linemen in buckets. Transcript here.

Mid-life, Rob Long has gone back to school. Princeton Theological Seminary has been a nice timeout from Hollywood — no profanity, shouting or the pressure to wrap up every meeting with a joke. But Rob is not ditching Hollywood. Instead he ponders bridging the secular and ecclesiastical divide by showing up to his next meeting in a priest's collar to watch what happens. Transcript here.

Jeremy and special guest Bruce Cunningham took some time from Wednesday's BBMS to talk Orioles with Rob Long. The Birds have about 15 days until the regular season kicks off. Where are their strengths at this point? Where do they need some work?

Jeremy and special guest Bruce Cunningham took some time from Tuesday's BBMS to check-in with Rob Long, live from Orioles Spring Training in Sarasota. Gunnar Henderson and Grayson Rodriguez are both on the mend, but what are the players saying about two of their best going down with injuries?

Jeremy and special guest Steve Melewski were joined by The Fan's Rob Long during Monday's BBMS, live from Sarasota. Rob will take the next few days to watch the O's down in Sarasota, but what will he be watching for specifically?

Brand extensions? Prequel? Janet Bond?? Rob Long bets meetings at Amazon are underway with those bullet points in a PowerPoint now that the franchise has been wrested away from its legendarily impossible owners, the Broccolis. Corporate-controlled and obligated by fiduciary responsibility, 007 has secured the plot of his next adventure: shaking every last dime out of his Savile Row suit. Transcript here.

New streamers all want to be the place that gets it. They'll say, “Come here and be creative! Give us your quirky, oddball stuff!” But before you know it, Rob Long finds they're giving notes on the act break and telling writers to raise the stakes. But anybody that's been in this business awhile, or had any degree of success, can relate — it's easy to forget that you don't know all the answers. Transcript here.

Ed and Jeremy were joined by co-host Rob Long on Monday's BBMS for a break down of the Ravens loss to the Bills. Did the Ravens choke again? Or did the Bills rise to the occasion? Rob shares his thoughts.

When tourists come to Manhattan, some check out “historical landmarks,” like the Sex and the City cupcake shop, where a bite of buttercream frosting can spark the fantasy of a romantic adventure in the Big Apple with best friends. Indeed, Rob Long believes showbiz is at its greatest when, in hard times, it lets the audience daydream. Especially today, amid so much ash and smoke, when the people who make movies and TV need their own escape. Transcript here.

“Gelson's is gone.” That's what Rob Long heard the TV newscaster say solemnly as he watched flames engulf the grocery store. Rob loved that now burned-down market off Sunset in the Palisades, now in the midst of catastrophic loss. All kinds of industry folk — executives, crews, a couple of famous faces — also did. Now with an industry-wide contraction, he understands you might be asking yourself: “Is it time to go?” But the industry's best trait has always been to ignore and adjust. And start again.

Hour 2 with Bob Pompeani and Joe Starkey: The Steelers have been outscored 66-0 in the first quarter in their last five playoff games. Could Mike Tomlin be traded? Rob doesn't expect Zay Flowers to play. Rob thinks it will be a close game and the 9.5-point spread is outlandish for many people in Baltimore. The Ravens are hoping for cold weather so they can run the ball most of the game and let Derrick Henry dominate.

Rob doesn't expect Zay Flowers to play on Saturday. Rob thinks it will be a close game and the 9.5-point spread is outlandish for many people in Baltimore. The Ravens are hoping for cold weather so they can run the ball most of the game and let Derrick Henry dominate.

As a 24-year-old aspiring screenwriter in L.A., Rob Long didn't have the money or job prospects to purchase a $400 leather jacket. So, naturally, he did. As luck had it, Rob got his first job as a TV writer a few weeks later. And now, decades later — and oft-bemoaning how things used to be better — he reflects on his good fortune, and why he shares it with a charity helping homeless youth right here on Hollywood Blvd. All while asking you to keep going long enough to appreciate your lucky selves to be in this business.  Head to My Friend's Place, Rob's charity of choice, to help support youth experiencing homelessness.

Rob Long in Baltimore thinks Lamar Jackson will have a Michael Jordan against Craig Ehlo-type game and break through against the Steelers. The debut of Mullsy the Snowman.

Lamar Jackson is 2-5 against the Steelers with 5 interceptions. He thinks Lamar will have a big game and there is voter fatigue with Lamar to win MVP and Josh Allen will win. Rob would rather win playoff games than the division being valued as a great prize to mount a successful season. If you don't have the No. 1 seed, he doesn't think the division is that big of a deal.

Hour 2 with Bob Pompeani and Joe Starkey: The Penguins are on a roll and other teams are not playing well, allowing the Penguins to move up in the standings. He thinks Lamar will have a big game and there is voter fatigue with Lamar to win MVP and Josh Allen will win. Rob would rather win playoff games than the division being valued as a great prize to mount a successful season.

From the moment the fatal shooting of UnitedHealthcare's CEO hit the news until the arrest of suspect Luigi Mangione in a McDonald's, every loudmouth had a theory about the killer and his motive. You see, whether it's a murder case, the Middle East or Hollywood's upheaval, the know-it-alls all pretend they have all the answers. But society needs them, argues Rob Long. After all, who else would greenlight anything?  Transcript here.

Baltimore did not offer Patrick Queen a contract. Queen has a chip on his shoulder Sunday. Rob Long of 105.7 The Fan in Baltimore believes Patrick Queen is a good Robbin, but not a Batman.

Joe AND Rob both think that Lamar Jackson is the Shohei Ohtani of football. Rob thinks the Ravens are the best offense, top to bottom, in the NFL. Tomlin is Rob's favorite coach in the NFL. As of now, Kyle Hamilton's status is up in the air. Rob likes Patrick Queen, but he disappears some games. Ravens 24 - Steelers 17 is Rob's prediction. 

Hour 2 with Joe Starkey: Former Steelers corner and current Raven Arthur Maulet described how the Steelers will try to defend Lamar and watch the dive play. Minkah isn't forcing turnovers, but Dan Orlovsky believes Minkah is fooling quarterbacks and forcing them into mistakes later in the game. Tomlin is Rob Long's favorite coach in the NFL. As of now, Kyle Hamilton's status is up in the air.

The next few weeks are going to be tough, a little bit like being force-fed goat cheese if you are Rob Long. So in this current toxic political environment, or really in any uncomfortable situation forced upon you, Rob has some simple advice. Use the word ‘huh' — the one magic word that saves you from further confrontation. Transcript here.

The Ankler recently launched The Ladder, a hub for early career entertainment professionals, which has Rob Long wondering one thing: What are these people thinking? Gone are the days where a 24-year-old like Rob could come to L.A. and months later be staffed on a show like Cheers, or make a lot of money specializing in just story beats or jokes. Today, you have to be a “multi-hyphenate,” or, to put it in Rob's old Hollywood lingo, a “sweat act” — able to do a little bit of everything. Transcript here.

Rob Long takes a break from Biblical Greek to catch up with a few of his favorite laypeople. He gives James and Steve his early impressions of the coursework and classmates at Princeton Theological Seminary. Then the trio moves onto our favorite events since we've last seen the future father: the post-Brat Summer letdown for Harris; the meltdown over Trump's shift at McDonald's; and the left's resurrection of their favorite f-word for Republicans.- Soundclip from this week's open: Matt Walsh and Robin DiAngelo's first meeting in the documentary Am I Racist?

We perform plastic surgery on a lot of things in Hollywood — even history. Say you've got an amazing true story about the highest-ranking woman in the mafia, as Rob Long once did, but you don't know how many people she killed. Why not make it lots of them? Now it's not quite true, it's “based on true events,” but good enough. As Rob can attest, there's not a story in the world — true or not — that couldn't use a little Botox.  Transcript here.

Like many writers, Rob Long enjoys opining on writing more than actual writing. There's no greater procrastination than, say, teaching a class on “maintaining focus.” Meanwhile, there are other writers at their computers, getting ideas out the door that are getting pitched first. Which may be when it's time for procrastinators to turn to the best TV writing hack of all time: Sell the house. Transcript here. For more entertainment news, subscribe to The Ankler.

Indiana Smith didn't sound quite right to Spielberg and Lucas, so they changed it to Indiana Jones — and the rest is history. You never know what's going to work and what's going to fail. Or why. That's part of what makes notes, a pillar of Rob Long's existence, so tricky. Because sometimes you should play ball with what a network wants. But other times you might need to pull a Sinatra: “My Way.” Transcript here. For more entertainment news, subscribe to The Ankler. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Rob Long of 105.7 The Fan in Baltimore joins Amy to talk about the Ravens win.

Rob Long of 105.7 The Fan in Baltimore reacts to the Ravens win on SNF.

It's not easy being blunt in Hollywood, with a lot of time spent dancing around the truth. Is a network or studio actually interested in the pitch? How much money are they willing to pay? That's why it's worth remembering the fan letter an actress friend of Rob Long's received, where the sender was less invested in her career than making sure she answered his more prurient podiatry queries. After all, someone has to ask for what you want, get to the point and keep everyone focused on the important things, which is how Rob finds himself praising, yes, his agent. Transcript here.

When a fading comedian says they want new material, that's not what they want. What they want is “new old material,” meaning fresh jokes that sound like the ones they've already told. Hollywood today finds itself in the same predicament: needing new shows that feel like the old ones. Because, as Rob Long points out, the comforting and the familiar are what audiences crave — like Italian food — and can fix an industry today broken right down the middle. Transcript here.

Rob Long has tried everything: Meditation, free writing, morning pages — all in an effort to be more present, to get out of reading trade headlines and reflexively wondering, But how does this benefit me? In an industry pathologically insular and insecure, it's hard to imagine the world outside. Now with Hollywood in desperate need of a shakeup, Rob's going first: He reveals the surprise masters degree he's now pursuing and you won't believe it. Just don't say he left showbiz.

Writing is a tough, lonely profession. One of its worse qualities: the payment structure, broken up into a zillion little pieces, withheld in full until the bitter end and altogether utterly unpredictable. The whole charade can make someone like Rob Long, understandably, crazy. That's why, when a production company asks for a tax ID number, or a residual check comes in at $12, not $11, it's hard not to get a little emotional. Transcript here.

When tourists trek to Hollywood for their summer vacations, they want a look at the glamour they see onscreen. Instead they get Hollywood Boulevard, and filthy Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck in a fist-fight. Yet when the tourists disappear and the season turns, so do Rob Long's emotions: Into fears about age, the business passing him by, why he never had another career. But then, as reliable as Labor Day on the calendar, he puts the costume back on again. Transcript here. For more entertainment news, subscribe to The Ankler. Learn more about your ad choices.
