Unaware, Jones inquired what was ‘Hardball’ and Tyson saying. To this, Brim replied by saying that it was a movie starring none other than Keanu Reeves. Hardball (2001) also featured Michael B. Jordan, who played the character of Jamal alongside Steelo Brim’s Sterling.

Jones looked at Brim as if the latter was joking. Initially, she found it hard to digest that the TV personality, who co-hosted and produced MTV’s Ridiculousness, worked with Reeves. Taken by surprise, Jones exclaimed by asking, “You was in there?!”

However, Brim kept his calm and replied by saying, “Yeah, I was in there. I wasn’t like no real character and then just ranked in the state for baseball, so they brought me in.”

Even then, Jones could not believe Brim. She laughed sarcastically. “That’s not true,” she protested by saying. The 21-year-old movie Hardball was directed by Brian Robbins. At that time, Reeves was simultaneously working for the famous ‘Matrix’ franchise.
