• 0:05
  Speaker 2: a week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: of the old Republic, a soul fashion of fairness. He
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: rich pill poppers in the penthouse.

  Speaker 1: What are we at the second day of August?
• 0:40
  Speaker 4: Now the second day of August, and I've made an
• 0:43
  Speaker 4: editorial decision that I do not want to talk about
• 0:47
  Speaker 4: Micah Parsons.
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: Danny.
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: I was debating. I was like, I could come in here.
• 0:52
  Speaker 4: Parsons yesterday asked for a trade, and I was like,
• 0:56
  Speaker 4: this is still going to be a story when I
• 0:58
  Speaker 4: get back into the the main studio on Sunday night
• 1:02
  Speaker 4: for the overnight show. So I don't need to talk
• 1:05
  Speaker 4: about Michah Parson's demanding a trade. This is all like,
• 1:08
  Speaker 4: this is the standard playbook, Danny, because the day before
• 1:13
  Speaker 4: McLaurin asked for a trade. This is what you do
• 1:15
  Speaker 4: during training camp. If you don't get a contract, you
• 1:17
  Speaker 4: ask for a trade. So I'm not gonna ran it
• 1:19
  Speaker 4: about that, Okay, I don't. That's gonna be a story
• 1:21
  Speaker 4: for another month. Right, at least I would.
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: Think, thank God, because I could not hide. Every channel
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: I turned on it said breaking news, and the breaking
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: news banner on the screen was there all day long.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I mean this is they got their pants down.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: At ESPN.
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: You get to talk about Micah Parsons all day and
• 1:40
  Speaker 4: the Cowboys my god. But so we're not going to
• 1:42
  Speaker 4: do that here, and that you don't tune in to
• 1:45
  Speaker 4: the Fifth Hour podcast for that kind of stuff. Now,
• 1:48
  Speaker 4: occasionally we do go sporty. We call that Danny working
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: Blue when we do sporty. So on this one, though,
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: we've got the Southwest is calling, so you think you're
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: better than us? The Cinema group text, and if we
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: have time, we'll get to the slipping slide. But I
• 2:04
  Speaker 4: wanted to start with this, so you want to get away? Yeah,
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: I would like to get away. So I'm gonna begin
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: the Saturday pod here with what I like to call
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: corrections and retractions, the old slip of the tongue. So
• 2:19
  Speaker 4: I was trying to do the right thing. I was
• 2:21
  Speaker 4: trying to stick the landing. I had this in my
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: head planned out from earlier in the week. I thought
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: I'd come in here to the podcast studio. I would
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: have just a clean, small podcast farewell, a dignified goodbye
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: to the television dreamscape that lasted a couple of NFL seasons.
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: Benny Versus the Penny, which was born in the shadows
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: of weekend overnight sports radio, raised in obscurity of week
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: day overnight sports radio, and then somehow ended up airing
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: on national cable television via NBC, the National Broadcast Company,
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: and then.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: Thud because I had a.
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: Moment when I woke up Danny, where I realized I
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: had made a major boo boo and there was nothing
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: I could do. And it was one of you ever
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: had that happen when you wake up You're like, I
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: think I f something up.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: And oh my god.
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'll wake up in a cold sweat some weekend
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: days where I'm taking a nap because I'm like, oh shit,
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: did the podcast fire?
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, so you understand.
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: So, So midway through yesterday's pod, the Goodbye episode as
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: we were lowering the casket of Cable TV Bennie versus
• 3:45
  Speaker 4: the penny into for now and who knows what the
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: future holes.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: It could come back.
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: From the dead and rise from the dead like the
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: phoenix from the ashes, but for now it's dead. So
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: we were lowering the casket of Cable TV Benni versus
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: the Penny into its final resting place. And I committed
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: a felony, a blown on air crime against humanity. Danny,
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: no good deed goes unpunished, So I didn't realize this
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: till I woke up. So I ended up somehow Danny
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: butchering the name of my friend, my guy, the very
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: NBA NBA, the very NBC executive who made it all happen,
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: who cracked the door open, who gave a fat gas
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: bag with a dream of shot.
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: Wow. Uh yeah, First President Trump watches tua's name I saw,
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: and then you do this.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: So his name is is Bill Bridgten, not Brighton uh
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: or whatever I called the bright but whatever sleepy name
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: rolled off my tongue before my brain clocked out. So
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: a big apology to Bill Bridge and a good man,
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: a powerful player in televisi, a mensh someone that's been
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: a big champion of mine.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: And what do I do to repay him? Danny?
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: Uh I had him a slap on the way out
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: the door.
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: Oh man, I think you should say his name five
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: times in a row.
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: Right on this episode, Bill Bridge and Bill Begeton, Big
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: Bill Begeton, Bill beidgerin best I putched it Bill Bridgeton.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: But again, that was a show.
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: Uh, I love what we just make things worse.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: I know, I know, I was like in my head,
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: this was gonna be perfect.
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: I was gonna I was gonna dot the I you
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: know on the show that I did. We did this
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: to you know, obviously wecre these things very early, right
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: and most humans are still spooning with pillows, and you know.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: For me, it's the end of my day.
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: Normally I'm still a zombie, just because a different kind
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: of zombie and uh no lifeline and just foot meet
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: mouth and uh so, I I have given myself a
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: two minute major Danny for butchering a benefactor. And if
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: there is a Hall of Fame for self inflicted PR debacles,
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: I think they're gonna get me one of those blazers
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: and I can put that on.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: But let me again, be very clear.
• 6:15
  Speaker 4: I woke up and realized what I had done, and
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: my god, Bill.
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: Now, now post mortem, would you like to pay me
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: overtime to go into yesterday's episode and fix it?
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: Now? That would be, that would be. That would be
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: pretty cool. That would be. That would be pretty cool.
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: I can do it. I know.
• 6:33
  Speaker 4: I Just to be clear, I mean Bill Bridgton, who
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: does listen to this podcast.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: You know he did not have to say, He did
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: not have to allow me to do the show.
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: He greenlit it for two years and you know he
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: could have swiped left and all that stuff.
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: So again, okay, I need I need a take of
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: you thanking him the way you did yesterday, and then
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: I'll slide it in there and fix it, and anyone
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: that listens to that podcast as of today it will
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: sound like it never happened.
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: But then they'll hear this podcast and they'll be like, well,
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: wait a minute, I won't go back and listen to that.
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: But but anyway, again, thank you, Bill. You believed in
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: Benny versus the penny, You backed us. You let a
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: niche gambling show with a corny name make its way
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: on you know, cable network, and that is.
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: Really it, And I almost feel like this is better
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: because instead of just his name being thanked in passing yesterday,
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: he got five minutes on the podcast today.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah yeah.
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: So you know, of course, like the klutz, I am
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: in that farewell moment, you know, the chance to tip
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: the cap and to raise the glass and pour one
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: out and you know, offer this heartfelt thank you to
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: a tag O volli ya. He said it like he
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: was very confident that he was getting it right. I
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: mean he didn't pause a little bit bit.
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: Ants was standing off to the side and he was
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: trying not to crack up.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: Tag oh volley.
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: Ah.
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: That was great.
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: So but unlike the president, I am, I am going
• 8:12
  Speaker 4: full Southwest Airlines here.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: I want to get away clearly that I'm living the commercial.
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: If I had when I woke up, if there had
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: been a trap door under the bed, I would have
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: pulled the lever on myself and fallen into whatever it
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: was there. So again, sincerely, just to put the ball
• 8:30
  Speaker 4: on this part of the podcast, a sincere thank you
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: to Bill Bridgden. Uh full accountability on my part, Danny,
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: I am again I'm gonna go to the penalty box,
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: big l for Loser Scarlett letter l on my I mean, I,
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: oh my god, I was like all all afternoon. When
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: I woke up yesterday, I was like, Holy you know,
• 8:50
  Speaker 4: I can't believe I did that. This is a guy
• 8:53
  Speaker 4: that made up radio guy's TV dream come true? And
• 8:56
  Speaker 4: how do I repay him? I mentioned his name, Danny,
• 9:01
  Speaker 4: I know the man's name.
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: And I butchered it.
• 9:04
  Speaker 4: So anyway, listen, enough of that, but I just wanted
• 9:07
  Speaker 4: to mention that off the top and my again tip
• 9:11
  Speaker 4: of the microphone to Bill and slip of the tongue here.
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: But I do not think that I am better than him, Danny.
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: I don't think I'm better than him. I just you know,
• 9:23
  Speaker 4: you know what I'm saying.
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: Well, clearly he's doing TV and you're not.
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: Yes, TV people are better people. So I've become a
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: worse person now that I'm just doing radio and podcasting
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: for sure.
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you're slumming again. You're back to the slums. I
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: just texted you. This is a state that thinks they're
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: better than California. Right now. You and I have had
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: a lot of fun over the past year making fun
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: of the wildlife crossing in Agora Hills, slash Calabasas, California.
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: Don't look now, but this thing is going to cover
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: six lanes of the I twenty five, is going to
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: create thirty nine thousand acres of land. The overpass will
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: be two hundred and four feet wide and will cost
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: fifteen million dollars. It is going to be the world's
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: biggest wildlife crossing bridge, and it's under construction just south
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: of Denver.
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: Who's paying for it? Do we know? Do we know
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: that's fair?
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: That's a great question. I guess we're going to have
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: to ask AI.
• 10:23
  Speaker 4: Here fifteen million dollars to build a bridge for animals
• 10:30
  Speaker 4: in common.
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we thought it was outrageous that they spent a
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: few million here in California. They're spending fifteen million dollars
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: in Colorado.
• 10:40
  Speaker 4: Well, wasn't the thing allegedly in California out near you
• 10:43
  Speaker 4: in the in the valley? Wasn't that privately financed? They
• 10:47
  Speaker 4: claimed half of it half it was privately financed. This
• 10:52
  Speaker 4: has got to be the new hustle, the new Hey,
• 10:55
  Speaker 4: we can take advantage of dumb people who are politicians.
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: If you're in the environmental.
• 11:00
  Speaker 4: Game, if that's your world, like this has got to
• 11:03
  Speaker 4: be like, hey, we can get these bridges built, you know,
• 11:06
  Speaker 4: we can get lots of money out of these idiot politicians,
• 11:09
  Speaker 4: taxpayer money. So so what a mountain lion can cross
• 11:14
  Speaker 4: the highway or whatever?
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: And then, my god, the most ironic part of the
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: one out here by me is literally when you're going
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: underneath that new overpass, there's a big dip in the
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: freeway where the where it needs to be fixed. So
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: they can't fix the actual damn freeway, but they're spending
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: like millions of dollars to put this thing above so
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: that some squirrels can run across the top of the freeway.
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 11:40
  Speaker 4: Yeah, here's my question, Danny, So the interstate highway system
• 11:45
  Speaker 4: as we know it in America, doesn't that go back to.
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: At least the nineteen fifties.
• 11:51
  Speaker 4: I believe it goes back to some like the nineteen fifties,
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: So yeah, I think it was Dwight Eisenhower. So if
• 11:56
  Speaker 4: you go back to the nineteen fifties, that is seventy
• 12:00
  Speaker 4: plus years where animals were able to cross the highway, right,
• 12:04
  Speaker 4: but now here in twenty twenty five they can't.
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: Is that where we are? Are the animals getting stupid?
• 12:10
  Speaker 4: Do we have a problem, Danny, where we need to
• 12:13
  Speaker 4: educate our animals more. Do you think that's the issue, Danny,
• 12:16
  Speaker 4: that rather than spend millions to build an overpass on
• 12:21
  Speaker 4: these highways, just.
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: Educate the animals so they know where to go. How
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: about that?
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: Well, some of our country is getting soft. First it's
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: not okay to eat them, and now it's not okay
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: to hit them with your car.
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, why don't we just let them move into our homes.
• 12:37
  Speaker 4: We'll just let them, you know, we can go out
• 12:40
  Speaker 4: and live in the woods.
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: And then the animals.
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: I have some rats in my garage, so I'm halfway there.
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 12:45
  Speaker 4: I see some raccoons on my way home, wandering around,
• 12:48
  Speaker 4: scrummaging for food. I have noticed the animals, As I've
• 12:53
  Speaker 4: said this before, but I reminded of it that the
• 12:57
  Speaker 4: animals know when trash day is because you always see
• 13:00
  Speaker 4: kind of scavenging around that morning when people take their
• 13:02
  Speaker 4: trash cans out.
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: Uh. He just kind of you know the vibe, man,
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: you know when that's going.
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: And In other animal related news.
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: Animal Thunderdome, when's it starting? Is it starting?
• 13:12
  Speaker 4: Let me guess he's going to start October first. Animal Thunderdome,
• 13:17
  Speaker 4: Clay Travis, Danny g Radio, iHeartRadio podcasting, the whole.
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: Thing insert buzzer here still have not been told to date,
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: but play Travis announced that it's going to be starting
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: on his OutKick Daily podcast show that he streams, so
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: he actually announced it on his show. He didn't give
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: a start date, but he announced that it's coming soon,
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: and I later that same day got a text from
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: our boss, Scott Shapiro saying that he was crossing the
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: t's and dotting the eyes to get things finalized, which
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: I thought things were being finalized for the past three years.
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: But as far as what Clay is saying on his
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: OutKick podcast, this thing is a go.
• 14:04
  Speaker 4: How many teas and how many eyes are we talking
• 14:06
  Speaker 4: about Danny? There's a lot of tea that's like, my god,
• 14:10
  Speaker 4: well that's good. Now will it be on iHeart? Is
• 14:12
  Speaker 4: he gonna be on Clay's OutKick? Are you gonna become
• 14:14
  Speaker 4: an OutKick guy?
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: I think that's what they're ironing out right now is
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: exactly how it's going to be carried.
• 14:21
  Speaker 4: I got you, so I have an idea and I
• 14:24
  Speaker 4: think me and you can do this, and you know
• 14:26
  Speaker 4: I don't if Clay wants to do it, he can
• 14:28
  Speaker 4: do it. You have animal Thunderdome. How about sex toy
• 14:33
  Speaker 4: Thunderdome where we can just debate what sex toys are
• 14:37
  Speaker 4: thrown on the court at w NBA games.
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: How about that, Danny? What do you think sexist? You
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: think there's a market for that? You think? What are we?
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: Two?
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: Now?
• 14:47
  Speaker 4: There was another one yesterday, another flying phallus plastic. Yeah.
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: The crazy part about that is the way it bounces
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: on the court.
• 14:58
  Speaker 4: So today is this? Now I'm not on TikTok. I
• 15:02
  Speaker 4: don't know if you are. Is it a TikTok challenge now?
• 15:04
  Speaker 4: To see who can throw a dildo on the court?
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: Is that? I don't know? But that is give me
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: a spinoff.
• 15:11
  Speaker 4: So anyway, before I forget, I watched and I'm going
• 15:15
  Speaker 4: to do a Malor film review brief Malor film review.

  Speaker 4: Adam Sandler back with the hockey stick putter. It flashes
• 15:36
  Speaker 4: back to my younger days and all that stuff. The
• 15:39

• 15:42
  Speaker 4: like it was like a reunion special at a celebrity
• 15:46
  Speaker 4: golf tournament.
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: It wasn't really a movie. It was more like.
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: Got carried away when they were doing the whole Maxi
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: golf thing where the surgery had to take place on
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: those Axi golf players to where their torque changed with
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: their sling. Yeah, and I know, I know it's supposed
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: to be a ridiculous movie, but I watched the original
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: before I watched the sequel, so I watched them back
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: to back so that I could have the original Happy
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: Gilmore movie fresh in my mind. And I'm just gonna
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: say this, Yeah, you did have to suspend belief a
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: little bit, but it wasn't as outlandish and crazy and
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: ridiculous as the second one.
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I did the same thing, me and the wife.
• 16:32
  Speaker 4: We watched the first one and then we were like,
• 16:33
  Speaker 4: all we watched the first one, and the next day
• 16:35
  Speaker 4: we watched the second one, and again it was like
• 16:38
  Speaker 4: a doppelganger.
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: But you know, it's com It was just the other thing.
• 16:44
  Speaker 4: The storyline aside, because you know, who am I to
• 16:46
  Speaker 4: did critique a story in a movie, the Endless Parade
• 16:49
  Speaker 4: of cameos and family like it. Yeah, felt like and
• 16:54
  Speaker 4: I went, I looked as I knew Sandler's my wife's like, well,
• 16:57
  Speaker 4: that's Adam Sandler's daughter.
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: I was like, okay. And then but his.
• 16:59
  Speaker 4: Wife, Adamson's wife, two daughters, his real life mother, his cousin,
• 17:07
  Speaker 4: his brother.
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: In law, his mother in law, all had had gigs.
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: But oh yeah, emin m Dan Patrick with a bad.
• 17:14
  Speaker 4: Mustache, Travis Kelcey as an angry waiter for some reason,
• 17:18
  Speaker 4: Reggie Bush was. I didn't even know that until I
• 17:20
  Speaker 4: looked back. I don't remember being him being in it. Yeah,
• 17:23
  Speaker 4: Stephen a our old morning guys. You said Dan Patrick
• 17:26
  Speaker 4: was in it a couple of times. Chris Berman, Jim
• 17:29
  Speaker 4: Gray was in there, Guy Fieri remember everywhere you know.
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: Then he had the usual like John Lovett's friends there.
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: And there were seventy four cameos.
• 17:41
  Speaker 4: Seventy Oh my god, all those golfers, they just lined
• 17:45
  Speaker 4: them up. Brooks Koepka and Roy McElroy and Fred Couples
• 17:48
  Speaker 4: and John Daly.
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: Was a big part of the movie.
• 17:51
  Speaker 4: And he had former Clipper legend boban Marjanovich.
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: He was in there a lot, right, he was.
• 17:56
  Speaker 4: The play played Drago, right, yes, yeah, the Sun, the
• 18:02
  Speaker 4: Sun the character played by the previous guy. So, I mean,
• 18:07
  Speaker 4: you know what it was.
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: And that's one thing I don't like about these sequels
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: that take forever to come out, is that the storyline
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: is always the son of the original characters.
• 18:17
  Speaker 4: Well, these other guys are dead, I mean, one of
• 18:18
  Speaker 4: the they can't bring them back, Richard Keele died. But
• 18:23
  Speaker 4: the movie it must have been one of those things
• 18:25
  Speaker 4: where it was like a the cinematic equivalent of a
• 18:28
  Speaker 4: group text thread. And somehow somebody at Netflix signed off
• 18:33
  Speaker 4: on a sixty million dollar budget, right and uh and
• 18:36
  Speaker 4: and say it was like, let me just put all
• 18:38
  Speaker 4: my buddies and all my you know, people in here,
• 18:40
  Speaker 4: and that's it.
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: And he did.
• 18:42
  Speaker 4: I mean, it just felt it felt like I feel
• 18:46
  Speaker 4: after I eat a chicken palm bloated, you know, just
• 18:48
  Speaker 4: a it was.
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: It was bloated.
• 18:50
  Speaker 4: And uh, you mentioned the first Happy Gilmore, which I
• 18:53
  Speaker 4: also watched, and it was absurd and all that stuff,
• 18:57
  Speaker 4: and just this one, as you said, Danny, it just
• 19:01
  Speaker 4: is I guess.
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: Maybe we're older. Could that be we're older? You know
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: they always say the sequels not the equal.
• 19:06
  Speaker 4: They always say that the sequel's not the equal, But
• 19:08
  Speaker 4: every five minutes it was a random celebrity popping in.
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: While explaining to you, like this the first one didn't
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: feel forced.
• 19:17
  Speaker 4: Yes, yes, that's a good way to describe it. That's
• 19:20
  Speaker 4: a good way to describe it. You know, it was
• 19:21
  Speaker 4: cool with Vern Lundquist is retired. Is good to see Vern.
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: He was in the original, and it was.
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: All It was one of the highlights of the movie.
• 19:29
  Speaker 4: I thought, yeah, yeah, Vern's great, eighty five years old, still.
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: Doing his thing, And it just seemed.
• 19:34
  Speaker 4: Like the whole point of the movie was to try
• 19:36
  Speaker 4: to get viral videos on TikTok.
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah, because I thought bad Bunny as the caddy, he
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: did really good.
• 19:43
  Speaker 4: He was in there a lot. Bad Bundy was in
• 19:44
  Speaker 4: there a lot, just again manufactured. I you know, who
• 19:49
  Speaker 4: am I to critique anything? But I just could have
• 19:53
  Speaker 4: could have done without about seventeen to twenty of the
• 19:57
  Speaker 4: cameo appearances.
• 19:59
  Speaker 3: So yeah, let's read the seventy four cameos right now,
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: and then the podcast will be over.
• 20:04
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's it, we'll be done. We can just go
• 20:06
  Speaker 4: get out of here and go enjoy our day. I
• 20:09
  Speaker 4: don't think we have to worry about a Happy Go
• 20:11
  Speaker 4: More three. Although Danny this did very well accord to Netflix,
• 20:16
  Speaker 4: so people watched it and they loved it.
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: I think we'll see some other movies that were in
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: the same category and didn't have a sequel, and they'll
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: jump on this, and so we'll see some other ridiculous
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: sequels come out that feel forced because it's a copy
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: It's like they always say the NFL is a copycat league.
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: Movies are the same way. If somebody sees a formula
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: for success, then all these other movie companies jump in
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: and copy.
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: Well, it's really anything that was popular. I read about
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: this years ago, and when I used to read books.
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: I don't read books anymore, but I used to read books,
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: and I.
• 20:57
  Speaker 4: Read a book about infomercials. And there was another book
• 21:00
  Speaker 4: that I had read. I don't remember the name of it,
• 21:02
  Speaker 4: but it talked about how they've figured out a formula
• 21:07
  Speaker 4: where when the coming of age period, you know, how
• 21:11
  Speaker 4: in you're you know, teenager, early twenties kind of that
• 21:16
  Speaker 4: period of time, and they say that if you take
• 21:19
  Speaker 4: whatever was really popular at that point in society, pop culture,
• 21:24
  Speaker 4: and you wait twenty five or so, years, twenty five,
• 21:29
  Speaker 4: thirty years.
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: And you bring that back.
• 21:32
  Speaker 4: It is a guaranteed stone cold success because the people
• 21:36
  Speaker 4: that were young kids, teenagers, early twenties when that became popular,
• 21:41
  Speaker 4: they're now in their forties and fifties and.
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: They have a lot of money.
• 21:45
  Speaker 4: They've lived their life right, they've made their fortune hopefully,
• 21:49
  Speaker 4: and they can then they want to go back to
• 21:52
  Speaker 4: that time. So whatever, whether it's movies, TV shows. I
• 21:57
  Speaker 4: don't know how it's going to work now though, anyway,
• 22:00
  Speaker 4: because everything seems to be on these social media platforms.
• 22:03
  Speaker 4: Can you really, like in I'm trying to think twenty
• 22:06
  Speaker 4: years from now, twenty forty five or twenty fifty, are
• 22:09
  Speaker 4: you going to bring back a TikTok trend?
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: You know? Can you really can you make any money
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: on that? You know?
• 22:15
  Speaker 4: I don't know how that's gonna work, but it is
• 22:18
  Speaker 4: interesting to know, Danny, the way that works there that
• 22:21
  Speaker 4: you just have to wait, you know, twenty five years
• 22:25
  Speaker 4: or so, people in their twenties and then in their
• 22:27
  Speaker 4: mid forties, and then.
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: You've got just add water and you're good to go.
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: Now that means there's a chance Benny versus the penny
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: could come back in twenty years.
• 22:36
  Speaker 4: That's right, baby, don't forget Bill. Benny versus the Penny.
• 22:39
  Speaker 4: Twenty years from now we will dominate absolutely. So the
• 22:44
  Speaker 4: water thing, that's a good transition, good jumping off point, Danny,
• 22:47
  Speaker 4: because I've got a real story here, a tale of suspense.
• 22:52
  Speaker 4: Yet again clumsiness, much like me butchering the name of
• 22:56
  Speaker 4: the man that made Benny versus the Penny possible, and
• 22:58
  Speaker 4: some hydration gone wrong. So another example of me being
• 23:03
  Speaker 4: a klutz and not a one time thing.
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: This is a recurring event in my life.
• 23:08
  Speaker 4: It's like the Olympics, happened every few years, gout whatever.
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: So how do I say this?
• 23:17
  Speaker 4: So the other night or morning, I was holding my
• 23:22
  Speaker 4: cup of water and it was getting low, and I
• 23:28
  Speaker 4: was a man on a mission during the overnight show
• 23:31
  Speaker 4: mission impossible recon assignment, and so let me let me
• 23:37
  Speaker 4: paint the scene. So it's the middle of the night,
• 23:39
  Speaker 4: doing the show, giving out lukewarm sports takes, and we
• 23:45
  Speaker 4: go to the top of the hour break and so
• 23:49
  Speaker 4: I'm like, okay, I got I didn't leave the studio
• 23:52
  Speaker 4: right away, and I was like, I need some water
• 23:55
  Speaker 4: and I need to go to the to the bathroom.
• 23:57
  Speaker 4: So I looked at the clock. I know how much
• 24:00
  Speaker 4: time I had at this point. I had about two minutes.
• 24:03
  Speaker 4: But that's I can do that in two minutes. You
• 24:05
  Speaker 4: can go to the bathroom. You can wash your hands
• 24:07
  Speaker 4: real quick, get some water.
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: So I'm on a mission.
• 24:09
  Speaker 4: I have about two minutes to make it to the
• 24:12
  Speaker 4: powder room, grab some agua, make it back behind the
• 24:16
  Speaker 4: microphone to launch into some take about Jerry Jones dental
• 24:20
  Speaker 4: hygiene or some other drama or rama or something like that.
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: So don't ask Soway.
• 24:28
  Speaker 4: The The mission started fine. I grabbed my cup. I
• 24:33
  Speaker 4: made a quick pivot out of the studio. I made
• 24:36
  Speaker 4: a left turn down the hall. I then made a quick,
• 24:42
  Speaker 4: quick left turn to the Smurf kitchen and I put
• 24:48
  Speaker 4: the water cup under the thin, got some water, got
• 24:52
  Speaker 4: a little ice out of the fridge. I then put
• 24:54
  Speaker 4: the cup down on the blue Smurf table. I then
• 24:58
  Speaker 4: went to the powder room to take care of business.
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: I did that real quick. I put some water and
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: some soap in my hands. I washed my hands. I
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: then came out of the bathroom and then went back into.
• 25:09
  Speaker 4: The Smurf kitchen just across the hall, and I did
• 25:11
  Speaker 4: like a eurostep thing around a chair and grab my
• 25:15
  Speaker 4: water and boom goes to the dynamite.
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: Down goes the water, the water. So my cup of ice.
• 25:26
  Speaker 4: Water ended up doing a cartwheel like it was auditioning
• 25:30
  Speaker 4: for America's Got Talent, and ice was in the air everywhere.
• 25:34
  Speaker 4: Water was all over the floor, the carpet there. It
• 25:39
  Speaker 4: was this tragic water ballet, you know, water gone wrong.
• 25:46
  Speaker 4: And so then I'm like, oh crap, because I know
• 25:48
  Speaker 4: I'm only got at this point. I probably got about
• 25:51
  Speaker 4: twenty seconds before the music starts and I got to
• 25:55
  Speaker 4: start talking. I have no time to clean up the
• 25:57
  Speaker 4: great flood the kitchen. The carpet looks like the Titanic
• 26:02
  Speaker 4: lower deck at this point, and it's like a slipping
• 26:05
  Speaker 4: slide thing, and so you know, this is this is
• 26:09
  Speaker 4: the life Danny. There's no one else there, you know,
• 26:12
  Speaker 4: and I know no one I work with is gonna
• 26:14
  Speaker 4: bother to help me out and clean it up. So
• 26:17
  Speaker 4: you know, hey, boom, I security cameras.
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: There are cameras in there.
• 26:22
  Speaker 4: You're right, But I figured it was like water and
• 26:25
  Speaker 4: it was on the carpet, so I think I was okay.
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: It was dry, and I made my way back and
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: that was it.
• 26:34
  Speaker 3: I did.
• 26:34
  Speaker 4: I did the show, and then I went back and
• 26:36
  Speaker 4: there was a giant puddle the rest of the night,
• 26:39
  Speaker 4: but nobody said anything to me, So I think it
• 26:40
  Speaker 4: must have dried up at some point, right, it must
• 26:43
  Speaker 4: have dried up at some point.
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: So just a reminder, you can prep all day.
• 26:47
  Speaker 4: You can have everything ready to go, all your bullet
• 26:49
  Speaker 4: points for your monologues and your hot takes are teed up,
• 26:53
  Speaker 4: and all it takes is one little rogue incident in
• 26:56
  Speaker 4: the kitchen with an ice, a couple of ice, and
• 26:59
  Speaker 4: suddenly you're running around your egos bruised. And I had
• 27:05
  Speaker 4: no water for that whole monologue. But I did survive it.
• 27:08
  Speaker 4: I did survive.
• 27:09
  Speaker 3: So it all makes sense now because what you don't know.
• 27:13
  Speaker 3: Later that day they had to rent one of those
• 27:15
  Speaker 3: big industrial sized fans. Yeah it was blower.
• 27:20
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I know what you're talking about. All right,
• 27:22
  Speaker 4: all right, we'll get out of that, Danny. Enjoy your
• 27:24
  Speaker 4: Saturday here, the first Saturday of August. And we've got
• 27:27
  Speaker 4: the mail bag. The mail bag. We'll get to that tomorrow.
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: Tomorrow, tomorrow, Asta pasta, my folation
