Title: Billion-Dollar Bond Girls, RIPs, and Dildos at the WNBA

Summary:
Brian Beckner and Ed Daly are back with a packed episode covering everything from Jeff Bezos’ rumored plan to cast fiancée Lauren Sanchez in the James Bond franchise to RIPs for cultural figures and athletes. They break down Hollywood ego purchases, bizarre casting choices, the tangled rights history of 007, and the economics of ego. Plus: a new horror movie review, celebrity net worth guessing, Deion Sanders’ questionable parenting, Mariano Rivera’s unfortunate Old-Timers Day injury, the crypto-bro dildo conspiracy in the WNBA, and listener voicemails. As always—unfiltered, hilarious, and occasionally informative.
