Terry Benedict

Yeah, I would agree.

Uh, you gave me flashbacks to, uh, Terry Benedict from, uh, Ocean's 11 there, TG.

Talk about the executives, uh, getting, you know, that, that black, uh, folder and just seeing the days tick.

Uh, they're gonna be happy, uh, seeing those results this morning.

Yes.

Okay, you know what? I think in order to then keep this in theme with Tim Curry, this is not Terry Benedict's casino a la Ocean's 11.

This is Kevin McCallister's casino.

[laughs]

The nose plays.

The, those are Terry Benedict's casinos, Dominic.

Uh, yeah, so yeah, what are we looking forward to moving into the second period? I, uh, I'm, remember what I, what I quickly just talked about, uh, last game, was that the Edmonton Oilers were a test on offense.

Flames were a test of physicality.

So really glad that we got a chance to hear from a guy who, you know, when Georgia took him, a lot of people thought he was gonna be a developmental piece.

They thought, oh, Georgia's gonna get Justice Terry and Elijah Griffin in that 2025 recruiting class, and we'll sort of see what Hanna develops into.

And he was playing snaps for Georgia last year.

He's doing it again this year.

Uh, at that point, it definitely will be put to the test.

Um, but I'm pretty happy with what we're seeing from Georgia on the field right now.

I would question maybe how happy you were when on yesterday's show you compared Georgia to Terry Benedict.

I don't necessarily know if that is a comparison-

... compared to 50 minutes on the, on the original.

Uh, so Ocean wants to hit Terry Benedict's places, and this will need a variety of guys doing a variety of cons, uh, which is kind of the framework of the film.

There's some good back and forth between, uh, Brad Pitt and George Clooney in this.

So Brad Pitt is playing Rusty, uh, who is kind of Danny Ocean's partner in crime.

He's, he's, he's just a, a wealthy Jewish man.

His Judaism is part of his character, but it's not played for laughs or anything.

Uh, but Reuben's curiosity gets the better of him on the h- idea of the heist when he learns that they're hitting Terry Benedict's casinos, 'cause Benedict's muscled out Reuben.

Uh, he says, bought his casino with plans to demolish it, uh, which we do see later in the film.

I felt pretty good.

"Terry Benedict is also mad at me."

Dude, going to the cash exchange as you're checking out and giving them chips, I had t- $2,500 in chips.

Mm-hmm.

He immediately starts planning a robbery with Rusty Ryan, Brad Pitt.

The target is three Las Vegas casinos: The Bellagio, Mirage, and MGM Grand, all owned by Terry Benedict, who also happens to be dating Danny's ex-wife.

Danny and Rusty put together a crew of 11 guys with different specialties, and come up with an insanely complicated plan to steal around $160 million from The Bellagio vault on fight night.

They build a replica of the vault, fake identities, hack the security system, create a blackout, and eventually convince Benedict that his vault is being robbed in real time.

But the big twist is that almost everything Benedict sees is fake.

The footage is pre-recorded, the SWAT team that shows up is actually Ocean's crew, and the real money gets walked right out of the casino disguised as SWAT equipment.

Danny also uses the robbery to show Tess who Benedict really is, forcing him to choose between her and the money, and Benedict chooses the money.

The crew gets away with the cash.
