Ep. 79 "The Happiest Day"

In Episode 79 of Here’s A Podcast Are You Happy Now? your hosts, Nick and Keegs, dive into their weekly poll of devoted listeners with “is winking making a comeback?”, some hot stories regarding gender reveals and surprise childbirth (!), and a big ol’ F U to Amazon Studios for putting out the flaming hot pile of shit that is ‘7500’ in an incendiary Nerd Keegs. Apology from the Producer: “This is Keegs from HAPAYHN, in shitting on ‘7500’ and the multiple ways it falls short of doing its due diligence in filmmaking and storytelling around a sensitive subject, I turned to a movie that I thought did a splendid job in those areas. This movie was ‘Stronger’ the story of Jeff Bauman, a survivor of the Boston Marathon Bombing, as played by Jake Gyllenhaal. I didn’t expect the segment to go in that direction and failed to do the necessary research beforehand. I spent the entire segment mispronouncing Jeff Bauman’s name, which in a regular podcast could maybe be forgiven, but in one that spends so much time calling attention to the difference between ‘intent’ and ‘impact’, especially in that segment, is unacceptable. I thought it was a useful conversation, I thought it brought some good points to light, and ultimately it recommended a story worth telling, and so I did not want to delete the whole segment for my mistake. Again, I apologize for the oversight- I will try to be better, and I hope that those who would, or did, take offense to it can still enjoy the discussions within.”-Keegs
