Watch: Men attempt record by popping balloons between their bodies
Rush, who has more than 181 Guinness World Records titles to his name, originally teamed up with friend Jonathan "Hollywood" Hannon and popped 10 balloons between their bodies in 15 seconds, enough to overtake the previous record of 17 seconds.
The duo soon found their time had been beaten by Colton Sheperd and Cameron Severson, who popped their balloons in only 11 seconds.
Rush and Hannon made another attempt at the title, managing to get their time down to 7.5 seconds.
Evidence from their attempt must now be reviewed by Guinness World Records before it becomes official.

TV review: 'King of the Hill' revival true to original in modern times

Photo courtesy of Disney LOS ANGELES, July 25 (UPI) -- Mike Judge previously brought Beavis and Butt-Head back to a world that made the pair's idiocy seem like genius. Now, the King of the Hill revival, on Hulu Aug. 4, uses the Hill family to show the world need not be as divided as it is. The new episodes see Hank (voice of MIke Judge) and Peggy Hill (Kathy Najimy) return to Arlen, Texas, after living in Saudi Arabia as Hank worked on a propane project. Now retired, they plan to spend quality time with their 21-year-old son, Bobby (Pamela Adlon). Bobby owns his own restaurant and the staff includes some endearing new characters. Meanwhile, Hank's neighbors Bill (Stephen Root), Dale (the late Johnny Hardwick and then Toby Huss) and Boomhauer (Judge) have evolved since the Fox series, but still hang out in the yard. The humor of King of the Hill was always rooted in Hank's conservative values coming up against the already evolving society of the '90s. It laughed with Hank and his friends at their confusion at new developments, not at them. That's an even trickier balance to strike in 2025, and creators Judge, Greg Daniels and new showrunner Saladin K. Patterson have ensured the series enjoys watching its characters struggle to learn. Hank is more bewildered than upset by rideshare or all gender bathrooms. The Hills don't complain about the world being "woke" but Hank is aware of the potential to be canceled. King of the Hill presents a loving take on folks who might be outdated, but never quite mocks them. The Hills never championed conservative values to belittle or hurt anyone else. It's just every time they learn that old ways might be harmful, it's an education. Hank accepts renaming Samoa cookies as long as the flavor remains. King of the Hill also depicts a friendly environment, as in strangers who share with their neighbors instead of ganging up on minorities. Task apps appear to be a boon to Hank's handyman skills, but he struggles with the expectation to make small talk with the customers. When he does, then he is aghast to realize this generation puts everything online. Hank can be the agent of change too, as seen in an episode in which he shares he actually learned to like soccer while in Saudi Arabia. Seeing Bobby at 21 raises new issues with young adult dating, when it comes to texting protocols and modern relationship norms. Some of his love interests recur in multiple episodes too. It also evolves Bobby's relationship with his father. There are still things Hank wants to teach his son but he can't order a 21-year-old around like a teenager. Bobby has affection for his father but recognizes his shortcomings. Peggy is even more needy now that Bobby needs her less, a common empty nest phenomenon. The series incorporates the show's catch phrases effectively, but not all at once. It's not until Episode 3 that Hank makes his famous reference to Bobby. Boomhauer's gibberish is still funny. An episode handles cultural appropriation, neither condemning attempts at sensitivity nor calling out appropriation. A Black restaurateur challenges Bobby running a Japanese fusion restaurant, but the characters have sincere interest in other cultures and protecting theirs. The modern era has only enabled Dale's conspiracy theories further. His anti-mask stance extends to gas masks and catcher's masks, and he even considers his own election to mayor a conspiracy. Pandemic isolation and delivery services have enabled Bill to become even more antisocial. The new opening titles cover the years between the Fox series and the Hulu revival, as characters grow up and wear masks during a brief period covering the COVID-19 pandemic. The animation uses simple alterations to acknowledge the time passed. A line or two added to Boomhauer's face makes him look older, as does Hank's graying hair. There is still some plain old cartoon absurdity, such as an episode in which Bobby must care for a horse. Aging up the King of the Hill characters proves to be the right choice. Showing how characters adjust to changing times while remaining true to themselves is a continuing source of humor.

‘Happy Gilmore 2' character's death sparks fan outrage — and a surprising cast reaction
Fans aren't happy about Happy. Spoilers below for 'Happy Gilmore 2.' The Adam Sandler sequel, now streaming on Netflix, has left viewers outraged because one beloved character from the original 1996 sports comedy classic is killed off in the film's first few minutes. 10 Adam Sandler as Happy Gilmore in 'Happy Gilmore 2.'

John Angelillo/UPI/Shutterstock That character is Julie Bowen's Virginia Venit, Sandler's on-screen love interest from the first 'Happy Gilmore.' Although Happy and Virginia get married and welcome five kids together during the nearly 30-year break between the two movies, Bowen's character tragically passes away when Happy accidentally hits a shanked shot at her head during a golf tournament. Virginia's death is only shown during a montage played at the very beginning of the new golf flick, and the movie ultimately picks up with Happy effectively retired and reeling from the loss of his wife. 10 Julie Bowen as Virginia Venit and Adam Sandler as Happy Gilmore in 'Happy Gilmore.'

'Happy's the best, but he did need to have something – you need to have some adversity,' Bowen, 55, explained. 'Yes, Happy is in pain,' she continued. 'And he had to get there somehow. And I contribute to the pain through the heart. I think it is very relatable and wonderful. I loved it.' 10 Julie Bowen as Virginia Venit in 'Happy Gilmore 2.' Scott Yamano/Netflix Bowen previously opened up about how she thought Sandler would recast her with a 'younger' actress. 'I didn't think they'd bring me back at all,' the actress revealed earlier this month during an episode of Michael Rosenbaum's 'Inside of You' podcast. 'I mean, who am I supposed to be?' Bowen added at the time. 'He's got to have a younger woman in this one.' 10 Adam Sandler as Happy Gilmore in 'Happy Gilmore 2.' Scott Yamano/Netflix As for Sandler, who co-wrote the film with Tim Herlihy, he was just happy to return to the world of 'Happy Gilmore' after 29 years. 'You couldn't have a nicer vibe,' Sandler, 58, began. 'It was just the whole thing. There wasn't like a particular day, you didn't want any day to end.' 'You were with somebody you loved and somebody you just met that you idolized,' he continued regarding the film's many cameos. 'It was a kind of legendary shoot.' 10 Julie Bowen and Adam Sandler sit for an interview together before the release of 'Happy Gilmore 2.' foxnews 'It's a shoot that we'll never have again in our life, probably,' the comedian concluded. In addition to Sandler and Bowen, 'Happy Gilmore 2' sees Christopher McDonald (Shooter McGavin) and Ben Stiller (Hal) reprise their roles from the original. Carl Weathers, who was set to return as Derick 'Chubbs' Peterson, sadly passed away in February 2024. His death forced Sandler to rewrite the sequel's script.
