Hey, are you in the mood for something new?
Why not fly with Air Transat to an eclectic music scene?
A vibrant nightlife.
And your next big discovery.
Starting this summer, you can fly direct
from Toronto to Berlin, exclusively with Air Transat.
Now all things Berlin feel closer than ever. Air Transat. Travel moves us.
It's not worth winning if you can't win! Oh, me, me, me, me, me, me, you, you, you, you, you ready?
Whenever you like.
Here come the mighty ducks burning up the ice. Just try and stop the mighty ducks. You're gonna pay the price. Here come
the mighty ducks fighting for the goal. Let's hear it for the
mighty ducks. Time to rock and roll. Let's go. Ducks rock. So good,
Brandon. It's probably the only saving grace to the show is that
this is so goddamn good. Did I let it run? It's actually, I never skipped intro.
I never skipped intro.
I think I skipped intro once last night
cause I kept accidentally falling asleep
during the middle of the show.
And so, you know, I was like, all right,
this intro is going to get me wired.
And then I, and then I just, you know,
the chin slowly dips down as we fall into wild obscurity with this show.
Because you know what I was thinking though, Brandon?
Sorry, not to go, you can kick us off with the thing.
I've got thoughts.
I've got some thoughts.
I've been chewing on them this morning as I've been slamming coffee.
So this is the Cake Eaters podcast for everybody listening.
We are in the midst and the thro throws of the animated series, Mighty Ducks cartoon
Friday morning cartoon, right?
This one's part of the what it do boobies.
That's what I did.
Phil, did you notice Phil switched over from boobies to babies?
You started calling them baby instead of boobies.
Did you notice that? Oh, no.
Oh, I didn't. Obviously, you weren't paying attention to the show.
Uh, no, no.
Well, so that was also me.
Cause when the first, this first episode of this run kicked off, I was like,
God, you know, Phil is still calling them boobies, dude.
Like this is crazy.
And then then literally the next episode he goes, come on, baby.
That's weird.
Yeah.
I didn't know.
So I just assume everybody is calling everybody boobies all the time.
You know, what does that 8,000, 8, 115 or something like that?
The, on the calculator, what is the, well, now it's, it's, I can't
remember because it's, it's 135 I can't remember, cause it's backwards. It's 135, cause the E is three.
Yeah.
So eight thou, I don't know.
I don't know.
Sorry, go, keep doing the intro.
But so we're, we're, we, we've realized how terrible
this fucking cartoon is.
So we're trying to power through these episodes.
Today's episode we're doing what is it seven through 11?
We're talking and then the next episode will be 12 through 16.
And yeah, it's, it's rough. I will say number seven was
probably the best one of the bunch of this bunch. The Dungeon
and Dragons one. Yeah. Did you I did you one of the bunch of this bunch. The Dungeon and Dragons one.
Yeah. Did you I did you catch what the name of the team they were playing?
Because I thought I think I caught it and it's really fucking weird.
So I don't know if it's right.
Um, no, I can't remember.
I'm pretty sure.
The top of my head.
I'm pretty sure at the end of the episode, when they pop back into their dimension,
they're playing the cheese logs.
Oh, maybe. The team from Wisconsin though, right? Like, wasn't it from Wisconsin? Like, hockey in Wisconsin? Did they say that?
I think that's where they're, yeah, I think they're the cheese logs was the name of the team.
Nice. There's nothing wrong with that.
There's another team they play later on, uh, called the crank chefs.
The crank chef. Yeah. These, these names are crazy.
I spent a lot of time this morning watching hockey fights to there is there.
I don't know if there's a much better algorithm to just gently drop into,
like on a on a Saturday morning where you're just like,
especially like the minor league ones. Those guys, those guys,
those minor league hockey players are fucking savages.
Kelly used to get so upset.
Like she hated it when we went to ghost pirates games,
which shout out ghost pirates. They're now affiliated with the Panthers, um,
which makes more sense than Vegas, but, um, she didn't like it.
I loved it. My boy Ski-O was always throwing down. He was the intimidant.
He was the enforcer.
The best was when they spent like the first five minutes of the intermission,
just fighting the whole team,
the whole team of each team just spent the first five minutes of the intermission, just throwing down as they
had to pass each other going into the locker rooms.
It was fantastic brand.
And it was one of my favorite moments of the ghost pirates.
Nice.
Yeah, very, very Shorzy like, oh yeah.
You know, other people are going to be like, oh, it's the bear toss.
The first bear toss is so cool. You know, maybe the first game, you know,
I will say bear tosses bear toss bear toss is tight though. Yeah.
They do that. They, they do that. I'm pretty sure they do that every single one.
Yeah.
They did it with the arrows back when I was working for the fucking Houston
arrows, you know, shout out.
Do they do a dollar dog nights still?
I don't know. I, I don't know. But man, when we did kids games and the kids
ticket, like in the middle of the day for like kids clubs at the
Kannapolis Intimidators, another shout out, um, we would have to go in
at seven a.m. and start cooking hot dogs for those kids games.
And we would just have tubs of hot dogs on warmers for these games.
And the amount of leftover ballpark food that I ate coming from like kitchens that barely
pass, you know, those, that's my God.
It was just to be young again, you know, to, those my God, it was just to be young again,
you know, to be young again with that metabolism, just crushing leftover cold
pepperoni pizzas from pizza hut. If we didn't give them all away and just hot
dogs and burgers and chicken, chicken sandwiches. Sometimes, sometimes my, my
girl, Ms. Judy from the, um, from the, from the back room,
she would cook me up like a special sandwich for that night.
Like if I was on fire in the microwave,
I'd go back and she'd be like,
Oh Heath, I made a little chicken sandwich for you.
And I'd be like, Ooh, Miss Judy.
That was the best.
I haven't thought about that for a while.
That's awesome, dude.
That's called stealing, Heath. No, no, dude. That's called stealing. He's
No, no, no, we got it. We got a
You know, we could that was like one of the only girls Brandon. We got paid six hundred dollars a month You can't go
Go you can't go off menu. That's stealing. Oh, no. No miss Judy cooked it up
I forget what she was you with it, but it was good man. Hopefully she got fired for all the stealing she was doing.
Wow.
You're a savage.
Just for your information,
the Colorado Eagles dollar hot dog night, March 18th.
Ooh.
I do wish I lived a little bit closer to the Eagles.
I loved having season tickets to the-
I live a block away.
Heath got any houses for sale up in that neighborhood that are actually worth my
money.
No, no, they're not in your price range.
So there are a bunch of houses up here, but they are, they are out of your
price range.
Yeah.
Like most things these days, it's terrible that I can make a decent salary.
You can't do shit with it.
All right.
Hold on.
5,318,008.
Oh yeah.
You got to go backwards because of the new flip it.
Yep.
That's right.
Boom.
Just in case the, just in case kids these days don't know how to
spell boobies on a calculator, you're welcome.
I'm pretty sure kids these days are more obsessed with boobies than we were.
Well, they have so much better means to, like, they can see boobies whenever they
want. I had a fight for my boobies, dude.
Oh yeah, dude. Like fight and dial up. And then, and then like, you spend like 20,
like 20 minutes just trying to get connected. And then we, like,
still steal, you know, a buddy's dad's fucking penthouse.
Oh my God.
Yeah, dude.
One of the best parts about like when we would crash over at our, our buddies,
uh, grandpa's, uh, basement, you know, sometimes he'd do sleepovers over there.
He had a subscription to play boys.
So we got all the good ones, man.
Like dude, I remember when WWE was like, fuck it,
we need our ladies boobs out there
to make sure we get some traction.
Boy, we were lucky there.
That's fun.
You know what else we did?
That is one huge sacrifice that we've had to make
with the women's wrestling revolution
is that we lost,
we lost the playboard covers, you know? Yeah. But I will say,
I like this version so much better. Like,
it's so much more entertaining. You know, who's fucking awesome.
You know, who's fucking amazing is Toni Storm.
Have you been paying attention to her stuff at AEW?
The videos.
AEW booking just drives me.
It's starting to really bug the shit.
I only, I only watch her stuff.
Um, I just follow them on Instagram and, Oh dude, you know what?
It's speaking.
And sorry, this actually reminds it like, so I wrestling news, right?
Like I used to love just following along.
I followed a W on Bleacher Report.
Like Bleacher Report just did the most offensive shit upgrade
that I've ever experienced in my entire life.
First of all, it took away all my alerts from the teams,
from the trending, from all these things.
So like I used to be able to just quickly get caught up
through my alerts. It took all that away. It like I used to be able to just quickly get caught up through my alerts.
It took all that away.
It took almost two and a half weeks just to get like the teams that you follow
back in it, like the layout literally looks like, do you remember it?
Speaking of like old dial up, remember the pop-ups and shit?
Like that's what the layout looks like.
It's like a whole bunch of pop-ups for clickbait sports articles.
Like I.
You know, like, it Brandon. Like I am too old to deal with this shit. Is this what my parents feel like?
Like what the, but like I look through though, like I was like, there's no way I can be the only
person that is like, you gotta be fucking shitting me. Like the fact that they made the update with no positive user end user experience is wild to me.
Like they did nothing that was like,
all right, oh, this is better.
Nothing.
They just, it's like, hey, we pay these people
a shit ton of money to work at our company.
Let's pump out the worst fucking update
in the history of sports related media.
Sounds like every company ever.
He's dumb.
I hate it.
I hate it so much, Brandon.
I've left a-
I've never been a Bleachery Report guy.
I can't speak to this.
I love leaving bad reviews and good reviews
when you do stuff right and wrong.
Like they keep asking me to write a review.
I don't know, line them up dude.
I do, like this is like, if you ask me to leave a review,
I'm gonna leave an honest review.
If you were awesome and you asked me to leave a review,
I'm like, hey, that was awesome.
And I am a wildly loyal person.
I will come back forever, you know?
It's like my haircut place,
it's the greatest haircut place ever, Brandon.
You know why?
20 minutes tops.
Just-
That's because you have three hairs, Cease.
Well, you know, like that's my favorite,
but like not super chatty, just,
I do miss the old dudes from Georgia,
like that was the best. Oh, dude. I do miss the old dudes from Georgia. Like that was the best.
I had the best barber shop in Seattle.
That was the best one I had.
Me too.
Where'd you go?
Was it in the lobby of a hospital?
No.
Oh.
No, mine was real close to where I lived with Brahman.
It was on Jackson Street.
I'm pretty sure it was just called Central Barber.
But it was two dudes...
It was so fucking Seattle.
It was two white dudes that were both obsessed with Ken Griffey Jr.
Like they had Ken Griffey Jr. shit all over
and then they each had just the fattest fucking bulldog. There's two bulldogs, one girl bulldog,
one boy bulldog and they were just the fattest fucking bulldogs I've ever seen in my life and
they would just chill out in the barber shop. God, I love that. I miss that place dude. I'm assuming
this is maybe going to be a little dark because I'm assuming, this is maybe gonna be a little dark,
but I'm, cause I'm assuming he's dead,
cause he was very old, but I walked,
so I was looking for a haircut, found a place,
it was the only barber shop around up on Pill Hill,
and it was in the lobby of a hospital,
and so I was like, what the fuck?
And it was like, but it was open at 6.30 in the morning,
so you could cut. Oh, damn So yeah, dude, it was rad. I went so I could just walk up there and I sat down.
I was like, oh, okay. So like, I usually do this and this. And he goes, no,
you've been cutting your hair wrong your whole life. I was like, Oh, what?
And he grabs my main GS like sideburns here and he tugs on it a few times, tugs on the back of my hair.
He's like, all right, I'll get you shaped up.
And then he just he's like, I was trained in the military.
I don't use shears.
I don't use scissors.
I only use this.
It was the best goddamn fucking haircut I've ever had branded and I still to this day chase, like I chase the feeling of that post haircut
because that is the one time I walked into that building
in downtown Seattle the next day
and I've never been complimented more as a,
like as an individual that does not have enough hair
to be complimented on a haircut, you know what I mean?
Yeah. I was like, it's like, you know what I mean? Yeah.
I was like, it's like, you gotta be shitting me.
Is this how people feel with hair when they get haircuts?
Like usually people just try not to offend you, you know?
It's like, huh.
Yeah, usually it's like-
Not much left buddy.
Yeah, usually it's like-
Let's fight in that battle.
Yeah, usually it's like you get a haircut, cool.
People are like, oh my God, Heath, your hair looks great.
And I was like, some dude just rain man the shit out of my hair. I
know. What did he do? What did he do? Because your hair your
hair doesn't look any different than it did years ago, to be
completely honest with you.
I don't know, Brandon. Like it was just in this brief moment.
Like I was only in Seattle, like what seven months, eight
months tops like, do you like, like three haircuts.
The next person you went to ruined it again, didn't they?
Oh yeah.
Fucking assholes.
I've never been back.
Like, I was like, like that's what I'm saying.
Like that was, that's like the smallest window of having awesome hair that I've, you know,
but I still think every time I go to get a haircut. I think about that guy
Yeah, I do love I had another good barber in Atlanta
His name was Zack. I believe yeah
He was cool as shit, but he was the same way we I went in because I like I said I don't have any hair. I've never had a good hair day in my entire life
I don't I don't know what I'm doing up there
So when I go to like a new barber or whatever and and they're like, so what do you wanna do?
And it's like, I don't fucking know, dude.
And so the dude Zach in Atlanta,
he was like, I think I told him
what I normally tell people.
And he was like, he did the same thing.
He was like, no, let's not, no, let's do this instead.
And it's like, I appreciate that,
because I don't know what I'm talking about.
You know, you're the expert.
The lady that I just went to, she was like, hey, I kind of tapered a little bit to help's like, I appreciate that. Cause I don't know what I'm talking about. You know, you're the expert. The, the lady that I just went to, she's like, Hey, I kind of tapered a little bit
to help with like, you know, the length when it comes later, I was like, I work
from home, I will grow this out until Kelly's like, Keith, I'm actually gently
disgusted by your hair and I'm like, okay, I'll go get a haircut.
That's, that's usually the ticking point.
Sometimes I like to get a little school to get a little baby ponytail in the
back. That really gives Kelly the ick. She loves it. We're doing episodes 7 through 11.
We went down to rabbit hole. I wanted to wrap this up quick. I got some gaming to do. I
got some FIFAing to FIFA. Oh gosh. Yeah. Yeah, dude. I've been playing this. Um,
I forgot what they call it like rush where it's did.
Have I told you about this? It's like four on four. Oh yeah. Like live.
Yeah. Better dude.
I was like the MVP in a few games recently, not the fucking go in the other way.
You know, like they're, they give out the, the, the water, the water.
Oh, they get, they rate your performance.
And sometimes I'll be like, you know what, Heath, let's give these, let's give
these kids a little break.
Let's give them someone that can help this team.
Yeah.
You know, let's give them someone that can that's that's 6.2 was looking a little
rough and they shove you on the far left and everyone else gets
like most tackles best passer most goals and you're just sitting there with nothing and
just a six point oh rating full shame full shame yeah that's how uh um i haven't played
nba 2k in years but I used to do it.
And I, you do the, I don't even know what the team games or whatever.
I don't even know what they call them anymore.
But yeah, they would raise you to and it'd be like, Ooh, that was rough.
I was a rough girl.
They, um, I'm slowly building up my guy.
They have that in FIFA too, but I haven't played any drop in games.
Cause he's only like, I have to keep doing like the activities because he's only like an 83.
That's how they get you.
Cause I don't, I don't, I don't play it enough to get like crazy good.
And I'm not fucking, I'm not spending all my goddamn money.
Like these fucking 12 year olds with their parents credit card to buy the, what is a
VC or whatever.
Yeah.
You just got to grind out those.
Yeah.
So I do like a 77 overall and I'm playing 99s and everybody makes their jump into
those.
I need to be at least an 85.
Yeah.
And then everybody, uh, at least for NBA, they, everybody makes like crazy
characters that are like, you know, seven foot three and they can, you know,
shoot threes or as I make my guy realistic.
Oh, my guy realistic.
My guy is a 5'10", redheaded point guard, just out there mugsing it, and I get destroyed.
Oh my God, I love that.
Anyways, all right, we went on a tangent,
as I was saying, let's hurry up
so I can go do the other things
that I wanna do with my day before Kelly gets done.
Dungeons and ducks. He's dungeons and goddamn ducks.
All right. So it's, it's fun that, you know,
did you see what we got right away though? Was it a Ty Quack, yo reference?
Yeah. My boy.
I actually did miss that, but, um, done.
It's a reference to Dungeons and Dragons and then it says it parodies elf quest characters cutter and skywise okay and those characters appear i didn't catch that at
all yeah so no idea what elf quest is uh meaning it was a um 1978 fantasy story is a comic book. Wow. Sounds like fucking nerds.
Yeah. This, I mean, this is this, this actually, like as a, as a nerd, this is some real nerd
shit. Um, it got picked up by Marvel in 1985 to 1988 DC, 2003 to 2006. And currently it is part of Dark Horse Comics.
It started with Warp Graphics.
So this is, this ElfQuest is some deep nerd reference shit.
And this is, I think this is a problem
with the show though, right?
Like it's just, I would say, okay,
this goes to my tangent on the show,
quite real quick, Brandon, before we dig in, I guess.
This felt like it had all, like Edwin McCain style, right?
Like this had all the trappings
of what could be a fantastic animated series.
They've got Mighty Ducks.
Mighty Ducks.
They've got sick fucking like gear and transportation, the boat, the cars, the
planes. I forgot about the fucking boat. Dude, they've got six. So it has like, it's the
three bad, the four main bad guys, Tim Curry as like Dragones. Like we did add a ton of
villains to the lore during the stretch. And see, I just, I, we did, we did a ton of, a ton of villains to the lore during
their stretch. And, and see the, I just, I don't know.
My favorite was mind bender. I was a couple episodes later, but I think he's only in
it for like five seconds and then they beat him.
And that's like, like I said, it has all the trappings of what feels like it
should be a good, like kids cartoon show from this time. But like then it starts getting executed and you're like,
what is this pile of shit that we're watching right now?
Right? Like it's just like,
I could see where they're going with everything,
but it was like, it just didn't quite hit or you know what I mean?
Like it just, I was thinking about that.
I had Edwin McCain stuck in my head.
And so I was like, this does have like all the trappings of a good cartoon
to be
Captivated
I had that song stuck in my head hard last night and so I was just I've been on a
I've been on a huge
How to save a life kick lately that's been
That song hits me right in the fucking heart man every time
What's is that? Who's it? What's is that life house? Which one's life? No, that's the fray
That's the Colorado band the fray bro. Oh, dude. I yeah
my buddy's parents are
Real good friends with one of the one of the parents from the band
For you, which I figured which member they're like
But they're yeah, they're like best friends with his parents
And so whenever they whenever the fray comes into I don't know if they're still yeah, they're like best friends with his parents. And so whenever they, whenever the fray comes into, I don't even know if
they're still touring, but back when they were, whenever they come into town,
they would do, uh, a like specific friends and family show in Colorado.
And, uh, my, my buddy's parents always got to go to it.
I was super jealous.
Over my head, cable car.
That's a good one.
Yeah. But how to save a life, dude, that was, that song is a fucking banger.
And that was like, when did how to save life came out? Like 2008, 2007?
Um, I've got to pull that.
I just remember it. They played it in every single episode of Grey's Anatomy.
It was every single, every single doctor drama.
2008, 2009.
No, dude, fucking wait, fucking wait, which when was it?
Do that at the 2009?
No, is that you?
You're saying it?
I'm guessing you're I see your tone has the cadence of a question.
Yeah.
2007.
Ah, so is way out so close.
But um, wait, what is life?
Every. Oh, that's um, shoot. I can't remember the name of it.
But by a moment.
That was way that was way earlier though. That was like, uh, that was when I was in like elementary
school. I remember listening to that on the school bus. Yeah, it was 2000.
when I was in like elementary school. I remember listening to that on the school bus. Yeah, it was 2000.
I remember you, oh, pre-9-11.
Singing everything like,
I'm doing this.
I'm doing this.
I know, I-
Sorry. I told you I drink a lot of coffee this morning and just-
You're fine.
I was gonna say, I know I've done this bit. I do this bit on the show all the time where I bring up 9-eleven constantly
But I started uh
Have you noticed that I always I always try to anytime anytime I wrong with you anytime I can reference 9-eleven on the show
I try to but I've been I've I've
Carried that into my real life. So anytime in real life, if I could reference 9-11, I do.
And it's a big hit.
It's a huge hit.
Yum.

When the frustration grows and the doubts start to creep in, we all need someone who
has our back to tell us we'll be okay,
to remind us of our ability to believe, because their belief in us transfers to self-belief
and reminds us of all that we're capable of. We all need someone to make us believe. Hashtag, you got this.
Hashtag you got this.
I don't even know how to respond to that. I got.
All right.
So the Dungeons and Ducks episode, it was they get the ducks
get blasted into a futuristic universe.
This is the one where they miss the game, right?
Yeah, they, so, okay, they, they don't know, they,
they get home in time for their next one. They did miss one game though. That's why
it was important that they got back. Yeah. But I wrote down in my notes, I was like,
since these ducks have gotten here, there's been countless, you know, interdimensional alien terrorist attacks
on Anaheim.
And these motherfuckers are more upset
about them missing a hockey game than any of that.
They were furious about them missing a hockey game.
This also feels like very much like the chicken
or the egg type of thing, right?
Because like, if it wasn't for the ducks, they wouldn't be saved. like, if it wasn't for the ducks,
they wouldn't be saved.
But also if it wasn't for the ducks,
they wouldn't be getting attacked all the time.
Exactly, exactly.
So like, you know, it's just, I don't know.
I agree with the announcer though,
that these fucking freeloading fouls
need to get their shit together.
I mean, they got sent to a dimension where magic rules and helped defeat Astoroth, you know, and they got home in time for that hockey game sent him a gun.
They're not going to miss to and tell you that they were not going to miss the cheese logs.
No. And well, and Phil couldn't afford for them to, you know, to refund all those tickets again for another forfeit.
That's that's unacceptable business acumen by these docs.
They don't even understand the bottom line hits
that Phil is taking.
Look at all the money he had to spend
on their secret fucking base, dude.
That's secret bases in this type of armored warfare.
It does not come cheap.
I don't know.
I just, I, that was me just talking shit, making stuff up. I'm just making stuff up. I do want to point out, I just noticed,
I don't know if you noticed this in previous episodes,
but I did not.
I was not paying close enough attention.
All of their bullets and grenades and weapons and shit,
are hockey pucks.
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's amazing.
Like the little, the rope with the pucks attached
that ties people up is my favorite weapon.
I did not notice that until this episode. Oh, nice, nice. That's amazing. Like the rope with the pucks attached that ties people up is my favorite
weapon.
I did not notice that until this episode.
Nice. Yeah. But that's, you know, they sent to a dimension and honestly, episode seven
was probably the only one I liked out of this like next little group.
It was the best one for sure.
Yeah. Because the next one I wasn't like, God, when wild wing makes a mistake and he's like, I can't do this anymore.
I am a terrible head leader. I've got to retire.
I made the same mistake. They got me with the canard thing. I fell for it.
I was like, Oh, she's back.
They also got me a tear. I was like, Oh shit,
how are they going to work canard back into this? I was like, I should have known.
And then it was like, God, I forgot that that guy's a chameleon, you know, like idiot moved
by me.
How did he, how did he trick the fucking, uh, tracker though? That's what I want to
know.
I don't know. That's, that's tough. But you know, but each of the other ducks tries to
be a leader Brandon and it just, just doesn't quite work out, you know, did you catch a Phil scene?
though when they're
But it was before everybody tries tries to be a leader. They're like practicing hockey and
They go up to him and they go. Hey wild wing bailed
So we need a fucking goalie. Yeah, dude crushed it as a goalie
His phone call.
He talks about Guy Iber, which is the actual Anaheim Mighty Ducks goalie, I believe at this time.
He comes in at the end of the episode.
Yeah, but the phone call, he's like, I keep hearing about this Guy Iber fellow.
What's his about?
And he goes, oh, wait, it's pronounced Gee? I like that. guy, a bear fellow. What's his about? And he goes, Oh wait, it's pronounced Gee.
I liked that.
That was a good note.
Yeah.
You would like that.
Cause you know, shout out Gee of the mighty ducks, right?
It's only fitting that they got,
they got a Gee on the actual team.
Yeah.
Gee and Connie, man.
I miss those guys.
Tale as old as time.
The one of the greatest love stories.
And we love love Heath.
We've said it multiple times.
This podcast absolutely loves love.
That's why we're both certified, you know,
what is it?
Efficients of vows.
Oh yeah.
Certified hustlers, that's us.
Officially ordained is the phrase we're looking for.
Yep, yep.
I prefer, you know, just a couple certified hustlers
out there, you know, pimp in some wedding certificates.
I still haven't got to do it though.
Nobody will let me fucking do it.
We should start an LLC and make our name
something unhinged like that. Brandon.
I thought about like doing a website and like, uh, you doing it for like,
like strangers. Yeah.
Cause you can charge up to like a thousand dollars. Yeah. Yeah.
If you find the right clientele, you can rake it in.
Ladies and gentlemen, we are gathered here today
to bring you two wonderful ducks.
If you can you- Full of matrimony.
Can you please do that voice for Miles and Emily's wedding?
That would be amazing.
I would never do that.
Emily would stab me in the middle of the,
she'd be like, Keith, get the fuck out of here.
That would be amazing though.
It's like GoFull announcer voice.
Yeah, ready to rumble voice.
Ladies and gentlemen, it's now time for My host and Emily.
Y'all ready for this?
I fucking love that song.
I need to look up jock jams again.
When Heidi got that first jock jam CD, like it was,
she got a boom box in the jock jam CD for
Christmas Brandon. Oh, we were come on ride that train and Brian it to to come
on ride that train.
Any like any like
candy sweet and low let me see that tootsie roll.
I see I was I was going more the other way I was going more that's leading and
I see I was I was going more the other way. I was going more that's leading and I was going more like
Um, like the the techno jams they play at sports. Um, what's like a sandstorm and then what's the fucking other one?
What's the other one I always forget the name of the other one, um
I'm not gonna be able to find it but like sandstorm and that kind of shit. I'll do it. I fucking eat
that up. Eat it up.
I'm serious, right? If you're doing a little tunnel walk from
from Oh, what about a strike it up? Oh, yeah. Or it takes two to
make a thing.
It takes two to get out of sign.
It's a solid one too.
Oh my god this so I looked it up. Oh, how can we forget. Pump up the jam pump it up.
While that beat is pumping.
So, Zombie Nation was the other band that are singing of.
Kern craft, and here's what the song is called.
Kern Craft 4000.
That's the whoa, whoa.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
Oh, I love that.
God, this.
This.
This jock jams volume one.
So real hot fire.
This is this jock jams volume one is the reason why I convinced me and my buddies to do won't there it is for the fourth grade lip sync.
Or, you know, what's an underrated one tag team back again.
Go ahead.
I was going to say the space jam.
That's a that's a great one.
Oh, come on. Yeah.
Absolutely. Oh, dude.
What's what's what's the oh shit.
What's the Monstars one?
We used to listen to that Monstars rap
before games in high school, too.
That's amazing.
It was the best because it's like, it's it's um,
it's like actual rappers doing it, you know, it's like method man and
spacey soundtrack. That's that's spacey soundtrack was fucking. Oh my God. It's hit them high.
It's hit him high. Hit him high, hit him high, hit him high.
You hit him low, hit him low, hit him low.
Fucking LL Cool J and Company.
Dude, this has Jay-Z on it, has D'Angelo, Quad City DJs,
Coolio, Salt and Pepper, All 4 One,
Biz Marquee, Monica, R Kelly, and Seal.
Think about that line
What the fuck is seal doing in that song?
How do you not fly like an eagle to the sea
Yeah it is
I've got it pulled up right here
Does he do that? He does the cover for that?
Yeah
Fly like an eagle let your spirit carry me
Do you like my wings bring in.
So that's everybody you listen,
that's everybody on the soundtrack, right?
Yeah.
Okay, I thought that was everybody that was on Hit em High.
Oh no, sorry.
This is everybody on the soundtrack.
That's Hit em High is, let's see who's on this.
Be Real, Coolio, Method Man, LL cool J and Busta rhymes.
Okay, dude.
I fucking I love Busta.
He doesn't give it.
I'm gonna have to get the credit.
He deserves I feel Busta.
My god.
No, no, no.
I need to Jack jam one and the space jam soundtrack.
You're getting added.
Do you ever listen to Canon by Busta?
I don't know.
Probably not.
Oh, it's great. It's't know, probably not. Oh,
it's a great it's a free what DJ it is, but it's like a it's a
beat that one DJ put together and then a whole slew of rappers have like wrapped over the beat or whatever. Busta is
the best best one though for Canon. And because the the
chorus samples. What was the what was the dude, Pat Summerall,
the guy who went with German, when he is so good,
they like snipped a clip from an audio clip
from the Madden games where Pat Summerall
is talking about Rich Gannon.
And when he says it, it sounds like cannon.
So, you know, that's the name of the song.
And so that's a good one.
Look up Buster Rhymes version of Canon though. It's
great. You'll love it. Yeah, I mean, you know,
but you know, the Space Jam soundtrack, I forgot seal was
the the fly like an eagle cover.
It's like the Batman returns one.
That's not a cover. That's a seal original.
Oh my God.
That sound, I was more saying like that soundtrack also
was fantastic.
Did Seal, did that Batman return?
Did you use Super Bowl commercial?
Oh yeah.
The Baja blast.
Dude, the fact that it was Seal being a Seal for Baja blast
just ticked so many boxes on, like this this is why this is why whenever I have an opportunity to buy Baja Blast I do.
Yeah, they get it dude. They fucking get it. Yeah. It's like I know it's not good for me. I know it's technically poison. I don't give a shit. It's awesome. It's a B-hah blast and you know what I'm always gonna do brain I think you were the one that plugged this into my head those frozen bah-hah blasts
Las Vegas Taco Bell strip the spiked ones. Yeah, dude. Oh my god
It doesn't get bad like if you are looking to have a good time with alcohol. It doesn't get better than that
I mean it gets better if you do it during the day so you don't have to deal with the shenanigans, you know,
I'm an old man in Vegas, dude.
Give me the 10 PM bedtime sharp, you know,
give me a breakfast buffet in the morning.
Ooh, breakfast buffet, dude.
Yeah, dude.
That's, that's my jam.
Breakfast buffets.
All right, all right.
Let's, let's wrap up this episode, Brandon.
We've got-
Do they still do,
are there breakfast buffets outside of casinos?
Is that still a thing? I feel like-
Other than Golden Corral, but I don't want to go to Golden Corral.
How do you-
There's a Golden Corral by my house in Houston.
We used to get after some Golden Corral when my parents-
I have definitely dabbled in Golden Corral.
At this stage in my life, though, I don't want it anymore.
You know?
There is one right down the street from me though. So maybe if I can't desperate times for desperate measures, if I can't find.
But I remember, do you remember country buffet?
Oh, yeah, of course.
My family used to fucking, we would do that for any like, what we did, we did it for like Mother's Day.
And like everybody like extended family would all hit up like cousins and we like Mother's Day.
I think we did it for Father's Day too.
We'd hit up country buffet breakfast.
Oh, I missed that.
Yeah.
There was a USA steak buffet.
Chocolate milk on tap, dude.
That was the fucking.
Chocolate milk on tap is unhinged.
They had that at USA steak buffet too.
I, I.
They had that at USA steak buffet too. Oh, did they stick?
They, so like the lunch buffet for that was always had a steep discount.
And so my parents would drop just me and my buddies who were too big for our own good.
And we would just murder like godless amounts of plates of food.
And just, it was, it was amazing. It was, our plumbing was not great afterwards, but man, it was, it was so good. I'm kidding. I'm kidding. All right, so the Dungeons and Ducks. And then it's take me to your leader, Brandon, where they make the mistake. Yeah. And then, you know,, like they come back to assume command.
That's the two, cause that's when they shoot down, um, they're in, they, because they faked
canard, they steal the ducks ship and then they shoot down two other random aliens that
just happened to be there.
Yep. And then those aliens are dicks, man.
Yeah. And they unleash hell on the city. That plant, or no, they steal the plant.
And then they plant the plant and then the plant starts wreaking havoc.
That's when you get everybody trying on the mask.
And then every time the plant pulls one in, it's like, oh, mask isn't for me. Plant got me. I will say they were, um, everybody was surprisingly, um, self-aware and quick to be like, oh no,
I don't need this mask, you know? Everybody, nobody was hogging the mask, you know?
Yeah, it was. And you know, but it just really set up our boy wild wing, you know, the one true leader, the chosen one from canard.
The true the true king.
And then, the Mufasa, if you will, that was about it for that episode and then the next a fucking bullet to the face. Yep.
They crash land in a weird town.
And as they're operating in this new town,
like their frequencies like set off the people
and they realize they're just robots in the town.
Oh yeah. Well, yeah.
Cause at the very beginning of the episode,
they show like a news clip, like a morning talk show clip.
And it's this weird doctor who's like, we should fucking burn the ducks alive.
And then yeah, they're they're driving. They're driving to a
game in San Francisco. And they go through that weird little
small town, the car randomly breaks. So they're stuck there.
And then that's the other find out everybody in the town has
been replaced by robots from, by this doctor.
I forget his name.
Isn't that an episode from something too?
Maybe not.
I feel like, I feel like, I think that's a great invasion of the body
snatchers type of thing.
You're thinking of gray's anatomy.
Okay.
Oh my God.
Does he keep going?
But no, that's it. Yeah. He's, uh, and he, yeah,
I did watch that show a lot in college though.
And I like, there'd just be me and some buddies and we would just be sitting
there like slightly weeping on the couch. Just like, my God, this is sad.
Dude, I'm telling you, cause they, you know,
why you weep is because they'd be in the middle of an operation and they'd start
playing how to save a life by the fray.
Oh, and they're like, they're like running in their medical guard.
Like, where did I go wrong?
Slow sprint down the hallway.
He's coding.
He's coding.
I lost a friend somewhere off the slow run.
Oh my God.
Really was fantastic.
And they probably throw in some Sarah McLaughlin in there too.
But for sure the free any,
any medical drama after that came out 2007, you said any medical drama that came
out after that has played the, that the how to save a life song,
no less than 20 times. Yeah. You know, every episode, honestly,
speaking of medical shows, it's been like a year and a half since Kelly and I
have started rewatching scrubs.
I think it's about time for us to throw that back on. It's the best show.
It's my favorite show of all time.
That's before that.
Sadly that's before how to save a life.
Cause I feel like they would have had a fucking field a heyday with playing that songday with playing that song. What's Ted's acapella group? That's one of my favorite ring calls.
I forget the name of it. Because it's an insane name. But my favorite is when they do like the
old TV themes and Charles in charge of our days and our nights.
Charles in charge.
You know, dude, so good.
It's, they just don't make theme songs like they used to.
I know I've said it a million times,
but man, even like the seven,
even like back before the nineties,
there was just, the eighties had some fantastic theme songs.
Seventies had some great ones too. It just, I mean, I,
listen, my alarm for an incredibly long time is a Sam Burden son theme song.
That's a good move. That's a good move. Cause you know, you know what you look jazzed up.
It just makes you want to dance and you know what you can't do when you're dancing to sleep.
Yeah. And, and, and, you know, I don't know. It just kind of that little, those little horns to start the day.
It's like, all right, dude, I'll get down.
When I was a little kid, I watched a lot of Nick at night.
And so I was the best, but man, I loved Sanford and son too.
And I thought that old dude faking a heart attack, Elizabeth.
I was like, my God, is there anything more peak comedy
than this old guy faking a heart attack
saying he's coming back to join his wife
I was like this seven-year-old he would just be in his sterics and then imitating it like something
I was a huge Nick and I person to you. I used to fucking which
Be which I used to lose it. Oh good with the three's company. I love that show
I would be just fucking, I would be like,
Oh, they're great song with hers and hers and hers and threes company too.
But like a little six year old brand would be like rolling on the floor,
laughing at threes company. Oh, didn't even realize, you know,
all the innuendo. Oh, I got it. I got it. Oh, okay. Okay. Yeah.
Dude, did you ever watch the show that he was in,
like, that was, like, taking place and then he died?
Eight Simple Rules. Great show.
Oh, my God. I never watched that show.
Don't get me started on John Ritter.
I fucking love John Ritter.
Dude, I watched that show with Kelly for the first time.
That's with, uh, Kayleigh Coco.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, and I watched that episode where he died.
And the mom from Married with Children.
Yeah, oh, it was such a good show.
I was like, oh my god, I just missed it.
Anyways, it was a great show.
It was a fantastic show.
Go watch Eight Simple Rules.
And it holds up.
It holds up so good.
But if you are not ready to, you know,
yeah, I think there's like, I think it's like five seasons.
And I think it's the, in the fourth one is when he passed
away while they were filming it.
And that episode where they, where they,
where he dies in the, in the show is heartbreaking.
It just shattered. They're all, it's not acting. Like, it just shattered.
They're all, it's not acting.
Like they're not acting.
Like they're genuinely grieving this individual that just
passed away in real life.
Like it's, it is layered in so many ways.
Anyways.
All right.
Let's go to Beak to the Future because it's a, it's a spoof
on Back to the Future, but I don't think it did a good,
like the whole time during the episode,
I was like, I'm waiting for the
Back to the Future spoof of this.
Like it did a spoof of it.
And then-
It was just cause they, where'd they go?
They went to another dimension, right?
Something like that.
Yeah, and they went to the future where Phil was fighting because, um, yes.
Okay.
Because they, they pair up with, with your boy, Phineas Viper, you know, he's
got his snakes everywhere and he teams up with Dragones and so they go to the
future future.
Phil is, um, where he's conquered earth.
Like, uh, sorry, Future Phil comes back.
They touch the hockey stick, he takes them to the future,
and then that's where they're battling Dragones.
But he's like, Dragones hasn't been here for forever
because Phineas Viper is there.
He was transformed into some super, like, bad dude guy.
He had fucking snake heads for hands.
That was dope.
That was dope.
And they shot lasers too, which was real weird.
Fucking snake heads.
Yeah, and the way that it ends,
like how Tanya takes down Project X
is similar to how Luke Skywalker blows up the Death Star.
Yep.
Fun fact, did you see that this episode was not aired long
in syndication for unknown reasons? Did you pick up on anything in the episode that made it seem
like, Oh, this maybe we shouldn't air this. I didn't pick up on anything too crazy. No,
just kind of seem like your standard, you know, like I like I did like how, and that's, uh, see Brandon,
like there was so much potential, I feel like they, they started introducing new bad guys,
but I don't know if they didn't spend enough time, like with the character development
or the characters are unlikable.
There's too many.
Like I said that before, I don't know about that because you look at the X-Men, uh, there's
like a thousand.
Yeah. Yeah. And Batman too, I guess. Right. But like, I don't know. Something just did not work with this.
Maybe it was the writing, you know, like maybe it was just the writing and you want to like all the
stuff around it, but in execution it's bad. And then the last episode that we cover in this
And then the last episode that we cover in this recording is Micro Ducks. And typically I'm all in for some Honey I Shrunk the Kids action.
Anything Shrink Ray. I don't know what it is.
Shrink Ray, I'm in. Time Travel, I'm out.
It's just personal preference, I guess, right?
But like, I love a good bad guy getting his hands on a shrink ray.
It's just, I don't know, just trips my trigger.
I did like Dr.
Droid. Dr.
Droid was pretty tight.
Yeah. Yeah.
Well, we'll get into Dr.
Droid more in the next episode because this episode 11 ends with his head just flying off.
Like, I'll get you, you kids and your little dog too.
Yeah. I love, he does the, he does the like stereotypical bad guy thing where he's like, at the beginning
of like these cartoons where he comes in and he's, you know, kind of, he's taking over and while
he's taking over, he's like kind of giving you his plan, but it's the most vague nonsense ever.
He's like, he's like, I'm here to create the perfect machine. I was like, what the fuck does that mean,
dude?
He is a machine. Yeah. That's the infestation of humans. I did
love I forget exactly what she says. But Tanya like looked him
up and was like giving everybody the breakdown. And she's like,
yeah, he's one by one, he slowly replaced every part of his body with machines.
And one of the ducks is like, Oh, my God, was he like, you know,
did he have to do that? Why did he do that? Was he dying? And
she goes, No, I think he just liked it.
Wasn't her exact quote, but it's essentially that was like, he
was just doing it for fun. He was having a good time, you
know,
Dr. Dr. Droid, he was my favorite bad guy so far, I think.
I was cool with Dr. Droid.
I liked him and I think it's the next episode
where Mindbender, he's chilling on the roof
and he's only in the episode for like five seconds
and they beat him real quick, but I liked him.
He was kind of cool.
I don't know if I remember Mindbender.
He was the dude. They
were like they were driving to go find somebody else. We have
to talk about in the next episode. He was he was a good he
was a good like D D level villain where you it's just off
mindbender you again. What are you doing?
I love how they do acknowledge that pretty consistent. They'll be back.
It's just how it works.
Well, yeah, I think we talked about it before.
Nosedive at the end of every episode, he has some kind of fucking like,
or, you know, force wall break where it's like, yeah, I guess we'll see him later.
Yeah, it's constantly.
Yeah, those micro ducks, they end up taking down Dr. Droid, you know?
Take him down and then his head flies off.
Yeah.
Well, one thing is they stop him initially.
They stop him initially when he goes to the factory and they end up like blowing up a
steel meal.
Oh yeah.
And the cops is like, if I find one feather in this, you're going to jail.
The amount of property damage?
The amount of terrorist attacks that Anaheim is going through right now is insane.
So they stop him initially, and then they're going back to try...
Maybe it is this episode that Mindbender's in, I forget.
But they're trying to back to try maybe it is this episode that mindbenders and I forget, but anyway, they're trying to, I'm
trying to find him again. They're like, where the fuck is
Dr. Droid? And they like go to the thing, it doesn't occur to
them to go back to the factory. Until Mallory's like, Mallory
says, don't wait, don't criminals always go back to the
scene of the crime?
And it's like, obviously, he's going to be back at the factory.
Why is it taking you guys this long to figure that out?
You know, they're not very good for crime fighters and superheroes.
They're not very good detectives.
I mean, I guess it's because they're superheroes.
I can't find this mind bender character in Google.
Wow.
It's either this episode or the next one.
And I'm telling you, he's in the episode for 10 seconds.
Yeah, that's all right.
I'll find it.
I'll go back.
But yeah, it's, I don't know, micro ducks. They, I, we, we see the return of Dr. Droid later, but yeah, it was, I don't know. I remember at the end of last episode, I was like, oh, there's some good spoofs coming. Like maybe we should get excited for these. Wrong. I was wrong. I admit defeat. Like I need to admit defeat in the show. I wanted,
I wanted it to be good. I wanted to get into it. The first three episodes, like with the movie,
solid. Like that's rock solid. I feel like it's fun. It's insane, but it's fun. And then you
probably don't need to jump in after that. Yeah. It's a,, yeah, that's a good recommendation. Just watch those first three
and then call it good. Unless you got a kid and then you throw it on the background. But
yeah, this this is not something you want to sit down and enjoy.
No, no, it it falls off the rails pretty, pretty damn quick.
falls off the rails pretty, pretty damn quick.
Did speaking at kids shows, Kelly and I have been watching bear in the big blue house in Spanish to help learn Spanish.
Oh, grand casa Azul.
Also in La Gran Casa Azul. Oh my God, dude.
It was a great show. I love that show. It's really good.
It's good for, you know, like that, because like, so we put in Spanish and then do English subtitles.
And so it's, I mean, it's a little, little, little bit of a mind fuck Spanish
and read at the same time, you know?
But it's fantastic for, for starting to learn Spanish.
Cause it's just so introductory, you know?
Oh yeah. Yeah.
Gives you a lot of the base words, you know?
Yeah. By the motions. Yeah.
Yeah. Ask him what's your favorite room.
El barrio. It's me favorito. So
so you
