It's not worth winning if you can't win them!
The good news is this song has a great song for us to kick us off to.
Did you pick up on it, Brandon?
If you are using hot, hot, hot.
No, well, that's a good second one.
But during the middle, when he goes to the angels and he is having the
good vibes montage, he goes, I believe in miracles.
Where are you from?
You hockey thing.
I believe in miracles.
Where are you from?
You hockey thing.
Did you not notice I'm saying in that?
I don't know. There was a lot of music in this Heath, but I'm proud of you.
Heath. You did a terrible job.
I couldn't have done worse myself. Thank you. Thank you.
I heard it and I was like, man, Brandon, Brandon would love this.
Did you catch my reference? No, I didn't. What'd you say?
Sorry. There's a helicopter overhead right now. It's really loud.
I can't focus on anything.
I said what Rhea Perlman says to Griffle Kitten a couple of times.
You did a terrible job.
I'm so proud of you.
Everything about the cheesiness of this movie was fantastic.
This is Disney Channel original movies at its finest.
Brandon, what movie are we watching?
I'm gonna stop you right there.
Intro us.
I'm gonna stop you right there, Heath,
because you couldn't be more wrong,
which is shocking because you're always wrong.
What am I so wrong about? What movie are we doing? We're doing H E double hockey sticks. This is the cakey news podcast,
everybody. H E double hockey sticks starting Will Friedle and Matthew Lawrence of boy meets
world fame.
It is Gabrielle Union. Don't forget about her.
Yeah, whatever. She's from Nebraska. It doesn't count.
She's from Nebraska.
So she counts double in most people's opinion.
Yeah, I don't think so.
You guys are really doing a number to yourselves out there.
You see all that?
What you guys are fucking up your farming hardcore with all the, all the Elon Musk laws you're passing.
But he's calm down, Brandon, before you get deported.
But he, you, uh, you could not be more wrong.
It is not a Disney channel. Original movie.
It's not. Nope. I thought it was. It's, I did too. It's not, though.
It's not a Disney channel. Original movie. It's no way.
It's part of the wonderful world of Disney anthology series.
The wonderful world of Disney.
Not a Disney, not a decom though.
Wow.
So, so is that why it's not on any streaming service?
Because it just, I assume that's why it's not on a Disney plus because it just like
lives in the middle.
It kind of lives in the ABC, but like doesn't Disney ABC,
it's the same parent companies now, right?
Yeah, well, yeah, Disney owns everything.
But, but it's, yeah, it's not a decom though.
It's part of the wonderful world of Disney anthology series.
Oh my God.
Okay. Well, I hope it's some of these movies that are in the more like this section of IMDB under this one going to the mat with zero from holes and the littlest Lawrence brother about a wrestling movie.
Toothless with Keirstie Alley, your favorite.
Toothless.
Yeah, it's a tooth fairy movie.
Oh, I know exactly what you're talking about.
I don't think those are Disney channel.
There's no, I don't even think those are Disney movies.
They're all Disney movies.
Are you sure?
Yeah. I'm looking at the IMDb's forum right now.
They all have Disney above them and there's a few more suggestions.
Genius. Remember that one?
Ooh, Toothless is toothless.
Toothless is part of the waterfall world of Disney anthology and
anthology series. Um,
I'm trying to see if it'll give me a big list of the anthology series. It is really trying to try just not to give it to me.
My date with the president's daughter. Oh, that's not a Disney movie.
That's a decom. That's a Disney channel. Original movie. Oh, it is. Yeah. Oh,
there's the Disney logo at the bottom, not the top. Yep. Yep.
My God.
But this movie was as soon as it kicked off with them playing,
feeling hot, hot, hot in big Willie style.
Wilfred Friedle is just doing his thing, talking shit and it's hell.
So everyone's being mean back to him.
Well, not only is it hell, but did you see where they are?
No, I mean, they're at the bills above vocational Institute.
Yeah. Yeah.
The Bielsa vocational Institute where they're learning to be evil,
to help influence evil, uh, top side.
Yep. With Mrs. B.
And my God, if it, and he's like,
he's like a deadbeat and hell school, right? Like he never goes to class.
He has, he never shows up on time. He has a 0.08.
Six.
Zero six. Oh, that makes more sense. And she rounded up on time. He is a 0.08. 0606.
Oh, that means, and she rounded up.
Yeah.
What's, what's her name? Who's Mrs. Beelzebub again?
It's Rhea.
Rhea, Rhea Pearlman.
Rhea Pearlman.
She's Danny DeVito's wife.
Yes. And I remember her from the Olsen twins,
absolute banger classic Christmas movie to grandmother's house. We go.
Yep. And my God, she just,
to describe her as Danny Davido's wife, like I did was, did,
is a grave injustice to her.
She's a talented actress and in so much fucking stuff. Yeah. I mean,
what hasn't she done to be honest? Right.
And she crushes this so much.
Matilda hit her in her and Danny in Matilda is just,
oh my God, it's, it's, oh, hold the phone.
We have to stop and we have to acknowledge young Heath and his personal
favorite Rhea Pearlman movie of all time. And we have to acknowledge young Heath and his personal favorite.
Rhea Perlman movie of all time.
What is it? Not not known to many.
Is it Canadian bacon?
No, it is the 1996 classic.
Matilda Sunset Park.
Oh, Matilda was also starring the one and only Terrence Howard as Spaceman.
I don't think I've ever seen that movie. Matilda was also 1996 though.
It might be it like to say I was obsessed with that movie when I was 10 years old is it
sunset park? What time is it? It's time to get live. It's time to represent. That's what they
would say in the locker room before they would go.
I've never seen this. I got to watch this.
Are you still logged in to my prime? Yeah.
Do yourself a favor, big guy. Okay. Is it on there?
So what did I tell you in a few episodes ago?
If you look into the,
my purchases in in Amazon prime and what I've spent those credits on,
the results would shock you at how absurd, but since I like is on there,
I like going into a two big Mike's profile and fucking shit up.
There's nothing you can do to fuck that up.
Sometimes he gets on these kicks where he likes, um, like Japanese,
like super Japanese, like gory action movies. Um, no,
I he has no idea what they're saying. Usually can't keep up with the, you know,
the English dub subtitles. So he just does it for vibes, you know,
like he's just literally watching it for vibes. Yeah.
Did he watch this movie? This would be a good one for him.
What's that? H.E. double hockey sticks. Yeah. I think this is a good movie for
everybody. I'm going to say that right now. I recommend this movie to everybody.
There's for everybody watching the only way you can watch it.
Like we mentioned, it's not a Disney plus.
There are multiple YouTube accounts that have the full video though. Yeah. There's a full movie.
Multiple. It's worth it.
It is 1,000,000% worth it.
Did I send you the one with the commercials in it?
There's a, uh, no, there's no commercials.
There's another, um, YouTube video I found that had a bunch of old Disney
commercials in it.
Oh man. Now that's,
that is like real watch. And that reminds me of like,
like Kelly will sometimes be like, when did you grow up? And I'm like, well,
we recorded everything off of the VCR.
And so like I grew up in 1991 watching everything from like
86, 87, 88, you know what I mean? Like, and it was just like, in my, you know,
small child brain, it was like, wow,
look at these brand new commercials
that we recorded five years ago.
I love that, but this is,
so I feel like everything about this movie hits for me.
It's super cheesy.
The plotline gently makes sense.
And it's like, like him selling his soul for the Stanley Cup and like the puns.
Like the puns are fantastic.
Will Friedle was just in his bag.
This whole movie.
Fully committed. Fully committed. How he didn't become and do more is just a grave injustice.
Like it just, that guy is awesome.
And when he is in his bag acting like a lunatic,
like in this movie, he is just, he's amazing.
He could have had,
he could have had a handful of those Brandon,
Brendan Fraser movies.
Like remember some of those Brendan Fraser movies.
Remember some of those absurd ones?
I feel like he would have crushed the cat one
with the girl from Austin Powers, you know what I'm talking
about?
What's the-
The cat one.
I don't know.
I might be meshing three different movies together
all at the same time.
So we'll just move on from there.
But I feel like he could have had some of those Brendan
Fraser, like Georgia, the jungle,
think fucking Wilfred Al couldn't have been Georgia, the jungle.
Maybe we had the physique. Yeah. Yeah.
But look at Brendan Fraser now didn't, didn't take, you know, didn't hold up.
Wow. Sorry.
Going straight at Brendan Fraser.
I didn't mean to either. I love that guy.
I even love it when Dickie Roberts, childhood star,
remember that terrible David Spade movie
when he mispronounces his name
and it's the only way I can usually say it
is Brendan Frazier, Frazier.
Anyways, this movie is fantastic though.
And I think one of the reasons why is because
everybody's committed.
Um, will go into their care.
Will's into it.
Re is a hundred percent.
Even, even, even Gabby's in it.
Yeah.
You can leave Gabrielle union kills her character.
The Lawrence brother does a great job being a jerk.
Yeah.
So does the little kid, little kids are fucking piece of shit menace, but, um, the reason it works is those because of all that. And then,
like you said, the plot loosely makes sense and they spend no time trying to
explain anything. It's just magic. Just magic. That's the answer to everything.
What, why is that happening? Magic? Yeah, it's,
it's like literally hell magic and it's like, oh, okay. Like that makes sense.
Like he's got a little Satan remote and it's just out there fucking shit up.
And how every once to like, when he's just walking down the street, making
everyone fall, good God, I was like, oh, okay, right there.
Just go for it.
This is fantastic.
What did they call it?
Flipping people off?
Cause the flip phones.
Yes.
The flip phone was classic when he takes him with the whole
corndog thing. It's just, Oh my God. It was, I don't know.
I loved everything about this movie, but him sell him being a
jackass and not selling or not passing the puck.
And then him selling his soul to win the Stanley cup,
but then them being able to go back on it because the fine print said the
devils will win the, or the demons will win the Stanley Cup, not him.
And, uh, it's just, it really, and you know, my favorite part about it all
though was Marie Antoinette's head.
Oh yeah, that was great.
That was great.
I love everything about the whole BL's above and Marie Antoinette's
head interaction, the puns about her, like that VL's above would do that
were super corny and she asked her to turn on the clap, the clap light.
When she tells her to get her head out of the garbage.
I laughed really hard on that one.
And then the twist at the end
with Gabriel Union being the angel.
And with him, what's his, Gryffelkin with him.
Gryffelkin.
Gryffelkin with him being able to go up top
instead of down below.
My God, like what a redemption story, Brandon.
I just could like, this is,
this is the stuff they're missing on Disney Plus.
This is a true blue redemption story.
It's a feel good, you know?
Like how many other redemption stories
are in this level of greatness?
Well, this is based on an old opera, Heath.
Oh, that's right.
That's right. An old opera, a German opera, I believe.
And in the opera, it's a it's a little I think it's like a it's like a teenage boy who's
in in hell and they send him they send him to earth to just, you know, caution and against.
Yeah.
And what does he do? He ends up not causing genetic and he ends up saving the
day for a couple of people. So then when he goes back down to hell,
all these other little devil buddies are like, you're such a fucking nerd, dude,
or square. And they kick him out of hell because he was too good.
Yeah. And that's, and that's exactly what happens here. And I love it.
It's 6.1 out of 10 on IMDb and 66% rotten tomatoes.
Like it's like people saw it.
No, no way.
I was really surprised by that too, because it, but it like,
it wants to be bad, but it's not, you know what I mean?
Like it's so low budget and it hits all of like the classic low budget tropes.
Um, but there's, yeah, there's just, there's, it's got a little charm to it.
You know, that's it.
It really does.
Like there's something about it in the end where you're like, you know, this
is probably what this wants to be a terrible movie. It makes me not want it. But then like this morning I woke up
and I was like, you know what, let me just, let me just give it another run.
You know, just watching it on YouTube, on my phone, while I'm milling around the
house and stuff. It was fantastic.
One of my favorite things about in the movie was so, so Matthew Lawrence is the star hockey player, Dave Heinrich.
He has this, this love interest, his girl who has a little brother,
the little brother fucking hates Dave Heinrich. And so
the little brother is sick at table hockey, bubble hockey,
bubble hockey. That's what I said. Um, yeah, he crushes it.
But the best part about the little, the little brother though is cause he gets all, he gets free tickets all day. I've hired his games. So what does he do?
He wears the Jersey of the opposing team.
They're playing to every single game.
It is that is peak little brother trolling.
Like that is beautiful. It's amazing. Amazing.
And then he's like, Oh,
you're a reporter that wants to get the dirt here.
I'll tell you what a fucking tool this guy is.
Like he sucks.
He sucks even more than you think.
He gets him into the locker room.
Yeah.
His, his restaurant is epic.
The penalty box, dude.
Everything about the restaurant is fantastic.
The host is gold tender. Dude. Everything about the restaurant is fantastic. I mean the host goaltender where you can't understand what they're saying because
of the, the goalie mask. Like it just, that really,
I don't think it was because of the goalie mask. I doubt you'd be,
even if you had the thing off, I don't think you'd be able to understand him.
I, everything about that made me laugh.
Like I laughed the entire time
that interaction was taking place.
It was just, God, it was,
cause like, it's like, you know,
when we are watching the ducks cartoon,
it was like, we kept thinking like,
man, just none of this stuff is hitting, you know?
Like I can see what they're trying
and I can see what they're going for,
but it just didn't quite click, you know,
versus this where it's like,
I can see where they're going and what they're going for.
And it's kind of clicking for me. And it just, they knew what they were.
They knew what the movie was.
And it feels like they were just having a good time on set. You know what I mean?
The scene where he first gets to the hockey arena and
Gabby is walking
down the stairs and she's doing the hot hots.
Yeah.
She keeps smacking him in the face. Amazing.
And then he realizes she's supposed to be his helper and he has the most
disrespectful,
condescending conversation with her I've ever heard.
He starts the conversation off with, I don't have any problems with women. Really.
Which is a great way to start a conversation. As soon as, well, that's like, that's like, listen,
I don't, I'm not going to, like, I don't want to sound offensive. It's like, oh, here we go. Yep.
Saddle up. Cause this is about to be the second most offensive thing I've ever heard. And then
he tells her to go back to sell it or grill scout cookies.
And thank you.
And thank you.
When he geared up because he didn't pack properly, loved everything about that. I was like, my God, they need to start bringing merchandise through the stands
again.
I know they stopped doing that.
No, you got to go to the shop.
Yeah.
I'm waiting those God awful lines, Jesus.
And then go pay thousand dollar markup.
And then it's like, oh, well, let me go get the cheaper version from fanatics.
And it's like, well, there's a reason it's cheaper because it fucking
sucks and it's pretty low quality.
And I love fanatics.
I've spent godless amounts of money on their site because they find
they have cool stuff.
It's just very cheaply and terribly made.
They've single-handedly ruined the merge game. is they have cool stuff. It's just very cheaply and terribly made.
They've single-handedly ruined the merch game.
And now they've ruined the collectible game.
Oh yeah.
And they're trying to ruin betting for everyone,
but there's no way fanatics betting
hasn't already shuttered.
If it's still going, good luck to everyone out there.
I think it's still going because they do,
they still do the kickbacks.
Where does she buy? Do you buy like an item? You can,
you can use your, your rewards for the sports book.
My parents gave me a fanatic skip card for Christmas and I,
part of the hall was a Kevin Nash autographed NWO card.
Well, I think it's Beckett. Yeah, it's a Beckett autographed NWO card.
I think it's Beckett.
Yeah, it's a Beckett graded one, but it was on sale.
And I was like, dude, come on,
Kevin Nash NWO autograph card, Beckett too?
What a throwback with Beckett being the,
remember, did you ever get a Beckett magazine
and like look up your cards and it's like,
oh, Shaq, 196, let's go, Oh, shack one 96. Let's go.
Dollar 96 for this bad boy.
I told you about my, uh, my fever dream shopping, right? Yeah.
Cause I did another one last night. Uh, what's the site called again?
The always go to a pristine auctions. Um,
but yeah, a couple of days ago, when I first got sick, I did some fever
shopping and I, I, uh, I won the auction for two, two different signed to give a Matamba
posters and then a assigned Jake Plummer Arizona Cardinals mini helmet. Nice. Which, um, I'm
not mad about, I was a little bit mad about the price tag, but I'm not mad about the items.
And then, and then last night I got two fucking steals.
I got a fat fat leaver signed Nuggets Jersey for 25 bucks.
Not okay. And then I got a, uh, a signed photo of, uh, Michael Goulet of the,
of the old Quebec Nordiques. And that was only like five bucks.
Nice. I pulled a, um, uh, Alex English,
auto autograph card from a, from a pack. It was pretty fun.
Nice. It's all pretty, pretty excited about that.
No fat lever, but you know,
although Alex English, great dance, you have a dance song.
You always bring these people up and every time I have no idea who they are.
Dancing with dance.
And they got a song, Alex English.
It's a great song.
There is a Mike Tyson signed boxing glove for $26.
What's the, that's the, that's the current bid.
That's not the price.
Nine hours left.
It's an auction.
You know, options per.
Yeah. My dad sometimes would take me to the in-person auctions and before we walked in,
he would spend like 10 minutes telling me
Like basically if you raise your hand, I'm gonna cut them off. Yes, I would do you guys ever do livestock options
Those are fucking sick. No. No, we're we're we're you gonna put the livestock. There's no
Did your dad work on a farm? I
Mean he yes, he's worked on a farm, but at that point in time, we were living in town
that, you know, you'd get fined if that was, that was the case.
What was the case?
If you're just having animals, you gotta have permits and stuff.
Well, because it's a small town, doesn't mean you can do whatever you want, Brandon.
Jesus. Tell him we're going to get a goddamn permit then.
That's, that's not worth it.
Mama D would never, never sign off on that.
I'm not talking, you don't have to get big ones.
So you got like a couple of chickens and some rabbits.
Yeah.
Or like a, you know, like a flock of ducks.
At that point, you're just, at that point you're just feeding the foxes, you know, like a flock of ducks at that point. You just, at that point, you're just feeding the foxes, you know,
get a couple of foxes.
Anyways. All right.
I got to close out of this pristine auction because it's
Let's, let's get back to the movie here.
Yeah. Cause this pristine auction stuff is pretty sick.
Did you can find some sweet deals?
It can also get away from you like I did when I got sick and I spent way too
much money, but, um, you can find some, some sweet deals.
Anyways, H E double hockey sticks.
I, I, I honestly, Brandon, this, like I said before, this might be one of my favorite movies that we've done
and watched and had a chance just to watch it.
The love that I found out live on air
that it is based off of a German opera,
that just adds to more of my love to it
because it's probably even more unhinged in German, you know?
And the fact that they adapted it to make it about hockey,
even better, right?
Like what a fantastic decision there.
The three actresses were, or actors were fantastic, right?
Will Friedle, Matthew Lawrence, Gabrielle Union slayed it.
Crushed it.
The coach, the Annapolis Angel,
sorry, we didn't talk about that either.
The fact that he got traded to the angels
and then the angels overcame the demons.
Wow.
That's beautiful, Brandon.
Yeah.
It's hope, it's love.
I can't believe this isn't on Disney Plus.
What the fuck is wrong with them?
They have Wolf of Wall Street on Disney Plus now like you can have
H e fucking double hockey sticks. This is
Disney doing I don't know. It's
1000% why we don't have nice things
Yeah, you're changing the angels. We have to talk about the Delaware Demons announcer
Because my god this stuff that he says gets that I need more of his stories.
I got,
I need to know the ending of those stories because it like cuts them off.
Like that was the funniest,
like subplot that the announcer slowly gets more and more
unhinged as the movie goes along. Like you, you slowly, did, did you ever think that like,
he was a demon, like maybe he was just a demon and like,
no, he wasn't like a, like a sub spy.
He was just, he's just seen some things.
Yeah.
He's just, yeah.
Yeah.
He's just, he's just a dude out there
partying with some hockey players, man.
You know? I also really laughed at, um, grizzle, grizzle, grizzlies, um, sidekicks, um, skid
and Mark. Oh yeah. The ones with the tires on the fifth time. Not only were they skid
Mark, but they had tires. They got the red lights stuck for the whole day.
My God, what a one, two punch was skid mark there.
Yeah, they were great.
The fact that, like, we should have known
that Wilfred El was at some point going to need
to body swap
Matthew Lawrence somehow.
Oh yeah.
And end up on the ice.
He does like this.
He, I actually loved it.
I weirdly loved it when he whiffs and he, he's going for,
so Wilfred El comes back out after Matthew Lawrence gets
crushed by boom, boom backs, back cigar or whatever, Going for, so Wilfredell comes back out after Matthew Lawrence gets crushed
by Boom Boom Baxagar or whatever it is,
Boom Boom Bacasner.
I'm absolutely way off on those names.
Baxagar.
Yeah.
But he gets taken out, gets a concussion, gets knocked out.
So Gryffelkin takes his place. Gets um, Griffelkin takes his,
takes his place. It's Griffelkin. Griffelkin. That's what I said.
I was forgetting how terrible you are with names.
Griffelkin takes his place is out there with like a bandage on his face that
looks like he just got a hatchet job for plastic surgery for his nose and chin.
Oh yeah. He taped up his face so nobody will recognize him. like he just got a hatchet job for plastic surgery for his nose and chin.
Oh yeah. He changed up his face so nobody will recognize him.
I know, but it made it look like it was an absolute hatchet job of plastic
surgery and it had like one little weird like dot of blood.
Hatchet job, Brandon.
They even called out his chin.
They said, Hey, what happened to your chin?
Yeah. Yeah. A felon hit it or
something. I don't know. Anyways, he's going for the game
winning goal completely airs out on it and they're like, oh,
he whips it. It's terrible, but he comes back around. So
instead of whiffing it, he gets super demon strength,
or I guess, you know, on the cusp, almost angel strength.
And he ends up ripping that goal
in your favorite kind of hockey moments, Brandon,
for the last second game winner.
Wow.
What, I mean, just the redemption arc for our buddy.
Griffel can.
And then they're, they're, they're, uh, like celebrating or whatever.
And the coach is like, what are you wearing pads for?
What does he say? He's like, I just like the way they feel.
Yeah. Yeah. It's, I mean, it, and then get Gabrielle Union gently influencing him to do the
right thing.
And when she debuts her wings and she just like pulls her jacket aside, like a mobster
is like, no, I come, I come with one on me and it's a wing.
Oh my God.
It was, it was great.
I loved it.
I thought this was a great movie.
It was a great hockey movie.
It was a great redemption movie.
It was a great feel good movie.
It was a great like Kickstarter for a handful of, you know,
like the, is this where Gabrielle union got her start?
Brandon, is this where she was discovered?
Nine, nine. I think this is before.
It's before what you call it, right?
Oh, maybe not.
Is it before bringing on it's right before bringing on right before.
So then bring it out there. Like, Hey, is she, well, if she was also in,
she's also in 10 things I hate about you. Oh, she's all that.
So she's all that came out first.
She's all that.
Fantastic.
10 things I hate about you.
This, this thing, H.E.
Double hockey sticks and then bring it on.
Wow.
This is a hell of a 1999 for her.
That's a, oh my God.
Go big red.
You know, just go big red.
And she reps it too.
She loves coming to Husker games.
Every once in a while she, she makes D Wade come along.
Why didn't she, why didn't she go to the University of Nebraska?
I don't know, Brandon, not everyone can go places.
Yeah.
Why don't you go to the University of Nebraska?
I was not prepared.
Like the,
the odds of me failing out and being a degenerate for the rest of my life were
way too high. I know myself, Brandon,
I would have partied very hard. Listen, I would have had a great time.
I would have had so much fun, but, um, you know,
there are consequences to one's actions.
And I feel like the consequences would have been very real and very omnipresent.
Catastrophic.
Yeah.
That's the, the, the normal well-adjusted man in front of you right now would have
never come to fruition.
Yeah.
Do you know where she went to?
No. Gabby, you knew it.
No. You had a guess.
No. Julliard School of Dance.
She went to UCLA.
Go Bruins.
Well, at least she remembers where she came from.
Yeah.
Well, at least she remembers where she came from.
Yeah.
We think she was about that game last year.
Do you think?
Let's see. Hold on.
I'm gonna see if she was born in Iowa by accident.
Brandon.
Oh, her.
Her mom was a phone company manager and social worker.
Nice.
Her dad's name was Sylvester, military sergeant.
Nice.
Sounds like a sick ass fucking family.
Nothing.
Oh dang.
Nothing about being born in Iowa.
Then. So she actually moved to California.
Was it?
She moved to California when she was like eight.
So that explains the UCLA.
OK. Did you did you see she dated Jason Kidd, 40 when she was like eight. So that explains the UCLA. Okay.
Did you know she jaded Jason kid when she was in college?
I did not know that. That's pretty epic. Did you know?
He went to Cal though. That's a, it's a long distance relationship.
Did you know the director
of this film also directed the sixth man two years earlier?
I don't know what the sixth man is.
Oh, are you serious?
You, do you hate the weigh-ins?
Cause it was when Marlon Wayland weigh-ins, umans uses like the go. It's like a it's like a mixture of this movie and angels in the outfield.
Interesting.
You know, he also directed house guests with Sinbad.
Yeah, I love Sinbad.
I got to watch the sixth man to them. Yeah. I think it's on something.
It's on one of the streaming services right now. It's definitely on something.
It's on Amazon prime. I believe it's filmed in Seattle. Look at that.
It was only at 23% on Rotten Tomatoes Heath. Oh, I mean, it's not a good movie
if I remember correctly. No, why don't you tell me to watch it?
Oh, cause it's worth, you know, he got to remember where we came from.
It's a great movie.
Any ducks in it?
I don't think so.
We never touched on that.
Well, why were you doing H double?
Yeah.
Why in the world are we doing this amazing, fantastic movie?
Twofold actually he's twofold.
Did you catch the both folds?
No.
Did you catch one fold?
Luke Robitaille.
Yes.
Luke Robitaille was the main fold that we did this one and then halfway through
the movie.
Boom.
All Korea came here.
Oh yeah.
I meant to say, yeah, they interviewed Paul Korea about the angels. Just, you know, out there doing work Brandon.
Yeah. So where does this hunger guy come from? I think is what he says. Yeah.
Um, yeah, Paul Korea, Luke Robita.
Two of our beloved, uh, duck cameos.
Yeah. Make a cameo in this movie. You gotta love it. You gotta love it.
I did love it. It was honestly, it was with this movie. You gotta love it. You gotta love it. I did love it. It was, honestly, it was a great movie.
I thought everyone did a great job.
I thought that the movie, you know, I loved the play on words.
Like the name, right? H-E double hockey sticks.
What's wrong with that kind of name? I think that's fantastic.
Like this was...
The puzzles were top notch. Yeah. The vocational institute, I think that's fantastic. Like this was the pause just were top notch. Yeah. Like everything about this
movie is good. Institute. I loved everything about that.
Um, when he's driving Mark, we're great when he's driving
in on the bus. Um, and he's like, oh, oh, is that smells
like trees?
Cause that's a miss B Elsa. B. Elzebub.
Isn't that one of her lines?
She's like, Oh, I love the smell of carbon monoxide in the morning.
Yeah.
That's after she's like standing directly behind the bus, getting blasted by smoke.
Yeah.
When, when, when he's like talking to himself, trying to figure out how he's
going to introduce himself to Matthew Lawrence. All of that was really good.
And when he's like doing the tape recorder,
when he's doing the tape recorder and he's like hopping between seats.
That's great to hear.
Oh my God.
The tape recorder of like the recommendations and stuff of like how we
came for improvement was fantastic.
recommendations and stuff of like how we came for improvement was fantastic.
Yeah. Him practicing, um, introducing himself.
Yeah.
Like, have you ever heard of Lucifer?
Oh, well, and then he names a couple other names.
One of them was old, old scratch.
I've never heard the devil referred to as a whole scratch.
It's, oh my God.
When he first goes to meet, uh, miss Bielsa bub and he goes to sit down and
it's the trick chair falls over.
Well, and it like played like, it like hurt his feelings for real.
Yeah.
The trick chair that was.
That's what he uses at the, when she's like confronting him at the end. Yeah. He's like, why would you turn your back on us? He's like, I don't know. Maybe it was the trick chair. That was, that's what he uses at the, when she's like confronting him at the end.
He's like, why would you turn your back on us? He's like, I don't know. Maybe it was the trick chair.
Yeah. Yeah. They're really, that hit him hard.
And I just, the, the whole fact that they had Marie Antoinette's head as like her executive
assistant is just, she was great too. When she was like, when she turned to Mrs. B and she was like, this is why you can't
let them eat cake.
That's great.
It was great.
When he's, when they sit, when they have to, at the end of the meeting, the
first meeting, when they send him on his way and he's like, you know, walking
out of her office and he's jumping and he's celebrating. He's like,
Oh God, pull the hammy, pull the muscle.
It's classic. There's so, there's so many good puns and quotes. The,
the GPA one fucking cracked me up though. When she was like, yeah,
your GPA is 0.06 now rounded up
Yeah. Your GPA is 0.06. Now round it up.
Or when, uh, he's talking to skidded Mark and they're like, he, he's like,
they're like, Oh, you can't, you're skipping class. They can't skip class until the hunt is the guest speaker.
Yeah, that's right. What a classic guest speaker too. Yeah. Oh wait,
hold on. Um, wait, hold on.
Um, oh, nevermind.
I was going to say, I think that, um,
Camp Rock was one of these like wonderful world of Disney movies, but that's a Disney channel original.
Yeah. The wonderful world or the, yeah,
the wonderful world of Disney anthology
This one went from
This one went 1990, it's just 1991 a present so it's still going yeah
America's funniest home videos. There's toothless. Yeah. Yeah. Anyways, I mean, this is, I recommend this movie to everyone.
Like if you are on YouTube and you have 90 minutes to spare, you know, throw it on your phone and
90, 96 minutes just to be probably maybe more,
more if you get the commercial one,
which nothing wrong with that. Cause that's, I watched, I watched that one. It was pretty good. I'm trying to remember what commercials, um,
I can't, I can't remember, but great night. Cause this is,
this came out in 1999, October 3rd, 1999 was first air date.
Yeah. Um,
what a year did
hide it. I did that too. There.
Three nine 11 just, you know,
this movie was fully aligned with the times.
Yep. They, they did. Despite using the Delaware demons and the Annapolis angels,
the rest of the teams they used were all NHL teams, which was kind of weird, um,
to like mix it like that, but to skew, especially when like you have,
I mean the Annapolis angels make sense because there's nothing,
but you have the New Jersey Devils
Right there for your use right there to maybe they were the yeah, maybe they didn't get the
Well, no, cuz they have the rights to the other team names. That's weird. Yeah, it would be a collective
You'd get all the names all the rights to all of them. Not just one of them. Yeah. I wonder why they didn't do that.
I know.
One of the life's unanswerable questions. Yeah. Although, uh, Wilfred Dell, um,
and his podcast, pod meets world. Have you ever, have you ever watched that?
It's a him and Sean and Topanga, right? Yeah. They, uh, I think they just, I think they just talked about this movie last month.
Um, H E double hockey sticks.
I think they did an episode on it. If I'm remembering correctly, we should try to, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll DM them.
See if they want to come on.
If we'll wants to come on and talk about it.
Yeah.
I'm sure he's math.
You don't want to do a podcast with a couple of losers like us. You know,
he was once a, a loser as well. He's yeah. Okay. Well,
you gotta, you gotta know your roots, you know? Yeah. But Matthew Lawrence,
I blame it all on my room. Matthew Lawrence also has a podcast.
The brotherly love podcast.
I'll send him a DM to maybe he wants to come on.
Talk about how sick this movie is.
Yeah, dude, this movie fucking rocks, man.
I agree.
I mean, there's like literally the apprentice
of the devil goes to steal the hole.
The hole, sorry, that was a, it's always sunny, almost reference.
Yeah.
Goes to steal the troll hole, gotta pay the toll.
Anyways.
Wildly inappropriate.
Anyways, he goes to steal the soul of a jerk hockey player.
Like this is, the whole premise is fantastic.
The execution was great.
And once again, Disney needs to release
all of these absurd movies that are in their portfolio
that just are not on Disney Plus.
Like Disney Plus should be take Hulu off,
get Hulu the fuck off a Disney plus and put in every movie that Disney has ever made, regardless of like how panned or how terrible.
Like they have the little warning now if like stuff that they did was offensive.
Just put that in front of it.
If you're worried about it, like, God damn it.
They have a bunch of their own racist movies up. Why can't we put this one up?
You know what I'm saying? Like just put the little disclaimer thing that they
put ahead of the other ones. If they're so freaking worried about it,
like this is crazy to me. Like get who,
like nothing has pissed me off more than Hulu being on Disney plus.
Like if I wanted my Hulu stuff, you know what I go to fucking Hulu.
I will go to the fucking Hulu app if I want to watch something on Hulu.
But if I'm watching on Disney plus,
I don't want all of this nonsense distracting from the movies that I'm
looking for. It's ridiculous. Brandon. I hate it.
You're such a, we, you're the stands you make are so weird.
Yeah. Just something that bugs me. Why, why would you not want,
everything is so spread out now that you have to have 18 different fucking, um, accounts.
Well, I hate that we have to have a million accounts. But to be able to log into one and watch two
is amazing. No, it's too much.
There's too much content.
There's too many things to choose from.
I like it to be separate so that I know
my Disney is in my Disney and the other random stuff
that rotates between Prime, Hulu, Peacock,
and Macs, they all just rotate
from one of the streaming services into the other.
It's like, Oh, Harry Potter has been on max for the last eight months.
Now it's exclusively on peacock for four months.
Um, you know, what a journey.
Anyways, that's just my piece.
You're just such an idiot.
This is the dumbest take I've ever heard.
It's not the dumbest take. I like to have my day and it's like,
I feel like if Hulu and Peacock were mixed, it wouldn't be too bad,
but I've just like my Disney separate.
Hulu is owned by Disney though.
I know, but I like the Disney movies to be separate.
It's weird.
What's, why is that a weird? That's just, but I like the Disney movies to be separate. It's weird.
Why is that a weird?
That's just, I prefer to not get the other stuff
lost in the sauce if I'm looking for Robin Hood
or, you know, Emperor's New Groove or something.
How does that change anything?
You know what movie I've really been locked into recently
is Encanto.
He would.
Have you ever seen that movie?
Yeah. The songs. Great.
I love the songs on it.
It's OK.
Why, it sounds like you're racist.
Yeah, I just don't.
Not a big you know how I feel about musicals.
He's that's true.
That's true. You don't like them.
But anyways, um,
this movie I recommend that my, my biggest beef is that it's not on a streaming service. It should be.
And it's, it's, it's just kind of wonderful. It's will, will Fred,
Fred L it is in his bag and his prime. Just,
I remember when watching this, when it came out, um, and being like, I
fucking love this movie.
And then, um, when I, when I realized we could do it for the podcast, I was like,
I really hope it's as good as I remember.
And it's not just nostalgia.
Um, and I was pleasantly surprised.
It was, it was pretty fucking good.
Yeah.
And I mean, there's a lot of nostalgia in there. I mean, it,
it also helps like I will will for now is my humor too.
Like his delivery is Eric Matthews is yeah,
a hundred percent my humor and speaking to which a great scene that we,
we overlooked was when he goes to a Heinrich's apartment and he's yelling at the doorman
through the glass and he, uh, he's yelling at the doorman cause he's like, Oh, Oh, you
don't think I'm the devil. Oh, let me show you. Let me fucking beat you up. And he called
while he's in the middle of like telling the doorman, he's going to, he's going to kick
his ass. He calls him a cutie. He goes, he goes, wait,
wait till I, wait till I show you what I can do with this thing, cutie.
And I was like, that is amazing to call somebody a cutie in the midst of like a
fight. I don't remember like trash talking, calling them a cutie. That's,
I'm going to start using that all the time.
Anytime I get in like a trash talk fight or like a real fight,
I'm going to call him a cutie. Just throw them off.
It's like, it's like telling them, Hey, if you don't calm down,
I might get a boner.
Did you ever watch a train wreck?
They're not supposed to train wreck. Oh my God.
With John Cena at the movie theater.
That interaction is hilarious.
That's the same vibe.
Same vibe.
I will punch you in the dick hole.
It's like in the what?
It's like, I think he's in love with you.
I'm not, I'm not like that guy.
You'll be like that.
It's so good.
But that's the same vibes. It's as when he started calling him cutie.
Oh my God. It's good stuff.
Anyways. Yeah, that's, I, I just, I don't know.
I don't have too much else to say. I enjoyed the movie.
I thought it was a lot of fun. There were a lot of good highlights.
I thought that it was well acting on it was well delivered.
And I love the tagline.
It's going to be a wicked good game.
The acting, like you, like we said, the acting is what saves this because
everybody goes all in, um, if they would have half asked it, it would have,
it would have been a slog for sure, but everybody's in it.
They're giving it their all.
And like we said, the, the plot holes, they ignore and brush over real quick.
So you don't even notice.
And you can quickly explain it with just the magic. Oh,
before actually we sign off the last fun fact that, um,
I stumbled upon was Matthew Lawrence claimed that Gabrielle Union got angry
after he refused to
rehearse lines with her and, um, she reported it him to the director.
Good for being a little bitch and not wanting to run those lines.
Sounds like we've got a true professional on our hands from old Gabrielle.
Classic Nebraska, Tattleton.
Um, more classic Midwestern work ethic, Brandon wanting to put in the time, putting the hours we've got our, you know,
everybody under the bus along the way.
Well, if you're not going to do things the right way, then you better get out
of the way, Brandon. That's all I'm saying.
But she's not, she, she threw him in the way though, right under the bus.
No, she threw him under the way that she was passing through.
You're such an idiot.
What's your, give me your cakey rating. What's your cakey rating?
Oh, I forgot about the cakey rating. I give this a three point.
I forgot.
Seven.
I forgot we did one through five.
I was like, I was going off a 10 scale for the second.
I was like a three, three points, seven, three point seven, eight.
Are you going double deaths?
Yeah.
Three point seven, eight. I liked it.
I enjoyed it.
It was like, like I said,
I weirdly enjoyed this all the way through.
I was not, I was not ready for you to go double deaths.
He's on me, man.
I always do.
What's yours? What's your rating?
I feel like this was a winner.
Like this, this movie is a winner.
It's not like amazing, great, like next level. It. Like next level newsies level, but it's good.
I'm going to go. Ooh,
I'm going to go three. I'm going to go three five. Wow. That's pretty,
that's pretty giving for you.
Um, you mean pretty, you mean it's, it's accurate. He's, it's called, it's called being unbiased.
It's called being a, uh, you know, a professional capital J journalist. Heath.
I have bias everywhere. It's like, I could never brand in a Smith. I could never do Jesus Christ.
I could never do the like Dave pizza ratings. Like it's all like seven,
eight, seven, seven, eight, one. Like I,
I would always be like nine, four. Yeah. Well, yeah. Five,
five episodes, five or five episodes with MD foodie boys is crazy.
Did you, did you watch him? He, he, no, cause they gave,
they gave their classic nonsensical ratings and he was like, guys,
that doesn't make any sense.
But that's what they always do. Right. It's like, no, like I like pizza.
And I like cheese and cheese pizza is good. And you know, I've heard good things about pepperoni though,
you know, like, yeah, I don't mind pepperoni, but like, if I have to,
I'll go back to cheese.
It's like, what about supreme?
Yeah, you know, supreme.
It's just, it's a lot of vegetables, but I don't blame people who like
vegetables to like supreme.
They could give a master class on how to talk for 40 minutes and say nothing.
But the reviews were pretty good. Cause like what I think was Nick Levin,
who he gave, uh, he was, it was like the fourth or fourth one or so.
And he was, this is the best one we've had by far. And he gave it like a seven,
eight and Dave was like, you gave the last one like an eight one.
How was this the best one? And the cover was like a seven, eight. And he, and Dave was like, you gave the last one like an eight one. How is this the best one?
And McClellan was like, Oh, I don't even remember what I gave any of these.
And then, uh, there was one with, uh, uh,
Chubb Berm was doing one and they were,
they showed this clip where they're cause they like all were like mumbled around
in a van or whatever.
And they show the clip of him talking to Dave in the van about how he doesn't like crispy pizza.
He likes it to be like softer.
And then they get to the next place and he was like,
this is really good, it's nice and crispy.
And Dave's like, you just told me
you hate fucking crispy pizza.
Those kids are great.
Watching them, watching them interact with Dave was a,
I'm not a huge Dave Bordeno fan, but he, he is fucking funny.
Cause like, I can only imagine that he's, he's doesn't like, you know,
pulling punches with these kids where it's just like,
he doesn't know how to talk to kids. He talks to them like they're adults.
Yeah. Yeah. So he's like, what the fuck? Why the,
why the fuck would you contradict yourself within an hour?
Yeah.
What the fuck is wrong?
This is a job. This is my life, kids.
Anyways, well, Brandon, I think that we both love the smell of carbon
monoxide in the morning and we both love the smell of this movie.
And I hate fucking trees, dude.
I hate the smell of trees. Yeah, I hate fucking trees, dude. I hate the smell of trees.
Yeah, hate fucking trees is probably a portrait of words.
I mean, you should, although I don't like fucking trees.
You need to, you need to love trees.
You need to love your neighbor and that way you don't go to the
H E double hockey sticks.
Brandon, if the Beasel bub vocational Institute is real sign
me up. I'm in. So
So you
