I don't like to record and then you like we start right away, you know, give us the buffer, you know, whatever you say, Brandon, we're not going live, you know? We don't need to. I was gonna say, the three second tape delay for live sequences, right?

So you don't get any- You and your Polly mouth. Well, yeah, and Gina Jackson and her nipples, you know, changed everything. Ah, little nips never hurt anybody. That's right. Yeah. Oh, you ready?

All right. Yeah. You ready? On the road to glory, ain't no turning back. It's got to be the mighty ducks on the quack attack. Look out, clear the way. The ducks are here to play.

Ducks rock! Bap ba da ba da. Ducks are here to play ducks rock. Bap a down, but down ducks rock. Here come the mighty ducks burning up the ice. Just try and stop the mighty ducks. You're going to pay the price. Brandon. That's all right. That's our last ducks are our keys. Yeah. That song is so fucking good though. Like it's honestly, I, I thought about it the whole time I was watching these final episodes and I was like, the only thing that I liked from this series was the theme song.

Yeah. No, it wasn't. I mean, not the only thing. There were two or three things. There was a handful of things. I mean, this needed to be made. I'm so glad it was made. It was perfect for the times, right?

Like everything about this show. I don't know if it needed to be made. It needed to be made, Brandon. And like I said in a previous episode. Like this was a story that needed to be made. It needed to be made Brandon. And it's, and like I said in a previous episode, like this is a story that needed to be told this is Edwin McCain. I'll be, you know, it had the trappings of a good animated series, but just like the trappings of a love that would be captivating. But you know, it just, it just had all the trappings of a really good

animated series for kids. It had the merch ready. It was right there for it. But you know, it just, it just had all the trappings of a really good animated series for kids. It had the merch ready. It was right there for it. Like, you know, it just didn't quite hit. I'm certain that the merch came before the cartoon. I think they made a bunch of toys and we're like, fuck, what do we, we got to, we got to do, we got to make a cartoon now. Sounds to me like a real chicken or the egg situation, dude, actually, you know, it's funny is I, I don't know if you've ever, do you,

did you ever watch the ranking in bass claymation movies at all? No, no. As a kid, that's like the, the Rudolph, the red nose reindeer. Those ones. Okay. Yeah. Okay. I didn't know that. I didn't know. Oh, so ranking in bass are the dudes that did it. Um, they did a Easter one and Heidi and I loved it. Or is it like faithful to Jesus? No, there's,

it's the Easter bunny is coming to town and it's just like, it's similar to the Santa Claus is coming to town and it's just like, it's similar to the Santa Claus is coming to town. Claimation as well. If you still have, if you still have my prime brand and jump on there, you know, I use some of my Amazon credits to get that bad boy. We watched it at Easter. It was glorious, dude. And there's, but there's a whole song in there. What came first, the chicken or the egg? What a crazy riddle. Oh dude, it's got some, what a weird, uh,

what a weird thing to throw it like, I get it. Cause you're looking for eggs, but to throw in chicken or the egg into an Easter special is a choice. Dude, it is so incredible. It's worth the 45 minutes. I'm telling you. 45? Oh God. Okay.

Maybe 40, you know? And then they have a second show afterwards. I haven't gotten into that yet, but my God, rewatching that Easter Bunny show and like he's going to go up against this evil step, step mom queen. And she's trying to like keep the Easter bunny out. You know, it's just, and you see the invention of everything. Easter baskets, jelly beans, Easter eggs. Oh my God.

It's, you know, if you like the history of the Easter bunny brand and it's, it's for you. I'm a, I'm a big, uh, big bunny history buff for sure. Yeah, did I, I knew you'd be all about the Easter bunny lore, you know, a little Peter cotton tail. Here comes Peter cotton tail, you know, hopping down the bunny trail. Anyways. All right. So I always, uh, I always like to, uh, I got sidetracked.

I always like to, uh, I like to sing to flapjack, you know, just to serenade them a little bit. But my, my go-to move is I, I, I swap his name with the names in the songs. Right. Nice. So then Peter cotton tail is a go-to, you know, nice. Instead of Peter cotton tail, it's a little flapjack. Oh dude, I actually, well, that's little bunny Fufu. He's running through the forest because he's scooping up the field mice and he's bopping them on the head.

But I never, I never get to the second verse. Peter cotton tail, he's hopping down the bunny trail. He goes hippity hoppity because Easter's on its way. Then it's Little Bunny Foo Foo that I'm singing to. Wow, dude, you sound so stupid right now. I do that, I do. How do you not know the difference between Peter Cottontail? Can you imagine to our tens of listeners out here

that they're like, my God, he just broke down the difference between little bunny Fufu and Peter cotton tail. So beautifully. Like that's, it's going to go into the Louvre. Like no one's ever heard that breakdown like that. That's what the people tune in for Brandon. Yep. You can't find that anywhere else.

Oh my God. So this is the cake eaters podcast. Everybody. I'm Brandon. That my God. So this is the cake eaters podcast everybody. I'm Brandon. That's Heath. We want to do bang bang. I've been saying that a lot and it's been driving Kelly crazy. See why? And I've been singing it like that too. I want to do bang bang. And I do like the annoying peace signs. It's incredible. But anyway, we're back. We took a hiatus from the cartoon.

We're back though. We're finishing it up. Finally. I don't know why. Well worth the hiatus though. My God, the in between movies. Oh, hot fire. They were hot fire.

And honestly, we should have taken the hiatus like halfway through. I was I was burnt out on this cartoon. It's not a break. No, it's it's and I just like I said, I've said it a million times. I just don't know what it is. That just didn't quite hit. It just didn't quite hit. I wanted it to.

And, you know, some cartoons you can go back and rewatch some you can't. And this is one that you just, you put it on for the children, for the lore, you know, you got to make sure that your kiddos understand, you know, how important the ducks were, you know. If your child gets past, I'm gonna say past elementary school without knowing who Daddy Okool is.

Wildwing. Yeah, you've failed as a parent. Yeah, I mean, listen, once age appropriate, first thing you go to is where are the wildwing toys on eBay, am I right? Oh God, those are probably Dicey. Oh, you think so? Pricy.

Yeah, pricey and a little dicey. Yeah. Oh god, those are probably Oh, you think so? Yeah Pricey and a little dicey. Yeah But uh, we I mean our idea this wasn't too terribly Placed because we we wrapped up, uh on episode 21 last time which Technically is the season finale Um, everything i've read says episode 21, which was the title, the final face off was chronologically the season finale. The last episode.

I don't know why they put it at 21 and then did four or five episodes after that. But here we are. This is Dawson's Creek all over again where all the fucking episodes are mixed up. Oh my, there's nothing worse than Saved by the Bell when it comes to mixed up episodes. Oh my God. They literally go every other episode from working at the summer beach vacation house to in school. Boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop. Just bouncing back and forth.

It is like NBC, NBC. If you can hear me, for the love of all things holy, use AI. You don't even have to use people anymore for this shit, Brandon. Use AI and be like, hey AI, can you put these goddamn episodes in order so that when Heath wants to remind himself what an amazing character Zach Morris was, then I can go back and watch it without like hitting a season being like, God fucking damn it, I can't do this anymore. You you would be just kidding. You would be a Zach Morris fan.

The whole Zach Morris is a piece of shit from Funny or Die is so good. What's the dude who plays him? What's his name? Mark Paul Gosley or something. He recently did an interview, I forget for where, but he agreed with that. He was like, yeah, Zach Morris was a piece of shit. Yeah, yeah. But like that was like the whole charm is he was the worst, but he agreed with that. He was like, yeah, Zach Morris was a piece of shit. Yeah. Yeah. But like, that was like the whole charm is he was the worst, but he always learned from his mistakes.

I don't know. I don't know if that's true. Oh, he always learned from his mistakes. He would make new and more interesting ones right afterwards, but still he learned from them. Okay. You know, it's like in psych when there's a murder in Santa Barbara, every single episode, like eventually it's like, Hey, we got a lot of people dying here. Are we,

are we actually going to continue living here? I mean, people, people die every day. He's that's, that's true. I guess. All right. Let's talk about these episodes. I don't think, I don't think a murder. It wasn't every day. A lot of those episodes were, you know, uh, in, uh, TV time were months weeks and days tops no you're telling me no there was some the fucking what was it um mr. yin or yin and yang that those were each of those episodes was like two weeks long that That's true.

Yeah. Good point. Well, either way. Remember when they did the spelling bee, that was like a week. Oh my God. That is such a good episode. I mean, that is such an underrated show. We've talked about it a billion times. Psych is such an underrated show.

It's then everything about it is good. All right. Let's, let's dig into these last five episodes, Brandon, because the ice ducks cometh is how we started off with episode 22, where the ducks find themselves fighting a two sided war as dragoness attempts to heat earth up at the same time as two aliens try to freeze the planet. What a what a fucking coincidence. Yeah.

The day you decide to burn the earth, somebody comes in and they decide to freeze it. I loved everything about the little gorilla aliens and how they were different colors and their outfits. And it sounded like they used the same voice from many of the other villains in episodes prayer it's, uh, what's his face? It's Jim Cummings, which I love him. And, but every time his voice pops up for a character, I just

immediately think of Winnie the Pooh. Yeah. Yeah. He, but I, it was, it wasn't a bad episode, you know, like the, the, the side. I forget what the two alien guys were named, but the way that they phrased everything and like would say, like how they were going to do. The one dude would like relay it. It was almost as if he was speaking a different,

they were speaking a different language and he was like translating for him, but they were. That was an incredible shtick. I got a good kick out of that. So if I were to take him better notes, I could have, um, spoken to the emperor, Zyloid and commander Xenon. Yes. And they were incredible.

Yeah. Xenon girl, the 21st century. Oh my God, dude. That's what have you, did you see the memes where, um, it was, it was like, how dare you say Katy Perry was the first rock star in space. Put some respect on her name, on his name, you know, protozoa, right? Protozoa. You know, that was a great, that was a great movie.

Yeah. That was a great, I'll never forget when that like premiered and I, we may have even recorded it on VHS. But my God, I remember that in Brink. I remember the countdown for Brink when it debuted. It was just like, my God, this is true blue American cinema at its finest. Yeah. I mean, we've, we've, we've gone at length on our on break choice. Um, and we just did H E double hockey sticks. Dude, H E double hockey sticks. Super underrated. Not a decomb though.

Yeah. Not, yeah. Shocking, shocking, but super underrated. Just like the, with the, the Irish one where the kid plays basketball for some reason. Oh my God. Ryan Merriman, the dude that was in smart house. He's in smart house too. Oh my God. Oh my God. All the, anyways, the smart house is a top five for sure. Same with luck. Yeah. Look at the Irish. Um, so fucking good. Uh, the smart house was smart house was amazing for the, the, uh, like the music tie-ins they did with, uh, the British, the British pop bands.

Dude, didn't they do an in sync like Gary session? No, that was, that was for the British pop band five. Um, where they did, uh, they did, uh, they did like the dance along. Yeah. Yeah. But that was, was that, did they dance to slam dunk the funk? I think that's what they danced to, which is a great song. Yeah. Top tier song, especially for like boy band songs, slam dunk the funk by five. Amazing. For some reason, I thought it was in sync, but okay. No, no, it's fine. It was the British boy band five.

in sync, but okay. No, no, it's fine. It was the British, uh, boy man five. Um, and like that, that's one of my Holy grails, um, for my, for my vinyl collection is to get the vinyl of that album that they, that they were singing to. Cause that album is amazing, dude. It's so good. It has slammed up the funk. It's got a song called when the lights go out, which is fucking fantastic. Party line five, five, five. That's a great song too. That's one of my Holy grails for vinyls is to get that, but they only sell it in the UK and everywhere I've found it, they won't ship it. Yeah.

They won't ship to the U S I might have to, I might have to get a passport flight to the UK and then come back just for that album. Would you want to go to an Exeter city? uh, soccer game? I'll go with you. It's only like a three and a half hour train ride from London. Okay. I'm down. Is it like, uh, um, what kind of train rider we're talking to aim track? We're talking, uh, the tube. I'm not sure. I think the two, not sure though. Two would three or two ride would be tough. But if it's like a train where it like goes outside and I can

like sightsee, I'm all in. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, cause it's, it's, it's a little ways out, you know? Okay. It's probably not a tube then you're right. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Cause the tube is like the subway. Oh, no, no, no, no. It's like you're taking like a train ride.

Okay. Oh yeah. Yeah. I'm in, I'm in, I'm in. Yeah. Yeah. It's like, it's like the fun stuff you see on the movies. You know, like you're taking it's I've answered that incorrectly and poorly, but is I believe an Amtrak ride. Okay. Where you would have views of the country. Like a Euro trip kind of style where the creepy Italian guy sits next to you. Yeah. And that would be the dream, right? You know, like come sit on my lap, buddy. No, but I want to go to an Exeter city game really bad. It'd be fun. Yeah.

And they're like middle bottom of, uh, league one, you know, championship league one, so they were, why are you an Exeter fan? Uh, because I was just hanging out one day and I was doing weird heat stuff and I found that they're kind of like the Packers where they're like their supporter owned through a trust. And so you can donate. OK, there's a couple, there's a couple of teams like that. Yeah, yeah. And but this was the there's a couple of teams like that. Yeah. Yeah.

And, but this was the one that I was like, you know what? I love that they're red and black and white, like the Nebraska corn huskers. And so, you know, I just, this is, this is a bit of a ways away. This is, this is, this is Southern, this is Southwest England. That's the, yeah, that's the best part of England, honestly. Well, see, so anyways, well, there's a Exeter is like in the middle or at the end of like a little Like the the the mountain they're on a river and that river, you know It's goes out to the ocean a little mouth of the ocean there like a little Bay Area

Guess what the the city at the end of the little Bay is called what X mouth something a lot of people would like to forget about ho get it I get it that would be X's mouth though Brandon they got a. Really got a, really got some, some Pegasus's on the, on the badge. I can get behind that. Yeah. They're the group. They call themselves the Grecian's Brandon.

Ooh. Okay. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. I do, I do love a good, cause I'm looking at their, their kits right now. I do. I do love a good red and white striped kit.

Yep. I've got the stripes. They don't have them anymore, but I got the supporter trust kit, but I miss ordered my size cause you know, sometimes sometimes those sizes are too small. So I ordered a double XL just to be safe. It's like a double XL.

Oh, it's too big. Way too big. And so I went XL with the second one that was on sale and it's rock solid. Okay. I see. I mean better too big than too small. It's like way too big though. Like if you if you wore a hoodie and threw it over the hoodie, would you, would it be

fine? It'd be fine. Yeah. That's good then, you know. Yeah. I didn't think about that. You know, like that's a good over the hoodie. Yeah.

Yeah. Especially, you know, if we're going to go to a game, they, You know, like that's a good over the hoodie. Yeah. Yeah. Especially, you know, if we're going to go to a game, they, you know, they play, they play in the fall, don't they? Yeah. I believe the season starts in the fall. It get pretty cold in Southwest England. Yeah. Actually, I don't know if that's true.

I don't know the climate of Southwest England. I know London can get pretty chilly though. But yeah, shout out Exeter city. I think they finished, uh, I think they finished 15th in, in the league. Look at this cute little stadium they got here. Oh dude, it's, it's cool. And like the gear is awesome. Like I've got a really nice, um, uh, like it was on sale too, like a jacket. Should I join the club too?

Oh, you absolutely why not dude? Oh my God. All God. Did I just convert you into an Exeter City fan? How much is a... I mean, I do, I already... You could do like two bucks a year if you want. I do like 50. Does it name your price? Yeah, I do 50. Oh, they'd ended up 16th. 16th in the league. League one. League one, okay. Yeah, but they just got promoted not that long ago. So they're still kind of like,

the fact that they just got promoted and they're still hanging in there, even though they're at the middle bottom, that's still pretty good, I'd say, especially for a supporter-owned team. They're not gonna be able to buy guys. As soon as their guys get good, they've got to send them out on loan as soon as possible.

You know what I mean? That's just smart business, Brandon. But anyways, all right, let's get back. Let's get back to as a strong FIFA manager, I get this shit. But let's get back to, do you have anything else about the ice ducks coming? Like that episode was fine.

Love the little side characters, but it was wrapped up after they stopped them, you know, kind of a big, bad boom, bad. They did try to double cross them. Yeah. You can't triple cross a double cross. That's for sure. The ducks did the thing that, um, I think we've talked about it before that Vin Diesel always does in his fucking movies where he has somebody try to double cross them. And then he's out. He always figures it out. And he's like, ah,

you know, I knew you're double crossing me. They did that kind of thing. Aha. Double cross. Yeah. Uh, but yeah, that's about it. It is. It was solid. Um, definitely, um, above average as far as these episodes are concerned. But nothing to write home about. Yeah, I agree. Sorry. Last thing for Exeter City, Brandon, if you do contribute, we may have to split the Grecian Plus package so we can watch the games. Oh, okay. You know what's probably coming up? Need to check. Is our Adina High School Booster fees. Oh yeah, shout out.

Green Hornets, right? Aren't they the Green Hornets? Yellow jackets? Just the Hornets. Just the Hornets. But they are green colored. Green and gold. Green, green, gold.

Yeah. I'm gonna check on that. All right, so the next episode of uh, the mighty ducks animated series We're talking about here is most sorry. Did you ever get any did you ever get any for night merch? I haven't got any yet. No, I have not we gotta we gotta get on that. Yeah, that's that's something you want to wear around, right? Who they gotta Right? They got a. Yeah, dude, I got in.

I got stopped with one of my mystery kits. Like one of my, like it was a forest green rovers, which is like the lowest league in English premier league. I got it in a mystery kit that I thought the Instagram people stole my money. You shouldn't drink an Instagram shop. You know what I mean? But a dude stopped me. He's like, he's like, Oh, I'm sorry, but like four screen brothers, what in the world do you have

that home for? And he took a picture with me to send to his friend who was a big supporter. Yeah. Isn't that hilarious? That's pretty solid. Yeah. And that's why, dude, this guy was flabbergasted, Brandon. He's like, it broke his brain that there was an American dude with a forest green Rover's kit on in Belize. Like he was like beside himself. It was a good time.

You would have hated it, but I thought it was a fun interaction. Why would I have hated it? Because you're a hater, Brandon. That's just what you do. That's not true. If anybody's hated Brandon, that's just what you do That's not true You know anybody's hated it's you Whatever speaking of which I can't wait

I hope that the Broncos are bad again next year so we can go to a few games cuz I gotta get that It's that flacco Jersey out again. My god. It's just it's so good. It's so good Flacco white flacco Broncos Jersey. It's so good. Uh, flacco, white flacco, Broncos, Jersey. It just doesn't get better than that. They're looking, uh, they're not looking terrible. And they're going to be good. It is this year. Opponent wise is way better than last year.

Last year was a fucking nightmare, but this year we got, we got the boys. Uh, I think the boys and the giants are the ones that are coming to Denver. Oh, those will sell in two seconds. Yeah. So many New Yorkers here. No Steelers though, which is those are the fucking idiot. Those are the those are the ones I take to the bank is the Steelers games. Those motherfuckers will pay anything.

They'll pay, you know, a million dollars just to just to fucking look at Mike Tomlin. Those are the ones I take to the bank. It's the Steelers games. Those motherfuckers will pay. Anything? They'll pay, you know, a million dollars just to fucking look at my guitar. Oh, DK Metcalf now. Aaron Rodgers, dude. That's what I keep hearing. A-A Ron going to the Steelers. I think it's too late.

I think if they were gonna do it, they would have done it. All right. Let's get back into this most dangerous duck brand. And this is a good one. It's the episode is a parody. Duck hunt. Duck hunt.

That's what I meant. Um, it's a parody of the most dangerous game. Yeah. You know, villain Baron von Lichtenstampp. Um, and he's called Colonel Clunk by Duke at one point. And it's a reference to Colonel Clink from Hogan's Heroes. Did you ever watch that? No.

Me neither. But my aunt watched MASH all the time. My parents were not into MASH at all. Just wasn't my mother's sense of humor. No surprise there. No surprise there at all. Uh, but yeah, you know, like this was, I thought this was kind of, uh, it wasn't a bad episode, right? You know, Drogonis.

It's pretty good. There was some missile. Yeah, there was some solid, uh, robot animals, you know, that were trying to hunt him down. That was a lot of fun. Like the whole hunt with the animals that they were dodging in between and he, uh, Baron von Lichtenstam like that's, that's a good bad guy named like, you know, cause he's licking the stamp. He's got, uh, he's got like the robot eye patch too.

Yo, He's got the, he's got like the robot eye patch too. You know, I love how every animal that he conquered also took a bite out of him. It's like the whatever animal took my leg. This one took my eye. And, and the fact that the ducks left him at mountain on the wall. Yeah, that was, that was really good stuff. You know, that was a real bold move to, um, just, he just invited the ducks over to be a part of the duck hunt. And he was just like, yeah, here's all my stuff.

I hunt everything. And they're like, Whoa, this seems sketch. And he's like, yeah, it is because I'm going to hunt you. Yeah. It's good stuff. And they, they killed his bird today. Yeah, OK, that was rude. Yeah, but it was a robot.

OK, it was a robot bird, Brandon. Really, really anti robot over here. Yeah, it's the machines, you know, like they can they can come after this. Wildwing did outsmart the, uh, the robot gorilla. Have you been paying attention to the, uh, a hundred men versus one gorilla discourse? How, how, how do you think a hundred men would, would fare against a robot girl? The same as a normal one.

They would all suffer horrifying deaths. See, I think it all depends on how it's laid out. If it's, if you're going one at a time. Yeah, everybody's dying. I don't, I don't, I don't care. Like a hundred all at once. No one's going to be able to square up and hit it hard enough. Like it could just spin in a circle swinging its arms

and no one would be able to get close enough to hit it. First of all, a girl is not smart enough to spin in a circle. Okay. Did it could grab one person and use it, use it the person as a club to club everyone else. Yeah. I just, I hate, I hate all those.

This is like the the Roman Empire thing where all of a sudden everyone's like, no, I think about all the times like they didn't know you did. Like no one thinks about that stuff except for the weird dudes that randomly, like every dude has a random war that they're super into. And so like, I understand that, but like 95% of the idiots never thought about that. I never, I was never a war guy. I never got into one. Not my.

Well, you don't know anything, but anyways, I hate all of that. It's like the, remember when the dress, the colors of the dress hated that one too. I hate them all. The ice bucket challenge came back. I would love to know if that did anything. And if it did, shout out.

But if it didn't, then why did it come back? And like, damn damn it the only one that I liked was the Harlem Shake that was the worst one oh my god I don't know why but that one cracked me up it's terrible but it cracked me up anyways I I'm looking at the Disney wiki and it has a breakdown of Baron von Lichtenstam and it has his his likes and his dislikes would you care do you want to hear his likes please his likes are hunting trophies playing fair and everything about hunting. Do you want to know his dislikes? What's that ducks?

No, his prey, not playing fair. And then his machines being destroyed. Not a big fan of either of those. Makes sense. Did he was hard when they killed his bird, he was heartbroken. That was a fucking Dick move by them. I was on his I'm on uh baron von lichtenstam side. What did what did batman say? Sometimes you live long enough to see yourself become the villain. Oh yeah. These ducks are villains for sure. Uh but anyways uh it was uh they they stopped the missiles with Dragones. I mean, I almost forgot halfway through that Dragones was like trying to missile destroy things, but.

I mean, he always is. There's not a day that goes by that he's not trying to do that. Yeah. Yeah. Anything else to say on that episode? Otherwise, we'll go to my favorite episode of the bunch next. Yeah. What's the next one? Is it a return of Asteroth? Oh, this is the fucking, uh, elf guy comes back, right? The D D dude. Yep. Yep.

I loved when he appeared in nose dives comic book to try and communicate with them. That was classic staff. Um, but yeah, uh, Asteroth comes back to earth to search for the amulet. Mm. Lord of the red dragons. Yep. That's a sick fucking nickname, dude. He's trying to warn them.

You've got to destroy the amulet. You got to destroy the amulet because the ducks took from, took that as a souvenir, um, otherwise Astroth is going to kill everyone in the world. But my favorite part is that our boy Phil gets his hands on the, excuse me, on the amulet and mother of God, does he start making some wishes brand him. You got to, you know, you got to shoot your shot when the opportunity arises. And he is, I mean, he ends the episode on the beach with beautiful ladies, gets a yacht and the ducks just, you know, they,

they ended up raining on that parade in the end, but it was, it was, it was a good episode. I thought, you know, like the, I thought Asteroth was a good character, kind of like Dr. Droid when they brought him back. Like it was, it was, it was a good episode. I thought, you know, like the, I thought Astaroth was a good character, kind of like Dr. Droid when they brought him back. Like it was, there were two of the better, you know, villain characters. Yeah. I like, I like when they, when they do, when they bring people back, you know, they build upon a previous episode. It's a, I think they needed a little bit more of that at the beginning before they

started just bringing in randos, you know, like it's, it's use up, you know, like build some real back and forth with some key bad guys and then start bringing in the randos, you know? Yeah. Um, maybe they did though. Again, we don't, these episodes could be all out of order. Maybe, maybe, maybe this one was like, you know a couple of episodes right after because it has been When was fucking when was Dungeons and Ducks that was a that was a lot of episodes ago, right? Yeah, it's like episode 12 or 13, I think Episode 7 So took him almost 20 episodes to bring these motherfuckers back. Yeah, that's too long. You had to.

You know, we got to tighten this up, guys. We got to figure out who was who was playing on the timeline here. Yeah, I might have to, you know, do some some cuts. People not performing right. Yeah. Do some Doge cuts on the Mighty Ducks. not performing right. Yeah. Do some doge cuts on the Mighty Ducks. The new BMO V.I. Porter MasterCard is your ticket to more,

Like there wasn't, I did like, sorry, I just remember this from the episode where Astaroth turned like the creatures from the museum loose on everyone. I thought that was a good tactic. I thought I liked that cause he had to, there was like a helmet, like he had a helmet, you know, um, that was helping him do those things. But yeah, otherwise, you know, it was a good, good return episode. Um, but they, they ended up

destroying the amulet and go back with, um, with the elf guy and destroy it from the other version of earth. Although the other version of Anaheim, California. Yeah, that's what I meant. Yeah. Anything else? Now we can move on to the next one, which is my favorite of the bunch. My, the next one might be my favorite of, of the entire series.

It was really good. The duck, duck hard and like how they rock hard ducks. Yikes. Actually, dude, speaking of ducks, you know, if really fun fact about duck eggs, Brandon is they have different proteins from regular eggs. And so my sister who is allergic to eggs has been doing some test runs with duck eggs and she has had no negative side effects. So for any listeners out there that are allergic to eggs. I don't know if we should be, I don't know if we should be giving advice on this here. Somebody's gonna try gonna try give a shot. Somebody's gonna eat a duck egg have a allergic reaction and then we're gonna get sued. He's What I'm just

Do the test within a test safe environment, how's that sound? The ID was definitely afraid of a doctor and she she tried a duck eggs and it's, and it's work working. I say that's a different protein. This fucking guy. Wow. Whatever brand. And you don't know shit about anything. Um, but I don't know how the parody diehard though.

Are you fucking kidding me? It's an exact, it's a, it's diehard with hockey. This is all over again. Did they even at the end of the, at the end of this episode, they open the roof like they do in sudden death. Oh, that's true. That's true. You're right. I just, I think I'm getting this. This is a, this is a shot for shot remake of diehard, man. I think I'm getting this one mixed up with one of the earlier episodes. You don't remember rock hard ducks, dude. I don't know. Oh, that, um, when I forgot that day, cause they got to take clay corn in through the back, um, through the secret entrance.

By the way, it was way too easy for them to get into that. The, the back entrance to the secret layer. That's a security. That's a problem. I loved that. Clay go on was just gearing up to hit them with like the EPA, like, um, you know, licensing, like where he does my favorite, check every, every permit, checking every fucking permit. He does my favorite joke where he goes, you got a permit for that? That's a real piece of work. That's my favorite thing to do at a, um,

uh, at work right now is because, uh, we, everybody that works, uh, at my job, they get, you know, an allotment, like a free, you get a free, uh, allotment every week or so. Yeah. But so people are constantly grabbing stuff and my favorite thing to do is once when they grab it and they're like, we've been doing, Hey, you pay for that. I'm sure they love it. Brandon. It gets them every time. It's like the, the tweet of the guy in the office that, you know, happy Monday,

Bundy. It's you. Now you're about to get serial killer killed by one of your coworkers. So good luck. No, dude. Don't put that on me. If anybody's anybody's going to have a, a workplace, uh, disaster. It's you.

Work for the worst company in the world. I am such a good manager that no one would kill me. You know what? You know what I got reminded of this, uh, with the nuggets and the fucking clipper series, um, is my eternal hatred for everything into it. That came back up again. I spent, I worked for that company for four months. Heath. It was the worst four months of my life. That fucking company sucks. Well, you know, their software is questionable at best. We had to use QuickBooks a lot

where is questionable at best. We had to use QuickBooks a lot when I was working in oil and gas. Okay. I was just saying, yeah, yeah. Oh yeah. QuickBooks sucks. Um, MailChimp sucks now that they bought it out, you know, and that company was just a fucking the dumbest thing ever. Um, and then now, and now they sponsor the dumbest arena in the world too. The Intuitum? Did you see, cause you know how they make, they make shirts, uh, every year

for all the teams with like the slogans, playoff slogans, right? Did you see what the Clippers shirt was? Uh, their, their playoff t-shirt was, win it for the wall. Nice. It's all about the stadium, Brandon and they spend a lot of money on that stadium. Did you see? Did you see what the fucking goober did? Steve Ballmer for games?

Flew a whole bunch of people in for under the basket. Yeah, just to watch him lose by 40 points. Yeah, that was pretty good. Oh my god. And the avalanche. Yeah, that was pretty good. Oh my God. And the avalanche. Yeah, that was choked. That was, that was rough, especially with random. Yeah, dude, random and just some tasty revenge. It's not really revenge. He wasn't he wasn't good.

And he was they kept saying that on the on the broadcast where they were like, it was such a shocker when they traded him. And it's like, dude, the motherfucker was not going to resign. You have to trade it. You can't wanted too much money, but still. Well, his, his, his, that whole fall from a little grace thing with the, at the trade deadline with him and Carolina, his, he should fire his agent, his agent, his agent fucked him up.

Um, but yeah, he wasn't going to resign with us. So it's like you either get something back or he walks, you have to trade him. And they got really good pieces back. Like the pieces they got back were perfect for what they needed. Um, but yeah, and they weren't going to be able to pay everyone because they've got too many guys. But it's still you have to you have to pay kale this summer. He's going to get like fucking bag. He's gonna get like 15, 15, 14, something like that a year, which is what Mika wanted.

You just it's just a bummer that it had to go down like that. The way they lost to, you know, it's just a bummer that it had to go down like that. The way they lost to, you know, just. It's just bad luck. But I don't know, you might have to fire that door. I don't know if you. That's that's a conversation they got to have to you. Might be the time or just, you know. We're not to the ground.

Move the team. That's what I said. Jesus Christ. Moving back to Quebec. Yeah. But the Ducks in Duck Hard also won a championship though, Brandon. Did you catch that?

It was almost a little throwaway at the end. Is that what that was? I kind of zoned out once again. Yeah, they won the championship and it was just like a throwaway part at the end. That could have been like the finale episode or something of them winning the championship while saving the world from Draganas one last time. So I believe this is the episode.

This is the, remember how they did the, they did a movie, right? They released a couple episodes as a movie. This was the third one, I believe, right? Oh, I don't know. They, the movie, I think is first face-off one and two, the first two episodes. And then this is the third one, I believe. Right. Oh, I don't know. The movie I think is first face off one and two, the first two episodes. And then this is the third one, I believe. So it makes sense that they would like win the championship or whatever. Um, but yeah, I zoned out at that point. I didn't realize they won the championship.

But this was by far my favorite episode though. Um, I think because they just straight up copied diehard. Yeah. Like the, this plot makes the most sense out of all the episodes because they just, they stole it from somebody else. That's true. That's, I mean, it was, it was a good episode. Like I enjoyed the, do you get the kidnapping, how they, how they got, how they got out of the kidnapping, how they got back ch Chameleon, how he got in with the delivery driver. The delivery driver was fucking great.

Yeah. He said he's talking to a no star of resolve. Well, you know, my great, great, great, happy. You still always say, Oh, it's good stuff. Fucking great, great grandpapa. You can't, what does he say? Great.

You know, what does it kill you makes you stronger? Yeah. It should have said it should have made up his own saying, you know, I always like it when the people get the sayings wrong. I don't remember whose stick that is. It's a stick from a character somewhere. It is a great stick. Or just to make up a completely new one

that doesn't make any sense. Like, uh. I always like when they're just a little off, you know? It's like, it's like, oh! So I saw where you were going, but we did not get to the correct finish, did we? I like when it's just like straight up nonsense. And it's, you know,

my great, great grandpappy used to always say, you can't get yourself out of being a duck by being a duck. Yeah. Take that to the bank. That's good advice. Think, think about it. Think about it. And if it looks like it's like a duck, it might be a goose. No. No, that's not how that goes.

Oh. That might be a t-shirt though. What I just said, not what you said. What you said is stupid. Thank you. Thank you, Brandon. Now I already forgot what I said. Well, I don't know.

It was probably stupid. Thank you, Brandon. Now I already forgot what I said. Well, I don't know. It was probably stupid. Oh, no, it was my great, great grandpappy used to always say, you can't stop being a duck by being a duck. That's so dumb. It's great advice. Just think about it. Yeah, you wouldn't get it.

You, I get it. You wouldn't. You know about it. Yeah. You wouldn't get it. You, I get it. You wouldn't get it. You're the one who doesn't get it. Do you have anything to say about Duck Hard, Brandon? Do you have any, did you take any notes? Do you have details to share? These rock hard ducks? Um, just, uh, I don't know why I just popped him right in the head again. I think we've talked about this before that big E clip when he's talking about wrestling and his big meaty men slapping me, popped in my head just now with rock hard ducks. Just big meaty ducks, slapping ducks, dude. I got, we need to get it together. Brandon.

But captain Cleghorn in duck hard is like for the first time he's not being the worst, you know? I mean, he starts out the worst, but he ends helping them out. Oh yeah. Doesn't he say he'd like, uh, it's the, the scene where they like, he fogs, yeah, I do. Doesn't he say he like, it's the the scene where they like he fogs, uh, sees and makes him fall asleep. Yeah. And doesn't Clay corn.

Wildlings, like, Oh, thanks for the help, Clay corn. And he says something stupid like, you know, don't don't count on it. Or, you know, he's just busy like, I'm not your fucking friend, dude. Yeah. Uh, just threaten them, threatening them with the EPA. Nothing worse than that. Yeah. I mean, he's jealous. He's insecure.

These, you know, these rock hard ducks come into his life and they basically take over his jobs. Well, that's because they're solving crimes and clayaghorne is messing it up over and over again time just like You know just like the song time after time If you can catch Claghorne messing up time after time Then didn't see it going that way. Did you, Brandon?

Yeah, that's exactly what I saw. Did Die Hard have a theme song? They should have if they didn't. No, I did. When I used to do these mystery boxes though, they did Die Hard at Christmas. And I got John McClane's socks. And the bottom of the socks were,

it was like, um, like the glass. So they like the socks looked like feet in the bottom was like textured. So it looked like glass and blood were cutting the feet. It was incredible. Yeah. I thought you were going to say mother lover. I'm not sure if I'm gonna say that. I'm not sure if I'm gonna say that. I'm not sure if I'm gonna say that. I'm not sure if I'm gonna say that. I'm not sure if I'm gonna say that. I'm not sure if I'm gonna say that.

I'm not sure if I'm gonna say that. I'm not sure if I'm gonna say that. I'm not sure if I'm gonna say that. I'm not sure if I'm gonna say that. I'm not sure if I'm gonna say that. I'm not sure if I'm gonna say that. I'm not sure if I'm gonna say that. I'm not sure if I'm gonna say that.

I'm not sure if I'm gonna say that. I'm not sure if I'm gonna say that. I'm not sure if I'm gonna say that. I'm not sure if I'm gonna say that. I'm not sure if I'm gonna say that. I'm not sure if I'm gonna say that. I'm not sure if I'm gonna say that. I'm not sure if I'm gonna say that.

I'm not sure if I'm gonna say that. I'm not sure if I'm gonna say that. I'm not sure if I'm gonna say that. I'm not sure if I'm gonna say that. I'm not sure if I'm gonna say that. I'm not sure if I'm gonna say that. I'm not sure if I'm a, oh my God, my John Travolta and Samuel L. Jackson. Oh, the Pulp Fiction. Pulp Fiction, yep. All right, last but not least, to catch a duck and where everyone is just really fucking mean to Duke.

Yeah. Dude, Mallory, what is her deal? What was her problem? Women, am I right? I don't know, Brandon, you're the one in the podcast that hates women. I love women. Yeah, right. That's not the way you acted during Slapshot. Or not Slapshot.

Damn it. Sudden death. You're the one. You're the one who said they could be. No, I re listened to that episode. You were the one who said they couldn't be mascots. I re-listened to that episode. You were such a fucking jackass about that. I was like, God, what a piece of shit Brandon is. He's gonna get me fired. He's gonna get the podcast canceled.

My God. No, I love women. I love women. But no, but like seriously, Mallory just right, it's like, oh, Duke, like he's a thief. Once a thief, always a thief. No, but like seriously Mallory just right actually like oh Do like he's a thief once a thief always a thief kind of thing, you know I think this goes back to them fucking up the order of these episodes This had to have been like an early one for her. Yeah, it's like to go You know episode like three or yeah, we're 20. This is the final episode of the season. You can't have doubts now.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. She was rude. And then, uh, wild wing wasn't helping at all either. Like an asshole. Yeah. Wild wing was like contributing to it, right? Like he was not doing, you know, an even, you know, in, in corporate America, we call this seek to understand conversations, right? Like, you know, an even, you know, in corporate America, we call this seek to understand conversations, right? Like, you know, Wild Wing needs to seek to understand

both sides of the problem and then, you know, mediate the solution in between Brandon. So, yeah, so a little coaching for Wild Wing. Yeah, get him on that training program, man. Yep, yep. But yeah, but I loved Falcone too. Love Falcone. He tried to do the old, uh, double, triple, quadruple cross, you know? Yeah. Yeah. That's, oh my God. I, I actually really, I didn't mind this episode. I just, like, you know, being out of order contributed to being like, geez, this is the last episode.

This doesn't make any sense. But like the episode in itself was pretty nice, you know? Like it wasn't, if it would have been earlier, it would have been cool. Cause I loved Falcone. I loved Duke, you know, like, like he knew Falcone and the only way he was gonna be able to get Dragones's plan out of Falcone was to make him think that Duke was on his side.

You know? So anyways, I, I just thought that was that was really good. And you saw like the old, you know, Duke's old crew who he used to run with, you know, the old go-hards. Go-hards. But yeah, you know, I thought terrible final episode, but pretty good random episode if it was during the beginning because of the, the fun, you know,

the fun additional character. Yeah. Falcon would have been a good toy too, you know, like a good bad boy, bad guy toy to have them fight against. Oh yeah. Especially if you were like me and you were doing WWE matches with your action figures, he would have been a fantastic Intercontinental Champion. Yep. Yep.

With the cape and everything. Yep. Yeah. Would have been really good stuff. But yeah, so that's really it, Brandon. Like those are our final five episodes. You know, it wasn't good. It wasn't bad. We got through it. Just fucking nonsense of a cartoon. We made it through it. We made it through.

That's pretty weird. But you know, like I said, I'm glad, I'm glad they made it. Needed to happen. The world needed a spin-off cartoon of the Mighty Ducks movie trilogy. Honestly, a reboot might be just what the world needs right now. Dude, actually, you know, they've been putting out some trash reboots lately, right? Like, let's regroup on the Mighty Ducks animated series and make it awesome. Kind of like that. How would you, would you want it to keep it in like the old standard, like 80s, 90s cartoon style,

or would you want to like update it? You know, like, would it be anime? You know, the youths love anime these days. Would you do an anime style? Would you do, you know? I didn't watch that. You didn't watch it? No. You should.

It's real good. Oh. It's just as good as the original cartoon. Nice. But yeah, do something like that where you kind of keep it 80s, 90s kind of style. You know, you're like, oh, I'm going to do this. I'm going to do this. I'm going to do this.

I'm going to do this. I'm going to do this. I'm going to do this. I'm going to do this. I'm going to do this. I'm going to do this. I'm going to do this. I'm going to do this.

I'm going to do this. I'm going to do this. I'm going to do this. I'm going to do this. I'm going to do this. Oh, um, it's just as good as the original cartoon. Nice. Um, but yeah, do something like that where you kind of keep it, uh, keep it the same, but with 90s kind of style, you just gentle modern updates, write better fucking stories. You know, yeah, because this can, this can, this could do well. Hmm. Maybe. Maybe in the right hand. I don't know if it would do well commercially. I think just, you know, spiritually, politically, I think this is what we need right now. Yeah. The United Ducks of America, right?

Is that what we talked about way back in the day? Ducks rock. Yeah. Yeah. Rock flagging, deck, baby. Do you siphon some of that money we've saved on cuts, you know, put it towards a reboot of the animated series. You know, I mean, done.

I'll get MPR. Finally do some good. Uh, okay. Uh, you have anything else to say, Brandon? Otherwise, we can probably wrap it up. So glad this is over. Yeah, yeah. It's it was it was rough, but needed to be done. Had to be done.

Yes. And it'll be done. And we have a cakey's next, which honestly, he might be the last cakey's we ever do, unless they do another franchise, something or other, unless they kick the franchise back up. What if we do like a re-caking of the first movies? Like D1 re-caked.

What would that entail? We would just, we would watch the movie with a fresh set of eyes and a blank cakey sheet and we would and a blank cakey sheet, and we would fill out the cakey sheet during the rewatch. And we would get re-caked. Maybe. D1, re-caked. We'll put that in the idea folder.

The idea bin? That feels like a shredder, Brandon. Like, don't shred my ideas, you sick fuck. That's not a shredder. I have tons of stuff in there dude yeah okay speaking of which did you see we we just we just got a new uh project we could do we could talk about heath hasn't even come out yet did you have you seen the trailer no i sent it to you i think right or i said i sent a scene to you

they're making a new karate kid movie and guess who's in the fucking movie Joshua Jackson. Oh Did you not see that clip I sent you I think I went through But yeah, they're doing a Karate kid legends comes out At the end of May, so that's gonna date this Podcast taping here, but at the end of May, it comes out in theaters. And so we got a new movie.

We can talk about karate kids. Wow. What a journey. Good old Joshua Jackson, man. Still killing it. Just like me. We might have to do some of his, uh, some of his other shows too. We definitely got some more DC coming up, some of his other shows too. We definitely got some more DC coming up, but I cannot wait for more Dawson's Creek, Brandon. Like there's always do, uh, we could always do, um, the weird doctor show, the weird like cruise show he's doing.

We could do that. Did you ever watch Dr. Death on Peacock? Well, then there's, there's a few, like we can go back to do red dawn. I would love to do red dawn. That's on the list for sure. Yeah. There's a lot of good movies we can go back and deal. That's for sure.

Yeah. Um, we're definitely going to, we're definitely fighting for the gold. We're definitely going to do a karate kid legends though. Um, so keep an eye out for that Heath. Whenever that hits streaming services we can do that. Unless you want to go, do you want to have a movie date? We can do a movie date to Karate Kid Legends. I hate the theater.

We can go on like a, we'll take, we can take off work. We'll go on like a Tuesday at noon, you know, even worse. We can do rent it on prime and started at the same time. We got to wait for it. We got to wait for it to hit prime though. Who knows? And that'll be, I don't know. We don't need to rush into a karate kid movie.

I've never been a big fan. I've never been either. First one was good. Like the first time I watched the dude do the kick, my God, I tried to kick everyone like that, right? Like I think we all tried to kick each other like that after we watched it the first time, but then, you know, you watch it again

and it's just like, it's fine. I hate the karate kids, but we have to do it. It's Joshua Jackson, you's, it's fine. I hate, I hate the karate kids, but it's, we get, we have to do it. It's Joshua Jackson. You know, we've got to do it. You always get mad at me for doing these, uh, doing the game changers stuff with these tertiary characters. I got fucking Charlie Conway here in a goddamn movie and you don't want to do it. Well, there's a million Charlie Conway movies to choose from that,

that don't require us to go to a movie theater. That's what I'm saying. Well, we can wait for it to come to streaming. Okay. That was just a suggestion. I just don't want to spend time with you, Brandon. I'm kidding. So

so you
