It's not worth winning if you can't win! It's the Golden Cakeys. It's the Golden Cakeys. Brandon animated series Golden cake ease. This could be like I, like I said last time, this could be our final cake. You see the keys to end all cake ease. What about the re caking? I get there's a lot of episodes like we got to do. We could do a cake. He's for everything. That's it's D one refrosted.

There's so much out there, Brandon. There's so many play on words for us to do a rewatch. We should do like a live watch, like a live stream watch that could be an interesting take on it. I mean, if, if you could guarantee me more than three people would join in. Sure. No, I mean like me and you like watch and talk like a, like a watch and talk like what a, like the Jr does it with, um, paper views on his podcast sometimes. Okay. Does he do it live or just,

him and the host? Yeah. Watch the pay-per-view together and then they talk about it as they're watching it. So when you, as the listener, do you hear the pay-per-view at all? No. Okay. Yeah. So like, one of them like paints the picture. It's like, all right, so now we're going into this match. Like, let's pause. Like, what do we think about this match? I mean, we print, that's kind of how we did all the episodes. You laid out each and every fucking detail.

Blow for blow. Yeah. It's true. That's true. Anyway, so let's golden cakey this shit out of this. Put that on the idea shredder. God damn, I printed. Let's golden the idea shredder. God damn my brain. Let's Golden Cakey this animated series.

It was rough. It was tough, but we powered through it. We watched it so you didn't have to. There were some good, there were some bad. And we're here to highlight a few things. It was tough. And that way if you wanna go check out certain episodes, we got you, you know, we got you.

It was tough, Heath, but you know what my grandpappy always says? Brandon, do you know, do you know what he says? Yeah, if it looks like a duck and farts like a duck, then it probably smells like a duck. No, he says what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. And then he also says, uh, see if I can remember. You, uh, you can't stop being a duck by being a duck. Are you ready for the first category of Brandon? God damn it.

You know what else he says? You know what else he says? What? If you stay ready, you don't got to get ready. Well, that's a good one. I actually use that at work all the time now. I hope that's okay. I was, I was, I just finally got around to clipping, can't hardly wait for the, for our social media stuff. Oh, nice. And got to the part where he talks about putting his, he's like, oh shit, should I put the Jimmy hat on now?

That's so good do that movie Rewatch that movie a movie is so good. So that was it. That was his problem. He he didn't stay ready He didn't have the Jimmy Hata Jimmy had on at all times. Oh my god. Okay Do you want me to the announcer voice or we just to rip through these categories? Do the announcer voice and rip through it. Um, but I just want to say, I love, uh, I love calling a, I, I, I'm going to refer to a condom as a Jimmy hat from here on out all the time. Yeah. Why wouldn't you? It's called, it's called class Brandon. It's the one thing you can bring to the table, a little bit of class.

All right, so the first category of the Golden Cakeys is best Easter egg. It's been a long time since we've done one of these. Oh yeah, we should run it down. So we each do our own honorable mention for the category. And then we do a combined winner of the, of the golden cage. And we try to keep, we have like 10, 12, something like that categories.

We try to keep them as consistent as possible throughout all of the movies and the TV shows. It gets a little tricky. We won't do the superlatives cause it doesn't make any sense with this. Oh, you don't want to do the superlatives? No, it doesn't make any sense. I actually, you know, just, I just don't like it. That's going to really bum out our two diehard listeners that we're banking on that. I don't think that, like, we can put, I mean, do you, do we know who would win the hunger games?

Who's going to be the most fun at recess? I just, I'm not built like that for this show. So let's do you want to let, let's start with you first after I introduced the category Brandon, go ahead. Who's your honorable mention for best Easter egg, right? That's what you said. The best Easter egg. Yep.

That's honestly not a lot of Easter eggs. Not gonna lie to you, Heath. No, my favorite was though. The very first episode, first face off, part one, they're playing a hockey game, right? Heath. Yeah. As hockey teams tend to do. Yep. Hockey teams play hockey. You remember who they were playing? No.

They were playing the main cohogs. Okay. Flashback to the- Family guy. Well, okay, true. I don't know, was Family Guy around in 1996? No, but they are in cohog. Yes, but they're cohog Rhode Island, though, sorry they are in Kohok. Yes, but they're Kohok, Rhode Island. If anything, they ripped off the Mighty Ducks. Yeah, absolutely. You have some explaining to do Seth McFarlane,

right? That's that's the right Seth. I was getting what Seth was saying. Yeah. But flashback expansion draft, the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim, who do they take? He's expansion draft the mighty ducks of Anaheim who do they take Keith all Korea hmm how do you not notice by now I don't know I say in a lot of words just finish what you're saying where where is Paul Korea from main oh he went to the University of Maine as well born raises I believe is born, he went to the University of Maine as well. Born and raised, I believe is born and raised Maine, went to the University of Maine. Know who else is from Maine? Julie the cat Gaffney. Boom. Triple threat Easter egg.

There you go. My God, I had zero clue where you were going with that. Yeah, the entire time you're got to keep him guessing. And that's how you like you kept asking me questions like I knew where you were going with that the entire time you're talking. Got to keep him guessing. I'll tell you. Like you kept asking me questions. Like I knew where you were going and I had no idea what was happening. Even in the planning sheet where I was like, I don't know what that means. Oh my God. Okay.

Stand your feet. He's standing. Feet. I guess. This wasn't expecting that. Okay. Well, that's, I suppose, I mean, that's a good stretch. That was a good reach. Yeah. Reach the triangle of connections.

That was a bit of a reach. I just, I ran the triangle offense on a Heath and he got real confused. And everyone, everyone took a nap. Everyone was napping. I'm Phil Jackson and you are the 1996 SuperSonics? Is that the right year? Wow. Why would you besmirch the SuperSonics? They stole one game. Yeah.

But they got real confused. They got real confused by the triangle. Well, you know, it's they spent and then they spent all their money on McElveen and let Sean Kemp walk. What a travesty. Was that the right year though, 96? Yeah. Okay.

You were correct, Brandon. Nice. That's when they just did the new like darker green unis. It just, ah, I miss, Sonic's are coming back though. It's happening. And then I have to, then I, where do my allegiances lie? You know, I shifted to the Rockets when the nugget,

when the, when the Sonics disappeared and now the Sonics are coming back. My, my first true NBA love, you know, real Sophie's choice. But anyways, all right. My honorable mention is the, for the best Easter egg is all the episode themes. So like they had a lot of hidden layers.

Like, so for example, Dungeons and Ducks, we had hidden layers. Well, they were pretty obvious, but Dungeons and Ducks was a spoof on the game, Dungeons and Dragons and parodied the elf quest characters, Cutter and Skywise. There was Beak to the Future, which did, had nods to Back to the Future and Star Wars, uh, episode four, A New Hope. I think they had more, uh, tribute episodes than normal episodes. Yeah.

Jurassic Puck, you know, that was a good one. I forgot about that one. Mondo Man episode was, had nods to Superman in it. Um, puck fiction for pulp fiction. We had, um, the beyond the hockey dome, which is a parody of Mad Max. And then, um, we had most dangerous game and die hard. So like it was about 50 episodes of nods to varying, um, rock hard ducks, right? Yeah. Okay. And this was the winner.

He's winner. And the winner is arrow head pond. Oh, I meant to say best Easter egg, but it's fine. Or it's been a while. We're rusty. It's been a, it's, it really has. It's been a long time since we've done a Katie's. Yeah That's the rest. But yeah arrowhead pond the fact that Their layer is underneath arrowhead pond from D2 and the the actual

Arena that the the mighty Ducks of Anaheim played high play that in the NHL now it's called the Honda center. Fucking stupid. Yeah. Airhead pond. Their layers at the underneath it. They built a fancy thing. Didn't have a single goddamn permit for it though. No, no. Officer Kell gorn. I know I did love clay corn. That's what I said. It's definitely not what you said.

It's not what I say. It's what I mean, Brandon. And I did love how all the weird ways they would leave their layer, like they would shoot through the roof or they would go through a weird tunnel and pop out a billboard. Yeah. Motorcycles. That was cool. Yeah. It was, uh, yeah. I mean, and their craft, right? Like their, their, their means of transportation were always sick. Yeah. And then at the end, uh, or not end, it was at the end of diehard, right? Where they, uh,

they opened the roof and they do the fireworks because they won the championship. Oh my God. Oh, when he does that, like, I don't know what kind of gun it is, but I had one for my GI Joe's and you would like, you could like push the missile and it would like fire it out for you. Oh yeah.

You know what I'm talking about? And it had the, he had it there, but that was cool. And then they did the fireworks for the championships that they just barely won. I squeaked it out, Brandon. When wins the win. W is a W. Just some squeakers. Yeah, those were the Easter eggs.

Any other thoughts on our Easter egging? I think we crushed it, dude. Yeah. The next category is best character. My honorable mention is, uh, grid, the muscle. Great honorable mention. I love grain. The what's the actor's name that does it? Brad Garrett, Brad Garrett.

Uh, everybody loves Roman and the pacifier. Yeah. Which we covered. Coach Mern. Go back and listen to the pacifier episode. Yep. He crushes it. He's the. Berninator. Merninator. Yeah. That's what I said. I thought you said burn.

No, the Merninator. I thought you said burn. You can't hear for shit, Brandon. The Berninator would be a sickening I thought you said burned. No, the Merninator. I thought you said burn. You can't hear for shit Brandon. The Berninator would be a sickening name to you though. That's the only thing I'm not taking any of your nonsense anymore Brandon. Let's just start yelling at you. You can't be, you can't stop being a duck by being a duckies. Oh my God.

But granted the muscle, uh, the muscle from the muscle from puck world. I was trying to think of a good rhyme. Like the muscles. Fuck that up, Brandon. Well then nothing rhymes with muscles except for Brussels. Yeah. He, he, his Zen, right? Like the Zen, like the big guy with the Zen. We're going to get to his quote later. He always has like the meta quotes, you know, throughout the series. In the diehard episode when Phil is trying to get them to go suit shopping

and they're trying to distract them so they don't have to go. He says something along the line. He like looks Phil like dead in the eye and he goes, you wouldn't really try to mess with my Zen in peace, would you? And he was great. Yeah. And he always knew when to realign it to write like he say, I think it's the same episode when he finds those crystals, right? He's like, hey, you're distracting Phil because they don't want to do their suit

shopping. He's like, Hey, I need my crystals recharge. Cause my Zen has been off. You don't want my Zen to be off. Big crystal guy. Um, no surprise. He would love Colorado. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. He would just, he would come into, he would come into golden and be like, my God, let me just, let me just rip on these rock shops. Cause you know, the college has a great museum and then a shop with all the rocks that the kids are doing that stuff. I've told you about my dad in crystals, right?

My dad's a big crystal guy. Oh, I love that. Does he charge them in the moon and stuff like that? Oh, I'm sure he does. I don't know. I'm in moon water, Brandon. Will you please, will you do me a favor? Will you recommend that he charges crystals in moon water? I'm I wouldn't be shocked if he's already doing that. I'll ask him. I think Kelly did it one time and I would always be like,

what is happening with these jars? He, uh, he goes to, uh, I said Sedona, he goes to Sedona. Oh my God. Um, he travels. Oh yeah. He does. He goes to Sedona and does workshops every once in a while and then he always comes back and he's got a fucking rock for me as a gift. I got one. I got it. I know the last one he gave you right here.

This bad boy. What is it? I don't know. I didn it. I know the last one to give you right here. This bad boy. What is it? I don't know. I didn't really listen to the ball ball crystal. Listen, Brandon, there's important. It is important that you know it's what energies that is bringing. He said it's like restorative energy. I think it's what he was saying. It's like you were like you rub it on yourself.

Yeah. Rub it on your head. because you need to restore some brain power. I'm on fire today. But yeah, we're that bad boy. Anyways, Crystal Guy, though. Green, we need to get we need to get him and him and Kelly in the same room. My God, that would might be a little bit much, honestly. Kelly isn't as crystal as she used to be. Oh, my sister, do I? Heidi, Heidi could get throw down on some crystals with him.

My dad's also recently gotten into candle making. Yeah. And he has he set the fire alarm off six or seven times. He's he's he's a maniac. He's a fucking maniac. He had a big, because he really likes just like combining candles together. So like he'll get like a big container and like melt like four candles at the same time and And then like all the mat, all the wax like melts together or whatever. And then now he's got a big giant candle. But he had a, he had a massive fucking like, like metal bucket, I guess, but like a, like a long one, not like a, you know what I'm talking about? Like a trough kind of thing. Yeah, yeah.

I'm with you. He had that on his coffee table and was fucking lighting like 20 candles at once. And that's where it set off the fire. So it's a lot of heat. I've never made, the only thing I've really made homemade like that is soap, which was actually a lot of fun.

Like I did. I made a go big red soap. So like the top half was, or the bottom half was black and the top half was red. And it was kind of like a, I don't know. I can't remember the scent, but it was good. It was good. I liked it. You know, I made, I've made soap, I did soap and You know, I made, I've made soap, I did soap and I made so many fucking candles for a broken forest. Um, I was, uh, I was a candle making fiend. I was, I did it too when I was in Seattle and God, God bless ramen. Uh, but it was when I was in Seattle living with ramen and like renting out his tiny little, you know, spare bedroom.

And then I would, for like three days a month, I would take over his kitchen. Cause candle making is, you need space. It's not a, it's not a tight hobby. You know, it's not a, it's not a condensed hobby. You need space. So for like three days a month, I would take over his, his kitchen and his oven, um, or in a stove. And I would fucking make, you know, 50 candles and have them dry on the kitchen counter and God bless around him.

My God. Okay. Do you have anything else to say about Grin? No, just like the, I think him and my dad would get along real well. Okay, nice. Okay. My honorable mention best character, Lord Dragonis dude,

Tim Curry as Lord Dragonis killed it as a bad guy. You know, it was all there. He was there. I honestly think that he didn't need as many like sidekicks since they had so many like recurring villains. I feel like he didn't need quite as many sides. Like he didn't need the trio and I feel like I think the tree was good. I mean, I just feel like more and more Tim Curry could have like maybe help the villain arc a little bit and like really. Yeah, I feel like we never fully fully established dragon is as like, you know, a good villain.

established Dragonis as like, you know, a good villain. I mean, we did our best. I don't think that's the trio's fault. I think that's them trying to work in so many other villains. I think if you, if you cut down on the other villains and have more Dragonis, like Dragonis only episodes, especially at the beginning, right? Like it's, it's, you know, like you can't like Ninja Turtles, for example, right? Like they like Krang and Shredder and Bebop and Rocksteady were fully established as bad

guys before we started bringing in some of our, you know, like the Rat King and stuff like that. Exactly. Yeah. Yeah. I think that that would have been better served. I liked the trio though. The trio was great. Siege and Chameleon. And then, um, I'm not saying that like maybe that's how been better served. I liked the trio though. The trio was great. Siege and Chameleon and then...

I'm not saying that like, maybe that's how I should phrase it. I was just saying that like, I feel like they didn't do a good enough job of establishing Dragontnis, his character, because he was good. And Tim Curry was good. And, you know, his quest to get the Balyrium crystals, to get his ship fired up,

to get back to taking over the universe, a good plight, you know? And so anyways, I feel like he was a bad guy. We could have gotten around, but we never got the chance. So shout out Draganas. Yeah, I agree. All right.

Well, the winner for the Golden Kakey best character is Wildwing. Yeah, I think this is pretty main character energy. Am I right? Yeah. He's just he's the most fleshed out. He's the most because he's the main character. It's his his kind of his his show. So he's he's got the most screen time. He's got the most show. So he's, he's got the most screen time. He's got the most, um, fleshed out character. Yep. Um, and he's, you know, he's, uh, he has the mask. He's got the mask. He was the main toy. Uh, he's the main action figure going around. He's the, they stole his name and used it for the actual mascot of the hockey team. I think they still use that name as the mascot name Wildwing.

Yeah. I mean, how can he not, man? How can you not? Yeah. Yeah. That's one move along. He's cool. Next category is best supporting character. So my honorable mention is a tie. It's a twofer. It's a package deal. I'll say not a tie. It's a twofer. It's a package deal. I'll say not a tie. It's a package deal I feel like there's so many other characters you can call out but go ahead keep going. Uh, yeah, maybe if you're an idiot The best supporting character is the combo the double trouble of thrash and mookie

At the comic book store the the comic book store owners, store owners, they're the owners or employees. Do you know, did we ever, they were owners. Everything I've read says they ran the comic book. So owners, okay. That makes sense. Um, you know, they got, yeah. Mookie with her a little pink mohawk thrash with the mull sense. Um, you know, they got, yeah, Mookie with her, uh, little pink Mohawk thrash with the mullet. Um, they're the first earthlings we meet in the show. Yeah, it's true. And, uh, but they're fucking best buds with nose dive.

And I mean, they're living the dream, right? They run a comic book store. Yeah. And they, they help out every once in a while. They come to the rescue a couple of times. Yeah. Just don't watch big bang theory, but otherwise like modern, modern, like running a comic book store is imagine, imagine how much better big bang theory would have been if thrash and Mookie were the fucking store owners instead of the depressed guy was Phil or Steve. I don't know.

I hate that show. It gets real bad at the end. Kelly doesn't like it because it's very sexist. She says at the beginning. Yeah. So, so there you go. All right. Well, my honorable mention, Brandon, uh, is Chameleon. He is the heartbeat of Draconic's trio. You were just talking about how terrible the trio was. I was saying that I feel like they distracted from Drogonis and he didn't need all of them. He did need Chameleon though. Cause Chameleon's character was awesome.

How he could switch in and out. He was always at the heart of all of their plots trying to get, you know, he duped the ducks a million times, Brandon. Chameleon was the main- He did. He duped me a couple of times. I was, remember when he, what do you call it, what he does?

Was it the Atlantis episode? He impersonated the- Impersonated. No, not that one. That one I knew was, I knew that was him the whole fucking time. the Atlanta's episode he, um, impersonated, uh, uh, no, not that one. That one I knew was, I knew that was him the whole fucking time. That, yeah, that's not the Atlanta's episode though. That's that. That was, that's way, that's like episode six or something like that. How about the Atlanta's episode though? Like, Hey, we found the lost city of Atlantis.

Yeah. I remember talking about, I brought that up when we talked about that episode and you said I was an idiot for Thinking like that and then now you're just stealing my lines. No, I you are an idiot. That's what is making fun of you. But uh When he impersonates canard he deeped me, you know, I had I wrote down in my notes Oh shit canards back and then he was like, no, it's just a good old chameleon. Yeah, I didn't. That's chameleon. He also did the, uh, he, uh, impersonated the, was it the garbage guy that my grandpappy used to say, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Oh my God. It's the only thing you can, you love that guy.

Yeah. I just love nonsensical sayings. I wish chameleon chameleon would have been a little more nonsensical. That would have been cool. But chameleon was great. One of the better characters I'd say, I mean, you gotta make it, you gotta make, you gotta make up your mind here. You gotta make up your mind. Is he a distraction and the worst character ever? Is he the best supporting character? What did I say? You're not even listening to what I'm saying, Brandon. What did I say? I said he was the one that he needed.

He didn't need the other guys. Maybe Sledgehammer or whatever his name was. What was his name? His name was Siege. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Anyways, alright. The winner for best supporting character is Phil Palmfeather. It's gotta be Phil, right? Dude, Phil's the best.

Phil was the absolute best throughout the entire show. Like even when they first met, like his introduction was classic. Oh yeah. They were the Anaheim fighting frogs, right? Yeah. Yeah. Finding drugs. Yeah.

He was like, I need a fucking hockey team for my hockey arena. Yeah. Um, he, the first episode is really where he shines cause you have him, him meeting the ducks and then him, um, telling the story to Clegg Horn. Oh, yeah. Fantastic. Yeah. Amazing.

Those first two episodes, Phil shines and shines through. And Jim Belushi has the voice is amazing too. And when he's making the wishes, like when he is just being a sleazy agent, the whole show, right? Like his, him and his promotions. And he's like trying to milk every cent out of the ducks. Like every promotional opportunity, every advertisement, like they are so sick of him schlepping them out for like insane ads. Like, Oh, it's so good.

No Phil. Yeah. It was so good that they had the, um, the episode where grin and nose dive ended up dressing like him and everyone laughed at him for suiting up. Yeah. Yeah. And, uh, he had him suit up. Big rock hard ducks that episode. You need to calm down, Brandon. Do you have anything else to say about Phil? He'll come up a couple more times in the, in the cake. He's here. Yeah.

We're not. No. All right. I suppose that's the next category. Then the next category is best one liner. And, uh, my honorable mentions, I have two, it's a, it's a tie and they're both Phil both Phil quotes cause Phil's the best. Yeah. Um, the one way the, I forget what episode it is, it's one of the earlier

ones. Um, and he's talking about all the ads and stuff and he's, I remember how he's going to sell the ducks and he, uh, he's like the fast food tie-ins alone would be worth a fortune. You said that when in the episode that that came up, you brought that up. Like it's such a good line. Do you remember, didn't they have a fast food toy though? Like, do you remember which thing was it Burger King?

I want to say it was Burger King. I think Burger King was the one who did like the cartoon, like the cartoon Tyrant toys. Yeah. Um, so yeah, I would imagine they definitely had a fast food toy. I imagine it was Burger King. I think it was, hold on. I'm going to look it up quick. Yeah. But so that, that one, and then the other one that I love is, uh, I think it might be even the same episode or the one right after it where, um, they like, they like take it. They need to. Oh, it was McDonald's. Oh my God, dude. And I forgot how cool they were.

They were, there were four of them and they were like, it was their upper body and then it was the puck and you would like pull it back and it would fly forward. Yeah. It's selling for a brand new one. A brand new Duke law orange is selling for five bucks on eBay. Dude, you getting it? So they got wild wing, a nose dive. That's Mallory, right? Mallory. Yeah. Duke law. Yeah.

Brand new still in the package. Dollars on eBay. Where's my boy grin, man? That's some fucking bullshit. Yeah, dude, I'm surprised. Well, they had to do one of the girls, I guess. We'll get Nose Dive out of there. No way Nose Dive in Wild Wing are two of the main characters. Nose Dive is a fucking.

All right. What's your other loser? What's your other one? Oh's your other, um, one? Oh, when they, uh, they steal his car, the ducks steal his car and he's like shouting at them as they drive away and he goes, Hey, hey, hey, careful. My insurance doesn't cover action sequences. That one is fantastic. I, I remember that and I remember laughing out loud when, when he said that. Another honorable mention author out there is,

I just was talking about how terrible Nose Dive is, but all of his fourth wall breaks. Oh. Some of them were pretty catchy. You're pretty cool. Mine, I guess I'm just a bad guy, but mine is the quote from Draganas cause it's a good bad, bad guy line. You know, one day I'll pick my teeth with the wishbones of those meddling mallards.

It was pretty solid. I feel like he would say it kind of like that, you know, with more of a British accent, right? But you know, you gotta work on that. You wouldn't send me loose, Sam. Next year. Yeah, my British accent is much better than Kelly's, I can tell you that. I can't do accents. I just never been able to do them.

One day I'll pick my teeth with the wishbones of those. That wasn't good. That was like getting German there. I don't know. Fuck it. That wasn't British at all. It's like, that was like getting German in there. I don't know. Fuck it. That wasn't British at all. It's like, that was like a butler voice. Oh, like Alfred. Oh yes, Master Bruce, one day I'll pick the teeth. Okay. All right.

And the winner of best one liner is grin. And he says pain is an illusion, an illusion that that really, really hurts. He says it like four times. Yep. And he's not wrong. That's why Pain is an illusion that hurts. Yeah, but that's why it's the winner, because he says it like four times. Yeah. Why is old grin? I'm pretty sure he probably got that from Taekwondo. I was trying to look up. I should have went back and watched the episode for this,

but I was trying to look up Taekack dough quotes to like be my favorite. And there was one that you said, and I can't remember what it was. You should have way to do your research. Brandon, it was probably, uh, you can't stop being a duck by being a duck. Yeah. Why don't you do your research, Brandon? All right. You ready for the next category?

We're lucky. I remember any of this. It does feel like a fever dream every time we talk about it. Like, did we watch that? All right. The next category is best team name. This is the best category. This is going back all the way to Game Changers season one when we had the state tournament and they had just the most amazing names. Do you remember some of them?

Um, supernova. Yes. Flying Panthers. Yeah. Flying Panthers. That was a good one. There's a lot of flying. Yeah.

Anyways. Um, but there was a lot of good team names in this show too. I couldn't remember a lot of them, but I remember. There were some great ones. Um, main cohogs we mentioned already. Um, my honorable mention though, Lumberjack or something anyways, keep going. Uh, I don't think this is lumberjack. I think you're, you're confusing. Polar bears was one of them. I forget what the location for polar bears was,

but, um, my honorable mention is the whole Bokin flamingos. That's amazing. You type that fucking Dutch. Does Hoboken have flamingos or are they lawn flamingos? Lawn flamingos. A hundred percent. Nice.

A hundred percent. That's, that's fantastic. Um, mine is, and we talked about it in an episode when we went down to the rabbit hole of crawfish boils, but it's the Louisiana crawfish, because it's a nod to one of my favorite seasons. So, yummy. And the winner of the best team name is

Minnesota Cheese Logs. What a fucking name. And the winner of the best team name is Minnesota cheese logs. What a fucking name. I don't think we ever see this team. Um, if I remember correctly, it's in the episode where they miss a hockey game and the announce then then it's like a new story and the new story is like, I can't believe these motherfuckers would miss a hockey game. How dare them? How disrespectful to everybody in the world that they would miss a hockey game in order to save the world. And then he mentions,

hopefully they'll be at the next game when they play the Minnesota cheese logs. If there's ever an expansion team in one of the minor leagues in Minnesota, they absolutely need to name it after this. The cheese logs. We might have to, we might have to buy a minor leagues in Minnesota. They absolutely need to name it after this. The cheese lawns. We might have to, we might have to buy a minor league hockey team. And just like a ECHL. Yeah. It's a bit cheekless guys just did that. Right.

Can't be that expensive. Right. They bought the, they're part owners of the, uh, the Greensboro team, the Gargoyles. Yeah. It can't be that, it can't be that expensive right we can probably buy her so the minnesota the minnesota cheese logs great name though um i think that's what you were getting lumberjacks mixed up with was logs cheese logs um let's go into the next category. Brandon, we can go quick in it too, because it's

a dumb one. Do you think that's like a string cheese? Is that a cheese log? I'd be a cheese. No, have you never had a cheese log at like Christmas and stuff where like, and you take a cracker and you like, like a cheese knife and you like spread it on a cracker. Those are called cheese logs. I didn't know that. Okay. But in some new everyday, you're really smart. Brandon. Um, I hate to be evil and never learn anything ever. The next category is best parents. This is an old one. Let's go quick. This is, this is an oldie, but a goodie. He just goes back. This is a reference to Brandon's parenting quarter,

which I have not done in years. What a shame. No one cares about your advice for my advice was perfect. It was terrible. I gave perfect parenting advice at every single turn. Literally everyone go check the tapes. Go check the tapes. Social media people would be like, wow, this non-parent sounds like a real dumb ass. Everybody go check the tapes.

I have a hundred percent success rate as a parent. 30, 32% approval rating at best. No, a hundred percent, a hundred percent success. A hundred percent approval, a hundred percent, a hundred percent success, a hundred percent approval, a hundred percent satisfaction. Who's your honorable mention brand? The ladies always tell me, who's your honorable mention? My, uh, honorable mention for, for best parent. I wanted to keep this, this category, specifically for Brandon's parenting corner.

There are, I don't believe any actual parents involved in this. Well, there's a few of the side characters of parents, but we only see them briefly. My honorable mention is Kennard, because he was the, he was the daddy of the team. Founder. Yep. Daddy Canard. I guess I'll give it to you. He raised raised all these these these rock hard ducks. Could have raised him better for sure. I mean, absolutely could have raised him. I mean, I I would have done a much better job.

Would have done worse than anyone. I would have crushed this, dude. I was born to be a duck. Dad. That's, I don't believe that. All right. Are you ready for mine? I'm waiting on you, dude. What is it? Come on. Um, they actually did have baby ducks at Menards when I was back in, um, or bomb guards, uh, they had baby ducks and bomb guards when I was back away. Oh, I live right by a bomb guards. Oh, really? Do they do the baby ducks? Maybe it must be a probably in certain agricultural

locations. Cause there's, I don't go, I don't go in there. Well, there's like, you know, not my, not my scene. A lot of, a lot of bad parents in there. Is that a thing? Like people, like it's known that like parents without a controlled children shop at bomb guards. Yeah. I didn't know that. All right. My honorable mention is nose dive because unlike you, Brandon, I actually watched the animated series. And I remembered that during the episode of bringing down baby nose

dive was imprinted upon by the alien that hatched from the egg, and he parented the shit out of that kid. He didn't even talk to that kid. He did, he loved it. And they resolved it at the end of the episode, and everyone was happy. That kid spent the end. That kid, no, he didn't even talk to that kid. No, Nosedive loved that kid like the true father that he was.

I don't think Nosedive is capable of love. Wow. That's really tough. Also, it's a parody of the 1938 comedy bringing up baby, you know, real topical reference. There's no way you fucking knew that. That's what Wikipedia told me. Okay, who's the one who's our who's our best parent? Hold on. Doing a terrible job at it.

I have my screen up. I accidentally hit minimize. Oh, and the winner of best up. I accidentally hit minimize. Oh my gosh. And the winner of best parent is Ty Quack Doe. Your boy, go ahead, Brandon, talk about him. Ty Quack Doe. Ty Quack Doe, yeah, he's truly a impactful figure.

He is the spiritual mentor to Gren, So, you know, if you think about the family tree, the Tai Kwak Do family tree is, uh, never ending, honestly. Yeah. I, um, yeah, I know it's like the, I think it's like the, I think it's like the, I think it's like the, I think it's like the,

I think it's like the, I think it's like the, I think it's like the, I think it's like the, I think it's like the, I think it's like the, I think it's like the, I think it's like the, I think it's like the, I think it's like the, I think it um, yeah, I know it's like the, the McVeigh,

whatever, not McVeigh, the coaching tree. Who's the coaching tree? Bella, the Belichick coaching tree. That was not successful. I can't remember what the good one is. The Shanahan, the Shanahan coaching tree. There we go. That one's a little bit better. It's the Bill Walsh coaching tree. If you want to go back farther. Yeah.

But yeah, no, the Belichick coaching tree, much like his dating life in shambles. Yes. Yeah, we don't need to get into that. Elder abuse, some people call it. That interview was wild. Elder abuse, Brandon. That's going to be you. My God, that's going to be you. What's going on TV? 24 year old Hottie and the ones just being like,

Brandon, shut the fuck up. This interview is over. I don't, I don't have enough money for that, for that to happen to me. I'm not lucky enough. When our tens of, when our tens of listeners become millions, it's over. If I, if I was in bill Belichick shoes though, I don't know if I would make a different choice. Honestly. Yeah. I mean, obviously, you know, it's, the juice is worth the squeeze for him. Otherwise he wouldn't be dealing with

that. You know? Yeah. Have you seen the, have you seen the photo she posts of him on them on Instagram? No. Where are you? Uh, her Instagram is a wild fucking wild look. There's a G you saw the mermaid one, right? That one was like a famous, like a big one that popped up. So they went to the beach. Oh, that's right. Yeah. She was in a mermaid thing on the beach and he's like, like, has like, I think he was like pretending he caught her or something. Yeah the beach. Oh, that's right. Yeah, she was in a mermaid thing on the beach. And he's like, has like, I think he was like pretending he caught her or something. Yeah.

That girl, a girl that does that is unhinged and wild. Yeah. Yeah. So I get where he's coming from. Yeah, cause she's to do anything. Yeah. She's going to come up with her own ideas, honestly. Yeah. Creative ones. Yeah. Like, like, wait, like some, some of you might not want to do. Yeah. And you know, typically,

you do them anywhere though. He's you do them anywhere, you know, on the football field, maybe not known for his creativity, but off he's open to it. Yeah. He's open to it. But anyways, all right. Jesus Christ. All right. Now let's go to the next category. The next category is best villain. And quick preface with this one, we kind of focus more on the side character villains, like the ones that dropped in versus the mainstays. So go ahead. All right, go ahead. Exactly.

Couldn't have said it better myself, Heath. My honorable mention is, he's a, again, side one, so he's very short-lived. He's only in one episode? Might be in two. I think he's just in one though. No, I think he can speak. He is the guy who develops the is the anti gravity.

Is that what it was like the floating device or whatever? Yeah. And he tried. He tries to sell it to the highest bidder. His name is Dr. Swindell. Yeah, because he's a swimmer brand. Well, people come people call him Dr. Swindle multiple times and he gets fucking pissed. Yeah.

Swindle. He's the ultimate Swindler. I'd say Swindler. Yeah. Dr. Swindle. Good. Um, mine was, I won't, I, mine was a two way tie.

We already kind of talked about Falcone, so I won't, I, mine was a two way tie. We already kind of talked about Falcone, so I won't mention him. Uh, but my two honorable mention, uh, first Dr. Droid, he came back again. He, um, he created the twins that Phil fell in love with. Um, Dr. Droid was a solid, you know, one, two punch for his two episodes. I thought, um, you know, it was a good return when he came back, it was just his head on the body.

And he did a great job taking back over. Um, and then I also loved Mondo man, my boy Mondo man. He was a nerd, just wanted some powers, Dragonis, you know, did what he does best. He duped him and, uh, and started fighting the ducks. And, but then the ducks brought him back down to earth. But Mondo man, you know, I also enjoyed when I freestyled the Mondo man song. Yeah. Yeah. That was a great time. Solid Mondo man. But the winner of best villain is daddy. Oh, cool. I mean, it's in the name.

It's he's cool as fuck. That's the best episode and right like the monster rally. That's the best episode and his whole objective was just to make other people cool. And I also did love that at the end, they were all insurance salesmen. Yeah. When they got fixed, once they took the cool away. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. That'll happen. I loved everything about daddy. Oh, cool. I loved him being a cool cat. I loved that they did monster trucks on top of it. Like there was just nothing to hate about daddy. Oh, cool.

He was one of the best. He was the best villain that they fought. Yeah. Oh, cool. He was one of the best. He was the best. Dylan, they'll do that. They fought. Yeah. Just a cool shit. Cool. We march on. The next category is best ongoing storyline. Storyline is a loose term here. Could be an ongoing bit, I would say.

Yeah, is my my honorable mention is Dragones. Storyline is a loose term here. It could be a ongoing bit. I would say. Yep is my honorable mention is Dragoness And not just you guys because a couple other people do it too, but the duck puns They're good. Yeah, the medley mallards. Yep. The was another one the The foul friends. Oh, yeah. Yeah Yeah, there's just every episode, there was at least one, uh, one duck pun. So I was got a good chuckle, good chuckle out of all brand and it's true.

Dragontis did crush the duck puns. I should have said that when I, when I said he was my favorite character, missed opportunity by me. That's what happens when we don't do our research. Yeah. Um, well, that's a, that's a great one. Mine is not really a storyline, but the theme song needs to be spoken about. Brandon, the theme song is the best part of this. It's I listened to it every time.

It was the best part of every episode. It is kicked it off in such 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 stay ducks rock dude. I did that from memory Brandon. I Just did that from memory That's how good that theme song is and that's how we started every episode if it wasn't for that theme song starting every episode I would have been over this. Yeah, and When you're watching on Disney Plus Every single time it says do you want to skip this intro? No, I never hit that button. Not one pass and shout out the singer is from Jefferson

starship. Remember? Yeah. What was his name? I had it pulled Mickey Thomas. Yeah. Mickey Thomas was the same. Um, and so yeah, shout out Mickey Thomas. My favorite part of every episode theme song crushed it. Boom. By I would say of. Of this genre of of and time period of cartoons and animated series and stuff like that. That's theme song for sure. Yeah, killer. That's true. Yeah. But the winner of best ongoing storyline is Phil.

And why Brandon? Because Phil called the ducks boobies the entire series. And I will- Not the entire series. There was only one episode. Brandon, I tracked nothing in this episode. Every single episode, he called them boobies at least twice. Really? I thought there was a, for one, there was one episode where he took a break.

I thought there were a few where it dropped off and he didn't, but he called them boobies constantly. And especially the ones like these last, like the last five we did constant, the ones like these last, like the last five we did constant, constant. Especially I'm trying to, I don't, I can't remember any, any of the other episodes, but I know in, um, the diehard one, he calls them boobies like 18 times. That's what I'm saying. Like it's constant. Yeah. I thought it was hilarious. It makes no sense. There's no reason why I Googled is like, is there a reason you would call ducks,

boobies and Google Gemini said, nah, nah, I don't know if I'd trust that. Or you think it's fake news, dude? I mean, they say, they say they're using AI to erase human language. Now, like they say that they're going to use AI to start erasing words. And then eventually integrity won't even be a word in the human conscience. I don't know what any of that means. Um, boobies is a bird. Do you think he just doesn't realize that they're ducks and he thinks they're boobies? They're blue footed boobies. Yeah. Blue footed boobies went extinct in like the 50s,

didn't they? There's blue footed boobies aren't the only boobies. There's lots of boobies. There's white boobies, there's brown boobies. Oh, there's so many boobies, dude. There's even boobies on calculators, am I right? All right, that's enough booby talk. Should we move on?

Yeah. All right. That's enough booby talk. Should we, should we move on? Yeah. All right. And the next category is best episode. Best episode I've studied multiple times, but I honorable mention is a rock hard ducks, duck hard, duck hard. God, die hard. It's a fantastic episode. It's amazing. I chiefly recommend it. I think it's a great episode. I think it's a great episode. I think it's a great episode. I think it's a great episode. I think it's a great episode.

I think it's a great episode. I think it's a great episode. I think it's a great episode. I think it's a great episode. I. It's a, it's a fantastic. It's my, yeah. It's a fantastic episode. It's amazing. I cheated. I did a three way time for my honorable mentions. That's like all the episodes. No, it's three way tie monster rally. We talked about it. Cool. Cats. Like that's obvious. Honorable mention. Daddy. Oh, cool. Puck fiction, which is the pulp fiction.

Not that was, I wasn't a big fan of that one. I like that one. And then mad quacks beyond hockey dome. The Mad Max Thunderdome one. I liked that episode. That was a good one. But the winner of best episode is one and two, the first face off.

And we have to combine one and two because it's a two part. Two part. Yep. It's the, it's what they use as the basis for the movie they released of the cartoon, which had face off one and two, first face off parts one and two and a duck card. Those were the three that were packaged together for the,

the mighty ducks animated movie. Interesting. Yeah. But yeah, they're the, um, like we, when we were talking about Phil earlier, the them, them running into Phil for the first time that his whole f*****g shtick and getting them to play hockey and, um, replacing the fighting frogs and then him retelling the story to Claycorn is, uh, fantastic. It's the, they're by far the best episodes. Yeah. Hands down. They have the most continuity, the best character development and setup.

Like it's just, they're actually good, solid episodes television. Yes. All right. Well, we shall keep this, uh, this train rolling on down these tracks. The next category is best couple. My honorable mention, um, along the bill bill check lines. I have Phil and the Trina twins as my best couple honorable mention Those are the the dr. Droid twins, correct? correct, I know Yeah, they broke his heart dude. They broke his heart. They The has it go they used him him, and then lose him. Yup.

I don't know if it works in that tense, but you know exactly what I'm saying. Yep. Poor Phil. Yeah. Um, Brandon, I am in the same light. I thought that Phil in the wish girls on the beach, um, from the, um, from when Asteroth returned the amulet, he is, um, you know, he's, he gets a yacht. He wishes for a yacht to take him out on. Like that's true love right there. Phil always having the double.

Double ladies. But the winner of best couple is Thrash and Mookie. This, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, for characters, we've talked about this so much. Irrelevant. They're the, they're in like two episodes or three times. No, they're in so many episodes. Really? Yeah. I guess the comic book store is their main hangout. Yeah. When it, yeah. There's so many episodes where like on the way to going to where they're going, they stopped by and they say hi to thrash Mookie. That's true. Yeah. Um, and, uh,

I don't know if we ever get full confirmation that they're actually a couple, but I think it's safe to assume, um, you, I mean, you, you wouldn't, you wouldn't run a comic store with a platonic friend, right? He's no, that's, that's a very intimate, that's a love activity is what that is. You got to have love of the game and your partner. Exactly. So yeah, thrash and Mookie. There's people, everyone knows there's nothing more intimate in a relationship

than opening up a comic book store together. Exactly. That's tail as old as time, you know, beauty and the beast combined, tap open up comic book store. Same thing. It's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, had like a real mansion, my God, I would have at least seven of those ladders. Oh dude. And I would always like, I would figure out a way to make it smell like rich mahogany, like a library should, you know, like you've got, and it's like, um, it smells like it smells like history and paper and

mahogany. I would just, I would, I think you would just have to Have a daily shipment of like a slate like a like a fresh wood fresh mahogany. Yeah. Yeah, just every day Just fresh mahogany delivered that would keep the smell going Well, I'm sure they probably make a spray yeah Chemicals RFK would not be about that. It's the duty loves chemicals. Anyways, he's doing the classic bait and switch where he takes away. He takes away the some chemicals and then he replaces them with better ones.

Not better. The bait and switch is never better. Yeah. Well, I mean, better and then it replaces them with better ones. Not better ones. The bait and switches never better. Yeah. Well, I mean better and then it'll kill you faster. No, it won't kill you faster. It'll be it'll be it'll be long and drawn out. Oh, it'll be painful and expensive. They don't want anything quick. That's true. The painful and expensive. Yeah. Oh, nice.

Can't wait. You can't wait to spend a long time dying. Whatever happened to that Kennedy Curtis? When is that kicking back in? Oh my God, Brandon. Jesus Christ. You can't talk like that. It's inappropriate. All right. So next category is best friendship. I don't even know if some of our listeners will get that.

I might be too young for the Kennedy Curtis. I'll go right over their head. Our tens of listeners are so tired of listening to you blasphemy. I don't even know if some of our listeners will get that. It might be too young for the Kennedy curse. I'll go right over their head. Our tens of listeners are so tired of listening to you blaspheme politicians. I don't know. Well, you say your best friendship. I'm running out of steam. I'm running out of steam Brandon.

This show is not good enough to talk about for this long. To keep, to keep the gravy train rolling. My best friendship is thrash, Mookie and Nosedive, dude. Oh, my gosh. The three amigos. I do. I what do you think? Like, do you think Mookie and Thrash are more DC or Marvel or independent? They're independent.

Do you think so? Independent. I've got a graded, the Savage Dragon first edition. I don't know what that means. One of the more popular independent comic books, kind of like a cross and Hulk. I don't do a Popular not a sheep he's

Um, you know shit about anything Brandon Who's your friendship let's go come on sorry my best friendship is wild wing and canard Mentorship friends forever. They had maybe maybe two conversations Friends forever. They had maybe, maybe two conversations. They were best friends before that. But the winner of best friendship is Grin and Nosedive. Nosedive's got a lot of friends. Nosedive is very friendly, but especially towards the end,

they were together. I feel like Nosedive and Grin always got paired up, like Shaggy and Scooby. They have a good y and yen thing going because grin is, is he's big, but he's quiet and the nose dive is small, but he's loud as fuck. Yep. And so, and then they, and then they sprinkle usually a plus one in there with them just to keep someone's got to keep an eye on. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

You can't leave them to their own devices. That's a, that's asking for trouble. Yeah, dude. That's Taylor Swift, right? She knew they were trouble when they walked in. All right. So the next category is pheasant of the team. My pheasant of the team. And I'm I said no no style as my honorable mention, just because he's the little brother, right? He's, he's, he does make a lot of mistakes. He's constantly making mistakes.

He's talking when he shouldn't talk, you know, he's, he's really, he's a classic little brother, you know, he's, he's, he doesn't mean to, but yeah, doesn't mean to, but he does. Exactly. My pheasant Brandon is captain Clay corn. Like how many times do the ducks need to say, how many times Brandon do the ducks need to save the world for you to get your

shit together? If you, maybe if he would have joined forces with them and help them out, it would have been more effective and more efficient. But instead he's constantly getting in their way when they're trying to save the world. Wow. Get your shit together. Wow. Real, uh, real anti anti-police stance you're taking there.

Do you defund them? Am I right? East? Shut up. I am. We're moving on. All right. And the winner of the, of the pheasant of the team is

Tanya or should I say, Todd? Yeah. As somebody with a deviated septum, the, the voice didn't really bother me. I had no problem with the voice. I just didn't understand what they were doing. She was the tech girl. No, I just would just with the voice. Yeah. Like I just didn't call. How about it's called representation. He's what was she representing people with, uh, the deviated septums.

Deviated septums weren't even if they were a thing, but like people didn't talk about it back then. Like she's a trailblazer. She's a Jackie Robinson of deviated. She's a fucking trailblazer. She's a Jackie Robinson of deviated. Do you think it's because she was just ripping rails with Stevie Nicks and like her and Stevie Nicks had the same maybe remember the episode where she,

that's like the mad scientist that has like the Island and she's like, like the Epstein she is, she's, she went to Epstein Island. She's probably, yeah. Yeah. Ton, Tonia's, Tonia's about my life. That was where they got hunted by like Dr. Uh, the Dr. Sneeze guy. Oh wait, no, I'm mixing them up. The mad scientist didn't have the island.

No. The island was her friend. Yes. Um, but she, yeah, but she kept bringing up the fucking island. Um, how, how her friend. Yes. Um, but she, yeah, but she kept bringing up the fucking island. Um, uh, how, how much she loved it there, how often she'd been there. Um, time is definitely about the, the line life for sure. A little, a little, uh, fresh power. Yeah.

She's gonna, she's gonna cross double cross them in the end because she's been doing too much coke and she's paranoid. Yeah. Yeah. Sorry, Tonya. Yeah. She was the president of the team. She was supposed to be like the tech person. Tech. Rarely worked out.

Rarely worked. She got, was it, Lucretia Decoy who fucking tied her up and put her on top of the Jumbotron? Yeah. She was there for the whole episode. Just fucking being a liability. Lucretia Decoy who fucking tied her up and put her on top of the Jumbotron. Yeah. She was there for the whole episode. Just fucking being a liability. All right. Two categories left.

Let's wrap this up, Brandon. The next category is biggest missed opportunity. My honorable mention is, and I think I brought it up when we did the episode is I need more Thai Quack Doe. I would love an entire backstory, an entire episode, maybe an entire, maybe we, when we reboot this, we do it, uh, just strictly like Thai Quack Doe is the main character. Maybe that's how we reboot this. That's season one.

Like Thai Quack Do Do creates the ducks. Or do we just give him, what if we just give him a more prominent role as like the sensei, as like the master splinter? I think we do, I think we, I think we do two things. We do- He can still have a leader, but also have a sensei. We do a prequel to this, which is the Thai clock, their backstory. I want to see him from when he was born to, uh, to now, and then, and then you do the reboot. Um, and he's like the mentor, you know, let us move could be the move.

Sounds like the move. Uh, my honorable mention, Brandon is any character development. If there, I feel like there's just no good character development. We never got to know anyone. Like there was no personality quirks. Like, you know, it just between the bad guys, between the main bad guys and the main characters. I just felt like there was just never, you know, any form of character development. And I just feel like we didn't, we never established a reason to identify and sympathize and empathize with these characters, you know? That's fair. That's right. This is my thought. And the winner of biggest missed opportunity is being good. Yeah. It's so could have been good. Yeah.

It's show could have been good. It could have been. It wasn't, but it could have been. Could have been, but they fucked it up. Yeah. Too, too much cocaine. Speaking of cocaine, too much cocaine in the writer's room. When they're waiting. Probably. But we've all been there before. Am I right? All right, Brandon. Well, last but not least,

the final category is the best flow. Best flow? This is another dumb game changers thing, even though that's a good category, the game changers is and will always be dumb. Emilio admitted it. Yeah. I mean, that's not, I mean, we did it for all the other movies.

I'm just saying. Just a game changer's thing. I mean, technically the cake is just a game changer's thing because we did it there first. I don't know what you're talking about, Brandon. Here's your best flow honorable bench. I did Duke the Orange for my best flow. Because he has the little, he's got the little front, Uh, I did Duke, the orange for my best flow.

Cause he has a little, he's got a little front little f*****g dangly poofy thing going, you know, and he's got the, he's got the salt and pepper. He's got the gray going. Ladies love that. What's the, the skunk, right? Like kind of like the skunk from a looney tunes. What was it? Like a Chester Lepio, Pepe Lepieux. Pepe Lepieux. But he's got the, uh, yeah, he's got the salt and pepper going and then

he's got, yeah, he's got the little streak. Uh, you were thinking skunk. I was thinking rogue. Excellent. A little, a little white streak. Yeah. Yeah. No, I like Pepe Lepieux better. I mean, he's got two white streaks. I need a skunk. So. It's French, though. Yeah. So isn't Duca Orange French, too? That's what I'm saying.

They're both French. Is he French? I don't know if he's French. I think it's from Puckworld. Do they have a France in Puckworld? I think so. Just follows the US or the earth mapping. All right.

My honorable mention also could have been one of the better bad guys. Lucretia DeCoy. Yeah. They got rid of her too quick. She was a great character. She was, yeah, she could have, she should have come back maybe two or three times. Right? Like I feel like she could have, could have been like a will they, won't they maybe between Lucretia and one of the male characters. Yeah.

Yeah. They could have turned her. She could have like, yeah. Well they could have done the whole woman, right? Like, yeah, she's kind of like good, bad, like an anti-hero. Yeah. She could have been helping on one episode, you know, double cross them and that, you know? Yeah. Yeah. Always selfish. And so like depending on her selfish needs,

she will either help or hurt. Exactly. I like it. Yeah. Yeah. They got rid of her too quick. She was just stayed up. We got to bring this back.

I hope Disney's listening. They've, they've brought back all the wrong things with terrible writers and they've got a just a gold mine in front of them with all the stuff we've been proposing. Exactly. We've been given them. I wrote a, uh, a season. Didn't we write a season three script for game changers? Yep. What have been fantastic. Yeah. We got to get, I get a, I got to send that to Emilio. Maybe we can get him on board.

Yeah. All right. But the winner of the best flow is Phil Palm feather. Bill has a lot going on. He's still is the best. He's got the front little like strand. He's got the ponytail going. You know what he reminded me of was, uh, he had a Paul Heyman vibes with the hair. Oh my God.

But like Paul Heyman had full hair, like, like nineties Paul Heyman when he still had hair. Yeah. Yeah. He did have a lot of Paul Heyman when he still had hair. Yeah. Yeah. He did have a lot of Paul Heyman vibes. You're right. Even like the big cell phone.

Yeah. Paul Heyman had that. And he CW. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Was it Paulie dangerously? Right?

That was, yeah. That was WCW. Yeah. Yeah. But the dangerous Alliance, what a good, dude, those factions. I started, I started a star Kate in 1991. I'd just been putting it on when I'm like cleaning and stuff. I love old nineties WCW.

It's so bad. It's so good. It's yeah. It's crazy. The booking is terrible. The writing is terrible. There's no cohesion because you can tell it's just a pissing car. You know what I mean?

Like now that you know what was going on, you watch it back. You're like, my God, you can tell that no one knew what the fuck to do with this. How do you how do you feel about the new Hayman guys? Love it. Love it. I've wanted Brown Breaker to turn into a monster heel like with someone like that for a minute. And I love that it's with Seth Rollins. I do feel like WrestleMania was a big let down.

Like I, it did not. Then the Monday night, like everything that happened on Monday night raw and like fucking Netflix. I knew this was going to happen because everything that happened on Monday night raw was better than what happened in the two nights at Russell. Yeah. Like they could have, if they would have had what happened there in her weave in the WrestleMania instead,

much, much better reviews and trends. Those are my thoughts, Brandon. And I don't like what that like, he'll see, now should be so much more like peacemaker, you know, like it just, yeah, I don't like, I don't like what they're doing with Heal Cena. It's not, it's not as good as it could be with Heal Cena. They're really dropping the ball. He's hilarious and super clever.

He should be thuganomics talking shit to everyone and just like the whole time. Anyways, it doesn't matter. Doesn't matter. Brandon, he's, he needs to go. He needed to be more assholes. Ish and less. Um, it was like he's, he's too, he's too blamey. You know, he's like, he's trying to play the victim and it's like,

yeah, just be an asshole. He's like a corporate victim. You should just be the worst. He's like, no, fuck it. You guys are dicks. I'm going to do what I have to do to get what I want. So go fuck yourselves. You suck, you suck and like keep making fun of the kids. That's fantastic. Just do, you know, do that more.

Definitely needs to make fun of kids. Yes. Anyways. Um, but yeah, so that's, that's it for the cakeys for the animated series, Brandon. Um, you know, I feel like we should have gotten something for making it like, I feel like Disney owes us some form of like, I don't know, like a certificate or, you know, a pin, uh, you know, like a wild, you know how like they do the pins at Disney? I don't know if they still do that, but when I went in 2008, they did. Um, but like, you know, like we should like wild wing pins, like we need, we deserve something from not only making it through that series, but breaking it down.

Yeah. All we need, uh, do they still do? Uh, I know they've given keys to like Disney world, Disneyland or Disney world in the past. Boom. Yeah, we go. Done. What's this? world, Disneyland or Disney world in the past. Boom. Yeah. There we go. Done. That's us. Or just, or let, just give us, give us and Emilio the creative reins for this franchise again.

That's what they could do. Solve a lot of problems. Imagine me, you, Amelia blue. Now me, you, me, you, a meal, a dog blue. No, me, you, me, you, a meal. Leo just fresh pal, fresh pal pencils going, dude, like it'd be like star Wars. That's there'd be prequels. There'd be sequels.

There'd be shows. There'd be animated series. Like my God, it would the ducks Ducks universe would know no bounds. Ducks rock! So so you
