It's not worth winning if you can't win! Welcome back everybody to the Cake Eaters podcast. My name is Brandon. I have my co-host Heath with me. Hello Brandon. Cakey's time baby. Yes, today we are tackling the second edition of the Golden Cakey's Awards show. If you remember back, the first one was for season one of Game Changers. But today we're talking about the movie that we just went through in five parts in depth all the way through. And that's D1, the original Mighty Ducks movie. Heath, the thing that started it all.

Just absolutely spectacular. And, you know, the nice thing about, you know, celebrating these golden cakeys is watching the movie back without deep diving into it and just running it back and free flowing and just experiencing the magic. Like when Bombay is skating on the ice and you can feel him becoming the Minnesota miracle man, you know, as, as that magic is sprinkled upon him, the fairy dust comes from the ice it's just it's great stuff brandon i just watched it this morning again yeah it's fantastic it's good

it's like i doing the watching it while attempting to deep dive and um you know track every little minuscule thing that happens you you you kind of you lose the magic of it you don't you don't see the forest for the trees um so do it doing a little a second watch through to to kind of go as a refresher for the golden kickies was nice because yeah you experience the the magic that you felt when you first watched it you know you're because you're not dissecting every because i mean there's there's a there's a lot of things wrong with these movies but they are great movies they're you know they're a fantastic underdog ragtag rise to the top movie um you know and and especially back in the 90s it had they these the back in the 90s these kind of movies had way more charm than they do now because now everything

especially these the disney ones everything's too polished and you know you're not going to get fucking somebody you know getting a dui and being forced but they're not going that dark you know there's it's not going to be as raw as it was that that is for sure but yeah i absolutely you're not gonna you're not getting any circumcision references in these these newer ones that's for sure these subtle jokes are much more light and cheeky not as on the nose that's for sure no one's yelling at bombay to go play with himself no definitely not you're not getting the oreo line yeah or or the the crack about the intelligent body with the when he was talking like james yeah how many core reporters he slept with yeah like just out of this world kind of stuff like that whole first part would be entirely different

that's why i'm glad they went tv show instead of this But anyways, we've got golden cakeys We get to look back, we get to celebrate We get to talk about our favorite moments Our favorite characters I'm sure some of the listeners out there Will already have guesses as to who Will be choosing each one Based upon our endless

And delightful conversations Leading up to this episode Absolutely, and if you Had followed along with the previous golden cakeys endless and delightful conversations leading up to this episode. Absolutely. And if you had followed along with the previous Golden Cakeys for Game Changers Season 1, you remember we had 16 categories, and then we did like a – what's the phrase? I'm trying to think for the yearbook. Superlatives, right? Superlatives.

You got it. So one of the categories that we did for golden or that we did for the first edition was best episode that obviously not going to apply for this one so we're only rocking 15 categories yep um the same exact category the same 15 categories minus episode um from the edition one of the golden cakeys and then the same superlatives. I believe. I don't think those changed. Yeah. I think we just, I just added a couple at the end. Just a couple extra special bonus round ones that I picked up on the internet. Perfect. Yeah.

And so for the categories, the way this is going to work for the 15 categories, we're going to, me and Heath will each give our honorable mention. And then we'll talk about the official winner of the Golden Kiki Award. And then for the superlatives, those are going to be just me and Heath kind of doing rapid fire who we think would fit each one. Back and forth. Obviously, my favorite returning category of the superlatives, who survives the Hunger Games? Listen to those books back on audible man they're great great stuff the books the books were real solid i got sucked into those books

real hard oh yeah i'm a sucker for a well-read audiobook and they do a great job yeah is it anybody fancy that that narrates it? You know it is and I'm totally blanking on her name at the moment but it is and she is delightful. It's not Jennifer Lawrence is it? It's

Tatiana Melanie Medley something like that. Tatiana Medley I don't think I know who that is. Let me jump in the Google machine real quick. Give me, give me a quick 30. All right. So I was way off.

It's Tatiana Maslany. How'd you get Medley at a Maslany? I, it was, I would just hold up. Cause I was listening, listening to it back. Like as, as we speak right now, you know, and I pulled up and it just had like the little read by narrated by dot. And so I just glanced at that real quick to for sake of time and um just totally botched it but she's uh best known for orphan black oh okay i know who you're talking to the

lead actress from orphan black right yes yes you got it you got it okay i know who you're talking about now interesting she wasn't she wasn't in those movies was she no she was not but she absolutely just crushes the books okay you got it just does a great job narrating really brings catness to life anyways all right so i got us a little sidetracked let's let's bring it back we're coming back we're i'm reigning us in you know i'm as as we drive the carriage down the road i'm reigning us in right now brand Brandon. And so here we go. Let's go ahead and dive in. What's our first category, Heath? Ladies and gentlemen,

the first category of the Golden Cakeys is the best Easter egg. So this one was a little tricky just because it's the first movie. So obviously there's not a great deal of Easter eggs, especially alluding to other parts of the series. So for mine, what i went with was all of the because they shot this movie uh again speaking to like how the charm that these 90 movies 90s movies have rather than what would happen today because what they do today is they shoot everything on a lot everything staged they're not actually in a city they recreate the city yes but for this movie they shot everything on

location in the winter in minnesota in minneapolis which must have just been a production nightmare all the fucking snow but because of that you get the minnesota landmarks you know you get mickey's diner which is still there today. Love that. You get not the Mall of America. I think we talked about the rollerblading scene. Yeah. We mentioned this. I mentioned that it was the Mall of America.

I've been corrected. It's not the Mall of America. It's another mall, but that's in Minneapolis. Shout out to the individual that gave us that correct information, but you know, it was also very fun to rant about the mall of America in the moment. Absolutely. Cause the mall of America is a,

is a godless place. But, but yeah, so you get all the Minnesota landmarks, you get Mickey's diners, you get the, the, the ice sculpture festival is a legit festival that they do in,

in Minneapolis every year. I think they still do it. But you get all the Minnesota landmarks. So in theory, if you wanted to, if you wanted to plan a trip to Minneapolis, you could do a Mighty Ducks tour and you could hit all of these places and see where they filmed everything. Jeez, Brandon, do not tempt me with a on a mighty ducks tour. Imagine trying to sell that to your significant other. I got a dope ass vacation lined up for us. Picture this,

the middle of January, Minneapolis, Minnesota, 16 feet of snow on the ground, a nice, a nice chill in the air. air you know what could be better a minus 20 wind chill in the air beautiful twin cities in the middle of winter i don't think you're i don't think you're selling a lot of people on that but no that is that is like you said

using the minnesota landmarks great great job disney yeah exactly all right for mine and this was something that you turned me on to because averman is just a home run character in this show throughout but he imitates the copy guy portrayed by rob schneider on SNL. So listeners, go check out the copy guy. But that's where the Averman talking like this. Brandon just doing the Cake Eaters podcast with the Brendan Meister, Cake-a-Reno. And I can't believe you didn't realize that. Had you ever seen that skit before, the copy guy skit before?

I don't know may potentially i feel like i didn't really get into snl until it was like the will ferrell years like his like kind of like beginning when did he was my friends and i did he did will ferrell overlap with uh adam stanler at all or was that a little bit like i was i was probably it was probably like 97 or 98 when i was like really into yeah i think i think this would have been before because i think sandler and schneider and all them they were like early 90s if i'm not mistaken i could be totally wrong my snl history is not anything good so don't take anything what i'm saying right now it's gospel but i want to say they were like early 90s um yeah and so yeah you probably would have just missed that but yeah that's it's it's averman's character is an exact cop like for pun intended an exact copy of the

copy guy yeah it's it's excellent it everything about it is. I'm also not super big on my SNL knowledge. The only thing I know is that I love the Jimmy Fallon and Justin Timberlake bits. Everything they do is cool. I'm not a big Jimmy. I'm not a big Fallon guy. That makes sense. I feel like his humor would not necessarily land with Hugh Brandon. I get his humor. He's a fairly funny guy i just i don't i don't care for him because he is one of the reasons that like lip-syncing has had a resurgence in the last like 10 years and i like lip-syncing competitions are just the bane of my existence i don't i you know

the last thing i want to see is celebrities lip sync songs that who who's watching that who's that for listen brand and then now now now you got masked singer where it's like some fucking stupid celebrity nobody's heard of for 20 years in a mask singing a song what is that about Brandon Brandon Brandon as someone who came in second place in the wayne county lip sync competition uh circa fourth grade so i'm trying to think how old i was what's what song did you did you what song did you pretend to sing oh me and the boys did whoop there it is okay tank team party people oh my god i should have there it is i should have known you were a lip thinker i should have known oh man brandon it's just you know we we me and me and ryan we we had the vocals going, and then we had two folks in the back as backup dancers.

It was most excellent. It was great. We crushed it. There was just a lot of bias in Wayne, Nebraska at that time. They couldn't handle our funky, fresh beats. I would imagine early 90s, Wayne county nebraska not a lot of people were probably familiar with tag team and the ones that the ones that were familiar with tag team probably did not care for tag team i'll be honest with you brandon we lost and i remember

this because i felt it was unjust but we lost to an alvin and the chipmunks rendition of a country song. There's just bias, just rift with bias. The corruption. Alvin and the Chipmunks country song makes perfect sense for Wayne County, Wayne America. So, anyways. Couldn't shoot it

more straight down the middle than that. Alvin and the Chipmunks in a country song. Just boom, right down the middle. Middle America. We all wore Jordan Bulls jerseys. I think I have a picture. I'll have to track down the picture. I'm pretty sure I have one on the phone of this exact competition.

Okay. All right. Anyways. Anyways. All right. Back on Target. I'm going to give you the winner, Brandon. And the winner of the Golden Cakey's award for best Easter egg is the Bombay Gordie Howe connection.

Brandon, talk to us about this connection. Yes. So they mentioned. Wait, actually, do they mention Gordie Howe? I think they do once or twice in the movie, right? Maybe. I can't remember off the top of my head. I don't know. But the Gordon Bombay Gordie Howe connection

is right. You have the number. They're both wearing number nine, which Banks also wears while he's on the Hawks. He switches to 99 when he becomes a duck. So you got number nine gordon bombay now i would imagine because his dad calls him gordy yeah that's where i kind of put it together when

he kept calling him gordy yes i think and that's i think that they don't i don't think they actually mentioned gordy how in the movie but he his dad does call him gordy um so you have the number he's probably named gordon after gordy how his dad does call him Gordie. So you have the number. He's probably named Gordon after Gordie Howe. His dad calls him Gordie. Yeah, and Gordie Howe, one of the greatest hockey players to ever live. Shout out Gordie Howe. Yeah, it's fun.

It's fun. But like you said, it's a nice little nod to hockey. To legend. There's your winner. Next next category the next category is best character and so my so my thinking for this he can correct me um if you didn't if you want to think this way my my thinking for this because we have best character and best supporting character yeah for best character i'm thinking like the core ducks and bombay right those are the those are the main

characters and then supporting characters would be everybody else yeah so for my best character honorable mention i went with charlie you know charlie conway makes the captain the heart of the team well not captain yet they didn't make him captain yet but the heart of the team. Well, not captain yet. They didn't make him captain yet. But the heart of the team, the heart and soul of the movie, wingman Charlie, trying to get his mom laid. And think about the acting chops, remember? In that diner scene?

Oh, man. Tugged on the heartstrings. You can definitely see the blossoming of Joshua Jackson, the guy who plays charlie conway of his acting skills even even this early when he's 11 or 12 years old however old he was um and he wasn't even the first choice he was uh i believe he was like third choice because i know they originally wanted leo dicaprio in it wow um he turned it yeah it's a different movie and then jake gyllenhaal i think actually

was very like almost signed up for it like i think he like backed away at the last minute um which that's that's another different movie but i i i would i with hindsight being what it is i would i would pick joshua jackson um i wouldn't switch him but I would be intrigued by a Jake Gyllenhaal rendition I would love it if because there's a couple other people that they considered for Bombay

before they got to Emilio one of which was his brother Charlie Sheen I would love if and I I'm challenging which was his brother, Charlie Sheen, I would love if... I'm challenging Disney to finance this. I want one or two scene recreation at this moment in time, at their current ages,

where Charlie Sheen and Jake Gyllenhaal recreate one of the scenes between Bombay and Charlie Conway. The tickle fight? Is that what you're going for? Oh, no. That would be good, though. I wasn't thinking the tickle fight, but that's a good scene. That's one of the scenes. That would be one of the good ones to go for. Oh, man.

But yeah, you could, Josh. That or the one where they're cooking dinner and Charlie's talking about the hockey players that wear the same underwear. That's a good one we could do. Absolutely. Just to see Jake really crush that. So for my winner of best character, I've talked about it a thousand times. It was also the winner for the best Easter egg, Averman. Averman delivers a wonderful comedic performance. He's always throwing out some fun barbs. For some reason, Connie always takes offense and yells at him. Remember when she

calls him, like, Averman cracks a joke and she's like, God, Averman, you're such a jerk. Yeah. Connie is always there to reel him in. The velvet hammer has to keep him in line. Exactly. That's key for all the jokesters, you know, the jokester characters and even the real life jokesters out there,

you need somebody that, that reels you in when you need it, you know? Yeah. Oh man. You can, you're looking at ground zero right here, Brandon of someone who needs a consistent hand of reeling them in.

Mama D started it off. You know, went out venturing on my own. It didn't happen as much. Got a little, got a little wild out there, Brandon, but it off, you know, went out venturing on my own. It didn't happen as much. Got a little wild out there, Brandon. But it's, you know. That was my issue. For a brief moment in my life, I've had people reel me in.

I've had that voice being like, maybe don't do that, Brandon. Maybe that's not what you should be doing. But again, very brief moments in my life. Outside of that, it's been the Wild West over here. And that explains a lot about my situation. Yeah. Nice. Some real hope for the kids out there.

But Averman is my winner for, for best character. And, and, you know, Banks is a very close runner up to Averman. Cause man, you know,

he just wasn't featured as much. Right. Until. Yes. Banks doesn't really get. Banks doesn't really blossom as a character. I don't think until towards the end of this. When he, when him and Jesse of this movie, when he,

when him and Jesse are kind of, you know, having their tension and then their, their resolution. And then in two and three, I think is when you, when you get a night, when you finally get full character development on things.

Yeah. I agree. I agree. All right. Well, let's get into our winner, Brandon, the winner of the golden cakeys for best character is gordon bombay i think

this goes you know without saying main character yeah yeah amelio one of the the greatest actors i will say amelio is one of the greatest actors of all time i fucking love amio. It's fantastic. No matter what he does with his life, I will always do the SNL bit from night at the Roxbury with his name. Like no matter what I hear, Emilio, Mighty Ducks guys, swear to God, I was there,

you know, and that's just, that's great. You know, it's to live rent free in my mind like that until the end of time. That's, that's a beautiful thing until the end of time. That's, that's a beautiful thing. Oh yeah.

Yeah. It's he will forever and always be Gordon Bombay. Yeah. Main character energy as the youths would say today, Brandon. Yeah. Okay. That's a thing.

Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Jimmy Fallon. Whatever. Hey, listen,

don't, don't hate on how fucking cool I am, but let's next category here. We won't go into all Michael's hip street cred. The next category of the Golden Cakey's Awards Best Supporting

Character. For this one, I went with the wise sage old spirit guide Hans. you know he's there much as you know you talked about connie reeling in averman hans is that that emotional support reeler in for bombay you know um he's he's the father figure that he he always wanted um just didn't realize it until later on in life you know absolutely and hans gave bombay the i'm not mad i'm just disappointed talk right in the nick of

time after he was yelling at the kids but when they lost what's what's it what is what's the line he says he was like oh i didn't want to say anything i didn't want to i didn't want to ruin your ruin the moment with the kids i think is what he says right yeah yeah i didn't want to say anything i didn't want to i didn't want to ruin your ruin the moment with the kids i think that's what he says right yeah yeah i didn't want to ruin the moment he didn't want to kill the vibes yeah of bombay screaming at little kids well you know fucking listen he won't get yelled at yeah yeah i'm not mad i'm not i'm not mad. I'm just disappointed. He gave the, the, the fantastic life advice that everybody I think could use, which is wear thick socks. Yep. You know, gotta, gotta put, if your skates are too big, Keith, just wear some thick socks, you know,

adapt, adapt. Change management employers will just fall head over heels. If you can give them a little sprinkle of that change management and the interview process like just good old good old-fashioned problem solving yeah you heard it here first kids all right so um for mine i went with the the bad guy tandem of larson and mcgill because they have the great the henchmen the goons oh yeah absolutely I mean you know Larson has or no I'm sorry it's McGill has my favorite line of like where he's like what did you do my job like I just I absolutely love it. He is the Riley disciple, but the two of them together, you've got the big guy, you've got the small guy.

They are a team. You know they're best friends. You know they're still best friends to this day. And shout out to Larson McGill. I hope that they have evolved themselves from being bullies. I do hope that. I would love a, I would love a little cameo in, in game changers. I would love, cause they, in season one, they did the cameos of all,

not all of them, but a good chunk of the original ducks. Yeah. I would love for season two, they bring in some bad guys, you know, bring in Larson and McGill uh maybe maybe gunner stall you know listen wolf the dentist stanson comes in it's like you're going down bombay dude i would fucking interrupt this conference if wolf if wolf showed up that would be that'd be hands down the greatest the greatest moment of that season that'd be that's okay we gotta i know they're they're i know they're they're starting they're in the process right now of writing season two so if hopefully they're listening to this bring get wolf the dentist on

on season two guys listen he relocates to minnesota you know retires just wants to you know kind of live in peace, you know, doesn't want any more autographs as he walks through the streets of Iceland. He comes, he settles, and all of a sudden his kids need a coach. The Hawks need a coach. And he brings the Hawks back to be the rivals of the Ducks with the help of our favorite Coach T. So, anyways, all right.

Disney, give us a call. Reach out to the pod. You have our information. You have everything. You have everyone's information. Let us know. Who's the winner of supporting character? And the winner of the Golden Cakey's Award for Best Supporting Character is Coach Riley.

Obviously. Again, all right, all right, all right. Along with the obvious choice of Bombay's best character. You got to go with the antagonist, you know? Yeah, I'm just popping. Popping collars, the collarbone. And the, yeah, the all right, all right, all right, which the more I think about it, the more I am absolutely convinced that Matthew McConaughey got the inspiration for that from this movie, from Coach Riley. Coach Riley really crushes it.

I love that he has a collar pop for almost every motion. He has a happy one, a celebratory one, a sarcastic one. He does the okays. He does the okays. He does the finger guns at some point. He's got the hand gestures down, dude. Yeah, he's got the old Coach Letterman jacket going on. Oh, yeah. He sleeps and breathes swag.

Yeah. Coach Riley, the swaggiest. The swaggiest. I love it. Yeah. And then just the's the the hardcore like midwestern passive aggressiveness you gotta love it it's just so fucking perfect he is the epitome of all things right like bad guy coach hits the minnesota side of it. It's just love, love some coach Riley. It's a shame what they did to the Hawks in the game changers.

Just a shame. Yes. That's my number one suggestion for season two is you got to bring the Hawks back and you got to put them back in black and blue. Oh, for the love of Pete, that orange fucking idiots. Jeez Louise.

This don't do it. Yeah. Before, before I start screaming at people, let's go to the next one. The next Golden Cakey's award category is Best One-Liner. And we get piggybacking off of Coach Riley. My honorable mention is going to be from the intro of our dear podcast here. It's not worth winning.

If you can't win big, you know what? Yeah. Great words to live by. I got to get that. Get that tattooed on over your chest, right above your heart. Just absolutely beautiful,

inspiring words. Like if you're, if you're not going to step on on their throat why are you even playing exactly run it up run it up run it up like five five seconds into the the first game against the ducks right after the first goal bank scores that's that's his first thought to scream at the kids run it up yeah he's like i just want to fucking murder bombay right now right right after i talk shit about like oh look at that banner yeah they take that one down yeah shame your dad died yeah sucks look at this weird yellow for some

reason banner yeah so there you go that's. That's a great one. For mine, I'm going with the, where Bombay was just bold as brass and the final nail in his coffin with the police officer where the cop goes after Bombay says

oh, it was a whittle noisy. And the cop's like, what'll it be? Blood, breath, or urine? And Bombay looks at him and he goes, no thanks, I'm full. That made me laugh for a really long time. The best part is he laughed at it

himself. He laughed at his own joke. And the cop is not amused at all. He's like, alright, it's time to go downtown. Yeah. So I just thought that was a great interaction. Fantastic. That whole DUI scene is gold. From the license plate to him

driving the fucking, is it a Corvette? Through the icy streets of Minneapolis. Exactly. I always picture it as like an IROC. You remember those? Oh, yeah, dude. So there's that. All right.

So the winner of the Golden Cakeys Award for Best One-Liner is Cake Eater at the end of the game. And Brandon, do you want to explain this one? Because I mean, obviously the best one liner is going to be the one that we named the podcast off after the cake eater, the cake eaters. Yeah. And Jesse says cake eaters probably 100 times in this movie, give or take a few. Great drinking game potential. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Fantastic. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Fantastic. But specifically the one that touches everybody's hearts, brings a tear to your eye. It's at the end of the game. I'm not thinking of the game before the end of the game. Right after McGill does his job, puts Banks on a stretcher. And Jesse finally, you know, over him and Banks bond over this

sudden trauma that has befallen Banks. Yeah. He realizes Banks isn't that bad. So he goes up to him and he goes, does he do like a fist bump? What do they do? They do like a little fist bump, right? Yeah. Well, because Banks is all strapped in and stuff.

So he kind of like gives him a little gentle pat. Yeah. Like a hey, bud. You know. And him calls him a cake eater but this time yeah this time in in an enduring way yeah yeah it was a it was a friendship cake eater because I mean by definition of the of the the phrase Banks is a cake eater. He's 100% a cake eater. Yeah. Wealthier side of town. Yep. But yeah, you get the

enduring one. They bond. They become friends. Nice little... It's a beautiful moment. Healing, crossing bridges. Healing, building bridges, crossing them. I'm messing up this phrase. What do you do?

Well, I mean, you've messed it up to the point that i don't even know where to save you at and instead i'm just gonna let those bus tires just drive right over you just like i i had i had one i had like a phrase in my mind and then i started saying it completely wrong and then i completely forgot what the phrase i was trying to say was and so it's over it's gone so yeah well uh so after that spectacular ending of that category let's move on to the next one brandon the golden cakeys category of best goal so for for mine i know back it was part i want to say it's part four that we went over this D1-1. And I complained about this goal for quite a long time, and I was very passionate about it because it's a nonsense, implausible goal. That being said, it's kind of badass. It's the one where it's the playoff game against the Cardinals, and Fulton takes his slap shot from – is this the one from half court?

No. The one from half court is the one that rips the neck. That's the Herculean. Yeah, yeah. So this is the other one where he – is it the Cardinals? Now I'm forgetting if it was – I think it's the Cardinals. But anyway, it's a slap shot from Fulton in the playoffs, and it hits the goalie in the chest and knocks him not just down,

but through the goal and then onto the ground. Right on through. It's a great goal. And, you know, Fulton has some great goals. Yes, he has just ridiculous goals. From ripping the net, and then this one where he knocks the goalie back into the net. You got to think of the force it would require to do that coming from a 12-year-old. No matter how big the fucking 12-year-old is, it's just ridiculous.

Yeah, and that 12-year-old would be like yoked you know what i mean like steroid crushing 12 year old veins bursting from the biceps it would it i don't even just even then it wouldn't happen hulk hogan 24 inch python's brother could rip that one. I don't know if he, well, I, okay. If it was Hulk Hogan against a 12 year old goalie, it might knock him down. Maybe.

Okay. But I, that's, that's if you could get Hulk Hogan to shoot a hockey puck on target. I don't think that would happen. I think Hulk Hogan would not be able to shoot a, shoot a hockey puck. Listen here,

brother, especially, especially if we're talking nowadays, like current age Hulk Hogan, there's no way he's even hitting the puck, let alone getting enough force behind it to knock down a goalie. You're right, but

1990... Especially if he's on ice skates. 1990, I'm Hulk Hogan. I would love to see Hulk Hogan ice skate. That's what I want to see. That's another scene for Game Changers Season 2, is get Hulk Hogan on ice skates. Listen, we will end this here, but 1990, Hulk Hogan in his prime

with a mat, 24-inch pythons. He said his prayer. He ate his vitamins. He's got the Hulkamaniacs behind him he could definitely rip through that kid might leave a hole in the kid instead of the net jesus that's that's that's homicide heath yeah all right so we're gonna move on to mine after that insanity. You heard it here first, guys. Hulk Hogan murdered a 12-year-old.

Just take that to the bank, brother. My goal is probably the most famous Mighty Ducks goal, the flying V. You know, the they do it twice. We get two of them, right? We get the establishment of the flying V and then we get a we run it back in the playoffs. And they just go. The one that I love is the playoff one because they just carve up through those Hawks. And Jesse ties the game, I believe, with that goal, you know, really sets the tone that line B, but also, you know, that first one, that first one is just a thing of beauty. It's hard to choose between the two, but the flying V that's flying V,

you know, you get Bombay yelling on the bench, you get Jesse calling for it behind the goal.'s it's a great it's a great goal yep i mean yeah you can't go can't go wrong with the flying v it is uh it's it's definitely uh it's a goal for sure it's definitely not the most feasible again with all the fulton's goals it's not the most feasible thing in the world but it makes for good it makes for a good movie it makes for a good movie. Yeah, absolutely. Alright. And now, the winner of the Golden Cakeys Award for Best Goal is the

Triple Deek. The main reason I decided on the Triple Deek, I don't know if this is your thinking as well, is the feasibility of it. The flying V. It's a real hockey move. Yes, it's not some if this is you're thinking as well is the feasibility of it like the flying yeah flying real hockey move yes it's it's not some non-nonsense fucking you know formation or

what the game changers blindfold hockey it's none of that fucking nonsense um yeah it could it's an actual hockey goal um and and you know charlie learning from the best gordon bombay the triple deke although i i believe i believe we talked about this in the the the breakdown of that of that part of the movie he he does like six six or seven dekes well they needed some extra time to build the tension that's your skate down and they can't just skate with it yeah and he can't just keep it like he's skating down to build the tension. That's true. Yeah. And he can't just keep it like he's skating down to build the tension. He's just holding it on the right side before he dekes, you know,

just come on. It's building the drama. Brandon, do you know about writing a television show? Touche. Touche. Yeah. Triple deke, best goal winner,

championship winner. Yeah. Great shoot best goal winner. Championship winner. Yeah. Great shootout. A lot of tension. It's fantastic. You know, Josh Jackson just sealed his performance with an exclamation point. And Bombay Bombay finally becomes a champion.

Yeah. We got to love it all the way around. All right. The next category for the golden cake Cakeys is the best team name. Okay. And so my honorable mention, this was tough because it's. This can be quick because they kind of suck. They're just basics.

Yeah. It's nothing like Game Changers where they just pulled out all the fucking stops for the team names. There's no Viper Freeze. There's no Maroon Marauders. there's no storm and bears yeah nova stars these are all very run-of-the-mill nonsense stuff so i just went with huskies it was between it was between huskies and ducks for me i was thinking you know huskies ducks whatever it was but uh i ended up going with huskies yeah and you know you think yeah i

wanted to give the ducks a break because that's a pretty obvious choice and initially i was thinking maybe cardinals but now i think i'm gonna lock in with the flames brandon because you know and fuego they are on fire they have the worst uniforms though and that's kind of why that's kind of why i wanted to i wanted to do that because their uniforms are trash we could and like they didn't need to be there's a lot of great things you could do no change it up to some black they could go like suns kind of colors like a mixture of the suns and then like the actual flames you know and then they just picked all the wrong colors because they picked they they had orange and red and or no it was yellow is yellow

and orange is what it was because the the base was like a like a it's like puke yellow yeah i was like a like a faded like close it was a yellow that was closer to orange than it was to yellow kind of look and then you had like bright orange on top of that there just wasn't enough contrast you know you needed you need like a like with the suns or with the the flames you need a bright like red or bright purple contrasted with the black or you know you just need more contrast for for something as bright and you know a luminescent as flames and fire you know you don't want A faded yellow as your main color You know But we won't spend too much time just because The one thing the game changers did right

Was those opposing team names Oh they were the fucking best dude On point So I'm going to get to the winner The winner of the golden cakeys Award for the best team name Is the Hawks. Obviously.

Yeah, Hawks. A couple Hawks apologists over here. Yeah. You know, we can't. I will not apologize for it. Yeah. Hawks till I die, baby. We don't condone the behavior of McGill when he did his job.

But outside of that, you know. I mean, I don't necessarily condone it, but I don't condemn it. Putting a bounty gate. Brandon was fine with it. You got to do what you got to do. I'm all... Run it up. Exactly. It's not worth winning if you can't win big, Keith.

Come on. All right. Disney. Next season of Game Changers. Bring the Hawks back. Change their colors back. Do it right. I would love, now that you mentioned it, a Hawks team led by Wolf the Dentist Stanson is

the greatest thing ever. Yeah, I know. I'm actually shocked after we put out our Game Changers podcast that I haven't heard back from Disney yet, but whatever. I know. If they're not going to let us in for season two, they need to

give us our own spinoff where we have Wolf the Dentist Stanson leading the Hawks and then Winnie the Sage Old Sage Old Descendant of Hans and Jans. That's what we need. Okay. It could be two different shows if we want or one show together. I don't know.

We'll figure it out. Like the Dawson's Creek of Mighty Ducks. We need to spin it off. You gotta treat the Mighty Ducks like Star Wars. We need spin-off after spin-off. We gotta expand the universe here, Beth. We can definitely get in on some

origin stories, and then we can get in like some banks afterwards a coach riley origin movie dude listen what made him the way he was and a an mc gaming origin story what was it really like driving bus for grand funk rail Lewis. I think, I think for that, I think for that we would do, I think that would best be served,

not necessarily as like a origin movie, but as like a kind of like what they did with the, with the 30 for 30 for the fine V like a, like a mock, like a mockumentary, like a short documentary of MC Ganey as the bus driver for Great Black Road Road. Life as a driver.

Oh, man. And then they play, Life is a highway. That would be that. We could even de-age MC Ganey with some CGI and get him looking real young. All right. All right. Back on track.

The next category for the Golden Kikis Awards, Best Parent. So for my honorable mention, because unlike Game Changers, Game Changers, we got a look at pretty much all the parents. Yeah. Lots of content for Brandon's parenting corner. Yes. This one, the original movie not so much you get casey yeah charlie's mom you get mr hall jesse and terry's dad and then uh you get brief glimpses of of gordon's dad other than that not a whole lot of parents so for my

honorable mention i'm gonna go a little left field, and I'm going to pick Hans. But later Hans. Hans, as of this movie, when he finally becomes the father figure, because he really dropped the ball when Gordon was a kid. He even mentions, he's like, I saw what Coach Riley did to you. I saw all the trouble you were going through as a kid Bombay But I didn't do anything about it Grab some popcorn

And sat back and watched Well it wasn't too much of a train wreck He did become a lawyer That's fair But then 20 years later Hans is finally like okay I guess Gotta roll up my sleeves I guess I'll fucking do it now. Yeah.

And boy, does he do it. He does it. Boy, howdy. So for mine, I'm going to shout out Casey Conway. She has a couple really big highlights. first and foremost she saved these youths from a icy death when she stopped them from continuing to drive around on the ice on the limo yeah when gordon was fucking around with the ice universe geez like you know mr zen master with the ice universe not with my kid bud that fucking line. Ice universe.

But then she also tells him to cut the shit when he tries to get into that palace and get a room in her imaginary secret fairy tale palace. And she cut him out. It's like, hey, there's a kid at home. Like, you can break my heart, but you can't break Charlie's heart. Cause he loves you, man. You are coach and part-time papa. She does a,

an immaculate job as a single mother, navigating the dating world of setting those boundaries. Yeah. Magnificent. Yeah. Take notes, take notes, a plus grade from Brandon's parenting.

Absolutely. Not very often. Seven stars. Seven stars. Seven out of seven. It's not very often you can get that kind of an A plus grade. So shout out to Casey. Casey got mine. And the

winner of the Golden Cakey's Award for Best Parent is Mr. Hall. And I believe we mentioned this a couple of times when we were talking about the movie is, yeah, Mr. Hall crushes it. You know, he mentions he's working overtime so he can because he's got two. He's got two kids on this team. Not just one. He's got two kids. He's working overtime so he this team. Not just one. He's got two kids. He's working overtime

so he can afford to put them through. Gives up his overtime to watch a game. Yes. Gives up his overtime. The fall game. He's at every single game. Every single game he's at. And then when Bombay is contemplating stepping away after

the whole Peter fiasco, he steps up and he's like i'll coach him i'll coach him the rest of the way that way we don't have to quit the season you know yeah it's great stuff he also was first on board with some of that ducks merch he got that really nice green crew neck oh yeah you know like those crew necks they're not cheap he was rocking that snap back to the green snap back oh yeah absolutely i absolutely. I forgot about that. So like, not only that, but like just really rocking that ducks fashion. He made you want that exact same getup. Oh yeah.

Great parent, great support all the way around. Mr. Hall just setting the bar very high. Seven stars. Holy. My word. All right. bar very high seven stars holy my word all right the next category for the golden cakeys awards is best cameo um and so we just uh we kind of tied on on the honorable mention so you just want to talk us through the honorable mention brandon yeah yeah so so there's there's not a lot of cameos per se in this movie um especially because it's the first movie in the the series so there's not a lot there's no people from previous movies or anything like that the only real cameo one of the only real cameos we get are the Minnesota North stars players that show

up when they're right before they're skating around and then going to the game. And we have Basil McRae. Pod favorite pot. Yeah. Friend of the program. That's absolutely. Give us a call.

Basil. We'd love to hear from you, man. Like with that oh man basil mccray yeah fantastic although he does he i'm still a little upset about the the whole him recognizing bombay from peewee hockey doesn't make it let that go brandon i can't never never um what about mike madonna and then mike madonna is the second minnesota north stars player that we get the cameo from.

And he has the great line. I think it's the only thing he says where he's looking at Bombay and he goes, I thought you were a farmer. Yeah, that's great. And he kind of has like a Minnesota accent when he says it, too. It's like, oh, I heard you're a farmer. Oh, yeah. I wonder, is Mike Madonna from? I don't know I know he is for sure American

From the great US of A I don't know, he's from Michigan LaVon, Michigan Same difference, still going to get a little bit of that northern Oh, definitely not the same difference You're going to get some hate letters here That's okay, bring it on That's the honorable Bring it on.

That's the honorable mention is the stars players. We got Basil McRae, Mike Badano crushing it. And the winner of the Golden Cakey's award for best cameo is the lawyer who is also one of the writers. He's the writer.

The writer. The writer and the creator. Steven Brill is his name. The guy who wrote, created The Mighty Ducks, wrote this movie, wrote the second and the third movie. And then is. I don't know if he's the I don't think he's the only writer for Game Changers season one. I think there was like a team of like three or four people, but he's one of them.

So he's still heavily, and he's an executive producer. He's still heavily involved in game changers. But so Steven Brill, he plays the lawyer from the beginning of the movie, Freddie boy, the one who is, who loses to Bombay with the old lady case.

And then is the prosecuting lawyer for for bombay's dui yeah bombay roasts him for wearing the same tie multiple days yep yep it is uh it's a frankie boy frankie boy not freddie boy my apologies my apologies yeah that's uh it's definitely why we don't have nice things but i did want to just correct that real quick yeah but uh fun fact um steven brill originally wrote this movie with the idea of him playing gordon bombay and then when disney came on they were like no we want to get we want to get a big we want to get a big name and so that's when they tried to get um i believe they originally tried to get bill murray i think that was the first person they tried to get.

Okay. And then he said no. And then they went for Charlie Sheen. Charlie Sheen said no. And then they went with Emilio. That's right. Because I think we talked about this too, because it would have had Bill Murray would have probably had more of a

bad news bears ask kind of feel to it. Yeah. It would have been more. Yeah. He would have been more, I think grouchy old man yeah and anything and that would have been cheeky old curmudgeon yeah i don't think he definitely the i mean it would it would have changed the tone for this one for sure and then

it would have completely like i don't see how you do anything remotely resembling d2 with bill murray as the coach no that wouldn't have worked at all definitely not getting any fucking Completely. Like, I don't see how you do anything remotely resembling D2 with Bill Murray as the coach. No, that wouldn't have worked at all. Definitely not getting any fucking air bomb bays. That's for sure. No way,

man. Yeah. And then what do you do with Hans? Cause Bill, Bill Murray's a, he's a, he, well,

I mean, at that time he probably, at that time he was 40, 40s or 50s. Yeah. He could have still used some sage guidance from older hans i was just imagining like current bomb or current bill murray getting advice from hans it's like dude we're the same age bro one one time i got stopped in an airport because these two old ladies thought i was bill

murray's son um it was it was one of the yeah yeah it was one of the weirder experiences that ever happened to me so i was wearing one of those like bill murray shirts you know what i'm talking about like like the golf shirts yeah yeah like i was yeah like with his face on it and so i was wearing oh with his face on it yeah i was wearing one of those shirts and these two old ladies came up to me i was sitting in an airport maybe in orlando and these two old ladies came up to me and they're like oh hey young man and i was like because you know like this was before everyone had like airpods and and white you know bluetooth beats and shit you didn't walk around with a lot of headphones on but anyways they came up and they approached me and they were like is is that your dad on your shirt and i was like it's like well uh no that's that's bill murray did they know it was

bill murray yeah and i was like no it's just it's just a fun shirt and they're like oh we thought maybe you were it was you were his son and it was your dad you guys kind of look the same yeah sucks to be bill murray so i pulled out i pulled up all uh all of bill murray's sons here on google because he i he has quite a few i didn't realize he had so many okay one of them unless this is just another guy that popped up who's not really related to him one of them's a fucking race car driver oh wow okay um. Okay. There you go. But I thought you'd enjoy it. Cooper Murray is the race car driver. But you look nothing like any of these kids.

Any of these people. The only one I could maybe see is Luke. Because, but even that is like a huge fucking stretch for you to be confused with luke murray uh luke murray who is a basketball coach by the way yeah college basketball coach but he's yeah you don't look anything like any of these other people like it's yeah it was it was hilarious and you don't look like any you don't look anything like bill murray that's what i'm saying it i it caught me if you're you're

it absolutely caught me off guard it's why it's such a great story you know it's why you made me think about it's like oh yeah this lady is just for some reason people always come and talk to me at the airport and like ask me for directions even when one time i was reading a book and had my beats headphones on and someone asked me a question about where their gate was. If that doesn't say don't fucking talk to me, I don't know what does. But I guess, you know, they still ask me. Anyways, yeah. Okay, so now I'm in a huge Bill Murray deep dive right now on Google.

Okay. I got you way off topic. You have a similar nose to Bill Murray. I will say, but that's it. That's all. It's just the nose, but maybe I look like not Bill Murray,

but I look like Bill Murray's face from the t-shirt. Like a little distorted. Maybe, maybe like, not like actual Bill. I just don't feel like weird cop like because i look like him a little bit they thought like and who wears a picture of their dad's face that's that's what i want to unpack a little bit let's unpack that a little bit these old ladies

think are thinking you're the son of bill murray and then they're also thinking that you're gonna walk through an airport with your dad's with a picture of your dad's face on your shirt yeah yeah there's a lot of and your dad's a famous person yeah it'd be like no one wants to draw that attention to no yeah it was a shirt that says i'm bill murray's son great moment florida airport you know it's just what do you expect that's one of the most bizarre stories i think i've ever heard yeah it's not the only one time a guy asked me i thought i was ben roethlisberger in the omaha mall that one i could see a little more not that you look like ben roethlisberger

but at least same build same hairline same beard exactly same beard same hairline you're you're a big white guy with receding hair and a beard i could i can understand that it's just that he's like six six and i'm like six two so there's a bit of a how how tall was the person uh that said this to you, though? Short, random guy. Yeah. That makes sense. He doesn't know what four inches is. He has no idea.

Yeah. That one caught me off guard, too. Anyways. Oh, wow. So I got us way off topic there. But that's okay. That's what this podcast is all about. That's why the listeners tune in.

They want to hear insane tangents about my life. I like how I prefaced before we started recording this. We should try to make this short and sweet, kind of speed it up. And we have done nothing but go on tangents. Some of the most wild in podcast history yeah so all right so let's go to the to the next category and getting to that halfway point i think just over it so the next golden cakey's category is the best ongoing storyline okay and so for my honorable mention for this one, I chose the

I'm calling it the politics of Minnesota peewee hockey, which is the gerrymandering that happened before this season, apparently where they redrew the lines, which made banks a duck instead of a hawk. But they redrew the lines.

Apparently they redrew the lines apparently they redrew the lines and they just didn't think to check if that affected anybody and then and then you get so once Bombay brings that or Hans brings it up to Bombay Bombay uses that to get Banks on the Ducks

and then you have the whole fight that ensues after that where you have Ducksworth Phil Banks, Adam's dad the ducks. And then you have the whole fight that ensues after that, where you have a ducks worth, uh, Phil banks, uh, Adam's dad, and then coach Riley who form a team to,

uh, broker a deal. Yeah. They're going to coerce the P. They cut a deal with the, the, the P. We hockey association,

whatever it is that they're a part of a couple of tribes here. Yeah. Um, and the Minnesota P. Wee Hockey Association, whatever it is that they're a part of. A couple of bribes here. A couple of bribes there. And the Minnesota Pee Wee Hockey League is like, okay, we'll take the deal. We'll take the bribes. But Bombay needs to formally withdraw his protest, which, I mean, that's a whole other thing. Why do you need him to formally withdraw the protest?

It's the 1990s. Just shred the document that he sent you you know yeah just never received the facts sorry you already and you already like all you need are two and not you're just two anonymous donations away from all of this going away forever like you said it's the early 90s that happened all the time yeah just shred it shred it and say you never got it you know um i've been i've been watching a lot of uh well because uh the the new season of succession came out on hbo i don't know if you've seen that i haven't but it's popular bill simmons talks about it all the time so i i haven't watched it either but with the new season coming out i was like i'll i'll go back and i'll i'll uh i'll watch it because my roommate has has watched all of it um so i went back and i watched season one the other day um and yeah that's all you gotta do that's all you need to do in any kind of corporate america nonsense just shred it

just shred it perfect all right so i'll go quick on my honorable mention it's uh it made me laugh throughout the uh entire first half of the movie it's the fact that these kids were like street kids and we were introduced to the district five players of them dumpster diving getting a purse so that they could do the first ever recorded poop dollar um where they then get chased down by that random guy that picks it up. You know, they somehow stumble upon a big stack of swimsuit issues. You know, they're just always lurking around the street. And I just thought that was hilarious that we've got some District 5 street kids. I think they do a really good job.

And again, talking about 90s compared to now, you wouldn't get this this the these scenes with them being street kids nowadays yeah um but i think this movie does a really good job of setting them up as kids that are incredibly poor from like not a not so good neighborhood and they're just on the streets in the middle of the day in the middle of winter fending for themselves you know yeah it's great stuff yeah parents are working kids gotta go do their thing stay entertained exactly and they i think they hammer at home even more with all the equipment the the weirdest fucking equipment they all have at the beginning

of the movie yeah like that's all they could afford to scramble together. You need that deep pocket Duxworth is what you need. Exactly. And then go donate it all to Hans. Yeah, fucking Hans made out like a goddamn bandit

dude. And now the winner of the Golden Kinkies Award for best ongoing storyline And now the winner of the Golden Kinkies Award for Best Ongoing Storyline, Coach Riley, Bombay Trauma. Yes. you get just this long festering and you know going in in conjunction with bombay's dad dying the penalty shot him blaming coach riley blaming it on on bombay him quitting hockey you know this terrible pep talk right before the shot of like wish your dad could be here gordon yes it's just so much toxic pressure and you know all that kind of stuff and then you couple

with the fact that his dad died he doesn't have a father figure anymore hans is nowhere to be found it leads to a drinking problem he becomes an alcoholic he becomes a heartless lawyer yeah you know he's fucking banging court reporters you know he's just he's probably not wearing protection you know there's really irresponsible choices exactly exactly um and it all builds up and then i mean he doesn't he doesn't really i guess he kind of towards when he's talking to hans towards the like the middle and the the end of the movie he's finally coming to grips with the trauma you know but he doesn't I mean he doesn't really do too much to get over it other other than just well actually I think he does I take that back I think he what he does he begins to get over it because I think what coupled with Hans is like advice and his talks with him about

how he used to love hockey and coach Riley ruined it for him. And, you know, his dad dying is not part of that equation at all, even though it feels like it is. I think that coupled with him finally seeing coach Riley for what coach Riley is. Cause I think especially with his dad dying at the time he does,

then he turns to coach Riley as his father figure, you know, he's like, this is the, this is my new, this is my new dad and I'm going to ride this out. And so with that, you don't,

when you have somebody, you know, held in that kind of regard as your father figure, you don't see the bad stuff. You don't, you know, you can rose colored glasses. You don't really see it so i think hans kind of opens his eyes to it a little bit and then when he finally sees you know coach riley take out the hit on banks

that's when he's like okay this dude's a fucking asshole and ruined my life and so then I think at that point he starts to at least acknowledge and try to come to grips with just how messed up of a person he is I agree and that just it carries all the way throughout

the entire movie but anyway they drop little coach Riley seeds with the flashbacks and everything throughout yeah throughout the entire movie but anyway yeah they drop little coach riley seeds with the flashbacks and everything yeah throughout uh yeah throughout the whole movie yeah all right the next golden cakey's category is best couple best couple and so this one was tough again as well because slim pickings one may say not not a lot of couples so i went just like with uh you know best parent i'm gonna kind of go uh left field here and come out of left field and for my best couple i'm going to choose carps mom and the mailman that is it banks it's banks that says it to him right yeah it's

either banks or mcgill i can't remember which one it's it's from the the sports illustrated scene there they they steal the carp steals the sports illustrated issue uh swimsuit issue looking at all of it or whatever they're all making fun of gee's, and they're picking on Peter. And then the Hawks rollerblade in, steal it all out of their hands. And they're like, oh, does your mommy know you have this? And then I think it's Banks that's talking to Carp and is like, oh, no, she's probably busy with the mailman. Great burn. Great burn. And so I hope that Carp's mom and the mailman have been able to establish a long-lasting relationship that kind of helped both of them get through a tough time in their lives. It would explain some of Carp's behavioral issues if he came from a broken home due to mailman interference

and his bond with Peter. Yes, absolutely. It would explain so much. Yeah. With slim pickings, that's a great left field choice. There's just, because I know who you're going to pick and I know who we picked as the winner. And outside of those two, there's no.

There's no one else. There's no couple um i guess one one one we could one we could have used they're not really a couple though um but you have uh when they're uh trying to recruit tommy and tammy yeah and you get terry you realize terry little terry has a crush on Tammy because he's like, ooh, that's Tam. Maybe their love blossomed like he and Connie. Maybe because, I mean, neither of them are in the second movie, spoiler alert. So maybe they're off, you know, gallivanting, living the young love life. Yeah. Well, I won't go too deep into my Brandon because it's the obvious choice. Casey and Bombay, their love flourishes just like Bombay's coaching expertise starts to flourish.

You know, it's hand in hand. One may say like that pun, you know, that's and the viewers didn't get to see the delightful wink I gave Brandon after that pun. So it's just, you know, pulling out all the stops here for the golden cake, as one may say. But anyways, Bombay and Casey, they seal it with the kiss after Bombay says all the right things. Two kisses, right? Oh, because then at the end. Because they kiss after the game. After they win.

And then they kiss right before he gets on the bus. Yep. Oh, that's right. But yeah, so Casey and Bombay. That's it. It's a great one. Especially the kiss right before the bus. Then he hops on the bus and what is it?

The outfield plays. Yeah, it's that great send-off moment. What song is it? I don't know. We talked about it already though. Oh, well, whatever.

Move on. It's it's by the outfield though. It's it. And it's not because of the outfield there, their, their big hit is your love. It's not that one. It's a different one.

And the winner of the golden cake. He's award for best couple is Connie and Guy. Obviously this is a no brainer times a thousand. And now that we know what Connie and Guy become watching their young romance blossom is an absolute thing of beauty. The way that, you know, Guy comes to her protection always whenever he can. They hold hands at the game.

I don't know if you noticed this, but when Bombay is teaching them to take falls, Guy and Connie are paired up and Connie trips up Guy, puts him on his backside. I don't remember that, but yeah, they do a great job of, because at the end of the game, they share the

kiss, right? Yeah, they seal it with the kiss and they almost fall over. And my favorite part is Goldberg is like right behind him and he has like the most shocked look on his face when they kiss each other. But they do a really good job of throughout the movie you have, you know, either she comes to his defense or he comes to her defense

that happens a couple times both ways they're always sitting next to each other they're always partnered up they do a great job of like sprinkling the little you know the seeds of love before the before the eventual kiss and then and then two and three it grows

even more and more and then obviously game changers we find out that they're married with kids, just living the fucking dream. Yeah, the American dream up there in Minnesota. And you got to love it for them, you know? Podcast faves. Oh, I would have rioted if in Game Changers they did not have Guy and Connie still together.

I would have thrown a fucking fit. We would have shut down the podcast and just completely rebelled against the Game Changers. I would drive to Disney Plus headquarters and start fucking throwing rocks in windows.

By the way, winning it all was the song by the outfield at the end. Winning it all. Winning it all. Great, great. A perfect end to a 90s sports movie, especially an underdog movie. You know, can't get better than that. A most excellent send-off.

Wow. Well, what a great category. And that leads into our next category, Brandon. The next Golden Cakey's category is Best Friendship. Yes. And so this one, I even thought, so I thought about putting my honorable mention for this as the honorable mention for best couple as well. But then I was like you know maybe not i'll i'll you know a little too cheeky too cheeky exactly especially like with the categories being right at one right after the other you know but so my honorable mention for best friendship is lewis

and bombay lewis being ipsy gainey the grand funk railroad driver limo driver van driver uh eventual assistant coach um because he hops on the bench he's got his own jersey film guy you really see yep yep you really see their friendship blossom although it's all it's kind of like i mentioned it before i gotta imagine there's scenes that got cut from this movie of lewis and bombay of either lewis being more involved with the hockey practices or lewis and bombay just one-on-one bonding because he goes from just being the limo driver to being the assistant coach on the bench with very little explanation in between. So I got to imagine there's a couple of scenes that got cut, but.

I think it's us assuming the friendship because he starts off calling him sir and stuff, but then you see him like on the bench and they're high-fiving and there's like some other just like montage moments, right? Yeah, when they're on the the north stars when they're skating around the north stars rink and everybody's teaching lewis how to skate he's fallen he knocks mom bay over their left they're hamming it up they're buddying around you know just a couple buddies buddying around yeah that's okay but i mean spoiler alert, Lewis slash MC Ganey does not reprise his role in any of the other movies, nor in Game Changers, which is a huge missed opportunity.

That's going to be because one of the categories is we have biggest missed opportunity. That's going to be my biggest missed opportunity for not only D2, but D3. It's where the fuck is MC game? I'm not going to go super deep into mine yet again, just because it's Connie and Guy. Those two. Yeah. Because, you know, their relationship started as a friendship. And for all the kiddos out out there those are the relationships that stay rock solid you know where the other person isn't just going to abandon you because you're not just there

for the romance and all that stuff because the romance isn't always alive that's not a realistic expectation and you should get your friends you can get romance anywhere you know yeah that's you can you can get romance from a new pet you could you can get romance from the the personal section you know you get it anywhere five dollar whorehouse you know anywhere anywhere you want i knew you didn't need to specify i knew where you were going i was going with a much more you you know, Disney plus rated romance. I'm in, I'm in nineties mode. I'm, you know, I'm making circumcision references.

Celebrity death match is still around, you know, Pamela Anderson is the star, right? But no, you are, you are right. Like, especially it starts as a friendship. And you don't necessarily need like for, for the, the best relationships, they don't necessarily need to start as a friendship, but you absolutely have to find that like you have to find that friendship, even best friendship, dare I say, somewhere along the lines in order for it to last. You know, you need that extra dimension for sure. Absolutely. To get you through the times where it's not as fun or exciting yes because then it's always fun you know if you're just you know yeah if you're just

hanging out with your best friend you know what what could be better exactly yeah just ghani and geef you know the epitome of all things ah all right goals hashtag relationship goals oh there you go Raised hands emoji And the golden cakey's award For Wait Yeah sorry I got My brain frozen I looked at the category

I was at sorry And the winner of the golden cakey's award for best friendship is peter and car yes i think this they definitely have the clearest friendship bond throughout the movie even though they're both fucking annoying assholes you know they're they they they have that bond between each other you know especially because it happens like three or four times where somebody makes fun of carp and peter turns to him and goes are you gonna fucking take that dude i think i think the moment that best sums up their friendship to me is when Charlie jumps up to defend his mom's honor

and then Connie jumps up to defend Charlie and pushes Carp and Peter jumps up to Carp's defense and says hey can't push Carp like that and I think that pretty much that is the best one because that pretty much sums up their friendship to the T because yes, Peter instigates carp and gets them all riled up, but he's always going to be there for him. So I, I don't, I don't know how intentional it was considering their 12 year old actors, but in that scene, the way he says, Hey, Hey,

you can't push carp like that. He says it's so like earnest and genuine um that again i don't know how intentional it was uh but it was just a fantastic acting job yeah you know whether it was an intentional choice or if it because maybe peter the actors peter and carp maybe they were maybe they were really good friends off you know off off air off camera on the set and maybe that was just like a genuine you know heart reaction that he had for for carp as a uh the actor as a person rather than you know an acting choice like that yeah but either that seems that i do love that scene that seems fucking fantastic that's great. All right. The next Golden Cakey's category is Pheasant of the Tea. My favorite category.

So for this one, this one is kind of tough, honestly, because they're all not good hockey players. Yeah, they're all not good at first, but then they all generally make improvements throughout the movie, too. And they show the improvements in each player, so it makes sense. Yes, and so for – my choice is Goldberg. I went with Goldberg. He does – I will say he does – he gets markedly better from the beginning of the movie to the end of the movie.

And like you said, they show his natural progression of getting better that being said at the end of the movie he is still a terrible goalie he is diving out of position when he does not need to he's just uh he's making very impulsive decisions when he's in the net and i don't know if impulsive is the best quality for a goaltender so two great moments from goldberg prior to him getting really good the first when he takes the fall uh in in the goal and then they score because he just falls over and trip and the second um which doesn't involve his goal you're skipping the best part is when he skates to the bench after that and bombay goes goldberg you're not supposed to fall if they're shooting and he goes oh i'm sorry you should have said that or something like that so great moment but

the other time that goldberg was really struggling is when he was fighting with those pants. When they were trying out the hockey equipment. Those are my two favorite Goldberg moments. The fight in the pants is the best one for sure. Another one I love is when, I forget what game it is, but he like, he gives up a goal and he like skates after the ref and he's like screaming after the ref. He's like, what are you blind out here? Yeah. Great stuff. Goldberg, great stuff.

So for my fans and the team, I have carp who you never actually really see his progression. You just kind of assume that he maybe gets a little bit better, but he had a massive puddle of eggs in front of him because he could not get that down. When Bombay was trying to teach him to skate he waxed pretty hard it may have been the falls one but he just like ran and jumped and it looked really awkward um he just drops to his knees and takes a puck right in the face i was gonna say i am 90 sure correct me if I'm wrong. If you have another instance of him playing hockey.

But I believe him getting a concussion, taking a puck to the dome, is the only actual game action of hockey that we see him do. Yeah. I'm pretty sure that is 100% right. Yeah. And then just the complete disregard for his safety that the team has afterwards. Just dump him into the bench.

Alarming. Yeah, yeah. He's fine. Zero neck support, just throw him into the bench. Yeah, it's fine. He's good. And the winner of the Golden Cakey's Award for Pheasant of the Team is Peter. And we talk about this a lot.

So along with Karp, I don't think we ever, do we ever see Peter actually in a game? There might be some in there, but I don't think it ever specifies him. I think that sometimes you just see like a short kid and it's up to you to guess if it's Tommy or Peter. You know, like that's what I know. Well, so I know, I know in the Hawks game, the championship game there, Tommy is in there. He's the real short guy. And you're sure that's him. Yes. Cause you can see the name on the back.

And so it's him and yeah. So that's Tommy during there, but like before Tommy shows up, Peter might be in a game or two. But again, they don't highlight it at all. They don't really show anything. Everything, every line that he has, every action sequence that I can remember of him during the games is when he's on the bench.

So yeah, Fezzen and the team, he's not bringing much to the table. And he also led a mutiny. Yeah, and he's the worst locker room guy I've ever seen in my life. Like, you know, just, yeah. If you're going to talk about a toxic locker room guy. It makes James Harden look like a fucking top-notch teammate. Listen, I don't, Brandon, come on, man.

So, I don't, did you? It's still too fresh to James Harden. Not to go on a. James Harden, you serving the Rockets. I just. That's why I brought it up. God, just ruining it. Okay.

To all the fans out there. I lived in Houston for a while. I had Rockets season tickets. It was awesome. I've become a huge fan. What James Harden did to the Rockets is everything that is the worst part of sports. Like everything that makes, it's just, yeah, fuck that guy. They just ruined the whole team.

Not to go on another tangent, but they just, they really, cause it's the NBA 75th anniversary or 75th season, 75th anniversary. I actually don't even think it's their 75th anniversary I think it's they do like the 75 they did the team for 52 yeah they did the same thing the 75 greatest yeah some of the people on that list

is a stretch and then everybody was because they left Kyrie Irving off the list and Kevin Durant was thrown a fit on Twitter Kyrie Irving off the list. And Kevin Durant was throwing a fit on Twitter. Kyrie Irving has no business anywhere near the top 75 of all time. Nowhere near it. The only reason Kevin Garnett was pitching a fit was trying to get Kevin Durant.

Same thing. Just trying to get him to come back and play and to get vaccinated. That's all he was trying to do is be like, oh, hey, Kyrie is so good. Hey, do you want to come back and play this year don't get me started brandon why did you we were trying to not do these tangents and then you just have to needle me with something that's going to get me so riled up for the rest of the day yeah but some of the names on that list like kairi has no no reason to be on there i think damianian Lillard and Russell Westbrook, I think tied for the last spot or something like that.

Neither of those people deserve to be on that list. Westbrook makes sense just because he is- Top 75 of all time? Well, the way he has stepped the stat sheets and the MVPs he got. Of all time. MVPs, stats, you got to look at that stuff. Does he have a lot of MVPs? Yeah. He has an MVP. He has a league MVP? stats. You got, does he have a lot of, does he have a lot of MVPs? Yeah.

He has an MVP. He has a lead. He has a league MVP. Yeah. Okay. Okay. Okay. Oh,

okay. I can see it on that point then. Yeah. That that's one thing that I, that I, cause they, they left a Yoke itch off now full, full disclosure to the listeners.

I'm a Denver nuggets fan, extremely biased. They left your catch off and they left Alex English english off that's the egregious i'm a huge nba fan and i don't even know who alex english you don't know who alex alex english scored more points than any other player in the throughout the 1980s he has the most points in the nba throughout the 1980s how does that not get you on the list? How do you not know? Do some basketball homework and go look up Alex English. He's one of the greatest basketball players of all time.

The Denver Nuggets of the 80s are not worth any time. I'm sorry, Brandon. He was on other teams in the Nuggets, too. I know, but I'm just saying. Anyways, Brandon. He was on other teams in the Nuggets, too. I know, but I'm just saying. Anyways, anyways. I'm just saying, A, if you don't know who Alex English is, you're an idiot. B, if you don't think Alex English deserves to be on the top 75 of all time, you're a fucking idiot.

He's no Akeem Olajuwon, that's for sure. I'll give you that. Olajuwon's better. I'll give you that. Olajuwon's better. I'll give you that for sure. The guy who got me super into basketball and to fall in love with it was Sean Kemp. He was like the Blake Griffin before Blake Griffin was in the 90s. And like some of his highlights, really nice. Anyways, let's get us back again.

We've gotten off the rails a few times today. That's okay. You know, we're just, we got some golden cakey energy. You know, we could talk, we could talk 90s NBA all day on this podcast. That would just, you know, it would just get us. We'll start a spinoff. Yeah. We can just, we can start a spinoff podcast specifically about the 75 list.

And that'll probably, we could probably argue about that for six years during quarantine i actually went back and watched the 96 finals where the bulls played the supersonics i went back and watched all six games yeah it's a quarantine man there's a lot of stuff that that people were oh i was i was deep diving uh old uh my roommate danny even made fun of me because they have on YouTube, you can find a whole bunch too, but even on ESPN plus, they have a bunch of old NHL games, like full games from the 70s and 60s. And so I was watching all those.

Nice. Danny was like, what are you doing? You know this game already happened, right? It's like, yeah. I get it. I'm going to relive these moments all right so let's let's move on the next golden cakey's category is team mvp team mvp for my honorable mention it should surprise nobody i'm going with my boy Guy Germain Who Honestly he's my honorable mention

But I Could easily be talking to him Being the winner of this category He's the greatest thing that's ever happened To the city of Minneapolis It took a little bit Of convincing I believe on my end Jesse Ventura Who you know prince who

wow i'm i'm blanking on other minneapolis people um i can't believe you went there with jesse the body though man minneapolis right i know he was he was yeah he was the governor yeah i just didn't know if he was actually from Minneapolis I'm surprised he Became governor I you know how I love going back and rewatching like Old WWF pay-per-views And WCW pay-per-views from the

80s and 90s that guy said Some stuff on the color commentary Oh Hey man Yeah anyways Jesse the pot so but yeah gee germain the guy he he is the first suggestion for a lot of people when charlie gets the the attempt for the game-winning goal because he's automatic you know he is yes he's probably and he had him and my honorable mention, are the two main cogs that make this team go. Yes.

You know? And your honorable mention, go ahead and mention who your honorable mention is. We've got Jesse Hall for my honorable mention. Between him and me. The Oreo line, man. Yeah. Oh, man. And, you know, Terry is in there with the Oreo line,

but, you know, Terry gets replaced very quickly once we get our new edition. Yep. And spoiler alert, Terry does not make it to the second movie. Yeah. Jesse does, though. Jesse does. But, yeah. Leaves his brother behind.

Way to be a solid brother, Jesse. Gee and Jesse, super great line. But the winner, the winner of the Golden Cakey's award for team MVP is Adam Banks. Yep. Because he comes in, he turns around. And he's clearly the best player in the entire Pee Wee Hockey Association. 100%. 100%. Like, he's like league MVP, not just team MVP,

because he picks up right where he left off. Like, you know, whether it was the Ducks, whether it was the Hawks, like he was ripping wheel snipe sellies all day Brandon like you know dirty dangles oh my word you know like he was absolutely just crushing those and so yeah banks

you know and in the playoffs he was absolutely ripping goals top shelf five full everyone he was just scoring machine yep Bardowski's all over the place always Bardowski's ripping goals top shelf five hole everyone he was just scoring machine yep down skis all over the place always bar down skis yeah yeah obvious MVP

banks you know top shelf cheddar exactly next one the golden cakey's award for biggest missed opportunity so for this one this one was kind of tough because there weren't too many missed opportunities here the thing that bothered me though was the league structure i feel like they didn't they didn't give

too much thought to that to flesh it out enough because like the the flashback at the beginning with gordon when he's a young kid you have the state championship against uh duluth east i believe yeah and duluth is a far ways away from the minneapolis metropolitan area which in this current league with the hawks the ducks the huskies all, all the teams that we're playing, the Flames, the Jets, those teams are all within the Minnesota metropolitan area. They're either in the Minneapolis, St. Paul metropolitan area. The Ducks are specifically in Minneapolis. You have the Hawks in Edina.

The Cardinals are Cedar Rapids. Thekies are minnetonka um all suburbs of minneapolis slash st paul's you know in that little area um so you know we don't get any we don't get any uh like some of the newspaper articles mention a division one and division two um but they never talk about that outside of those articles. They don't do a good job of explaining what this league is, where is it, what's the spread, which, I mean,

I'm probably the only person that that bothers. 100%. But it bothers me a lot. Yeah. Why go to the trouble of doing a Duluth East? That's a whole new jersey that they made for this fucking movie. They could have just slapped the fucking Flames jersey on him.

Why go to the trouble of that? Why go to the trouble of having the newspaper articles mention a Division I and a Division II? If we're not even going to. Why go to that trouble if you're not even going to talk about why bring it up if you don't want it brought up listen all that reminded me of is that family guy segment um on that episode where peter's like you know what really grinds my gears and it's just like that's it that's it you just reminded me of like you know what really grinds Minds my gears. Yeah. A league structure. Chaps my hide. So there you go. The league structure.

I would like more information. That's all. I would like more. But like you said, the biggest missed opportunity, there weren't a ton. But I just thought the press coverage for one of the worst peewee hockey teams in southeast minnesota was just a little wild you know the fulton herculean shot of the front page of like the national it wasn't even their magazine not even their first win it was their first tie yeah and it made front front page on america's number one hockey public you know they're getting radio calls. No one is listening to peewee hockey on the radio.

No radio station is putting peewee hockey games on there. I don't know. Maybe Minnesota, maybe, you know, Minnesota, baby. There you go. We should try to find somebody from if any of our listeners are from the great state of Minnesota or even better, the great city of Minneapolis or St. Paul. Yeah. Let us know. Do they have or did they?

Maybe not anymore. They don't because you can just get everything on the – nobody's listening to the radio anymore. But in the 70s, especially with Gordon Bombay's heyday, maybe they did have the radio on. Radio call. What else are you going to put on the radio? Another Elvis song? Maybe.

Maybe if you're nothing but a hound dog, Brandon. Maybe if you want to get your jailhouse rock on. Anyways, the winner of the Golden Cakey's Award for Biggest Missed Opportunity is Moore Hans.

Yes. I think that this is the biggest missed opportunity, and the only thing that I... One of the only... If somebody gave me the script to look over and edit it, this would be one of the only, like, if, if somebody gave me the script like to look over it and edit it, this would be one of the notes I would give them. It's like, you got Hans in here.

He seems like a key part to Bombay, not only Bombay progressing as a hockey coach, but, you know, progressing as a, as a, as a human being, as becoming a functional adult in society. And so I would, I would have loved cause he's only really in the like act two, once they get to the playoffs, he kind of disappears and you only see him in the stands.

Yeah. So I would have loved like, especially like maybe like one more pep talk before the championship game, you know, you get him in there with Bombay a little more, just, you know, yeah.

You know, agree with everything you say., you know. Yeah. You know. Agree with everything you say. We love Hans. Yeah. We're Hans and Hawks apologists. Yeah. We love the H's. Double H's.

Pro Hans. Yes. We are. Pro Hans. Pro Hawks. All right. The next Golden Cakey's category is Best Flow. And so Best Flow, granted, not as great flow as Game Changers.

Game Changers had some fantastic flow. Yeah, some Coach T, Raleigh. Even at Bombay, older Bombay still got the gray hair Logan was all about his flow Right? Logan, I'm sorry What did you get Riley from? Oh, because

I'm pretty sure the actor's last name is Riley Well, whatever I don't know, but yeah, Logan Logan is who I meant Coach T, T Logan Bombay um yeah but so for this one there wasn't a there's there's not nearly as much choice um so but I went with Fulton Fulton's got a nice set nice head of hair yeah solid he's rocking the bandanas every once in a while you know 90s he didn't have a lot of long hair And so Fulton having the long hair Made him kind of edgy

Yeah so this was 92 and they shot in 91 I believe so you're coming Down from 80s hair metal And you're not quite yet at the grunge Phase so yeah Fulton was Definitely on the edgier side For now and then kind of

Once he gets Fast forward a year or two that's when you know nirvana and grunge really take hold and then people start growing their hair out wearing just more mainstream yeah yeah you get a lot more fulton looking kids but yeah yeah um cool well mine for best flow once again a category that we just don't know too much about here at the pod but i'm gonna go with bombay just because of the longevity the hair in uh the mighty ducks is the exact same hair we see in game changers and you know you got to give someone some credit for longevity especially from a couple guys who is are running out of that longevity i never had it to begin with i was i was i was doomed from the start heath um but yeah bobby i mean emilio one of one of the great

heads of hair in hollywood i feel like from yeah his early with all the brat pack movies he was he was rocking that that great 80s hair. Breakfast Club, he was looking like a snack, you know. And then Mighty Ducks all the way up until Game Changers. Yeah, even when he's because he's got to be what, 50, 60 now? Yeah, somewhere in there.

And yeah, still rocking a great head of hair. Yeah. No signs of going anywhere because even his dad, Martin Sheen Has a gray head of hair right now And he's Fucking 80

You know 80 or Somewhere in there You know he's He's got great jeans Great jeans Great jeans Yeah Well the winner

Of the Golden Cakeys Award For Best Flow Is Tammy Yep And so this is just because there's not a lot of other choices. No, but she has lovely golden blonde flow.

Yep. Yeah. Solid. It's nice. Great head of hair. Yep. No complaints. All right. A quick message from our friends at Broken Forest Collective.

And now we move to my favorite Brandon and we've got some rapid fire. Rapid fire. Oh, are you ready? We've got some superlative awards are you ready brandon hit

me with it i'm ready all right i'm almost i'm gonna close my eyes that way i can visualize okay okay the most likely to succeed banks obviously i'm saying charlie but I mean, banks make sense, right? Ripping, ripping goals, top self Cheddar, baby. But then Charlie, Charlie also, you know, he, you see some growth, you see him being, you know, an underdog. So you get some nice work ethic understands to grind. You know what I mean? Like he can't, he's not just super talented. He has to work for it. And he understands that takes it to real life. Yep.

You love to say Charlie's good because Charlie, you get, especially you get a good glimpse of his, I mean, like his character as a person, as a person in this, in this movie, you get a good glimpse of his like humbleness and his just like, when he's talking to Bombay in the diner and he's like well you know at least you got to go to a championship game at least you got to play in the playoffs at least to hit the post could have airballed it

you can tell he appreciates just being there you know Charlie later on in the movies though gets a little cocky and a little arrogant but we'll come to that later on yeah next category most likely to commit tax fraud oh uh i'm gonna say good old philip banks adam banks's dad um because he that makes sense yeah he was i assume the leading charge leading charge in the deal with,

cutting the deal with the Pee Wee Hockey League. If he is going to bribe the Pee Wee Hockey League, who else? Yeah. Come on. Nothing's off limits. Yeah, that's exactly right. I'm saying Coach Riley just because you know he is, you know, squeezing in a few extra write-offs. He's saving some receipts that maybe he shouldn't be writing off,

and you know he's doing that. If he's going to emotionally torture a child, he's not going to be afraid to throw in a few extra write-offs during tax season. That's fair. The next category, Mr. or Ms. Congeniality.

This is just nicest again, right? Yeah. I feel like I ask you that every time. I'm going to go Charlie for nicest. Charlie is Mr. Nice Guy He's like Mr. Nice Guy He's being a fucking wingman for his mom, dude

You know Yeah, that takes a special kind of nice That's true That's true Charlie's good I did Connie Always with a smile Peace sign on the front of her helmet

Before they got the real duck skier always wants to be a peacemaker keeps Averman in check like we talked about you know the velvet hammer of peace okay love we love Connie yeah we gotta get we gotta get Marguerite on the

pond yeah just so she knows just so she fully understands how much legend he is on the podcast yes we gotta get oh do you think we get her and um gary gary is who plays gee do you think we get i would love to a i would love to get get either of them on just in general do you think we get them on together though that was so do you and and then do you think we could get them to do a two pronged interview? The first 30 of them in character as Connie and Guy and the back end 30 of them just as themselves, you know, as human people. What do you think? Maybe. Maybe. I don't know.

I think they'd be down for that. I think maybe they seem probably. Yeah, they seem fine. Anyways anyways i forgot where we were at oh yeah sorry all right next category it's most likely to survive the hunger games it's my favorite category yeah yeah so i yeah so i the obvious i mean there's an obvious choice yeah that i'll still i'll steer clear of because i think that's going to be yours yeah thank you i'm gonna go jesse the the the enforcer you know jesse oh the jess meister yeah no but that makes sense because like he stands up to bombay when they think he's a drug dealer exactly yeah yeah and he's he's the one who's uh you know he's he's uh not fighting back but like when whenever the other team's

talking trash he's the one who goes up to him and gives him a little shove back you know he's the he's the defender of the team yeah so that's what i'm going with love that that's it that's a good one so i'm going with the obvious one you talked about, Fulton. Yeah, okay. Rip in half court, slap shot. You know, 12 times the size of everybody. Absolutely. He's just going to, like, he's taking everybody down. Hunger Games are going to go quick that year. Next category, Class Clown.

Okay. And this is a tie between the two of us. Yeah, this Clown. Okay. And this is a tie between the two of us. Yeah, this is an obvious one. Maybe I'm trying to think. You go first. Because you know what I'm going to pick again. I know what you're going to pick. And that would be my pick too.

But you go first. Explain it. And then I'll see if I can think of a second one. If not, we'll just see if it's a tie. Averman is the obvious class clown he absolutely has the best one-liners throughout the just meister um oh wait hold on can we talk about the peat meister mr rabble rouser what an intelligent joke aververman had. So class clown all the way. Yeah, it's Averman.

No one else is funny like that. I would say Peter has a couple good lines. Maybe carp. Yeah, but they're nowhere close. The line that Peter has

that's real good is in the Sports Illust illustrated scene when they first get the magazine. And he's like, Oh, look at this one. It's from Minneapolis. Oh,

look, it's your mom. Gee. Yeah. That's a great one. But other than that, he's not, nobody else is nobody else comes even close to you.

Yeah. All right. Cool. The next category, most likely to grow a playoff beard oh i'm gonna go charlie because he he has that scene that we mentioned before yeah where he's talking about talking to bombay about how the the north stars never changed their underwear so he seems very susceptible to uh superstition nice so i'm gonna go with uh fulton because um fulton like myself i'm assuming at the ripe age of 12 years old was already shaping um and so he's he's probably the only one who could grow yeah at this stage in their life yeah

yeah and so like i said i i just felt a nice bond with Fulton where we'd both actually be able to grow out at least Peach Fuzz playoff games. Okay. Okay. So there you go. Okay. So now we've got a couple new categories.

Most likely to become a travel blogger. Oh, gosh. Can I give you mine? Because I've thought of it already because i came up with the categories go go for it so so i'm going tammy um because you know just between the ice skating and like the way modern influencing is like i could definitely see tammy growing up and be like hey everybody like just want everyone to see what great products i'm endorsing on the aisles of grease okay that's how i pictured it so i'm gonna go i'm gonna go a little less field here okay and i'm gonna say lewis wow because he's on the road and i i'm in in the in my mind in this scenario he kept a daily

journal while he was driving the tour bus for the grand funk railroad about all the places they stopped and then he turns that into a blog yeah and he only mentions grand funk railroad there could have potentially been other fans that he drove with as well, taking him across other cities and other states. In this scenario, in my head, he

was keeping a daily journal of all the places he visited while on the road, and then just turned that into a blog. Good to go. That's kind of a fun left field one. All right. Nice. And this is gonna, this is gonna wrap us up. So the last category, most fun at recess. I'm going to go, I'm going to go,

even though we've talked about how much of a annoying asshole he is, I'm going to go carp so Carter the dude has the wherewithal to steal a box of swimsuit edition sports illustrated not only that he is clearly

the brains behind the poop dollar yeah he's this guy he's innovative you know he's thinking outside the box he's coming up with some some crazy ideas all right so i'm going to tell you mine just because it helps me with the breakdown so my winner is averman no surprise there averman is my favorite character of the whole movie right but um but averman and vix uh but so there's two different types of recess and fun at recess there's the carp type where there is a 50 50 chance that whatever shenanigans he comes up with you might get some detention oh yeah like you're staying after school. And then there's

the Averman type where like, it's cheeky, it's fun. You're going to be laughing. You're going to have, you know, a grand old time at recess, but there's no risk of getting in any kind of real trouble. And so like we, I feel like we each chose the version of recess that we went to as kids i i don't like that i spent a lot of time in uh elementary school not to they didn't call it detention but it was a lot of you know uh where they put you when you step out of line when you when you become a carp you know yeah see and that's and i was the other one you, like I was very nice and you know what, you know what though? I was, I was kind of, I had a little, it was like Averman, but with a flair of Peter where I love to instigate.

And so I'd kind of like get the ball rolling, but I could always sense the danger coming from the teacher and I would shut it down right away. So I never got in trouble, but if anyone didn't know how to shut it down. They would get in trouble instead. Well I mean it's you know. Gotta have some wherewithal. Yeah and I mean I never got in like serious trouble.

It was always just like you know. Go. Attention here. After school there. Yeah well they never really did after school. Oh really? My sister used to get so mad at me. We had seminars, and I was a bit of a chatty Kathy, one might say, in elementary school.

They would give you presentations to a bunch of that kind of seminar? No, I would have to. They called them seminars at my school, you i would have to they called them seminars at my school and you would have to spend 50 it wasn't a detention because the detention was 30 minutes and you were in trouble and it'd go on your permanent record but a seminar was 15 minutes and it was for people like me they couldn't shut the fuck up during class and so they got keith and so like for my whole sixth grade year i I lived in Mrs. Pick and Paws classroom after school. Interesting. I wonder because I had a hard time shutting it down because you're a small town.

How many how many like buses did did did you guys run or did everybody like walk to school? Well, I mean, I walked to school because I was super close. And then when my sister hit high school, but there was like there was like bus that went and brought the carol kids in because that was like the super small town outside of Wayne um you know that that they would have to come in and then there was one bus that would run and pick up everyone else okay so see that I think that that's that's where the divide is I think you in that small town you can get away with keeping kids late but like so i was in the the the suburbs of denver you know no no yeah if you kept them after school then i missed the bus and then how the fuck am i getting home um so they didn't really do too much after school a lot of it was just like like the next like the next day for the first like 15

minutes of recess you would you know you would have to stay you'd have to stay in the lunchroom while everybody else went out or whatever is that that kind of stuff um yeah so that that's all we had and everyone's whatever like i'll just you know i'll drink and i'll just sit here and drink an extra chocolate milk whatever bro yeah yeah i think i'm scared of 15 minutes in the cafeteria. Anyways. All right. So that pretty much sums up the golden cakeys, which I like to, you know, this, this episode may go down in infamy is like the ultimate best rants from, from the pod.

It was nothing but rants. Boy, did we go down some rabbit holes in the irony. We started this off wanting to keep it short, and we did not do that. Yeah. There were a few moments where. And this is where we need our producer, Kyle Creighton, which is they, Bill now no longer calls him nephew Kyle. He says produced by Kyle Creighton. Okay. There you go.

Good for Kyle. Yeah. So he's, yeah, I's really happy to see his career progression because he really is the backbone of some of my favorite podcasts. And, you know, it's nice to see nephew Kyle getting upgraded into Kyle Creighton. Shout out, Kyle.

You can put that on TikTok. Maybe he'll give us a follow. Hopefully. Cross your fingers. That'll do it for the second edition of the Golden Cakeys, going over the original Mighty Ducks movie. Again, we're planning on doing the same categories and everything for D2, D3, Season 2 of Game Changers, all that stuff. All the big Ducks hits D3, Season 2 of Game Changers, all that stuff. All the big ducks hits.

Exactly, yeah. And so this kind of wraps up our main portion of breaking down D1. After this, we're going to do a couple deep dives into specific scenarios about d1 and then after that we'll start talking we'll talk about a few movies outside of the mighty ducks that the cast and crew have been in and we are giving nothing away there brandon that is going to be just some delightful surprises maybe just like right before we do it maybe we'll we'll give so people can watch it yeah follow us on instagram because so we're releasing these episodes come out every other tuesday um and so follow us on instagram and on instagram the sunday before the episode comes out um we'll post uh on our story about what what which outside

muddy duck movie we're talking about um and so again that that won't come for a couple weeks that until after we do the deep dives yeah um so yeah but stay tuned follow us uh instagram tiktok we're on tiktok now um and reach out we love we love some good feedback you know if you want to send a message, if you have suggestions of movies that you would like to see us break down, and if all it requires, folks, is for a character involved in the Mighty Ducks to be in it. So if it is a spot, like literally a spot acting job,

but you see a character of the let us know if you want us to break that down we will we will shout you out and we will break down that movie just for you absolutely and i mentioned earlier that uh there was one mistake that that somebody mentioned to us where we were talking about the mall of america and it was not the mall of america and so that was um although somebody reached out to us on Twitter and the handle for them is at Casper Princess nine. That's the handle. And they said, just wanted to let you know that the rollerblading scene with Fulton learning to skate was not at Mall of America. It was at City Center slash Gavaday Commons, which is another mall in Minnesota. So shout out to Casper princess nine for that

correction wow fuck yeah casper princess nine do you think do you think that handle is like casper the friendly ghost and it's like but like the casper princess version like that's kind of a fun that'd be a fun spinoff, like Casper the Princess Ghost. It would be a fun spinoff. It's Halloween time, you know? It is. Well, it won't be. It'll be just after Halloween time when this comes out.

But right now it's Halloween time. Yeah. But anyways, sorry. We love getting that feedback from our listeners. Reach out. Let us know what's up. Yes. But, yeah, again, Follow along as we continue. We'll do a couple of deep dives into

the next episode. I'll just shout out. The next episode after this, we're going to be talking about the 30 for 30 thing that Disney did. ESPN has this documentary series they do about sports moments called 30 for 30.

And so in anticipation of game changers, season one coming out, Disney slash ESPN did like a, a mini mockumentary 30 for 30 about the flying V. So for next week's or not next week's, but the next episode in two weeks, we're going to talk, we're going to talk. We're going to watch through that and then dissect

that. That'll be one of our deep dives. And then from there, we have a handful of other deep dives that we want to get to. And then we'll talk about other movies and then we'll eventually get into D2 from there. It's going to be awesome. But that wraps it up for

the second edition of the Golden Cakeys. We laughed. We cried. We celebrated. We felt joy coursing through our veins. It's a fantastic movie. I gave this movie a standing ovation when I rewatched it. When the credits rolled, I stood up in my living room and gave it a standing ovation.

It gets seven gold stars it a standing ovation. It gets. Seven gold stars, two standing ovations. Jenkins and Josie gave it a rousing round of applause. It may have also been the Amazon delivery driver, but either way. Gold stars, thumbs up all the way around. Yes. what uh and i can't wait i can't

wait for d2 because d2 is by far the best movie of the series i'm pumped i'm pumped to talk about that i would love to get we might have to get a poll up and not to go on another tangent again but we might have to get a poll up because i bet the majority of folks out there would agree that d2 is number one because i've talked to a few folks since we've had the podcast it has to be everyone everyone says d2 everyone that i talk to says d2 yeah it has to be d2 there's if d2 is not your your favorite what what do you what are you doing with your life? You know? Yeah, I do. And I say, I- You need to get a job is what you need. I say that as a D3 apologist. I love D3.

It's not as good as D2 though. All right. We can wrap it up. We don't need to hear your D3 nonsense. No, I can't. I can't. But listen, you heard it here first, folks. Golden Cakey's Awards.
