It's not worth winning if you can't win! What's up everybody? My name is Brandon. I am the host of the Cake Eaters podcast, your go-to source for everything Mighty Ducks. I have my co-host here with me, Heath. How's it going? Hello, Brandon. Hear ye, hear ye. Come one and all. The rumor mill is a churning, my friend, and we are here to break it down. Yeah, I think we could call it more than rumors now. I think they're pretty substantiated. At least the casting one is for sure.

And I would imagine. Yeah, these are I think these are all confirmed. These are more than rumors now. I mean, you don't have to come in really hot and shit upon, you know, my opening line or anything, Brandon. But yeah, you know, I mean, I think I think they're more than rumors, especially since it's been when this podcast gets released. It'll be a couple of weeks after everything's been out there. So I think we're we're solid. OK, yeah, well, you're right.

But anyways, we have got some game changers updates coming in hot coming in season two season two baby oh man it is it is playing out in a very interesting way that i don't know if i was uh was sure they were gonna go go. And I think that I think it's spicing things up a little bit. I think it's the safest route to go. Yeah, the safest way to get Bombay out of there

without drawing attention. They're playing everything safe. Yeah. Which is some bullshit. Take a chance, Disney. Roll the dice come on bud listen what they needed and need to do to write out bombay i said it before i'll say it again they need to give bombay the wicked witch of the east treatment they need to have the ice palace come crumbling down they come up and it's just bombay's shoes sticking out of the rubble i'm gonna i'm gonna go out on a record i'm gonna i'm gonna

i know we're saving predictions for the end but since you brought it up right now i'm gonna a shocking prediction here i'm gonna throw this at Yeah. They don't write off Bombay. And then leave it open for him to come back in season three. I thought about that. Yeah. They don't write off Bombay. Season two is entirely the camp. And then season three comes back and it's like nothing ever happened.

And cause they'll, they'll figure out something with Bombay. I thought the exact same thing. I thought the exact, okay, hold on. All right, let's get to it. We'll,

we'll get, we'll, we'll jump into that. Cause that's it. Again, again exact. Okay, hold on. All right. Let's get to it. We'll jump into that because that's a spot on. Again, because they're playing it safe. They're playing it safe. That's the safest way to go, Disney, you cowards. Yeah. No big deal. Just calling out Disney again.

Okay, let's get to the. So should we start with the the casting news yes so yeah jump into the casting news brandon and let's talk about the the choice so as everybody knows emilio's out for season two so everybody's we're looking around we're wondering who's going to be you know the the coach figure the mentor to guide us through season two and we have news uh the article i have is from deadline there's a bunch of other articles as well. Yeah. I did the deadline one too.

We have Josh Duhamel has been cast as Gavin Cole in game change your season two. And so to, to break down what the article says, he's going to play a new character. Yeah. An NHL player turned coach, Gavin Cole. He's going to be inspirational.

He's charming. He's hardcore. Gavin is big on the hockey metaphor that applies to life. He runs the super intense Summer hockey Institute where the mighty ducks land for a season too. So we're going to see. And so this is hockey Institute camp. So I don't think we're hockey Institute makes me think of like, they're still going in to a summer Institute where they like stay there and

like do a, like four week intensive camp yeah that's what that's what that makes that's why it makes me think i so i would be 100 down with it like a summer camp summer overnight vibe because we need to get some summer camp hijinks everybody loves summer camp hijinks you know we just we talked about heavyweights a couple weeks ago everybody loves that you know wait also the reason that i know it's going to be summer camp is because we're going to get to it in a second but one of the new characters in the description it describes them as kubes roommate for the summer so they're definitely staying over there definitely can

confirm but before we even get too far into that can we talk about Josh Duhamel and there are three to four roles that I know him from that are great of course we're going to talk about Josh Duhamel yeah yeah because shame on us if we didn't oh absolutely

because first and foremost he is a star captain oh captain my captain captain lennox and transformers yeah that's the only thing i really know him from i i know his name and i it's a classic role i know his name and i know his face um but transformers is the only thing that i can like remember him in oh come on dude it's he's tad hamilton when a date with tad hamilton that's right come on brandon i know you've watched that movie more times than you probably should have i haven't watched that movie since it came out yeah false i don't believe you i don't believe the the mr king of fucking Hallmark movies has only watched

When a Date with Tad Hamilton once. Don't believe me. Okay, first of all, don't besmirch Hallmark movies by comparing them to When a Date with Tad Hamilton. It's the same thing. It's the exact same thing. It's probably better acting with the Tad Hamilton movie. That's like the Coca-Cola of Hallmark movies and the RC Cola

of When a Date with Tad Hamilton. Get that out of here. Oh, dude. Wait, hold on. You're talking shit about RC Cola? I fucking love some RC Cola, dude. Sorry we weren't all rich growing up, Brandon. Wow, dude.

Weren't all just, didn't all have a silver spoon growing up hanging out of our mouths. Some of us had to get some rc cola it's not my fault your parents are poor okay uh like oh but honestly though we did get rc and like dr thunder and mountain lightning the arthur's a mountain lightning what was it it was mountain it was mountain something but yeah though dr thunder is is great dr thunder brings the thunder all day every day i was i'm always more of a mr pibb guy than a dr pepper guy anyway i think yeah mr pibbs that's my that's my soda of choice is mr pibb yeah yeah okay wait

hold on and so that's it that's a great soda soda choice i i wild cherry pepsi is oh dude soda one like fantastic end all be all number one soda no one can fight me on wild cherry pepsi it's it's just better it's fantastic top three sodas of all time mr pibb wild cherry pepsi and baja blast and Baja Blast. Don't so. That's a pretty fucking legit top three soda. Like, I have nothing but respect for you for including Mountain Dew Baja Blast. Like, that's how I know that not only are you a baller,

Brandon, but you may possibly be a shot caller as well for the Baja Blast. It's fantastic. And it's only made better by its limited availability. Same with Mr. Pibb. Out here on the East Coast, you can

find Mr. Pibb everywhere, pretty much, because it's like a Coca-Cola product. You start going back to the Midwest, you can't find Mr. Pibb. The only place you can find a Mr. Pibb is at Chipotle. That's the only place you can find Mr. Pibb. Dr. Pepper has a monopoly on Texas.

Yeah, Texas, Midwest, any, like the doctor, there's. But the Midwest is Pepsi, man, because I grew up Pepsi products. You know, Runza, the greatest fast food place ever is all Pepsi products. Runza, oh man, don't even get started pepsi and dr pepper are real tight too because uh because uh pepsi doesn't have the they don't have the competitor like mr pibb and coca-cola so yeah they're uh so they team up in those exactly in those soda fountains yeah in colorado when i was growing up, there's, it was at Chipotle. You, no gas station in Colorado ever carried like a bottle of Mr. Pimp. That was like a, a rare treat. If you could like find that somewhere.

And, you know, I love and can agree with your top three, but I would replace, even though I absolutely am obsessed with the fact that you pulled out Baja blast, I would replace Baja blast with code obsessed with the fact that you pulled out baja blast i would replace baja blast with code red code red mountain do you i haven't i haven't had code red since i was like middle school oh do they even still make it hey hey guess guess you guess you have some some 12 packs of code red in the basement i'll'll give you one guess. How old are those? I don't... I mean, they're at

least 2019. I would say they might be earlier, but they would be no later than 2019. I'm surprised they were still making Code Red into 2019. Oh, yeah. How could they not? Listen, Mountain Dew is all the rage in the midwest but code red mountain dew is top of the truth down here in that basement what's that what other let's say what other kind of treasures are

in that basement he's the the big mike and mama d basement there are endless treasures in the warehouse that's what we call the There are endless treasures in the warehouse. That's what we call the spare room. We call it the warehouse. There's this dude. You're going to have some copper pants and copper knives. Oh, man. Like we always get a nice little facelift on our stuff.

Maybe some new bath towels, some new kitchen towels, cutting boards. You know, man, you can always come home with just a few treasures from that. That like Midwestern sense of hoarding fascinates me because like my family. Yeah, my family was the same way, not with like like soda or food or anything like that, but like my grandma and like my aunt, they have just stacks on stacks of like clothes and like arts and crafts. It's just like they never – you never throw anything away. And that shit fascinates me because I don't know when this happened, but I am the exact opposite way. I will throw any and everything away. I don't keep things so like that the the hoarder mindset fascinates me just because i'm the exact opposite i tried i throw things but i moved too much i mean you know you can't move seven times

in the last like 15 years and not expect to lose half your shit. Moving as much as I have... We both have, right? Moving as much as I have, it definitely enhanced that side of me to where I just throw everything away. But even before that, I was that way too. I'll get birthday cards

or whatever, or Christmas cards from people, and it's like, I'll read it. Oh, great. That's nice. Thank you. and then right in the trash zero zero sentimental value here oh i have a random tote of memories you know just random shit now toss it heath you don't need that the memories they're in your head just just think about that you know Brandon agree to disagree gotta have a few memories to hold on to yeah the only thing I like the only thing I hold on to are like records vinyl records like I have a bunch of those but everything else is like you know I've got some great once once I once its usefulness is over done so get. Get it out of here. Get it?

God. All right. All right. Hold on. Let's take a quick pause. I've gotten a lot of complaints from significant others about that. About my. Your lack of attachment to anything, including people.

My inability to care about anything. Just to wrap them back. Mighty ducks. But that's where you should care the most but just to come back a little bit for josh dumel we went a little off the rails there but just to come back the last two movies that i can reference that he is in one you will have no idea but it's uh he plays i think it's harvey dent in the long halloween it's uh the new dc animated joint it's on my to-do list on hbo so i i did see that when i was looking at his like imdb is he does a lot of voiceover work yeah i didn't see that yeah um and then life as we know it that katherine heigl rom-com oh i haven't

seen that i i do oh do you know what i'm talking about though it's not bad it's a good premise i know which one you're talking about. I'm a big Katherine Heigl fan. Love me some Katherine Heigl. Awesome. 27 Dresses. Dude, I fucking love that movie. People can talk shit all they want about Katherine Heigl because she's not a nice person.

But 27 Dresses is a fucking awesome movie. Great movie. Great movie. Dude, that was me. I was in like 15 weddings. It was. And like, you know,

moving. I really was like, it was either a groomsman or like an usher or something. When all my buddies got married. Always the bridesmaid, never the bride. Yeah. Yeah.

Well, and now it's never being the bride by choice, you know, not that kind of girl, Brandon, not that kind of girl. Sure. Heath.

Sure. Whatever, whatever helps you sleep at night. Talk to me like that, Brandon. choice you know not that kind of girl brandon not that kind of girl sure he sure whatever whatever helps you sleep at night don't talk to me like that brandon god what a what a real fucking piece of work you are um all right but honestly you know that life as we know it movie wasn't too bad it was like do you know what it is where like him and katherine heigl their best friends uh die and they get left the kid oh that's right that's right okay yeah yeah it's a good it's a good movie it's a good premise it's a good movie but um okay okay but josh uh playing the nhl player turned coach gavin cole i think, like you said, it's a good cop out to like it's a good opening for Bombay to

come back. And it's a good way to like it's a good safe pick because he's not he's not like a like a famous, you know, A-list celebrity. He's not going to overshadow Emilio. He's great to

look at. He's a very handsome fellow. You're going to get that market down. All the Lauren Graham fans are going to love this because there's not a single down in my mind that he fucks Lauren Graham before the season's over. It's going to happen. At some

point in time, there is going to be a Titanic hand on the steamy glass moment i would i would love it if they showed us sexy that would be so so out of left field and so bonkers that would be amazing um especially especially never ever do that i mean especially if they went like like like full penetration scene this is this is not the hbo max version that we talked about before where bombay becomes then why then why cast some fellow you know if you're not gonna if you're not gonna use it why why cast it yeah like a mcsteamy type of thing yeah but anyway but like i was saying this is

it's a nice safe doubt like straight down the center fastball pick you know yeah it's it's it's not making any waves it's especially with the premise that it's a summer hockey institute so that leaves you open to either a at the for season three because you got you have to leave season two on a cliffhanger for emilio right yeah just in case you can bring him back in if not then you just slide dmell in as the new coach right then you're just like off and running so it gives you it gives you the leeway of not overshadowing emilio and kind of leaving the door open and it's a cool chance to set up like season three, their debut as the ducks,

like as a powerhouse again, because they went to this camp. Yes. Yeah, for sure. And so I, yeah, yeah.

And so with all that being said, we also have a fun sneak preview of, I don't know where you found it. I found it on comicbook.com which just says more about me, I guess, of where I found it. But six new

characters that are going to be introduced at this. I keep thinking of it as summer camp, but what the Hockey Institute. These are six new characters we're going to meet at the hockey institute so four of the six are old older in their 30s 40s 50s well honestly yeah those are those are assistant coaches or camp counselors i'm assuming yeah they i've i've got the full

breakdown i i will run it i'll run through them so i i got this was actually tweeted to to our our Twitter account by one of our one of our thousands upon thousands of fans. Oh, my gosh. Do you have the exact address? So it was tweeted to us by at Casper Princess nine, who's tweeted us multiple times. Oh, shout out. Give us a lot of princess. They've given us a lot of Minnesota Information when we Were talking about d1 and we we fucked up

All the Minnesota stuff they corrected us Oh yeah geez that sure is Nice hey but so They tweeted at us this Article from What's on Disney plus.com is Where I found is the one they sent to us

Okay so that's I I just found is the one they sent to us. Oh, OK. So that's I I just found it on my own on comic book dot com. I see it. It's the article. The article I got says that the character details were revealed by the insider.

Hmm. The insider dot com, which I'm assuming is some super secret source within the Disney family, you know? Oh, I love it. I love it. Okay, so let's, I'm going to start, Brandon, I'm going to debut these. I'm going to do the four adult characters, like the coaches that are going to get introduced. And then we'll end it with the two new characters that could potentially be some big players for the Ducks. Let's do it.

So first, we have Marnie, who is a recurring guest star female in her 30s to 50s, a slightly overwhelmed and unconfident administrative assistant. She's scared of her boss and wouldn't dare to cross him, but doesn't fit in at a high intensity hockey institute she used to run a nature center i don't know what to do with that i honestly don't i honestly don't know what to do with that so marnie is going to be a flighty i feel like marnie marnie's trying to trying to trying to push winnie out i feel is what she's trying to do and i'm not here for it so marnie is going to be like a flighty hippie that is like doesn't know anything about hockey and um will probably attempt to be some like comedic relief potentially

right like that's right that's where i kind of see like marnie. Yeah. I think she's, she's going to give you when he vibes, she, you know, she's there as like, like little side subplots that are just there to lighten the mood. You know? Yeah. She's going to,

she's probably going to have her own mustard, Tim. Yeah. Yeah. Who do you think, uh, I'm going to throw this question at you with, with zero preparation here.

Heath, who would you, who would you cast as Marnie? Oh, jeez. Oh, you know, and I'm going to totally forget her name, but the girl who plays Elliot on Scrubs. Is that the

girl? I'm blanking on Scrub character names. Is that the Blanking on Hold on Scrub character names She's the main girl right Elliot's the main girl right Yeah Elliot is The main hold on I'm pulling it up

The main girl so she's Sarah Chalk or Sarah Chalk Yeah I would be that That's honestly a great casting. I would be super fucking down for that. Yeah, I think I actually crushed that casting, especially for you putting me on the spot

the way you did to snatch that one from the depths. All right, who would you pick? Because I don't know if he can beat that. I don't think I could. I don't think I could. Although, I'm going throw um another i'm gonna throw a a

left field answer at you here okay and i'm gonna go with um christine taylor i don't know who that is it's Ben Stiller's wife She's the mortgage Girl from Dodgeball Oh okay Yeah yeah yeah I'm going with Christine Taylor That's who I would pick What else is she in besides Dodgeball She's in The Wedding Singer

She's in That's right She's in Arrested Development For quite a bit That's a good casting too That's a good one That's who I'm going with is Marnie Alright

I'm going to go every other Because there's two girls Two girl characters and two male characters So For our first male character We have Toby. Toby! Dude, don't it? No!

No! Like, you know, the Michael Scott when he's yelling about Toby coming back? Or on New Girl, that episode where Schmidt almost gets in a car accident and the guy yells at him. He's like, I'm Toby! I'm Toby! I'm Toby.

I'm Toby. And so it's like, okay, it's great stuff. Anyways, Toby was a male in his thirties or forties. He's the coach of the quote unquote mind gym where the team goes to work on the mental aspects of hockey. Very smart and a bit odd with a sharp-eyed intensity very smart a bit odd okay the mind gym okay okay yeah yeah that's interesting so he's going to be. Okay. So he's going to be like a hockey shrink who is like analyzing the mental aspects of the game and is like a bit weird about it. Uh-huh. Just a, just a tad bit weird about it.

Just, but like, not like very, I bet it's like kind of like weird quirky, you know, like he's like a kind of some quirky weirdness all right so now who do we who do we think casts toby because this isn't i love that this is like a character in this right this is like modern day hockey institutes to have someone who works on like the mental iq of the or eq i guess it would be for these players Yeah you gotta keep that EQ up You know better than anybody Oh absolutely you know as a Former manager of people

You gotta have that high EQ Otherwise no one's gonna work for you Because they're all just gonna think you're a fucking prick They're not gonna want to do anything Anyways Okay They're not going to want to do anything Anyways Okay I'm trying to think of like So this says 30s or 40s

And it is going to be In the mind 30s to 40s okay Oh Jesus I'm thinking if you got one you go first So and I've just This is just going to, and I've just, this is just going to be because I've been binging this show like crazy, but the guy from psych, the guy that plays Sean on psych,

I've been rewatching that show a lot. It's it's the fucking most underrated show out there. Like speaking, it's like scrubs, but like if they were solving murder mysteries it is such a psych is legitimately my favorite tv show of all time shut the fuck up really yeah yeah oh my dude i have i have a psych pineapple like stress ball oh fucking amazing amazing yeah oh my god yeah james roday rodriguez that was who you're thinking of yes james roday and and who's the guy that plays gus burton guster oh duly hill from from westwing

dude duly hill duly hill is the fucking he's the man i fucking love duly hill so toby is one of those two like whichever way i like sean's character i like sean i like james roday i think he would be because he could do the he would nail the odd. He would nail the like just slightly odd. Yeah. But Gus is absolutely the best character of because like obviously Sean's the main

character and everything. But oh my gosh, Gus hits it out of the park. He's my absolute favorite character when they do the when they have the acapella group with Urkel and Ke keenan might be in that shit too keenan isn't that yeah for sure oh my god oh no way okay hold on wait hold on listen to this so i once again i've been binging psych for the past like three weeks uh fulton reed was just on there last night on an episode they did a summer camp like murder camp oh yeah yeah yeah yeah and yeah reed was on there last night on an episode. They did a summer camp, like murder camp.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. And Gordon Reed was on there. And man, you gotta love seeing those old ducks and shows like that. Just kind of like speaking of Psych. Sorry to get us back to Toby, but man, listeners, if you do not watch Psych, don't watch it. No, we're going on a Psych rant

though, because we're casting Psych people in all of these roles. so i'm taking back my marnie um my marnie move or my marnie casting and i'm giving it to maggie lawson oh yeah okay okay oh no no i think no hold that hold that casting because maggie lawson i think would make a good uh second female character when i describe her to you i don't know i don't know if maggie's jacked enough for that though oh that's true that's true okay uh anyways toby so toby i like james roday i like that that's solid um all right so wait hold on i guess we can get into rufus because Rufus might. Are you going to let me answer the question? I mean, I like yours, but I don't know if I would do it. I got excited. All right. All right. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry.

Jeez. Let's see. What's the what's the age bracket we're working with? How can I go? 30s to 40s. Oh, OK. 30s to 40 40s i'm not super pumped about how young that is yeah um james roday would be a little bit on the high side of that probably now i mean he could still pass for yeah for 40 for sure he has a youthful face yeah um well i was just saying we can't go Jon Voight that's not going to work Big Papa Voight Toby though James Brodea is such a good one

just a bit it's going to fall into psych again for sure but i i would go um i think i would go with care and i mean he's older i believe but i think he could still pass for 40 is uh i'm gonna butcher his last name carrie wools is that how you say it i don't know who is it he so for psych people he plays pierre despero everybody else would know him from robin hood men in tights and the princess bride though yeah the main character from now i think i think he could do it i think he would he would fucking nail it you you think he would make a good toby i think he'd be a solid toby he's probably yeah

he's definitely a little he's on the older side, but he could still pass. He could pass. Yeah, but you could, you could do forties or fifties for Toby, you know, that wouldn't, that wouldn't hurt.

That's, that's not bad. Oh man. What a, what a moment that we just had right there when we realized that we both love psych though, you, cause you don't,

you don't meet very many people that when you bring it up or just like, Oh fuck. Yes. That is such a good show so i i binge watch i like re-watch that all the time i psych's my my favorite show of all time duane hill and james verdue the best like sitcom duo of all time absolutely i said because like scrubs has always been like one of my favorite shows of all time and then when i stumbled upon psych it was just it's right up there it's right and new girl is up there too gotta gotta love some some

new girl but firefly you know i'll always love firefly even though it's one season god i love it i bought some like fan books on audible of firefly it's good stuff um all right so you know who else you know who else i would i i would love to see in this in the mighty ducks because i've been watching uh do you ever watch the righteous gemstones yes yes i just started watching it so i i don't he i don't he wouldn't be a very good toby he could probably nail rufus though he might be which not just not to spoil you yeah um but i'll tell you keep going i'll tell you when we get to rufus let's see what i'm gonna put for rufus okay i love that it just we could just switch the toby and rufus age bracket so we'll we'll end with the female so let's just jump into rufus rufus is

going to be our male in his 40s or 50s a chipper and energetic nutrition coach who loves his job and loves teaching kids how to eat healthy maybe a little too much and i know exactly where you're going with this i think so so she i don't know i hope so i'm i'm going with walter goggins wait what the why the adam divine it's right there for you it was right there for you that was no an awesome rufus a chipper and energetic nutrition coach he would it would be like andy in modern family it would be just like or it would be like his character in Pitch Perfect, too. It was right there for you, Brandon. All the characters you mentioned, I don't want in Mighty Ducks.

Oh, my God. Oh, my God. I can't. Adam Devine is from, he's a Nebraskan. So, you know, tread lightly because he's one of the, you know, one of the people from the home. Isn't he from Iowa? No. From Iowa? No, he...

From Iowa? Did you say that on purpose just to piss me off? No. I thought he was born in Iowa. No. He absolutely was not from Iowa, Brandon.

How dare. You need to consult Wikipedia because I just pulled it up. It said he was born in Waterloo, Iowa. Okay, but he grew up in Papillion. I don't care where he grew up. I'm saying where he was born. He's from Iowa. Technically, I am from Iowa because my birth.

I was born in Sioux City because my hometown is too small, but I'm a Nebraskan through and through. Just like Adam. Wait, where were you born? Sioux City, Iowa. Oh, my piece. See, this is we're learning so much. It's Leslie.

Yeah. It really is a Leslie. Nope. Situation. Well, listen, listen Brandon our hospital was very very small and so what you're saying is

Iowa is just a better no I am not saying that right now don't you don't try putting baby in a corner Brandon I'm going to win this one but Iowa's favorite son Adam Devine. I don't need this.

I not even. He will. He will. Listen, if we ever wanted to have him on the podcast, he just ruined it. I'll find whatever. But I'm going. I the person I want to play Rufus is Walter Gogginsins or walton goggins my apologies walton goggins who plays uh baby billy in righteous gemstones baby billy is such a good character dude the

song the song that he has with uh with his with the sister misbehaving that shit's a fucking banger, dude. I can't. Misbehaving. Misbehaving. So good. It is so good. Oh, that is such a good character. That's a good choice. That's who I want as Rufus, is Walton Goggins.

Okay. That actually is. I take back my outrage earlier, even though Adam Devine is still a better choice. I want Adam Devine to play one of the kids. I want him to play. I want Adam Devine to play a 13-year-old kid. That's what I want. Adam Devine already plays like this character. Remember the episode of

Workaholics when they do the Gaylord's Force where it's like the gay bodybuilders? You said you just started watching righteous gemstones right yeah yeah are you into season two yet no no because he he he he starts he starts like a bodybuilding uh church thing in righteous gemstones just like oh yes okay no spoilers brandon hold on the spoilers because i'm just i'm re-watching season one before i get into season two okay he was gonna watch it with me

thinking it was a comedy but like it's a dark comedy and it got a little too a little too dark for her when i started running people over so just just tell her to go watch the music video for Misbehavin'. She'll be fine. The video and the song are on YouTube. For anybody who has not heard that song, go search Misbehavin', Righteous Gemstones. It's going to be your new favorite song. It's a fucking banger, dude. Hey, you know what other HBO show has

just the best fucking soundtrack ever is Pe peacemaker. Have you started watching that? I haven't started watching that. Oh, it is. I am absolutely obsessed with it because you know me, I am a wrestling guy in John Cena.

We, you know, reprises his role from the newest suicide squad movie and is a huge piece of shit. And it's kind of like if Deadpool got a tv show and it is absolutely amazing uh what the soundtrack is epic uh love bomb baby is one of my new favorite songs okay i'll tell i'll no no oh dude go check out love bomb baby there's some just go check out pull up go to spotify and pull up the peacemaker soundtrack playlist do yourself a favor if you if you like 80s rock band

like rock band you know it's it is oh man it was everything it's not gonna be it's not gonna be as good as misbehaving but i'll give it a shot. It probably won't be, but it's right up there with some of those best soundtracks. Like Dazed and Confused. Dazed and Confused soundtrack. No one can at me on that being the best soundtrack ever. It's definitely top. Probably top ten. It's not the best ever, though.

It can't be the best over when you got fucking tarzan sitting there oh you are you are phil collins you know shout out that tarzan soundtrack it just lit a fire to the world yep or uh okay did you ever watch spirit horse of the cimarron yeah that's gotta that's that's fucking ryan adams. You're not going to get me excited about that one. But you know what soundtrack? Go re-listen to that soundtrack. That soundtrack is amazing. You know what soundtrack I listen to all

the time for work? All the time. What? Lord of the Rings. Yeah, I'm talking like Dude, the Lord of the Rings trilogy soundtrack for work? There's no bangers in there though you know i need a banger for work focus music i need a next level i need a banger i need

a bop and i need a jam all on soundtrack and i don't i don't know if it's doing that oh dude go check out peacemaker you got bangers you got bops you got you got a little bit of everything in there okay i'll give it a shot that's's a good one. You know what other, um, yeah, anyway, sorry. Who's your Rufus? Give us your Rufus. Sorry. Um, um, you, Oh, you know who, you know who I have for Rufus? Kevin James. Chipper energetic nutrition coach. I see Kevin James when he did his

stand-up of like, yeah, I peeled an orange about an hour ago. Why? Okay. Interesting. He just loves teaching them. Maybe a little too much, even though he may not always follow his own advice. Interesting.

Speaking of a lot better shape now, here comes the boom. Speaking of Kevin James, did you know he is in a movie that comes out? I think, I think it'll be out by the time the podcast drops. He's in a movie with our boy, Nick,

the stick. It's called, it's called home team i think it's about oh yeah yeah yeah yeah where he he's on peacock isn't it is it already out yeah it's okay i thought i saw it okay yeah but yeah nick the sticks in that with kevin oh we might have to if we if we decide we we will break into game changers uhangers, we might be able to do that one. I don't know, dude. No offense to Nick the Stick, but it looks like a god-awful movie.

All right, well, then we'll pass. Maybe we'll do... Is there a way we could... We could maybe do it. I don't know. That might be one of the movies where I just can't even sit through it, though. Is anyone in Here Comes the Boom

where he is a teacher-turned-UFC fighter in the most believable tropes of all time i i would be perfectly fine if we never talk about kevin james again all right we'll move on we don't need to be that mean to him i hope i hope i hope he's not rufus i just that was that probably wasn't a good guess but honestly can I I'll go back and say Adam Devine and then we'll just move on because that's who it should be okay all right so then to to round it out we have Jackie a female in her 30s or 40s and the incredibly jacked strength and conditioning coach she's tough and challenges the kids but has a sensitive side before we move on to jackie i'm still a little mad at you about

trying to leslie nope me and adam divine with this whole eagleton pawnee nebraska iowa situation but i just need to get over it and move on. But I am still upset with you, Brandon. I didn't Leslie Nope you. You guys Leslie Noped yourself. Don't you fucking Leslie Nope us, Brandon. We'll come after you, man. Anyways. I'm just saying

you are both from Iowa. Anyways, we have Jackie Brandon, a female in her thirties and forties, thirties or forties. Sorry. I should have said that. The incredibly jacked strength and conditioning coach. She's tough and challenges the kids, but she has a sensitive side. Okay. the kids but she has a sensitive side okay this is hard because i try to think of someone who's like

super jacked that would also have a sensitive side um you know trying to think of that off the top of your head yeah i'm trying to think i keep thinking ronda rousey but it's just because uh you know she just came back in the royal rumble uh i was gonna say her too really oh nice yeah just because my default for like super jacked ladies is just to think ufc fighter yeah or wrestlers you know her and becky lynch oh could we get doesn't sasha banks is in the mandalorian right maybe we get sasha in here oh nice yeah okay a little sasha bank she's got that she's got the acting chops you could do it yeah yeah okay sasha banks i like that one that's good that's oh that's

good brandon dang okay i'm trying to think of like who else would i can't i can't think of i don't know i can't think of anyone who's jacked off the top of my head i mean they don't have to be super jacked i mean someone who's she's not a bodybuilder she's a nutrition coach right or what is no she's strength strength condition okay but she's not like a bodybuilder you know dude you know who i want to say but she's not a real person is the sister from and uh from uh incanto right did i say that right oh the the animated movie yeah the new disney movie the sister from there that's you know that's who that's who i want to pick if if we could turn if we could turn her into a real person that'd be the

perfect jack who who does who does her voice just cast her i don't know i have no idea i we didn't prepare we didn't like prepare for this we're doing this off the cuff i just i mean come on a little professionalism she sings a real fucking banger in that movie too which which because i haven't seen the movie which which what's the character's name um i gotta pull it i gotta pull it up because i i know uh stephanie uh and i'm gonna beatriz luisa luisa luisa so luisa is voiced by Jessica Darrow. She could probably do it. She's in great shape. Yeah. Yeah.

Jessica Darrow. What else is she in? Oh, wow. She's not a lot. She does she did uh voice acting in grand theft auto 5 though okay okay that's tight um yeah she looks like a yeah she's real fit she could she could be a strength and conditioning coach yeah i don't know but like you know that character louisa she would be jessica darrow there we go yeah lock it in heath that's the lock it lock it that's uh jackie jackie yeah jackie yeah so there you go the new cast uh that's the adults wait hold on we have the two kids

i'm not gonna have any idea on who to cast for these kids. We won't guess. Yeah, I have no idea. As shocking as it may seem, Heath, I am not up to date on teenage actors. Yeah, the only youthful actors that I know are the ones Although, I will go ahead and say whichever the first kid is, Adam Devine's my choice.

God, it's... Give me Adam Devine and give me, as the first kid, giveine And give me as the first kid Give me Anders Holm As the second kid Lock those in Alright Did you lock it in Heath?

Lock it in I'm not locking Adam Devine has officially hit Too old to play a teenager No that doesn't exist Have you seen This isn't Saved by the Bell, Brandon. You've seen those baby soft

cheeks he's got? He could pass as a 15-year-old. Oh, this is not fucking Saved by the Bell, dude. This isn't the first Power Rangers. Those baby soft Iowa cheeks, dude. He's got it. Oh, my God. Okay. All right. So, the first character that I'm going to read, just so it kind of plays... Whatever. We'll do the most important one, I think, I'm going to read just so it kind of plays

whatever. We'll do the most important one, I think, which is going to be Ryder Cole, which I feel like we can assume is going to be the son of Josh Duhamel's character. Gavin Cole? Gavin Cole and Ryder Cole. Yeah, Gavin and Ryder. It's Ryder with a

Y too, right? Yeah, Ryder with a Y. Fucking prick. Alright, and so the site I got this from says it's a 15-year-old male of white or mixed half-white ethnicity, a rebellious stud with a bad boy. That's in the character

description? Yeah, the character description. It says a 15-year-old male of white or mixed half-white ethnicity. That's very specific and um a rebellious stud with a bad boy attitude once a hockey phenom a recent meltdown from the intense pressure has caused a glitch in his shot and made him hate the game he used to love he has no interest in being part of the hardcore hockey institute that his father runs oh yeah so this is his son right in the description okay yep yep there we go just a

real rebellious son okay so he's gonna be oh and he's got a glitch in his shot do you think he comes in uh do we you think we get a love triangle with Sophie? Ooh, a little Sophie, Evan, Ryder love triangle. No. She goes for the bad boys? Oh, see, I think that Sophie goes for this next character, not Ryder. I think Ryder would be more like Maya. I think Ryder goes Maya because I think this next person goes to Sophie.

Okay. Do you want me to introduce the next kiddo? Yes. With Andra's home. This is Shane Lawrence. And Shane is a 16-year-old male. Lawrence is a godlike teen athlete with a great smile and great hair who is only interested in himself. This superstar player is the socially awkward Coob's intimidating roommate

for the summer. Okay. And that says recurring guest star, right? Yep. That says recurring guest star Ryder is the series regular right Yep so that means that Shane episodes only come up

Every so often So I think it's safe to assume that at the end Of this Ryder is going to be a duck Yeah And Shane probably not Nope nope Shane maybe comes from Out of state yeah okay. Okay. You know, that's when I feel like maybe Shane comes in from out of state.

He's super intimidating. He's just this next generation athlete. You know, he's, he's LeBron. That would, that would make sense for to have him be the love triangle then because then he's, he's gone at the end yeah exactly okay okay so i see that the shame i can see the shame and evan and sophie triangle a quick message from our friends at Broken Forest Collective.

I'm going to recast M. Hane as Barney.

Who's M. Hane? What's she on? She's the actress that plays Winnie. Oh, damn. Oh, damn. Oh, God. Brandon. Brandon. No. I think I won the casting game.

Don't blame me, okay? Disney made me do this. They forced my hand here. They backed me into a goddamn corner with their bullshit, you know, fucking safety fucking casting and then blackmailing emilio i'm not i'm not here for it he's not here for it uh you know i don't think you won the casting i think you and uh your your iowa bud adam divine ruined it for you oh wow well don't i I think I want it, though, with Maggie, Walter. Walton Goggins wins it, hands down, dude.

He's the best person to cast for Rufus. You tried to cast Kevin James. Get out of here, dude. I just watched this Kevin kevin james uh sitcom on netflix where they were like a pit crew for nascar it was so bad i loved it it was awesome it was just so awesomely bad and and one and done when it ended on a on like a cliffh I think, and it is not coming back. Yeah. Get out of here with your Kevin James bullshit, dude.

Oh, wow, dude. The James Roday casting, though? We had that great. That's great. So we'll put our you Leslie noping me aside and we'll focus on that really beautiful bond we had over psych. Yeah. I love that show.

That's just hands down the best show. So good. Yeah. And now they have three movies too. So I actually have not seen any of the movies. I need to either of us, either of us. I'm re I'm that's why I'm binging back so I can rewatch the movies

afterwards. Yeah. Those are watching that show. So good though they're like spoof episodes oh the so spot on the everything's there i think it's either season six or season seven when they do the spoof episode of twin peaks oh yeah that dual spires that dual spires hands down my favorite episode of tv ever oh i do because i i'm a i'm a sucker for twin peaks too i fucking love twin peaks well did you go to tweets cafe while you

lived in seattle then oh yeah absolutely that was like the first thing i did oh dude uh piece of pie and a damn fine cup of coffee yeah oh dude i always do every time too because there was some good hiking up there and like we went on one of those hikes and it was so, oh, it was so awesome. And then you go to tweets cafe, get a nice omelet. And I would always get a piece of pie and ice piece of cherry pie and ice cream for dessert with my breakfast. Nice. Yeah.

Every time. Yeah. But yeah, so, so that, that's a dog's groom there one time, actually took the dogs for grooming while I went on a hike and then got some breakfast. It was great. It's a nice little day. Nice little Monday. Nice little Monday in North Bend, Washington.

We can wrap up the recurring characters and we can quickly transition um because we've probably got an absurd rants for too long we did we got like we got carried away on this one boy we went off the rails but really quick we've got to talk about what i have dubbed you know the graveyard you know the the we are the the obituaries of some some characters potentially yeah this is just what this is these are not confirmed these are not confirmed this is hypotheses character details and joshua mills casting confirmed those are good to go these yeah now based on those and based on how we assume with the summer camp and everything Stuff is going to go Context clues

It does not leave a lot of room For some of our favorite characters Let's kick it off with Terry Yeah so Terry and maybe even MJ I would assume They bring MJ to the camp, right? But why would they bring her?

She's not playing. Yeah, she's not playing. Why would they bring her to the camp? And same with Nick's mom's, dude. I see Terry, MJ, Nick's mom's. Yeah. We're not going to get any parents. The only parents that I think will show up are going to be –

Lauren Graham is for sure going to be there. I don't know how they – if it's a going away like sleepover camp i don't know how they work lauren graham into this but they're going to because she's the big ticket he'll think they'll do like he'll like text her and call her and to check in and stuff and she's gonna be she's gonna be more involved than that you yeah you think she'll? She'll maybe volunteer. Maybe they have parent volunteers that come with. That's actually... Then you get Stephanie in there, too.

Yeah, her and Stephanie are parent volunteers. Yep, I think that's the most logical way to go about that. Because, yeah, you can't... You have to have Lauren Graham in there. Stephanie falls for Rufus and gets over Clarkark the douche

uh i mean that depends on who if if we've casted your your insane idea of kevin james as rufus i don't want stephanie can do way better than that if we do if we do adam divine as rufus or james roday as toby she could go either one of those. Win-win. I'd be down. Stephanie and a James Roday love relationship. I'd be down for that. That'd be good.

And then, of course, Lauren Graham and Josh Duhamel, they're going to bone. Yeah. They have to. They have to. They will fall in love, I'm sure. But so that's for the parents. They have to. They will fall in love, I'm sure. But so that's for the parents. But other than that, Nick's parents, we're probably not going to get

from. Same with Logan's dad. Is it Logan's dad? Yeah, Logan's sad dad. He better. Sad dad. He's gotten his shit together by now. So we're probably not going to get a lot from them Also MJ and Terry

We might not Hopefully they pop up Like maybe they come so what I'm assuming With the camp is They're going to go to the camp and the camp Is going to play They're going to play games right Yeah so they're going to play

Scrimmages and they're going to split up into teams. No, no, no, no, no. I guarantee you they play other teams. Like, well, they do that in camps. Like your team that you play on throughout camp. No, I'm talking. They're going to play other camps.

Oh, gotcha. Okay. Okay. They're going to play other camps and trout, like other traveling teams. I would imagine. Right. Okay. Okay. You're not going to other camps and trout like other traveling teams. I would imagine. Right. Okay. You're not going to go the whole season just playing within, you know, well, I don't know. Maybe maybe I mean

they went the whole third movie just playing for it. No, they played other teams. Yeah, they played other teams. They're going to play other teams. We'll see. So my my wishfulness is that when they play either a when they play the scrimmage games or when they play the other teams MJ and Terry show up

I'm hoping for that it's not going to happen but why wouldn't it happen you need you need somebody to commentate on it who are you going to get to who are you casting as the new commentator Heath then you have to have a commentator maybe you're right maybe

MJ does somehow make it to hockey camp because there's also neighbor. It's like the neighbor to broadcasting camp. Pod camp. Dude. Pod camp. For all those future podcasters out there. Oh, wait, hold on.

Before we get too far to speaking of kisses of death coach t do you think coach t i mean he there's no unless he's unless he unless he's like a rival teacher maybe like he goes to a rival hockey institute minnesota to teach i don't know but yeah coach coach t is probably donezo. Winnie is probably donezo, at least for this season, because they're not going to be at the Ice Palace. No offense, Brandon, but you're probably the only person really

broken up about Winnie. And I'm prepared to die on that hill alone. I'm prepared for that. That hill, real life, we're all dying alone. Exactly. prepare for that you know that hill real life you know we're all dying alone exactly but yeah they're not gonna be at the ice palace so when he

is probably out out skis there maybe she maybe it like if Emilio comes back for season three maybe she comes to maybe you go back to the ice palace um yeah if we ever return to the Ice Palace And Winnie and Bombay in season 3 That would be dope

That would be fantastic But if we lose Terry And Winnie In the same fucking Right before the same season I'm going to riot We're going to have to Have some serious tissue donations As you weep softly through this season, too.

I can handle losing one of them. I can handle one, but not both. Not both. It's too much. Yeah. Too great of a burden to bear. I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. Oh, man.

Do you have any other theories? We really went off the rails in this episode, but I feel like it's great stuff. My main theories are Josh Duhamel and Lauren Graham fuck. That's the first one. So aggressive, dude.

She's so aggressive to so aggressive to I don't know to to is the second one is that Bombay comes back for season three they bring yeah this all

culminates with Bombay back in season three i love it i think that's a great one what are those are my two main theories what about you yeah i mean i feel like it's it's it's right there for the Shane Evan Sophie love triangle. Like I love that one. Except they mentioned that he's Coob's roommate. So there's going to be, I don't know. Well, it's because he's, what did it

say? He was outgoing and yeah, he's like, he's a god like teen athlete, but I love that they did a standalone for this to like, instead of like having to write out and like really, they took the easy way out and it's going to work for it to just do like a standalone camp,

summer camp type of situation and like having all the different quirky fun coaches interacting with them, like hockey camp in the summer, like it'd be good stuff. It's definitely, it's, it's the safest and it's the safest and probably the smartest way to handle this because it, yeah, like you said, it, it lets, it leaves them the option to keep it contained to what, like a one season off and then if everything you know if they the stars align and they can convince bombay to come back

then season three you can pick up where you were gonna pick up um before and it also leaves an easy avenue to reintroduce some some more ducks again or like different ducks that maybe weren't in season one like if they get charlie if they get keenan so that's they get julie the cat you know if they get some of those guys like there's still opportunity for that too that's my third theory prediction is keenan's gonna show up in the season keenan will show up yeah 100 well i i think he does too russ tyler sure. I would, yeah, it'll be interesting to see how they do it, given it's a summer camp. There's a whole bunch of different ways you can

bring him in. He knows them from playing. He knows them through knowing Bombay. There's a lot of different stuff. I guarantee you. Minnesota Hockey Institute, you get Charlie to come in and talk to the kids. like there's a lot of different stuff like yeah i guarantee you i get minnesota hockey institute like you get charlie to come in and talk to the kids you know yeah i guarantee you

josh dumail's character is there it'll be the same thing they did with coach orion for d3 it'll be you know bombay's old buddy you know he's got he's Josh Duhamel's character and Bombay will have been friends at some point or played together where there's going to be a connection to Bombay for sure. And so, yeah, maybe. So that's how you bring in Keenan. And I don't know if I don't know if Charlie is going to show up this season. I know he wants to. I know that I think it was Connie Marguerite Monroe that I think it was one of her interviews. She did a little bit ago that she said that she's talked to Joshua Jackson

and he definitely wants to be a part of it in some way. Yeah. But I don't know if they, I don't know if it happens this season. I feel like if you're going to bring, if you bring Charlie back and he doesn't get to see bombay it's gonna be anticlimactic yeah it's gonna be a bit of a waste yeah it's a waste of a reunion so i think i think you bring keenan back for sure at least if not some of the like you can bring connie back

and gee back and all the people that have already come back for sure yeah it's easy to bring them back but i think you could introduce a couple new ones. I think Keenan for sure is going to be in the season. At the absolute minimum, they're going to mention him. Yeah. But yeah. It'll be

interesting. I'm not super thrilled with the way it's going just because it's all, because like It's just It's all Hey you lose Bombay You lose

You lose me I had So much more fun Doing these Faked castings Than we probably will Breaking down The actual movie

You know Or show Or TV show I guarantee you They've already Because production starts In February next Or So it's been cast For a minute I guarantee you they've already Because production starts in February So it's been cast for a minute

I guarantee you they've already cast these roles We just haven't heard about it So it's going to be My apologies to those people who have been cast But you're going to be a letdown compared to what I came up with You know Or more importantly what I came up with Yeah

If you weren't born in Iowa and you get cast in this movie, just leave. Just leave. If you Leslie note me one more time before the fucking end of this episode, I'm going to drive to Atlanta and we're going to have some, we're going to have some words, Brandon. We're going to have a talk. All right, let's do it. Bring your Iowa buddy, Adam Devine, divine and we'll we'll hash this out

maybe that's how we maybe that's how we get him maybe that's how we get him on the podcast so he can defend his nebraskanness he is a nebraskan through and through just like myself well yeah sure sure oh god okay all right do you have anything else to say about game changes I'm shocked it took this long but we really went off the rails with our with our casting you got anything else for the listeners out there I don't think so

millions just like the so the casting they're wrapping up right now production starts in February from what i've read um looking at a september november launch yeah so fall maybe maybe they push it to uh like um like january or february of next year like a little christmas launch maybe yeah somewhere in there they unlike the first episode has a little bit of holiday flair to it i don't know if they'd want to push it to if they're doing like a summer camp well but i guess

it is it's hockey so if you even if it's like a summer camp you could still it's still a winter sport so you can throw it in the fall you know yeah it's a summer camp they couldn't do a christmas episode yeah christmas in july your favorite there There you go. I would expect a fall release. A fall release. Makes sense. Maybe if they can do September, it'll still feel like summer where I'm at, but maybe not

other places in the world. Yeah. But, you know, looking forward to it, it'll be I just I I'm gonna riot if Terry and and when you're gone I'm gonna fucking be prepared to riot but

I know strap on that right you know it's it's happening I kind of want to reach out to Mark and ask him have you did you did you get recast Mark he can neither confirm nor deny that right now. I know.

I don't want to I don't want to I don't want to breach his professionalism. I need to prepare myself. I need to know so I can prepare myself for hard work. Thanks for listening, everyone.
