It's not worth winning if you can't win! Welcome back everybody to the Cake Eaters podcast, your definitive Muddy Ducks podcast. My name is Brandon. I've got my co-host Heath with me. Woo! Brandon, in the building. There you go. And so today we're going a little left field here. We figured we would give everybody a little introduction to the newest member of the Muddy Ducks family, Josh Duhamel. Oh yeah. member of the mighty ducks family josh dumel oh yeah so today's episode we're talking about his uh 2019 uh i'm gonna call it his his magnum opus because not only did he direct it and write

it and produce it but he also stars in it this is this is josh dumel we're so we figured this would be a good little first introduction for everybody to josh gmail and boy heath this this is a movie let me tell you this is a movie about friendship this is a movie about rising from the ashes this is a movie about never giving up and never quitting and honestly a movie about true man-to-man friendship bonds unbreakable bonds heath okay and i'm gonna give you a spoiler heath right off the bat here okay okay i did i did not care for this movie at all hard pass brandon that eloquent and beautiful speech had me in silent stitches for a good minute because this hour and 37 movie minutes was the biggest waste of time I have had in a very, very long time. I have a lot of TV mileage right now, a lot of things going on,

a lot of things in my cues. Okay. Let me me just let me just give you a little sampling of what's going on day to day in the heath tv watching realm i've got bojack horseman going on in netflix which is an absolute masterpiece if people are not into that it is are you are you watching that for the first time are you re-watching it i'm watching it for the first time i don't know where i was on this but like you know kelly and i are are in season two and it is just an absolute masterpiece favorite character easily mr peanut butter oh yeah mr peanut butter uh fantastic which is steels what is this a crossover episode i say that all the time when it doesn't make sense. And I get yelled at. That doesn't make any sense.

What is this? A crossover episode. BoJack Horseman is solid though. Yeah. I'm surprised you're, you're so late on the, on the, are they still making that? I don't know if there's no,

I, the series is over. I am super fucking late on that show. Super late. I was all about it when it first came out i think i watched the first three seasons like right as they all came out um and then i kind of fell off i think there's like four or five right there's six six okay yeah that's so i haven't watched the whole thing yeah we're we're powering through so so that's netflix okay so hbo

max i've got two shows going here i've got peacemaker you know i told you i'm digging peacemaker john cena finally turned heel he is a huge piece of shit um and his dad is like the speaking of which he do uh not to cut you off here but speaking john cena going to heal did you see the production company for a buddy games here? WWE studios. This is a, this is a world wrestling entertainment production. And that makes perfect sense.

Are you familiar with the WWE film franchises? Brandon? The only one I know is the Marine. Those, those God awful Marine movies. Yeah. And they do not get better from there. Let me just, let me just tell you that clearly this,

I would rather watch the Marine than buddy games. That's for sure. Yeah. Oh, just it. Yeah. They do not do well. You know, they cater to a certain audience and that's it. And that's a very, you know, I feel like that's a very of stereo stereotypical wrestling audience but anyway so peacemaker though i i we've already talked about this but then in righteous gemstones i'm just about done with season one doing the rewatch there to jump into season two so no spoilers but i'm super fired up about that um and then on peacock

righteous gemstones the first season's yes solid gold i know i know i know i know we specifically talked about this i think multiple times before but misbehaving greatest song oh my god and how it's just dude baby billy is the best swimming in the creek just two country kids out misbehaving oh man like and we did you call it did you you didn't grow up in a small town we called it a creek too like the logan creek yeah that's uh man my mom it would yell at me she's like it's great don't you sound like a heck mama d didn't put up with that bullshit yeah mama d was right listen listen to your mom wait hold on but is it kelvin he's the best character like the old satanist is that his name kelvin what's

his oh shoot i'm blanking on it right now the old satanist yeah the adam divine's buddy oh yeah oh the yeah okay the former satanist when he said old satanist i was like picturing the old man that's a no sorry sorry former satanist yeah he's he did he's solid with his yeah all his freaking stupid ass tattoos i just okay okay so that's that's hbo max okay and then now i've also got shows on peacock know, I'm the Royal rumble just happened. So I kind of am like going back through rewatching all the Royal rumbles that can soak up a lot of time. I kind of do that while I'm like cooking and like, you know, cleaning the kitchen and,

you know, like maybe doing like a quick run of the vacuum, you know, with like a boring match. I also do a lot of fast forwarding there. Like you can, you can fast forward through the first 10 minutes of two guys that you don't give a shit about and hit the last five and you're solid. Yeah. The only, you only need the end for the Royal rumble. Well, I like to watch the whole Royal rumble, the first matches. I'll maybe fast forward, but, but then,

and then also psych going back through psych so I can watch the movies Man and you know that's just You know what we didn't talk about enough about When we talked about psych last time Brandon Is the theme song Oh yeah a fantastic theme song Like we did not talk enough About it it's a theme song that I listen

To every time I do not hit Skip intro not once Because you never know like on the theme episodes like yeah they do the remixes yeah oh the remit the spanish remix is this one's good the twin peaks remix is fantastic oh that yes where it gets like the spooky music the acapella i know we talked about that episode before oh it really is the best one when they sing it. It just, we jam it, you know, like we, we jam when it comes on. So anyways, I'm watching all of that stuff. And then I took, yeah, go ahead.

Well, yeah, you wait, you wasted all this time. All that time. Yeah. All that time. That's a lot of TV. I've got like up my sleeve, not to mention I'm trying to, you know, I'm listening to some audio books at the same time too. I'm listening to the Witcher before I watch it on Netflix, you know i'm listening to some audiobooks at the same time too i'm listening to the witcher

before i watch it on netflix you know like so i've got that whole thing going on too and so i take an hour and 37 minutes out of that time for just this fucking dog shit sandwich of a movie brandon and even it pissed me off kind of you know i'm not going to lie. When we decided to do this game or do this movie before I watched... Not a fun game. Before I watched the trailer or anything, I got instantly...

My ears peaked up. Perked up. My ears perked up? Yeah, perked up. Yeah, they perked up. Instantly. Because it has a very strong connection to Psych. We have Sean Spencer

as Zane in James Roday Rodriguez. Yes. And so I was like, if anybody can save this movie, it's James Roday. He gave it a valiant effort, but he did not save it. He did not

save it. I hated this movie. His character was by far the best one, though, and he had some great some great like little fucking scenes where it was just him that were the best like when josh dumelo calls him and he's on a kid's playground doing the workout equipment like that was that and then and then his little like uh shows him like training for the games again and he's running through the woods and he steals a football and punts it from a kid that was great. And then his little, like, shows him, like, training for the games again. And he's running through the woods, and he steals a football and punts it from a kid. That was great.

Yes. That was fantastic. That was good, too. Yeah. And then when they're in the bar scene, and Nick Swartzen's, like, trying to egg him on to do his special dance move. He's like, bro, it's not a dance move, dude. It's not a dance move. It's art.

Hey, it's art. And the execution was absolutely great and like like we can just the the bar scene for the listeners we can just like dig into this for a second because it was ridiculous is wild the bar scene is wild so like they're they're playing these buddy games and then bar scene, they have to chug a bottle of – Yeah, well, so – I guess we'll jump into the breakdown soon, right? A real quick breakdown of what the buddy games are, essentially. The buddy games, it's individual competitions between – what is it?

There's six of them or seven of them, something like that, of this group of friends. They do a bunch of – I think there was like 10 competitions all throughout a weekend, right? Yeah. You add up the points. The top three people after the ninth competition go to the final competition, and then you get the winner, right? So one of the events that they did was they went to a bar, the Spread Eagle. I didn't notice that. But there was a country bar exactly like that in Spring spring Texas, just like 10 minutes from my house.

And one time me and my buddy, we got, we, I had a pool in my backyard and we got like blackout drunk by the pool and then went to the country bar. And we were like in like, you know, band t-shirts and hats. I was like, you know, 20 and people asked us if we were tripping on mushrooms because they we we just were in there just hanging out grooving because we were just housed anyway sorry that was a random random tangent but you know sometimes those country bars are fun man like they really are like you can just you can just groove and get down and no one gives a shit they just think you're tripping on mushrooms yeah so they're solid solid fun yeah just so that just don't be a fucking yankee in there you know if you're in the south but uh but so that the event where they go to the spread eagle

they all have to drink a little bottle of laxatives and then try to get so you had to get a girl to buy you a drink dance with you and then kiss you on the mouth before you shit your pants because why obviously obviously why wouldn't that be a game yeah that's i dare listeners to go out to a bar try this and record it that's that's that's a dare for our listeners i don't i don't don't record it because i'm not not going to watch it. No, that's true. I do not want to see that in real life. That would be disgusting. Yeah.

But this, this scene is absolutely ridiculous. And it has this, a bunch of good one-liners. It's Nick. So, so Nick Swartzen is also in this movie. He plays Dixon Bender. So many, so many Dick and ball and boob jokes, even in the names, like his name is Dixon Bender So many Dick and ball and boob jokes Even in the names like his name is Dixon Bender then you have Shelly

Shelly's last name is like Dick Bender or Dick Banger Yeah it's Dick Banger Dick Banger Even in the names They couldn't even get through the names Without a fucking dick joke Yeah we'll talk about nick

swartzen because i've got mixed feelings i know i yeah i james roday is the only i mean we can talk about it now like what like i am nick swartzen is grandma's boy that role he fucking crushes that role when he talks about like oh yeah it's my roommates it's his parents and he has the race car bed uh you know like at that role he is fucking hilarious everything else hard pass like i'm just okay on it i guess just go with it too i don't know if you ever watched that adam sandler jennifer aniston hit uh but he's somewhat tolerable in that movie but also the worst part of it yeah i nick swartzen i'm not a huge fan of yeah uh kevin dylan's a dude from entourage i could i i don't care for i mean i

don't i don't dislike him he's just you know, you know. He's the worst part of Entourage. Yeah, he's fine in There's Something About Mary, right? Isn't he in that? I think so, yeah, yeah. Yeah, he's fine in there. Dax is okay in small doses. Dax Shepard, he's also in this movie. He's okay in small doses. Do you ever watch the Hot Ones show?

Yeah. Him and Kristen Bell both have really great hot ones episodes so i i enjoy kristen bell yeah she's great individually i am neither here nor there on dax shepherd individually them together get them out of my fucking face well because they're like just way too couple-y they're that couple that like tries to it just everything feels so forced and fake they try too hard yeah but like they they're yeah i just i don't care for it i'm gonna get a lot of hate for this i don't care for their dynamic as a couple i think wow i i don't i wouldn't be shocked if it was i wouldn't be

shocked if it was a completely fake You know stunt relationship I would I'm all for that conspiracy I'm starting I don't even think that's a conspiracy Starting it right now It's a fake relationship It's all for the views it's all for the gram Dude I love Kristen Bell don't make her hate

Our podcast man like that's I don't know I don't know if i like where you're going with this like listen you can hate on dax all you want like he got famous through punked which is hilarious to me but like kristen bell is a treasure brandon she's individually she is individually oh my gosh she's just when you put her when you put her with dax though it's just there's do you know you know there's just there's You know there's just Some couples whose vibe is just off That's them with me

I don't buy it Some couples are weird Kelly and I are a weird couple It's fine They come off disingenuous though Dax and Kirsten Anyway Josh Duhamel I am neither here nor there he i

thought he was solid and transformers uh realizing he was the brainchild behind this movie makes him not makes me not like him it makes me incredibly scared about game changers season two now i okay so i have a josh jumel story here because i am an avid podcast listener to the Ringer guys. Like, I'm a big Ringer fan. And Ryan Russillo randomly in his podcast last week was telling about his, like, bro friendship with Josh Duhamel. And that's when, like, this movie made a lot more sense because Ryan's kind of like a meathead, like, lifter guy, you know? Love his podcast. Love him to death. Like, his life advice bit is fucking hilarious. made a lot more sense because ryan's kind of like a meathead like lifter guy you know love his podcast love him to death like his life advice bit is fucking hilarious with kyle creighton and

sir rudy but um him and josh dumel have like a loose friendship or like hey man i'm going to a party and he'll be like all right cool sorry i can't make it i'm doing all this Really cool hot actor guy Shit you know but I just I don't know man This movie really Fucking and it was a Directorial debut what a Pile of dog shit Was it his debut I didn't see it

Yeah that's the only fun fact On the IMDB page Singular fun fact I just I don't know man it just it was it was like you as well maybe it was just like the worst kind of like bro comedy ever like just the worst kind and like even middle like middle school heath maybe would have appreciated this for like a minute it would have gotten its its run with some of the dumb shit they did. His only writing credit, so writing debut as well. Wow, Josh.

I mean, not to pick on you, but you really dropped the ball on this one. But yeah. And then you got Dan Bacadal, the dude who plays Shelly. Yeah. What is he? And I only remember him from his super small role in community which seasons one and two of community awesome everything else is fine i honestly don't remember him and anything ever at all but i hated him in this movie oh absolutely

that anyone else playing that character it might have been a savable movie i fucking yeah they they needed somebody else um yeah he was just fit absolute worst fit for that character i wrote in my notes right after his wife shoots him in the ball sack with the with the bb gun and then it just it wasn't bb gun it was a paintball gun paintball gun my phone got a paintball gun and then it just like cuts to black I wrote down in my notes I kind of hope he died Well he was like It's like

She was way too hot for him To begin with right And like he was just And he was like the worst kind of Douchebag anyways so I don't know It was sad that he lost both of his nuts but at the same time

that guy fucking sucked he had it coming and A what do you get for rubbing your nuts on people's foreheads your whole life and that was the other thing that I like just because like I get they're like

I don't know I get they're like a you know like a sense of manhood or whatever, but they, they treated him losing both of his balls as if somebody had legitimately killed him. It's like, dude, you're, you're still alive. Yeah. You're fine. You're fine, bro. You're fine. Yeah. I just, you losing, you losing both balls should not be that traumatic of a fucking incident

i just i don't know i just hated this movie i hated everything about it i it was like it literally brandon i paused it at the halfway point at the halfway point i paused it and went mother fuck like how do i still have 45 fucking minutes in this dog shit i i paused this movie at least five or six times being like how much longer how much longer i started doing other things i'm not gonna lie like i did i did like the few dishes i had for breakfast in the morning you know what i mean like i started swept the kitchen real quick it's not very big but i swept it really quick. You know, I just, I was kind of doing some exercising stuff with the kettlebell, you know,

messing, messing with the cat. Kelly's not here. So he needs an, like the cat means more attention than I have the ability to give it just, I've never seen a cat like this before yeah that's like the the opposite of what you get a cat for exactly like it took me like two years to figure out like okay it's he's not messing with me this cat is just the neediest fucking thing i've ever seen my life i wake up this morning to like all of a sudden i was like wait what's going on because there was a cat head in my beard because i woke up to him just like diving in to be the little spoon and he was rubbing his face in my beard and i woke up to cat hair in my mouth there you go yeah what better way to wake up like

yeah it's i mean it's fine and it's adorable but it was 5 30 a.m on the weekend so you know i i just i would prefer a little bit later wake up call you know i don't sleep in but fuck 7 a.m at least on the weekend come on so anyway sorry about that random side tangent i've just if you can't tell i was feeling it sometimes we have to lock him out of the room because he'll just he yeah it's right in your fucking face i feel you i have to deal with flapjack too you know he just gets he he he needs to be as close to you as possible at all times and sometimes it's just like dude you gotta take a breather well he's really jenkins is like that too but jenkins is the size of flapjack's head so that's true i'm taking up space in the bed is fine

flapjack weighs 95 pounds. He's a big boy. Jenkins weighs 12. The only thing you have to worry about with the dogs is Josie and her just endless snoring. It sounds like sometimes Kelly's like, hey, you're snoring.

I'm like, it wasn't me. I'm awake. It's Josie. She's just sitting there just going it's unreal sounds like a fucking jet taking off sometimes anyways all right what were we talking about this terrible movie let's get back get back to the movie are you still doing the breakdown what were we talking about the bar scene are we still in the bar scene are we in the breakdown we we were talking about characters and how how unlikable they are i'm just so mad at this movie that i'll talk about anything else right now brandon that's what i do right now i do all right let's get back

to it i do want to give it i want to give everybody listening more of a synopsis on this movie yeah okay yeah give it give it a full run through and then i also want to talk about olivia munn for just five seconds yeah okay that's about how long she's in this movie as well yeah five seconds great role but so so the movie starts off right it's it's uh five years previous and these are these are childhood friends a group of childhood friends all the characters we talked about they're having a party at josh jumel's lake house yes and apparently every single year they do this thing called the buddy games which i broke down it's like nine events ten events whatever um just between them they all i love how they all had their their eat their own individually colored jersey with a number on it yeah that was a nice touch

it made it easier to tell them apart when the games were going yeah um but so every year they crown a winner the for this the one that's going previous five years ago uh shelly wins are my my favorite character shelly he wins for i think they say like the sixth time in a row something like something like that um and then he he goes on like a real dickish like celebrating his his win streak whatever he teabagged the dude for roughly five minutes of the movie it's a five minute tea bag scene that's way too goddamn long like and like did that guy had to have like mixed some meds with his booze to be that kind of passed out you know they said he did they said he did absence um oh okay okay yeah maybe he was out but maybe a little xanax and some absent that'll that'll put you to to bed real quick yeah but so

so way too long of a t-bag scene um and so then you have nick swanson's character bender and so bender is sitting off to the side with uh shelly's wife yeah because shelly ruthlessly bullies bender yes ruthlessly both bender and shelly's wife hate shelly yeah as understandable could you imagine everybody literally the worst literally the worst person i've ever met uh yeah did you imagine being married to that guy i would i would want to shoot to shoot him in the nut too with a paintball. Like the weird plastic balls too. So that's what happens in the middle of him

teabagging this poor random guy for five minutes. You see what appears to be Bender shoot him in the nut sack, right in the nut sack with the paintball gun and makes uh and then shelly ends up losing both of his balls because of that yeah the second one to a staff infection

so i do i do have a quick question about i do have a quick question about this party that they're doing like the post buddy games party post buddy games party at his lake house right yeah there's a scene where jack shepherd is in a in a hot tub with two very young ladies yeah and they ask him how old he is he says 33 and they and both the girls comment about how ridiculously old that is so these girls are 18 maybe yeah i'm hoping they're legal yeah well come on come on don't go there like this is my question is why this is what happens when we have a shit movie to talk about we just go completely off the rails brandon i'm so mad at josh it's his fault my question heath though is what kind of party is this

why are the why are the 18 year old girls there with these 33 year olds what is that what it's it was it like a high school because it was and it wasn't just it was like the wives it looked like other people that were around their age it was just a party was this like a high school reunion party that these 18 year old women just showed up to yeah no okay so like have you ever been to a lake house like when you your lake house starts to like make noise and i don't attract attention other lake houses will kind of like walk by and then you're all wasted and you're like oh let's it's like when you go camping and like have people never joined like your flip cup games like when you're i don't i don't let

strangers join anything keith doesn't you know what i mean like it's just that's how you like meet new ladies that drive their mercedes that's just that's how you meet join parties that's loud parties yeah that's that's the chances you take when you go into parties that's have you ever thrown a party i used to have some wild characters show up to parties why so i don't know they just people just show up to parties and you're like all right man like trying to kick you out would be way more of a fuss than just that's why you have a bouncer at the door, dude. You can't have... All right. Listen, Brandon. I understand where you're going, but a big, dope-ass

lake house like that with neighboring lake houses, people would just start to trickle in. Yeah, that's also how you get 16-year-olds wandering in, and then they're drinking. I'm not saying I condone it, Brandon. I'm just telling you how you but anyway that's it back to the movie he's buddy okay we're fighting but so that so he loses both

uh balls and then he goes into then they skip ahead five years right after that skip ahead five years and shelly is in a downward spiral he's's trying to kill himself. He's finally divorced the wife that hates him. He wants to kill himself. He's in rehab. He's in a huge downward spiral. And in the five years that skipped, we find out they stopped doing the buddy games. They kind of fell out of touch with everybody. Yep.

Friendship ended slowly. That's one of my biggest critiques about this movie is they don't do a very good job of explaining that in the critique because i like deep deep deep down in this movie there's the bones of what could be a good movie right you have friend high school friends high school friend tradition like grown-ups yeah they drift apart i mean grown-ups is not a good movie either but they drift they trip no but it's not as bad as this that's true i would watch grown-ups yeah they drift apart i mean grown-ups is not a good movie either but they dress up they trip no but it's not as bad as this that's true i would watch grown-ups over this any day but uh but yeah they drift apart and then you bring them back together with the tradition there's bones in there that are good but you need to explore the falling out more they don't explore the falling out at all and so it's almost as if they never had a falling out because we have no emotional attachment to them falling out.

So it's just dick and ball jokes. So they have the falling out. Josh Duhamel, who's now rich and famous, although he probably was already rich because he had a lake house. Yeah. But that's how it always goes, right? People from rich families are able to invest in cool new ideas and then they become rich it's just you know they make a big deal about him being even richer than he was though yeah um but so because he just sold his company for like 348 million i think he's yeah yeah that's

right but so shelly's mom so shelly goes into rehab shelly's mom calls uh the bob father which is joshu mel's character character And is like you need to come I love this scene So much because she goes hey this is Shelly's mom you need to come to rehab You need to talk to Shelly and Josh Duhamel goes wait Why is he in rehab what's going on and she goes

I'll explain it to you when you get here That's not something you can Explain to people when they get there You gotta lead off with why he's In rehab you can explain to people when they get there that's you got to lead off with why he's in rehab you gotta let him know yeah you can't god i hated this movie so much i just i know i keep saying it but like literally it's truly it's truly terrible it's like yeah literally after like like 10 minutes and i was like ah geez we really picked uh we went like this is our own fault

like self-inflicted gunshot wound i'll admit that we were kind of like this was this was i will i will this was my idea i will take full responsibility for this because it was it was right after we discovered josh jumel was gonna be hopping on season two and we were like should we talk about a movie with josh jumamel? And I suggested 27 Dresses. Do you not remember that? Is he in 27 Dresses? Yeah. Wasn't he?

Oh, no, he was at Life As We Know It. Shit, sorry. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I suggested that one. Yes, yeah, you suggested Life As We Know It, which was our plan B, which was what we were going to do until I found this, because I saw this, and it was written,

directed, and starring Josh Duhamel. I was like, what better way to introduce ourselves to Josh Duhamel than to do something that he directed, wrote, and starred in? And I was wrong, Keith. I apologize. Well, then it had the psych with...

That's true. It had James Roday. That perked my ears up. Dax Shepard, That's true. It had James Roday. That perked my ears up. Dax Shepard, Olivia Munn. It's a good cast. I love Olivia Munn. She dated Aaron Rodgers for a minute there. Don't leave, Aaron. Don't leave. Stay in Green Bay.

Just do it. Just a few more years. Run it back. They fucking choked in the playoffs, Brandon. Just run it back. One more year. COVID QB. Do you want to run it back, though, with in the playoffs brandon just run it back one more year why do you want to run it back though with aaron rogers listen like jordan love is not it man like he is first of all i'm not gonna i'm not gonna stand here for your utah state slander i'm not gonna slander utah state i want jordan love to be it trust me i want him to be it i've got a couple of his rookie cards i would love for him to pop off for the Packers. Like that would be dope. I just, from what I saw in that very winnable Casey game,

he looked very outmatched, very overwhelmed. And I am, I am nervous. This is exactly what you all said about Aaron Rogers. And what you all said about Brett Favre. Listen, I was seven or eight when Brett Favre started jumping off, and I became a very big Brett Favre fan right from the get-go. Wranglers, number one gene. Don't at me. I'm going to – yeah, that's false, 100% false.

Yeah, I am just kidding, but I usually just buy my clothes from Kohl's. I don't know. Not a complex fashionista. It's Kohl's and shirts from websites, like nerd shirts and stuff. Are we done with this recap yet? God. I have a couple

more things. Spiraling. So they start the buddy games over again to bring shelly out back out of his shell um and you know just madness and seas from there yes but i love that he and he won't tell nick swartzen that he's not invited and so instead he says it's a ten thousand dollar entry fee and he becomes a male prostitute he becomes a male prostitute he sells all of his all of his dead mom's belongings to Seamus

Seamus the WWE superstar you always gotta have a WWE superstar in WWE films and honestly he was one of the best parts of the movie he fucking killed it yeah yeah I just watched those the Megan Fox Ninja Turtles he was either Bebop or Rocksteady I megan fox ninja turtles he was either b-bop or rock that's

right i can't remember which one yeah he was fine i can take or leave seamus he was like i was really i went to like wrestlemania and stuff like in that era of seamus and i was kind of like you know i was okay on him yeah but yeah he's definitely not like he's not leading man material but like these little little short you know four or five scene parts crushes it yeah great and like you know just massive irish dude very pale very pale um but so he used to call him like the like the great pale or something like he had all those like the great white north or something like they just they definitely alluded to his paleness and his gimmick all the time. Sorry. I keep doing it.

to the Mighty Ducks another connection to like tangentially to the Mighty Ducks but more importantly to our podcast oh fuck from this movie from this movie so do you remember from the bar scene the girl that Nick Swartzen

is talking to her name is kitty oh yeah yeah yeah yeah so that that is caitlin howden comedian and actress caitlin howden who is in the sunday service improv group which also our boy mark chavez is a part of no no and yeah just that's a fun wrinkle right there yeah well just one big family here uh what a small world yeah when she came on the screen i was like no fucking way no that is and like she's great too oh she that she she's one of the reasons that the bar scene is ridiculous we didn't even talk about the one- the reasons that the bar scene is ridiculous. We didn't even talk about the one-liners in the bar scene, did we? Oh, go ahead. Talk about your bar scene one-liners. We got

really distracted with how bad this movie is. The bar scene one-liners between her and Nick are fantastic because Nick Swanson comes up to her and reads exactly what he says, but he's trying to get her to buy him a drink. And at first she's like, no, I'm okay. And then he says, but he's like, he's trying to get her to buy him a drink. Yeah.

And at first she's like, no, I'm OK. And then he like looks, he like stops, looks her in the eye and goes, I'll chow your box for a week. And she's like, oh, yeah, OK, deal, deal. Oh, man, it's you. What a what a fucking I'll just listen to that line again what a what a line i'll chow your box for a week not not i'll eat you out for a week not i'll go down on you for a week i'll chow your box it's very um chow your box very romantic very romantic i bet you i bet you that's what dax separate deck shepherd says to kristen bell

all right so another quote there was i did find a quote on imdb that i love from bender too he's like when he's talking to the bob father when when before the Komodo dragon scene, he's like, I love your hair. I forgot about the Komodo dragon. Oh, that was a good one too. I love your hair. Do you sleep in the woods? What does that even mean Bender? The Komodo dragon scene was also completely insane because Shelly waits for the Komodo dragon to stick his tongue out and then bites the komodo dragon's tongue in a show of dominance yeah it worked

that was especially when they lost me that was at that moment when he grabbed a hold of that komodo dragon tongue in his teeth i was like this officially hits there's there's no possible way 2022 can deliver a worse movie to me that was ridiculous jack shepherd runs off into the woods and then gets mauled by a weasel that was that was a bit much oh my god like where where did the weasel come from why was it so fucking he insanely rabid he i mean where did the weasel come from is one of life's unanswerable questions i don't know if we'll ever get to you know pop goes the weasel i guess i don't know i just we've, I feel like even the 30, what are we talking about in this movie for 30 minutes is too long to have spent on this movie.

Oh God. It's, it's not, it's not good. It's not good. And like, even like you said, like some of the one-liners,

it's like, they were fine, I guess, but like at the same time, they, they weren't, they weren't, they could have been,

everything could have been better. The only one that's good is the, I'llow your box oh my god i'm i'm using that all the time not being all the fucking time a real gentleman at the bar yeah i can't i just i don't know i don't know i don't know even know what to think about this this okay so all right back to like the ducks and game changers and like josh dumel i the only thing that like doesn't scare me about his involvement with game changers is his character in game changers so like and he's he's just started he's not you know he's not writing it so that's helpful, he's not writing it. So that's helpful. Hopefully there's not any ball jokes in season two. Well,

I mean, that's, I mean, I, I, I will be very disappointed if there's not at least one boob joke, but no ball jokes. Yeah.

It's, I mean, there are going to be at camp. So there might be a little, might be a little snarky somewhere, but like, he's going to be able to play like super aggressive, intense, like hockey coach

eat sleep breathe hockey hockey camp guy he's gonna be able to play that really well as we saw with his meathead movie you know yeah yeah yeah he'll be fine he'll be fine bro he'll be great like we mentioned in the episode where we talked about the news breaking, it's going to be fine. It'll be right down the middle. It's the safe way. Disney's taking the safe way out by casting him and casting him in that specific role. It's the safe way out. So for Game Changers Season 2, I'm not expecting any fireworks.

It's going to be. To be fine. Yeah, it's going to be gonna be It's gonna be fine Yeah it's gonna be fine It's not gonna be terrible it's not gonna be great It's just gonna be right down the middle Middle America I hope at the very least we can get With at least one boob joke I hope we can at least

Get some good guest stars You know get a nice Keenan Julie the cat dude that would be fun you know bringing averman back maybe car yeah you know carp being handsome that would be funny like they could do some stuff with carp being handsome yeah no we don't need to bring peter back no no i i i would be i'm good i i hope they bring back the people they already brought back as well um just for like another one episode or whatever like averman fulton connie gee all those guys can he bring him back again yeah and then and

then we need keenan keenan keenan showing up or not showing up in the seasons i feel is going to make or break it yeah so so keenan don't let us down yeah welcome to good burger home of the good burger can i take your order i loved that movie that is a fantastic movie oh i'm a dude he's a dude she's a dude because we're all dudes hey i mean it's a beautiful song about equality right like we're all dudes every single one of us we're all just dudes in the end well yeah fair enough yeah that's what good burger was teaching us ahead of its time yeah way way ahead keenan knew what was up he was like pierre was what is this pierre garcon the when he did the something like that the the french the french guy in the in the bathtub something like that will

forever live is one of the greatest skits on television that's in in the history of tv that's in the history of TV. That's that's up there. Him and him and Lori, Lori Beth. Then is it Lori Beth Denberg with vital information? Lori Beth something. Lori Beth. It's like Denberg or Genberg or something like that. Something Berg. Yeah.

She was great too. They had a, she had a great guest spot on a workaholics episode yeah that was pretty solid yeah yeah so anyways all right i don't know do you have anything else to say about this movie i think we milked it for about all it's worth then and then some like i like i said at the beginning i did not care for it yeah what what's your what's your your cakey rating here? Great call. We can't have one of these movies without a golden cakey rating. You can go first.

Do you want me to go first? It's out of five, right? Decimals encouraged. For this one, I'm going to decide how mean I want to be. I can do mine. Do yours first. This is going to be i can do mine do yours first

all right so this is going to be a cakey's first for a cake rating i'm going to go minus five cakes because i hated it so much and so minus five minus five minus five that's how much i disliked it so basically i went I went and spent a small fortune at the grocery store to bake a very beautiful, delicious cake. And I just wasted all that money because the cake didn't turn out well. It just, I basically didn't even get through mixing it. And I was like, fuck this. I'm out. That's how, that's how, maybe maybe that was maybe minus five is too aggressive

but at least negative three cakes like the batter wasn't even fully formed i think it's safe to say josh mills will never come on our podcast sorry dude do better do better remember we talked about my time and the importance of it yeah of course of course yeah could have been very very important i could be on season two of righteous gemstones right now brandon it's fucking josh dumas fault i i'm i'm not gonna give it negative because my scale goes from zero to five i don't do negatives we don't we don't deal in in hypotheticals here heath okay all right then zero cakes give it none you can you can have negatives i'm saying on me personally all right i'm zero to five okay all right i'm gonna give it uh i'm gonna give it a one a one out of five a one that's generous only because only because

over here only because of the line i'll shout your box for a week that's the only thing that gets it a one that says more about you than anything brandon yeah a one cake uh i don't know that's generous it was it was i i did not care for this i would not recommend it if you didn't watch it already, don't.
