Yeah. But in the end, is it awesome? Absolutely. Exactly.

Like I always say, Heath, fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice. We're God. It just they're going to fool you a thousand times.

Brandon, like you and that saying okay I was gonna say he before you interrupted me is fool me once shame on you fool me twice we're here of the ducks and team usa and fooling brandon multiple times we have a press conference on our hands brandon we have yes well usa hockey at the podium the full team at the podium so for for everybody that's listening along and watching along with us we're at minute 30 we're minute 30 picking up right here and then we're going introducing bombay and the team man that's going to lead them to the gold and we're going to

end roughly minute 41 ish 41 and a half we'll call it um but so yes minute 30 picking up we just beat trinidad and tobago 92 crushed them right and now we'll prep bloodbath uh but they did they scored two goals they had some steel drum celebrations um that was fucking awesome was it was it belafonte is that was that the the kid yeah belafonte yeah beafonte broke a couple ankles, made some people look like idiots. Yeah, a little bob and weave, you know. The young Trinidad and Tobago hockey team, they got promise. They got potential. Listen, Brandon, we will talk the origin story of Trinidad and Tobago

in one of our after-the-movie episodes. Let's carve out 30 minutes for that perfect perfect but but like you mentioned you write the script we'll act it out we'll do like an audio book oh yeah we could do like a like a like a table read you know yeah exactly okay solid but so back to d2. We just beat Trinidad and Tobago. Press conference. Team USA. Hendricks Sports. What's going on, Ethan?

Tibbles introducing Bombay. The team, the gentleman that's going to lead them to the gold. But Tibbles also introduces someone who I kind of have a little bit of beef with. I don't have beef with, but I just have comments on. We get the bring up the bear this is henry the hendrix bear no no i approve of the it's his name is barry the bear are you sure i thought he said henry in the subtitles the subtitles the subtitles may have said henry but in the movie, he says I'm Barry the Bear. Guaranteed, 100%.

Alright, hold on. If he... Anyways, but that is what the subtitle said. Well, we've established with the knockwood Charlie that these subtitles are sketchy at best. Skeptical. Yeah, wow. I feel absolutely

terrible for anyone that has to rely on these subtitles. They're letting me down. Fool me once, wow. I feel absolutely terrible for anyone that has to rely on these subtitles. They're letting me down. Fool me once, Heath. Fool me twice, get your fucking subtitles right, Disney. So I approve of the mascot attire. I love the sunglasses. I love the polar bear choice.

He's wearing a Hendrix jersey, though. Throw on a Team USA jersey. He does need a T. I wrote that down. I like the sunglasses. I like that he has hockey attire on. I like that it's a polar bear, but we need some Team USA on that along with Hendrix. Especially because the Team USA jersey says Hendrix in huge, bold letters.

So it would accomplish both goals yeah and he also breaks the unwritten rule of mascotting which is you just you don't talk like yeah he he jumps on the mic are you are you kidding me jumped on the mic i'm as a former manager of mascots you are getting fired from my team if you're jumping on the fucking mic oh this dude would get this dude's getting fired this dude's getting fired for sure because not only is he talking but he's also sexually harassing people yeah that move with uh miss mckay yeah when he asks her she wants a bear hug yeah get this amateur out of this bear suit, right? Like he is a fucking – making a mockery of the mascot game, and I'm just – I'm not here for it, Brandon.

It will not stand. He's got real – do you remember the – I don't know if you'll remember this. This is going to be a very niche poll from Colorado. Do you remember – because the Avalanche, they have – currently they have Bernie as their mascot, which is a St. Bernard. Okay. Before Bernie, they had Howler, who was a Yeti. Do you remember Howler?

No, I don't remember Howler. So he was famously decommissioned because he beat up a woman while in mascot while in the suit. He beat up a woman. That is amazing. We need to look that up i'm gonna look that up afterwards i love that yeah he was i was actually he was notorious for like picking fights with with opposing fans um and i think he like i think it was like a lady in like a blackhawks jersey at a game and he like punches her in the face oh geez well and blackhawks fans are aggressive so you got to pick your battles buddy yeah you know but they really fucking love the

blackhawks yeah and well then they didn't just they didn't just fire how the dude who was in the suit they just they got rid of the whole the whole mascot they were like we're starting that's it that's time when it's you know like you gotta change the people's memory and replace that one you know so and bernie's bernie's fucking badass i don't know if you've seen bernie he's a saint bernard he has his own jersey uh it says bernie on the back and guess what his number is it's a dog bone in the shape of a one oh nice i was gonna say 69 but i would have been way off

no bernie bernie's not that cool you know yeah nice that have you have you uh that that reminds me that the there's a new show i need to watch that i haven't i haven't gone into have you started watching shorezy at all no i haven't oh dude we we gotta we gotta watch that uh okay because i've seen commercials for you know what it is right from lederkenny it's it's uh i didn't realize they were making that show i don't think i've seen anything any ads or anything on that oh i've i've seen it i've seen a ton of ads because i think they just released season one on i think

it's on hulu i could be wrong about that but i pay for the ad free service so like you know that shit is nowhere to be found on my yeah but yeah it's uh i think we just tolerate that that's that's peasant tv watching brandon get that shit out of here but i think they just released season one of the the shorezy spinoff show and it looks fucking amazing yeah okay yeah we'll have to we'll have to get into that but anyway so we're back to a last thing about the mascot i just you know he's fine he just shouldn't talk real amateur you know they they could do better you know yeah probably probably tibble's like friend's nephew or something that he was doing a solid yeah probably that's how it happens

that's how it happened for me my the ad for wayne state reached out to my mom because she he knew she'd say yes he's like hey would he do this and she was like yes he absolutely will and she was like hey heath you gotta be willie the wildcat and go to the elementary school for the next few weeks if there's one thing i know about uh mascots he's they love nepotism that's it's it's all in the family but the mascot you know keep it in the fam i'm just too i was just in the end i was too big and too sweaty to be a mascot that's that was the final nail in my mascot and coffin and so i ended up just managing the mascots instead there you go do the scheduling step even better it's way better yeah so anyways we got the we open it up to questions in our in our um press conference here

and we get our first girl which they don't identify I don't know if it just wasn't a thing yet, but usually when reporters ask questions, they're like, um, you know, Heath with the New York times, but she just jumps in right away. Team USA.

How does it feel competing on an international level here in Los Angeles? Maybe she was just a ringer to do a softball. We love it. Yeah. And she doesn't, I said, she doesn't even get any answers. The kids were we love it yeah that's it that's all so maybe she was just a plant that's your whole quote right there love it love it yeah yeah and then next lady i think we get

her name later later i think her name's like nancy or something. And this is where she identifies. She's the real hard-hitting journalist. She's the capital J journalist. Yeah. And she identifies the Vikings from Iceland are the heavy favorite. Their coach has already guaranteed victory. How are you going to handle them? And he gives a lot of super coach speak. Hard work.

He's the worst dancer ever. Yeah. Oh, he ends it. We're ready to go against the best in the world. We're not worried about them. Iceland may be tough, but we're USA, and we're going all the way. Absolutely. Yeah.

And Tibbles is giving giving a big thumbs up because that's a fucking gold quote for all the newspapers out there it rhymes dude what more do you want yeah yeah it's it's absolutely amazing um and so um they they wrap up the fastest press conference in the world right there and um as we're wrapping it up we get introduced to one of my favorite lines ever we get wolf the dentist stanson saying team usa is going down that's where you're going great fucking line dude great line yeah and everyone's like putting them down yeah that's where they're going. And all the press are like, oh shit, who's this guy?

So he pulls up with his entire team right behind him. An entire team pulls up to the Team USA press conference and then rolls into the back and then interrupts at the very end just to tell Team USA they suck. Fucking baller move dude baller yeah and and see you on the ice bomb bay

fucking get him wolf so then bombay goes up to tibbles and he's like uh tibbles is like yeah that's the coach of iceland stanson and bombay freaks out he's like that's a wait hold on did you hear did you hear tibbles is like he's wound a little tight oh yeah wound a little tight i thought that was great a little uh just a little yeah so bombay freaks out like you said yeah yeah yeah he's like that's wolf the dentist stanson he's the coach of iceland And then Charlie and Julie the cat. And Kenny. Well, Kenny's asking because Kenny doesn't know what's going on. He's like, who the fuck is that?

And then Charlie. That guy's a dentist? Oh, that cracked me up too, Kenny. You old so-and-so, Kenny. That guy's a dentist? Julie and Charlie give us some more background on I love I love this scene so fucking much because it really does it does such a good job of

building the stancing up as like crazy motherfucker yeah Charlie's description do you I got it all down so he calls so Charlie's like no that's his nickname is the dentist to Kenny he goes he played one year in

the pros collected more teeth than goals and then he punched out his own coach and then in the NBA circles we call that the Latrell Sprewell exactly well I think Latrell Sprewell he choked him out he choked I think Latrell spreewell would call it wolf the wolf the dentist stanton you know that's true that's it that's a fact but so then this is i this is the line i fucking love so much so then julie chimes in and she goes uh i heard they ran him out of the league, out of the country. They ran – which doesn't make any sense because he's in the country right now, Julie. He's back.

Maybe he's playing in – He's in America. Maybe he's playing in – But I just – They ran him out of the country and now he gets back because he's not playing. He's a coach. Yeah. Well, I took that as like one of those things, those like urban legends that like goes like goes from person to person it just gets and they're like dude they kicked him out of the

country for that you know they fucking deported him for punching his coach dude yeah you know shit like that i well and collecting more teeth than goals oh it's fucking amazing and then and that's the best kind of elementary school rumor right there because i mean that that wouldn't be that hard if you i mean if you're not scoring any goals you just need one yeah yeah just uh what what's the podcast spitting chiclets right yeah isn't that what that implies right yeah yeah yeah because you get in the fight and then you yeah you lose a tooth and you spit it out. Yep. So there you go. Real hockey guy, Heath. Thank you.

I've been known as such in many circles. But then it cuts back to Stanton who's sitting there with his team and the security guard comes up and they're pushing him away and he goes, he goes, what if we're having a free speech? I thought this was America. Yeah.

Oh, my God. That is my favorite. Hold on. I have been on a South Park kick recently and all I could think of was like Stan's dad in that episode. He was like, oh, I thought this was America. Come on. Oh, is this not America? It's all I could like Stan's dad being wasted. Oh, is this not America? It's all I could, like, Stan's dad

being wasted. Oh my god. I was just absolutely cracking up. So I thought it was fucking America, bro. Yeah, isn't this America? I loved everything about that. I thought that was genius they put in there. Every single

thing about Wolf, the Denton, Stanson is perfect. Because he guarantees victory before the tournament even starts. Amazing. Yeah. they put in there every single thing about wolf the denton stanson is perfect because he i he guarantees victory before the tournament even starts amazing yeah he's he's he rolls up he's wearing an all-black suit has his hair slicked back and then pat riley hair pat riley hair i there there's an article that karsten karsten norgaard i think let me double check this yeah karsten norgaard is the the actor who check this yeah karsten norgaard is the the actor who plays wolf the dentist stanson wanted to make sure i pronounced his name right

um there's an article where he talks about uh pat riley was his inspiration for wolf the dentist stanson so that's why he has the slick back hair that's amazing yeah it's fantastic and he's got a sick ass fucking fucking nickname, like The Dentist. Everything about this dude is just cool as shit. Yeah. It's just I could not stop laughing thinking about Stan's dad. Just, oh, sorry, I thought this was America. And he's just, like, housed and screaming at everyone, doing horrible things. Oh, my God.

That's great stuff. okay yeah and then um tibbles like rescues like after all that tibbles rescues um kind of like shoes away nancy oh but before that sorry i guess kenny also comments that the team is enormous too right yeah well i mean everybody's enormous to kenny the dude's fucking four foot four foot three and weighs 30 pounds yeah i mean he's skated in between the legs of a trinidad and tobago player like he just yeah he's barely bent down yeah he just like went down on a knee so he's um he's doing great but then we we get uh bombay approaching miss mckay saying hey how did i do and she's like yikes this is a circus and he's like oh it's all part of the game

yep giant polar bear with sunglasses is part of hockey now i guess the game's really changed she's a real hockey purist brandon yeah i know yeah she uh she doesn't want these shenanigans no she doesn't need she has no need for mascots not at all yeah well this is what this is what happened so timbles pulls bombay away from miss mckay after she makes that comment to go talk to cnn because they wanted a one-on-one interview and the polar bear sees his opening and he jumps in and he's like hey there missy how about a bear hug double fired talking and running up on the ladies like that double fired mascot get that guy out of there. Get him out of the suit, Brandon. Fucking bury, man.

Bury the bear. God. This, you know, can't be doing that. You're just, you're a representation of the brand and the team, and you got to be better at that. And the country. And he's representing the country. The country. The good old U.S. of A.

You know? Here we are. How the mighty have so yeah so post press conference brandon after that delicious introduction to wolf the dentist stanson and team iceland uh we cut over to tibbles in his ride i couldn't tell what kind of car that was but it was a convertible um and bobby is like what in the world are we doing in malibu malibu yeah yeah and and tibbles hooks bombay up fat with a beautiful home in malibu malibu overlooking the water. Like that, that was something. That house is ridiculous.

And the ugliest interior that I've ever seen in my life. Yeah. This, this, this just reinforced that like rich people have zero taste. Yeah. Like the, like how,

how you have that house and then that's how you decorate it on the inside. You put that kind of, you put that tile in there. What are you decorate it on the inside you put that kind you put that tile in there what are we doing guys what the fuck are we doing yeah with those countertops oh yeah thanks it's the whole thing because it was like granite tile was the whole thing granite was it just one big fucking granite slab i don't know some of those like modern well because like it never gets like too hot or too cold right so it's just you know they don't need a lot of it's very very simplistic kind of high-end living it just looks fucking terrible

um the the thing that i like so bombay accepts this wonderful home to live in, but the issue that I have is he is one of two guardians for the team. And getting from LA to Malibu in that California traffic isn't always just a real quick thing. What if something happens? That's true. I wonder exactly how far away. I hope we're irresponsible. I wonder where their dorms are. I wonder exactly how far away they are.

Because, yeah, LA traffic to get from anywhere to anywhere is not ideal. Like, I cannot believe Charlie's mom would be signing off on this kind of shenanigans from Bombay. That's why they broke up. Well, they didn't break up. They never got together because he left for minor league hockey. Well, just, you know, that's – And then he came back and she remarried. And then, as Jan said, she just stopped paying attention to anything and anybody

charlie had to find uh find a new uh role model luckily yon and hans well i mean maybe just yon they never established like when hans left it could have been god knows how long ago you know i the the thing is is you know mama d would not have enjoyed us being left that unsupervised you know i wouldn't have told her you need you need you need bombay and or somebody else this is again in the dorm in the dorm on the floor this again this is where this is where mc mc gainey would have came in clutch as the as the assistant coach you know and we see really quick what kind of shenanigans kids get into and we all the the these dorm scenes are ridiculous dude i love these dorm scenes this is my favorite this is some of my favorite so after bombay yeah bombay's like oh they don't need me

24 hours a day let me stay at this penthouse in malibu and we cut to cowboy duane just well whatever brandon it's it's it's imagery for the listeners brandon just so it's a warm for like a town home. He's not a beautiful. Not in a high rise overlooking the water. Yeah, it's not a penthouse, though. OK, anyways, we have Cowboy Dwayne just innocently and wisely. And a poor Cowboy Dwayne. Although it might have been because he was snoring. And, you know, that's just I cannot handle the snoring stuff.

It just bugs the shit out of me. But we have. As the guy who snores, group like dorms were like my nightmare. Fucking hate it. I had. Oh, God, this is. So I had like a little line of like stress balls on like by my bed in the dorms that I would throw at my roommate when he would start snoring because he would snore like a drunken wildebeest that fell asleep on his back. Or that's how I towards the towards the end.

I like trained him like Jim does with Dwight with the noise in the mint that like when I my, my throat, he would like wake up and roll over and stop snoring. Oh, it's nice. So, you know, there you go. Just, just train your partner.

Yeah. I, I, my, my story is real rough. It's, it's been, been commented on many times.

Oh God. Just, and at that point, you know, it's just, let let's just let's just hit the other rooms you know it's against exactly that's why i try i i avoid uh group sleeping arrangements at all costs yeah that's that's that's kind of you but anyways so i i do so i don't want to make line you're sleeping sleep apnea snoring i know that you can't help it but son of a gun do i hate it and i because i gotta i gotta give me likely even i'll see yeah i'm a heavy sleeper like i'm

my dog snores like you and like she sounds like a human person so i've gotten used to it okay i do need to get one of those machines though i gotta go get like check checked out for sleep apnea but it's just such a dude don't such a process i think there was a wrestler that died of that and isn't that what happened with reggie white it's very very uncommon but it's possible um like it was like but i mean a heart attack but it was like from his sleep apnea like yeah it's it's very very rare situations but it has happened yeah but i mean like you know he if it's my time it's my time you know who am i who am i to who am i to fight god yeah that's that's true okay so anyways let's get back to cowboy duane he is sleeping in his dorm

um we've got louise kenny and goldberg the ringleader of the shenanigans um just like i found that interesting heavyweights brandon did you anyways heavyweight for sure yeah i found that real interesting though that it was uh that it was two of the new ducks and Goldberg picking on a new duck. I figured it would have been You would figure it would be some old duck on new duck action, but that wasn't the

case. I wonder if like Luis and Kenny were like, dude, Goldberg, Dwayne has been snoring in these dorms since Minneapolis and we cannot do this snoring anymore. So Goldberg's like, I've got just the trick. Who has shaving cream and who has a feather? Because remember from heavyweights, Goldberg has been shaving for a while. Oh, yeah.

That's a crossover movies. But remember that from heavyweights where he shaves the balloon? Yeah. weights goldberg has been shaving for a while oh yeah yeah not to cross over movies but remember that from heavyweights where he shaves the balloon yeah in the in the rate in the apache relay yeah yeah well he also shaves his face in that movie too you know yeah it's he's he's an he's an adult there but also i do have to say so like there're when when they move his hand over and they hit it with the shaving cream like that wakes up like everyone because it's like wet in your hand you know what i mean oh yeah there's no way there's no way he would have been asleep for that long yeah there's no fucking way maybe maybe dwayne's just like real real heavy of a sleeper you know he's maybe you know there are super heavy sleepers but so what happens is a cowboy you know he's

gotta he's gotta be able to just sleep in the in the pasture you know you gotta be able to knock knock out that's true that's true he'll just you know find a find a nice rock to lean to and put tile bessie to the tree and take a little nap. So anyways, they tickle him with the feather and he smears the shaving cream on his face and still does not wake up. Nope. and then after that we move to portman and fulton um where i love this interaction too where fulton says a little tunage to go to sleep by so i love this because they have their they have their own dorm just the two of them just yeah mealing away just the bash brothers they have the nirvana poster hanging up yep r.i.p kirk cobain he probably was 94 he would have just died the year before r.i.p

um and then fulton's wearing a guns and roses shirt uh to bed and then yeah they they put they put the cassette tape on for some tunage to go to bed and it's uh that's uh ain'ten Nothing Yet by the Poor Boys great song great fucking song Brandon no you Ain't seen nothing yet Oh classic And then I love after they

Cut away a couple times and they cut back And they're both Wide awake now playing air guitar On the hockey stick Yes yes How could you not that song is a banger They're both wide awake now playing air guitar on the hockey stick. Yes. Yes. How could you not? That song is a banger. Of course you're going to jump up and start really throwing down.

I do have to ask, though, because they finally, like, nudge Dwayne awake and he, like, jumps awake and he's like, oh, my God, and attacks them. Did you do, like, I feel like everyone did sleepover shenanigans like this did you have one we had a go-to that we always tried on people like first person that went out we always did the the warm water trick you you would do the warm water trick now i just i mean america's uh slumber party staple for class of 04. You know what they call that? The old Iowa. That's what they call that.

They don't call that. Brandon, I'm not going to sit here and let you just constantly downcast me. I am not an Iowian. I am just simply a Nebraskan. I never partook

in any of the sleeping shenanigans though the sleep pranks i hated it because i was always one of the first to drop and i slept so lightly so as soon as they like got into my sleeping orbit i was like get the fuck out of here you know yeah i i yeah i never did any of that any of the the warm water or the shaving cream or what else do they do i don't know i i i didn't care much for it you know if someone's tired let them let them just get some rest yeah exactly you know so but anyways um i i my favorite was the Fulton and Portman one and then you cut to the guys and then you cut back and they're just jumping on their beds

rocking out jamming away good old air guitar and then we cut from the dorm scene and we get Bombay in the tunnel pregame. A little pregame presser right before they're playing Italy. Yep. Getting ready to take on Italy.

Talking about Hendricks hockey. Yep. Talking them up. And then he starts – Giving some – yeah. Giving some handshakes. And then we have a meet cue, Brandon. What'd you call it?

A meet cue? Like cue the love, right? They meet and cue the love. Is it meet cue? I always thought it was meet cute. Is it meet cue? Is it meet cute? That doesn't make any fucking sense

why am i thinking they they meet in a cute way that's what i always took it as i could be totally wrong that's just always what i was thinking oh my god hold on wait hold on we gotta we gotta solve this this is oh my god i was wrong it's a meet cute okay wow i nailed it okay hold the phone though like doesn't mine you know logical sense sense but it is i don't think it makes more sense yeah i mean i'm just i i guess i'm just a fucking idiot i don't know i i'm wow all right we're both talking about the same meet q uh in this movie right though when him and Stanson meet in the hallway. Wolf Maria. No, no.

Him and Wolf the dentist. The true love story in this movie is Bombay and Stanson. Everybody should know this. Okay. There's a lot of tension there. Yeah, a lot of unresolved sexual tension going on a lot of a lot of unspoken things happening in the eyes a quick message from our friends at broken forest collective built on a passion for small batch and

to do russia because uh he was like that's played out cold war played out cold war just kind of ended and fizzled out we're good he didn't want to do germany because germany again played out it's always the bad guy so he was thinking he was like who should i make the bad guys uh and then he decided he didn't want to do canada because he wanted to do a country that people didn't necessarily know a lot about you know more of a like an obscure one that he could kind of like you know play around with and so jordan uh uh who i who's real good friends with steve he was working on another movie at the time that he was writing this and befriended uh maria maria ellen ellen sin ellen sin ellen her name in real life is the same as in the movie it's just there's an in the movie it's maria with two r's

and in real life it's just maria yeah and maria ellinson is her her real name if i'm pronouncing it correctly um but so uh jordan uh meets maria on the set of another movie maria is legitimately from iceland so she comes over she's hanging out with jordan she meets steve uh her and steve become friends and steve's like this is iceland iceland is it uh that's that's what we're gonna do so that's how he comes up with iceland and then they run with iceland um that's how we get them as the bad guys and then she gets uh the role as the trainer so you know happy endings for everybody i absolutely love that one of the first stories uh my senior manager told me it was when we were talking about this movie was like she went to iceland because of this movie and visited because she loved this movie so much

and that's when i knew that i was in the right place for work i was like oh this is this is a perfect role for me yeah it the because i i i mean i'm the same way i haven't been to iceland but i uh i've the only reason i know anything about iceland i would wager i know more than the average person because i've like researched it a bunch. And the only reason I've researched it a bunch is because of this fucking movie. Well, the only thing you need to know is that Iceland is very nice and Greenland is the one that's covered.

And you know where I learned that from this movie, Heath, that Iceland is green and Greenland is covered in ice. Yeah. It's, it's iconic. So, but, but so they, But so they have their meet cute. They start talking.

Do you like what Bombay says to her? He's like, so who are you? Yeah. That's what he says to her. And she's like, I'm the trainer from Iceland. And then that's when Wolf the dentist comes up. And I didn't realize that they had their own language, Icelandic, because the subtitles hit us with speaking Icelandic. Yeah, they have their.

Yeah. You didn't know that? No, I maybe I'm just an idiot, but I don't know that that's another complaint that I've seen mentioned a whole bunch is that a lot of the people's names that are on Team Iceland are involved with Iceland in this movie. Their names don't make any sense based on the Icelandic language. They would never have those names. Nice. They just needed some names. They only had two weeks branded

exactly uh but yeah they have their own language uh my uh so i i think it was the last episode i mentioned that i took five years of of german uh yes so one of the last episodes so four years of those was throughout high school and i had the same teacher the same german teacher all four years and she was from Iceland and spoke Icelandic. That's the main reason I know they have their own language. Oh, nice. She was crazy. She spoke Icelandic.

She spoke German. She spoke French. She spoke like 16. She spoke double-digit languages for sure. She was a maniac. That's amazing. I'm taking Spanish lessons starting this week. I'm got a lot of, got a lot of trip work travel to Spanish speaking country.

So I'm going to, I'm going to go, go above them. Okay. So anyways, they do, they do have their own language. Um, and so Stanton comes in and yeah, they're speaking. She he's, uh, under under his breath basically telling the trainer lady don't fraternize with the getting lost yeah yeah don't know fraternizing with the enemy and bombay is looking a little uncomfortable and so what does bombay do he chooses to crack wise to wolf and says he tries well you have the way with the ladies we We haven't formally met. I'm Gordon Bombay, coach of Team USA.

He tries the old Bombay charm, which is that ain't going to work, Bombay. Stonewalled. It ain't going to work on the dentist. No. And did you like what the wolf says to him? He says, I know my competition. I know you. Yep.

And then Bombay says, do you know the real me, though? And I would wager Bombay doesn't even know the real Bombay. It's actually a really good wager. And I think he proves that throughout the course of this movie. But do you like what Walt the dentist says? He's like, you're full of confidence. Cocky. American american i like that it will make our triumph that even more enjoyable yeah and bombay's like triumph lighten up a little bit we're all just here to have a little fun right

don't worry we will as team iceland and wolf the dentist we will did he and just like that brandon i love this interaction in bombay's head so i love this interaction again because it this dude's just so fucking cool because he comes in yeah i love the line i know my competition he's giving him a death a death stare the entire just glaring him down, doesn't blink at all. Yeah. And he's speaking in real hushed, measured tones, right? So nothing – like nothing – there's very little emotion coming from him. It's all very measured, hushed, calculated.

And then the best fucking part is he leaves, right? He's walking away. He turns back around and he gives him a fucking finger gun and you see that dude i love a good finger gun i'm so good i miss being in the office and you know just i i was pretty i was pretty hot and loose with my finger guns in the office yeah you you you need to take some notes from from the dentist here you got to start doing your finger guns like the office yeah you you you need to take some notes from from the dentist here you got to start doing your finger guns like that you know yeah more more reserved more more uh

less loosey-goosey more intentional you know yeah gotta keep them tight but i just i love that he called it our triumph won't be that much more enjoyable that's good shit yeah ah dude stanson's the fucking best so good uh great interaction and then we hit to the game or do you have any more stanson stuff no that's it so so after he leaves he gives the finger guns and then we cut to italy the italy game yep 6-0 on the on the scoreboard 6-0 we got goldberg goldberg being a piece of shit fucking talking doesn't he call what he said does he call one of them a paisan yeah he says hey paisan meatballs are slowing you down hey how do you say in italiano a wussy dude and the italian player rightfully gets in his face like goldberg really

took the gloves off there for talking shit to team italy yeah i'm fucking unbelievable like just like we talked to because gold goldberg we talked about how terrible of a goalie he wasn't the first one he has not gotten any better he's still a garbage goalie and just he had a nice glove save there brandon the unwarranted confidence that this kid has is mind-blowing irrational confidence guy there's that's that's part of sports you got to have irrational confidence guys like they're important members of the team because irrational confidence guys even though they're not that good it makes the people that are better than them be like geez if that guy thinks he's that good i'm good too and then they start playing better so it's good to

have an irrational confidence guy on the team you gotta be able to back it up just a little bit though he doesn't do anything gobert he just he made a save right before like they like granted trinidad got a couple cheap goals at the end for a 9-2 you know but this is 6-0 yeah i guess i don't know goldberg goldberg just runs me the wrong way and the fact that bombay just will is you know his fucking blind loyalty to this this garbage kid is especially when you got julie the cat on the fucking bench that's that's the thing it's the first the first movie it was fine you know we're cracking jokes we're having a good time you don't have any other options this movie goldberg really gets on my nerves because you got julie the fucking cat who's 10 times the goalie goldberg ever could be just sitting on the bench wasting wasting away in her prime hold on save the julie the cat rants for

the beginning of the next episode because that's i got right i kick off i got plenty i got plenty of julie rants i got plenty okay because that's where we kick off next episode right i mean she she but i won't i won't spoil it or anything but um one thing the last thing i have to say about the italy game before we kind of move on is that there's a scene where they're showing hockey clips and the ref tries to jump up to avoid the hit and like still just like comes crashing down i got a really big kick out of that so he jumped so the roughest skate so there's an italy guy who has the puck who's skating by by the ref and the refs on the boards and then uh i think is it it's portman that comes up right

portman comes up to the italy player and he's gonna hit him into the boards so the ref tries to jump up onto the boards he grabs the top of the glass and is hanging there to try to avoid getting hit also. But he still gets hit and fucking falls to the ground. Amazing. Great stuff. And then you have the Fulton slap shot comes into effect here. Because I think it's right after that. Fulton hits another one home for sure another one home and russ gives him like a golf clap yeah that's right yeah he's like yeah yeah russ is like okay these guys are kind of

good not too bad yeah it's it's russ golf clap then we see an 11-0 blowout victory, and then we see newspaper clipping of the team moving to 2-0. Real bloodbath there for the Italians. So I'm just looking at this, right? I'm breezing through some of the scenes here while we're talking. And I get to the part where russ does the golf clap yeah and he's in the stands and he's like this is not too bad there's a lady who is sitting to the to the left of russ here and she has a crazy shirt on

would you like to venture oh yeah would you like to venture a guess of what the shirt says i'm too sexy for my like the song nope nope it's nope it's close but i thought that's what it said it's it i have a freeze frame right here i i i saw when i like just looking at it like while it was going full full speed i saw i'm too sexy and i assumed i was like oh that's got to be the shirt right the i'm too sexy for my shirt uh thing so i stopped it and i was like i gotta see just to make sure but no it says i'm i'm too sexy to be right-handed but yeah so then 11 nothing usa beats italy bombay's uh and team usa were 2-0 and then uh we're feeling good feeling confident feeling confident and you know what you do when you feel confident and spry he will photo shoot yep photo shoot a little and that once again

the soundtrack hits this out of the park because we get mr big stuff who do you think you are there's all kinds of foreshadowing here too mr big stuff by martha wash great fucking get some models you know little fan action you know just, just strikes a nice pose. He's crushing it. And then we're out networking, right? We're talking. We're wheeling and dealing. We're talking.

And so I want to talk about this scene. So he's walking Bombay through this little party or whatever filled with celebrities. And he's telling Bombay he's like – he basically tells them that L.A. is full of liars and cheats and steals and stealers. Everybody here is trying to be something other than they are. Right. They're pretending to be something that they're not. Exactly. And so then – so he stops the waitress who's working the party.

Do you recognize her? I was going to say, do you know who that is, right? Yeah, the nurse from Heavyweights. Yes, it's the nurse from Heavyweights. Yep. Yes. Yeah. Julie, right?

Her name's Terry. Her name's Terry in this scene. Yeah, but Julie the nurse from Heavyweights. Yeah, I thought that was a great cameo. Yeah, just the expanded the the mighty duck cinematic universe man yeah i love it but so so so who's the guy he's talking to that says um listen all i'm saying is you could be big i mean costas big that's that's just another actor guy right or is that steve brill that's that's steve

brill that's the the writer and the creator that's what i thought that's who he played he plays the lawyer guy in d1 uh frankie boy yeah yeah yeah that's steve brill uh that was that was the other thing i was gonna mention yeah steve brill is the guy who's like oh you can be costas big and then i love that and then we get christy yamaguchi i forget is it greg luganis right yeah yeah greg luganis and then christy yamaguchi and greg luganis yep then he meets the hot new cellius and robitaille for the nhl stars are you gonna mention their first names heath are you just gonna you know put some Put some respect on their name here. I can't remember. Chris Chelios. Oh, shit.

You put me on the spot. I'm blanking on their first names. It's Cam Neely. Chris Chelios. Luke Robitaille, right? And Luke Robitaille. Did they mention the first names in the movie? I don't know if they do.

No, because he says... They say it out of order.. I was like, did they mention the first names in the movie? I don't know if they do. Well, no, cause he says he's, they say it out of order. Cause he's like, you know, Neely, Chelios and Robitaille. And then he goes and he's like,

Hey, Chris, whatever, whatever. This is Gordon. Like, you know what I mean? So like they did it out of order.

And that's why my brain keeps confusing where the names go. Yeah. Yeah. Cam Neely, Chris Chelios, Luke Robitaille. It would have been great to see one of our boys, or maybe even both of them, Mike Madano and Basil McRae. But I guess they were too busy. Yeah. They might have been. Maybe.

But then we get Kareem, a little Kareem action. You know? Yeah, yeah. You know what's funny? I was just rereading the book of basketball when I was on the beach this weekend, and Bill Simmons really goes in on Kareem. He's not a big fan. Is Bill Simmons a fan of anything?

Well, the Boston sports teams. i know i've said this before i hate boston i know but i love bill simmons and his book of basketball is great as somebody who's like half of my family born and bred in boston it's the worst they're the worst oh that's amazing um but wait have, we may have talked about this too, but have you watched Showing Time, the Lakers? I've watched like the first half and then I kind of fell off. Yeah, they took way too many liberties with that. I wanted to like it and I understand like making a TV show,

but that was just, they they just they took a few too many liberties i didn't care for it but we get kareem and this steve brill's like okay two words pat riley and but he's um he's sitting with kareem and what is he doing brandon he's giving a great sales pitch he's pitching the the air bomb bay loafers for kids or loafers is it loafers for kids who want to coach yeah i'm trying to remember i'm gonna call it the air bomb bay loafer for kids who want to coach yeah and then there's a reem asks him do you think there's enough kids out there that want to coach i did i said yeah i dressed up in fourth grade as a basketball coach i think i took a clipboard and and as we mentioned i'm i'm venturing into the the hockey coaching world here and i'm

not a kid but i would wear i'd wear some air bomb base yeah air bomb bay loafers you know you'd like to think that they'd be comfortable it'd be good for like you know some of the you know the the inner thank you the employees, you got to walk to work, get a nice Bombay loafer on. Yeah. There's a, I'm going to skip ahead a little. Cause I know a little past the, the cutoff here. Cause we're going to, we're going to end at the rodeo, the rodeo drive. No, it's rodeo. He's okay. I know a rodeo when i see a fucking rodeo um but but there's a line

uh because the start of that next scene is julie walking into his office and he's on the phone and he's i don't know who he's talking to but he's talking about the air bomb bays and he's like no no no no no it's not a sneaker it's a street shoe uh yeah i okay i haven't i like to really keep my sections tight and as you know so i i haven't jumped into that too far but i love that that's a great life yeah see they really do need to make the air bomb days that would be such a such a hit nike disney get your shit together or they don't they don't need they don't even need need they need to reference them though I would love it if in Game Changer season 2 like Josh Duhamel's character

mentions he's wearing like air bomb bays or some shit like that that would be awesome but they're not going to because Bombay bailed on the season so they still have to mention him though you can't fucking remember he died in a collapsing horrifying accident with

face palace that's fake news they're gonna leave the door open for him to come back you know they are they're not gonna they're not gonna write him off not yet at least not until you know not until they're gonna try one more time to bring him back in but anyway air bomb days uh bomb bays and then we then we cut into uh the kids uh some of the kids having a little fun uh in in los angeles you're on rodeo drive yeah and then averman tries to correct duane who says it's rodeo drive saying no it's Rodeo. Yeah. Classic. He's, hey, listen, you can't fool Dwayne. He saw the sign. It says Rodeo Drive. I thought that was great.

And then Jesse comes in with, I don't get it. This is Beverly Hills. Where are all the hills? Classic. And then Goldberg, he's like, hey, where's that 90210 school? Or the Beverly Hillbillies where are the movie stars this is great content from these guys

oh it's great so there there's a scene that got cut from the movie Heath that would have appeared in this little montage and it would have featured a famous cameo.

Do you have a guess at what that – do you have any idea what I'm talking about? No. So Mark Maron shot a scene for DT the Mighty Ducks where he played an angry valet driver. And he would have interacted with these kids, with the kids in the Rodeo Drive scenes. But it was it was cut. Never, never put into the movie. Oh, this is I love this scene. This Rodeo Drive scene, like with the kids asking about the movie.

It would have been it would have been so much better with that scene, though. I think I think that scene would have been fucking amazing. That would have been great, because like Averman asking them if they saw the captain from the love boat was great i just that was good stuff so is that the captain from the love boat yeah but so yeah so they're walking around they start uh trying to figure out because goldberg's looking for a present for his mom so trying to find a store that they can go into but of course it's it's rodeo drive these are like the fanciest stores in the world they're not gonna let these fucking idiot kids in here so they gotta get they gotta get creative heath

yeah wait hold on have you been to rodeo drive do they actually have like the like the fancy stores there do they actually come in like i've been to like huntington beach and irvine but like i've never been to beverly hills i guess the fact that you would put irvine in the same sentence as rodeo drive he's no no that's the only places in california i've been i went to irvine for business and then i went to huntington beach for pleasure irvine's a garbage town garbage i had dinner with kobe bryant in irvine though you did not have dinner with kobe bryant in irvine i know the story you didn't have dinner with him technically brandon did i have dinner with kobe bryant no no technically was kobe bryant eating dinner at the same time I was eating dinner in the same

restaurant 10 feet away I'll make a compromise with you Heath I will concede the fact concede to the fact that you had dinner with Kobe Bryant if you concede to the fact that you're from Iowa no I because there we go okay so there's caveats there's caveats to book like i will just oh god damn it brandon i had dinner with kobe bryant and i technically my birth certificate is iowa because i was born there but i have never actually lived in iowa i am a nebraskan. Okay. How dare? You know, Brandon, how dare?

So anyway, the question you were asking is, are the stores really like this? Is that what you were trying to ask? Yes. Are the stores actually like this? So yeah, the real high-end stuff will be like this to where the only way you could go in is by appointment. You know? Okay. Yeah. So yes. will be like this to where like you you you the only way you could go in is like by appointment you know okay yeah so so yes not not definitely not all of them but like the real high-end ones well that makes sense and then you can't have a hope that that's i mean their stuff is like hundreds and hundreds and some of those shoes are probably thousands and like you don't need a bunch of snot-not nose kids you know running their fingers through your expensive merch but goldberg's got a sense goldberg's got a plan

he's gonna get us in wait before the before the plan happens um i love that um first of all i cowboy duane is like if we were in in Texas, none of this would happen. But they go up when they realize that the buzzers won't let him in and Averman puts in an order. Yeah. He's like, I'll take four burgers, four fries. And what do you guys want to drink? And the guy's like, are you kids get out of here?

I cracked up at that, too. It's classic Averman. Good, cheeky fun. And the guy's just yelling at him. And this is where Goldberg says his uncle Aaron Spelling would be upset if they were treated with such disrespect. Goldberg plays it pretty cool actually because he doesn't he doesn't name drop aaron spelling per se he he buzzes in and then when when they give him the cold shoulder he goes i'm sure my uncle aaron would be heartbroken to hear this and then the

lady just infers she's like aaron spelling and he go what what does he say thank aaron yeah yeah so he you know he did he technically never said aaron spelling so a little uh smart little fucking guy here but so aaron the aaron spelling gets him in they're into the store right uh i don't know why they would want to go to this store in the first place anyway though like he's said he's going to buy something for his mom. Of course, you pick the fanciest store in the fucking world. Yeah. They just wanted to get in. Go to fucking Hallmark.

Get her something at the airport, Goldberg. What are we doing here? Well, and the stuff that he wants for his mom is definitely not on Rodeo Drive. It's in the airport yes exactly he's they're those they're an airport gift family yeah they're they're an airport gift kind of family but being the adolescent youth that he is he sees an opening for him to leverage this gift for his mother where they model some light summery clothing for the young gentleman they give him a they give these these fucking 12 year old kids a full fucking fashion show like they don't hold back and and they we even get a little uh little wink

yeah one of them even fucking winks at him what the hell is that about um they almost get this scene too after they get their beverages where the lady's like i know you boys you're team usa hockey uh and goldberg's like no we're aaron spelling's nephews yeah but the the old lady the old ladies don't rat them out though they're like no you're team usa uh what else is they're like we're we're real proud of you or something like that um yeah but they they don't they don't rat them out they let them stay in and that's when the fashion show starts and this whole this whole scene is just so uncomfortable i remember as a kid yeah because then gold's like, now we need some swimsuits.

And they just, well, the lady correctly says, you brats, get out of here. Well, so they get three, at least three, three or four outfits. At least three, I think. So three outfits by three different ladies are modeled for these kids. One of the ladies winks at him in the middle of one of the fashion shows. This whole scene, I remember as a kid watching this and being like, this is a little too much. And then coming back to it now, yeah, this scene's rough. Cut this out and leave Marc Maron in.

That's what they should have done. Yeah, this is not super necessary. I could have even used some more prank calling on the buzzer instead of this. Yeah. You know, some more of those funny, cheeky shenanigans from Abram. Yeah, and then the wink. I had a real problem. This is just the time Yeah. The wink. I had a real problem. This is just the time, so.

Yeah, I had a real problem with the wink. I don't know what it is. You're right, though. These times, like mid-90s, was real big for whatever reason. Real big on middle-aged women flirting with 12-year-old boys. Real big on it. Yeah. Don't you remember blank check oh that

was that was that was the worst that was the worst example that was so egregious like the undercover police officer lady was like could tell he had a little boy crush on her and so she like used it she was into it she she was into it that was they went way too far with that i remember i watched that movie back a few months ago and i was like holy shit she that that undercover police officer was grooming that kid oh my god because it was uncomfortable at the end he like confesses his love or whatever to her doesn't she say like like she's like call me call me in five years or call me in whatever it is you know what's what's your legal call me when you turn 18 gross dude unbelievable yikes yeah real

problematic 90 yeah yeah that's the vibe i got from this lady and her her wink it was i was i was not a fan of it could you know i could do without it yeah but so they finally get kicked out they finally get kicked out after goldberg asks for them to model swimsuits for him just and that's gold and that's classic goldberg just taking it one step too far. You're doing solid. Don't push the envelope too much here. That's youthful ignorance. Yeah, so that is about – let's see. It's like the 41-and-a-half-minute mark is where we're going to end it,

right here, right when they get kicked out. Yeah, but we have set the tone so far, Brandon. We got Bombay in like full-fledged business Bombay. Air Bombay is the loafer of the future. We've got the kids feeling themselves. The loafer of the future. That's it, dude. I don't think that's the tagline but it should be

it absolutely needs to be here welcome air bombays um you know we got the kids feeling themselves brandon coming off an 11-0 shutout that's always a recipe for trouble we have not only bombay but all of the kids well not all the kids most of the kids all the kids except for julie are riding are riding that confidence wave with Bombay. They're feeling hot. They're feeling taller than ever, taller than the world. That's what happens. Little kids pick up on that from the coaches. Exactly.

Just getting a little too big for their britches there. That's what Russ is there to try and take them down a peg, talking that shit. You know who's going to take them down a peg? It's my boy, the dentist. The dentist. They're going to be begging for mercy by the end of that Iceland game. He's going to be collecting teeth like nobody's business.

Oh, man, he's going to have like a necklace like they had back in the day. Like a tooth necklace. That'd be pretty sweet. Just walking up with a tooth necklace. Just got a whole bunch of fucking molars on there. Teethies knocked out. thanks for listening, everyone.
