It's not worth winning if you can't win! Andy, will you be Iceland? The bad guys from Mighty Ducks 2 don't think so. Here we are again, Brandon. We are back. We are starting episode 10 after we just finished up the Ducks rendition of Queen. We will, we will quack you. And we are stomping and we are clapping along.

But right now we kick episode 10 off with quack, quack. They're fucking buying into the USA ducks. Quack, quack. And on the other side, we've got Wolf the Dentist dancing, saying stuff that I'm not really sure. So he's like, it's on A, quack go east go eastland go ducks and god damn it brandon the crowd is in it i am losing my shit in my living room it is a beautiful moment in time it's episode 10 episode 10 this is the cake eaters podcast for everybody listening we are on our

final part of uh d2 the mighty ducks and as he just described we're in the climax of the movie it's championship game junior goodwill games 1994 iceland versus the united ducks of america uh the bad guys the good guys i'll let you decide which one's which i'm still not entirely sure after all these years later especially since bombay is a slytherin exactly but. But as you mentioned, we got just some sweet chants going from the bench, getting the team fired up. We got Queen, fucking Queen, playing in the background. James is dancing, James and Hector. Yeah. I forgot who Hector was for a second.

I was like, who the fuck is Hector? Use the brakes, baby. Yeah. Yeah, we're fucking Queen, dude. I don't know about you, but this movie is the main reason I know who Queen is. 100%. I was like, this song is so cool. I went through a huge Queen phase when I was like probably like third, fourth, and fifth grade.

I went through a huge queen phase because of this fucking movie. Yeah, yeah. Because of We Will Rock You Playing Here and then Spoiler Alert. They all sing We Are the Champions at the end. And it's amazing. Yeah, it's fantastic. But yeah, I went through a huge fucking queen phase i bought all the i bought all the fucking cds i knew all oh yeah dude i i knew

all the lyrics i know all the words to every fucking queen song oh i love that yeah i was like i was real into queen oh my god i was i mean i love these songs they would just i was uh you know before you could you know they had safe shower speakers and stuff like that you know you would just do a little shower singing from your memory and these two queen songs plus kiss rock and roll night party every day those are deep in the rotation in elementary school when i would get a little shower vocals going did you ever listen to to any other queen songs were you did you get heavy into queen no no not really i listened to all pop music and like i mean you know

hi i had an older sister too heidi was four years older than me and when you're that young you know they had a heavy influence we listened to a lot of new kids on the block we had all their concerts recorded on vhs tape um we actually had oh jesus i maybe shouldn't say that loud but we had we both got like microphone toy microphone sets and we would do like we would reenact the new kids on the block know, we were hanging tough, hanging tough. Oh, man. If Heidi's listening, she'll fucking love this. This new kids on the block content, because she, I actually got her a new kids on the block makeup bag for her birthday. There you go.

Anyways. Yeah, that's okay. Back to, back to the movie. But yes, them inserting Queen solidifies this soundtrack as chef's kiss. Amazing. Absolutely amazing. I'm pretty sure they play a bunch of Queen in D3 too, right? Don't they? Remember I told you, I have not watched D3 since I was a youth.

I'm not going to watch it until we watch it for this podcast because I need a fresh set of eyes on that bad boy to really see if I hated it as much as like, you know, I was not into it as a kid, D3. See, I fucking love that movie. I'm really pumped. I haven't watched it in a long time But I'm pumped to go through it It'll be a while before we got

We got to tackle Game Changers Season 2 before we do that Yep But So anyways We have got The We Will Quack You They did a great transition Into Freddie Mercury

And like the actual song They went from the chanting of We Will Quack You Then all of a great transition into Freddie Mercury and like the actual song. They went from the chanting of we will quack you. Then all of a sudden we got Freddie. He's singing his tune. Goldberg's dancing on the ice. No surprise there. He is the instigator of all things fun for the ducks. I mean, son of a gun.

And Brandon, I don't know if you hear that that is the choo-choo of the old momentum train going down the other side of the tracks headed towards the ducks that's that minnesota magic baby man all aboard for that i'm i'm here for it oh so we're we're starting uh the third third period Third period championship game Junior Goodwill games It's go time And we get right off the break Because we just had the most fucking motivational

10 seconds of movie That I've ever experienced In my entire life And right off the first face off We get Averman he gets wiped out as always, but he gets the pass up. And then Kenny hits it over to Guy. Guy hits it over to Connie, who rips that bad boy home. Connie Moreau, 4-2.

Classic Guy to Connie, dude. Oh, man. Just look at that connection. The perfect partnership. The tale as old as time. We've cut the lead in half. Four to two, Heath. Four to two.

Yep. And we're feeling good. We're feeling good. It was just a great move. And, of course, Connie, she's not celebrating all herself. She goes, hey, team, great job, great passing. You know why, Heath? Because she's a leader.

I was going to say because she's no lady she's a duck oh well oh damn it that's way better so much better all right so anyways um right after that we get we see some play we get goldberg with the save and then we get less averman with a real bad turnover in the zone he just gives that fucking puck away after gold goldberg tells him to watch out and then we get goldberg wildly overplaying the puck again fucking goldberg dude yeah as soon as we start getting something nice he just fucking ruins it you know yeah and then what happens gunner stall rips that bad boy home five two just like that just when the momentum train was heading down our tracks we get stopped in our place yeah because

you you can't you can't give that kind you can't give gunner stall any any kind of leash you give you give gunner stall an inch's going to take a mile. He's that good. Dude, you give him open space, turning it over like that? It was a very scrub play by Averman. We got to call him out on there. I mean, Averman's always been a liability. I mean, he's had some good play in this tournament.

Let's just say his glasses slipped or something, and he turned it over you know late game wardrobe malfunction and his glasses slipped and turn it over to gunner i don't think that makes it any better if anything that makes it that makes it worse because now now he's just he's an irresponsible glasses wearer well like we talked about in a previous episode, just needs to get those rec specs. Exactly. Needs those goggles.

God. Oh, so anyways, after, after we get that gunner stall goal, we got a Bombay quick timeout. We got everyone on the ducks bench and he says, okay, ducks, take a look. And Averman says, charlie what are you trying to do here this isn't the nba and then charlie being everyone's number one kiddo coach he says it's the perfect teamwork play brandon which it's no it's not it's. It's categorically not. Well, I think that's more of a statement about your coaching methodologies than Charlie's. It only involves two people. It's not the best teamwork.

Listen, you don't know shit about team hockey, Brandon. You ever seen an alley before? It's a lot of teamwork, but this is a callback to the street, the street hockey. When the, the dude, when Vladi Divac threw that puck over.

Oh no, it wasn't, it wasn't a Laker. Sorry. Yeah. It's not, it wasn't, it's Vladi Divac,

not Divac. Well, whatever. It's all the same thing. It's not the same first, last episode, you completely forgave Yugoslavia for all their war crimes. And now. That's not true.

Now you're flat out disrespecting Vlade Divac who had to live through that by mispronouncing his name. You don't know how his name is pronounced. You can't. Vlade Divac. That's how he pronounces it. Well, whatever. I like my version better. Sorry, Vlade. his name's pronounced you can't vladdy divas that's how he pronounces it well whatever i like my version better sorry vladdy i like to i do like to sing his name to that snoop song though what's new stuff vladdy daddy oh vladdy daddy we like to party we don't cause trouble and guess

what brandon we don't bother nobody that That's classic Vlade Divas. Yeah. Yeah. I'm going to – that's my next project, Brandon. I'm going to do TikToks. I'm going to do spoken word raps while the video plays in the background. Yeah. It's going to blow up.

It probably will. Especially if you do it about – MC Heath on the mic. Especially if all your raps are about 1990s NBA stars. Yeah. I just insert my own lyrics where I want to. Yeah. Exactly.

All right. But so the callback to the street hockey scene, if everybody remembers, they lose the puck over the fence and then the dude grabs it from the car and throws it he alley-oops it yep he says it and it was a great fucking alley-oop because that was a far throw he was across the street on a leveled fucking uh blacktop that's a that's a far fucking throw and he nails it yeah he might have been an angel in the outfield for all we know that's true he's probably maybe a dodger he could have been a dodger in the infield with that cannon he probably plays third base. Well, I was talking about the movie Angels in the Outfield.

I know. The Disney classic. I was telling you about my movie, Dodgers in the Infield. Do people even like the Dodgers anymore? They will once I put my movie out. That's the other movie because we're making the Trinidad and Tobago movie. That's my other movie that we're expanding the Mighty Ducks Cinematic Universe with is the story of that guy because he's the third baseman of the Los Angeles Dodgers. And then he just happens.

Randomly one day he comes across Team USA. And then that little throw was a touch of magic, and now he never misses a throw. There you go. I was trying to figure out how to extend the movie. I like that, though. Yeah. He gets some of that Minnesota miracle magic on his hand,

and then boom. Everybody keep your eye out for Dodgers in the infield. All right. So back in the game We'd see some slick skating from the Ducks And then we get the puck over to Cowboy Dwayne And Charlie yells Now Dwayne

Okay I was trying to remember Dwayne's the one who alley-oops it And then Cause Dwayne yells alley-oop boys And Banks Is skating To the front of the net. And then all of a sudden he gets tripped up from behind and that's when he fired.

Like he's tripped, he's tripped and he deflects the alley-oop in front of the net underneath the goal. That's the other thing I wanted to mention when, when, when you brought up Charlie saying this is the best teamwork play. Because – It almost doesn't work.

It only works because of sheer luck. It's 99% luck. Because – so Dwayne is right about at the goal line. He's right about in line with Goldberg when he alley-oops it. When he alley-oops it, Banks and one of the Iceland defenders are at center ice. So Dwayne alley-oops it. Then Banks takes off for the goal. And like you said, he gets tripped.

And he ends up in the midst of his trip batting the puck out of midair into the net. Yeah. 99% sheer luck. And the other 1% is just banks being a fucking boss well i see no teamwork brandon i first you know you're neglecting the sweet skating i was talking about from team usa prior to duane getting the puck but we also don't see the the board that charlie draws it up on maybe that was part of it banks fakes a fall and then deflects the puck underneath the goalie's legs as he's laying on the ground just like coach charlie drew it up just like he drew it up sure sure sure oh man but uh my favorite is in the crowd they show yon and he's like oh my lanta how did that

goal go in but james and the crew they're like oh shit we saw that we got that they scored on us with that that's some soul skating right there oh my god absolutely uh team puffins suds all day shout out james the real the real hero that we all needed exactly and and bombay he yells all right charlie that away duane boom no no no credit to no congratulations to banks that's cool well banks is just doing it how they drew it up. All right. So then we get our boy Bob Myers back on the mic, and he says, play continues here in the final period. Bob Miller.

That's what he said. Oh, Bob. What did I say? Bob Myers. Isn't that the owner of the Warriors? Light years ahead guy. Isn't that him? Bob Myers. know NBA man

arrogant shit people still hate him for that light years ahead comment if there's one group of people that I would never ever want to meet it's NBA owners 100% let's jump back into the Ducks game.

We went a little off kilter there, but we got 5-3. The play is continuing into the final period. The hitting is picked up, but the Ducks are hanging in there. However, still down two goals with time running out. We've got bodies flying all over the ice, and we have the puck in the Ducks zone, Brandon. And then what do we get? We get your favorite slow ass.

Luis Luis, the flash Mendoza is on a breakaway and he can really fly. The speedster is in his way to the Iceland zone. And then all of a sudden, Brandon sudden Brandon boom we get Luis slamming on those breaks an absolute amazing just completely covering the Iceland goalie everywhere and Luis is

so shocked that he stops that Bombay from the bench has to be put it home Luis love it boom five hole boom right home and then did you see as he was celebrating like his the iceland teammates were like knocking the the ice shavings off the goalie in the background that was the worst fucking ice shower i've ever seen that was yeah ridiculous yeah put it in louise that court i i i feel bad for the iceland goalie he takes he takes a lot

of abuse in this final game he gets he gets well the game before he got the puck imprint on his hand remember that's true he's fucking he's having he's having a rough time he had the puck imprint from fulton then this game he gets beat up by kenny woo then he gets a fucking snow shower from louise probably blinded him. And then, spoiler alert, later on, he takes a fucking Fulton slap shot to the dome. Yeah. To the head. Yeah.

It's something you don't want to be when the Ducks are out there quacking with their magic going, is the opposing goalie. It's a dangerous, dangerous position to be in. So, but he rips it home down five to four. The crowd is going wild. Goldberg is like five, four. We are still in this. Come on,

we can do it. And Goldberg's, uh, the, the goalie masks that Goldberg and Julie, the cat come out in after they make the ducks change to the uniform top notch i'm pretty sure those are based on the mask that gee bear wore for the first season as the ducks goalie i could i could be wrong but i'm pretty sure he wore that

design and then they just copied it for the movie i love that yeah um yeah yeah the the mask the jerseys everybody looks fucking great uh and then after after so it's five four and we get bombay on the bench to rest yes now two minutes can you get your shot off yes so the the the thing that so the so he just we got two minutes can you get your shot off? Russ is like, I'll give it a shot. Then it cuts to – I believe it cuts to Stanson, right, talking to Team Iceland. And his exact words, he tells Iceland, if Russ is out on the ice, I want three people on him at all times. Three. Three.

Yeah. people on him at all times three three yeah that is such a defensive liability that it's i think it speaks volumes of not stanson's coaching ability but bombay's coaching ability bobby is now in stanson's head he got him quacked up no no no. Other way around. I think it speaks to how terrible of a coach Bombay is to where a solid strategy on stopping him is to put three people on one guy because the dude can only win off of trick plays. And so Stanton is like, I don't need to actually play defense because they're not going to actually play offense. So I'm just going to put three people on him and putting people putting three people on him would have worked if bombay wasn't such a fucking cheat it's okay let's get into that for a second because i got a lot of questions there's a lot of a lot of confusion going on in my brain as this is unfolding so two minutes can you get your shot i don't know they're gunning for me make it happen is what make it what bombay said you know why you know why you need to make it

happen heath because your best isn't good enough yeah did you have you gotten that bombay motivational quote put on a poster yet oh i i made it i haven't printed it out yet i made it but i sent it i sent it to you right i don't think so you need to send it i'll send it to you because i made a little design um i just i haven't printed it out yet oh that's good put that on the merch store a little poster so anyways all right so everyone on iceland we get on the ice everyone on iceland absolutely crushes russ into the boards fulton lays out a dude and it actually, I think it was Sanderson. Fulton lays out Sanderson and just starts hammering

him with his stick on the ground. That was great stuff from Fulton. Really making him pay. That's a penalty though. So the ref breaks all this up. Stops play and Bombay is yelling his head off for a timeout.

Timeout! Timeout! Timeout! Timeout! You know, like he does when his voice gets real high. Hey, I'm going to check his head off! And so, and then Bombay yelled, Goldberg, huddle up. You know, let's listen up, everyone.

This is what I want to do. And Wolf is saying, 56, the shooter. Tyler's on the ice, covered with three men. Three men. Go Ducks, as we break the huddle, Brandon. And so here we have it. The Ducks with the puck in their own zone. They're down by a goal.

No one knows why. They're just skating around with the fucking puck in their own end zone for 20 seconds but the announcer called it out they didn't get it past him again 95 of the time bombay spends getting ready why are we spending 20 seconds getting ready for this yeah it's uh and and literally he's like, they have to attack. The clock is ticking. And so and then Bombay. All right, go. And here we go.

Jermaine in his own zone gives it to Mendoza. Mendoza behind the net starts up on the attack. Then he drops it back to to Goldberg. He gave it to the goaltender Goldberg. Wait, that's not Goldberg he gave it to the goaltender Goldberg wait that's not Goldberg and then James our boy exclaims from the stands it's Russ

and Averman hands Russ his stick Wolf cries out in hilarious fashion. The goalie. I thought it was great what he did. The goalie. Classic stuff.

Russ tees up the puck faster than we'd ever seen him tee it up in any other game before this. Hits that knuckle puck wolf is screaming no as that knuckle puck is just knuckling through the air like a son of a gun and then boom it hits the back of the net brandon boom five five and end of regulation so this i wrote i have my notes can you feel it this scene is insane because so first things first how on earth did they switch uniforms and goalie pads with no one noticing on the bench after wolf literally just like stares down their bench to watch what they do the only way that would have worked is if they both would have went to the locker room yeah and then both came back which is just and then you could clearly see goldberg like where was goldberg during this whole situation he's just sitting on the bench

and nobody notices that it's not goldberg i like to think that he was ducked down like on all fours hiding i thought that i was like i hope that Goldberg is like ducked down behind the boards and the team is like huddled around him blocking him off. Or he's like sitting down with his back to the middle partition. So he's like right underneath the window that Stanton's at. So that way he can't see him. He's like looking around. But so that alone is fucking ridiculous and amazing. But then so they get the play going.

They pass it back to Russ. Russ – so everybody had skated into the neutral zone, right? Yeah. And so to take the Iceland players away. And then they pass it back to the goalie, Russ, who – so Russ gets this, gets the puck at most at his own blue line, right? If not further away from the attacking zone. Like a half-court shot is what it looked like. It's way more than a half-court shot.

It's a half-court shot at best. And that's – so because he gets it at the blue line, he doesn't – and then he takes his mask off, which they would probably stop play if the goalie is ripping his mask off. That's what I thought too. Like that helmet is required in youth sports. And then Averman comes out of nowhere and gives him his stick. So then now Averman doesn't have a stick.

But so then he goes – at most he skates up to center ice. At most. That's as far up as he could be. I thought he was like – I thought he was just on the other side of the blue line to be fair, like in between center ice and the blue line, like living right there. So when they pass the puck back to him, he gets it at his blue line. OK? I like looked at it frame by frame. He gets it at his blue line. For him to skate from that blue line up to the next one,

you would think at some point at any of that time an Iceland player would skate up to him, right? Well, if he was as fast as Luis Mendoza, it would be blue line to blue line in seven seconds. Is that what it is? I forget what it is, but still, seven seconds. Another motherfucker could have came up there. And if he's – so it shows nobody is in his way.

If he's just past the blue line, then that means everybody else is in front of the blue line. And offside. And offside because he's got the puck. Yeah. I thought – I was like there's no way the team isn't offsides in this play. So that's why – No way. I'm thinking he's just on the other side of center ice.

So like farther away than center ice, just past center ice. And then all of the other ducks are lined up on the correct side of the blue line. That's the only thing that would make sense. And then he fucking tees it up. Again, he's got all the time in the world because apparently Iceland is just staying in there. Even though Stanton – They're shocked. The goalie.

I was going to say Stanton is yelling the goalie. Somebody should – where the fuck is Gunner? Well, listen, Brandon. This is the team that also got frozen by Kenny Wu earlier in the game. True. That's true. That's true. But then – so then he, he,

he lines it up. He knuckle pucks it from center fucking ice and he scores. And of course he scores with zero with no time remaining. Of course. That happens all the time. Brandon. It's literally impossible, but sure.

Sure. Unbelievable. Dude, that whole scene. I was like, you got to be fucking shitting me. Oh, I was waiting for it, too. The whole time I was watching, I was like, oh, boy, there's not a single moment of this that is going to get a pass from Brandon. No, absolutely not that was the most heroic goal i've ever seen and you were not here for a single second of it let me let me let me let me preface this as a kid i was all in for it

as a kid i was like fuck yes that's a very that's a big theme for me while watching this movie back is like as a kid everything was awesome everything made perfect sense but i was also an idiot so it's to be fair that's wasn't i wasn't a hard mark to get over on exactly i was i was at the moment in my life where i still thought wrestling was real and i watched wcw regularly like i remember getting in an argument with an older neighbor. Like, I'm sorry. You think Sting and Vader have dinner together? You're an idiot.

That was me as a kid. So anyways. But Brandon, your hatred for the goal and how realistic it is or not, guess what? We got a tied game. 5-5, man. 5-5. Regardless of my opinions, it's a goal. It's a goal.

Yeah. And regardless of your opinions on Goldberg, none of this magic would have happened without him in between the pipes. That's true. If you had started Julie, I don't know if you'd get away with this. Exactly. Because they're going to recognize that that's not Julie the cat much sooner.

But with that tie at the buzzer, we get the championship game coming down to a shootout.

Each team picks five of their best. One-on-one with the goalie. No rebounds. Best of five shots wins it all. It's a little weird they didn't do any overtime, just straight to a shootout. Well, overtime's just more of the game, Brandon. The shootout brings the drama. Yeah.

Have you ever written a movie before? Get it together, man. I'm in the process of writing Dodgers in the infield. That's – if you're wasting your time on that instead of the Trinidad and Tobago, Junior Goodwill Games movie, I'm mad at you because that's the movie we need. Trinidad and Tobago, that movie is going to write itself. Especially – As long as I got – Ample celebrations and steel drums.

As long as I got the steel drums and the Jamaican flag, we're going to be fucking great. Why didn't they just do Jamaica then if that was going to – maybe do they think it was because it was too on the nose with cool runnings? One of two things happened. Like one of two things happened. Either one, the intern that they hired to put that graphic together shit the fucking bed and nobody cared enough to double check him. Or two, those were the original countries they planned on and then for whatever reason they had to switch. Someone was like, Hey, that's, we just,

we already did a movie about that. So let's not, or like the Jamaican embassy was like, no, absolutely not. Like we fucking hate hockey. Yeah. We can buy,

we will bobsled, but get that fucking hockey shit out of here. Not approved. All right. So I've got every single shot shot for shot for the overtime are you ready for this brandon oh i got i got it down to you okay all right i'm assuming you'll have commentary for each one so i'm ready um so first up for the us of a us of a ducks we have the tough tough talking Jesse Hall and he goes, he

does some fancy moves and he fires it past that cake eater goalie for a one zero U S of a lead. Boom. Love that. And then clean goal by Jesse. Perfect. Yep. Great. Great move. Then we get Iceland up.

I did not see a name on Iceland. Dude. I, I, I, I, I, I,

I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I,

I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I,

I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I,

I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I,

I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I,

I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I,

I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I,

I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I,

I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I,

I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I,

I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I,

I, I, I, I, I, fierce and fired home a laser. I made sure to read the back of his jersey. Yeah, that was their first goal. 1-1. It comes later, I thought. Unless they had him do two. I always...

Which one do you have him down as? One. Because the second guy, they don't show the number. The third goal. Third goal. Maybe they do have him do it twice. See, I told you that third goal is Sanderson. And this, listeners, is just a little bit of taste of how the magic is made. If you're listening on this.

I'm pretty sure they have him do it twice, though. Because I'm pretty sure the first goal they show his face and then the second one they show number 27 the back i had one and two unidentifiable number two they definitely don't show they don't show a number or a face the skates yeah all right well controversy love it but i will have to comment again though on this first goal goldberg gets juked out of his fucking shorts again 70 oh it's 74 i thought it said sanderson oh oh hold on i think we have a few apologies to dish out. Maybe one to your co-hosts for being right all the time. Well, I'm just going to cut it out. That way nobody.

Oh, wow. Manipulate. That's that is. OK, so Brandon, we came to an agreement when we did this that we would not do a ton of research and we would just, you know, raw dog these episodes right onto the air. I've never agreed to raw dog anything i think i like phrasing it that way it's it's funny to me okay but yeah so okay you're right so so thank you oh wait hold on what was that i said you were right olaf was not olaf was not the first one do you know who the first one is though? No.

Uber Javik. Number 74. Uber Javik. Which again, none of these names make any sense in the Icelandic language. I'm assuming they're probably family or children of immigrants to Iceland. Uber Javik, that's for sure. That's a slavic name i'm assuming maybe maybe you go slavia i don't know but what i do know and i mentioned it before goldberg just gets absolutely embarrassed on this first goal yeah he gets he gets roughed up

shocker he's wildly out of position after he gets juked once. And so then after that, we get your boy. D. Jermaine. He's next up with the puck, and he has a slick move in front of the net, and he rattles that bad boy home two to one. Boom. Shooter.

Rips it home. Then this is where we get the Icelandeland pants skates and stick so i'm assuming so i'm assuming because i i'm assuming i'm just gonna take a guess here because throughout the movie i was a i was able to identify five icelandic people or Icelandic team members, right? Yeah. Gunner stall. Number nine, Olaf Sanderson,

27 Uber Yavik, who we just discussed. He was 74. Uh, Amslic who we we've, we've discussed earlier. He's number five. Yeah. And then the other one that's shown very briefly is number eight.

Wessel. So I'm assuming, I'm assuming foot guy is Wessel. Okay. So let's assuming I'm assuming foot guy is Wessel. Okay, so let's assume that. But it does not matter because we get a glove save and a beauty by Greg

Goldberg. The first one ever. First beauty of a save ever. Congratulations, Goldberg. And it was like it almost looked like he struck a pose with it too. Way to not let your team down. Yeah, that let your team down. Yeah, that's next. And I got to question Bombay's decision-making here because Dwayne has struggled throughout the tournament.

And he has Dwayne in there kind of doing some slick dangles, I guess, to catch the okie-dokie, the goalie, I guess. So, Dwayne, i will defend bombay kind of like because granted i i wouldn't put duane in the shootout but i think what what bombay is thinking is duane's two uh flaws one he doesn't pass the puck and two he can't get past iceland defenders he doesn't have to do either of those things on the shootout so that's true that's true it's just dirty fucking dangles all days boys but guess what doesn't pay off doesn't he starts off he starts off fucking hitting it in

the air right what the fuck yeah he's just like tapping it up in the air and then drops it down. And, and what a fucking showboat, man. Another glove saved by Iceland goalie post dirty dangle. We get Sanderson now. Oh, and Sanderson comes up looking fierce and he backs it up because he rips a laser shot past Greg Goldberg to, to blast that baby home. And then next up is fulton

the duck's own version of sanderson he skates right up comes to a full stop he rockets a slap shot right into the goalie. This is where our poor Iceland goalie, his concussion comes into play. Absolutely. But it hits him in the head and then dribbles over the goal line. It hits him in the

helmet to knock him down and then bounces off the helmet again to pass through the goal. And that is just great cinematography right there it was just man i was bought insulted injury right yeah wow but that poor kid the thing that drives me crazy with the these shootout scenes because fulton does it gunner does it does olaf stop? Does Olaf come to a stop? Yeah. Everybody comes to a fucking full stop in the middle of a show.

What are we doing here? Yeah. That's the point of the shootout is your one-on-one get a little momentum going, fake them out. Yeah. Hit it. Do the old triple deke. What are we waiting here?

What are we doing here? Do a quadruple deke. If you're feeling nasty. Yeah. The, the old, uh, the old nine deke. Yeah. That's my favorite. The full stops were driving me crazy. Yeah.

And then another Iceland dude comes up. I missed his name on this one again. This is number five, so it's Amzlik. Okay, he gets one stick side on Goldberg. Amzlik, however you say that. However you say the obviously Slavic last name.

But yeah, stick side on Goldberg. And then we get it to my boy Banks, who gives that wrist a little testeroony at center ice. And he says, not today, my friend my friend we are healthy we are ready to go and he triple deeks at least i i thought he triple deeked it i have i have i have that in my notes triple deek question mark because it looked like a triple deek okay but i feel very validated i was like i i'm pretty sure banks just rocketed home and pretty fucking badass triple deke and that is why we love banks mvp of the ducks yeah he's he's the best all right so now it all comes down to this brandon your boy from Iceland,

Gunnar Stahl. Gunnar. But before Gunnar can go, we get a little action on the bench. Bombay comes up to Julie the Cat, and he says, Julie the Cat, you got the fast glove. I know this kid's move.

Triple deke, glove side. Anticipate it, and you got him. I love that Gunner's doing the triple deke against bombay love it yeah but b i call i call bullshit on bombay knowing his move how do you know his move bombay studying the tape brandon don't you remember from that montage i need a montage you remember that from south park yeah when they did that i need a montage yeah but we just had there's i there's not a a bone in my body that thinks bombay ever watched any tape about of gunner stall there's no fucking listen there's no the leading scorer of the tournament he didn't need to do a lot of research it was probably probably in the paper. I guarantee it wasn't. There's just gibberish in the paper, Heath.

Well, you're reading the wrong paper. The hockey publications I was reading, it said Gunnar Stahl. Fucking just a real, real master of that Triple Deke. Bombay who was what the Triple Deke is saying right now. Triple Deke, Gloveside. Yep. Triple D. Bombay who is what the triple D is saying right now. Triple D glove side. Yep. And then I love I love when she goes, well, what if he goes stick side? He's fancy.

He'll go glove. Oh, you fancy, huh? Which I don't from everything we've. Gathered from Team Iceland and from there's no fancy bone in their bodies. Yeah, they're not fancy. They're fucking knock-your-tooth-out, grind-you-up kind of people. Yeah, they're the bad boy pistons of this tournament.

Yeah. They're going to muck it up. They're not doing... They're not pulling any fucking free-wheely duck shit. Yeah, that's for sure. There's no flying V or... I'm trying to think what you would call it if you were if it was like viking related the the viking helmet helmet w anyway anyway anyway so anyway bombay makes the great decision of uh of taking a completely cold

goalie who hasn't played a single fucking man, a single second of this tournament to put him, put her in the very last shot of the tournament. Well, the announcer says it, Brandon, he says, I don't know about this move from Bombay,

putting in a cold goalie to face the leading scorer of the tournament. Yeah. Bombay is not setting uh julie the cat up for for success here nobody is a great great ringmaster and this is his circus brandon and we're all just here for to enjoy the ride he's not a great ringmaster the the the the he he sets julie up to fail this entire tournament and the only reason that she is able to succeed in spoiler alert stop this gunner stall shot is because she's a fucking badass because she's julie the cat yeah zero help from bombay zero yeah listen dude i cats have super quick hands cat jesse caught my caught my sock when i

i got them all wound up and he just reached out and caught my sock when i was walking walking by man they don't call her the cat for nothing he's yep exactly so but we get julie out there and julie is whacking the post with her stick which i always love you know nothing gets you fired up like smacking the post with your heart with your goalie stick i love and then i not to interrupt you but my favorite thing one of my favorite things about goalies and in hockey in general is when uh when you see like a when you see them get beat by a shot but then it hits the post and goes off and the goalie goes over and like taps the post a good job buddy thank you thanks friend yeah appreciate you buddy it's just that's just good juju right yeah that you're putting out

there so and then gunner smirks after he sees julie the cat in there and i love this line from the announcer hang on to your hats here we we go. Oh, yeah. I'm ready. Because if she stops him, this is for all the marbles, Brandon. Every single marble is on the board. And so. If he scores, then I would assume we just keep going, right? Yep.

Yep. It would probably be sudden death is what I would assume. Yeah. That's what I would assume. Yeah. That's what they do in, in NHL. Once you get past the best of part, but you know, we'll never, we'll never know.

He's never known. Yep. We'll never know because we get one, we get two, we get three, and then we get a complete stop on his way down and he fires homer wrister and we get a great just a pause it's silent no one knows does she have it we're just waiting waiting and then what do we get just a nice little toss of the just a little flip of the puck out of the the out of the mitt from julie and the

celebration is on brandon son of a bitch ducks win baby usa ducks we're flying high oh my god uh they're they're quackalicious in your britches they're you know they're getting quacked up the celebration is on brandon the usa fucking ducks of america united ducks of america oh my god it feels good yeah feels good feels amazing the comeback the epic comeback the culmination of all of all of our hard work yeah it's here it is tibbles and yawn are just losing their minds in the stands james and the soul skaters you know they're loving every single second of this victory and then you know we get a little sportsmanship from the always emotional intelligent julie the cat she just pops that helmet off and says, hey, that was a nice try, Gunner.

But then the announcer, you'll love this. He's like, Bombay, the Minnesota miracle man has done it again. Dude. You can't stop him. He's unstoppable. I always like this too. Cause like Julie is skating and Charlie is running out and I think they're supposed to hug, but you could tell both of them were maybe moving a little too fast.

So Charlie kind of moves out of the way and Julie tries to like grab him with an arm and Julie just gets wiped out as they're cheering and celebrating. Do you notice that? Yeah. That tends to, I feel like that always happens in those situations yeah that was really nice and authentic i loved it yeah because like uh like i can't really remember any instances of like real life instances off the top of my head but i feel like i've seen that happen especially especially in hockey on skates when you're like you know you're running to each other in that big of a

mass because you're like oh i'm running there's like three people that i'm running to which one am i going to grab and then you know yeah he's like i'm the only one without skates and a pad on i probably shouldn't be at the bottom of this doggy pile oh he should be at the very bottom he's the he's coach coach charlie you know oh but before we really get into the celebration though brandon we get one last moment wolf the dentist stares down gunner he's just absolutely livid you lost it for me i don't know how i feel about this scene and then gunner says you lost it for yourself let's go shake the hands yeah and then it shows wolf who's like having like a real come to jesus moment after yeah after gunner says that to him because you even right before it cuts

away from him you see him like raise his eyebrows and like like nod his head like oh maybe i did maybe i maybe i shouldn't have been quite a dick you gotta have a little bit of fun sprinkled in with that i don't i just i don't know how i feel about this especially with the the interaction that he has with bombay after this him and and um stanson because stanson says good job good job coach and he says thanks wolf we'll see you again so i just i don't know how i feel about him fucking bad like him being a dick to gunner and then turn around the next scene and he's like happy-go-lucky with bombay well i feel like he was just he was just red with anger and then when

gunner said that it kind of like slapped him he's like oh shit i i can't yell at these kids for this they they choked but it's my fault too yeah i choked with them i don't know you just had that moment of clarity brandon yeah but i feel like you i don't know i feel like let wolf the dentist have a moment of clarity that's not we let bombay do it five times a movie well the dentist can go from zero to hero. That's not the problem I have. The problem I have is they give you a moment of non-clarity, and then right after it, they give you the clarity.

There's no time to fucking breathe. So I would have... So it was darkest before the dawn, Brandon. I would have preferred either A, he's not a fucking dick to Gunner, and then you keep the bombay scene or he's a dick to gunner and then just don't show the bombay scene and he's just pouting on the bench yeah gunners being the leader yeah they just wanted some closure there did you like what he said he's uh but they don't give gunners like good job captain duck they don't charlie they

give closure to bombay and stanson but they don't give closure to Gunner and Stanton. You know, that's that's the issue. If you're going to give closure, like let them fucking close it all up. You know, I don't know what to tell you, Brandon. Just Gunner says, good job, Captain Duck. And then Wolf says, good job, Bombay. And then the celebration is on USA, USA. I feel like hacksaw Jim Duggan speaking to all the wrestling we're talking

about. Oh, USA. Come on. Tough guy. Oh goodness. Um, I know exactly what you're talking about.

Um, but so, so yeah, so gunner and team Team Iceland, losers. Yeah. They suffer to the Minnesota Miracle, man, just like everybody else. Yeah, and I always loved this as a kid when Banks would skate up to Charlie with the flag, and then Charlie was just waving that american flag and why didn't

they have uh just fireworks and guns going off you know just america is just everywhere why didn't they have a trophy because i that whole scene i was like he should be holding the trophy not the flag especially because we've we've cast aside america we're ducks now we don't give a shit about the usa why are we waving the flag brandon you don't know shit about patriotism that's all i'm saying i don't i don't it needs to be flexible now un unwavering patriotism is the only way to go heath there's Heath. There's nothing bad that could possibly come from that. Yeah, well, and I did have a little bit of beef with the subtitles at the end, too,

because when they're all celebrating, like, I'm hearing quack, quack, quack, but the subtitles are hitting me with ducks, ducks, ducks, and now I just, I have trust issues with the Disney subtitles, you know? They've led me astray a couple times this movie. They have, this movie they have the yeah they have uh so but yeah so so i i don't know i don't understand why they didn't have a

trophy though and there was a flag i feel like a trophy would have been would have been nice why would you had a trophy in the first one yeah but why would you want that when you can just get the you know really get everyone fired up with a good old flag wave well it's not a good flag wave charlie fucking rumbles that flag up real quick i was just gonna ask if you saw that he he got the flag all wrapped up because when you see him skating with it in the background it's you just there's there's no stars it's just he got he got like three he got like three waves out of that before it fucking folded up on him. Oh, man.

That was good stuff. Good stuff. But my favorite is the transition that we have post-celebration. Oh, I was going to bring that up. We see the airplane flying, and then it fades out to the flying V of real-life ducks. And the most pixelated horrible shot of ducks ever. It was,

that was great stuff. The plane to the flying V was ridiculous. It was, that was amazing. Brandon ridiculous. It's the perfect transition. Cause you know what? Ducks fly together.

Yeah, I guess, I guess. Wake up, sir. Wake up. I love how that's bombay's like first thing he says after they're winning though is uh let's go home team yep let's get let get me out of this

hollywood lifestyle get me back to palookaville minnesota because i am falling apart well not only do they go back to palookaville, Minnesota, then they go on a camping trip. Who doesn't celebrate the Junior Goodwill Games gold medal victory with a camping trip? Come on. Duh. A little campfire, a little guitar. And we get Goldberg absolutely scorching a marshmallow. Yeah.

So I actually had beef with this where like anyone who has ever roasted marshmallows knows you start it on fire a little bit and then you you just blow that shit out real quick real quick and nasty and then you smoosh it because that's how you get some of the nice chocolate melt on your s'more when you put that so like you know just what kind of stupid asshole stuff was that goldberg such a goldberg knows how to make a fucking s'more yeah sorry i didn't mean to i didn't mean to have that much beef with the s'more thing but like dude oh i had beef with it too my people like everyone knows you just blow out real quick or give it a little swish and it's gone and then you just my beef was more with charlie than

goldberg because goldberg it caught on fire and goldberg freaked out a little bit but then charlie grabs it and throws it into the dirt charlie should have blown it out but that's that's a waste of a marshmallow charlie are you paying for the marshmallows because you're just fucking throwing them away brandon you worried about them paying for marshmallows when they drove a fucking Zamboni through that? That's what I'm saying. The Team USA's Junior Goodwill game budget is already shot because they had to spend it on fixing those boards.

They don't have enough money for marshmallows. We can't be throwing marshmallows in the ground. But everyone, nonetheless, everyone has a real nice laugh at Goldberg. Oh, that Goldberg. Can't goalkeep, but he can't. And he can't make marshmallows. Can't cook marshmallows. Can't goalkeep.

He's struggling. But he can cook up a really mean grinder, though, at Goldberg Delicatessens. I doubt he's doing much cooking at the... No, he's just busting tables, remember? He's busting tables and working the cash register. That's all he's doing. Yeah, yeah. So, but this is where we hit one of my favorite parts.

And so this is where campfire scene, Cowboy Dwayne is on the guitar, and Averman hits us with a very flat um spoken word i've paid my dues time after time no it's not digging that i i thought you were gonna keep going i thought you were gonna see oh that's i did i thought you were like jesus christ this is disgusting because i mean i'm not i'm not gonna lie to you it wasn't great uh but i figured you were just gonna keep going no i well that's it i was trying to do it like averman did because he's like i paid my dues time after time and then he but he's doing spoken word but the team comes in and is harmonizing real nice.

And I'm assuming it's Portman really pulling his weight. Or do you think it was not the actual team harmonizing with him? Oh, I don't know. I would assume it's the team plus like professionals. That professional backing vocal. That way, really, you know. Yeah. That professional backing vocal. That way it really, you know. Yeah.

But the best part is we get the Bash brothers and Goldberg and Charlie. It goes on and on and on and on. We, oh God, we are the champions, my friends. And we get Tibbles looking across and he gives Bombay a nod. And Bombay gives Tibbles a little fist pump tiger woods you know we fucking did it yeah oh and i messed up the um i said earlier they transitioned the we will rock you to freddy it was actually this one where they transitioned to freddy from like the kids singing. They do. They do both.

I'm pretty sure they do because we will crack you. We will crack you. We will. We will smoke crack with you. We will quack you. They transfer that from. I'm pretty sure I could be wrong. I could be misremembering, but I'm pretty sure they transfer that from the crowd to Freddie.

That's what it is. That's what it is. And then this one's from The Kids to Freddy. Great transition by the music department. Dude, the music department, the soundtrack, just lights out. Lights fucking out. Yeah. Knocked it out of the park for sure.

Yeah. And, like, obviously me and Heath love this movie. It's the most flawlessly flawed movie that is out there. We just spent 10 plus hours talking about everything that's wrong with it. But this movie is fantastic. It's amazing. 10 out of 10. We recommend it to everybody.

If you haven't seen it, you're an idiot. Go watch the movie it's just when you watch the movie in 10 minute segments looking at every single second in detail it's easy there's a lot of flaws yeah there's a lot of there's a lot of flaws but like but like everything that's good it has flaws right for what like an hour and. For what? Like an hour and 20 minutes? An hour and 30 minutes. You throw this on and just get lost in it. And it's amazing.

Yeah, absolutely. It's such a wild ride. Like it's, oh God, I really do. I just watched it again this morning in its entirety. And I was like, son of a bitch. there's not a lot of really good continuity, but like it doesn't matter. None of it matters. Like every second is like, oh, I love this scene.

Oh, I love this scene. You know, from the soul skating to the, you like the Wheaties box to the first practice, all the games, the, the shenanigans in the in the room even though we've picked it apart like steven brill the writer and creator fantastic nailed it so glad he made this movie and the other two movies and game changers and all the actors especially the kid actors again like all the all the kid ducks crushed it. Just like they crushed in the first one, the new ducks. Fantastic. Well,

they pick some fucking heavy hitters for those new ducks, right? Like doing the cat was, was in rookie of the year or whatever, which one she was in. Rookie of the year. Was max. Every,

every single new duck. They, every single new duck they brought in was 10 out of 10 fucking fantastic choice fantastic character fantastic actor nailed it perfect let's let's wrap up d2 brandon because this was a journey i do want to talk about i said before i do want to talk about before we we we cast off the the end credits here the we are the champions great great fucking ending credit song and then uh once it cuts away from that and it goes into the black screen with the credits rolling the song they play there do you remember that do you know that song you don't

talk about no idea so like it was playing really loud in the background when i was doing some microphone checks early today and i was like what song is this it's the end of the mighty ducks it's it's so it's called it's i'm surprised you don't know this song it's it's it's called rock the pond by uh john passaha and it's a it's a mighty duck song the chorus literally it goes mighty ducks of america that's the that's the whole chorus we are the mighty ducks of america you i the that's the whole chorus we are the mighty ducks of america you i can't believe you didn't actually listen to that song go back i didn't i like usually after we are the champions starts rolling that's when i roll out dude it's uh go go go i'm sure it's on i'm sure it's on spotify if not it's on youtube it's on youtube for sure go look it up we're

we're done um yeah it yeah, it's like a, it's a, like a pump up rock song and anthem. Yeah. And the, the chorus is, it's about the mighty ducks and the chorus is we are the, it's,

we are the mighty ducks of America. I think something like that, but it's, yeah, it's a mighty duck song. It's amazing. Fantastic. Hmm.

Love that. Yeah. Um, there you go. Yep. There you go. Yeah. So D2 all wrapped up. Yeah. We're going to next episode will be the cakeys. Yes.
