It's not worth winning if you can't win!
Hello everybody, this is the Cake Eaters Podcast.
My name is Brandon, I've got my co-host Heath with me, and we are talking Game Changers
episode 3 of this fantastic second season we've got going here, Heath.
And we have yet another instance of these movies where the takeaway is everybody needs
to go to therapy you know i have i have written in my notes
multiple times throughout this episode go to therapy you know who would love to hear that
a therapist go to therapy that's i mean it's talk talk people talk about stuff
we talked about that through we talked about that a lot in this podcast but
you know brandon this has just been my friendly weekly watching the paint dry moment and it was
delightful you know like i have been well known to just paint a wall and wash it dry for fun it's
it's it's very similar to the show it does feel like that and it's getting progressively
worse i felt like episode one i still had some hope i was like okay this might not be terrible
two was a real snooze fest and then oh boy three and three is not not any better yeah three um
dropped right off a cliff and and you know brandon we talked about this off air right before we jumped on. It just, it's lost the Minnesota miracle magic.
We lost the miracle.
We lost the miracle, man.
You know why?
It's because we don't have any fucking old Scandinavian men.
That's why.
There's no magic in the air.
Like, this is just.
We need Hans.
We need a Hans or Janswns or you know my personal favorite
winnie the great great granddaughter we need we need some scandinavian magic going here heath
because it's it's unbelievable let's listen this is exactly why i thought that they were distantly
related to santa claus like this just doesn't have any Christmas spirit.
You didn't think they were distantly related to Santa Claus.
You thought they were Santa Claus.
No,
I said they're distantly related.
No,
you said run the tape,
check the tape.
I will.
I will.
I like to think I just edited.
I just edited clips for that episode.
Not too long ago.
I remember you specifically said he was Santa Claus.
And I said,
no, he can't
be Santa Claus. Maybe he's related.
Then you hopped onto it.
He still could be Santa Claus.
At first
you were dead set.
I think you were talking about Jan.
I think you were dead set that Jan
was Santa Claus. That would be awesome.
You don't know
shit about
santa claus talk about a plot twist yeah that's uh man speaking of plot twists let me just rag on
the lord of the rings rings of power series for one second they tried to do like a super cool
plot twist at the end hot fucking garbage i was personally offended. Like, I tried. I tried to give the Rings of Power series a shot when I was watching it on Big Mike's massive 4K TV.
It was much better.
But then this wannabe fucking plot twist at the end, Brandon, I'm done.
I'm out.
Full out.
Lord of the Rings fans, don't waste your time.
Amazon, you should be fucking ashamed of yourselves
it wasn't the plot twist on the season finale so i mean yeah that's why i don't want to spoil it
you know no spoilers but i mean you're you pulling out after the season after you watch the entire
season it's not i mean that's not gonna affect anybody here, Heath. It should. You already gave them their money.
Or your money.
It's disgusting.
That was disgusted, Brandon.
I lost my appetite when I finished.
Anyways.
The reason I thought of it is because this is exactly what's happening to the Mighty Ducks.
Yeah.
They're specifically ruining all of your childhood favorites he's i think and i think they're doing it because they're your favorites
it's a plot against teeth i have never felt more seen and heard than i am right now brandon because
i really have been feeling that too who's behind it the birds oh i Oh, I thought you were going to say the Democrats.
It's like, Brandon, we don't get political on this podcast.
Don't go there, man.
No, it's the birds.
It's the birds. Oh, dude, listen.
If it flies, it spies.
And we know this.
But honestly, listen.
Mighty Ducks, Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, Game of Thrones
They have fucked it all up
Every single one
Hate them all
Have you been watching House of the Dragon? I enjoyed House of the Dragon
It's
It's fine
The time hopping is pissing me off to no end
Like it's just
It's jarring and confusing at first
But you get used to it
And it's just It's because they and confusing at first But you get used to it And it's just
It's because they have to cover fucking 40 years
In a season
Either specify it or
That's true
They need to
A simple title that says like 10 years later
Would be amazing
Dude I could do that
40 years in the future
You should go in
You should go in You should go in. You should go in.
You should go in, record every episode, put a title in, and then release them on YouTube as the Heathcut.
Yeah.
Oh, listen, that'd go viral on fucking TikTok just for people to watch so they know how much time has passed.
Also, the consistency in which they age the characters
could not be more infuriated that's true there's a couple of the the male characters they don't
they don't swap at all like like uh kristen cole he's the same guy for like 40 years and it's like
this dude can't be this good looking still yeah exactly at least some lines or something like
shitty haircuts don't make you age the hygiene's you're you know the
the sanitation system they have in king's landing there's no way this guy looks that good oh my god
yeah like come on there's no fucking such thing as a skincare routine unless like there's some
secret dragon dung you know skincare that we don't know about brandon you know that's exactly what it
is they're just rubbing dragon poop on their face oh my god anyway so you know tangent aside god damn it why is everything not just are my
standards too high brandon have i become you're just you're not you're not the we talked about
this last episode you're not the target market anymore you know on any of this stuff and none
of it no none of it especially especially game changers you're definitely not the target market anymore. On any of this stuff? None of it. No, none of it.
Especially game changers.
You're definitely not the target market. Well, I know that.
But at least they try to give subtle wink adult jokes, but they don't land or they're inappropriate.
Oh, game changers are –
Yeah.
The adult jokes they make in here are wildly inappropriate.
Yeah. like weird.
And so like it's just, once again, the charm is just getting like, I feel like, you know, like one of those, like the pads that you use, that people use to fucking gnaw the calluses off their feet.
I feel like that's what's happening to the Minnesota Miracle Magic in this show.
It's just being, being you know buffeted off
by you know this fucking yeah the the writing they're they're the characters in this show
are not written well enough for any of these actors charm to show through like these kids
these kids a minute we've mentioned it before
these kids these kid actors are crushing it they're doing the best they can with absolute
garbage lines yeah listen these kids are me and excel we are just we are fighting for our
fucking lives brandon like through that like we are just doing everything we can to you know get
that pivot table to fucking work yeah and there i think we mentioned it before like kube i think
is doing an amazing job acting this year uh blossoming yeah maya's doing well yeah maya's
maya maya has a little bit a little bit of her charm shows through um but then they just give
her just the most inappropriate and ridiculous lines yeah and then i did i did think it was funny when they did like
like she's like yeah i heard my dad yelling in the garage they're in the shed about the sports
gambling that's funny um that was that was the only funny line there's there's three or four
real good lines in each episode but then there's 15 like incredibly bad lines yeah yeah
don't thank god for marnie too anyway should we dig in yes yeah so let's get let's get going with
episode three here it's the coach's classic keith coach classic man nothing as coach cole says yeah
i say as coach cole says it's kid's favorite night of the year.
Yeah.
Some really big kid's favorite night of the year.
But Brandon, in the end, we both know steel sharpens steel, which is his take on iron sharpens iron.
So that's fun.
But yeah, so this is's and it's a video the video of the coaches just murdering these
youths into the board was just they made it they made that video they built it up like so
ridiculously violent and then he what's his line where he says when he's telling everybody to look
for their golden jersey he's like it's like Christmas morning. If you come from a very,
very violent family.
Yes.
But then sport spoiler alert,
you cut to later in the episode when they're actually playing the game,
there's one hit the entire time.
Yeah.
And it was,
it was a coach on a coach.
Yeah.
It was,
it was pretty light hitting in the end,
but.
And they,
they keep,
they,
they,
for this,
for the coaches,
classic video,
there was another video.
There's a couple of videos they played throughout episodes one and two.
Like this camp has a lot of promo videos for some reason.
But they constantly are using like bootleg generic Imagine Dragon ripoff songs as like the soundtrack.
Do you not notice that?
It's just driving me crazy.
It was just the most ridiculous it was like it was like if you if you pulled uh like if you pulled some somebody off the street and we're like can
you make write what you think an imagine dragon song would sound like and then that's what that's
what comes out nice i love that but i'm the more importantly brandon any proper hockey institute
has a videographer on retainer so i don't i don't know why it makes it makes sense
because he's if we're paying rich eisen in spoiler alert you know and later in the episode
so i have a i have a huge problem with that i have a huge problem with rich eyes and we can
talk about rich eisen when we get there but i got a huge problem with rich eisen coming in here
and taking jobs from the little man our our friend of the program, Terry.
I was going to say Terry.
MJ is not necessarily – I mean we love MJ, but she's not a friend of the program.
Oh, she's not a friend.
Well, she did comment on a couple of our posts.
That's true.
That's nice.
The actor Leah Franklin is a big supporter on the Instagram, and we appreciate that.
Leah, thank you.
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
Shout out Leah. But Terry slash Mark what I'm saying. Shout out.
But Terry,
Terry slash Mark Chavez,
he,
uh,
friend of the program.
Friend of the program.
He came on the podcast.
Uh,
everybody should go listen to that episode,
by the way.
It's a recap of season one with,
with Terry,
but yeah,
Terry and MJ would have been fucking perfect for this because it,
Rich Eisen even mentions it had to constantly explain why the fuck he was at the
camp and then he goes where is this even broadcast to you you know what rich that's a great question
talking to that's a great question no one yeah because it's not on the fucking wraparound
podcast number two youth hockey podcast in northeast minnesota no yeah this would have
been perfect for mj and fucking terry that was i was
so furious about that listen brandon this is the perfect encapsulation of disney right like they
are going to keep the little man down they have become the corporate machine they're going to
rich eyes and sellouts rich eyes and sellouts and keep the little man down.
RIP MJ and Terry.
Yeah.
Gone too soon.
So anyways, but during this video, Brandon, we get flashes of Jace looking like the star player that he once was before his shot got broken my yeah yeah we see we
see uh old school jace and i love how sophie's the only person who recognizes him everybody else is
like who's that kid who's a really good kid and sophie's like oh my gosh my twin flame doth be
here and so we cut the start of the triangle, baby.
Oh, this is, I wrote that too.
I said, I smell a love triangle in the air.
And we get, we cut to Jace and he is in full teenage angst,
sitting against the wall,
feeling misunderstood by his overbearing father,
bouncing a racquetball, you know,
just wanting to feel misunderstood because Sophie comes in and she tries to
connect with him.
She's like,
listen,
man,
I think I know what you're going through.
It's like,
no.
Yeah.
He shuts it down.
You don't got it.
You're here to be awesome.
What do you,
what do you want to hear about how I had a mental breakdown?
What do you want to hear about how I got a glitch in my shot and I let my whole family down?
It's like, you know who would love to hear that, Jace?
It's a goddamn therapist.
You know?
They would love to hear that.
And your dad can definitely afford one as well.
Yeah.
That's the thing.
Why does he not have one as part of the
fucking like isn't this what the mental the mind the mind guy is supposed to be okay listen that
is if the mind gym guy is doing his fucking job we shouldn't have a glitch in a shot right yeah
this is just the yips like remember when adam vinatieri had the yips and then all of a sudden
he like got a therapist and then went to the Patriots and then boom.
Fucking awesome.
Yeah.
You know how you solve the yips?
Is you talk it out.
You talk it out.
Yeah.
Toby's his name, right?
The mind gymnasium guy, Toby?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Toby is dropping the goddamn ball here.
Well, Toby also acts like he shouldn't be allowed within a thousand feet of a
middle school too right yeah he's got some he's got some weird vibes going on i i wrote um in in
i wrote dommer vibes dude definitely um has some bodies every every honestly every single one of
these coaches is except for jackie jackie's perfect and flawless. Well, and they gave Jackie.
But they gave, we'll go to it in the next.
We're jumping ahead of ourselves.
So let's jump in.
So Sophie is like, maybe I can help.
And he's like, no, you can't.
And so Sophie's like, okay, go fuck yourself, buddy.
Walks away.
Yeah, he does. Cool.
Yeah.
He does – he crosses the line between lovable sad guy and like annoying depressed guy.
Like that's a very fine line to tread and he – when you refuse to accept any help and you start yelling at people, you cross that line.
Yeah, yeah.
And his like sad face is the worst.
He's too, he's too pretty to be sad. You know,
you are a handsome young man. Like, why are you so upset? Like, you know,
like obviously you're very athletic. I mean, it, no offense,
but the last shot you took looked like you never held a hockey stick in your
life before. So I don't know a hockey stick in your life before so i
don't know what went well in your shot before because at this point doesn't look like you ever
played in the video the promo video he scores a pretty sick goal yeah he does a little turnaround
so i don't know how he went from that to the whatever glitch he's got now his dad must have
really fucked him up like yeah like do you think do
you think he was like having him run two a days before and after school um probably probably yeah
like since since he was six this is like straight up literally yeah this is literally a decade
of two a days for this kid and it just broke him finally oh yeah his i mean
his uh because what they're like 14 13 here something like that right yeah so yeah i guarantee
you as far back as he can remember he's got he's got some daddy issues going yeah he's been running
drills on the ice since he could hold a stick i'm sure but that's coming just wait for that line
it's coming
they've pulled out all the other old tried and trues for this that reminds me i trope like side
tangent here that reminds me i was watching i saw a commercial for the nhl i think it was on espn
the other day and it was uh two of the the tampa bay lightning players steven stamkos is standing
next to victor and his kid and he goes uh i forget exactly how he starts, but he's like, how come your kid's not out on the ice there?
He's like, well, he's six months old.
And then the other guy's like, oh, maybe hockey's just not his thing.
That's good stuff.
That's a good ad.
I hope it's a good hockey season season but my hockey fandom starts once the playoffs
start i'm one of those guys sorry sorry nhl uh but i am you know um you know we are espn plus
so you can watch all the games that's what i do well is that's a part of the disney plus hulu
package bundle so exactly so you got no win win yeah you can watch it on hulu yeah they just even though we just we just spent uh like 20 minutes shit talking disney but
subscribe to their services guys that's that's the problem right that's why it makes you hate
them even more that's how they get you yeah it makes you hate them even more is because they've
got a monopoly and because they've got a monopoly on this they're just passing out a whole bunch of you know turd sandwiches and expecting you to eat it
like it's a delicious philly cheesesteak or a you know a delicious turkey club maybe a little
guacamole on that from goldberg delicatessen yeah anyway all right so sophie and jace the love triangle begins but then we get our girl marnie
with a little mail call you know her and i bet her and steve from blues clues would have gotten
along really well mail call marnie is the highlight of this show she's best part her and nick because
nick's still crushing it nick's great oh of course yeah. We heard Nick. And we get mail. We get some Marnie and Nick time in this episode, which is great.
We need more of that.
Yeah.
More Marnie, less everything else.
And we get some wonderful shipments of candy coming in hot, Brandon.
So delicious, Sam doesn't even unwrap his Starburst.
So I had questions about this okay so i
never did you ever go to like overnight like summer camps no neither did i never did overnight
summer camps i did like summer i guess you'd call it like summer like not really daycare because it
was like i don't know i did like a couple basketball camps right like but not like
a summer it was like two days three days see i did like summer i never did overnights but there
was a couple summers where like i would it was like a i guess it was like a school thing i don't
know i we would go to uh a camp like thing but you just go during the day and then your parents
come at the end of the day and pick you up so it wasn't like overnight and yeah that's it it's wayne america style as well
or you just go to the babysitters and then they you you know eventually we just rode our bikes
all over town and babysat ourselves i see the one summer the one i went to for a few summers was
like a big thing you know there was like 50 kids um yeah and you'd take. And you'd take like a – you'd take like one day a week.
You'd take a field trip to the water park or to the baseball fields or whatever.
So I never did the overnight thing.
So like when everybody got sent candy, I was like what is – I completely understand that like for heavyweights.
If you're going to fat camp, like your family might sneak you some candy here or you might sneak your own candy.
And I would completely get it at another – like a regular summer camp.
But this is not a camp.
This is the elite performance ice center, Heath.
Why is every parent sending them a bucket of candy?
It made sense for the ducks to get the candy but like all the other
kids i would argue it only made sense for nick really i mean i don't know it maybe sophie's
made sense but like all the other kids so sophie's the only one that didn't get candy
she got particularly if it's not allowed right like particularly if it's not allowed like i'm
sure there was like when you sign up for the camp, it was like, hey, because that's just what you do, right?
This is what to pack.
This is what not to pack.
And so they're not going to.
This shit's not cheap.
If I'm paying the money to send you, send my kid to the Elite Performance Ice Center, I'm not going to send you a bucket of candy, too.
Yeah.
Like, they're supposed to be feeding you food.
Yeah.
That's part of the money
i paid yeah like i'm not giving you more like my to be fair mama d would have packed some granola
bars and oh yeah yeah i would like that's that's i would send i would send some food but i'm not
i would send granola bars i would send maybe a pop tart or two yeah pop tarts fruit snacks mamma d always get had
fruit snacks right i'm not sending everybody i'm not sending everybody fucking 10 candy bars though
no i mean no weird to me most granola bars are like not far from a candy bar but exactly it like
the concept is it looks very different it's about it's about it's about your brand, Heath. Okay. Yeah.
It looks much better.
You don't want to be the candy kid.
Okay.
Yeah, exactly.
Like, number one, have these parents never watched the G.I.
Joe's cartoon from the early, late 80s, early 90s?
Nobody's watched that, Heath.
They literally at the more they had the more, you know, moments at the end of every episode.
And one of them, the two kids were like, oh, what should I get before the big game?
And one went for an apple, crushed it.
Guess what?
The second kid got candy bar like a fucking loser idiot.
And guess what?
He did not do.
Didn't get a hit.
Unbelievable. Unbelievable.
Unbelievable.
These fucking,
these parents are instigating this poor behavior when,
and,
and they're setting the precedence to these kids that even though this
camp has rules,
they are above those rules.
And I can't get behind that.
This is shit.
Parenting.
Brandon is a bunch of Alex Morales running around. Yeah. Like who the fuck are these parents? rules they are above those rules and i can't get behind that this is shit parenting brandon's a
bunch of alex morrow's running around yeah like who the fuck are these parents breaking rules for
their kids sending on this candy i did like marnie though marnie marnie came in clutch with if i don't
you know out out of sight out of mind yeah listen it's same like i am not gonna be the person that
is the target of all those children's parents.
I are when the kids text their parents back and like, yo, motherfucker took all my candy.
$800 of candy.
You just sent me gone.
Yeah.
Dude, if I was Nick's mom, if I was Nick, though, we'll get to it.
No spoilers.
But oh, my God.
Nick's package is fucking legit, though.
What does he say? The four major candy groups
Caramels, hard candies
Chocolates, and chews
There you go, amazing
Wow
I loved how it was like divided
I did too, I was gonna say that
It looked like the popcorn tins
It looked like the popcorn tins
But with candy and like Nick's mom's
Once again Wow, my god tins it looked like popcorn tins but with candy and like nick's mom's once a fucking bastard best
wow my god they they did they're they're they're not even gonna they're not even gonna show their
faces in this season i i assume but they're gonna win best parent at the gold kiggies just for this
alone just for sending the separated candy granted we just yelled at everyone's parents but like nick but it makes not that type of kid
yes okay thank you yeah exactly like nick is not that type of kid the rest of these kids
like you're getting them ready for college for you know like these are they're going to play at
the next level that's the hope like you said the beans and candy you can make it in your in my mind
i can rationalize it for all of the ducks
right yeah i can rationalize it that way because i mean they're they're not the typical they're
not your typical they weren't even supposed to be here right you know yeah yeah so i can get that
i still think it it makes the most sense for nick um he's he's really the only one that it makes
absolute perfect sense for because that's just you know that's his vibe this is he's a yeah he's really the only one that it makes absolute perfect sense for.
Because that's just – that's his vibe.
He's a former fat kid.
They're still writing him as if he is fat even though the actor lost a bunch of weight.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So it's tough.
I also enjoyed that they threw in the article about the school board treasurer stepping in.
That's true.
Not only did they
send him the separate day candy they sent him fuzzy slippers for cold nights and then uh it
was uh what was it val val lundgren superintendent for the the local school board she's retiring
yeah don't make him like her anymore yeah
oh that was that was the one good there's there's one good line and so then we get
coo been sam debating and so they're gonna throw down a candy bar bet on the coach's classic on
the coach's classic and then maya jumps in with my little favorite part here where she was like hey
well before that the uh the discriminate against redheads pretty hard.
Oh, I didn't hear that.
Maybe it just didn't register.
They didn't really discriminate against redheads.
But the one redheaded kid in the entire camp, of course, he's a degenerate gambler.
Yeah.
Well, they got – Maya got him too with those odds.
And then we realized –
You like nougat new don't you oh
my goodness i love it and and then we realize that maya is an odds maker brandon like she is out here
ready to no no no no no no no no she i i have a huge problem to pick with that for that statement
you just made there because she's not she she she's not a good odds maker because that they they do the exact opposite of what uh like bookies and sports books do
later on in this episode when everybody starts betting on the kids yeah they keep they gotta
start putting the key well they keep increasing the odds which is the opposite of what you do
when more people bet on something you decrease the odds they're just they were made a rookie mistake
yeah well that's that was like the point of the episode right but like she obviously it's not a
good point he's okay well okay so brandon you we're getting to the root issue of this though
maya learned gambling from her dad she found out her dad her dad was gambling because he was
yelling in the shed if so facto, facto, Maya's dad is
a bad gambler.
I don't know if he's a bad gambler.
I think he's for sure hiding his gambling
from his wife. That's why he's in the shed.
Well, and it's not going well
if he's teaching his daughter
to continue to drive the line
if it's...
Is he teaching her? Or was she just eavesdropping?
That was never made clear.
She said... What did she say? I don't think she – is he teaching her or was she just eavesdropping? That was never made clear. No, she said –
What did she say?
Brandon, I hate this show.
I'm not taking that good of notes.
I'm just –
You said –
Generalities.
You said – that's what she said and then you pointed to your camera as if you –
Now I got to look for it.
You made it seem as if you had the line No she
Motherfucker
She said
My dad taught me
Sports betting
My dad taught me
I thought she said she just learned
And so I figured she was just like eavesdropping
You learned it from her dad
That's not
Oh my god that's so weird She's got too many dates to go on She can't be you know learning stuff from her dad. That's not. My eavesdropping. Oh my God. That's so weird.
She's got too many dates to go on.
She can't be, you know, learning stuff from her dad.
That's not how this works.
Anyways.
All right.
So.
We.
We get all the good candy stuff and then we wake up.
No Jersey for Evan on the door but you get know who does have
one brandon oh i guess we yeah yeah i said we didn't really we didn't explain that at all
the coach oh yeah sorry the coach is classic they're picking 10 kids to play against the
coaches and randomly randomly and the way you know you got picked is the next morning like if you were
uh in a very violent family and it was christmas
morning there's gonna be a gold jersey hanging on your door and evan's gold evan is evan wants
nothing more to be in this game he's fucking all about it uh but yeah no jersey for evan but jace
mr uh glitch shot mr yips mr maybe we should think about therapy um he gets picked and then it doesn't
show it doesn't show anybody else i don't know no again no one else got one uh well they just
don't show who they are there's just like there's so many missed opportunities for like character
development they can they consistently like brush aside any chance at character development for just one liners
they they also did like they showed the hallway and there was like no other gold jerseys on any
doors yeah i assume there's more than one hallway though oh okay well because well then there's a
hallway full of losers brandon because i mean that's where all that's where all the ducks were
okay that makes sense then
but my favorite is he storms into his dad's
office he's like oh geez you got
picked did you see
did you see
I loved they have
poor fucking Josh Duhamel
they have this guy
every time he's like in his office he's doing
something fucking stupid like the
the last episode he was like doing that magnet, but it was on a soccer field.
What the fuck was that about?
In this episode, he's sitting with his back turned to the door when Jace comes barging in, and he has a notebook opened.
Did you see what the cover of the notebook said?
No.
It said, Ice Hockey Coaching Notebook.
And it had a little puck and stick on it is nice coaching for dummies yeah gotta do the mental gym too gotta
hit that mental gym it was just i just i don't know why that cracked me up because it's just
such a generic like fucking stupid thing for to have him hold this ice hockey coaching notebook yeah uh and
then we just get the typical back it's like if you walked into like a judge or a lawyer's office
and they were just reading a book that said law on it coach k a book that just says basketball
it's like 50 pages long good strategy the man-to-man defense. Why didn't I think of that?
That fucking magnet game on the soccer field was unbelievable, though.
Unbelievable.
But then we get some back and forth in the office, and basically it's like, it's not for me.
It's for you, Dad.
It's always for you.
Yeah, I've written down, again, therapy.
Just for the love of God, talk to somebody.
Is this when Josh Duhamel tells him to put it in a box?
Just put everything in a box.
Yeah, I think that comes later, but that's a good line, too.
Yeah, Dad, let me just put it in a box and put everything in a box.
This is just,
I hate everything about this show.
It's unbelievable.
Again,
these actors are doing great work with just the worst material.
And then we go to spoiler shocker,
Evan crying to his mom again.
I really wanted to play in that game. And Alex is like, shocker, Evan crying to his mom again. I really wanted to play in that game.
And Alex is like, oh, geez, that's so sad.
And then the coach's son throws him the jersey.
And Evan's like, oh, hell yeah, the fates have aligned.
And Alex gives the, oh, you're my baby, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
She fucking flip-flops at the drop of a hat.
She just, that stupid thing where she's like lying. baby blah blah blah blah she fucking flip-flops like the drop of a at the drop of a hat she went
she just uh that's she that stupid where she's like lying and she's like oh what a fucking bummer
i'm so sad for you and it's like that's the that's terrible parenting that's benefiting
nobody here for you to to to you know fucking pander and uh just i don't know she's she's
worst parent in the world she's winning worst parent ever i'm gonna
we're making a new category for the golden kickies worst parent ever and she's winning every time
yeah okay she did she did have a she did i will say another good line that they had in this
that cracked me up um because she goes so a little backstory for people that aren't familiar with so
in in hockey they have like the injury list you gotta list when people are injured but they they
never because you don't they don't want the other team to know what exactly is injured so the the
way nhl injury reports work is they list it as one of two things it's either a lower body injury or
an upper body injury and that's all the information they give and so alex makes a great joke where she goes you can't
play nhl players you can't play the coaches they get hurt constantly their upper body their lower
body there's no other parts of the body so i thought that i thought that was a great line. That made me laugh a little bit. Yeah, she's got one.
But then, yeah, then we flash back over to the candy hustle,
and there is a line out the door, Brandon,
for them to take some candy bets.
And not only are they taking candy,
but they are taking some delicious smelling
watermelon body wash for coop coop's all about it he loves the watermelon yep yep and so we're
getting and this is where maya is not doing well with her lines and she's going the wrong way
maybe misunderstood her dad when she coop i i don't know what system they're what system they're using to keep track
but she's writing like she's giving them sticky notes the in return for their candy the kids and
then it says like it's like k i just think she were like k and then a number and then handed it
to them um but then nobody is like keeping track i have no idea what coop is writing on the white
board he's just making tally marks.
I don't know what the fuck that's doing.
How many bets are in each one?
And it's not helping because they're not.
It's not,
it's not organized at all.
There's no way,
there's no way they have any idea of who bet what and how much to give back
to anybody.
It's a,
it's a fucking mess.
Needless to say,
we know how this is ending in disaster oh yeah of course so post candy hustle
we're jumping back and forth really quick then we get evan and jace running into each other
and evan has uh taped his name over the back of the jersey over his name yeah yeah
and then they i love how he's like he's walking through and Nicole's name, yeah. Yeah.
And then they run into us. I love how he's walking through and he's like, yeah, yeah, I'm on the coach's classic team.
Yeah, I heard that too.
I was like, God, Evan, you kind of suck.
But anyways, Jace is like, hey, man, I got to get my jersey back.
Your mom talked to my dad.
And Evan's like, oh, shocker.
My smother went and talked to the coach.
We didn't talk.
We didn't mention their talk.
Because she goes and talks to Coach Cole.
And they are arguing over wanting the same thing.
So, yes.
They're arguing over.
They're shocked that they actually agree on something.
They're like, is this the first time that's happened?
And it's like, you guys have known each other for four weeks three weeks why are you that shocked it's not like it's not like
you've known each other for years and you've been disagreeing on everything it's like you know this
is a brand new person in your life um but i did love so at the very beginning of the episode
um coach cole mentions that he's seen a lot of progress over
the last few weeks so we've been at camp or the institute for a few weeks now a few weeks
coach cole goes you know what how about we just set up a weekly meeting with barney where you
can just come and unload all your complaints at once which is honestly a fantastic idea but i want
heath i want you to put yourself into josh
dumel's shoes right now coach cole okay you're coach cole you're running the elite performance
ice center somebody that you hired has been here for three or four weeks it's been a few weeks
they've been here for three or four weeks and they are constantly disagreeing with everything
that's going on not just you, but publicly undermining you.
Publicly undermining.
You know how mind-numbing and unbearable that would be?
Oh.
To have Alex Morrow every fucking day,
at least four times a day, I would imagine,
coming to you and being like,
this is wrong, this is too intense.
It's a miracle that he hasn't fired her or punched her you know it she should definitely be fired
that's for sure and i apologize i jumped way ahead um on my notes on accident i think i hit
the scroll so i mean that was really but that was the only scene we skipped i think i'm pretty sure yeah yeah that's okay because everything um everything just really
sucks yeah i don't know but like just anyways just no no i wrote that down for four like three
or four weeks non-stop straight just constant complaining i know i parable i wrote that down too of like okay
i know that we're trying to paint like i see it's easy to see what we're doing here right
the overbearing father is crushing his son due to him trying to live out his own lost dreams through his son.
Right.
Like you can see that happening,
but the way they're having Alex go about it does not portray that she is
right.
She's doing this.
The she's going about this in the most immature,
unprofessional way that you can't like,
this isn't an okay way to approach things and like this is
once again it's just it is a direct reflection on how like people's mind like are completely
out of touch with their self-awareness like yes people do no longer have self-awareness
it becomes she goes for she she crosses that line where she's like the fun naysayer, the counterculture movement or whatever.
It goes from that to just ruining it for everybody else.
Like you can –
This isn't a camp where kids want to just – like they are intentionally going there to work their asses off it you signed
up you are wrong yeah like you signed up she she is just like we agreed we agreed to no candy
you agreed to the fucking schedule you signed up you paid for it get the fuck out like quit
like these kids you are ruining the experience these these kids went there to do exactly what they're doing
and by her trying to create this like bubble gum campy turn it into the camp that these
she thinks it should be she's going against the larger portion of the camp like she is in the one percent you should not change the entire camp's
structure because of one person's feelings but like once again how much has that happened in
our world right um it's just it it kept pissing me off more and more like the i was like i know
he's the bad guy but i don't feel like he's the bad guy because it feels like Alex is the bad guy.
Because if you have to manage Alex, you are going to hate her.
She's the worst type of employee to have on your team.
Exactly.
It goes from like the, she crosses again, just like the lovable, sad guy to annoying, depressed guy.
There's a fine line. There's a very, very fine line between team jokester, team prankster, or team naysayer, I guess is what I'll call it, to a nuisance, to just being an asshole.
A distraction.
It's a very fine line you've got to tread.
And she just blew up the line you know yeah
so yeah and she's just she's ruined it's like if you don't just leave just leave then
it just yeah i you you got me with that too that was just bothering me the whole time too
of like okay i understand what they're trying to do and the point they're trying to get across here
But they're not doing it
In a way that makes sense
They're doing it in a way
That makes everyone
Like Alex look like a spoiled
Know-it-all brat
Who wants her way
And everyone else has to
Bow to it
Like I mentioned in the last episode
When she refers to herself as a nice person.
It's like no.
Every single thing that comes out of her mouth.
Is judgmental and belittling to somebody.
And it's like she sees her.
I think I texted you this.
Where she's like Ted Modesby.
Where it's like she.
Which is another character I hate.
But it's like one of those things. Where where they see themselves as so much of the hero that in their mind, everything they do is right.
And it's like you're not the main character of the story.
And you're not the good guy in the story.
She kind of is the main character of this show.
But if this was life, you're not the main character.
It is not about you.
Well, there's a lot of people that need to listen to this.
Yeah.
One of my favorite things is when people talk about like the Mandela effect or – which is the most nonsense.
That's the most – whenever somebody brings up the Mandela effect, I know they're a narcissist because it's like why – of course in your mind, the whole world is conspiring to change one little thing about your childhood versus you just not remembering it correctly, you fucking idiot.
But then the other thing I love is whenever people talk about simulations too, like if the world's a simulation and it's like
okay this guy the automatic narcissist here because honestly if this was a simulation you're
not the main character either you're an npc you're a non-playable character you are the simulation if
that's what's going on because nobody in there like they wouldn't put on a simulation for you
yeah so you can work your fucking nine to five job that's not what the
simulation would be that the sooner that people realize that no one gives a shit about them the
easier it is to like oh dude it's the in the real world yeah my like it's it's a switch you need to
flip in your mind and it will i guarantee it'll make your life so much
so much better when you realize nobody nobody even knows you exist outside of your outside of
your little circle you know when you spend your whole life with like your parents and every and
like social media it feels like yeah social media is the real yeah social media has really crushed that and made
everybody think that they're the center of uh attention yeah main main character energy is not
a thing no one cares about you no one cares about me like i know that very well yeah exactly i there
there's there's how many listeners to this podcast do we have, Heath? Like five?
500.
But like I know – I'm with you.
I know nobody is listening to this fucking podcast.
I don't care.
I'm still doing it.
I need a hobby.
Yeah.
I'm doing this for me, not for you fucks.
And this is why I'm turning into the bad guy talking about the stupid fucking show i've already talked about it for 40 minutes too long but so we could breeze through the rest of
this so the the closest classic goes off right uh yeah well hold on first first we get the kids
breaking the number one rule of drug oh that's right that's right. That's right. That's right. Never get high on your own supply.
Scarface knows it.
Notorious B.I.G. wrote a fucking song about it.
We just, and the kids.
I forgot they, they just.
And there was so much candy to eat in one sitting.
So, there's no way they're not throwing up.
That's, they're definitely throwing up.
But like, that is, that is, those kids sitting there with full bellies with scar face with his face
in the mountain of cocaine that's all i could think of it's like man don't get high on your
own supply and this is right after that is where he says um put your glitch in a box forget about
it move on you just you have to move on um i know that game still messes with you but you have
to let it go i have to play your way through it which i mean it's like you have to play your way
through it but like he's he's halfway there he's halfway there a yes you do need to move on you
have to keep playing you do need to let it go and keep playing will for sure help, but you also need to talk about it.
Don't put it in a fucking box.
Do that.
Let's let's,
let's,
let's,
you know,
let's get our exacto knives.
Let's open that box up and let's say,
Hey,
root root issue.
Why did we glitch our shot?
Why does it suddenly look like we've never held a hockey stick before?

I have a couple – like we talked about how just terrible the writing is.
I wrote down a couple of lines that were just mind numbingly stupid there's one it's when they're talking about
the i think it's right after oh yeah it's right after they eat all the candy and they're trying
to maya's trying to rationalize it like there's oh there's no way we're gonna lose this bet
and she goes she mentions like it would be like the usa team beating the soviets in the olympics
and kub goes yeah that for sure happened and then her
response is this garbage line she goes well okay but another example where that didn't happen
and it's like no think of an exam like you're the writer think of a fucking example of when
that didn't happen you don't just get to write what you should have written I think it was supposed to be clever
Like they're thinking
Like it was supposed to be clever
But my beef was more
Maya
Maya
Is not making a
US Soviet
Fucking 80s hockey reference
This is the person
That took down Alex in season 1 For her puffy vest Like she is the person that took down alex in season one for her puffy vest like
she has not making that reference that was the beef that i had with it it's like okay there's
a million there's a million million references that she could have made a million yeah and they
went with one they went dated particularly for this group of youths.
Yeah, dated for this group of youths.
And then they half-assed and didn't give another one.
And then there's a line that Jace says to Coach Cole.
I think it's right after the whole box thing.
And he's like, oh, you're putting on a real parenting clinic here, Dad.
What 12-year-old is going to fucking say that?
And then the other line that infuriated me was it's after the game and they're getting – they're in the room and all the kids are banging on the door to get their candy.
And Coob goes, let's go to Costa Rica.
I have a cousin who lives there
supposedly their infrastructure is really great and it's like a that's a fucking cheap shot at
costa rica go fuck yourself and b that's a joke kube's not gonna make a reference kube's not gonna
like he's a 12 year old kid it's it's it's a it's a cheap shot and it's a dumb cheap shot you know like the writers wrote
this for themselves and not for an audience right i mean it is it's i mean it's uh i think the
narcissistic disney plus writing at its finest yeah moving along though so rip through it coach
is classic where coach With Rich Eisen.
Yeah.
Rich Eisen's there.
Nick tries to meet him.
Justice for Terry.
Hashtag justice for Terry.
Nick swallows his tongue pregame.
Can't talk to Rich Eisen.
You know who had a little crush on Rich Eisen is Marnie.
Marnie.
I hope that that happened.
I love how she uses Nick to go talk to Rich Eisen.
That was a good one.
Oh, look how handsome he is.
All right.
So coaches are just murdering the kids 12 to 4.
I wrote in my notes, I feel bad for whoever the goalie for the kids is.
Thank God it's not Coob.
But that poor kid is just out on an island, dude.
Yeah.
Getting absolutely shredded.
When Alex and Evan are talking in the stands, I hated everything about it.
This was the worst parenting I think I've ever seen in my entire life.
It's like watching a monkey on a tricycle.
I should have let you play in the game.
Like, what the fuck was that?
That line sent me over the moon because –
I don't understand what's happening in this show.
It speaks – A, it's a terrible ride.
B, it's also – like if I was Evan, I would be so fucking insulted that I'm 13 years old and my mom thinks that I'm a monkey riding a bike.
That like me just existing in the world is a miracle
you know and then i can't do anything else because like the the lack of faith that you
would have to have in your child as a human being to think of them at 13 years old as a monkey
riding a trike like that's how like them doing anything is like a monkey riding a trike. That's rough. Did you – like that says so much about her view of Evan that she just – she doesn't trust the kid.
She doesn't think he can do anything on his own, which is like unbelievable at 13 years old.
Well, and then she says, I was wrong.
I'm sorry.
And he was like, can I get that back?
And then I wrote, I hate this show.
So I was like – at that point I was like, okay, maybe –
That's a good reaction.
At that point I was like, okay, maybe we're making some progress with this storyline.
We're not going to keep doing it for fucking seven more episodes.
But then two seconds later when the coach – not even a kid.
When the coach gets hurt, she flips out.
She does a 180 and she basically
goes fuck you evan i was right this whole fucking time yeah and it's like oh my god what a terrible
terrible parent yeah before we continue talking about alex i did find a line in my note that is
absolute gold it was when marnie was introducing nick to rich and she says hey rich this is nick
he's also an up-and-comer in the audio arts yeah oh my god one one good piece of this of 30 minutes
so there you go there you go that scene with rich as it was pretty good because like nick is like
starstruck so he doesn't talk.
And Rich Eisen goes, saving your vocal cords.
I get it.
On vocal rest.
That was good stuff, man. I enjoyed it.
I like Rich Eisen.
Rich Eisen is great.
And I enjoyed his little cameo in this.
But the whole time I was thinking, just put MJ and Terry right here.
Come on.
But then Marnie also says, oh, he's going to have a big journal entry tonight.
More Marnie, less everything else.
Exactly.
So anyways, dude gets hurt.
Buzzer sounds.
Oh, so in the middle of the coach's classic coach cole switches teams he goes to the
kids team and he starts to help to help jace to try to help jace get his shot off doesn't work
um so then uh the coach's classic ends in a tie he brings the kids back it ends in a tie
after the other coach gets hurt yeah and then the kids are in a conundrum yes because it's a
no contest so bet all bets are off.
We got to give the candy back, but they ate all the candy.
Oh, those old so-and-sos. I'm about to be in Vegas next week,
and I'm definitely going to be riding a little sports gambling.
Once I'm fully back in Colorado.
You're going to jump on DraftKings?
Yeah, I think I am.
I'm real. That's a dangerous game my friend
i'm just i'm putting a limit on my spend i'm just gonna do a little fun nba betting a little i think
it's closed on the tuesday it's closed on tuesday at the mirage for some reason like what's what the
fuck is that mirage i don't know but yeah i i want i want to download one of the apps but i'm it's a
very slippery slope i don't know how.
It'll be interesting.
I mean, next time we record an episode, Heath, I might be out of money.
You might be just broke as a joke.
I'll let you know how I do because there's a full NBA slate this week, and so I'll definitely probably jump on some over-unders.
And I like fun prop bets.
That's probably what I would do.
First three, first three of the game.
And then like you parlay three of them, then you put five on it.
And then if you win, you get 1500 or, you know what I mean?
Like you do like the parlays and like, yeah, it's probably not going to work,
but you're not going to hit, like, it doesn't like, to me,
I would rather do something cool and fun like that, where you can,
if you're going into gambling, trying to win you're gonna ruin yourself yeah exactly like i'm not
i'm not planning on winning i just want to like watch and pay attention to the games in a way
that will be really fun if it pops right oh shit this is crazy yeah that's that's more what i was
what i would be leading to i'm not gonna i i very rarely
will i bet on like the outcome of a game but if you give me yeah like a weird like parlay bet where
like if you know somebody hits a three-round homer and then another person gets a hat trick and like
like weird shit like that i'm all about you know you put like you said like three bucks five bucks
on it yeah no harm no foul because like you know i'll be able to bet the thursday night football game
and i'll be able to bet some nba games and the um baseball should still be going on um apologies
to those i'm dating our recording but um if you haven't figured out by now we batch record these
things so yeah well get your shit together but anyways i'm i'm kind of excited for for that i've
never done it before brain and i've never sports gambled before so i'm i'm excited to just give it a shot and they've got
like really cool touch screens and stuff that you can do it at now and you can um when you when you
jump into the sports book so i'm i'm excited for for doing that but like i said the mirage is closed
on tuesday what the fuck is the deal with that that's when i fly in and that's
before the conference starts so i had a whole night to just do sports gambling just walk across
the street to the other to another casino here well i guess i could walk over to treasure island
see if that one's open that's i actually make sure you hit up the taco bell cantina get yourself a
boozy baja frozen blast wait where's that at it's towards the beginning of the strip i believe
um i but yeah they got they got booze there oh that's what kelly was saying like this
she was talking and they have vegan food there too yeah they have they have like a really a
huge expansion it's like a real menu yeah i'm excited for that you get the the dude the frozen baja blast with uh
oh i think that i think they put i think i think they put vodka in it i think that's what it is
oh come on blast frozen drink dude it's a it's fantastic that's like all i did when i was in
vegas i just kept going back and getting frozen Baja blasts. Oh, I got to figure out where that is now.
And we're going there for sure.
There's also this place called Nacho Daddy.
And I fucking love nachos.
And they've got vegan nachos for us.
So we're definitely going to go get after some of those.
So it's going to be exciting.
But the best part about it all, Brandon, was I'm going for a work conference.
And I'm staying in the Mirage.
And then I'm staying a couple extra days in a different hotel.
Accidentally booked the hotel next to the one.
I was like, oh, I wonder how far this Uber ride is from the Mirage to Treasure Island.
Five-minute walk.
I was like, oh, shit.
Yes, dude.
Happy accidents, man.
You got to lean into them when you're watching terrible shows so
anyways um let's get back to game changers here let's wrap this up really quick because there's
i've only got a couple more notes so so nick nick comes to the rescue and gives them all of his
candy so they can repay all the other kids yeah fucking bastards and then i hope they're happy
dude i hope they pay him back i I mean, Maya did say they,
I will say they didn't seem as grateful as they could have been.
They should have been kissing his feet.
They gave him a high five and then they turned around.
Maya did say his sacrifice will not go unnoticed though.
So I don't know what that means.
But so then.
And we see Evan looking really salty seeing Sophie and Jace chit-chatting.
So Sophie goes up to Jace at the end of the game, and she basically goes up to him and is basically just like, I'm just like you.
We're the same person.
And then they bond.
They have a little loving eye contact, which Evan sees, and Evan is – he's he's sweating yeah he is hot under the collar my
friend yeah because not only is his mom a terrible person he didn't get picked for this game now now
he's losing his girl his lady and his lady love is turning in like he wants her to like be on his
energy level and she's not.
She's just –
I think we mentioned it last episode.
There are two ships passing in the night.
Edwin went from not caring to now he's a diehard, and Sophie went the other way.
Yeah, and it's just –
Such is life.
Sometimes you grow apart.
Yeah, that's just how it is in life sometimes, Brandon.
Life's a bitch, and then you die die that's what my mom always told me but so then then cut to we have a camp uh we have a camp coach meeting i guess yeah because uh because eddie you know he needs some
rehab and we gotta find a replacement we need a replacement coach we're two days away from the
draft though so we don't we can't get we can't get exhausted with our search here.
Yeah.
And then that's when Alex pulls her fucking bullshit again.
And she goes, I fucking told you.
People undermining him in front of the entire fucking program.
Yeah.
And she's like, I told you this game was a bad idea.
And it's like, yeah, but you were afraid a kid got hurt.
A kid didn't get hurt.
I don't know.
She's using all of – she's using correlation as causation in her mind to make herself think she's right.
She's like, oh, the adult got her during the game.
So obviously it was a terrible game and we never should have done it.
And it's not exactly that's not how things work.
You know, you're you're connecting dots that aren't there.
Alex, justify your shitty behavior.
To be fair.
The game should have been played with an understanding that we are not going to full body check each other.
Nobody did.
Nobody full body checked anybody.
The only reason the guy got hurt was because Coach Cole ran into him because he was trying to get Jace a last shot.
And it was a freak.
I don't even think they were actually connected i think he
almost was gonna hit him and then eddie like jumped out of the way and in jumping he like
tweaked his knee or something like that it was a fluke it was a fluke accident it does not justify
that the game shouldn't have happened alex is just a bitch um and then and then we get all right i'm
sick of you telling me my camp well before that, she has the most infuriating lines that I've ever heard in my entire life.
She goes, I get that, guys.
I know hockey.
And it's like, oh, my God, no, you don't.
You don't know hockey at all.
You fucking half-assed and fluked your way into a state championship last year because of Bombay.
Not because of you.
You didn't do fucking shit.
And she took full – I'm a state champion coach.
Oh, my god.
First of all –
I hate Alex's character in this show.
I just want to point out they're not state champions.
They forfeited the championship game.
They won an underground fucking rematch that didn't count you just got the name you're not a state champion
uh i just have in all caps i just have
uh i wrote to end the episode i wrote coach a is back.
Coach is back.
I forgot about
what was the stupid shit on the t-shirt
from last season?
A t-shirt? What?
Don't you remember?
Nick's mom's made the t-shirt?
Yeah, make fun winning.
Fuck, what was it?
I don't know.
Fun fam.
I don't know.
It doesn't matter.
Yeah.
They make t-shirts and bugs and shit.
Yeah.
And then she's like,
when she's in,
she's like taking.
And once again,
she's taking all the credit for all of the work the kids are doing and she just again took all
the credit for all bombay and the kids work she literally got they literally kicked her off the
team yeah they she was not invited to states she was not allowed to attend the games due to team banishment and then she had the audacity in this episode to
say that she was the reason that they fucking won oh they i'm out that she did it the right way that
line fucking infuriated oh my god i am right way i am out on coach alex she is oh my god and yeah i
was i was annoyed with her in uh i mean i've always
been annoyed with her but this this episode i was like i'm fucking you're done you're dead to me
yeah if if evan turns out okay in this world it will be in spite of her as a parent not because
of her parenting you know who would be in spite of her you know who would be a better parent than Alex Morrow? Bombay. I was going to say Coach Riley.
But Bombay too.
Bombay would 100% be a better parent.
At least Coach Riley here would say it's not worth winning if you can't win big.
Exactly, dude.
God, I miss Coach Riley.
Yeah.
RIP.
But yeah, so that's where this ends.
She's the new coach
uh because coach cole is like i'm tired of hearing you fucking you know complain 24 7
do something about it um put up or shut up yeah stop stop talking about it start being about it
he's that's what that's what danny always says to me my roommate stop talking about it
oh dude i love danny putting you in your place like that good stuff shout out danny that's how
i ended up with a fucking dog because i kept talking i was like maybe i should get a dog
he was like stop fucking talking about it start being about it and then now look at what you've
got flat jack is a real piece of work is Is he still doing okay? Is his training taken?
Did it take?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I mean, he's still a stubborn son of a bitch.
So, like, he'll push the envelope as much as he can.
But, yeah, he listens.
Because he's too smart?
Yeah, he's way too fucking smart, dude.
Way too smart.
So, he, like, fucks with you on purpose.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
It's 100 percent just out of
like stubbornness and being like let's see let's see how far i can push this
um but yeah he's good he's good he's he's calming down a little bit in his uh in his old age at
least with me with me he's like he could be pretty chill and he'll sleep and stuff but if there's
like another person or another dog in the mix like when like when we're hanging out with upstairs with danny or
whatever then he's like it's still fucking 24 7 100 go you know oh he just wants to play fetch
the whole time yeah i used to put i mean that was jenkins once he hit like six seven he quit we used
to like when jenkins was like one two three four it was just i wouldn't
even pay attention i would just throw the toy over and over and over again grab it throw it
grab it throw it and then it just whittled now all he does is sleep at my feet there you go
you know yeah he's right anyways yeah um let's wrap this one up we talked we went a little too long
on this terrible yeah but so she's alex is the new coach she uh she's she needs to be about it now
and uh they're doing the draft next episode once they draft teams then tournament play begins
ethan it's coach versus coach hopefully we're gonna get some more of these these uh coach
personalities we got a little bit of toby a little bit of rufus a little bit of jackie
um i don't think we've met anybody else have we well the one lady i forget her name
oh coach don the one that was screaming at nick yeah yeah um so yeah hopefully we'll get a little
more insight into some of these coaches that'd be do we know how many episodes this is it 10 i assume it's 10 and 10 right okay
last season was 10 i'm assuming it's 10 again that and they cut them down from i see they're
they're only like 30 minute long episodes 30 35 they cut them in half um thank god thank god um
but yeah most most disney plus things are 10 episodes so i would
that's my guess is 10 episodes let's check uh let's see what i am and i will note when i pulled
up this show on imdb and like you know disney fucked up the highest rated and the most watched episode of season one, I'll give you one guess, Brandon.
One guess. Was it episode six?
Spirit of the Dex.
Why?
Because no one wants none of your new shit.
Everyone wants the callback to the classic.
Honestly, it's not that much higher rated than.
This has surprisingly high ratings on imdb every single episode from
season one is at least a seven oh that's disney plants i don't believe that one second that's
okay we got so icebreaker episode one got a seven out of bounds last episode was 6.5 this is
coach classic has a 6.6 But we have
10 episodes, Heath
We got
Next one is Draft Day
And then
The one after that is Icing on the Cake
And then the one after that
Episode 6 is Twigs
Oh shit, dude
Episode 7
Spirit of the D part two oh that's something to look
forward to thank god so i'm i'm so i'm gonna imagine
keenan i would imagine that's where we get keenan and then i imagine we're also going to get a couple actual Anaheim Ducks players.
Nice.
Do you think Keenan teaches – that would be awesome.
Do you think Keenan teaches Nick the knuckle puck?
That's my guess.
Keenan teaches Nick the knuckle puck?
Probably.
Probably.
You heard it here first.
All right.
But then we got – Any last words on episode three.
Episode eight is trade rumors.
Oh, shit.
That's when they get Evan back.
Yeah.
And then episode nine, summer breezers.
And then episode 10 lights out.
Hopefully that means they end this fucking show.
Mm hmm.
Actually, no, because I want I want Bombay in season three.
Give me just Bombay, though. i don't want anybody else yeah bombay in the old bombay in the old ducks and beer league
hockey dude that's our well that's that's one of our spinoffs with with uh with winnie is um
the beer league uh hockey because now we got fucking port we got fulton and portman it back in the twin cities dude yeah uh we know gee and connie are there yeah averman that's our that remember that was
that was our one of our pitch ideas was uh when he when he worked in the ice palace while the
beer league's going yeah then we all work in some hawks some old hawks players dude we you know like uh i dude working uh gunner stall
let's get gunner stall if he's working in minneapolis dude if if scott white comes on one
of the comes on one of these episodes i'll lose my mind i'll back it you got you got me i'm back
in if scott white's on all right spirit of the ducks part two any any final so the real
question is if they get scott white because gunner stall was iceland right but he was also in d3 as
scooter oh who is he at eden hall which is in minneapolis he's got to be he would be scooter
if he came back right he wouldn't be yeah yeah he wouldn't be gunner stall i forget what if you
brought both characters back and you do like a parent trap thing where you film them one side on the other, you know, like they did with Lindsay Lohan and the parent trap?
Listen, that is why I hated D3 too.
You can't make Gunnar Stahl the new guy.
He fucking crushed it as Scooter.
Scooter was great.
Scooter was great.
I know.
I know.
I know. But know. I know.
But that doesn't change.
He actually,
he was a goalie who could actually play goalie.
You know,
him and him and Julie,
the cat have a little,
little,
uh,
back and forth.
You know,
I know Brandon.
I've seen the movie before.
My God.
Okay.
When we get our,
our beer league spinoff,
we're bringing Scott White back as both gunner stall and scooter.
Done. All right. Any last thoughts on episode three? League spinoff. We're bringing Scott White back as both Gunnerstall and Scooter. Okay.
Done. Alright, any last thoughts on episode three? Let's wrap this shit up.
Yeah, let's get on with this.
Alright, we're done and done. Let's get this over with. Thanks for listening, everyone.
