The Cake Eaters - 58. Fixing Game Changers: Season 3 Pitches

Episode Date: May 23, 2023

Heath & Brandon have figured out how to fix the disaster that was Game Changers! On today's episode, the boys have come prepared with their pitches on how to fix the Game Changers series. Heath fleshes out his HBO Max mature-rated pitch for season 3 that draws inspiration and cross-overs from some of your most beloved shows, while Brandon has a Bombay-focused storyline pitch for Season 3 and 4 that would tie in the rest of the Mighty Ducks family as well. Then we get sidetracked and start talking about how great going to a movie theatre is and Brandon's love for old ladies. Disney, if you are listening, this is our official pitch for you to either hire us or give us the Mighty Ducks IP. P.S. Please don't steal our ideas.

It's not worth winning if you can't win! Welcome everybody to the Cake Eaters podcast. Your favorite body ducks podcast in history, in the world, dare I say Heath. Today we're going over our fixes for Game Changers. If you've been following along with us, Game Changers, cancelled. Season 2, trash. Season two. Trash. Season one. Serviceable.

But everything else about it sucks. It's over. Disney hated it. They're canceling it. Emilio. God knows what he's up to. But. Today we're on.

I have a legitimate. Season three. Slash season. I have an outline of season four. I have a full fledged pitch for season three and an outline for a season four on how to fix this and wrap it up. Right. A nice little bow on it.

Send Bombay off forever and ever, never, never to see from the mighty ducks ever again, wrap it up after season four. And then Keith has some bullshit speculation nonsense to to give to you here well first of all he did he did not take the homework assignment seriously first of all my i did and my bullshit speculation assignment would be one of the best hbo max shows to ever grace the screen in 2024. That's a fact.

But what I was going to say before you were so fucking rude to me for no goddamn reason was that much like a huge slice of Limburger cheese, Bombay could smell the stink on season two from a mile away. Brandon, he wanted nothing to do with it it but that's what we're here for he bailed it he bailed quick and honestly smart move emilio smart move we are here to add that stinky cheese into a dish that really brings out the flavor tones of it and we are going to create a masterpiece especially me i'm going to take that cheese and turn it into meth Brandon, it's going to be miraculous We're taking lemonade and we're turning it into lemons

Taking lemonade and Adding a little You want me to do mine first? Because it's the best You do yours first, hit us with your HBO Max pitch Alright For season 3 of Game Changers Alright, so let me set Because it's the best. You do yours first. Hit us with your HBO Max pitch. All right. For season three of Game Changers.

All right. So let me set the table here for you people. Imagine this with me for just one second, Brandon. Imagine Game Changers meets Breaking Bad meets Yellow Jackets. So we start out just like we did this season oh i'm alan go ahead i'll say i love how this whole thing just started from this whole idea just started from them using an rv as the vehicle to get to the epic and you that that's the sole inspiration for this this pitch here is just the fact that

they were in an rv and so alex comes in oh i'm the worst we can't afford this really sweet fucking hockey camp but i can't afford this rickety rv wait so when is when is your pitch starting is it the pitch is starting before they go to camp so like they're in minnesota you're completely rewriting season two you're getting yes okay yeah sorry i know it's not a fix but this is why yeah so you're again you didn't take the homework seriously because you're doing something completely different but go ahead this is what i wanted to do brandon i want a mighty you could you could do this a very easy fix would just be doing this out on their way their way back from season two

fine brandon on their way home from season two they realize oh no we have lost all of our funds we have no money you know like they can't get in contact with their parents nick's moms have gone awol rv's broken on the side of the road and the only way they can make money is you know nick's mom sent him a science set in the mail in one of his many packages and they begin cooking up the most delicious fentanyl-free meth that they have ever seen on the West side of the Mississippi. And they to first start fix the RV, but then as the RV gets up and running, they realize they can run a huge distribution network of the purest math in the entire country and how do you know it brandon because there's a little duck on every single bag and so they're they're fighting through they're going is it the actual mighty ducks logo or is it like a clip art duck

you know no no it's the mighty ducks logo the throwback logo okay purple and gold and green and so but then they hit the rockies and alex b and alex decides oh we're all about fun let's take this fun side trail through these rocky mountains and then boom their meth riddled rv crashes into the middle of the woods and got to watch out for cougars. Got to watch out for cougars. We discussed that in the last episode, but this is where we transition from breaking bad into yellow jackets. And it is a fight for survival, little cannibalism.

I don't know. Like we don't know how they survived brandon but what happens is as this is happening we don't really know because we are flashing forward and we see like adult evan adult sophie and they're sitting there and they're like they're you know like all of a sudden some ptsd shit comes back and evan's just wasted driving home from the bar and you know like there's just wasted driving home from the bar. And, you know, like there's just, Sophie and Nick are like doing an intervention. Evan, you got to come back. And he's like, you guys remember what we did.

We fucking ate Coob. Using Coob as bacon really fucked me up man and and so it's just like a flash back and forth of the trauma alex should actually be in prison is what like we realize based on like how she led them through and you know the barbecue of q of kube will live in infamy. Is that it? That's all you got? Yeah, that's it. It's like and then Bombay comes back

and they win the Adult Beer League Championship. Oh, and like the flash forwards? Okay, so they recover. They finally recover from the PTSD. They go to therapy, right? And then Bombay leads them to the Adult Beer League Minnesota State Championship. Okay.

I like it. It's solid. It's not where I would have gone, but you know, some people might be into it. A lot of people would be into it. Maybe sprinkle in some letter Kenny for the adult beer

league hockey scenes. You got to get some fucking show. Get Shorzy in there? Yeah, dude, for sure. You're just combining every show you can. Right? What you talking about when you first

brought this up a while ago, you know, about like a Jesse Pinkman cameo. Yeah. That's during the meth pieces. Yeah. Let's bring it. Bring them all in.

Yeah. Yeah. Get some sweet cameos. Like it'd be awesome. Christina Ricci, I think is in yellow jacket. So that'd be a sick. There you go.

I think what other, uh, what other shows you could bring out of the fold here? Get a... I don't know any other Minnesota ones. I like the Shorzy idea, the Letterkenny

idea. Bring in a Jesse Pinkman. That's solid. Okay. So there's your Game Changers HBO Max version. You're welcome, world. Are you you gonna do that all like season three all all all in one shot no no that'll we'll have to like season the first season back is the breaking bad season then we move into the yellow jacket season and then we move into the beer league season okay so you're going like three seasons

okay a three season arc okay okay yeah yeah you got to get some development you know and like there can be there can be like flashbacks you know you got to add some hockey flashbacks and flash forwards you know what you know like maybe maybe someone goes to prison at one point and like nick's doing prison or you know Sam's doing prison league hockey or Maya I was just trying to think of other characters you know what you need to you know what show you should roll in

as well it's lost get some lost people in here okay yeah it was all a dream the whole time the plane never crashed they saw a a polar bear out there you know right that's a lost thing right it's the polar bear i haven't seen i haven't seen law since like eighth grade i got into like the first couple seasons and then i kind of tailed off so i had a an eighth grade uh math teacher who was and i think that was like when the first season came out was

when i was in eighth grade and she was obsessed with that show like every the day after the episode of air like that's all she talked about during the class like we didn't do any math stuff it was just let's go over lost that's that's a real nice reflection on the american educational system as well yeah all right brandon well after i need to talk to he's okay so he's emmy award-winning show there's no way there's not a single chance in hell that would win an emmy breaking duck you That might win a Kids' Choice Award, but it's not winning an Emmy. Breaking ducks. Quacking no more. Terrible.

What's a terrible catchphrase? Terrible slogan. Yeah. All right. Let's get into your legitimate ones After I just stole the show Sorry, not to steal all of your thunder With that genius idea, Brandon

That is probably going to get me Famous in no time Somebody's probably going to steal it And not give you credit for it That's what I'm worried about with my season 3 pitch You got to trademark it really quick Copyright it Disney, if you're

listening this is copyrighted yeah yeah um okay so season three pitch so season two happens exactly like it happened right he's yeah no changes there season three um we're gonna we're gonna fast forward okay okay we'll do we're gonna fast forward because well how old did you say they are here like eighth grade seventh grade something like that right yeah like 13 14 something maybe so we're gonna fast forward till their juniors in high school okay fast forward till their. Most of them are juniors. A couple of the older kids will be seniors

we'll say for season three. Either way, they're probably getting saved by the bell, Brandon. We can add that into my crossover. We'll save by the bell. Keep going. We jump ahead to the junior year. We for we'll say evan evan's junior

year jump because evan is still our main character we're jumping ahead junior year okay okay love it in that time frame right they've they came back um they played another year we'll say they played another year. We'll say they played another year of, of, um, of Peewee hockey or whatever with, with Bombay at the ice palace, right. As the ducks. Okay. Yeah. In,

in the time between our fat, the end of ice, the end of season two and our, our junior year, right. Bombay. He's, he,

as evidence of season one, he's falling back in love with hockey, right? He's coaching again. Alex is coaching goes by the wayside. She's she, we're, we're shooing her away okay nice that's a good move she's she's gonna be dating bombay but she's not coaching anymore you know she's just there as evan's mom slash bombay's uh mom nice um lauren graham as a mom character with nothing to do with

the hockey and beat it yep can't miss. Okay. But so in the timeframe of the Jump Forward, Bombay, he's coached the Ducks another year or so, and then he gets approached by first cameo appearance, okay? He gets approached by the dean slash athletic director of Eden hall. Okay. The Eden hall ducks. Guess who?

Guess who? The athletic director slash Dean is coach T. No, no coach. Coach. He's not coach. He's not in coach Orion. No scooter. Remember scooter slash gunner stall.

Same Scott white played both of them. He played Gunner Stahl in D2. In D3, he plays Scooter, who's the goalie on the varsity team. So he's going to be... Scooter has grown up. He's our AD slash athletic director. I love that, actually. He convinces Bombay to come to Eden Hall to coach him.

He's like, we got your kids in here. Evan, Sophie, they're all Eden hall. Come coach these kids at Eden hall. Okay. We need, so we need some duck magic back here. Okay. So he convinces him there. We have Alex as the love story. She fades away. Right. She's just there for love interests. So Bombay is going to need an assistant coach, right? He's going to need somebody to help him out here. Cause he's old, right? She's just there for love interest. So Bombay is going to need an assistant coach, right? He's going to need somebody to help him out here because he's old, right? He needs a little help.

So who does he bring along as his assistant coach? Charlie. Fulton. We'll work Charlie and slowly because with season one, how he hated Bombay. We have to take that into account. Fultulton he's around he's he's been in season one and season two so he's yeah and he we know he's around and he's got he's a local he he lives there he's a local yeah um so yeah fulton is the assistant coach fulton he brings fulton along right and then as part of the little flashbacks

or whatever, or the flash forward, we're getting little scenes that are giving this backstory. And part of that is when he goes to Eden Hall, he transitions management of the Ice Palace over to Winnie.

So Winnie is fully running the Ice Palace. This is where we're going to work in we're going to work in my head canon where she is part of the yonzen han family because we need we need a scandinavian magic maker and winnie winnie is our best option right now yep okay i like that i like that so she so but as part of her taking over the the management of the ice palace we're also going to work back in hans skate shop, which she's also going to kind of – she's going to be working that. Like there's the Ice Palace – the skate shop is built onto the Ice Palace. Exactly.

Yes, yes. So it's all kind of – Makes perfect sense. So when he's doing that, so she can give – she can sharpen a skate while she's giving some advice, that kind of shit. Yep, yep. Okay. So then – so so we're starting out so it's junior year we're starting off right um and so we're we're working some of these kids back in evans here evans at eden hall sophie's at eden hall they're both playing hockey um nick is obviously going to be here but i in my uh my thinking is he's he's kind of faded away from hockey so he's going to be just the best friend sidekick guy and then him we're going to

bring him and mj's podcast back so they're going to be calling the games both him and mj love that and providing like the the voiceover backstory kind of stuff right yep yeah um and with the occasional the occasional uh cameo of mj's dad of terry terry terry will come in every once in a while yeah like he'll take them to the minnesota wild game yeah or we'll you know we're setting up to broadcast the game and terry's plugging in chords and he's like the roadie you know he's in there plugging chords you know tech guy now and he's on the road with them driving them to and fro exactly yeah um and so then we bring most of the kids along really any anybody that we can anybody that you know scheduling permitted that we can bring along so we're we're gonna bring sam back sam back for sure and my goal is sam's coming

back and we're gonna transition him to goalie we're going to transition him to goalie. Okay. We're going to transition him to goalie and either one of two things, either Coop doesn't come back, which I'm okay with. If even though Luke, Luke Islam is a fantastic actor, I'm okay with not bringing Coop back because he's the character is like Goldberg. He's fucking worthless.

So we either, either that either Coop doesn't come back or he comes back and we transition him into a defensive player right i love that you were able to carve in just a tiny bit of goldberg hate just like this i go always room for a little bit of goldberg hate when i was okay keep going sorry i didn't i just that was really good stuff that's like oh let me just take a few jabs at goldberg as we're as we're driving past keep going but so so either coop doesn't come back or we transition them to d okay yeah and sam sam is the goalie right and this is where we can we can bring scott white or scooter in a little more as not just the ad but next he was the goalie in d3 right yeah so we can we can have him mentor

sam a little bit and be like hey this you know teach him how to be a goalie kind of thing right yeah um same with like full if we're transitioning coop to d fulton do like a little we can have like a little side mentorship story there right okay yeah um i would love i would love to bring lauren and logan back um but again not not necessary um if they come back we can work in some stories for I would love to bring Lauren and Logan back But again Not necessary If they come back we can work in some stories for them There's two people Two people I for sure absolutely want to bring back

Okay From season two We're going to move them to Minnesota Just like they did with Kenan And all the other and Julie and Kenny Wu and all them. We're moving them to Minnesota, to Eden Hall for scholarships, right? Bringing Gertie back?

So Gertie is the third one. Gertie is like a wish list. If we can bring Gertie back, that would be great. So you definitely think AJ? So I need AJ. AJ is going to be one of the seniors. He's going to be the upperclassman, right? So he's a senior because I feel like he's older than them. So he's a little he's going to be one of the seniors. He's going to be the upperclassman, right? So he's a senior.

Cause I feel like he's older than that. Yeah. So he's a little older. So he's one of the seniors, but we need it. We need him to move to Eden hall. And you know who else we're fucking bringing with him? Prize.

Rambo. We're being, we're bringing Rambo and we're doing a bash sisters thing with Rambo. And then, um, Maya or Sophie, I would prefer so if we can i would so this is where gertie is like a wishlist thing if we can bring gertie in we do rambo gertie bash sisters right nice love if there's no gertie then we gotta we gotta find another girl maybe maya maybe sophie well we'll slot we'll slide another one in there yeah but for sure rambo aj making the move

to minnesota fries and gertie you could talk me into you i don't necessarily need them but we can do it okay okay okay but now so we have two with the kids right so we have and then there's there'll be a couple that hate a sprinkling of new kids right Maybe they have actual speaking lines. Maybe they're just in the background. There's going to be enough kids to actually form a fucking hockey team on this team though. You know, it's going to be, we're going to have a bench. We're going to have, and some of them, some of them might not have speaking lines just because you need a lot of kids. Right. Yeah.

But so the two main like kids storylines that I want working through this season, right. Okay. Yeah. One, one is Evan is trying desperately to make the junior team USA, right?

Okay. Oh, that's fine. That's his arc through this junior team USA, the juniors. Cause it'll help him get scholarships. Exactly. And two more cameos for you.

Okay? Within Team USA. Okay. First one is Tibbles. Tibbles is back. Is Tibbles alive? Yeah, I checked. He's alive. Tibbles is back. He's still working

Team USA. He's still working Team USA. He's like the head, whatever he was in D2. He's like that for Team USA. And then underneath him, cameo, you have the head scout for Team USA. Luis Mendoza. That's not bad. I was thinking Dwayne. Oh, okay.

I like Dwayne. Either one. Those are both solid. Whatever duck we can get, essentially, that hasn't already made a cameo. And I think that you want a duck that was recruited into the ducks. Into Team USA. Yeah, you want someone who was recruited recruitingruiting Dwayne, Louise Julie the Cat

Although I was thinking Because Julie the Cat and Scooter Had a little love affair Maybe they're married I love that And their kid is coming up as a goalie Well Sam's a goalie Oh that's right

Well their kid's coming up Quick as a cat Scoring goals goalie? Well, Sam's our goalie. Oh, that's right. Well, their kid's coming up as like, you know, quick as a cat scoring goals. But so I was thinking, yeah, Tibbles and maybe they named their kid cat like Caitlin. They call her cat for short. Yeah, that's not bad.

Yeah. Sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt. I just said Tibbles and Dwayne and Dwayne. Yeah, Dwayne we could cycle out for Luis or Julie. Even Kenny, even though Kenny's already been back, we could cycle Kenny in there. Somebody that was part of the Team USA is now the head scout for Team USA. And so then you have them, like Evan's trying to schmooze them up.

He's trying to show off for them. He's trying to make that team, right? Love that. The other storyline um is sophie and it's so sophie's still struggling with identity type identity yeah yeah it's like does she want to focus on academics does she want to focus on hockey does she want to shun both of those things and find some you know does she want an artist she want to be the next? She want to be the next Celine Dion. Yeah. Oh, her heart will go on Brandon.

I can tell you that. Okay. So that's, that's the, the, the kids, right? The kids. Oh, I love that. Okay. I actually love both of those stories. Okay.

So I got more though. This is a good step, Brandon. You should be proud of yourself. So the reason, so moving on, the reason scooter is bringing in Bombay, right? He's bringing in is because for the past however long or whatever, the rival school, and I forget what, we'll take one of the schools that were in D3. I forget the names of them. Yeah. But one of the rival schools has just been. The St. Paul Cinnamon Buns.

Sure. Or the the Edina Viper Freeze. There you go. I like St. Paul cinnamon buns way better, but that's fine. It's neither here nor there. Could you imagine a fighting cinnamon bun?

It would look like the Montgomery Biscuits. I was going to say the biscuits. That's exactly what I was picturing. That'd be a sick mascot. A little angry. And then you could get Cinnabon as your sponsor and off to the races. Other than, I guess,

off to the races of diabetes. That's your sponsor. That's fine. That's part of it. Alright, sorry. I didn't mean to... So the rival school has been dominating right yeah dominating hall and hall is those goddamn cinnamon buns keep going there eden hall is a uh prestigious institution right we can't allow this

scooter can't have this because all everybody is talking about man scooter you're you're up here scooter we need like you're doing great as far as academics Everybody's graduating But our hockey team's losing So get your fucking shit together Scooter And so What I'm thinking for the rival school Is

The coach Of the rival school Is connected to Bombay So Bombay Throughout all of this the coach of the rival school is connected to bombay right and so bombay bombay and throughout all of this like like what if it's what if the coach of the rival school you're gonna you're gonna you're gonna steal it my idea but go ahead i think you're right on track here go ahead i was gonna say like riley's great-grandson oh no that's not what i was thinking oh i think that could work. Coach Riley spiraled into a shame and now his son

is back with the Hawks to avenge his dad's glory. The Hawks are peewee. His dad has come back to avenge all things Bombay and bring the Riley name back to glory.

That could work. That's not what I was glory. So that could work. That's not what I was thinking, but that could work. It could. It's close to what I had though. Were you going Coach T? No. I thought about bringing him along as a side character, but I

decided against it. The coach needs a Bombay connection though, right? Okay. Yeah. But throughout this whole time, the coach is connected to Bombay. But Bombay, like when we meet him in season one, he has shunned off everybody. He's become a hermit or whatever.

And even so, even with the Ice Palace coming back and him coaching the Ducks or whatever, he's still not fully opened up to everybody yet. Cause he's still strict. His relationship is still strained with Charlie. So he hasn't, the coach is connected to Bombay, but Bombay takes this, takes the whole job, not knowing about the,

the, the rival school coach, right? He doesn't, he hasn't been paying attention to the news or the newspapers or anything. He's like, I don't, I don't know who the coach, who any of the coaches are in this league or whatever.

So what I was thinking is the rival coach or the rival team's coach is the college kid that Bombay got fired for, right? But not only did Bombay get fired, that kid ends up getting kicked out of school for it right and blackballed from the ncaa and we we know bombay with with everything he hermits himself he shuts everybody off so when that whole thing happens he cut ties with that kid and that kid was like just hanging out to dry hasn't talked to him since yep oh that's good Brandon and so you need to get get with someone that can help put pen to paper you should reach out to

Rosillo he's he's yeah all right well maybe we'll see we'll see get your script but so he so that's the rival the rival coach that guy and so throughout season three you know we have the the moment where bombay realizes oh fuck that's the kid that's the kid i i like uh abandoned or whatever james

yes and so and he's still incredibly bitter towards bombay he's like you you abandoned me you left me like you left me all alone this is all your fucking fault yeah um and so there's a whole like you know that all that drama throughout the season when they whenever they they meet up um and then the the we need one more side character is so the the rival school the main coach head coach is the the kid that bombay got kicked out of school or whatever and then he has like a wild like a wily little assistant coach who's like the comedic relief who's just doing fucking nonsense right who's just there um just like you're like the typical trope where it's

like the goofy sidekick yes evil villain exactly um yeah like you know like the um what's the assistant to dr frankenstein you know i'm talking about yeah exactly i know i forget the name but yeah exactly what you're talking about yeah just like the the weird the weird sidekick who says weird shit and you know does he's like screaming on the bench and stuff like that yeah um so you have him running a buck so then the plan is right for season three. You end with the state championship, the Eden hall ducks versus rival school and the rival coach. And the rival Paul cinnamon buns, but the same Paul cinnamon buns and the St. Paul,

guess what? The St. Paul cinnamon buns win again. They went state again, Bombay loses in stakes at the end of season. Ooh, how sweet it is, Brandon.

And then season four season four is when you bring charlie back okay so at the beginning of season four bomb bombay reconnects with charlie and you bring him into the fold as either the assistant coach or bombay talks him into taking either i can go back and forth either charlie takes over as head coach at the beginning or the end one of the two right yeah and you still have fulton there as the assistant coach so you so theoretically if you're bringing if if charlie is not replacing him at the beginning you have bombay as the head coach and then charlie and fulton both as assistants as we're going through and then at the end Charlie would

take over for the head coach or he takes over like they reconnect in episode one episode two Bombay is like I I've lost it I don't have it anymore you like you can you you need to take over head coach and he hands him the duck call back yes so something like that

and then season four Charlie like we're still working through most of those storylines with Evan trying to team Yose and all that, Sophie, and they went and then Charlie sprinkles all the secret sauce that they need in Minnesota. And the Minnesota Miracle Man

magic has officially been passed to Charlie. Yep. And he leads Eden Hall to a victory at the end of season four. Whose mom does he hook up with? Nick's. Both moms. I'm so sorry I asked because that was a really good ending.

That's the end. Season four. Donzo. And you never touch touch it never touch the mighty ducks again ip's over the happy ending we don't need any more mighty ducks okay but so brandon that's good sim so hold on i have i have i have cast i have casting ideas as well if you want to hear this i will just but before you go into that i just want to say you need to send this recording around to studios just like people used to send demo tapes to see if we can get this picked up by someone like like figure out a way for us to get this picked up and like this is our big break brandon this is how much do you think how much do you think

if we reach out to Disney and we're like, we'll buy the Mighty Ducks IP from you, how much do you think they would ask? 50 bucks? I can do that. I can swing 50. I can swing 50.

Let's check in. Have our people call their people. Yeah. So that's the arc. Let's check in. Have our people call their people. Yeah. But yeah, so that's the arc. That's the story arc. Season three slash season four. Okay. I think that's how you do it.

But so casting ideas. So like I said, Scooter for the AD. You bring Tibbles and Dwayne in for Team USA. Maybe you sprinkle in a Julie the Cat cameo as Scooter's wife. You got to get Guy and Connie have to have a kid on the team. My plan, I don't know about kids on the team. No, because I don't think the timeline would work out because they. Oh, that's right.

But like Connie as the state senator or something. That would get worked in somewhere. We would have A averman worked in as a limbo driver somewhere like his service would go pay would like or like averman will have like made the averman bus service and so like they take the averman bus service to and from all their games yeah and it's like the plan greyhound like averman buses are like greyhound buses in the twin cities the plan would be to work as many cameos in as possible so i want to get even if luis is not team usa i want to get luis and as a cameo i want to get kenny kenny comes back in banks comes back in yeah um i would love to get like like maybe throw carp in here for a scene. I'm trying to think who else. Just as many.

Jesse. Jesse. Jesse for sure. Yeah. Jesse's dad too. Terry. Is he still alive? I think so.

Oh, okay. If not, we'll CGI. But yeah, the plan would be to work in as many Like little one-off cameos as possible You know, just weave them in You've got to get

What's-her-face, the trainer Or not the trainer Oh, the tutor? I keep wanting to say Miss Bliss But that's, Miss Bliss is The first season of Say Bye to the Ball It's Michelle Something

But yeah She could still be working with Team USA it's Michelle something. But yeah, she could still be working with Team USA. We could work her in with Tibbles. Have her and Tibbles show up, you know? Yeah. Yeah, we could work in so many cameos. Even if it's just real brief in and out.

We got to get some Team Iceland in there. Somehow someone has to be from Iceland. Maybe got to get some Team Iceland in there. Somehow someone has to be from Iceland. Maybe. Maybe we get one of the kids on the rivals team is Stanson. Stanson. There you go. There you go.

I'm Junior the dentist. Exactly. But so and then casting wise, rival coach, right? Rival coach and crazy assistant coach. Head rival coach. I don't know if we could get him. He's probably a little pricey. But my first thought, and I have a couple other ideas that I'm open to.

I'm willing to this isn't hard set fast but my first thought was Adam Brody from the OC from uh he's been in he's in so many other stuff grind did you ever see grind that's a great skateboarding movie no um but he plays Seth Cohen in the OC as well like he Is what he's famous for, Adam Brody That's my first thought That's an okay casting I suppose, I don't like the OC as much As you do, so I'm not as like

You gotta watch, go watch his other stuff He's a fantastic actor, and I think he would Be able to pull off He would be able to pull off he would be able to pull off the dramatic scenes with bombay as well as switching to comedy really easy he's he's he would be good at that he's been in a ton of like he did a a bunch of episodes of the league um he played uh he played one of the guys in there i love that show. I think he could pull it off. Taco from The League is just so well-written.

Such a well-written character. One of the people that I would love to work into this, because I love him as an actor, would be Jason Manzoukas, who plays Rafi in The League. Oh, yeah. I thought about... Brooklyn Nine-Nine. His about... Brooklyn Nine-Nine. His character in Brooklyn Nine-Nine is very similar. I thought about... And obviously, he wouldn't be that wild. This is still a kid's show.

Come on. He could be in my version. Have you ever seen the... Is it The Long Dumb Road? I think that's what it's called. The Long Dumb Road is I think that's what it's called. The Long Dumb Road is a movie he did. He's fantastic in that, and he's not as over-the-top crazy. But I love him, and I would love to work him in.

I thought about throwing him as the assistant coach, like the crazy assistant coach. But I waffled on that. I don't know where. I would love to work him in, but I don't know where i would love to work him in but i don't know where quite yet to work him in yeah but assistant coach i was thinking have you um have you ever seen um the real bros of cd valley i've seen clips of it on so it's the guy the main guy behind that i think he writes it it and he plays Xander in that. And then he's also in, did you ever watch home economics?

It was like an ABC show. Topher Grace was in it, but he plays Topher Grace's brother. Okay. His name is Jimmy Tatro or Tatro. I forget how you say his last name. Okay. But I was thinking him for the assistant coach. Cause he would be able to do

he would be able to pull off all the zany like comic release stuff yeah you should you would it would be fun to have the assistant coach be like a crazy Canadian that relocated to

I thought Minnesota to get chirping and like, oh yeah, geez. I thought about that for a second because I thought about bringing in Jared Kesso, who is the guy who plays Shorzy and the main guy in Letterkenny. I forget his name.

The character's name. But Jared Kesso. I thought about throwing him in. So I had two ideas for Jared to work Jared in. I thought about throwing him in. I had two ideas for Jared to work Jared in. I thought about throwing him in. But I thought about throwing him in. Bubbles as the zany assistant coach.

You know what he needs? He needs a kitten. That would honestly... Just get him a kitty. He'll feel better, but he'll play. We can't just rip off Bubbles, though. We would have to switch him up in a little bit. I don't hate

that idea. Have Ricky be the assistant coach. Bless us all with Ricky-isms. For Jared Kessel, I had two ideas to work him in right the first one was possibly the assistant coach the second one i was thinking with winnie taking over uh the ice palace and hans's skate shop you could bring him in as her brother her older brother and work him in as like the scandinavian magic dude um with all

it because then he could do all the weird sayings and all that kind of you know all that kind of shit yeah um so i was thinking that so jared keso and jason manzoukis are two people that i would love to work in but i just don't have a role. A set role in mind for them. And I don't hate the Bubbles idea. Bubbles is. You're welcome. We would just have to change him enough. That we're not just like copying Bubbles.

We'll just bring the dude that played Bubbles. And like talk to those guys. And be like listen man. Do you want to cross over Bubbles. Into the Mighty Ducks universe. And then Ricky. bubbles and like talk to those guys and be like listen man do you want to cross over bubbles into into the mighty ducks universe and then the thing is i just don't think i don't think as hilarious as that would be i don't think it would translate well no for like a winning program you know oh yeah that would that would be better better having Ricky be the assistant coach in my mighty dice universe. That would, that would work actually.

But the, the, the, the other idea that I kicked around was coach T as the assistant, as the assistant coach, but he's, he wouldn't necessarily like the comic relief, I think would suffer a little bit just because of the established character that coach T already is. Yeah. a little bit just because of the established character that coach security is yeah um but yeah that's what i was thinking i also thought maybe adam devine as the assistant coach love that casting you know so somebody along those lines like jimmy tatro um adam devine adam devine is the assistant coach would be excellent but see i i think we would with

adam divine and adam brody i think we're running into the issue that they're too big it would be the price tag would be hefty yeah you know yeah i did have i briefly had the idea um for the head coach before i realized i wanted it to be the kid that Bombay got kicked out of school. I was thinking Denzel as the rival coach. Denzel in training day? Yes, like mean

son of a bitch Denzel. I think, oh, imagine him and Emilio going back and forth. It'd be amazing. Just going toe to toe. Yeah. I do love Denzel. Man on Fire is great. Man on Fire is, oh, Hurricane.

This is the story of the hurricane. Dude, I, Denzel and like John Q, that movie was so fucking good too. I don't think I've ever seen John Q Where he takes the hospital hostage Because they won't give his Kid I think it was based on a true story Because they won't give his kid the treatment Because of the insurance

Check out John Q it's a Denzel classic Brandon you should You should feel really bad about yourself For not seeing it quite yet But Man on Fire is... I always forget about it, but it was one of my favorite movies of all time for a very long time. It was so fucking good. I just rewatched the Equalizer movies.

Those are great. Those are good, too. Yeah. I just bought AMC Stubs, their little premiere pass or whatever. Oh, okay. It's like $25 a month you get three free movies a week okay um it's fantastic it's the best thing i've ever done sounds interesting it's worth it dude it's worth it i saw 65 the other day that adam driver

movie have you seen the previews for that no it's pretty good it was pretty good he's like it's like set in like that's set in the past but he's from like a different planet like advanced civilization whatever and they're they're trying to fly to a different planet to another planet like way over

there and they run into an asteroid belt and he gets yesterday like emergency crash land on a planet that he doesn't know has it been charted before turns out it's Earth 65 million years ago and he runs into fucking dinosaurs

dude he's like running around from a fucking T-Rex I think I have seen that it was actually pretty good when I first saw the trailer i was like that seems apostrophes yeah but it was it was it was it was a lot better than i it was really good i recommend it it was solid oh i can tell you this brandon i had zero desire to see it after i saw the preview it's a lot better okay yeah so you so you get You get this AMC gold pass

And you just You Do you have to go to the theater Or do you get to stream them? That's the issue No, you go to the theater You know See, like, why would you want to do that?

I love I love going to the theaters I used to But now I've got an old man bladder So, like, I don't want to have to Put a cork in it I do love like movie theater popcorn

And get some raisin Or some bunch of crunch Wild cherry icy I always go Dr. Pepper Because I want a Soda for my That's fair I've done Dr. Pepper and Mr. Pibb

For a movie But I got the large Icy when I saw 65 I was crushing that wild cherry Didn't get a brain freeze? Well you space it out You don't chug the whole thing You can't chug

An icy I'm not chugging it but i sure like to toe the line of what is an appropriate amount of icy oh i don't first five minutes dude i don't i don't handle i pace myself i don't handle brain freezes very well they are you gotta rub the your tongue on the roof of your mouth there's that yeah well yeah there's like a i'm afraid exactly where it is but there's like a place i I think it's towards the back of your head. Start punching it? No, you just put pressure on it and it

alleviates it. Just start... I'm a responsible icy drinker, though, because I've had way too many debilitating brain freezes. I'm getting too old. I can't put up with that anymore. Plus, you don't want to drink all of it and then halfway through the movie you got nothing well that's

what i don't want like half melted icy like i'm just gonna go it doesn't melt that quick i'm either going pepsi or mr pibb and um you know a nice large popcorn getting that movie theater butter going with it and then i've got to have either raisinets or bunch of crunch for sure or maybe some regular m&ms or peanut butter m&ms if they have that i'm not much of a i'm not a candy guy at theaters it's popcorn or nothing well i like the uh i like the the chocolate with my popcorn i like a little sweet little savory i like to are you the the the guy who like dumps it in the popcorn and then you guys at home i fully mix but in the movie theater i keep it separate but equal okay okay so if you if you like going to the movie theater i highly recommend the amc thing i bought the reason i bought it is because there's and i forget this is gonna date the podcast but whenever there's like fucking 20 movies that are

coming up in the next like two months where i'm like i would like to see that um like i i really want to see creed 3 i gotta watch creed 1 and 2 again though it's been a while since i've seen that so i gotta catch up on i think they're on Amazon Prime Video. They're on HBO. I know that for sure. And then the new Scream just came out. I fucking love Scream, so I gotta go watch that. Dude, those first two

Screams came out right in prime middle school. I probably watched the first Scream movie a thousand times.

So like Monday, Monday and Friday, like noon is when I go to the movies. Nobody else is there. So I just fucked it up. Nice. That's see, that is where you got it. you know what i mean like those

Lacuna's and Justin Timberlake,

the friends with benefits, bad teacher. I think bridesmaids is around that time. Um, you know, I saw some pretty good movies, um, during there.

I don't do prime time movies that's uh that's a hard pass yeah oh good news he's 80 for brady distributed by paramount pictures so it'll probably show up on paramount plus here any day oh what a what a joyous day for you brandon he can let me know how terrible it is I heard on Cousin Sal's podcast that it was pretty bad They made someone go to it They made someone go to it As punishment for a bet

It's not going to be great But I love Jane Fonda Sally Field I think Lily Tomlin's in that one too I don't know I love Forrestonda. Sally Field. I think Lily Tomlin's in that one, too. Is she? I don't know. I love Forrest Gump's mom, too.

Rita Moreno is a fantastic actress from the golden age of Hollywood is what her Wikipedia says. She's Puerto Rican. Alright, Brandon, we went way too far off. Do we have any last licks for Game Changers before we wrap this up?

We are no, that's my season three pitch season four outline. That was great. It wasn't, it wasn't copyrighted. Nobody's still my fucking idea. Yeah. Do you like, listen, it's almost as good as mine but you know i was like so i was i was joking i've been joking around this whole entire time when we've been like hey disney hire us as a writers and then i outlined that shit and i was like you know what i should be fucking hired as a writer yeah i should be there with you i'm support, if nothing else. I'm trading you out for Mark Chavez. He's my new writing partner.
