It's not worth winning if you can't win! Yeah! In America Enlightened nation Where even women get education From clean to cook Every skill you need Don't fret, I'll tell the recipes Cause women cannot read

Say what you will about this movie he's but that songs a fucking banger welcome in my friends and if you do not know what song we are singing it is from the one and only theater camp yes this is the cake eaters podcast. My name is Brandon. That's Heath giving us a fantastic rendition of One of my favorite songs of all time now women cannot read Me hold on the next verse says ABCD. She don't know cuz women cannot read Then she I free up for how the lyrics do you have the lyrics up because in the yeah in her in her verse she's like she's like talking about how like she's trying to cipher all the all these pictures and

cipher all the the the dashes and the letters it's like starting to make sense it's. It's really good stuff. Yep, we did. So like you said, we're doing theater camp today, which has our boy. Our boy, and he sings, he sings Wicked, right? He sings Defying Gravity. He does sing Wicked, but I just I mean, you know the the listeners know my thoughts about all things game

changers and and you know any movie that we do about game changers usually ends up disappointing if i'm just being honest but it's cool it's our boy kub kuberson one and only this movie is playing to his strengths yeah he doesn't have to stop any hockey pucks. Yeah. What was the stupid-ass goalie goal play called? Do you remember? What was it called? It was a different bird. It was like the goose or something like that, right?

It was something that wasn't even a duck. Losers. Good old Coob, though. Crushed it. It was shot in only 19 days did you know that i wrote that down shot 19 days did you see the other tidbit of information that about uh the vast majority if not all of the dialogue improvised oh that's actually kind of impressive i mean it's just it just you know i i don't i don't know brandon it's just it's like you with newsies right where it just wasn't for me i was gonna say we've established

multiple times i do not care for musicals right yeah i i enjoyed this movie because it wasn't a musical though exactly it wasn't it wasn though exactly it was it wasn't technically a musical it was a movie about musicals it was a movie about them performing a musical which i that you know that kind of those like two degrees of separation i can get on board with the only saving grace for this movie for me was the real bros of simi valley guy that's it was there's There's two saving graces. Wait, why did you just have balloons fly up in your video? Did you see that?

No. Did you do that? No. Oh, that's awesome. I throw up a peace sign. Is that what's doing it? Dude, I don't know. We're partying, I guess.

Dude, Zoom. Okay. Sorry. I don't know if I'm just like really here it's like the balloons happen man like i saw it i saw the like i am not that you know like this is when this is when you have like the uh you know the arrested development uh narrator there were no balloons you know all right anyway sorry what were you saying i didn't mean to interrupt you i have my my like the view of myself like um x'd out so i don't i don't see myself so i had no idea

if the balloons were going on they were there they were there it was a it was a party in here for sure for a second i don't know maybe zoom likes theater camp that's fine i wonder if it was because i because i put up a number two i wonder if it took my peace sign as like a i wonder if that's like a secret hand signal to where you shoot balloons out yeah so i mean who knows these new ai zoom features it's it's wild i didn't get a new i got a new uh little webcam thing maybe maybe that's what did it yeah who knows um what i was saying though is there's two saving graces the one The one you were going to say, which is Jimmy Tatro, I think is how you say his name. He's from Real Bros of Simi Valley, which if you have never watched the Real Bros of Simi Valley, it's on Facebook. Facebook TV or Facebook Watch, whatever that's called.

Have you watched that show? I've only watched reels of it oh dude that is my like that's my like guilty pleasure like i would die for that show um it's so it's so funny it's like a mock uh reality show um yeah there's only like two there's only like three seasons and each episode is only like 10 15 minutes long um but it's absolutely fucking hilarious they just play like the douchiest uh bros from uh like uh uh semi-valley out in uh out in la and it's got uh it's it's him it's uh do you remember you remember dj getter yeah yeah yeah the saw dude. Yeah, and then Nick is a coletti or whatever the sud dude I forget how you say his last name. But yeah, they're all of them are in it and they fucking crush it dude

It's so good. I highly recommend it It's on YouTube so I might well the first the first seasons on YouTube Okay, then they got picked up by facebook and so i think two and three are on facebook which if you have a facebook account it's completely free actually i think it's free even if you don't have a facebook account well i mean boy i haven't logged into facebook for a very long time the the only time i've ever logged into Facebook in the past 10 years to watch Real Bros. One time I had because I turned off people being able to post on my wall because all my degenerate Houston friends, whenever Nebraska would lose, they would always like post a picture of the opposing like team's mascot like railing something and it was just i was like all right i can't have you know like when nebraska loses to texas a couple bulls banging out you know it's just

keep it classy houston yeah that's right like that's that's the most houston shit ever but anyways once i got a real job it had to um had to shut that down real job where people were trying to facebook stalk me but anyways long story short i'm gonna watch this first season on youtube because all four episodes total about 40 minutes tops so yeah all the episodes are like 10 15 minutes the first the first season isn't the best season season two and season three the ones that are on facebook are old dude is that the one where it's like bro get check your baby like what's your deal bro yeah yeah dj getter he's uh oh that's the show this guy's problem he's staring at him dude he's a baby walk story short j short Jimmy Tacho uh and his girlfriend in

the show they have a baby and the baby so at the end of season one um his girlfriend is like oh I'm pregnant and then season two which in this timeline of the show is like a week or a month later the baby's already turned in five and then at the at the end the baby just like ages crazy fast so by the end of season three it's like a 25 year old that's amazing it's great um but yeah but yeah that's the that's that's i think that's season one of that episode one of season two is when dj getter tries to pick the fight with the baby talk what are you looking at boy you got a staring problem oh my god all right well i mean yeah i i gotta check it out i gotta get the we gotta get the

listeners speaking of he was hilarious part of this movie he was 100 hilarious one-liners from from real roses to me valley there are so many good that was the saving grace of this movie like the the the plot's kind of interesting all of this everybody everybody can fucking sing their goddamn brains out everybody's fantastic as like a singing performer it was unbelievable yeah but the like it's great acting i i will i like that right like that was it was that the second saving grace you're gonna say like these well no i was see the top to bottom it was very well done from the acting it just wasn't it just i wanted to like this movie so much too you're not a you're not a you're not a theater kid i'm not a real one i'm like a i'm like a poser theater kid i like i like you know christian bale's Santa Santa thing but the other

similar case I was going to say and now that we know that all or most of the dialogue was improvised it's even better it's all the one liners that are in this that are sprinkled in this movie it's so good I have a bunch written down we'll hit them as we go but that was great the

the like screen the text overlay like narration was pretty great very wes anderson right like that's what i thought like did when i wes anderson prodigy direct this so the the girl who plays molly right or no that's her real name the girl who plays rebecca diane rebecca d uh her name is molly gordon she co-directed it with nick lieberman they also they also wrote it co-directed oh she helped write it who's nick lieberman oh he's i don't think he's in the movie oh he's just a director who has not directed anything yet but um that's that was the thing i knew that was when i knew we were in for at least a serviceable movie is it's uh so so jimmy totro's mom like runs this summer camp right and they're having financial trouble

they're trying to get more money she while she's like scouting at like a middle school play she has like a seizure from one of the lights it goes into a coma that was really funny actually like because you know they always tell people to not to beware of those lights and for them to actually have it happen it was wild stuff yeah so she goes into coma so it's up to jimmy to run the camp now right so the the next scene or so is him walking into her office at the camp and the uh what's his name is it glenn the like stage the stage guy yeah glenn yeah who does all the props and all the the stage direction he's like he was like in the room looking for something or whatever and when jimmy walks in

he just like freezes and hides behind a curtain yeah it's like a going bit every every time he like every time jimmy like pulls a curtain back glenn's there throughout the movie which is a nice little bit but when they show glenn this is when i knew we were in for at least a serviceable movie they show glenn and they have the little um um like name tag like this is glenn and then it has this like title and did you see what the title said third generation stage manager and i saw that and i was like oh dude these guys get it these guys get it we're in for at least a serviceable movie here with some some good quips the actress that plays Joan is uh one

of my favorites too she does yeah so I forgot that she is um she's not princess caroline and bojack horseman yeah so it's it's amy amy sedaris is so good she's so good that was the one thing i was a little disappointed with because when she came on screen i was like yes i love this and then she was gone and then she went into the coma and never we don't see her to the very end again i was a little disappointed with that but oh god she and she's like she's a voice actress she's got all the bit parts in the history of bit parts you know what movie she should definitely be highlighted for though space buddies she she just space buddies yeah she plays she's a voice of gravity in fucking space buddies dude the voice imagine that brandon imagine being the voice of

gravity in space buddies what a dream what a dream well okay i haven't i've never seen space buddies i've never seen it i've never seen any of the buddies movies so i saw santa buddies i don't remember it at all but it was i was I'm assuming it was great when you said she was the voice of gravity it took me probably 15 seconds to like decipher what that meant at first I thought that was just a at first I thought it was just a sick ass name

for one of the dogs well that yeah I mean that's fair but dibs my next dog is named gravity 100% name of my dog that's fair but dibs my next dog is is named gravity 100 percent aiming my dog that's fine that's fine i called it nobody nobody can take it all of the three people that are listening to this episode i called dibs you can't take it I also love that she's the secretary

in Elf. She's in a billion things, but those are just great characters. Absolutely hilarious. Was she on Bad TV or anything like that? I feel like she might have been. I was looking for that, but I didn't see it anywhere. I i just figured because she's absolutely hilarious i just figured

did something like that yeah i don't know yeah that that was my one complaint runs a cupcake and cheese ball business out of her um apartment when she's not acting cupcake and cheese balls what a life what a journey she's been on joan anyways all right keep going sorry we we got sidetracked on amy yeah amy's there's um but yeah so she goes into a coma it's up to jimmy who's his name's troy in the in the movie it's up to him to run the camp while she's gone and he he is not a theater kid he's like you uh he's a jock he's an entree for newer his troy puns were great so he's also he's also like that bring bring some of my on troy preneurship he's like uh everybody hasn't seen it he's he's his

character is like a like a vlogger like a like a like a tic tac or not tic tac tick tock tic tac tic tac bro i just longer i just aged like 50 years by calling it tic tac dude um that was really good stuff but uh you know brandon that you know what it wasn't it wasn't bussing that's for sure when he starts when the kid sings post malone and he starts dancing i lost oh my god i lost it there that was what's it what something and then he goes turn around i didn't know that was post malone i i this movie made me feel like a real old guy brandon like i really did i was like i didn't recognize post malone when it came on like i was like something i was like man i think of something about the camera i was like god i

feel like i've heard that song before and then he's like do you know any other post one i was like oh damn it yeah he's like you know any other ones-mortem? I was like, oh, damn it. Damn it. He's like, do you know any other ones off the top of your head you just rattle off? Yeah, that was so good. And the way he gets up and his moves. Oh, my God. It was so good. I have in my notes, the fanny pack over the shoulder is a fucking look, dude. I need to start doing that. Oh, my God. You got any good fanny packs over the shoulder Is a fucking look Dude I need to start doing that

Oh my god you got any good fanny packs In your arsenal I don't but I mean that's a quick Amazon You know Amazon two day delivery Away I have a WWE championship belt Igloo cooler belt Oh damn

Is it keep it cool Yeah it fits four beers Four to six beers in it Depending on the size of your cans And it just fits around your waist Well you gotta rock it on the shoulder That's the move Well that's more like Roman Reigns

Or Seth Rollins You know I might just go Around the waist You know like the champ Anybody can wear a fanny pack on their fanny you know it takes a real man to wear it on his shoulder all right whatever you say brandon whatever you say i mean a lot of people wear the belt around their shoulder that's fine you know what was uh who was it that like tucked it into their belt in the front so like dangled

who was that do you remember no i gotta look that up yeah do some vamping while i look that up some vamping what's vamping like like uh you know vamping here it's like uh i'm an idiot like start talking oh yeah okay okay yeah well it's um yeah so yeah i have to did you see the bumper sticker of amos's car or which was rebecca diana's car oh was it her car was like mom dad i'm a thespian well i loved i loved the narrator the narrator thing where it was like they were they were inseparable they've been best friends um she even had a crush on him and then he came out or something like that yeah yeah and it shows um him like her going in for the kiss and him falling off the bench and stuff but they're so codependent that was really funny um oh it's uh it's uh um johnny nitro or john

morrison that's who did it uh wearing it off uh he would like tuck it into his the front of his pants and so then it would hang over his cock oh nice who wouldn't do that? Johnny Nitro. But watching Troy flounder while trying to manage a camp that's barely surviving was also really, really fun to watch because he had to fire everybody. Because he's like, all right, I'm just going to fire everyone and hire one person to do the job. And he had one applicant and she lied on her application that was that was another really fun riddle i i her scenes weren't as funny as i wanted them to be but like they it was like funny that they just she was like yeah she had two two good scenes which uh had to do with her teaching them stage combat where um the first one was when she's like talking to them and she's like so what is stage combat

and that all the kids are giving her like you know artsy theater sponsors and she's like no no no no like literally what the is stage combat guys the best is when she's like all right can i have someone give me a straight answer that's not poetry yeah and then the other one is the other one is at the mixer when um one of the when the two girls like do like it's like stage like a fight or whatever but she like legit slaps the other girl and then one of the the counselors from the other camp is like freaking out it's like what are you doing she's like why don't you try stage combat bitch uh it just i i don't i don't know the the the troy did call out a really like important thing when they were sitting in the dark like talking about the kids over the candlelight it got real

creepy real fast there for a second that was that one that was where i was i think that's when i text you and i was like you know i don't know i don't know about it it's kind of weird me out a little bit speaking of that there was one scene before we're doing the auditions um when uh i forget what which which uh camper was but she started uh she came up and she was singing les mis and amos turns to rebecca diane she goes you know this is actually a great song choice i totally believe her as a french prostitute sorry sex worker yeah yeah my bad sex worker uh that was that was a little weird that was a that was a great line i thought oh another another she was called a 10 year old french prostitute no he said he could buy her as a french prostitute like believable but uh another another another jimmy line that i loved was it was it's towards the beginning and he's like in his mom's office

looking at all her like framed stuff and there's one of it's like a framed play bill from one of the plays and he's like looking at it and he goes play ball yeah play ball and then I think I think he says something like she's hot or something right after that play ball she's hot singing Defying Gravity that was nice that was a nice touch it spoke to I listened to a little wicked before uh we logged in here another thing i loved was um so they do the camp does like three plays i think three or four plays and but the big one is the in original play that amos and rebecca right and they did uh when they're like announcing which what what the new one is they do a little flashback to uh the posters of previous ones

i wrote down the names because they're fucking wild i knew you would that's why i didn't i was like oh boy these are these are getting a little out there go ahead the first one is blackmail and botox and like the tagline was like don't give her any lip jesus christ it's like bob's burgers yeah exactly and then the second one was the briefcase the door and the salad no idea what that's about um and then the third one that's a business play that's a business play then the third one was the best one a hanukkah divorce oh i saw that one yeah a good divorce that is that was really good and then yeah it's it's like like i

said it's really the the one-liners were what kept me going um because so so uh i thought it was really funny too when the girl that was playing his mom like comes up to him and she's like hey does she have a diary like can you tell me about her trauma yeah trying to really get into the character he was like what is this little girl talking to me my dad my coma toast mom but so uh to give a better synopsis here of the movie so mom goes into a coma it's Troy's job to run the camp now. Like we said, he's not a theater kid. They call him a clueless crypto bro. Yep. And then all the kids keep calling him

Music Man. Because it's a musical. So that was my favorite line of the whole fucking thing. He's talking to Glenn and he's like, they keep calling me Music Man for some fucking reason. And Glenn's like, well, because it's a to glenn and he's like they keep calling me music man for some fucking reason and glenn's like well because it's a it's a musical and he goes everything's a goddamn musical here it's like yeah oh but um but so yeah so he's not a theater kid he's a he's an

entreu treupreneur entreupreneur so he's trying to you know you know wheel and deal or whatever and it turns out the camp next door that they did the mixer with just got bought by like a capital fucking firm yeah so and then that capital firm is trying to buy uh his mom's camp now too so they send a nice little honeypot over to to you know seduce troy into selling the camp which he does because it's it's going into foreclosure he gets all whirlwind and seduced by the girl and so he likes just signs the thing without really reading it um but there's a way he figures out a way out of it right he spends all night looking at the contract and he's like they only get the camp if it get if it is foreclosed so we just don't let it be foreclosed and so then he tries to um they they he turns the last play into like a big pitch to raise

some money he invites all his vlogging entrepreneur um but it's like a it's like a it's like a entrepreneur like group of vloggers yeah like a cohort exactly yeah what a run down uh uh but they the i loved the but uh just to skip ahead here the the narrating or the the text overlay about the vloggers um at the end where they're like they were so moved they wanted to save the camp but turns out none of them have any money so they couldn't do anything they did they did absolutely nothing but you know who comes to comes to the rescue is our boy tim yep oh the tim is staying there's the airbnb and they're like yeah do you know that he keeps complaining about the kids singing yeah although the way the airbnb was so good and then like it was the reason he donated because he was on wall street addicted to coke he really spoke to him

that was pretty funny the way uh jimmy delivers that line though where he's talking to where he's talking to glenn and he's like everything's a fucking musical here i'm so stressed out and tim tim keeps complaining that the kids are waking him up singing and then it just pans over to the dude he's like like a little wave yeah hey oh my god and it's wait hold on i do have to go i love because i just i love how he airs oh go ahead i just love how he airbnb'd one of the bunks he's like it's empty you might as well might as well it's amazing and he and he like is bunking with him they're like roommates oh i didn't catch that part are they yeah that's like he's they're bunking together i didn't catch that part yeah i have to go back to the post Malone part though

Brandon because after he gets done this exchange I forgot how much I love the exchange afterwards because he goes that's what's up dog finally and Amos is like can you clear now please thank you and he's and everyone's like calm down he's like no that was bussin inappropriate to give feedback during the audition and then he turns to the kid and he's like please don't internalize that please don't take any of that to heart he didn't mean that that was bussing dude the way amos was cracking me amos with the kids was cracking me up because he's such a asshole oh my god he's just taking all that that like he's just he's like ruining these kids self-esteem yeah very subtly but very

impactfully yeah um i loved at the end when one of the girls is like they're they're leaving one of the girls hugs him and he she she looks up at him and she goes thank you so much for being so hard on me yeah yeah and it really spoke to him he became a teacher well he was always a teacher he's always a uh an aspiring performer who full-time teachers right yeah that's right that's right that's right I I have one more line that maybe you were gonna get to but i thought it was fantastic it was from uh rebecca diane where she's yelling at the girl for the tear stick oh it's so good like tear sticks are doping for actors do you want to be the lance armstrong of acting with the stick oh my god that was that was that was really good sorry i have one more line and it was from the big

meme boss lady and it's as troy is approaching her and she's on the phone she's like of course she's going to cry i fired her because she cries too much that's a great one yeah yeah right right after that right after that when that during that conversation she's uh she's trying to uh like seduce him so she starts bringing up some of his like old vlogs and she talks about the the tuvs and troy's like trust you won't regret it in vibes that you gotta follow the tuvs dude i forgot about that it didn't make any fucking sense anyone classic that is can you repeat that again brandon tuvs guvs it's trust yeah you won't regret it and vibes yeah that's how like talk about a life new life credo that's a that's a that's a t-shirt we gotta throw on the store

that's that's a t-shirt the tvs dude on the store. That's, that's a t-shirt, the TVs, dude. So Troy, Troy, that's great. There's another one at the end when there's another, one of the other text overlays it's talking about, he wrote a book. Is that what it was? Or. Troy. Yeah.

He did something. He wrote a book or did like a documentary or something, but the title of it was you can't spell community without coma that's right i did that was at the very end you got it exactly right brandon he wrote a book about his mom he said you can't spell community without coma oh my god that's this uh this movie it's it's it's not fantastic by any means but these what the one-liners dude and the fact that now that now that i know that it was all fucking improvised these these guys are crushing it man it was that's what i said it was the the My beef with this is not the acting not the acting at all. It was very well done from everyone involved It just it was just kind of up and down for me. Like sometimes Yeah, I mean I don't get it I don't get it

That was I think I told you the stuff line that was one of the X i looked at a bunch of the reviews and it got pretty good reviews yeah the average imdb thing seven out of ten on imdb uh so pretty solid and but most of the good reviews uh mentioned that in some way i'd be like oh this is just like my theater camper oh theater kids get it oh it just it all it all robot all around um if you if you want to theater kid you weren't going to get this hashtag eye roll brandon um wait we missed you did you we missed a troy line real quick i was gonna say um in the the great um you great artistic metropolis of Wayne, America, did you have a bunch of theater kids? Did you guys – I mean, yeah.

There were 60 kids, so there was a very slim distinction, so it was like a handful. It wasn't like there was a huge posse, but there was a handful. Since there were so few kids, did they make everybody do the play uh no that was uh band the marching band had like a like our the way in high school marching band in from the 90s into the mid 2000s got a superior at state for like almost 30 years like it was pretty wild stuff like it was and so because everyone went out like the band director like it was just a thing like the band like if you were an athlete in wayne you were in the band a drummer i would play trumpet trombone like all that stuff so it was all the like band took, and then the leftovers that didn't play sports would usually do the theater stuff.

But we actually did Emily Kenny. Shout out Emily from Wayne, America. I think she's like two or three years older than me. She was on The Walking Dead. She was the little blonde girl at the farmhouse from The Walking Dead. Yeah, she's from my hometown an american actress and singer songwriter from wayne nebraska shout out emily kinney i don't know if you remember me i was a bit young i was a freshman and and she was a theater kid and i was a sports guy so we never really she's on the dead too much she's on the

flash and arrow yeah yeah she was the she was the bumble she was the bumblebee person i remember when i was watching the show and she popped on i was like what the fuck i went to high school with that girl it's like is this what is this what people from normal size places feel like when they see people i mean this is this is this is fat this is uh you know proof true for uh for all our listeners out there you can uh you can make it in wayne you can make it anywhere yeah i mean facts right like she just hopefully she didn't have to like sell her soul to the illuminati or anything with that with the cat williams stuff i've been getting some wild her wild tiktok suggestions she was in a few stuff but she's she wasn't in any you know her uh her imdb list isn't massive robust isn't massive enough i think to to uh invite to the illuminati and if if she sold her if she sold her soul for

that she got a raw deal yeah that's that's true that's rough that's that's rough stuff um i also just any reason to bring up psych on our show every time i see people tap dancing that episode of gus and lassie tap dancing i forget what season it's on that is one of my favorites what's the um there's shoot is it we can do two episodes did you know that we've got the we've talked about that one extensively friday the 17th but keenan is oh that's right the acapella episode which is another really really good episode that's right and they come back for another time time uh another time i think yeah he he well i don't know if keenan is but maybe not yeah i don't know urkel's in two of them i don't know if keenan's in the second one it comes back

it comes back for or not um and sean trying to trying to get into the acapella that's that's really good stuff i bet you because psych had so many um great like cameos and character actors i guarantee you there's more duck connections i think so we could hit on but uh we need to we need to add that not to not to show the fans how the sausage is made but you we need to add those psych episodes into the into the list we can do those ones like the the tv episodes or like season one of dawson's creek we can we can push those back a little bit and do that after three for sure at least after d3 yeah yeah oh yeah i'm not saying we need to do them now i'm not saying we need to do them now. I'm just saying we need to do them. I am also very much looking forward to watching Dustin's Creek for the first time.

Dude, I'm fucking pumped. I, I started watching the OC again. Got me pumped for Dustin's Creek.

I even, I even downloaded the OC theme song onto my phone, so I've been jamming to that out as I'm driving to work in the morning. Nice. California. By Phantom Planet, did you? Yeah, I mean, no.

I never really watched the OC. Dude, California by Phantomantom planet is a banger go listen if you say so i mean i don't know i don't know but you know who uh was a drummer for phantom planet at one time i can't remember if he was during that album or not but uh jason schwartzman remember phantom planet he's uh he's in all the wes and Anderson movies you'd know him if you saw him oh um was he the kid and accepted that's it oh no no no the guy from uh board to death the guy from board to death right yes but let me double check i think it's bored yeah i think it's yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah all right i really like board to death i really got into that that show not sack of an actress

not ted danson the other guy yeah yeah he was yeah he was the the drummer for phantom planet what a cast right like those Like those three, that was, I really got into that show when it was on HBO. Like I would watch the episodes when they came out and I thought it was just really funny. Anyways. I love, I love Zach Galifianakis. The national treasure. The only good quote from Coob

outside of Defying Gravity was when he was like, hey, someone told me that Troy smokes drugs. Oh, wait, we missed the other really, really good Troy line when he comes up and he's like, hey, not going to name any names, but whoever stole my CBD gummies, I want those back because I can't

sleep without them. I'm not going to say anything, but I think we all know who it is. The kid is like passed out at the table because the kitchen oh my i laughed that was there were i had a few like actual you know lol moments it just it was like like i said it was just such a like okay i think this is good and then i was like god jesus i don't know this seems kind of weird and then it was like oh this is kind of funny and then it's like this got a little weird i definitely had some lols i i when he when he was talking to glenn and he goes everything's a goddamn musical here i fucking lost it dude i was laughing so hard that and then the other one was

like during the play um so the the original play they do at the end is an homage to Joan, who's in a coma. It's called Joan Still. It goes through her whole life, right? It goes from the Women Can't Read song when she's immigrating to America with her father, which Heath opened the podcast with, a great rendition. And then it was her working at the mailroom in the stock exchange. Then her running the stock exchange, essentially, doing a bunch of cocaine. And so right before they get to the drug scene where they're all getting sniffed up by the nose, it cuts to one of the kids who, cause, cause the Glenn ends up playing his mom, the older version of Joan.

So the stage direction falls onto one of the other kids, right? One of the kids takes over. And so before they get to that, the drug scene, it cuts to the kid who's doing the stage managing and he goes, or she goes like all serious. She's got the headset on, zooms in on her face she goes and cue cocaine that's that's another t-shirt right there

the kids being the line i mean that is a good t-shirt actually it's but the kids being the line getting sucked into the nose it was just except for the except for the last two because joan saves them yeah oh my god that's yeah i don't know and that that the the everything's a goddamn musical and the the q cocaine line those i've got legitimate like sustained laughs for me because the way that kid delivers that line was beautiful and q cocaine oh my god it i don't know brandon it's i don't know i don't know i still actually don't know how i feel about this movie maybe i'm still processing i enjoyed it as much as i hate musicals granted this is not

yeah god don't but still everything everything musicals everything about this says i shouldn't have enjoyed it but i did but i did i did it's the only saving grace is the real bro of simi valley like that guy had me going jimmy's jimmy's the fucking best he's hilarious you probably think that you are better now better now if you got you gotta watch real bros um it's so fucking good i just i quote that thing so often and nobody ever knows what i'm quoting and i i even i have uh i got a bunch of stickers when i worked at when i worked at mailchimp i would i would constantly quote it i even uh and people know there was one guy who i like turned on to the tv show yeah and so he got it whenever i was making the the references but no everybody

else was right over their head um and i even had um we used slack um and i made a bunch of uh like the are they still called emojis yeah yeah you just home they're just homemade emojis yeah but i've made a bunch that were like uh semi-valley related like there's uh they they use the phrase uh steez all the time like that that's so steez bro it's like it's cool as shit okay so that's like that's what i would say all the time at mailchimp and then i made an emoji so so steez i made stickers too i put it on my laptop i have it on my my current laptop too okay nice you have real bros of homemade real bros of simi valley stickers well i didn't hope i ordered them from a place you can do custom series i didn't i don't even know how to make a homemade sticker well i didn't i ordered them from a place you can do custom series i didn't i don't

even know how to make a homemade sticker well i mean you went in and customized custom things yeah yeah but it's uh yeah yeah you you need to watch it that way when i reference it i i you know it's not just a one-man joke that i'm making to myself you're not somebody else you're not on a one-way ticket on a westbound train dude isn't that that's that's a country country western song i got a one-way ticket on a something about a train anyways so steez bro so steez so steez that's just anyways that the number one highlight of this whole movie for me will forever be when he crashed the the tryout and he's just sitting there dying and sleeping in the

background and then finally the kid starts singing post alone and it's he undertakers up and starts dancing he gets the best he gets up and he doesn't say like oh or something like that yeah finally oh yeah finally finally well let's get this going dude yeah oh my god and the fact that like everyone's just sitting there and he just doesn't even give a he's just dancing to the him dancing to the kids audition song was just that's just like a next level of comedy that i love i hope i hope that that was completely improvised too where he's just like oh yeah because he was like trying to do like the tick tock dances i feel like and it just was like sloppy tick tock dances yeah yeah it was like yeah it was like if your dad tried to do a tick tock dance oh man anyways yeah solid movie though so imdb gave it uh or seven out of ten right seven out of ten for the consistence from imdb what do

you think uh pull up uh raw tomatoes here i'm sure it was fairly rotten oh um the critics score 86 percent and then audience audience score 79 percent oh wait hold on time out time out sorry we added we didn't talk about the dinner that he put on for the rotary club sorry sorry i'm so sorry i'm so sorry i forgot about that right we have another one liner in there do you know what i'm talking about where the dude the guy is like where the guy had war flashbacks from the dinner well because so so so this is when he's trying to like come up with ideas to raise extra money so he doesn't so it doesn't get foreclosed. And one of his ideas is he rents out one of the cabins to a rotary club for a fancy dinner.

So he has the lunch lady make the food, and then he has the kids serve them, be the waiters. And so he tells the kids it's an immersive theater experience, right? Improv, yes and. Whatever they order improv yes and whatever they order yes and it was we're doing and the kids as theater kids do they take it to the next level yeah you know so they he did not give it good enough parameters yeah she's like okay uh one of the kids is like okay can i build like uh like they all they build like a backstory for all their characters right i know what line you're about to hit go ahead. Keep going I now know well, I hear it

So she and one of the one of the tiny little kids tiny little girls is walking up with like rolls She goes up to the guy. I think it's the guy who has the war flashbacks. Yeah, it's the main guy. It's the main guy What the fuck are we getting into and she essentially goes may offer i offer you a role or the story of how i tragically lost my daughter it's uh or the chilling tale of how i lost my daughter she really did with how i lost my daughter the guy is like i want to leave but we can't like they were trapped there and then when he's like telling he's like i think forty dollars tops yeah he's like yelling at he's yelling at troy at the end he's like what the was this dude it's like we didn't you you're giving everybody war flashbacks you know i think i i mean honestly

him offering forty dollars was you know more than more than generous and when he had the kids serving alcohol i don't think that's legal so 40 dollars would not have covered the food and alcohol so that was a net loss brandon i think it's safe to say well i'm saying i'm saying the fact that he offered forty dollars instead of nothing nice well that's true they should have stormed out halfway through this but uh yeah i don't know i'm not too i'm not too worried good though that was really really good that was a good one i'm not too worried about the um the kids serving alcohol i don't know if that's technically who's who's to say what's illegal yeah that's uh anyways but um yeah so uh great scores from rotten tomatoes and imdb um you're just theater kids rating it though that's why skewed the score it should probably be more

at like 50 i feel not good not bad but not shouldn't shouldn't be above that threshold it did um it didn't make money cost just over 4 million to to produce um well I mean I can imagine it was cheap to produce it only took what 19 hours is it 19 days not 19 days if they did this 19 19 hours dude impressive 19 days 19 days is insanely impressive by itself 19 hours would be a miracle um but it made uh it made 4.4 million so made its money back and then some but yeah real that's a real that's cheap as hell compared to you know look at fast and furious costs like a billion dollars to make yeah yeah gotta pay for family though heath well that's because they grab like actors that they have to pay it in like an insane amount of money just uh well then they're and they're cgi and cars on top of submarines and yeah oh my god

they're crashing planes with cars i don't know going to space in a car i'm looking at the the trailer for theater camp right now and it's showing the scene uh where he's um talking to the whole camp up front he's got the the fanny pack over the shoulder dude such a look we we need to start doing that we need to make that our thing is the fanny pack over the shoulder yeah i gotta get it i gotta get a fanny pack you can call us the fanny pack boys that's i don't know if that's like a desirable nickname for a couple weird looking individuals such as ourselves i mean it's better it's better than the cake eaters that's i mean that's true i guess better than the cake eaters that's i mean

that's true i guess that's i asked you know it's not you know what i just you know what i just found out what about the term the cake eaters somebody somebody um commented on a tiktok and they were like um they made it sound way more dramatic than it was they were like you really shouldn't like do you know what your name means it's very offensive and it's like they made it sound like like we named ourselves a slur and I was like oh did we so I like look I looked into it it's not a slur um it's well so it's the the the main meaning from the movies right yeah is an affluent person you know somebody rich boys go fuck yourself yeah mainly used for for people in adina uh to describe people who can have their

cake and eat it too yeah um but it's also i i know i learned it's a slang term for people that are committing adultery they're having their cake and they're eating it too oh nice okay i mean hey sorry cal and that was that was the only other thing that i could like think that they meant was that it was like about you know adultery um they were they were far they were far too dramatic about did you put it in i are um what's the what's the urban dictionary i put it in everything yeah yeah i looked oh you put it in urban dictionary um what's the what's the urban dictionary i put it in everything yeah yeah i looked oh you put it in urban dictionary yeah the way the servers yeah because the way the way that the comment was like phrased i was like oh like is this like i thought it meant like eating

butthole or something like that no i don't know that that's perfectly i would have been i would have been stoked if that's what it meant yeah would have sold a ton of merch dude yeah because now now we're just now we're just accurately describing ourselves you know it's i mean yeah that that person making it seem like it's a bad thing number one you know good luck to us well i mean i mean yeah you shouldn't you shouldn't cheat on uh on your spouse but i mean i i was i like the way they phrased it i legit was like oh shit are we like is this like a a terrible terrible fucking phrase yeah but nope just uh just adultery that was the only thing i could find yeah well

that person probably dates on christian mingle and just doesn't like the thought of uh an adulterous probably it is against uh it's one of the commandments right yeah thou shall not bang your neighbor's wife yeah eating their ass is fine though that's that's not against the bible yeah dude nothing wrong with some cake eating if there's if there's one thing i know about the bible it's pro-ass eating yeah dude brandon that's i think that we just like take it it's like hey we're a couple cake eaters just eating cake i've done it before it's not that bad god damn it brandon all right so this is starting to unravel a bit i think the wheels are falling off the bus so let's do some cakey ratings on this

we ever done those yeah yeah we gotta do that and then we gotta wrap it up that's what i was getting at with uh the the reviews and everything before you started talking about eating ass you did all right you go first what's your rating i'm gonna give it i i didn't like it i'm gonna be like it made me laugh a few times but i just did not like the movie i would will never watch it again i will never recommend it to anyone so i'll probably give it uh a one and a half i didn't like it one and a half i didn't like it brandon like i didn't like it it was just it had like the the half is that's is that too low for me i don't know i didn't like it you gave you gave mvp the one with the fucking monkey you gave that a 1.98

all right so i'll give this one a 1.9 then i'll let you it's a 1.9 because i liked most valuable primate just a little bit more than this okay although i do i do like uh the amos the guy that plays amos his character in pitch perfect when he sings the ios, the guy that plays Amos, his character in Pitch Perfect when he sings the I've got the magic in me when he's the magic man. That was really good

stuff. I really liked him in Pitch Perfect. His name is Ben Platt, I believe. Yeah, that's what I said. Didn't I say that? No, you said the guy who plays Amos. Oh, well, I think his name's i knew his name is ben okay yeah ben platt um yeah but he's i like him in pitch perfect when he does that he's great pitch perfect yeah he's real good in this oh that was one more one-liner that he has um because uh rebecca uh rebecca diane is like she gets a job uh performing on a cruise

while the summer camp's going on So she's like sneaking and she doesn't tell anybody So she's like sneaking away and disappearing Yeah And then Amos finds out and they have like this confrontation In front of all the kids and he goes He's like yelling at her and he's like How could you do this to me

How could you you know How could you not tell me How could you do this to me how could you you know how could you not tell me how could you how could you make how could you do this to me and she goes well that's the thing this has nothing to do with you and he goes exactly how could you do something that has nothing to do with me and she's like she's like do you hear yourself let's let that let that seat sit for a minute let that you know hold on what does minute. But you know. Hold on. What does she what does she say? Because she's it's really good.

Let that let that statement just sit in the space. Her she Kelly's home, so I don't want her to hear me, but she did give a lot of Kelly. She does. Kelly was like a theater kid. Yeah, she does give a lot of kelly lives kelly was like a theater kid yeah she does give kelly loves for sure it's like when they were when she was doing seances to speak to the moms oh that was that i forgot that was insane that was insane um and just like yeah like how he tries to

yeah she was she was off the rails with some of that stuff. But that definitely gave me kick. I love it. I forgot about her seances. The first seance was weird. The second one where Jimmy, like, forces her to do a seance is crazy. That was good. And then there's a text overlay at the end where it's, like, telling what everybody kind of got up to or whatever.

It's talking about her time at the cruise. It was like she was performing for the cruise for whatever, then she ended up getting fired because uh she lit a candle that started a fire while she was doing a seance oh my god that's right that's right that's right okay 1.9 not not as good as the the monkey hockey movie, Heath. Yeah. Yeah. It's most valuable primate. What was the monkey's name? Jack. Jack's story and his friendship and growth with that sweet deaf girl spoke to my heart a little bit more than this one. Yeah.

Yeah. Top shelf cheddar, baby. Put the biscuit in the basket. put the biscuit in the basket put the banana in the basket yeah same thing what's what's your score so i enjoyed this like i said i thought it was i thought it was uh serviceable it was

uh it was easy to get through it moved pretty quick and the one there's so many great so many great one liners so i gave this a uh a 3.25. 3.25? Oh, my God. Brandon, that's shocking.

That's like one of your highest rated movies. No, it's not. I mean, it's higher than you put like goofy move like good movies you you've got goofy goofy is a three a 3.3 okay so no no good no good i'm sorry goofy is a 3.8 i didn't think this movie would get above the twos for you i can't believe it 3.25 i'm shocked 3.25 which is it's uh better than it's better than mvp it's way better than pacifier uh it's it runs circles around good burger too oh well good burger too was a steaming pile of horse shit like that was the worst thing i've ever fucking seen in my life home alone was home alone turbulence rollerball skulls um goofy and the original good burger i

rated higher those are all three three and above but um i enjoy i enjoyed this i thought it was i thought the one-liners were pretty good i might just be a sucker for for fucking jimmy jimmy tatra because that dude that was one million percent like you had biases all over the place in this movie with that guy like because his i mean that was and that's why his performance was this from zero to 1.9 that was his performance that was the that's That's the only saving grace For me I enjoyed it though I thought it was good 3.25 Rubber stamp it

You heard it here first Alright Well Brandon I finally think that you are better now Better now I'm never going to get that song out of my head, dude. Keep going. What are you saying?
