Josh Peck, the actor who plays loveable goof Josh Nichols on Drake & Josh, shows some great acting skills in this episode. While first Drake is tricking other people and his brother to benefit himself by hustling people out of their money, later Josh turns the tables (pun intended) on drake and pulls a really convincing act of cockiness to teach drake a valuable lesson about tricking people.
The brothers go into a more serious bar with some tough looking biker guys and they stick out like a sore thumb. The way Josh acts with such confidence and cockiness scares Drake because he doesn't want to get into any trouble with these unknown strangers. Unbeknownst to the audience, and to drake, josh had staged a game with some people he knew where they would hustle the clubbers, and it would be so blatantly obvious, that the clubbers would take retaliation out on them with physical violence.
When the bikers that they hustled take drake up by the shirt and threaten to beat him up, he cracks down and confesses that he was wrong to hustle people and it is revealed to him and the audience that it was all a set up to teach him a lesson, that screwing over the wrong person can end badly for you.
If you've never seen the episode before it really does trick you into thinking that josh has gotten cocky and really is trying to hustle these guys out of their money.
The rest of the episode is really just a regular goofy episode but this moment shines as how this show can have something more to it.
