Mack. If I were to ask you for a mount Rushmore before, are you going any further? You're probably wondering, Wait a second, good, what is a mount Rushmore? Yeah? What exactly is that? Big rock? Four faces? Gotcha? Gotcha? Gotcha? Of characters from the hit sitcom Friends, Yes, Friends, the same friends that we are doing trivia four at Idle Hands Craft Ae's eight and nine Commercial Street in Malden, Massachusetts. Tomorrow Today's Guesday, So tomorrow this Wednesday, seven pm. Way,

this is the longest question of all time. What it means? We are thirty seconds into this question. Yeah, yeah, a mount Rushmore, four faces on a rock of friends characters? Can you do it? I can come up with three goo, It's a toss up for the fourth so easily to me. Ross and Rachel are there. Like is annoying as Ross can be. It's purposeful and as you've spoken about many a times in the later seasons, he's by far the funniest character because of the zaniness after his breakdown

of his second marriage falling apart. That's when he just goes off the rails and he is great, And then of course Rachel has to be there. Jennifer Andison could argue the hottest person on the planet thirty years running. Now, whether it be her nipples, her hair, whatever it is, she's got to be on the list whatever you want to, whether it be nipples, and Plus the core of the show is Ross and Rachel, so that

makes sense. And then go, I think, at least for our podcast, a very obvious face on this rock wall four faces is Paul rudds. Mike Hannigan. Yeah, comes in in season eight or nine, might have been seven, but don't quote me. Okay, all right, maybe that'll be a trivia question. Hm. Also, Mike might be a part of one of the funniest episodes where him and Ross have to hang out and they don't see eye to eye. And then you the fourth one. It's such

a toss up for me. There's a lot of good one offs or characters are there for two three episodes. I gave it to Marcel the Monkey, the real MVP of season one. Now, if I were to ask you how many monkeys played, Marcel, would you have an answer for me? You great question. Glad you had to fall up there. Here's some Marcel facts for you guys sitting at home there in the eight episodes that Marcell appeared on Friends. The monkey was played by two different female monkeys. Goo,

how about that a little gender bending monkey there. The two monkeys were named Katie and Monkey. The second monkey was named Monkey. Unfortunately, Monkey passed away, but Katie continued to work and she appeared on such shows as The Loop and thirty Rock And asked me for my mom Yeah, the critically acclaimed hit show Friends that ran from the nineties until two thousand and one, or

to the four four Yeah, all right, there you go. If you had the name four characters from that show that you had to car faces into a mountain on, who would you name? Now? I'm glad that you asked me, because you know, this does tie into the fact that we are doing Friends trivia and doing trivia this Yeah, craft Aale's eight and nine Commercial Street in Malden, Massachusetts, seven o'clock. Yeah, Wednesday night, which will be tomorrow if you're listening on Goos Day, or tonight if you're

listening on Wednesday. So I actually accidentally wrote down six names, having forgotten what amount Rushmore is and more thinking about how there's six main characters in the Frances. This saves us from a Goose Juicy six pack. It does. But I will also say there are three obvious ones. There is Ross, there is Rachel, and there's Mike Hanigan. And then for my fourth I'm

going off the board. There are three episodes I believe in season three it might be season two where Joey moves out of the apartment from Chandler and Joey needs or Chandler needs a new roommate and the guy that moves in is played by Evan Goldberg and his name is Eddie Minook. He is electric. That's right. I forgot about Eddie. That's a good one. Eddie is a phenomenal character. He at one point says that he has a pet goldfish and

it's just a goldfish cracker. He laughs like this, And to get rid of them, what they do is Joey moves back in and Eddie shows back up and they say, you don't live here. Just classic nineties hijinks right there, and that that resolved the issue. That was the end of that chapter. Eddie never showed up again, or did he. I don't know. Yeah, so I guess based on our Mount Rushmore's here. Let let

us knows. As the folks at home who the fourth faces on the Mountain Outside of Ross Rachel and Mike. Oh, I also have a shout out for Frank Bouffet Junior and Roy the Stripper played by Danny. Actually, I considered Giovanni Ribisi for my fourth as well. One go three, Yeah, just three. King of Mill Street Entertainment, I'm go, I'm man. And for the fourth time, we are back for Mount Rushmall sequels never good. Third times not the job, but fourth number four mask the Magic.

Okay, So I'm gonna change this for the podcast title, but YouTube here actually, just on the bottom of the screen, I'll change it for YouTube too. It says Max Zack Mount Rushmore's Dash for Life. I'm gonna change it to Maxack Dash Mount rush fors Oh. I like that. Goo. You know what did it? Hey? Almost a missed opportunity. You caught it though we figured we caught it. I'm glad we didn't figure it out years down the line like we do for most of our problems on the show.

Uh. If you're new to the program, here, uh three times prior we have gone through lists of Mount rushmorees. That's what this episode is. Topic best four things about it. Move on, yep, because these are great for TikTok two minutes subjects. We're gonna get sixteen segments out of this episode. The producer is saying that we need this. It's pretty simple here. Don't overthink it topic. We'll talk about it briefly, maybe extensively.

Who knows. Maybe there'll be some arguments along the way, and we'll give you the four best things from said topic. Correct, and also a Mount Rushmore just to remind you once again, picture four faces that are plastered across a giant mountain. That's what the Sheryl Crow and Kid Rock song is about. Correct. So, Mac, I guess the best way to start this off now, usually Mount Rushmore is are you guys sending us these topics in? But because we did this last second, I just scribbled down fifteen

topics and here we are. Two of them I don't really care for, but the other twelve thirteen excited for here. Okay, hopefully you like this one. Hey, Mac, serve Mychael Caine has announced his retirement from acting. Can you give me a Mount Rushmore of Sir Michael Caine characters? First of all, I'm Michael Kine I'm I think he's like ninety ninety one years old. He's ninety one years old. Yeah, for living a life go we have to off the top air that would totally agree on. Not to

spoil your Mount Rushmore. But I think Scrooge from the Muppets Christmas Carol is a very easy entry into the list here that came out ninety two. I believe five. I think it's ninety two. I think you're right. I just ignore me and then, of course, and I don't want to. You know, Ebenezer Scrooge played by Michael Kain, who we now know always is a good guy. It's it's when you go back and watch that, it's kind of awesome to see him as like an old, cheap cunt.

But not only that, it's him acting off the Muppets and he's phenomenal. He's the only person. I think there might be more people, I don't care, but it's mostly him and Muppets and he is fantastic in that. And now for nothing, he did have an acting career the thirty years prior to this. Yeah, but I don't think I've ever seen an early Michael Kain movie. This is probably the earliest Michael Kain movie I've seen so credit to Michael kan on this one. I think goot as much as I am

not the largest Nolan Dark Knight trilogy fan. Michael Kaine is such a good Alfred Pennyworth. He's so good in the role of sort of uncle father where he's trying to mold Bruce Wayne, but he's sort of letting him do his thing, but every once in a while he's got to check him and be real with him. He's absolutely perfect in that role. Now, I think we can agree that he's not great because he's barely in rises. Do you

like him better and Begins or in The Dark Knight? I like The Dark Knight because there's a little bit of a rift in their relationship as well. Whereas Begins, he's just sort of happy to have him back, and Begins he's almost just giving him like inspirational quotes, and he does do a bit of that in the second one, but he also gives more into his backstory.

Yeah, and then the second one he's like, I'm not so sure he should be doing this this whole thing, And then I'll to the third movie, but Goose, you can't forget the closing image of Dark Knight Rises Michael Kaine going for a little brunch in France, presumably, and what does you see Batman and Catwoman or it's all in his imagination or its inception. Also, there is an old urban legend, and maybe I just made this up in my head, but there is a cut of the Dark Knight Rises

at Bruce's funeral where Alfred sings Danny Boy. You know what, I'm glad that that didn't make it into the film or it I don't know. We agree on those two, yes, And then let me give you two here that I think are probably different than your two. I've never seen the movie, but I've got to give it credit. He plays a character named Hogi in Jaws of the Revenge. I have to see it because that's the fourth

Jaws movie. This is the fourth one of these, so why. And then an actual good role go. He plays Jasper, a drug dealer sort of character in Children of Men, the Clive Owen movie. I don't think you've seen this movie. Ye, really good movie. He's great in this role, a very non Michael Kaine type of role as well. So I do love Jaws the Revenge, but I'm not gonna insult the man by bringing

up his worst movie. He's retiring Mac little Love. The Internet told me he out acted everyone in that movie though, oh he absolutely did, besides the shark, which does roar in the movie, of course, when it gets stabbed, it roars. I also like him as Arthur Tresler. And Now you See Me. Okay, all right, I'll tell you what. I never pegged you as a Now you See Me fan. This is at least the third time you've brought the movie up on the first time You See

Me is good. The first night you see Me as a fun old time it is. It's a dandy of a time. And then also credit to me, I forgot to put a fourth one down here. So what I'm gonna do is I just saw a YouTube clip or a TikTok clip or reel of him on some British talk show talking about how when he was in the film Pilippines one time someone thought that he was a drug dealer and they said, oh, aren't you Mike Cocaine. So that's my fourth favorite role.

Okay, all right, you didn't want to do Nigel Powers there, Nigel Powers, Finn mcmissal, the guy from cider House Rules the Alfie Yeah, so he doesn't care. So we never saw any of his actual great movies, apparently because if you look up like Alfie and Hannah and her sisters, Yeah, the man who would be Yeah, up until Josh Ford seems like he was in a lot of good movies. We've just educating Rita. Yeah, sure, why not? So you know, hey, credit there,

great acting career. I liked you and Kingsman as well. Yes, also actually very good in Kingsman. All right, Mac, Now let's go on to a topic that Yeah, a director that we speak of often and we kinda throw shade upon I'll tell you goo mm hm. I uh well, he throws shade upon himself. He brings it upon him himself, he does. But he's one of the greatest directors of all time. This exercise made me realize, I don't think I really like Scorsese a ton. I like them. I like him, I like him, I like him. I

like him. Though we've already said on the podcast that maybe the best movie of all time is his movie. I agree, And then after that, I'm not so sure I love any of his movies. All right, Max, So picture this a Giant Rock four Gentlemen upon it. People sometimes say like this is the best of can you give me the mount rushmore of Martin Scorsese flicks? Sorry, okay films, sorry cinema movies. We can agree

on good Fellows. We also made the greatest movie of all time. So that's there, and then from there Goo, I really really like Casino. I would have it in my four. I don't know if I love that movie. I do love Sharon Stone in that movie. And then I have a really hard time adding movies to this top four. I guess Wolf of Wall Street. I'm sort of a Wolf of Wall Street apologist. I loved that movie the first time I start. I totally understand the critiques and why

people don't care for that movie. I still think it's a it's a great time, it's a great watch. It's it's a fun movie, especially for what is it two hours and forty minutes. Also, March Bob, so you get that. That was that intro to Marge Bob. Yeah, so good. And then oh and Christine Maliatti, Christine Miliati, Yeah, I would put Taxi Driver forth. I think because of his classic movies, it's the one I like most. But last movie A question though, and this

just popped into my mind. Obviously it's a great movie. Is it thought of more for Scorsese or for the performance that Robert de Niro gives? For sure? And more de Niro over SCORSESEI I would, I would say, and like because the other cla I haven't seen Raging Bull. Maybe if I check be on the list, So maybe that that's an oversight for me. But then you talk about like his other classic works, and I don't really love any of them. So that's my four Goodfellas, Casino, Wolf of

Wall Street, Taxi Driver, Goodfellas, Taxi Driver, Raging Bull. And then I know you don't like it. I know that we kind of poo poo the ending of it because it's stupid, and we get it, there's a rat. But The Departed is a good movie. The Departed has so many things that are fucking stupid in it, a lot of really dumb things. You know. I was on the Boxers podcast, I don't know, six years ago to give you all the things I hated about the Hooksters podcast.

But Batman begins, I could do it about The Departed too. I could give you forty minutes and all the stupid shit in that movie. I'm sure there's a YouTube breakdown out there somewhere. I do not like that movie. Shout out to the King of Comedy bringing Out the Dead. I actually really like that. To Scorsese, Nicholas Cage, he drives an ambulance, he's, you know, deprived of sleep. That's a very good movie.

Gangs of New York, and I also do like Casino Gangs of New York a bit like Taxi Driver, where I don't know if it's the best movie, but you definitely remember it for a singular performance. Obviously, Daniel day lewis as rely the Butcher, and that is pretty incredible. Billy is his name? Billy? Did I just add Billy might just be the Butcher. We also recently spoke about, and this is during our award winning Canceled Movies

Part six podcast. Yeah, we're like, who do you take? Because there's a bunch of canceled Sylvester Stallone movies, canceled Arnold Schwarzenegger movies, and we were kind of between, We're like, Oh, I like the actor more here, but the personality here, And so I ask you, Mac, can you give me a mount rushmore of Sylvester Stallone characters, and then I will follow that up after we both do this with Arnold Schwarzenegger characters.

So obviously Rocky's on there. Yeah, I don't need to argue about Rocky. I'm lower on the Rocky movies than most, but that's on the list. I think his singular best performance is as John Rambo in First Blood. I think that's his best performance ever. It's one of my favorite movies ever. That's on my list Rambo, and then from there you can kind of get a little fun with it. John Spartan from Demel I love that one. I love that character. Yeah, so we can agree on that.

That's in the four and then the fourth one, I feel like you gotta add like a stupid one in there. So I went for either King Shark or stakar osgard O gord Any of the James Gun roles. He's actually pretty good in UH Guardians two as stakara O Gordon. So I did Rocky Balboa, Rambo, Gabe Walker from Cliffhanger, and then also John Spartan from Demolition Man. I also haven't seen Copland, and I heard he's very good in that so I've heard that as wellst and then honorable you mentioned King Shark,

and then also Judge Dredd. Yes, true, you could throw dread in there. So now we go to Arnold Swarzenegger, the person that I sided with. I might be on the right side of history with this one, because when you ask me for the best Arnie characters, the four best, I think you can run down a list of like ten that are pretty goddamn good. I think this exercise makes it clear Arnie greater and stallone. However, I still think John Ramble is the best out of any of these characters.

Ben Richards from The Running Man T eight Hunter from T two, Detective John Kimball from Kindergarten KRP might be my favorite kindergarten cop. Sorry, not the fish Karp but not like a magic carp. No, and then Agent Harry Tasker from True Lies. Yeah, I agree on three of those. The T eight hundred, specifically from T two is an awesome, awesome character. Harry Tasker in True Lies another great character, and he's pretty funny in

that movie. Yeah, Detective John Kimball in Kindergarten Cop he's also very funny in that movie. And then go. I'm stunned you didn't include this on yours, mister Freese. I think that we can definitely agree that what puts Arnie over the top not only is he's a great action star, but he can deliver comedy. He can do it. He's a sneaky, good comedic actor. I agree with you. He's funny, he is charming, and

I feel like he doesn't take it all too seriously. You don't see him, you know, waxing poetic about certain things and then also shout out to Predator Commando and of course Howard Langston from Jingle all the Way. Yeah, we probably should have included Dutch from Predator, but what are you gonna do? Hey? I mean I will also say that some of his characters are the same. Uh yeah, that's true. Don't you fucking say that? Hey, Mac, Happy Halloween. By the way, we'll have I have

a spooky topic for next week. I'm not gonna tell you what it is, but it involves a ton of math. I hope you're excited, sick, super excited. Now, Mac, let's say that there's a monument in a park somewhere in South Dakota. I believe so, Yep, Yeah, that has four president's faces on there. They call it the Mount Rushmore if I were to ask you for a Mount Rushmore. By the way, those are definitively the four best Presidents, no questions asked. That's why they put

them on a rock. The four best scream queens from horror movie history? Who do you go with? So obviously Jamie Lee Curtis has to be number one with the bullet It doesn't matter what because not only is it Halloween, not only is it the fog or prom night, Like, she just keeps going back to horror stuff. And then she also pokes fun at horror stuff by doing things like was it called scream Queens on Fox? Yeah, she was in a show called Scream Queens? Yeah, correct, Yeah, boom

yep, roll credits. I think she defines and sort of changed cinema a little bit. You know, you had, like the role her mother played Janet Lee and Psycho. You had these like damsel and distressed scream queens. And then Jamie Lee Curtis comes along in Halloween and a couple of years before the Last House on the Left has a similar character, but a badass female who's like can do both things. She's a scream queen but also can fight back, and that sort of changed horror movies as we know it. So

Jamie Lee Curtis for sure number one with the boy. Then go like a new age Jamie Lee Curtis, I think you could say, is Nev Campbell. I think she does that role just as good as Jamie Lee Curtis, if not better. But Jamie Lee Curtis was first, So give me Nev

Campbell. And then I have to include Sarah Michelle Geller in this. She gets a little bit of a credit for Buffy here, even though we're talking more of movies, but I had to include her here on my list, and I want to include a more new age one because I think there's two really strong candidates. Number one being me, a goth who's been in several successful horror movies over the last couple years. Number two Jenna Ortega for the

same reason. I feel like Ortega is more macabre stuff, though not necessarily so. Obviously she's been in a couple of horror things, but I feel like it's more spooky stuff than straight horror. I mean that's fair enough, but I think she's in the running for like best New Age, So pick either one of those two for my fourth, So my fourth, So first off, my third, I would go with Jennifer Love Hewett just fantastic as

but whatever hell her character name. I mean, I agree, I would take I'm not gonna argue j l H over SMG because I agree with you. I just feel like SMG has been in more scream scream cream worthy roles. Do you say scream cream don't look at my pants? Is that usually what you do? When it happens they hit a certain octave in them. It's like I said, poking fun of yourself. Jennifer love Hewitt, Boy

Meets World Jennifer Love Faffer Men true. And then I would go with for my fourth Heather Langencamp from the Nightmare movies, where she's not just in every nightmare movie, she's only in the good ones. She's in one, three and a New Nightmare. Yeah, she's also very good in that and plays a very similar role to what Jimmie Lee Curtis and of Campbell does, So I can't disagree with you on that. Shout out to Janet Late obviously. The first also showed her Braun, a movie one of the first to ever

do that. Drew Barrymore sneaky and a bunch of yeah horror things. Emma Roberts. Another one that is a modern day more television though more television though if you will TV, I'll come. You know what, we should adopt the Telly the Brits, the Brits. I like that, one of the few brit terms. I like the Telly and nickos. Oh, hold on, I thought we had to hit the B button there. No is it for your underpants? I don't want to broach the subject you. I don't

want to say that word. I emphasized the ck in the middle there, okay, like knickerbockers. Hey, if you're comfortable with it, I'm gonna cut that out of the podcast. Daniel Harris. Yeah, that's a good one too. She had both young and older roles. I accept that. And then another modern day one, Anya Taylor Joy. Yeah, she's been pretty good in multiple movies, so also a good honorable there. Mac Let's kick flip off of that Mount Rushmore for best of Jamie Lee Curtis characters.

Now, we're mostly in agreement here, so I'll give you the three that we think are definitely on there. Laurie Strode from the Halloween franchise, and we talked about Arn't Schwarzenegger in True Lies. I'll tell you what, Jamie Lee Curtis is every bit as good as Arnie and that, if not maybe better as his wife, Ellen Tasker. She's also funny and sexy in that movie, which is very weird to think about Jamie Lee Curtis as sexy because it doesn't happen to me all that often. But she is in this movie.

And then Gou, a movie that is on our short list of best movies from the last five years or decade or this century, everything everywhere else wants. She won Best Supporting Actress, even though I don't think she's the best supporting actress in that movie. Agree, she won that award for Deirdribl Birdre so put that on the list. And then fourth one here. She's been in a lot of good movies, a lot of fun movies. I want to give a shout out to her as both Tess and Anna Coleman from

Freaky Friday. I was between Freaky Friday from my fourth but I lean more towards Linda Drysdale from Knives Out See I haven't seen that. I know that you refuse to. Yeah, that's that's a me thing. Yeah. So also Wanda Gerwitz from a fish called Wanda, Norah Crank from Friar's favorite Christmas movie, Christmas with the Cranks, prom Night Fog, Kathy Munch. Realistically, Wanda should probably be on this list, but that's a Macao list.

Come on. Yeah, So Max, speaking of Halloween, let's forget about our last topic, and that's Happy Halloween. Happy Halloween, trick or treat. I'm sure that you've heard us talk about this in the past. You know, we've had quite the Halloween topics over the years. But yes, we have mentioned costumes. We have mentioned going about trick or treating or going

to costume parties. And let me ask you this, mac either as an adult or a child, can you give me your mount rushmore of Halloween cost mind you, audience, we are both born in nineteen eighty nine, so as a kid, I think I was the Red Power Ranger for like two possibly three Halloweens. That's on there with a slash here. I've been the Green Power Ranger like two or three times in my adult life, so Power

Ranger in general is on the list. The other adult costume because again, I'm never buying another costume in my life, so it's either Green Ranger or this Wilfred. I've been Wilfred probably three or fourteen. I think we need to talk about this more because we've mentioned it a couple times and I don't think we focus on it enough. Is that your ever green Halloween costume is Wilford the Dog from the Wilford television show on FX that ran two seasons.

Maybe it might have got a third. It might have got a third, roughly maybe thirty episodes. It's like wearing a sweatsuit. That's why I like it. It's fucking simple. It's easy. Just toss it on, wear a little T shirt and shorts underneath. Dynamite costume, and then you my favorite one for my college career because you know, Halloween is probably like the

biggest holiday of the college year. I went as a kissing booth once in a cardboard square around me some shoulder straps, free kissing booth that actually worked pretty successfully, so I was a big fan of that. And then the go to as a kid, because you know, I didn't grow up with a ton of money goose, So the real easy thing was to just be myself as a hockey or football player, just wearing my hockey or football equipment. For me, I actually did win an award for addressing like Freddie Mercury

from Live Aid one year. Okay, stunning, it was dazzling. It was pretty good. I won two hundred dollars and a day off from work. Wow, that's a big win. Yeah, it's a huge win. I believe I was Batman roughly six times in my childhood. I think I had a Batman in there as well, but not only I wasn't like I never got a Batman costume. I would just wear my Batman PJS with a mask. No, no mask, just face. I didn't like masks, not for me. And then in high school maybe early colleges. It was

either late high school or early college. Uh. Me and my buddy did Team Rocket. I was Jesse, he was James. Okay, all right, that's pretty good. That was pretty good. And then two photos I have no memory of these ones, but two photos that I see of myself as a child during Halloween. One of them is me as a raccoon. Let's really ties into your story from the summer. That's a nice, nice tie in right there, and then also one year, mind you, I

was a singular person, just by myself. There was no team costume here. I was one of the three Musketeers, So I was gonna ask, there's three Antonelli's siblings. Did you guys go as to three Musketeers? But apparently now and all I can remember is that year my brother actually won at a costume contest dressed as al Borlin. I went in my current facial here, this mustache and this little thingy thing was little Dave Matthews under my lip

here. I've been called d'Artagnan network by a couple folks. I wouldn't know what that means. That's a three Musketeer character. I was just one of the three Musketeers. Hey, Mac, speaking of Halloween, Oh, happy Halloween, Good, happy Halloween. Mac. I know that we've had an award winning candy podcast, one of our first that really put us on the map, Episode forty nine of this show, sixty years ago, if you

will, maybe seven. I don't know how time works, but as of right now, if I were to ask you for a mount rush more for best of candy to receive wild trick or treating, what would it be. Number one with a bullet is full sized candy bars of anything. I don't even care if it's candy bar. I don't like if you handed me a full sized candy bar, that's like you're winning the lottery during Halloween. That was always great. Number twos little packets of Skittles. Love those Skittles is

my favorite candy. So that's an easy one. And then I'm actually I have one on the list here. I'm gonna take that off because I realize you know, I'm a big milk dud fan. Ninety percent of my life's milk dug consumption has been a Halloween night of small little yellow boxes and then occasionally at the movie there, so throw milk duds in there because the only time of the year I'm really eating them. And then for you still don't know what they're called, been around my whole life. You get them in

your grandmother's apartment or Halloween. Those strawberry candies, I don't know what they are. Oh the hard, the hard strawberry candies, yes, which then makes me think of it's like strawberry and cream hard candies. Those are also delicious. Do you ever have those? Are those Withers like, uh, I thought they were like fucking halls when you when you get a cough. But also when I first thought, or you know, when I first saw your list, I was like, does he walk around asking for strawberries?

Excuse me? Can I have those? Well? Your strawberries please? Because you're British, people didn't know that. Yeah, that's my four go to Halloween trick or treats. Like if I open the bag, I'm like, I'm gonna eat these Snickers, peanut m and M's Three Musketeers. Yes, we're going back to that and mister goodbars. I think free Musketeers is the most overrated case. I love it, planet, I love it. If you take me and my costume and then two of those candies, we are

now three Musketeers, like a milky way is way better now now? Yeah? Yes, also shout out Rec's KitKat and Charleston choose. But they gotta go in the freezer first. Okay. Sometimes you got the mini ones though, put them in the freezer. Good not the many ones also sneaky. Put your eminem peanuts in the freezer too. Those are also delicious frozen. It's short of the crispy eminem's, which you can really only find in fucking Times Square. Now, peanut m and ms are my favorite version of the

eminem, especially when frozen max. Speaking of food, Happy Halloween. Can you give me your four best pizza top? Now, this can be a mix of toppings to make a specific kind of pie. Okay, so a style of pie and or I was hesitant on using the word style because then you're like, well Detroit style. Well yeah, so yeah, go ahead an order, I guess for lack of a better term, So for me, all of the pepperoni. You can't put enough pepper Pepperoni's number one.

It's number one. Easily. I get a pepperoni pizza ninety percent of the time. It takes a I gotta have a weird day to order something else. I always get extra pepperoni. And now I see all these tiktoks people send them to me about pizza places that do loads and loads pepperoni, and need that in my life. Number two for me, my second favorite pizza pie is either some places do sausage, some places do meatball, but a sausage and ricotta or a meatball and ricotta pie. I fucking love something about

that. Combination of meat and creamy ricotta just works well. I had forgotten about that. That is going on to my list as well. Some places, I believe Wegmans calls it a lasagna pizza, similar flavor profile. Yes, I also like cooked onions on it too. I don't care for that, but you know what that's I'll eat it if it's on there. The ricata and meat combos good enough for that. Yeah. And then these two are probably two of the more popular ones, but they're popular for a reason.

Buffalo chicken pies ye really really good still for some reason. I even saw a TikTok like two months ago placed more to Deella tohead in Summerville, which is pretty popular spot. They do a red sauce buffalo chicken pizza, which I think is so snop. Just look, go cheese. It's very simple, cheese chicken and then put some blue cheese on the top, or put ranch if you're into ranch. I don't give a shit, but go cheese chicken dressing. Yeah, the bas needs to be either the blue cheese

and ranch, or you can even do the buffalo bas. But don't give me a red sauce base. It's the best version of that pizza and then go with chicken bacon ranch, but a caveat here. I've had some bad chicken bacon ranches. Number One. Often when you get bacon on a pizza, it's not cooked enough, so that's the first down side. Number two, usually not enough ranch. Number three. Some places put chopped Tommy's on

here. I don't want tomatoes anywhere near my pizza pies, so I would take the chicken bacon ranch off there, and for my fourth i'd have the same. Other three by the way, I would either go with a meat lover's but that's something you can only have one slice of. Yeah, it's a lot, it's a lot. And then also you can have more of this, and it's something that you might have to be in the mood for.

But peppers and onions, Yeah, we get Friday nights. The firehouse is usually our pigs a night, and traditionally what we'll get is a pepperoni, a sausage, pepper and onion, and a buffalo chicken to the three. Sometimes we'll switch it up in there, but those are the three staples of our order. And then also shout out. I think my mother is the only person that makes this. It is an artichoke and pesto pizza. How thin are the auto chokes sliced? I mean it's just I think what's

in like the jar? It's the pre jarred artichokes. Okay, all right. It might feel little much for me, but I'm interested. I'm intrigued by it. I'll tell you anything your mother's ever made that I've tried has been good, So I'll try anything she makes. You talk about my mother that way. Speaking of food, Mac, can you give me a four mount rush More best of so top four of salad toppings. So everything I just said about pepperoni, apply it to feta. There's not enough feta on

anything. I'll eat all of the feta. I could just eat a box of feta, especially on a salad. It's my favorite side. I guess we're not counting meat here, by the way, because yeah, if it was counting meat to be chicken steak, pepperoni, lamb my pepperoni salad number two. Cucumbers. You know what my move is, goo is I'll get

a caesar salad add cucumbers. I think it really diversifies the caesar salad, and I prefer the cucumber crunch over the fucking heads of romaine number three croutons, and sometimes, like I just said about the caesar back on the Greek salad with the feta already there, I'll add croutons to the Greek souad. Yeah. Well, if you don't have a peda with it, because you need you need either a pita. If you don't got that, just toss

some croutons in there. Yeah, you gotta break it up. You got to break And there are some places you know that make their own croutons, and that's even better. Pepperich farm cheese and garlic croutons. I can eat those for days. If they want to sponsor us just by giving us bags of croutons that only cost two dollars at the store, I'm fine with that. When I was a kid, when we would eat out at like a fancy restaurant for whatever event, my sister would ask for a side of croutons,

just a bowl of croutons. Yes, yeah, I get that, and then give the fourth one. I had a hard time having one that stood out to me, so I copied your carrots. Who cares parrots like carrot strips? A strip of carrot? I don't want the round carrot. But I will say this, I hate cucumbers. I would swap that out. Yeah, I don't like them. I would swap that out with a cherry tomato or really anything firm. It has to be a firm tomato or

I'm not gonna eat. I like a cherry tomato. But sometimes you go to stab it and it goes flying off in the office direction at one thousand miles an hour. It's a little bit of a dangerous prop there. I will say this as well, is that I just got back from Rome Brag. The tomatoes there are fucking unbelievable. I believe that it's I mean it's tomato capital of the world maybe or tomato region capital that's on the sign when you go in. Yeah, so San Marzano tomatoes like the ones that everyone

wants those that's Italy. And then also speaking of salads once again and putting pepperoni in your salad. Uh. There was a salad that we used to have as a kid. We would call it a New Hampshire salad because we would on have it at my nana's house in New Hampshire where she would take everything in the fridge and just put it into a salad bowl. There were cheeses, peperoni. Yeah, we call it the Hampton Boardwalk Salad. Have you ever heard of this show called jen V Yes, I have, I've

been. I have been enjoying it very very much. Same here also the Boys. That's this it's spun off from the Boys. I don't know if you've heard it or not. Uh, it deserves all the praise now, I'm gonna tell you that right now. So if I were to ask you for a Mount Rushmore for best, you know, because that it's a lot like the rock that is in one of the Dakota right right right of non Marvel and DC superhero movies, could you give me a list? Yeah,

the two obvious entries for me and I think for you as well. And this is probably a double box thumbs up Magoo, forty Dogger, The Incredibles. Yes, probably the best non DC Marvel superhero movie. A close second for me would be kick Ass. I might have that. It's probably like a thirty eight thirty nine dog movie. I love that fucking movie. From there, a bit of a toss up. I think what holds it in

this Mount Rushmore is the church scene. From Kingsmen's just an all time I like the scenes too, but yeah, I just like Eggsy in general. Yeah. The staying power of that scene though, is prominent, so that that makes my list. I might like every character in that movie, even with the stupid list. I like Samuel L. Jackson in that movie too, and fucking knife Legs there at the knife Legs, but she is something else. Could you imagine it quite nice accidentally getting your you know, chopped

off by accident. Hear that? Yeah? And then goo shout out Mary Mary Elizabeth Winstead. She was in Ahsoka. The first time I ever saw Mary Elizabeth Mary Elizabeth Winstead in something was a Disney Channel original superhero movie called sky Hot. Shout out Will Stronghold. Kurt Russell's in this movie, but Mary Elizabeth Winstead plays the villain in this movie. Also, cousin Greg is in this It's a sneaky, a really really good movie. I'll throw that

out there as my fourth. So I would also have The Incredibles, kick Ass and Kingsman. Also shout out Incredibles too, That's another good movie as well. But I would put nineteen nineties teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles also on the list. Yeah, all right, that's fair. I don't if you if you didn't do that, you wouldn't be goose. So that also honorable mentioned shout out first off, Mutant Mayhem. I also really enjoyed it. I've

watched that like four times since it's been on Paramount. I really liked that movie. Okay. Scott Pilgrim also getting an anime release right now. That was a very good sin City. Yeah, the mask men in hell Boy, Unbreakable, another one, Unbreakable. I mean you can also look at like a V for Vendetta a history of violence. History of Violence probably should have been on my list. Great sex scene in that movie. You are obsessed with that sex scene. I love that sexy. I love Maria Bello.

That's really what it comes down to, Okay, Max. Speaking of Marvel, it was recently revealed that getting a fresh Rotten Tomato review is very important to movie runner show runner it's not a show, but you know, franchise runner Kevin Feige since the star of this podcast in twenty fifteen, twenty sixteen, I don't know when we started what Rotten Tomatoes movie. So a movie that was given a rotten score, would you recommend to people give me four, a top four, a mount rushmore if you would. So this

is tough because I only started using letterboxed going back to twenty nineteen. So I went through my list to see some rotten movies that I had ranked pretty high, So apologies to fifteen, sixteen, seventeen eighteen. But there were two that stuck out, So I agree you had two on your list that that I'm going to steal. We can agree here on Renfield from earlier this year, which is barely one of the failing ones. It's fifty eight percent.

Yeah, it's barely barely counts, but you and I borderline loved it. But it's also with the caveat of like look you gotta look like the other way on a couple of the storylines, don't pay attention to half the movie. Nicholas Invercage and Holts are really good together in this movie, which I feel like, when you're talking like rotten movies, you gotta have the reason to watch it. Engauge is good enough for Renfield, and then Goo. Number two that we agree on here is Bullet Train, which came out

last year. Yeah, which is actually a really fun movie. The ending kind of sucks. The ending, well, the ending really how it's rotten? Yeah, blows my mind. It's a there's like four or five great performances in the movie, and it's a blast, really fun movie. I would also have the live action Aladdin movie on here, got fifty seven percent. I think it's the best of the live action Disney I agree, and adds an original song that I think might crack the top ten Disney songs all

time, Speechless. And then I would also put a comedy on here, and one that maybe if I saw it now, I wouldn't find as funny. I don't know, but Mike and Dave need wedding dates. That is at thirty eight percent. Yeah, that's that's a solid one. It's not. I wouldn't call that movie hysterical, but it doesn't deserve a thirty eight percent. Uh. The two that I would throw on here, and this one's cheating because it's at sixty six percent, So Texano, it's not it's

not rotten. It is just a top over popcorn thing, right right. It's that weird little window there. The Lovebirds, which came out in twenty twenty, which obviously is the forgotten year. Of movies. It stars Easter Ray and Camille Nanjiani. Really good rom com. I don't know how it only has sixty six percents. I thought it has one of my favorite lines, one of my funniest lines from that year, where he was talking about the year getting the extra milkshake. Oh, you wouldn't get a past and

they get extra pasta on the side. That's actually a really funny observation. I like that. It's just those two have pretty good on screen chemistry too. I'm just surprised that movie was that low and then go a movie. I've been championing championings ever since. Twenty nineteen's Bright Burn at fifty seven percent, produced a written directed by the three Gun brothers James Seawan and I forget the third one. Essentially, the premise is what happens if a young superman

landed on planet Earth and didn't end up being that good. Yeah, so's. There's a lot of fun scenes in that movie, and it also stars Elizabeth Banks as his mother and Roy from the Office as his father. Also shout out, these two movies are actually not rotten. They are fresh tomatoes. I think they're in the eighties as well. But no one saw them. And that is Brigsby Bear starring what's his name Kyle Mooney. That's from

like twenty nineteen maybe, but it's actually really good. It is a kid who is kept underground his entire life, and he watches a show that isn't real. It's something that his father produces, puts on tape just to make him think that he's watching something live, but in fact it is just his father in a giant bear costume. And then he breaks out and he realizes that's not real, and it's a whole It's awesome. I love that movie.

And then also Ingrid Goes West with Aubrey Plaza. There was a movie now the name Escapes Me either came out last year or the year prior, where Aubrey Plaza plays like a con man. She's really good in that one too. I forget what that's called, but check that one out. Although I think that has like eighty percent Ingrid Goes West. She is a social media stalker and she is following Elizabeth Olson. You're the only human being I've I have ever heard talk about Ingrid ghos West. I don't know how.

I haven't watched it yet. Mac SNL just kicked off it's forty ninth season. Ever heard of it. This is the one category that I didn't make a list for because I'm all set with this one. Give you all right, hey, let me go ahead and give you a mount rushmore of the most prolific cast member of all time, Chris Catan his top four SNL characters. Mango is an easy one bunch of reoccurring sketches here, such as Mango mister Peepers. This is where he plays a half ape, half human where

he just spits up an apple. Todd the Goth Kid. There's a great one where he gets a Mickey Mouse phone when he's still not goth yet, Santa thanks for the neat phone, and then it cuts to him as a goth kid and Molly Shannon's like, what the And then finally Doug who was not known as Doug Buttabi on the show, but then given that name for the movie. But it is the Night at the Roxbury Guy. Honorable mention to Gay Hitler. Good shot everybody, by the way, strong start for

SNL. Best SNL episode in a long time this past week. Yeah, I didn't think it was that great, really, You just got a Pete Davidson guy, that's what it is, that might be what it is, that might be spend what it is? Hey, Mac, This next question I didn't even have an answer for, but I'll just read it out loud because I put it on here. This is insane. By the way, what's going on in movie theaters right now? Taylor Swift's Eras Tour made almost

one hundred million dollars at the box office and its opening weekend. Is there a band or artist that you would sit through a full three hour concert movie four None, no, no one, no one. Nope, I'll stay at home, watch the YouTube video, or I'll have seen the concert. There's not one artist on this planet that I think is worthy of getting what's

going on here in theaters with Taylor Swift and the Aras Tour. There's actually been a great point on TikTok because there's a ton of TikTok videos of people putting up the crowds from these screenings very midsomar like, yeah, it is spinning in circles and people wearing white. It is listen. This is this is not a Taylor Swift criticism, but I guess ipso facto it is her fans doing this type of stuff is why people hate Taylor Swift. It's cult

like, It's just it's insane. And to your point that we both just made, there's not one person, artist or anything on the planet that would drive me to this level of fandom. Like I could see myself if they put Nirvana's Unplugged in theaters for like a one night thing with like the proper speakers and stuff, because it's what fifty five minutes listen. I would love to hear like a fire, see like a fire on the big screen.

I'm not getting up and fucking dancing around in circles holding hands with people. You shit me like I enjoy that live concert that like led Zeppelin put out that one time, but it was an hour long. I can watch an hour of those and again, more power to Taylor Shift. She's making money and people are going to see it. But it's also Catch twenty two. This is why people hate you, Max. Speaking of music and speaking of

I just went on a trip. I was on an airplane. I was able to watch The Little Mermaid on the plane and I skipped through all of the music in the movie. Can you give Me a mount rushmore best four of Disney songs from movies. So my number one with a bullet is a Whole New World from Aladdin. I think it's the single best Disney song, and I think it's actually a little bit underrated when you talk about Disney songs because Lion King shines so bright with so many standouts. And speaking of Lion

King, pick your favorite one from there. It's probably a circle of Life for me, but you have circle of Life be prepared. Akuna Matata or probably the top three, so pick one of those to represent the Lion King and then go. I feel like you gotta put a Mawana song on here. Milwana is the modern day equivalent to these younger ones. So how Far I'll Go or You're Welcome? I think when were they sales? And this

guy yeats me, no one knows I love Maana. Yes, I do find myself singing You're welcome maybe more often, but it's not it's not like a great song compared to the other one. It's ketcher. It's definitely ketcher. How Far I'll Go we'll put that on there, and then the fourth one. I'm just gonna run through some songs here I have a hard time picking the fourth one part of your Okay, from a Little Mermaid, it's

a great one. Undud that's the another good one. Pocahonta never gets talked about enough when you talk about these types of things, but Colors of the Wind Dynamite song just around the River Bend is a great one. And then then I mentioned earlier the live action Aladdin introduced the song Speechless, which I think is the best moment of the movie, and she also sung it live on set, which is fucking crazy. Naomi Scott shout out her. And

then a couple other ones. You'll Be in My Heart from Tarzan and Surface Pressure from Encanto by far the best song from that movie, I think, really the only good one the Bruno song I fucking hate. I don't know what I would pick for fourth gu Maybe Colors of the Wind, Pocahontas I'd lean for my number four. I think my number one with a bullet is Eye to Eye from power Line in a goofy movie. Okay, alright, listen to the actually look. I was at a wedding the other night and

the groom and the bride came out and danced to that. Did the Perfect Reel. Really. Yeah, that's a cool wedding. That's cool couple. Yeah that was their intro. I like that. Yeah, I liked it too. And then Beeper aired The Lion King. Do you know that the Jeremy Irons does not sing that song? Oh yeah, I assumed he didn't. Do you know who does sing it? I don't Jim Cummings, the voice of Winnie the Pooh. Wow, that is quite the range for Jim

Cummings. Now keep this in mind. I might have just made that up. Okay, that's a nice fun fact that you just made up. Gaston from Beauty and the Beast. No one chokes on a belt like Gaston because you have that really thick next, so we can you can rip the belt, you know. Be our guest is pretty good too. Beating the Beast has a lot of high, high floor, low ceiling songs. Be a little off the beaten path, but I love the rat Rattigan song from A

Great Mouse Detective, The Great Mouse Detective. Okay, all right, Vincent Price, So thank you for that. Yeah, and then you cover the other ones that I did as well. Wow, we only have one more left? Wow? How about that? I can't believe we made it this far. Mac I have been a act bye targeted ads or targeted by the fake news media pretty much by targeted posts in reels on Instagram recently or on TikTok of these old commercials for compilation albums from the nineties that you would see

at roughly three am. Yes, yeah, can you give me a mount rushmore of weird commercials that you would wake up to either late nineties or through the two thousands. So I specifically remember one with like eighty soft rock with like Journey Ario Speedwagon. I remember one album being sold that I don't remember what year that was, maybe two thousand whatever. That one sticks out to me for like late night CDs. Yeah, And then of course there was

always The Girls Gone Wild's one. Sometimes you might stay up a little late for that if you you know, and then you realize there's nothing great in those those acts. It's good enough when you're twelve years old. And then one that I still quote to this day and some people get some don't set it and forget it, the Ronco Retisserie Oven sticks out so vividly to me of just being on a I think it was like a fifteen minute ad that would be on a loop for an hour, so you'd see it like four

times in a row at four in the morning. So I remember the sex hotlines that we would see constantly. Yeah, true psychics call me now, not just her, not just Miss Cleo, but a bunch of psychics. Well, it started with Miss Cleo and then from there it went off. And then the two compilation albums that I cannot get out of my head is Pure Moods. This is from nineteen ninety four. It had Enya, it had the Hey No, you know that song. I know exactly what you're

talking about, the X Files theme, Tubular Bells from The Exorcist. You know, it's really set in the mood. He's set in the spooky mood. And then Ultimate the Ultimate dance Party, you know, pump the jams. It's a beautiful life. Ah. And then want to Be My Lover. Yeah, love that shout out Spice Girls. Well, I think I think it's just the Melsey version, but I might be wrong. And also Ultimate Love Songs, Kenny g all over that one. This doesn't quite this

doesn't quite qualify for the topic. But I also really enjoyed catching talk sex with Sujo Hanson like, oh yeah, well that's that. And and Bliss, remember Bliss, the really the really super soft corporal that was on the Oxygen Network. Also shout out to Adult Swim or maybe FX, where there was one time I woke up and on the TV there was some kind of a monkey puppet staring at me and it really freaked me out. I used to be able to get Now, this was all times of day, but

I would be activating it at night because no one was paying attention. I could get the Spice channel in just right if I went above and back. You keep going over the channel until it catches it just right. It's like a contrac code. What a time to be alive? Yeah, it was. It was like a video game level you had to conquer to get it, and that was always fun as well. Also shout out to the DVD for season one of Modern Family that would just play the theme song on a

loop if you had it on while you were sleeping. Hey Hey. Another scary Some of the scariest moments of my life thinking in that same vein, is when The Office was on Netflix. The theme song was thirty times louder than the episode, so you'd fall asleep to watching the Office and at three a m. You'd wake up to the theme song, just thinking you're under attack. It's horrible. Let's get into Ma and Max. That could be

anything. It could have been this entire episode.
