Oh hi, it's Goo, And yes, we told you would have a new segment, a new bit coming out today. But like any good carpenter, Sabrina, Chris, John Harrison, Ford, Handyman, Hal Jesus the singing Duo, I'm gonna blame my tools. When we went to record the episode yesterday, Google cloud services went down, meaning we couldn't use stream yard and would have to do it later. Then, as one does, Mac fell asleep and Goo is useless once the sun starts to go down. So now we're here with nothing new,
So I thought, how about something old hit it? Marcus?
Wait, what's Goo's juicy six pack?
Chaw?
Let me tell you.
Goos just a six pen.
Gooz, just a six packs up, goo'z just a six pen.
Use j just a six pack.
Oh fancy seeing you here.
It's date Mac. Nice to meet me today.
Mark's the first official day of summer, so what better time to bring you the official six pack of summer drinks. That's right, we're talking six best alcoholic bevies to get you through those hot summer days, the six best liquids to quench that summer thirst, aka the six best excuses to drink something fruity. A couple things about these summer drinks.
First of all, they gotta be quick and easy. You're all trying to enjoy the lovely weather, maybe sitting by the pool or up on a roof deck, and you ain't got time to wait seven minutes for a drink. Also, best thing about these bad larrys is they at least pretend to be refreshing. So without further ago, it's the six best summer drinks, oh, Coming in at number six, the frozen margarita. You really can't go wrong with this
classic staple. How easy is it to keep a blender handy tossing a little tequila, little triple sec it's a mice boom. You get yourself a frozen margarita. And if you're a little fancy, you even have that lime juice that A gave syrup lying around one click of the blender. Paradise. Coming at number five, the cucumber cooler. A little newer on the scene here, that's right.
A cucumber cooler.
These cucumber flavored drinks are all the rage these days. I also can't help but think of David Ershawan and his delicious cucumber water every single time I have one. This drink consists of gin, lime, mint, cucumber, some tonic water, and if you want a bit of sugar. Although it's a tad more complicated than the rest of the stuff on the list, this is as refreshing as it gets. Plus it's one of the rare drinks that tastes better the longer.
It sits there. Weird, right boom.
Coming at number four. Any sort of slushy touristy drink. We've all been there, done that, right, You're on the Vegas Strip, you're down on Bourbon Street. You can't go more than two feet without seeing some Jimoke with a big ass plastic container filled to the brim with a death slushy. But we're all guilty of it, you know, we've all been there. A special bonus though, as your mouth turns the color of whatever you just drink, these are refreshing. Who cares if you look like an idiot?
Classic boo Number three.
A nice shandy, that's right, A simple shandy. Maybe it's a Sam Adams poortrocker, a Narrogansett Dell's shandy. Whatever your poison is, These hit the spot every single time. There's no wait time, easy disposal, and citrusy goodness in seconds. You gotta keep the fridge stocked with these all.
Summer boo.
Coming in at number two, This one's for all my bitches and hose out there, the twisted tea.
Who doesn't love a good tweet.
These things come in all sorts of flavors, packed to the brim with sugary deliciousness. Yeah, it's basically diabetes in a bottle a can whatever you're consuming with a slapped bag.
Who cares? Because summer right boom ooh.
And of course number one, going old cool here the gin and tonic yup an oldie buck goody. The G and T is as good as it gets. Pick your gin, pick your tonic, duck a sweet limer in there, and you've got gold gold Jerry. If you get the right kind of gin. You can't even tell this alcohol the damn thing. Next thing you know, you've had eight because you tricked your mind into thinking you're simply hydrating. Even Chris angel is impressed by that. Jenny Te's baby oot.
The cord I showed you, mone, now you show me yours. Those are the six best summer drinks brought to you by yours truly date Mac.
Don't like my list?
Kick rocks, Buddy, You've got a four horsemen shot headed your way. Tweet us at Mac and gooo podcast and tell us your six best summer drinks. I wish you all a happy, enjoyous summer. Audio Jesus six bad.
Youse, Jesus six pack min summer some my summer time, and it is time to you cool down. Oh hi, I'm goo and there is nothing koola then flay for ice. Delicious freeze pops were everything as a kid. Frozen, mushed up, melted into sweet sugar water. They were always delicious. But here's the thing, they weren't all created equal. So today I will be giving you a countdown of the six best freeze pop flavors. Now keep in mind, I'll be
focusing on the main six in that original box. I don't know if it's the actual original box, but it's the box that I had as a kid, So that means no tropical shit, well, with the exception of tropical punch, which apparently is the flavor of pink. Now, if you were one of those idiots who had Otter pops or pop ice, you can still play along. They're all pretty much the same thing, but that meant that you were poor. So without further ago, here are the six best freeze
pop flavors. Why six there were only six? Oooh car at number six green. Some people love this flavor, some people hate it. I, for one, hate it. The licorice of freeze pops is by far the most polarizing. See what I did there, But this was the one where there was just one hundred loose green freeze pops left over and no one really wanted them. Boom oo ca at number five red, Although never the flavor that anyone actually wanted when you ran out of the good flavors, this one was fine.
Boom boom.
At number four Orange. Whatever I just said about red that applies to this. Orange might be slightly better, but I don't really care. Swap them around.
Boom Oo.
At number three purple. Now you may be saying, but good. It tastes like medicine, Yes, delicious medicine. And if you don't agree, out boom at number two. And this is tough. There are two clear winners, and this might be the toughest six pack of all time, A real soface choice, but the runner up I go blue, little tart, little sweet, very delicious, either blue raspberry or berry punch. I'm not really sure. The flavor is amazing and you blue yourself boom ooo. And at number one can't get enough of
that pink frees pop, tropical punch or watermelon. I don't know. You could have one or one hundred of these bad larries at any time and it never changes the color of your mouth. But more importantly, it's the flavor.
Oh so sweet, boom ooh.
I showed you mine, now you show me yours. Don't like my picks, well, don't judge me, judge Judy. Head over to at Mac and Gooo podcast on Twitter and tell us your six favorite freeze pop Flavorso.
Jesus six pack, Use Jesus six pack.
Man Mac is back and he's better than ever. It's his thirty eighth year. Mac is here in honor of Valentine's Day. I'm gonna be learning you guys some knowledge this week with the sixth Best Romantic Comedies, or rom coms as we like to Colm. Now, there seems to be a lot of confusion out there as to what exactly a rom com is. You think it's pretty simple, but some folks just don't get it. Well, look no further, Rockstar, I've got.
The requirements just for you.
A rom com, naturally, is made up of both romantic and comedic elements, but too often a movie will go too far in one of those directions, either being too romantic or sappy, or trying to be too comedic and opting for quantity over quality. But why most rom coms fail is specifically because they lack a crucial third element, drama. To be a truly great rom com, there has to be some element of drama to the story.
Without it, your story is inconsequential.
And I'm also gonna be considering a degree of watchability here too, So without further ago, the six best rom coms, coming in at number six two thousand and sevens knocked up at ninety eighty three percent on Rotten Tomatoes. This movie was a stone cold success, the first of a few R rated entries on the list. Judd Apatol both wrote and directed this, and it was the first major starring roles for its main actors, Seth Rogenan and Catherine Heigel.
You could point to this movie, in fact, as the reason both became household names, and while it does give us a tale as old as time, you know the gross loser guy longing for the beautiful dame way out of his league and adds the hilarious wrinkle of what if she.
Gets pregnant and keeps it.
Heigel is perfect as the high strung, successful breadwinner Allison, and she's matched by Rogan's likely autobiographical portrayal as Ben, a lazy stoner. The supporting cast is superb, led by Paul Rudd and Leslie Mann as an annoyed married couple trying to guide both Alison and Ben. Plus Ben's stoner friends are each hilarious in their own ways. They're played by Jason Siegel, Jay Breshaal, Jonah Hill, and Martin Starr. The movie relies on a lot of tropes, but does
them quite well. It's certainly a bit long, but it does a wonderful job of balancing both main characters' stories, not leaning too heavily on either Rogan or Heigel. Dude, I think he's doing the dice thing too much. That's really all he's got. Coming in at number five is twenty Seventeen's the big sick. This comes in at ninety eight percent and eighty eight percent on Rotten Tomatoes. This is another rated R and the most recent entry to the list, and it's the highest rated by both the
critics and audience. This is directed by Michael Showalter, the creative genius behind Went Hot American Summer, and produced by Apatol and written by the film's two real life characters, Kumal Nan Johnny and Emily Gordon. The script is based on the true story of how Kumal and Emily met, which is in itself pretty cool And I'm not gonna spoil this because I feel like a ton of you still haven't seen this movie, but you really should, so go do yourselfs a favor and watch it.
It's free on Amazon Prime.
What makes this one unique is that it doesn't really focus on the relationship between the two love interests, but rather on Kummel's relationship with Emily's parents, and the common denominator there, obviously.
Is they both love Emily.
The parents are played by Ray Romano and a Holly Hunter, who both do great jobs, but Romano's performance in particular is memorable. Although more dramatic than your typical rom com, this movie gave me one of the all time great laughs that I've ever had, so nine to eleven, I've always wanted to have a conversation about that.
Coming in at.
Number four, twenty twelve's Silver Linning's Playbook. This is at ninety eighty six percent on Rotten Tomatoes, and we're going back to the well for another rated R dramatic rom com. This was written and directed by David o' russell and based on the novel by Matthew Quick. This movie features the best acting out of any of the movies on
this list, and maybe for any rom com ever. It was nominated for eight Academy Awards, capped by Jennifer Lawrence's win for Best Actress, and it pulled off the rare feet of having actors nominated in all the major categories, plus nominations for Best Picture and Best Director. The movie tackles a very real and solemn story about two broken souls who find each other and end up bonding over
how fucked up each other are. Each character kind of has some sort of mental illness or addiction, and the way they all play off of each other is really too hard to describe. You just gotta watch it again, or watch it for the first time. Although it is a dark comedy, it provides enough laughs throughout for it to not feel forced. If this was a little more rewatchable,
it might even be number one on the list. This is a great movie, and the chemistry is so palpable between Bee Coops and j Law that it really makes you wonder how these two never got together. B Coops amazically pulled this feet off again and A Star is Born with Gaga but I just really wanted to plug A Star Is Born Again.
Sala La La La, La La La Loo.
Coming in at number three is two thousand and five's The Forty Year Old Virgin. This is at eighty five and eighty four percent on Rotten Tomatoes and yet another rated R jut Apatow creation in big part what launched Steve Carell's meteoric rise in the two thousands. This movie's release came smack dab in the middle of seasons one of two of the Office and An undoubtedly created a sea of Correll fans who sought him out after the
movie and flocked to the Office television show. But besides that, this is one of the most unique films in the genre we've seen. The geeky virgin teen character a thousand times. But what this movie asked you to do is imagine that character twenty years later, living his life as a blue collar salesman who really just loves Vigie games and figurines.
So pitting Corell's lovable dorky Andy up against the smart tech crew of Paul Rudd's David, Romany, Malcolm's Jay, and Seth Rogan's Cow and that breeds an awesome group dynamic and produces a ton of hilarious moments, all of this underscored by the clever but simple introduction of Catherine Keener's Trish into the story early on. This leaves you rooting for Andy and Trish throughout, and the crew's efforts to help Andy lose his virginity before he attempts to have
sex with Trish results in a couple great scenes. Shout out to Elizabeth Banks. Plus, the movie does not suffer from that predictable apatole law. Instead, where you might expect the law to pop up, you get some surprisingly funny and heartwarming moments between Trisha's daughter played by Kat Dennings,
and Andy, both going through similarly trying sexual times. The movie's hilarious concept, well paced comedy, and awesome cast of characters would mean a lot less though, if it weren't for Keener's awesome performance as the wanna be cool single mom who's just seeking the same thing everyone else wants. You root for her as much as you root for Andy.
Hope.
You got a big trunk because I'm putting my bike in it. Number two, two thousand and eights. Definitely Maybe this is seventy one percent and seventy two percent on Rotten Tomatoes, and we have officially reached the PG thirteen portion of the program. This movie and the one ahead of it, does the best job of balancing the three
major elements romance, comedy, and drama. This movie puts a unique spin on things as it has its main character, played by Ryan Reynolds, tell the story to his daughter played by Abigail Breslin, of how he met her mother. The writer director of the movie, Adam Brooks, does a fantastic job at weaving together a love story that features an all time great Mary Kill, Rachel Weiss, Elizabeth Banks,
and Isla Fisher. The true magic here, though, is the relationship between a father and his daughter, as Bresln's character learns to love all three of those women in their own way, just as reynolds character will does. If this movie doesn't warm your heart, you're a certified idiot. Mary Banks Fisher kill Weiss coming in at number one, two thousand and one's crazy stupid love. Of course, it says the dual seventy eight's on Rotten Tomatoes. We just talked
about this this week. Of course it's number one. We did a whole episode on it Goo tease it as my favorite rom com. I kept denying it. I kept putting you people off here. It is big reveal, big reveal for the folks at home. So if you want to hear more about this movie, if you've never seen this movie, maybe go listen to that solo episode. I'll give you the basics here.
First.
The cast is excellent. Steve carells cal is the perfect lovable set. Julianne Moore as Emily is great at being that angsty, jaded wife who's just had enough of her husband. Annily Tipton's that girl next door who has no idea how attractive she is. You have Emma Stone as that successful mid twenties female who's just trying to find her place in the life, and finally you get the Goss,
the quintessential dream boat. The story gives you the prevailing love of Callan Emily as well as the emerging love of Jacob and Nana. Plus you get that young love aspect from both Robbie and Jessica. But really the core of the movie is the bromance between Jacob and cal the dream boat and the everyman.
Along the way.
The story seamlessly weaves some hijinks in there with some well timed comedy to complement its love story, and it also gives you the appropriate amount of drama in that third act. This movie is so much more layered than about every other movie in the genre, and as Good would say, it's an onion. David Lin Hoggen cuck hoolded me. He made a cuckold out of me. Car Well, I showed you mine, now you show me yours. Those were
the six best romantic comedies. Find us on Twitter at Mack and Goo podcast and tweet us your six best rom coms. If you don't like my list, you love yourself, You silly Goozo's just a six peny.
Gooz, jes a six pack mouth.
You're in for a whale of a sam shamoo big old list of whales with shabad Goo. It is shark Week, and I think we all agree that this event has jumped the shark years ago. Actually, breaching sharks were dope the first time I saw it back in aught too. And you can aff write off with your megaladawn specials.
But what now?
How about the king of the Sea, the Majestic Whale? So why not start off Mac and Goose first annual Whale Week with the list of the six best fictional whales? Hy six because six was actually a bit of a stretch. O At number six, mister Crabs daughter Pearl, he's a crab. She's a whale, so her mom's a whale. You do you, Crabs? You gotta have something going on down there if you're able to satisfy a whale. If you know what I'm saying, No clue why she isn't some kind of half whale
half crab monster. But maybe her dad is actually the milkman or the milk whale. I'm saying that the mom cheated on Crabs. Ooh. At number five, the Pinocchio whale monstro He's a whale of a whale, swallow ships, hule, jimminy cricket, the most aggressive on the list and maybe less accurate to science than the half whale crab that I just talked about. This some swallowed Pinocchio hole outside of Pleasure Island, so the little puppet had to smoke
himself out. Then he chases Pinocchio in the gang and tries to straight up murder them. Classic boom at number four. Fudgie the Whale, the king of all ice cream whales. The iconic Fudgie the Whale is the life of any party. That One's free Boom at number three. Moby Dick, call me Ishmael, Quadra or rocket. Either will do the obsession of Ahab, who knows what he wanted from this mighty fish revenge. I suppose the white sperm whale knocked his last voyage off course.
But may I suggest this get over it.
Boom at number two, Free Willie. If you love nineteen ninety three's Free Willy, you are not alone. After being set free by Kazam will he enjoys open waters and family.
Cakeo returned for the return home.
Then those Hollywood fat cats couldn't leave good enough alone, they had to finish the trilogy without the original Orca Whale Free Willy three The Rescue is garbage. Then they took a dump on Cako's grave with the Escape from Pirate's Cove Rip Cako, Sorry about your fin bro oooo. And at number one, The Whales from Blackfish.
What a movie?
The story about trebled whales at SeaWorld that killed people, compelling storytelling of a hellish place that holds whales captive waits.
That was a documentary, you're telling me Talcom did kill those people. Those were real whales making crying noises because they were alone. Collapse dorsal fins generally only happened to captive whales. I thought they did it because they wanted to look cool like Goo with this hairstyle. Well, I guess no one wins.
Boo, get the car.
I showed you mind, Now you show me yours.
Don't let my picks.
Don't judge me, judge Judy.
Head on over to at mac and Gooo podcast on Twitter and tell us any fictional Wayho's just a six pen. I still don't get it. Whoos You're just saying the same thing over and over again. What was it?
