Mt. Rushmore of Canadians
July 27, 2017 08:30 - 1 hour - 98.3 MBCanada: our neighbor to the North, with access to everything from free healthcare to French fries topped with gravy and cheese curds. (Note: perhaps there's a correlation between the poutine and the need for healthcare?) They're just like us, except for being much more polite, speaking two languages and having a working system of governance. So when we decided to do our Rushmore of Canadians, we knew we were out of our depths and needed an expert. Fortunately, we were lucky enough to convi...
Mt. Rushmore of Truckers
July 20, 2017 08:00 - 40 minutes - 55 MBThis week, the boys are loading up the Big Orange and putting the hammer down on the Super Slab. They've got a load of hot takes on pop culture truckers, and they aren't stopping until they reach the 99. That is, if they can get their convoy past Smokey. Yeah, we really don't know what that means, either, but we know it sounds cool as hell. And that's because truckers are cool as hell. Well, the ones who aren't serial killers, but really, that's such a small population that we shouldn't wo...
Mt. Rushmore of ROAD TRIP!!!
July 13, 2017 08:30 - 47 minutes - 64.8 MBOK, before we get on the road with this podcast, make sure that you've got everything you need. Everyone went to the bathroom before we left, right? Everyone has snacks and whatever they are going to read or listen to on the road? Because once we get this podcast started, I'm not stopping until it's time for lunch. Yes, there's nothing like the lure of the open road. Especially when you are trapped in a car for hours with your family or friends. So instead of another game of Slug Bug to br...
Mt. Rushmore of Trades
July 06, 2017 08:30 - 40 minutes - 74.6 MBLook, we don't have any money. But we're willing to trade ya 40 minutes of our C minus quality podcasting for 40 minutes of your super extra valuable time. Sound fair? Good. This week we cover the Mt. Rushmore of Trades. From The Great One to the Bambino to Oswald the Rabbit, we've pretty much got it covered. We also accept magic beans.
Mt. Rushmore of As Seen On TV Products
June 29, 2017 08:30 - 47 minutes - 65 MBHas this ever happened to you - you're trying to find a new podcast episode but your ears just keep getting filled with the same old boring stuff? Well, now there's help. Say hello to our As Seen On TV Products episode! You'll get all four of Richard's favorite useless products. But wait! We'll throw in Michael's semi-informed opinions ABSOLUTELY FREE! And if you act now, you'll also get Jeff's imperialistic judgments as a bonus gift. How can you possibly turn this down? SHOW NOTES 2:2...
Mt. Rushmore of Albums You Listened To As A Kid
June 22, 2017 09:00 - 1 hour - 86.1 MBOur musical tastes change as we get older - one day you are listening to "Sesame Street Fever" as a precocious child. Then you grow up into a moody teenager and dive into the world of Japanese thrash and Norwegian techno because you're cooler than everyone else. And then you hit your 30s and start listening to "Sesame Street Fever" again because your kids found it in the garage and it's STILL AMAZING. This week Richard and Michael dig deep into their youths to talk about the albums they re...
Mt. Rushmore of Celebrity Cameos in Music Videos
June 15, 2017 09:00 - 46 minutes - 63.5 MBGetting your music video played on MTV was the goal of almost every musical act in the 1980s and 1990s. (Yes, kids: MTV actually used to play music videos instead of a 24/7 loop of Real World/Road Rules Challenge). And there was nothing to make your music video stand out like have a celebrity - or multiple celebrities - show up for a cameo. Who could deny the celebrity firepower of Rodney Dangerfield, Milton Berle or Ally Sheedy? One of them appearing in your music video = instant hit! We ...
Mt. Rushmore of Spoiler Alerts
June 08, 2017 09:30 - 56 minutes - 79.4 MBSPOILER ALERT! No, that's actually what we're talking about in this episode. As social media becomes more ubiquitous - Facebook and Twitter feeds will be implanted straight into our eyes by 2025 - it's harder to keep "shocking" twists shocking. You practically have to live like a hermit and NOT LOOK AT YOUR PHONE FOR HOURS if you don't want those jerks on the East Coast to ruin all the fun of the "Riverdale" season finale. So while we're talking about Spoiler Alerts this week, we won't spo...
Mt. Rushmore of Surf Songs
June 01, 2017 09:00 - 42 minutes - 58.2 MBFew styles of rock music are as evocative of a particular time and place than surf music. As soon as the opening guitar or drum riff to a surf classic, you are instantly transported back to a time when it was all about catching some waves and soaking up the sun. Or, you are currently at Island's taking advantage of their 2-for-1 Kona Longboard Happy Hour specials. There are no better people to give their opinions on the most iconic surf songs than three guys whose experiences with surfing ...
Mt. Rushmore of Things That Broke Your Heart
May 25, 2017 08:30 - 57 minutes - 81.1 MBWay back in Episode 10 of this show (Editor's Note: Yipes), we took a look at Video Games That Broke Your Heart. With more than a year of soul-crushing moments under our belts, we felt it was only right to expand this topic to include pretty much anything that has destroyed your spirit. So why "things" and not "people?" Partially it's because no one wants to hear about the girl who stood you up at your junior prom (Editor's Note: THANKS A LOT DIANA!). But also because having a person break...
Mt. Rushmore of Satisfying Sounds
May 18, 2017 08:30 - 43 minutes - 61.1 MBYou know what is music to your ears? Music. But also an incredibly satisfying sound! Whether is the crackling of the fire on a cold winter day or the swish of a basketball going through the hoop, we all have sounds that make us feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Is our podcast on your Rushmore of Satisfying Sounds? Probably not! But we think you'll enjoy us talking about some of our favorite sounds just the same. SHOW NOTES The "pop" of opening a package of Pillsbury crescent rolls (Michael's ...
Mt. Rushmore of Grandmothers
May 11, 2017 08:30 - 38 minutes - 54.2 MBThere might be some controversy to the theory that having grandmothers as part of a family is why humans live longer than apes. But there's no controversy about the statement that grandmothers are great. (Even if they aren't "great grandmothers." Which doesn't mean they aren't great...look, you get the point.) This week we look at the Rushmore of Grandmas - real and fictional. Just not Richard, Michael or Jeff's grandmothers, since that would be cheating. Some of these grandmothers are war...
Mt. Rushmore of Time Travel Devices
May 04, 2017 16:02 - 41 minutes - 56.9 MBWhen it comes to a road trip, sometimes it's less about the destination and more about how you get there. But is this also true when it comes to time travel devices? Sure, you could just go into a plain room like in "12 Monkeys," but where's the sense of style with that? Let's face it, driving a Delorean is cooler than going back to 1955 and having your mom try to get into your Calvin Kleins. We explore the Rushmore of Time Travel Devices with the help of our good friend Paul Lurie, who su...
Mt. Rushmore of Annoying Movie Characters
April 27, 2017 09:00 - 28 minutes - 39 MBThere's nothing like watching a great movie, only to have your blood boil every time a certain character appears onscreen. Sometimes the actor is giving a terrible performance. In other cases, they are TRYING to be annoying. And then there are great actors stuck portraying an awful character. In wrestling it's known as "X-Pac Heat" but here we're just talking the Rushmore of Annoying Characters in Great Movies. Join Richard, Michael and Jeff as they overact, use grating accents and otherwi...
Mt. Rushmore of IKEA
April 20, 2017 09:00 - 38 minutes - 70.6 MBNothing says "America" like loading up the family in the Volvo and spending the afternoon at IKEA. And we mean "afternoon" since there's no way you are getting out of there in less than two hours. After you're done, you can unwind by spending the rest of the evening loading giant boxes of plywood furniture from your car to your apartment and then trying to find the right Allen wrench to put your coffee table together. This week we tackle the Rushmore of all things IKEA. From the quality of...
Mt. Rushmore of Deus Ex Machina
April 13, 2017 09:00 - 46 minutes - 63.4 MBWe'll be honest - we thought there was no way that we were going to be able to post this episode. Because of a series of unfortunate investments (I guess last week was a bad time to go all-in on United?) and gambling addictions, we were dead broke and didn't think we could afford the basic podcasting fees. But just when Mr. Willoughby from the bank was ready to foreclose on us, Jeff's eccentric rich uncle died and left him $1 million! Does that garbage ending make you mad? Then prepare for...
Mt. Rushmore of Slobs vs. Snobs
April 06, 2017 08:00 - 52 minutes - 71.8 MBThe rivalry between slobs and snobs goes back to the earliest days of man. Ancient wall paintings tell us of Cro-Magnons, who were constantly annoyed by the loutish Neanderthals running around naked all day and banging their rocks all night while they were trying to make their advanced tools. This week we explore the history of Slobs vs. Snobs in movies, sports and music. So, depending on your perspective, crack open a Busch Light or a bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon and enjoy! SHOW NOTES: ...
Mt. Rushmore of Comebacks
March 30, 2017 08:00 - 47 minutes - 65.5 MBDon't call it a comeback!... Wait, do. Do call it that. Richard and Michael debate the most iconic Comebacks in music, acting, politics and their favorite category "whatever" this week as they try to figure out who has reached the highest highs, then the lowest lows, then a weird gooey middle, before hitting the highs again. Only Jeff can judge who belongs on Mt. Rushmore! SHOW NOTES Joint Choice Elvis' '68 Comeback Special Michael's Choices Pee-Wee Herman 2004 MLB ALCS Boston Re...
Mt. Rushmore of Office Politics
March 23, 2017 09:00 - 50 minutes - 71 MBHey, did you hear about the Mt. Rushmore Podcast? I heard from Phyllis in HR that they are doing an episode on Office Politics this week. Crazy, right? I shouldn't say too much, but the rumor going around is that Michael thought Richard was stealing his lunch from the fridge, so now they have to go in front of Jeff for arbitration. Anyway, I'm sure they'll talk about a lot more than just that during their session. They are going to get into all kinds of juicy stuff that happens at the offi...
Mt. Rushmore of Fictional Dorks
March 16, 2017 09:00 - 44 minutes - 63.2 MBIn Episode 55, we looked at the coolest characters ever. This week, we turn the tables and look at the Rushmore of Fictional Dorks. Some might say it's a topic the three of us were born to tackle. Those people are mean bullies who need to stop or else we're telling teacher. So what is a dork? And how is that different than a geek, nerd, or dweeb? We get into that, along with our picks. SHOW NOTES Michael's Picks Tina Belcher ("Bob's Burgers") 17 Reasons Tina Belcher Is the Best Rol...
Mt. Rushmore of Fictional Cool Guys
March 09, 2017 10:00 - 45 minutes - 64.9 MBThis week we take a look at the coolest cats around (and we're not talking about Heathcliff). It's our look at the most definitely and iconic cool guys from TV and film. Because when you are looking for experts on cool, look no further than three guys running a podcast out of a spare bedroom. And make sure you stick around until the end for a shocking cliffhanger that will leave your cliff hung (again, not Heathcliff). SHOW NOTES Michael's Picks Arthur "The Fonz" Fonzarelli (Happy Da...
Mt. Rushmore of David Bowie Phases
March 02, 2017 10:00 - 59 minutes - 81.7 MBZiggy Stardust! The Thin White Duke! Aladdin Sane! Dude singing with Bing Crosby! No matter what phase David Bowie went through in his career, they were never boring. Well, except for Tin Machine, but otherwise… This week we take a look back at the career of rock and roll’s great chameleon and choose the most iconic and interesting phases of his career. So let’s dance and celebrate our favorite Star, man, and all of the changes he went through. SHOW NOTES Joint Choice Ziggy Stardust ...
Mt. Rushmore of TV Catchphrases
February 23, 2017 10:00 - 38 minutes - 55.3 MBHow you doin'? If you love TV catchphrases, then come on down! And if you don't, you can sit on it, Potsie! One man who will not be kissing any grits is our friend Chapen, who suggested the topic and agreed to come on the show and make some choices against the team of Richard and Michael (aka Michard or Manfield). We think you'll give Two Thumbs Up to this podcast. When it comes to great TV catchphrases, these are Dy-no-mite! (And if you don't think so, you can bite our shiny metal asses.)...
Mt. Rushmore of Conspiracy Theories We Kinda Believe
February 16, 2017 10:00 - 43 minutes - 61.6 MBWe're smart and sensible people who don't believe in wacky conspiracy theories. But then again, there are a few that make us think...maybe? This week, we tackle the subject of conspiracy theories we can't dismiss completely even if we don't actually believe them. Unless, of course, that's what we WANT you to believe, and this whole podcast contains hidden messages to the Illuminati, the Elders of Zion and the Reverse Vampires secretly controlled by the Rand Corporation plotting our next st...
Mt. Rushmore of Mt. Rushmores
February 09, 2017 10:00 - 32 minutes - 47 MBWe've hit the big 50 and to celebrate we're getting super-hyper-mega-meta. The whole concept of our podcast revolves around the iconic nature of Mt. Rushmore. Just say the name and you automatically understand what it looks like and what it stands for. So it's little wonder why it has served as a backdrop and been spoofed in so many different places. Join Michael, Richard and Jeff as they check out some fictional uses of Mt. Rushmore before chiselling one of their own. SHOW NOTES Joint...
Mt. Rushmore of Pop Culture That Depicts a Naive and Dated Fear of Soviet Russia
February 02, 2017 10:00 - 44 minutes - 64.7 MBRemember back when we spent every waking moment worried that the Soviet Union would invade the United States or decide to launch a nuclear attack since those dirty Commies couldn't handle being on the same planet with BLAZING AMERICAN FREEDOM? Man, it sure is good that we don't have to worry about THAT anymore! We look back at the past - or prepare for the future - by remembering some pieces of pop culture that showed just how frightened or confused we were about the Soviets through the 19...
Mt. Rushmore of Fake Elvises
January 26, 2017 10:00 - 46 minutes - 66.8 MBOnce in a Blue Moon we get an idea for an episode that gets us All Shook Up. That's the case this week as It's Now Or Never for us to take a look at Fake Elvises (Elvii?) - whether they are impersonators, fictional portrayals or something else entirely. Elvis is pop culture and the different types of faux Elvises amplify the many different ways he can be viewed. Jeff, as always, is the King of this episode, as he chooses from Richard and Michael's picks. So Don't Be Cruel - give this episode...
Mt. Rushmore of Jackets
January 19, 2017 11:00 - 44 minutes - 62.7 MBAn article of clothing can define a person - and that's definitely true when it comes to jackets. Some of the most iconic looks in pop culture history are closely tied to the jacket a person is wearing. Think about Marlon Brando in "The Wild Ones" or Joey Ramone on every Ramones album cover ever and you think about their leather jacket. It's a very broad topic, which is evident as Michael and Richard take very difference approaches with their choices. Will Jeff be able to wade through it a...
Mt. Rushmore of Movies That Never Got Made
January 12, 2017 11:00 - 44 minutes - 63.4 MBHollywood releases roughly 248,000 movies every year, and about 10 of them are any good. It might seem that literally any movie will be released as soon as the first scene is shot, but that isn't the case at all. Many movies are planned - or even start filming - yet never make their way to America's multiplexes. So let's celebrate the cinematic masterpieces/disasters that never saw the light of day. Michael, Richard and Jeff are ready to roll action, and we're hoping the studio isn't askin...
Mt. Rushmore of Best Concerts I've Been To
January 05, 2017 09:00 - 54 minutes - 78 MBNot too long ago, we discussed all of the many annoying things that can happen when you go to a "rock & roll" concert. But yet we still keep going to shows! That's because when things go just right and everything clicks it can truly be magic. This week, we discuss some of the best concerts we've ever been to - for a variety of reasons. SHOW NOTES Michael's Choices The Cure - Festivalgelande (Wiessen, Austria) - July 19, 1998 Death Cab for Cutie - The Showbox (Seattle) - November ...
Mt. Rushmore of Mt. Rushmore Season One's Mt. Rushmores
December 28, 2016 19:29 - 34 minutes - 46.9 MBLet's face it: 2016's been a nightmare. We're sure it's just a coincidence that the worst year in recent memory happened at the same time we launched the first year of the podcast. Hopefully, we were able to provide you with a little light entertainment to give you a few hours of respite from the never ending drum beat of suck that this year became. It's a VERY SPECIAL EPISODE this week as we look back at our personal Rushmores of things that happened in the show over the past 12 months (r...
Mt. Rushmore of Must Have Christmas Toys
December 22, 2016 10:00 - 47 minutes - 67.6 MBThere's no joy like waking up on Christmas morning to find out that Santa had brought you the perfect present; similarly, nothing is more disappointing than getting Go-Bots when all of your other friends got kick-ass Transformers, or being told that Santa "ran out" of Cabbage Patch Kids so you'll have to settle for a Raggedy Ann. With Christmas right around the corner, we look back at some of the hottest Must Have Christmas Toys of All-Time. Jeff's made a list, he's checking it twice...and...
Mt. Rushmore of Secondary Star Wars Droids
December 15, 2016 10:00 - 43 minutes - 62.4 MBSure, everyone remembers R2-D2 and C3PO, but what about the lost souls of the Star Wars universe? OK, they are droids, so technically they don't have souls, but they are still important, damn it! Richard knows next to nothing about the world of secondary Star Wars droids. Which makes him the perfect judge as Michael and Jeff showcase their nerdery and argue about the merits of some of the lesser but still important robots in the Star Wars world. SHOW NOTES Jeff's Choices Gonk Droid ...
Mt. Rushmore of TV Theme Songs
December 08, 2016 10:00 - 35 minutes - 65.7 MBA TV show doesn't have to have a memorable theme song to be known as great - but it sure helps. The right theme song makes an immediate connection with the show. From the first notes of the song, you know what to expect and, over time, it creates a Pavlovian reaction as you instinctively are ready to watch. SHOW NOTES Michael's Choices Gilligan's Island "The Gilligan's Island Theme" - Hash House Harrier Songbook Olympic Fanfare and Theme "The Fascinating Origin of the Olympic Anthe...
Mt. Rushmore of Non-Verbal Sidekicks
December 01, 2016 10:00 - 35 minutes - 66.6 MBHoly switcheroo, Batman! Usually, it's Michael and Richard debating the merits of their choices for a certain topic with Jeff serving as judge. But not this week as Jeff has some HOT TAKES that demand to be heard - even if the subjects aren't. In an unprecedented move, Jeff and Michael switch places. Now it's Richard vs. Jeff giving their Rushmore of Nonverbal Sidekicks. Who will win? Only Michael knows for sure. SHOW NOTES Joint Choice: Harpo Marx (Marx Brothers) "Harpo Marx - 10 T...
Mt. Rushmore of Non-Lego Building Toys
November 24, 2016 10:00 - 33 minutes - 47.2 MBFor 38 episodes, we've heard Michael and Richard do battle against in other in trying to come up with the perfect Mt. Rushmore for many topics. Now something unthinkable has happened. Like Hulk Hogan and the Macho Man, the Superpowers have teamed up to fight a common enemy - Disney Channel producer/minor Kansas City celebrity Scott Jones, a noted expert in all things Lego. Except the topic isn't Legos! In fact, it's every other type of building toy. Will Michael and Richard's tag team be e...
Mt. Rushmore of Thanksgiving Bullshittery Mini-Episode
November 23, 2016 17:01 - 11 minutes - 16 MBHappy Thanksgiving! Unless you're Canadian, then Happy About a Month After Thanksgiving! As a bonus treat to get you ready for Turkey Day, Michael, Richard and Jeff discuss their favorite Thanksgiving traditions. Fill up your plate with plenty of aural fixings and get ready to stuff your ears with podcast goodness.
Mt. Rushmore of Video Game Power-Ups
November 17, 2016 08:00 - 34 minutes - 48.2 MBOne of the things we often remember about our favorite games is the Power-Ups. These are the moments when something truly special happens. Suddenly, you have the upper hand, whether you are fighting masked ninjas or trying to kick your friend's ass in NBA Jam. This week we put our quarters on the machine and take our turn going over some of the best Power-Ups of arcade and console games. A special shout out to Richard's RBI Baseball nerds for suggesting this topic and coming up with some ...
Mt. Rushmore of Trapped People
November 10, 2016 09:00 - 53 minutes - 75.6 MBAre you stuck in a rut? Feeling trapped by life? Well, it's better than being stuck in a well or trapped in a cave. Cleithrophobia is the "fear of being trapped" and honestly, it doesn't seem like it's that unreasonable. Having to hack off your own arm to free yourself from a massive boulder? Doesn't sound like a lot of fun. This week we shine our searchlight on real and fictional people who have been trapped - both in a physical space or somewhere more metaphysical. SHOW NOTES Michael...
Mt. Rushmore of Fictional Elections
November 03, 2016 09:00 - 44 minutes - 62.8 MBBoy, hasn’t this Presidential election been a blast! Wait, no, scratch that – it’s been a living hell. We might wish that it was fictional and it might seem like a bad dream, but it’s happening. So let’s blow off some steam and remind ourselves about some of the best Fictional Elections in history! This week, Michael and Richard debate the relevant issues of the day (i.e. whose Rushmore is better) while Jeff moderates and tries to keep the lies separated from the half-truths. A big tip of ...
Mt. Rushmore of Pop Culture Devils
October 27, 2016 07:00 - 37 minutes - 54.1 MBHe goes by many names. Satan. The Devil. Lucifer. Beelzebub. The Father of Lies. Mr. Scratch. The Parking Lot Attendant Who Makes You Pay Full Price When You Lose Your Ticket Even Though You Just Run Into Ross For Five Minutes. And there are just as many pop culture representations of him as there are names, likely because the entertainment industry lies clutched in his grip. Or because writers are lazy. Michael, Richard and Jeff take a trip to the dark side and reveal some of the most ico...
Mt. Rushmore of Songs Drunk Women Sing at Karaoke
October 20, 2016 09:00 - 40 minutes - 57.4 MBIt’s LADIES NIGHT at the Mt. Rushmore Podcast! And not in that creepy nightclub kind of way but in a fun karaoke way! This week the topic is Songs Drunk Women Sing at Karaoke, and it felt wrong for a bunch of guys to discuss this. Instead, we invited our wives to break it down. Emily and Sara put in their song slips, and don’t forget to tip your KJ (Karaoke Judge) Jen. Order your Long Island Ice Tea and get ready to jump on-stage. Emily’s Choices “Bitch” by Meredith Brooks https://www....
Mt. Rushmore of Annoying Things at Concerts
October 13, 2016 08:00 - 39 minutes - 54.4 MBYou're all set - you have tickets to go see your favorite band. You're pumped, so you get there early and prepare yourself for a once-in-a-lifetime performance. Then the show starts and...everything falls apart. Join us as we - a bunch of 30- and 40-year-olds - tell the people who ruin our concert experiences to get off our lawn, and get off of the stage.
Mt. Rushmore of Partying
October 06, 2016 08:00 - 32 minutes - 49.1 MBWhen it's time for the Mt. Rushmore Podcast to party, we will always party hard! In this episode, we take a look at the good, bad and crazy things that always seem to happen during a party. Michael is tapping the keg, Richard is yelling at the DJ to cut out that disco crap and Jeff is keeping an eye out in case the fuzz shows to to harsh our mellow. SHOW NOTES Richard's Choices Drinking Games, Bringing a Strange Guy, Drugs Gone Awry, Breakups at the Party Michael's Choices Booze, A...
Mt. Rushmore at the Los Angeles Podfest 2016
October 04, 2016 00:16 - 16 minutes - 23.8 MBA bit of a different episode this week - we went out to the LA Podcast Festival a couple of weeks ago and had a great time meeting some old friends and making new ones. While we were there, we decided to ask some of our fellow podcasters about who would be on THEIR Mt. Rushmore of Podcasts. And by "us" we mean Jeff, who basically was a one-man wrecking crew of awesomeness.
Mt. Rushmore of Hoaxes
September 29, 2016 09:00 - 51 minutes - 72.3 MBYou know the saying: fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, I'll punch you in the nose. I think that's right. Regardless, hoaxes have been around along as people have loved making other people look stupid. So, that is to say, forever. But some hoaxes are more memorable and creative than others. SHOW NOTES Michael’s Picks Patterson-Gimlin Bigfoot Film Wikipedia Entry (Seriously, It’s Crazy) - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patterson%E2%80%93Gimlin_film Is There Anyone Left Who Sti...
Mt. Rushmore of Best Actors. Seriously.
September 22, 2016 07:00 - 44 minutes - 63.1 MBThe actor. A man or woman solely dedicated to their craft of taking the works of the world's most talented playwrights and screenwriters and giving them life. Or, sometimes, they are happy to get a scene in a Fast & the Furious sequel with FIVE WHOLE LINES. Well, the hell with the Joe Schmo actors - we're only talking about the best of the best. This week, Richard and Michael try on the Masks of Comedy and Drama to explore the real - and we mean full on no fucking around - best actors ever...
Mt. Rushmore of Stupid Things People Do in Bars and Restaurants
September 15, 2016 07:00 - 31 minutes - 47.4 MBThere’s nothing worse than going to your favorite bar or restaurant and having your night ruined by some lout without a clue about the concept of civility. Some people simply can’t handle the basic manners required to eat anywhere but a Golden Corral, and even than they are probably cutting in line for the Chocolate Fondue Waterfall! Richard, Michael and Jeff know about eating and drinking – they’ve been doing it their whole lives! This week they get together to discuss some of the rudest,...
Mt. Rushmore of The Things About Baseball...
September 08, 2016 05:00 - 39 minutes - 57.6 MBBaseball is our national pastime for a reason - there's nothing that says summer in the USA like taking the family to game, getting some hot dogs, drinks and peanuts, and then taking out a second mortgage to pay for all of it. But let's be honest - as great as baseball is, some of the best things about going to a game aren't necessarily about what happens on the diamond. There's a lot of time to kill while watching a game, which means a lot of time to notice the little things that make bas...
Mt. Rushmore of Desert Island Albums
September 01, 2016 05:00 - 1 hour - 64.9 MBLet's be honest - if you brought four CDs with you on a deserted island, you'd probably use them for anything other than listening to music. You could sharpen the edges and use them as weapons to hunt birds or fish. Or shine them to reflect sunlight in hopes of catching the eye of a nearby boat or plane. Really, there are tons of uses for these things. But, the trope is there for a reason. Music helps us to remember great things in our lives, or get us through tough periods. And being stuc...
