Delbert in Arachnophobia is the role him and his personality were tailor-made for. I know he was arguably born to play Fred Flintstone but god that movie was terrible and such a waste of his perfect Fred Flintstone impression. Otherwise that's such a tough question because he's legitimately one of the most underrated actors of the past 50 or so years. Raising Arizona, Matinee, The Big Lebowski, 10 Cloverfield Lane (holy shit he is awesome in that) are all big favorites but really, he's kind of a deal where no matter how shitty the movie is, once you see him in it it immediately improves the quality of said movie. That's rare air that I only put people like Burgess Meredith in.

Most people are probably going to think his VHS tape videos and I get it because I love those, but his travel vlog-type videos are comfort food to me. I'm someone who has a strong level of wanderlust to the point where I could be in the next town over and immediately I'm daydreaming about what my daily life would be like there, so seeing him do stuff like travel to malls, Halloween-themed shopping, thrift shopping, or moving, or that one where he's just exploring downtown to see if he can find a specific type of apple, I eat all that shit up. It helps that he has the right kind of funny personality to help enhance it as opposed to a lot of extremely dry travel vlogs that are out there.

I used to listen to a bunch of podcasts but over time haven't really been doing much of them anymore as my favorite ones kinda just peter out. I was a big listener of The Giant Bombcast each week for many, many years until the Covid era when to be perfectly honest Giant Bomb started greatly dropping off in quality to me combined with the reality that I'm just priced out of current video games. I used to listen for Jeff Gerstmann's perspective on the industry and while I listen to his current show on some rare occasions (and especially when some big industry thing happens, because he's someone who has seen literally everything and those are always the people whose opinions most matter to me on stuff like this) I tend to not find an appeal in listening to someone talk to themselves for multiple hours unless it's a Q&A kind of deal. When it's a podcast you desperately need someone to bounce off of. Nextlander I'll listen to on rare occasions because I love Vinny/Brad/Alex dearly but again, I haven't been this cold on modern video games in an extremely long time. Last time was probably the late 00s college-era CC.

I also occasionally listen to this really dorkily charming podcast where two of the Brady kids, Peter (Christopher Knight) and Greg (Barry Williams), do a book report-style recap of a random episode of The Brady Bunch they chose beforehand, and give their insight on how the episode was made as well as anecdotes about the cast or general production stuff. It's not exactly inside baseball stuff but you can tell they're having a blast getting together and hanging out with each other again so I can't not be charmed by that. I was listening to this super cool old Lucille Ball radio show that was getting preserved and archived that was episodes of her old 1950s CBS Radio show but then after they started running out of episodes they started doing this secondhand embarrassing "what if Lucy talked to the stars of today?" AI-generated junk fake podcasts of Lucille Ball interviewing someone like, say, Amy Poehler, and I immediately dropped that shit like a bad habit.

Otherwise most of my podcast listening is clip-related, whether it's something related to wrestling that a type of oldhead like a Dave Meltzer or Bryan Alvarez is commenting on or "hey Jeff Gerstmann talked about a crazy n64 story". I feel bad but I just don't have the time anymore for long podcasts. I think what doesn't help is I'm currently not working. When I was working and had a commute it was much easier to commit to have stuff like podcasts to listen to on my way to work or on lunch breaks (or on rare occasions while I'm working). However, I love old radio broadcasts. Dennis Hart runs an amazing Monitor Beacon website dedicated to the old NBC radio program Monitor that has tons of old full episodes and those are great to have on as time capsules.

Pineapple is a very good topping on a pizza and anyone who tells you otherwise is to be ignored because at the end of the day who cares what people put on pizza. That's like getting into fights over what's a Christmas movie and what isn't.

I grew up in New York, on Long Island, so I have lots of pizza opinions and these are my favorite pizza toppings:

• Pepperoni, because ofc
• ground beef
• ham
• bacon
• pineapple
• sausage, though this can be hit or miss for some reason
• does white pizza count because ricotta on pizza slaps hard
• there was a place on Long Island that used to put penne alla vodka on pizza and it was Nap Time when you ate a slice or two but oh my godddddd it was so good dude!!
• supreme pizza toppings like olives, onions, peppers, all are tremendous stuff to put on your pizza
• I've had philly cheesesteak pizza that was pretty good and has what you would think it has
• breakfast pizza also kicks ass
• I've had mac and cheese on pizza and it's a nap time carb bomb but for a slice or two it's fine
• pasta on pizza in general is weird in theory but pretty good
• I went so far down this list and forgot to say chicken so I will say it now. chicken

If you think I've forgotten something I probably have and probably like it on my pizza. I've had a lot of pizza in my day. It's my Mom's favorite food in the entire world so we used to get it pretty regularly growing up. We had a local pizza place on LI that was open until 4 in the morning no less!! And then like everything else, it got expensive. Especially good pizza. There's like one pizza place where I currently live in my Midwest hellhole that I would ever say is pizza good enough to remind me of New York and to the surprise of no one it's the most expensive place around. A bummer but you know.

On rare occasions yes I do!! If I do watch over the air it's usually one of the nostalgia-based channels (we finally got MeTV Toons where I live) but in November and December is when most of my over the air TV watching happens. I watch the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade every year on NBC, that's my little tradition thing I've been doing ever since I was a toddler.

Then when it's Christmas Specials/Movies season I go out of my way to watch the specials that air on the big networks like CBS/ABC/NBC/FOX. There's an AWESOME website (https://christmastvschedule.com/) that is the website to look at in November/December if those are your jam, they go out of their way to list everything that's airing on a specific day, whether it's a movie, special, or even a Christmas-themed episode of an old TV show airing on one of the retro/nostalgia stations like MeTV or Antenna!! And they are super hyperfocused, I've been using them as my guide since before COVID and they've never done me wrong. Christmas specials are some of my favorite things in television history, period, so I like to watch a bunch of them each year starting from Black Friday in November all the way up to Christmas Eve and a little bit into Christmas Day if I've got nothing going on. I've got a handful of Christmas specials that I make sure in tradition that I watch each year (Christmas Eve on Sesame Street being the most important one that I 100% do not compromise on. I have to watch it each year at some point).

I also try to watch a little bit of ABC's New Year's Rockin' Eve each year. It used to be an important staple watch for me when Dick Clark was still alive to host it, but after he passed away he was really the only reason I cared much, was to get the annual visit from him to see how he was doing. Now I just make sure to watch a couple of minutes of it and have the ball drop on in the background muted on the TV just because it feels weird to not do that even without him, you know?
