Macaroni, Movie Magic, and Political Ponderings: Soundtrack Strolls and Whirlwind Wrap-Ups
Who would have thought macaroni and cheese could lead us into a wild ride through the chaos of inexperienced quarterbacks and the woes of an offensive line? After a brief hiatus courtesy of Hurricane Helene, we're back with tales from workday decisions and unexpected Walmart adventures. We then navigate the vast universe of movie soundtracks, kicking off with the legendary Star Wars scores and uncovering hidden gems. There’s laughter, curiosity, and perhaps a nostalgic tear or two as we remember how sometimes the music truly steals the show from the movie itself.
Prepare for a trip down memory lane as we hit the rewind button on classic 80s movie soundtracks. From Kenny Loggins' adrenaline-pumping "Danger Zone" to Berlin's sultry "Take My Breath Away," we reminisce on how these iconic tracks defined films like "Top Gun" and "Rocky III." But it’s not just about the hits; we spotlight lesser-known movies and their surprising soundtracks, peppering our conversation with humorous commentary on everything from quirky weather forecasts to unconventional movie titles.
The conversation takes an unpredictable turn into the world of celebrity politics and whimsical festivals like "Wiener Fest," all while playfully critiquing old favorites like "The Wizard of Oz." As we wrap up, we tackle the serious aftermath of Hurricane Helena and the latest election results with our trademark humor and sarcasm. It’s a rollercoaster of laughs, memories, and just a few groans as we bid farewell to the season with hopes of smoother sailing in the future. Join us for this eclectic mix of nostalgia, whimsy, and a dash of chaos.

Speaker 1Welcome back to the MT Alternative Podcast , the show where we don't let little things like catastrophic hurricanes derail our commitment to well eventually releasing an episode . Today's hosts , mike and Tom , are finally bringing you the podcast that was supposed to air during Hurricane Helena . But , you know , we thought people might be a little too busy boarding up windows and clinging to survival to tune in . So now , after the winds have died down and the chaos has subsided , mostly here , they are ready to tackle whatever topic they cooked up during the eye of the storm . Buckle up , folks . This is going to be a ride Over to you , mike and Tom .
Speaker 3Hello hello , hello . How is everybody doing ? We're back , yeah , in the New York groove .
Speaker 2I'm not New York , groove Isn't that like a . Well , it's a song for Mace Fraley . Everything's a song . So we're back with the New York groove , Uh-huh . What about the North Carolina groove .
Speaker 3Yeah , we're there too .
Speaker 2All right , excellent . So what's going on ?
Speaker 3bud . Oh , not too much . Just finished half a day of work , seemed .
Speaker 2Yes , we did . Seemed quick . Why did we only work half a day ?
Speaker 3Because we didn't want to work a whole day .
Speaker 2And we wanted to be here .
Speaker 3Yeah , of course , here is always better than there .
Speaker 2Absolutely , absolutely .
Speaker 3So how have you been ?
Speaker 2I've been all right . How's our teams been ?
Speaker 3Okay , why do you want to ?
Speaker 2go there . I just took a turn , didn't I ? Right now , I figured we'd get that out of the way .
Speaker 3Yeah .
Speaker 2Why not ? Yeah , let's just get it out there in the open right now . Let's talk about it a little bit , all right ?
Speaker 3Okay , here's my take on my team .
Speaker 2All right Shoot .
Speaker 3I think we're putting a lot on a young , inexperienced quarterback , as most teams do .
Speaker 2A little pressure on the guy there A little pressure on the guy .
Speaker 3However , I like the direction the coach is trying to take with not changing the quarterback to a system . Right , right , right but changing the system to go around his quarterback . Which makes sense , which most teams should do anyway , and I'm hoping that that is the case .
Speaker 2Why would you get a guy that does this really good , but we want to make him do this Right . That's what .
Speaker 3Stupid and the two times that he was interviewed before halftime and this and that he's like , yeah , well , we got to just step up and help Brock or Bo make another better decision . We got to help him .
Speaker 2Right .
Speaker 3We're not getting open , we're not giving him a chance to throw the ball . We've got to step up and help him . It's not just him , it's the team thing , and that's the only positive thing . Yeah , that's the only positive thing I took out of this .
Speaker 2I wish I had some positivity with my team .
Speaker 3One and one . That's as bad , a as positivity you can get no .
Speaker 2No , we played Thursday night , we're one and two .
Speaker 3Oh yeah , One and two . Yeah , yeah , yeah .
Speaker 2And boy oh boy , just what I thought from the beginning of the season , I'll admit . After the first game I said , okay , maybe they'll make games interesting , maybe they'll win seven , eight games . Okay , seven , eight games , okay , that'll be alright . If they win four games this year , I'll be amazed . It just got worse . Beat Cincinnati Okay , we took Seattle to overtime and then we played the Jets and it just fell apart . That offensive line cannot stop a nosebleed .
Speaker 3My god , they're terrible . Sounds like our offensive line last year .
Speaker 2Boy oh boy .
Speaker 3But you know what's really good ?
Speaker 2Well , the thing is , I can't believe it got worse from last year .
Speaker 3Oh , yeah , anything can always get worse .
Speaker 2You know , I've had what ? 20 years of watching my team do good ? Right , then your star retires People forget when I first started watching the Patriots . I've sat through 1 and 15 , 2 and 14 . Rod Rust era .
Speaker 3Pete Carroll nobody likes Rod Rust , but I'm finding out now .
Speaker 2I think our owner is a real cheapskate . You think so ?
Speaker 3I believe so have you ever ate his macaroni and cheese ?
Speaker 2not the same guy , but anyways , I believe so . Well , have you ever ate his macaroni and cheese ? Not the same guy , but anyways . Oh sorry , I thought so too at one time .
Speaker 3Yeah .
Speaker 2That's pretty cheap .
Speaker 3That's like ours . They're cheap . You ever shop at Walmart . No no , yeah , well , see , there you go . You ever partied with Condoleezza Rice . Woo Up the old nose .
Speaker 2Yeah , at least she's smart . Let's see what happens yeah . Maybe , yeah , what did John Elway do for you ? Nothing Besides the quarterback not taking anything on the field away from him .
Speaker 3There's a reason that quarterbacks should never be owners or managers , and he was a perfect example . What'd you do ? Lose your beer . Yeah pretty much I did . Thanks for noticing . You know I can edit that right . Yes , I do .
Speaker 2But I won't . So let's see the last couple of podcasts . We were talking about music . Yeah , that's music . We were talking about music . Well , we were talking about movies . What about soundtracks ? There's some kick-ass soundtracks .
Speaker 3There's some kick ass soundtracks , you know you said soundtrack and even the stuff we've we've did background stuff looking at . When you said soundtrack , the number one thing that popped up in my head was Star Wars .
Speaker 2I don't know and there it is on the list yeah , and it was on the list .
Speaker 3But when you said movie soundtracks , everybody knows that the Star Wars soundtrack was a huge , huge success .
Speaker 2Big time .
Speaker 3But , that being said , there were a lot of soundtracks out there that I'd never heard of .
Speaker 2Let me see what I can dig up here , alright , so , that being said , any soundtracks stick out to you , in particular .
Speaker 3Well , just the Star Wars .
Speaker 2Why does that one stick out most to you ? I ?
Speaker 3don't know .
Speaker 2It's not like , mostly it's music .
Speaker 3Well , because when Star Wars came out .
Speaker 2I was 10 years old .
Speaker 3Right ? Well , because when Star Wars came , out . I was 10 years old and when you're 10 and you get to go to a movie and see a movie of that caliber , it sticks with you , kind of . Yeah , I get that there's a lot of movies .
Speaker 2Sometimes I remember the soundtrack better than the movie .

Speaker 3Yeah , oh yeah , don't worry baby , the camera's going to do that for you . It adds 10 pounds .
Speaker 2The camera has to be on her too when Trump's making his remarks , so she can do her expressions or whatever . Does this look familiar ? Can't see what I'm doing , but it's the old hand under the chin .
Speaker 3That's crazy .
Speaker 2Certain things they couldn't ask . It had to be this , it had to be that .
Speaker 3You ever notice how wrinkly her skin is ?

Speaker 3It was like kindergartners in the classroom . Yeah , drew pictures and stuff , well so . But now the story is if you'll look close enough behind one of those , the light hits it and shades it just right where you see a shadow , yeah , behind one of those pictures of one of the little people who hung himself , because one of the bunchkins evidently because back then it was such a struggle to act I don't think those guys got paid a lot anyway
Speaker 2they didn't , and there was a lot of kids mixed in well , and he was probably having trouble at home .
Speaker 3He was a little fella , so you know how they get kicked around .

Season Finale
Speaker 1Next week , mike and Tom will be back for the last episode of the season . I know , try to contain your tears . They'll be unpacking the aftermath of Hurricane Helene , because nothing says goodbye for now like disaster recovery and diving into the latest election results Spoiler alert . We're still collectively confused about where this country is headed and , of course , because it's Mike and Tom , there will be humour , or at least their version of it . Expect sarcasm , bad puns and maybe even a questionable metaphor or two about hurricanes and elections . Seriously , you don't want to miss it , or maybe you do . I'm not here to judge . Until then , this is Daniel signing off , because someone has to keep this ship from sinking entirely . See you next week if we're all still standing . Cheers .
