Mount Rushmore of Hard-to-Spell Words

NBA Draft, Giannis To The Heat, Wyndham Clark, USMNT Team C… · Jun 24, 2026 Comedy

The crew picks their Mount Rushmore of words that trip up even everyday spellers. PFT goes with restaurant, separate, definitely, and misspell. Big Cat and Max take February, Wednesday, rhythm, and exercise (Max is convinced there should be a Z). Hank and Zach contribute pseudonym, xylophone, conscious, and quesadilla. Honorable mentions include necessary, rotisserie, prosciutto, and leprechaun.

Mt Rushmore of Hard to Spell Words

At 38:22 · chapter starts 38:02

Sponsored by Microsoft 365 Copilot, the Mount Rushmore segment turns into a legitimately funny exploration of English's spelling inconsistencies. PFT leads with restaurant — a word he estimates he gets right exactly 50% of the time after 36 years of trying — then adds separate, definitely, and misspell (pointing out it has two S's). Big Cat and Max take February (always drop the R), Wednesday, rhythm ('the H just doesn't exist in my brain'), and exercise — where Max insists there should be a Z and Big Cat throws in a phantom C after the X, making them both wrong in different ways. Hank and Zach contribute pseudonym and xylophone before escalating to conscious and quesadilla. Honorable mentions become their own comedy bit: rotisserie, prosciutto, necessary, leprechaun, connoisseur, and diarrhea all get nominated. Zach's revelation that he mostly relies on the squiggly autocorrect line rather than actually knowing how to spell anything prompts genuine disbelief. The whole segment closes with a kumbaya — which, naturally, several people then spell wrong on the spot.
