In the episode, Citizen Max, it was revealed in a newsreel, that when Montana Max gained control of his family's business in a hostile takeover, he kicked his own parents out of his mansion for making him eat brussels sprouts. In Buster's flashback, Mrs. Max tells a peasant Monty, who was Buster's best friend at the time, that they have won the lottery and have become rich, and picks him up in a limo.
