Beck Did It Again! (What's the Story) Morning Glory? by Oasis
[00:00]All right, here we go.
[00:02]Now, I've been told, got to keep this short.
[00:07]Aaron's got people coming in.
[00:08]Got to keep this a short episode.
[00:09]So I even did the short gong sound there, okay?
[00:12]So I want you to respect that.
[00:13]So I'm just going to point out when I don't go long, okay?
[00:16]That's going to help us stay on track.
[00:18]We're going to do a short episode.
[00:19]Okay, multiple complaints from multiple people in the Zoom meeting.
[00:22]I would say, in fact, 75% of the people complained about the link.
[00:25]Actually, I've been getting a lot of complaints about that.
[00:29]But I haven't been going very long recently.
[00:30]Complaints about the link.
[00:33]Complaints about the link, duration, and distance.
[00:38]Rob, did you have a cupping treatment?
[00:40]A cupping treatment?
[00:42]Yeah, of course.
[00:43]Oh, wow.
[00:44]I woke up today.
[00:46]I texted my masseuse person.
[00:47]And she's like, can you be here in 45 minutes?
[00:50]And I was like, yes, I can.
[00:51]I'll be right there.
[00:52]Oh, wow.
[00:52]And then she took the cups.
[00:54]And when she was done, she just put them in a Tupperware bin.
[00:56]And I was like, there's no way.
[00:58]Those are getting clean.
[00:59]There's just a 0% chance.
[01:01]Like, there's no way.
[01:02]You know what I mean?
[01:04]Like, I just knew it.
[01:05]I was kind of like, ugh.
[01:06]But I've never heard of anybody catching back lice.
[01:08]So I think I'll be fine.
[01:09]In 2020, four friends decided to listen to every one of the greatest 500 albums
[01:13]as decided by Rolling Stone Magazine.
[01:15]This resulted in a text chain that celebrated the music.
[01:17]I prefer to call them back crabs.
[01:18]Scorie the order and let us speak in this podcast.
[01:21]We are far from excellent.
[01:22]It's better than front crabs.
[01:23]And we promise to do almost no research.
[01:24]All opinions are our own unless you disagree.
[01:26]Please, I'm powering through.
[01:28]We've got to get done.
[01:28]Please sit back and enjoy.
[01:31]Beck did it better.
[01:32]We are all the way up to album 157.
[01:36]And from 1995, we've got Oasis with parentheses.
[01:41]What's the story?
[01:43]Close parentheses.
[01:44]Morning Glory.
[01:45]All right.
[01:46]Appreciate the grammatical accuracy.
[01:49]Hey, Aaron.
[01:49]I'm actually trying to get through this episode pretty fast.
[01:51]So let's just get right into it.
[01:52]We're not even going to mess around.
[01:53]Let's get right into our intro.
[01:55]Okay.
[01:56]Everybody's got to wake up tomorrow.
[01:57]Don't waste your time.
[01:58]Okay.
[01:58]There's no fun zone.
[01:59]No fun zone, sir.
[02:01]Speaking of no fun zone, let's listen to the parody song.
[02:06]You know, the last time I was in a no fun zone was in college at Coach K's basketball class
[02:11]where we played defense and he didn't let us have fun in that class.
[02:14]He's a no fun zone.
[02:15]Yeah.
[02:15]No fun zone.
[02:17]Seriously.
[02:17]How much can one guy talk about that?
[02:19]He wants coach with Clem Haskins and the gopher team.
[02:21]How many times can the guy bring it up?
[02:23]Every week.
[02:24]That's weird because my dad wrote papers for a lot of those guys.
[02:26]He's like, Sean Leonard.
[02:28]I was his tutor.
[02:29]All right.
[02:30]You know that he's, he's still the coach at St.
[02:33]Olaf.
[02:33]We were there 20 years ago and I thought he was well ready to retire.
[02:36]He's still the coach.
[02:37]Wow.
[02:38]I mean, what's the expectations are low, right?
[02:40]Just like, don't get your kids arrested.
[02:42]Matt, listen, I hate to do this.
[02:44]I got to make a sting for asking you to do this.
[02:45]I don't want to waste time by doing this myself.
[02:47]Can you just look up St.
[02:49]Olaf's basketball record for like the last 20 years?
[02:51]I'm just curious.
[02:52]No, actually, you know what?
[02:53]They, they, they won a couple of years ago.
[02:55]They've actually been good, but I'll look it up while you,
[02:58]while we listen to K-Rub, we'll come back.
[02:59]Sounds good.
[03:00]Let's get into K-Rub.
[03:02]Now guys, over, under 12 and a half dunks in the history of St.
[03:05]Olaf basketball, 12 and a half, over or under.
[03:08]I saw Devin George throw it down.
[03:09]Does that count?
[03:10]No, it doesn't count.
[03:11]For St.
[03:12]Olaf though.
[03:12]Oh, for St.
[03:13]Olaf.
[03:13]I'm going to say, I'm going to say under for sure.
[03:16]The only thing,
[03:17]the only thing a basketball player at St.
[03:18]Olaf has ever dunked is when he dunked Dave's credit card over and
[03:22]over and never paid him back.
[03:23]Don't, don't, don't, don't.
[03:28]I thought you said drunk when he peed in that kid's room down on,
[03:31]when I was in Thorson, the Saturday night he came in.
[03:33]He's like, he's like, Hey, what are you doing?
[03:35]He's like, no, the peeing on the bottom bunk.
[03:38]Like it's a trough.
[03:38]All right, guys.
[03:40]I got it.
[03:41]I got big news for you this week.
[03:43]We went to K-R-B-B-C.
[03:46]We went across the pond.
[03:47]Let's see what's going on across the pond at my, at the sister station.
[03:51]What's up, mate?
[03:52]Welcome to K-Rub London style.
[03:55]That's right.
[03:55]We've got K-Rub now with a,
[03:57]part of Bedfordshire town.
[03:59]Now put down your figgy pudding and listen up.
[04:03]What if your boss was your mate?
[04:06]And what if your mate was your boss?
[04:08]Ooh, that's a good one.
[04:10]British Rob.
[04:11]Oh yeah.
[04:12]Pop on a shirt and you go to work and you realize Aaron is your boss.
[04:17]All you would really have to do is say that you love oyster sauce.
[04:22]I can't imagine having Aaron be in charge of me.
[04:27]Somehow I obsessed about this idea all day.
[04:32]Just thinking about Aaron as my boss on teams.
[04:35]You talked in a lion dreams or how you really hate gout.
[04:39]You dig talking about figs when your zoom meetings about to start your reports
[04:46]better be done correctly.
[04:48]And on Aaron's desk within the hour.
[04:52]Then he says,
[04:57]team building is important.
[05:00]So he flies all the way up to Portland.
[05:05]He buys a bunch of books and I guess boxing is what he is into now.
[05:13]But Aaron,
[05:21]when we group meditate,
[05:23]he's staring,
[05:26]but he bought,
[05:27]Oh,
[05:27]Oh,
[05:27]Oh,
[05:27]Oh,
[05:27]Oh,
[05:27]Oh,
[05:27]Oh,
[05:27]Oh,
[05:27]Oh,
[05:27]Oh,
[05:27]Oh,
[05:27]Oh,
[05:27]So I'll catch him on this trust fall.
[05:35]When you want to hear about the greatest albums of all time.
[05:45]Aaron,
[05:45]Aaron,
[05:45]I'm trying to mess with your voice right now.
[05:47]Rob,
[05:47]he came in and yelled at you.
[05:48]Don't let this episode go.
[05:50]Oh yeah.
[05:50]Yeah.
[05:52]Maybe I want to hear from guys.
[05:54]Better stay on target.
[05:56]Hey Rob.
[05:57]I've got the,
[05:59]Rob,
[05:59]unfortunately we're going to have to mark you below plan for this episode.
[06:03]I did it better.
[06:04]So you're only going to get a 3.1% raise instead of 3.2% if you had busted your ass.
[06:09]I'm so happy that,
[06:10]uh,
[06:11]I'm so happy that I don't know what that means.
[06:13]Listen,
[06:14]okay.
[06:16]I will say I had a rhyme in that song with talk on Slack and pickleback,
[06:19]but I didn't,
[06:21]uh,
[06:21]I didn't go for that one.
[06:22]Not enough,
[06:23]not enough other rhymes.
[06:24]Listen,
[06:24]what's up?
[06:25]I've got four.
[06:26]I don't know.
[06:26]What's up?
[06:27]I've got four guys here who are definitely not trying to pretend to be the Beatles.
[06:31]Okay.
[06:31]And that has nothing to do with what we're talking about tonight.
[06:33]Uh,
[06:34]this is Beck did it better.
[06:35]We are talking about Oasis at one 57 and I've got Matt in.
[06:40]Where are you,
[06:42]Matt?
[06:42]North Dakota,
[06:43]North Dakota,
[06:43]North Dakota.
[06:44]I was like,
[06:44]the camera angles weird.
[06:46]I'm doing well,
[06:48]Rob.
[06:48]I just wanted to listen to all the listeners.
[06:50]Please don't put your life in the hands of a rock and roll podcast.
[06:53]Oh,
[06:54]just don't do it.
[06:54]You know what?
[06:55]You could do it with us though.
[06:56]We'll take good,
[06:57]good care of you.
[06:57]I've got Russell in Minneapolis.
[07:00]Russell,
[07:00]how are you doing?
[07:01]Rob?
[07:02]There are many things that I'd like to say to you,
[07:04]but I don't know how,
[07:05]but maybe our friendship is going to be the thing that saves me.
[07:09]Cause after all,
[07:10]compared to you,
[07:11]I am super tall.
[07:14]Oh my God.
[07:16]You know what?
[07:17]I haven't thought about that in days.
[07:18]And now I'm bummed again.
[07:19]Reminder.
[07:21]Jeez Louise.
[07:21]That's terrible.
[07:22]I've got out in California.
[07:24]Now,
[07:24]Aaron,
[07:24]now Aaron earlier was a little bit lost in California until he saw,
[07:27]a guy drop his waffle on the beach.
[07:31]He dropped his waffle on the beach.
[07:33]And then he knew for sure he was in San Diego.
[07:36]Sandy.
[07:38]Ago.
[07:39]I get it.
[07:40]I get it.
[07:41]I get it.
[07:41]I get it.
[07:42]Sandy.
[07:42]Ago.
[07:43]Lego.
[07:43]My ego.
[07:44]The other ego stuff.
[07:45]I go waffle.
[07:46]It's almost like ATM machine,
[07:47]right?
[07:47]You don't need to say there's a go making anything else.
[07:50]I don't know.
[07:51]Anyway,
[07:52]here's a wonder wall.
[07:52]Let's talk about Oasis.
[07:53]And you are busy.
[07:56]Aren't you?
[07:57]You got to do it.
[07:57]You got guests coming in.
[07:58]What?
[07:58]You've been cleaning the house today or what?
[07:59]That was for this.
[08:00]That's for one of our listeners.
[08:01]You guys know the.
[08:02]Hey,
[08:02]why don't we just get all of rolling going?
[08:04]Aaron.
[08:04]Aaron's got Jesus Christ.
[08:05]Fine.
[08:06]Aaron.
[08:06]We'll go early hour.
[08:07]Okay.
[08:07]30.
[08:08]Rolling well toned,
[08:09]rolling bone.
[08:09]They're on their way here right now.
[08:11]Nine 30 PM.
[08:12]I would also like to say we're all here arriving this evening.
[08:15]I'm happy.
[08:15]I'm always happy to start earlier.
[08:17]Everybody just let everybody know.
[08:18]I was sitting in a zoom room for a half hour,
[08:20]not knowing it was the wrong agree.
[08:22]I understand.
[08:22]I understand.
[08:23]Who has guests come over at nine 30 at night?
[08:26]That's crazy.
[08:26]I'm from Minnesota.
[08:27]Yeah.
[08:28]Aaron,
[08:29]you guys are very,
[08:30]you're so cocksure about always having people stay at your house.
[08:33]Make them stay at a hotel.
[08:35]Oh,
[08:37]great.
[08:37]I'm going to edit this out too.
[08:38]I think,
[08:39]I think I know where this is.
[08:40]Did you,
[08:40]did you check to make sure they weren't allergic to cats?
[08:43]Yeah.
[08:43]Well,
[08:45]the cats don't live in here.
[08:46]We can't listen.
[08:47]If you want us to have the cat conversation right now,
[08:49]we can,
[08:49]but they don't live inside.
[08:51]I got a lot of cat stories.
[08:53]But they've seen you naked.
[08:53]But they have seen you naked.
[08:55]Just to review.
[08:56]They,
[08:56]well,
[08:57]they,
[08:57]they do come in once in a while.
[08:58]They brought it.
[08:59]I mean,
[08:59]the Alice brought us a mouse inside the other day.
[09:02]Yeah.
[09:03]Yeah.
[09:03]And then,
[09:04]and so.
[09:04]Yeah,
[09:05]they don't live there,
[09:05]but they are,
[09:06]they have seen me naked and they're bringing gifts.
[09:07]So listen,
[09:08]Aaron,
[09:09]let's get,
[09:10]it doesn't matter how busy you are.
[09:11]Listen,
[09:11]I respect that you're busy.
[09:13]You got people come over.
[09:14]If somebody lives in a small place,
[09:15]I get what that's like.
[09:16]Okay.
[09:17]And of course the people visiting,
[09:18]you always want to see them equally as everybody else.
[09:21]It's not going to be a problem.
[09:22]They'll probably show up early too.
[09:24]When you'd really like,
[09:25]isn't it the worst when people show up early?
[09:26]Let's get into the voice now.
[09:29]I forgot to text you guys about this one.
[09:34]On the back line,
[09:37]802-277-BECK.
[09:39]Can I have?
[09:39]That's 802-277-2325.
[09:42]Can I have five minutes to think of my answer?
[09:44]Yeah,
[09:44]you can.
[09:45]You know what?
[09:45]Okay.
[09:46]We can take our time.
[09:47]We can take our time.
[09:48]Just wait a bit.
[09:49]This is going to be a hard one.
[09:51]No,
[09:51]no,
[09:51]no need to rush.
[09:52]So you all met each other at St.
[09:54]Olaf college.
[09:55]And what I would like you to share is what was your reasoning to pick going
[10:01]to St.
[10:01]Olaf college?
[10:02]You know,
[10:02]the second best college in the city of Northfield.
[10:04]Bye.
[10:05]Jeez.
[10:06]That would be my cousin who seems to be calling a lot recently.
[10:09]I don't know.
[10:09]I don't know what's going on.
[10:11]New child,
[10:11]new kid,
[10:12]nothing going on.
[10:13]Bored out of her mind.
[10:15]That is kind of depressing though.
[10:17]When you're like,
[10:18]you went to the second best liberal arts school in a small town.
[10:21]Like you didn't even go to the best one at a small town.
[10:24]What are we?
[10:25]That's man.
[10:26]I shouldn't even do this,
[10:27]but you want to hear the more depressing story.
[10:29]Yeah.
[10:29]Mine's mine's the number one,
[10:31]most depressing story about why to go to St.
[10:33]Olaf,
[10:33]but I'll,
[10:34]I'll start off,
[10:35]which is I went to St.
[10:37]Olaf college because when I was 11,
[10:39]my children's choir drove to Minneapolis and did some concerts.
[10:43]And on the way we stopped in Northfield and did some choral workshops with
[10:48]Anton Armstrong.
[10:49]And I thought that was the coolest thing ever.
[10:51]Wanted to go there from that point on,
[10:53]wanted to be in the St.
[10:54]Olaf choir,
[10:55]where I did it.
[10:57]I got there.
[10:58]I took conducting classes with Anton Armstrong.
[11:02]Yeah.
[11:03]Never,
[11:04]never made it into the St.
[11:05]Olaf choir.
[11:06]Didn't didn't make it to the St.
[11:08]Olaf choir.
[11:09]Fair though,
[11:10]Aaron.
[11:10]I think like you,
[11:12]you didn't make it like your sophomore year.
[11:15]And then I think that annoyed you.
[11:16]And then you're like,
[11:16]fuck it.
[11:17]I'm not,
[11:17]I'm not,
[11:18]I'm not working to be a part of this again.
[11:20]Is that right?
[11:20]I think that's true.
[11:21]I tried twice and then I was like,
[11:22]ah,
[11:23]fuck those guys.
[11:24]And like,
[11:24]it's,
[11:24]it is,
[11:25]it's a regret.
[11:25]Now I should have tried one more time.
[11:26]I have to ask,
[11:27]cause I don't know,
[11:28]I have no nothing about this,
[11:30]but that,
[11:30]that choir is huge.
[11:32]Right.
[11:32]And I'm not a shot at you,
[11:33]but no,
[11:36]but I knew,
[11:36]I knew multiple people that tried out,
[11:37]but like,
[11:39]but what,
[11:39]what is the deal with,
[11:40]I mean,
[11:40]like,
[11:40]is there,
[11:41]is there like a hundred people in the choir and 600 people of the 3000 or
[11:45]whatever try out?
[11:46]And what is the stats?
[11:48]No,
[11:49]I mean,
[11:49]there's what,
[11:50]there's 10 people in a section.
[11:52]So there's 40 men and 40 women in any given.
[11:54]Time I think.
[11:55]Right.
[11:55]Cause there's gotcha.
[11:56]Okay.
[11:57]So,
[11:57]and,
[11:57]and 81 people tried out and I didn't make it.
[12:01]That's fine.
[12:02]It's fine.
[12:03]I drove to Missouri overnight as a way to cope.
[12:06]Oh no.
[12:06]You're what I don't get is I didn't know they had a,
[12:09]a Marine bio major.
[12:10]I mean,
[12:11]you're doing coral studies.
[12:12]I don't,
[12:13]but there has to be reasons to it though.
[12:16]Beyond like Aaron,
[12:17]whether it's maybe it's your voice not fit into the choir as well,
[12:20]because you were a more talented singer.
[12:22]We had friends that were in that choir.
[12:24]That they all said you were a better singer than them.
[12:28]One was a very good friend of ours who was in,
[12:30]in the limestones actually.
[12:32]And he was in the Saint Olaf choir.
[12:34]Wasn't it?
[12:34]- Yeah.
[12:35]It just,
[12:36]yeah.
[12:37]I mean,
[12:38]it just didn't,
[12:39]it didn't work out.
[12:40]It didn't fit.
[12:40]I was singing the wrong part or it didn't,
[12:42]I'm not sure exactly.
[12:43]I,
[12:44]I had a good relationship with Anton Armstrong.
[12:46]I took conducting class with him.
[12:47]It was all fine,
[12:48]but yeah,
[12:49]never,
[12:50]never made it into the choir.
[12:51]- If you would've went to Carlton,
[12:52]the better college at Northfield,
[12:53]you wouldn't have made any choir.
[12:54]They wouldn't have had you in any of the music program,
[12:58]right?
[12:59]It's a better school.
[12:59]- I could have done something else.
[13:00]I could have studied philosophy or whatever.
[13:02]- What if the person coming over to visit Aaron tomorrow
[13:05]is Dr. Armstrong?
[13:07]- No.
[13:08]- Aaron's like,
[13:08]no, you can come in my house,
[13:09]sleep in the garage,
[13:10]old man,
[13:11]get out there.
[13:12]- Aaron's being hard on himself though.
[13:13]Like Aaron was never part of the big choir,
[13:15]but Aaron put on shows as a solo artist.
[13:18]Like he,
[13:18]he had hundreds of people come to recitals where he was solo
[13:22]as singing amazingly on stage.
[13:24]So you might not have been in the choir,
[13:26]but I'd rather be the big fish.
[13:29]You were the man on stage by yourself.
[13:31]- Hundreds is very generous,
[13:33]but thank you, Russell.
[13:34]- I went to his,
[13:34]I went to a senior recital.
[13:36]I was there.
[13:37]And then when he got married,
[13:38]I was like looking through the mail.
[13:39]I was like,
[13:40]I must've missed something.
[13:41]I went,
[13:42]I'm trying to support my friend,
[13:43]but I guess,
[13:43]and then I'm looking,
[13:45]I'm like, well,
[13:46]who was in my wedding?
[13:47]Who was in my wedding?
[13:48]Let's see.
[13:49]Who did I have to sing?
[13:50]Oh, that's right.
[13:50]Aaron.
[13:51]Like I've got the perfect place to wear these sandals,
[13:54]this maroon shirt,
[13:55]this yellow tie.
[13:56]Where would I,
[13:56]oh, where would I love to wear this?
[13:57]- We're going to have to get into this sometime.
[14:02]It's a weird hole in that,
[14:03]I mean, short period of my life where like,
[14:05]I think about my early twenties.
[14:07]I think about like playing racquetball with Russell and Rob,
[14:10]and then like think about Rob's wedding.
[14:12]And then somehow,
[14:13]Rob, I swear it's because you were gone.
[14:14]I swear it's because you lived in far flung places.
[14:17]I was like,
[14:18]- Oh, I'm sure.
[14:19]- Rob's not going to come all this way for this wedding.
[14:20]- Where the mail wasn't delivered.
[14:21]So far away.
[14:22]Now, listen.
[14:23]- You know what though?
[14:24]If I remember correctly,
[14:25]I don't think,
[14:26]I don't remember Aaron,
[14:27]you having a super huge wedding.
[14:28]I don't think there was a lot of the St. Olaf crew
[14:30]that was invited to your wedding.
[14:32]If I remember right.
[14:32]- You're saying I was too big to come to a wedding.
[14:34]It wasn't super huge.
[14:36]There's only normal size people.
[14:37]- There's very few things I would do over in life.
[14:39]But one of them is if I could time travel,
[14:41]it would be,
[14:42]I would recover the fumble
[14:46]in the state championship in football that I just missed.
[14:49]I would get those Prince tickets
[14:51]and I would invite Rob to my wedding.
[14:53]Those are the three things.
[14:54]- Wow.
[14:55]- If I could time travel.
[14:55]- Not bad, not bad.
[14:56]- I didn't know Matt at St. Olaf really, right?
[14:58]Matt and I connected later.
[15:00]- He's standing firm.
[15:01]He's standing firm on that one.
[15:02]So Aaron, that was a,
[15:03]and it's so funny, Aaron,
[15:04]because when we're in college,
[15:05]we think like, oh man, you know, I really,
[15:06]my whole life was geared toward getting in this choir
[15:08]and I'm just going to have to change what I always wanted.
[15:11]And then by the time you're 43, you're like,
[15:13]oh yeah, there's another life dream.
[15:14]Not going to happen.
[15:15]Oh well.
[15:16]- I'll just throw that out there
[15:16]on this wildly popular podcast.
[15:18]And people are going to listen to this story.
[15:20]- You guys know why I went to St. Olaf?
[15:22]- Why did you go to St. Olaf, Russell?
[15:24]- Actually, I visited a handful of colleges,
[15:26]probably like five or six where you did the visit,
[15:28]you did the tours and everything.
[15:30]And I went to St. Olaf and I just had a really good tour.
[15:33]And it was the same day in 1998
[15:36]that the Vikings drafted Randy Moss,
[15:39]AKA the super freak.
[15:41]And I remember listening to it in the car ride home.
[15:43]And I think I was just in such a good mood
[15:45]because we drafted Randy Moss
[15:47]that I associated it with the going to touring St. Olaf.
[15:51]And I was pumped.
[15:52]And I went there and I got there and I was like,
[15:53]oh, I'm the only kid in the whole auditorium
[15:56]wearing a baseball hat.
[15:57]Like maybe this wasn't the right choice.
[15:59]- Welcome to St. Olaf.
[16:02]- Matt, why'd you decide to go there?
[16:05]- I, to this day, I still have no idea.
[16:08]I mean, to say that I was recruited to play baseball
[16:10]would be a wildly overstating, you know,
[16:13]I probably got some like form letter.
[16:16]I think my head baseball coach was like,
[16:21]went to the St. Olaf
[16:21]in the sixties and was like,
[16:23]oh, I think you'd fit in well down there kind of a thing.
[16:25]And then his son was roommates with the,
[16:28]who's the guy who's the head coach there now
[16:30]when they played at St. Olaf, things like that.
[16:32]So I had no idea.
[16:33]I wish I would have toured 10 colleges.
[16:37]I think I toured three.
[16:38]Gustavus, Mankato was just like a backup.
[16:41]And then like, I went to St. Olaf and I was like,
[16:43]well, this is, this seems like a cool place.
[16:45]And they had math and econ and all that stuff.
[16:47]And, and they, you know, kind of said,
[16:49]hey, you want to come play baseball?
[16:50]And so that was, that was about it.
[16:52]And, you know, I, I, to this day,
[16:54]I probably should have gone to like a big 10 school
[16:57]or something, but I don't know.
[16:59]I have no idea how I ended up there or why I ended up there,
[17:02]but it ended up being a great decision.
[17:04]- How lucky are we that we ended up here
[17:06]because we all made those choices.
[17:07]Rob, how did you end up at St. Olaf?
[17:09]- I bet, I bet Rob's milkman must've suggested it to him.
[17:12]Yeah, he had gone to St. Olaf.
[17:14]He was in the only choir.
[17:15]So that's great.
[17:16]You got to try it out.
[17:18]I was also, I was kind of, I was there when the coaches,
[17:20]the coaches came, they asked me to come down for football,
[17:22]not really recruited, but I went.
[17:24]And when the coach was there, he goes, you know,
[17:26]there's three women for every one guy at St. Olaf.
[17:30]And I was like, can, can I come back with you right now?
[17:33]Like, can I, is that possible?
[17:35]Can I get in your car?
[17:37]I tried to stow away.
[17:38]- What he didn't say is that.
[17:39]- Rob, where else,
[17:40]where else would you go to play football?
[17:42]Was there any other options?
[17:43]- Carlton was, Carlton was picked at all.
[17:45]Then St. John's sent letters, but, but that's about it.
[17:49]- Yeah. I mean, they would,
[17:50]but then they would also just bring down,
[17:52]you can tell they just were looking at the programs too.
[17:54]Like I had no idea because they would also bring down
[17:56]the tallest guy and the fattest guy on the team
[17:58]who happened to be the same guy, did not do anything,
[18:00]but I always be like, all right, get recruited,
[18:02]college football, please at the table.
[18:05]And then it's me and fat Jimmy.
[18:06]And I'm like, no, fat Jimmy is here.
[18:07]Anybody's here.
[18:08]- Hey Rob.
[18:11]- Hey little Joe.
[18:13]Now you thought that was,
[18:14]you thought that was fat Jimmy, didn't you?
[18:16]Check your biases at the door.
[18:17]That was little Joe.
[18:19]- Oh, fat Jimmy also had a voice like this.
[18:22]Hey, Rob.
[18:23]Oh, Rob would come into the offensive meeting
[18:26]and he'd be like, Rob, tall, fat guy.
[18:31]And then big Jimmy would come in and be like,
[18:32]he'd be taller, fatter guy.
[18:34]Get it?
[18:37]Like remember starting tailback, starting tailback.
[18:39]- Yeah.
[18:40]- Yeah.
[18:41]They had me carry a football around and I fumbled it.
[18:43]And of course I had to recover it.
[18:44]And then when I looked up,
[18:45]I saw a math equation on the blackboard
[18:46]and I solved it easily.
[18:47]And that's how I got into St. Olaf.
[18:48]Not a big deal for me.
[18:49]Rolling, going.
[18:51]Aaron, how's it rolling, going with you?
[18:53]In this, the speed round affected it better.
[18:56]- It's going, it's going great.
[18:58]I have a couple of-
[18:59]- Oh no, Aaron.
[19:00]Are you okay?
[19:01]- Yeah, I'm good.
[19:02]I'm good.
[19:03]I got a couple, I was, there was,
[19:04]I had a call back to one of our previous topics
[19:06]and now I've lost it.
[19:07]So I've had, I was thrown off.
[19:09]I had a good day today.
[19:11]I had some car stuff going on as usual.
[19:14]The car had a recall on the trailer hitch.
[19:16]So I had to go out to Concord and take
[19:19]the car in for the-
[19:21]- Do you ever hitch anything?
[19:22]- This is a good day?
[19:23]You started this by saying I had a good day?
[19:25]- Yeah.
[19:26]- You actually respond to those things
[19:28]when they send you recalls?
[19:29]- Yeah, man.
[19:30]It said it was going to start the house on fire.
[19:31]So I was like, well, I guess I better get this thing fixed.
[19:34]- The hitch?
[19:35]- Yeah, 'cause it's got an electric hookup.
[19:37]I don't fucking know.
[19:38]But I was like, I went and did the recall.
[19:40]- You got home insurance.
[19:41]Who cares?
[19:42]Burn, baby, burn.
[19:43]Let's go.
[19:44]Let's do it.
[19:46]- So, but I do hitch stuff, Russell.
[19:48]That's how we put the,
[19:49]we put the bike rack on the car.
[19:50]So the bike rack goes into the hitch.
[19:52]So I drove out to Concord to get the car looked at.
[19:55]- As he's driving out, the bikes are on fire behind him.
[19:58]Jesus, no, it's happened.
[19:59]It really happened.
[20:01]- So as you do, you take a walk through the nice city
[20:04]of Concord, California while your car is in the shop.
[20:06]And I walked past, I walked past a porch
[20:09]that had an honest to God couch on the porch.
[20:12]- Oh yeah.
[20:13]- And I thought like, this is genius.
[20:13]Like I've seen this in like rap videos and stuff,
[20:16]but I've never actually seen a couch.
[20:17]And there was a guy sitting on it and I was like,
[20:19]man, a couch on the porch, like that's a good move.
[20:22]- 100% chance if you wanted to get high,
[20:23]go sit on that couch.
[20:25]- Yep.
[20:26]- Okay, there's a 100% chance
[20:27]that is happening on that couch.
[20:29]- Perfect, right?
[20:30]- And if it was really a stoner house,
[20:32]they probably had one of those milk crates
[20:33]turned upside down and they were rolling their papers
[20:36]right on top of there.
[20:36]- Right on there, yeah.
[20:37]- That's where the ashtray was.
[20:38]- I'll say this, Aaron, outdoor couch, great idea.
[20:41]Everybody wants to do it, great times, why not?
[20:44]Reality, moist.
[20:46]It's a moist couch.
[20:47]- Yeah.
[20:49]- It's a moist couch and it's got that smell
[20:50]and you're like, oh God, I cannot have a couch.
[20:52]- The couch is moist.
[20:53]- But you know what?
[20:53]It's gonna be a little bit of work to get rid of this.
[20:55]No, thanks.
[20:56]Nowadays, you're happy to drive to get a hitch fixed.
[20:58]Back in college, I wouldn't lift a finger
[21:00]to throw away something and be like,
[21:01]no, just gonna be here forever, I guess.
[21:03]- And then, so then I finished my walk.
[21:08]I found a taco truck that was parked at a gas station
[21:11]next to a construction site.
[21:12]So obviously that's where you go for lunch.
[21:14]The tacos came with a free can of Coke.
[21:18]Have you guys had a can of real Coke recently?
[21:22]- Sure.
[21:23]- No.
[21:24]- I'm sure I have.
[21:25]- That's made of drugs, right?
[21:27]Like, I don't drink a lot of soda.
[21:28]Like I drink half of the soda
[21:30]and then that was at like 11:15 in the morning.
[21:32]And then at three o'clock, like the come down from a real,
[21:36]and like, listen, like I'm not saying
[21:38]I'm a super healthy person.
[21:39]Like my body is optimized to metabolize alcohol.
[21:44]Like I'm a, you know, like I can deal with that.
[21:46]But a full on real Coke?
[21:48]- That shit is drugs.
[21:49]Like that was really messing me up today.
[21:51]Like I, no way.
[21:53]- I realize how big I am, Aaron,
[21:54]'cause I think I could drink a full Coke right before bed
[21:56]and be like, all right, time to get these E's.
[21:58]Like, let's go.
[21:59]It would have no effect on me whatsoever.
[22:02]- Oh my God, that was, wow, that really threw me.
[22:05]And then I do have, so I have a couple of music thoughts
[22:07]today rather than food thoughts.
[22:09]Although I do, I got, I wanna let you know,
[22:11]I got the shrimp tacos and the fish tacos.
[22:13]They were delicious.
[22:14]- Wow.
[22:15]Surf and surf.
[22:16]- Is that two orders or is that like a, you get a three
[22:18]and they tell you what, you know,
[22:19]you say what you want, did you get two orders?
[22:21]- You could get shrimp or fish or a mix.
[22:24]And so I got two shrimp and one mix.
[22:26]That's what I chose.
[22:27]'Cause I really liked the shrimp tacos,
[22:29]but I wanted to taste some of the fish.
[22:30]- Well, earlier you said fish.
[22:32]So it feels like you were kind of lying to us
[22:33]and you're really going earlier.
[22:35]- What?
[22:36]I said fish and shrimp.
[22:37]- Well, but you said fish and shrimp
[22:39]and then kind of now it turns out it's a mix.
[22:41]So I feel like you're being a little deceitful.
[22:43]- I will issue a Beck Did It Better apology.
[22:46]- All right, we better do it right now.
[22:48]- I was in the waiting room.
[22:50]- I'd like to take this chance to apologize.
[22:52]- Don't talk over the apology.
[22:53]- To absolutely nobody.
[22:54]- Beck Does It Better podcast.
[22:57]- That's what the fuck he wants.
[22:58]- Oh yeah.
[23:00]- Never regret having Conor McGregor on your soundbird.
[23:03]Never gonna go bad.
[23:04]- Beck Does It Better podcast.
[23:05]Is that what that says?
[23:06]Beck Does It Better podcast?
[23:08]- That was in the past.
[23:10]I made that before we started.
[23:12]- I was in the waiting room of the car dealership,
[23:17]dropping off my car.
[23:18]- Oh, great place to be, by the way.
[23:20]Super fun.
[23:21]- They're playing some bangers in there.
[23:23]I gotta be honest.
[23:23]- Great coffee.
[23:24]Always have great clean music.
[23:26]- Uh-oh.
[23:30]- I lost my train of thought.
[23:31]No, no, I can do it.
[23:32]I'm here, I'm here.
[23:33]The Eric Carman song,
[23:35]the Eric Carman song from the Dirty Dancing soundtrack
[23:37]came on, right?
[23:38]- Come Sail Away?
[23:39]- Eric Carman.
[23:41]- Oh, Carman.
[23:43]I was like, are you digging into this?
[23:44]'Cause there is a thing now
[23:45]where they have Eric Carman singing songs
[23:47]and it's just the worst. - No, no, no.
[23:47]I was like, is Eric Carman into this now?
[23:50]- Hungry Eyes comes on in the waiting room
[23:52]of the dealership.
[23:54]- No, Aaron.
[23:55]- And there's like six of us in there, right?
[23:57]- Did you look up, Aaron?
[23:58]And you saw the guy coming in.
[24:00]Guess what?
[24:01]He's got a little grease on his hands.
[24:04]He's taking a washcloth.
[24:05]He's wiping off his hands.
[24:07]Listen, he's just a man at a long day work.
[24:10]You look up, you're getting coffee.
[24:11]You make eye contact.
[24:13]And all of a sudden, you know
[24:15]that here at this Hyundai dealership, where you're getting
[24:17]your hitch repaired and all the guys are making fun of you
[24:19]out in the workshop, you've met your one true love,
[24:23]Eric Carman.
[24:24]Beefcake, beefcake.
[24:25]Hey, Lisa's mom, we never found his mom.
[24:31]Carmen's sitting there, man.
[24:32]San Diego, San Diego, it's going bad.
[24:34]- Every person says like,
[24:35]"Hey, wait, this is from Dirty Dancing."
[24:37]People from many different cultures, many walks of life,
[24:40]behind the counter, in front of the counter,
[24:42]everyone comes together.
[24:43]Everyone knows this song rocks.
[24:45]Everyone knows where it comes from.
[24:47]And that was a special moment brought to me by music.
[24:50]And so I just want to give a shout out to Eric Carman
[24:53]for brightening up my day.
[24:55]Have you guys had any, are there songs like this
[24:57]where like, you know that if you hear this,
[24:59]you're going to vibe with everybody around you?
[25:01]Matt.
[25:02]- There's a ton of them, right?
[25:05]I had one, I was just sitting, I was 15 minutes early
[25:08]to pick up, my boys were hanging out at a buddy's house
[25:10]and he can't pick them up early
[25:12]'cause they're in the middle of video games.
[25:13]So I just sat in this parking lot
[25:14]and just looking at my phone and turned on
[25:17]some music and the Go-Go's "Our Lips Are Sealed"
[25:21]came on from 1981.
[25:23]And one, I had no idea that what they were saying
[25:26]is "Our Lips Are Sealed."
[25:28]I never knew that, you know,
[25:29]you know, it makes sense when you hear it,
[25:31]but this is like another one of those perfect songs.
[25:33]This is like Madonna's, you know, things like that.
[25:36]You hear songs like that where it's like,
[25:38]- Wow, that's a sweet bass line there too.
[25:41]- This one just, this one will always be good.
[25:44]And just listen, listen,
[25:45]did you know that they say "Our Lips Are Sealed"?
[25:47]Did you guys know? - No.

[26:02]So that's what I had yesterday.

[26:34]- Now, of course, this video, as shown,
[26:36]has already played on my YouTube account,
[26:37]because we have done a great Wilson Phillips bit.
[26:40]One of the few bands named
[26:41]after two different brands of cigarettes.
[26:44]- When it kicks in here, yes.
[26:46]Right here.
[26:47]- Or a tennis ball and some vodka.
[26:50]- Yeah.
[26:51]Now, guys, I'm gonna have you guess.
[26:54]I think I jerked it to this video.
[26:56]- Oh!
[26:57]- Huh?
[26:58]- Oh.
[26:59]- Let's see.
[26:59]I mean, guys, they're on the beach.
[27:00]What year did this come out?
[27:02]♪ Hold on for one more day ♪
[27:04]- What year did this come out?
[27:05]- It's actually, yeah, it is impressive mobility
[27:07]to be able to sit in hero pose like that.
[27:09]- Oh, if you ask me right now to sit on my,
[27:13]like that on the beach.
[27:14]- Right, forget it.
[27:15]- I could last about two seconds.
[27:16]I'd be like, I'm done.
[27:17]I'm gonna walk.
[27:18]And my song is, of course,
[27:21]"At the Family Cabin" where this gets played.
[27:24]This gets played about, I would say 10 times a summer
[27:28]when my dad says, well, you know,
[27:30]I just want to talk about me.
[27:31]And then he plays Toby Keith.
[27:33]- Yes.
[27:34]- I want to talk about me.
[27:35]- This video is wild.
[27:37]- Look at this music video.
[27:39]- What the hell?
[27:40]- Which is a song where basically-
[27:41]- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[27:44]- Where he says, basically, you know,
[27:45]I like talking about you. - I like talking about you.
[27:46]- But sometimes I just want to talk about me.
[27:48]- But occasionally, I want to talk about me.
[27:52]- By the way, this video is wild.
[27:54]If you want to see Toby Keith in a,
[27:57]two suit jackets and a tie.
[27:59]- Guys, I don't know, like,
[28:01]you might think I'm crazy for saying this,
[28:03]but like, there's, there are certain angles
[28:05]where Toby Keith kind of looks like Barry from Burnsville.
[28:09]Like there's something about his smile
[28:13]that kind of reminds me of somebody
[28:16]that we know.
[28:17]- Okay, Toby Keith.
[28:19]Let's see.
[28:20]- Mm-hmm.
[28:21]- Ryan, look at that side-eyed look.
[28:23]- He's kind of got the really tight beard.
[28:26]- When he's got that tight, yeah, that tight beard, yeah.
[28:28]- Yeah, well, uh-oh.
[28:29]- Something about that smile.
[28:31]- You know what?
[28:32]And they both hate pants.
[28:33]- Yeah.
[28:33]- They both hate pants.
[28:35]- They actually agree on a lot of things.
[28:36]- I'm telling you, man.
[28:37]- Okay, I've talked to them
[28:38]and they've actually agree on a ton of stuff.
[28:39]It's pretty crazy.
[28:40]- He likes to put boot in people's asses.
[28:44]- Yeah, the boot right in their ass.
[28:45]- Exactly. - Yeah.
[28:46]- You know the other similarity?
[28:47]Neither one of them has called us
[28:49]and left a voicemail in the last two years.
[28:50]- Oh, that's a good point, very good point.
[28:53]- I would pass on Toby Keith leaving us a voicemail.
[28:56]I'm good, actually.
[28:56]I don't really care what he thinks.
[28:58]- What if he calls to me to put a boot up your ass?
[29:02]- Have you guys heard the quote?
[29:05]This is apparently a real quote.
[29:07]- Okay.
[29:09]- And Ethan Hawke wrote an article about this
[29:13]in "Rolling Stone" that Chris Christopherson
[29:16]and Toby Keith got into a bit of an altercation backstage.
[29:20]- I saw this.
[29:20]I did see this.
[29:21]- And they kind of had a sort of, you know,
[29:25]an exchange of words.
[29:26]And then Waylon Jennings, Chris Christopherson said like,
[29:29]"You don't even want to know what Waylon Jennings says
[29:30]about guys like you."
[29:32]And the quote, true or not, is that Waylon Jennings said
[29:36]that people like Toby Keith did to country music
[29:39]what pantyhose did to finger fucking.
[29:42]- What?
[29:43]- Yes.
[29:44]- Yes. - What?
[29:45]- Yes.
[29:46]- Yes.
[29:47]- I've been waiting.
[29:49]- Wow.
[29:49]- To discuss this on the podcast.
[29:52]It gets, I mean, obviously there's a little political here,
[29:54]so, but I mean.
[29:55]- Yeah, Toby Keith is in his big "Stars and Stripes:
[29:57]These Colors Don't Run" stuff and Christopherson hated it.
[30:00]And he told Chris Christopherson when I went out there,
[30:02]no lefty shit.
[30:03]And Chris Christopherson was an army ranger.
[30:05]And so basically he like went off on him.
[30:07]You're doing to music what pantyhose did to finger fuck him.
[30:10]So good.
[30:11]Quote.
[30:12]- Can you imagine like.
[30:15]- That's a great line.
[30:15]- Right.
[30:16]And like, what kind of genius do you have to be
[30:17]to just think of that off the top of your head?
[30:19]Like I could, I could sit here and insult you guys all night.
[30:21]I could never come up with anything like that.
[30:23]- That explains these Amazon packages full of pantyhose
[30:25]that I've been getting at the apartment though.
[30:27]I will say that.
[30:29]- All right.
[30:31]How's it really going with Russell?
[30:33]- Things are going well.
[30:34]I thought we could maybe go into the cohabitation corner.
[30:36]- Oh no.
[30:37]- And get your guys thoughts and experiences
[30:39]I've had over the last week.
[30:40]- Oh no.
[30:41]- It's time for Russell's advice corner.
[30:42]- Russell, I'm so sorry.
[30:43]- Oh yeah.
[30:45]- So I've got five experiences over the last week.
[30:50]I was gonna share the ups and downs of cohabitation
[30:52]if I could with you guys.
[30:53]- All right.
[30:54]- Oh yeah.
[30:55]- Yes.
[30:56]- The first one is I actually,
[30:57]the cohabitator I am cohabitating with,
[31:00]we'll call her a musical theater fan.
[31:02]And her and I actually, last Friday,
[31:04]we went and saw "Jagged Little Pill".
[31:06]We saw the musical "The Alanis Morissette Show".
[31:09]Have you guys seen the show or not?
[31:10]- No.
[31:11]- No, but my wife did.
[31:12]And she said, it's a laugh a minute.
[31:14]Okay.
[31:15]Hold onto your sides 'cause you will split them.
[31:18]- It is definitely a story about like this regular family
[31:22]that is having all these problems,
[31:23]family issues, relationship issues, addiction,
[31:26]problems with sexual assault
[31:28]and how we approach it as society.
[31:30]So it was definitely a little heavier
[31:32]than I was expecting it to be,
[31:33]but they did a really nice job with it.
[31:35]The music is fantastic.
[31:37]And you know, I was thinking,
[31:38]"Jagged Little Pill" was one of my top five albums.
[31:40]It was either that or Amy Winehouse from "The Discussion".
[31:43]Go on and listen to that music.
[31:45]- It is fantastic.
[31:45]It is so good.
[31:47]The music is so good.
[31:48]- Yeah, it's great music.
[31:48]- Russell, can I ask you just one question?
[31:51]- Yeah.
[31:52]- Where did you sit in the theater?
[31:54]Okay, where were your seats?
[31:54]- Do you know this or not?
[31:56]- No, I'm just wondering.
[31:58]- Where were you sitting in the theater?
[31:59]- Look at this.
[32:00]- No reason.
[32:00]- Look at Rob's face.
[32:01]Rob knows.
[32:02]- No reason, where were you sitting?
[32:03]I was sitting on the aisle in the,
[32:07]near the, in the lower deck,
[32:08]in the, near the, to the back third of the room.
[32:10]- Yeah.
[32:11]Yeah, I was sitting in the back.
[32:14]- Do you know why I did that though?
[32:14]Rob?
[32:15]- To get blown in the back of a theater like Dave Coulier.
[32:17]- Oh, geez.
[32:19]- Right?
[32:20]So we're sitting near the back of the theater, Rob.
[32:26]We are.
[32:27]But this time I did it strategically.
[32:29]Remember the last time you guys,
[32:30]I told you I went to the Orpheum for women,
[32:33]the bathroom line was so long and it was enraging to me.
[32:35]I was like, what are we doing?
[32:36]How have we not fixed this bathroom situation, right?
[32:40]So I decided this time we're going to sit
[32:41]in the aisle near the back.
[32:43]So when that,
[32:44]or the intermission hits,
[32:47]we can be up and to the bathroom
[32:49]and in the line at the very front.
[32:50]My date doesn't have to wait 30 minutes
[32:52]to get to the bathroom, up and in.
[32:54]So I strategically pick aisle near the back of the theater.
[32:57]What do you, good move?
[32:59]- Russell, that is such a baller move
[33:02]to think of your date going to the bathroom
[33:05]and that's how you bought the seats.
[33:06]That thought would never,
[33:07]it would never occur to me when I bought seats,
[33:09]what would she think about this?
[33:11]- Well, let's just say the seating situation,
[33:13]maybe I wasn't the best.
[33:14]I'm the best person here later on.
[33:16]So we're sitting here,
[33:17]the theater's pretty full and we're sitting there.
[33:19]There are no people in front of us.
[33:21]Again, no open heads in front of us.
[33:22]You have a direct view.
[33:23]You can see everything.
[33:25]After intermission,
[33:26]there were two ladies sitting a few seats down
[33:28]that moved over a seat.
[33:30]So one of them was now sitting in front
[33:32]of my musical theater fan that I'm with.
[33:36]And my musical theater fan all of a sudden
[33:37]was not happy about it.
[33:39]- Tough look.
[33:39]- Shaking her fist,
[33:40]angry that people were sitting in front of her,
[33:43]even though like they weren't,
[33:44]they weren't our seats.
[33:45]Anyone could have been sitting there beforehand, right?
[33:47]- Yeah.
[33:48]- But she was not happy.
[33:49]Should I have offered to switch seats with her
[33:51]or just kept my aisle seat?
[33:54]- You need to offer-
[33:54]- That's not even a question.
[33:55]- You need to offer to switch seats.
[33:57]Russell, well, let's move on to the next topic.
[34:00]Russell, please tell me you offered to switch seats.
[34:02]It's the least you could-
[34:03]- If you have to ask, Russell.
[34:04]- Oh my God, Russell.
[34:05]What are you doing?
[34:06]- It feels like not even an offer.
[34:07]It's more of a like,
[34:08]"Hey, can I switch seats with you?"
[34:10]Like it shouldn't even be a-
[34:11]- Especially since you're so tall, Russell.
[34:12]We all know you're so tall.
[34:14]- There's everybody in front of you.
[34:15]- Guys, you know, anybody-
[34:16]- Maybe I should have brought this up on the pod.
[34:17]- Anybody can get the booster seats to the theater.
[34:21]It's not just kids, okay?
[34:22]It's also for some big adults can use it too.
[34:24]It's fine.
[34:25]Well, you guys know what?
[34:26]It's not always me making the mistakes.
[34:28]This, I'm gonna tell you this story.
[34:30]We'll see if it sounds familiar at all to you guys.
[34:33]So the other day I was going to work
[34:35]and I've got a polo shirt
[34:36]with kind of my company logo on it, if you will.
[34:39]So I'm going into work and I put it on
[34:41]and I'm about to leave.
[34:42]And I walked downstairs,
[34:44]I'm walking out and there's a kind of a mirror
[34:45]in the basement bathroom.
[34:47]So I'm kind of walking by and I look,
[34:49]my shirt is on Inside Out.
[34:51]I realized the musical theater fan
[34:54]didn't say anything to me in the morning
[34:55]when they saw that I was wearing an Inside Out shirt.
[34:58]- Nice.
[34:59]- Sounds familiar at all?
[35:01]- This is a polo shirt?
[35:02]- Yes.
[35:03]- How do you put a polo shirt on Inside Out?
[35:05]Like you need to have more.
[35:06]- I don't know.
[35:07]- It's actually impressive.
[35:09]- Yeah.
[35:10]Russell, welcome to the club.
[35:13]Okay?
[35:14]Nobody, she has already moved into the,
[35:17]I don't give a shit about him phase of your relationship.
[35:21]That is awesome.
[35:22]- No way.
[35:23]- Okay.
[35:24]- So later that day I came home and I said,
[35:25]hey, I got to call your bullshit on something.
[35:28]You sound like someone else I know
[35:30]that I've heard does this.
[35:32]And I said, hey, I came in today with an Inside Out shirt
[35:35]and you didn't say anything.
[35:36]And she goes, well, we were going out the other night
[35:38]and your fly was down and I told you about that
[35:40]'cause we were going out together.
[35:41]And I was like, so the answer is,
[35:43]if you're going out with me, you'll give me the heads up.
[35:46]If not, I'm on my own, right?
[35:48]- Or she's spending more time looking at your crotch
[35:50]than other places, which is like, hey.
[35:51]- Yeah, that's true.
[35:52]It's my favorite.
[35:54]Well, you are tall, Russell.
[35:56]I don't know if you're that tall.
[35:58]No, Russell, if it's anything like the people I know,
[36:00]if you compare them to other people,
[36:01]they get really mad about it.
[36:03]Okay?
[36:04]So I don't know if I would go down that path.
[36:08]You got to be careful.
[36:09]People are their own people, all right?
[36:11]No matter how funny you think it is to say otherwise.
[36:13]My third thing in cohabitation land this week
[36:17]that I had to discuss was,
[36:19]do you guys ever deal with your cohabitator, your spouse,
[36:24]kind of making a lot of racket and maybe really loud,
[36:27]like at odd hours, like super early in the morning?
[36:30]Does that ever happen or not?
[36:31]- No.
[36:33]- Or maybe like while you're doing a podcast, Rob,
[36:35]you know, that happens once in a while,
[36:37]clanking the dishes, that type of thing?
[36:39]- No, she, no.
[36:43]I'm used to somebody making,
[36:44]they try to be as quiet as possible.
[36:46]And I try to do the same. - Oh, they do.
[36:48]- Yeah. - They do.
[36:48]- I think it's respectful,
[36:50]especially if you're somebody who maybe works later
[36:52]and sleeps later, like they should, you know,
[36:56]maybe get a clue and just be quiet.
[37:00]- As a work later, sleeps later guy.
[37:02]- Wait, Russell, I'm reading what you just chatted me.
[37:04]They should get a clue and be quiet
[37:06]and just God damn it, listen to me.
[37:07]Listen to Russell for once, okay?
[37:09]He's not wrong about everything.
[37:11]- Okay, write that down. What was it?
[37:13]Get a clue and what was the other part?
[37:14]- No, Russell, you texted it to me.
[37:16]That was the, oh, you already wrote it down.
[37:18]It texted it to me.
[37:20]So anyways, I'm up sleeping a few mornings ago
[37:22]and all of a sudden I hear this smashing downstairs.
[37:25]It sounds like someone's popping popcorn or something.
[37:28]Turns out my musical theater goer
[37:31]has this big one gallon jug of water
[37:33]that they had, they bought for me a while back,
[37:36]but I don't use, like, I don't want to carry around
[37:37]a big one like Rob has got in front of him.
[37:40]But my musical theater goer is one who wants
[37:42]to have the big one gallon jug.
[37:45]So it turns out at like six in the morning,
[37:47]the musical theater goer is down there smashing ice
[37:51]to put into the jug.
[37:52]Is that too early for that type of thing or no?
[37:55]- Now, Russell, listen, listen, we're all in agreement.
[38:00]It's too early for that shit, okay?
[38:03]That's not the issue.
[38:04]That is not, I'm going to tell you right now.
[38:06]It doesn't, is it right?
[38:07]Is it wrong?
[38:08]Is it ethical?
[38:09]It doesn't matter, okay?
[38:11]The correct answer is Russell.
[38:12]You got to shut up.
[38:13]Don't you, you did not say anything to her about that.
[38:15]Did you?
[38:17]'Cause you know what that is.
[38:18]That's an invitation to point out something wrong
[38:20]you did earlier.
[38:21]Is that what happened, Russell?
[38:22]- That does remind me, I'm thinking really hard
[38:24]about making my own ice.
[38:25]Like I've seen a lot of bartender videos
[38:27]of like dudes who make big blocks of ice
[38:29]and then, and then take an ice pick
[38:31]and chip off their own ice.
[38:32]Like I, I kind of like this idea.
[38:34]- Oh, like you're making a cocktail.
[38:37]Like, and you're using the ice from the ice machine.
[38:39]That's not good ice.
[38:40]But if you make your own big old block of ice
[38:42]and you can pull it out and chip off some,
[38:43]like that's got to feel good.
[38:45]- You just get an ice cube tray and fill it up Aaron.
[38:48]And what are you talking about?
[38:49]Make your own ice.
[38:50]- I'm not even sure you can do that,
[38:51]but like imagine.
[38:52]- Well, you know, the far, the bigger the ice cube,
[38:53]inside of that, it gets more dense than that dense.
[38:56]I mean, you know, it really pulls out that oaky flavor
[38:59]from that bourbon lager to just that much better.
[39:01]- I cannot have an ice pick in the house, okay?
[39:04]Don't wait.
[39:04]See my wife walking around with that,
[39:07]I don't have a big trouble.
[39:08]- Rob gets in bed after the podcast.
[39:11]- That's the number one murder weapon
[39:12]that people in movies I've jerked off to.
[39:14]- Oh God.
[39:15]- Rob's just sitting on his couch with no underwear on,
[39:18]like constantly crossing his legs back and forth.
[39:20]Russell, the idea that you think I could cross my legs
[39:25]is the nicest thing anybody's ever said to me.
[39:27]I don't think I could cross my legs
[39:30]if you paid me a thousand dollars.
[39:31]So you know what?
[39:37]I'm ripping out my musical theater goer,
[39:39]but I have to give her an amazing amount of credit here.
[39:42]It was my birthday the other day.
[39:43]- I'm gonna edit this part out, by the way.
[39:44]Just to let you know, I'm gonna edit this part out.
[39:47]- Oh, and it was my birthday the other day
[39:49]and the musical theater goer got me a few gifts
[39:52]and they may be some of the best birthday gifts
[39:54]I have ever gotten.
[39:55]So I wanted to share them with you guys.
[39:56]- I completely forgot it was your birthday.
[39:57]- Quick if I could.
[39:58]- Oh man.
[39:59]- Oh, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute,
[40:00]wait a minute.
[40:01]We're doing birthday gifts.
[40:02]♪ Happy birthday to you ♪
[40:04]♪ Happy birthday ♪
[40:06]- All right, Russell, let's hear the gifts.
[40:08]- So my first gift, as you guys know,
[40:09]I love records of shows I've seen.
[40:12]I remember when I got my Buddy Holly record
[40:14]'cause I saw Buddy Holly in person, Rob.
[40:16]- Yeah, I remember that.
[40:17]- So first gift musical theater gets me on vinyl,
[40:20]Alanis Morissette, "Jagged Little Pill."
[40:22]- "Jagged Little Pill," that's rad.
[40:24]- Russell, that is incredible.
[40:27]Pretty cool after seeing that show in person
[40:30]a few days beforehand.
[40:32]The next one, and this is the true gem, another record.
[40:36]- It gets better.
[40:37]- The record is Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem on vinyl.
[40:41]- Oh, man.
[40:44]- Russell, that's unbelievable.
[40:45]- Your absolute favorite band.
[40:46]- My favorite band.
[40:48]And to follow it up as if the vinyl wasn't enough,
[40:50]she also got me this,
[40:53]Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem T-shirt.
[40:56]- Yeah!
[40:58]- Wow.
[40:59]- Yeah!
[41:00]- Russell, that is so good.
[41:02]Is she the only person ever
[41:04]to buy that combination of albums?
[41:06]The Alanis Morissette and Dr. Teeth.
[41:07]- Yeah, must be, right?
[41:09]- I have a feeling Disney saw the Dr. Teeth sale,
[41:11]was like, what just happened?
[41:12]- Yeah.
[41:13]- They probably had to call somebody,
[41:14]make sure it wasn't a mistake.
[41:16]So some amazing gifts.
[41:18]And then the other thing I was gonna share with you guys
[41:20]is I had another amazing find.
[41:23]Do you guys ever stop like at the magazine rack
[41:25]in like a store, like a grocery store,
[41:28]and they've got all these magazines?
[41:30]- Nope, gonna stop you right there, nope.
[41:32]- You said nope, you never do that?
[41:33]- Nope, never.
[41:35]- What, you never stop at the magazine rack?
[41:37]- All I know is that my kid once picked up
[41:38]a Taylor Swift magazine, and I said, oh, okay.
[41:40]And I put it in, and it was like, oh, okay.
[41:41]And it was like $22.
[41:43]I was like, what the fuck is this, a $22 magazine?
[41:46]I got scammed by my kids.
[41:48]- Well, so the other day I'm going through
[41:50]Lund's and Byerly's, and I was walking by,
[41:52]and this magazine jumped out to me.
[41:53]And at first I was thinking like,
[41:55]why would they have this type of magazine there?
[41:57]I took a picture of it.
[41:58]I was gonna send it to all you guys.
[41:59]Then I decided, you know what?
[42:01]For $13.99, I just have to buy it.
[42:04]The magazine is called "Hulk Hogan,
[42:06]"The Unbelievable True Story."
[42:09]- Wow.
[42:11]- It's a magazine that I purchased for my birthday gift.
[42:15]There is a section-
[42:17]- Go to some of the last pages.
[42:18]I wanna see if they have one thing.
[42:19]Go to some of the last pages.
[42:20]I gotta see.
[42:21]- Yeah, I didn't know that.
[42:22]- Rob?
[42:23]- What's that?
[42:24]- So before we get to the scandals,
[42:28]there is a page where they reference
[42:30]all the marketing of Hulk Hogan
[42:32]and Hulk Hogan's Potsdamania.
[42:34]- Wow.
[42:35]- No way.
[42:35]- It's in the magazine, the true story.
[42:38]- That's good, 'cause Aaron's book
[42:39]turned out to be a huge cocktease.
[42:40]It never came to fruition.
[42:42]- It never came out.
[42:42]It never happened.
[42:43]I still follow that person on Twitter.
[42:45]They never published the book.
[42:47]- So if you do get about 30 pages into Hulk Hogan,
[42:50]"The Unbelievable True Story,"
[42:52]you do get to the scandals section.
[42:55]- The scandals.
[42:55]- Wow.
[42:56]So there's about five or six pages on the scandals
[42:58]with some stories about Bubble the Love Sponge.
[43:01]- Yes.
[43:02]- And how he deep-dicked his wife.
[43:03]- Oh, they went with Hollywood Hogan.
[43:05]- Her name is Heather.
[43:06]- Her name is Heather, too.
[43:07]They really like-
[43:08]- You know her name?
[43:08]- Oh.
[43:09]- You're on a first name basis.
[43:10]- I happen to be a big Bubble the Love Sponge fan
[43:13]while this happened.
[43:14]I listened to him on Sirius.
[43:16]- Oh, that's a real thing.
[43:17]They're Bubble the Love Sponge fans.
[43:20]- Yeah, and I currently listen to a show
[43:21]about shock jocks, exclusively, where they talk about them.
[43:25]So I will say, I, listen,
[43:27]if you had seen Heather, Bubble the Love Sponge's wife,
[43:30]if he offered for you to give her a,
[43:33]what's a wrestling move that sounds like sex?
[43:36]Somebody come on.
[43:36]- Belly to back suplex?
[43:39]- Oh, yes.
[43:40]Russell, you nailed it.
[43:41]- Cripple to cross face?
[43:42]- Oh, okay.
[43:43]- Matt?
[43:45]- Don't say-
[43:48]- Piledriver?
[43:49]- What's the one-
[43:50]- Don't say DDT, 'cause that's what I was gonna say.
[43:51]- I don't know.
[43:54]- Hey, you wanna do some DDT?
[43:55]- I don't know.
[43:56]I can't pull any wrestling moves out of the top of my head.
[43:57]- The one thing, the last question I was gonna ask you guys
[44:00]is about the magazine, actually, though.
[44:02]If you were to say, let's say you work late,
[44:04]and then you come home,
[44:05]and you have to go on a podcast shortly after,
[44:06]you only have a certain amount of time
[44:08]to spend with your musical theater goer.
[44:10]- Right.
[44:11]- Do they have a right to be upset
[44:11]if some of that time was spent
[44:13]while you were reading your Hulk Hogan birthday magazine
[44:15]that you purchased for yourself?
[44:16]- That's a cheesy butt.
[44:17]- Absolutely not, Russell.
[44:19]You are a real American, okay?
[44:21]You wanna read about America's greatest hero, Hulk Hogan,
[44:24]who has never done anything wrong, really, okay?
[44:26]Except for that, a couple of those scandals,
[44:28]I would guess, are really bad.
[44:30]You should be able to read about that if you want.
[44:32]That should be your right.
[44:33]Now, if you were pulling out like a "Big Boss Man" one,
[44:35]I'd be like, "Nah, I don't know about that."
[44:37]It's Hulk Hogan, for God's sakes.
[44:38]- But I think you should read it aloud, too.
[44:40]- Ooh.
[44:40]- The enthusiast, in a romantic way.
[44:43]That's really the only way it counts.
[44:43]- Maybe I'll wake her up early tomorrow and do that.
[44:45]- Yes.
[44:46]- Russell, do you have that in front of you?
[44:47]Can you read a little bit of it
[44:48]in a Hulk Hogan voice right now?
[44:49]Just pick a random page.
[44:50]Let's hear it.
[44:51]And keep in mind, we are trying to keep this short.
[44:52]- The choke challenge?
[44:53]How about that one?
[44:55]- I did that all the time in junior high.
[44:57]- At the urging of talk show host, Richard Belzer, brother,
[45:02]Hulk Hogan placed him in a chokehold above.
[45:05]Belzer passed out and fell to the stage floor.
[45:08]- Wow. - Brother.
[45:09]- And set some sushi, blah.
[45:11]- I, Rob, you might have to edit this out,
[45:14]but I gotta say that this theater enthusiast
[45:16]slash great birthday giver sounds like the kind of person
[45:18]that you'd want to--
[45:19]- Oh, Aaron.
[45:20]Aaron, whoa, Aaron.
[45:22]What did you just say, guys?
[45:23]What I just edited out was so sick.
[45:26]Aaron used the term DDT in a way I've never,
[45:28]Aaron used terms that I'm gonna write down
[45:31]as search terms later today.
[45:32]- I would consider some sort of binding contract
[45:35]to keep this person near me for a long period of time.
[45:38]If it were me.
[45:39]- That's just me.
[45:40]- Aaron.
[45:41]- That's the kind of thing I'd be thinking about.
[45:42]- And I edited out where you said foot binding.
[45:43]- Hey, Aaron, could you not make that physical motion
[45:46]of the pile driver while you were talking like that?
[45:49]- Aaron, that is so sick.
[45:50]- You know what?
[45:51]If I could get a magazine from anyone else
[45:53]and learn their unbelievable true story,
[45:54]I would pick Matt.
[45:55]Matt Rowling going, "How's it going with you?"
[45:57]That would be a great one.
[45:58]Controversies.
[45:59]- Good, I'll try to keep it short.
[46:01]Camel Clutch, Rob.
[46:02]That'll be my wrestling rule, Camel Clutch.
[46:04]- Oh, that's the winner.
[46:06]- Not a search term I'm gonna use.
[46:09]Magic Mike, you know, this guy, he's an Instagram hero.
[46:14]He's pretty darn good, guys.
[46:17]He's pretty darn good.
[46:18]He was at, he went and saw Neil Young a couple of weeks ago.
[46:22]He goes to all sorts of concerts, but Neil Young,
[46:24]but he had a great line where he said,
[46:27]"You know you live in a small town
[46:28]when you're looking around
[46:30]and you see a bunch of failed Bumble dates
[46:32]or something like that."
[46:33]And I'm like, "That's pretty good."
[46:36]- Meanwhile, Timberwolves,
[46:37]now the Timberwolves dance team, and Russell's like,
[46:39]"Yeah, I get it.
[46:40]I get what you're saying."
[46:41]That wasn't a fail.
[46:43]- Oh yes, Russell.
[46:44]- That wasn't a fail.
[46:45]- You hit that shit, son.
[46:47]That's what, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute.
[46:48]That's what I'm talking about that, yes.
[46:51]Yes, tell me about your dance moves.
[46:53]Are you dancing to that "Hungry Eyes" song?
[46:56]- Rob, I may or may not have given her the atomic leg drop.
[47:00]- Coach Kaz, guys.
[47:05]Coach Kaz has a winning record at St. Olaf.
[47:08]- Career record. - Wow.
[47:09]- Coach Kaz is 352 and 345 in the MIAC.
[47:14]He's 266 and 275.
[47:16]So he's still under 500, you know, in the MIAC.
[47:20]But overall, so in 13, in 14, 15, 16, and 18,
[47:25]they took second place in 2017.
[47:29]So he had a run there, five year run,
[47:32]where four out of the five years they were second place
[47:34]and they won the MIAC playoff championship twice.
[47:36]So he's had some, he's had some,
[47:39]some spurts there, but he has,
[47:40]has a winning record at St. Olaf.
[47:42]I would have lost a lot of money.
[47:44]- Get that man a serving of lutefisk.
[47:46]- Right.
[47:47]- For you, coach.
[47:49]- Listen, I had some spurts down at that athletic center too.
[47:51]So I get it.
[47:52]- Get that man some Cook's sparkling wine.
[47:56]- Guys, I love pickleball.
[47:58]- Hey, I've got a, I, I joined a,
[48:02]I got in with the young kids,
[48:04]some, some attorneys from across the hall,
[48:07]challenged our young analysts.
[48:09]It was four on three and they needed a fourth.
[48:11]So I joined September 8th, there was a park in Richfield,
[48:16]12 noon, Friday, 12 noon, and pickleball challenge is on.
[48:19]So I, I love pickleball too, it's fun.
[48:22]I just, I have, there's nowhere to play.
[48:24]I mean, I have nobody to play with.
[48:25]- Hey man.
[48:25]- You can't go with the old folks.
[48:26]- Can I just ask this about your pickleball?
[48:28]How's your dink?
[48:29]You got a good dink?
[48:31]- Huh?
[48:32]- How's your dink?
[48:33]- Dink.
[48:34]- You got a good dink, man?
[48:35]- I can't hear you over the music.
[48:37]Sorry, no, I'm kidding.
[48:38]- No, I honestly, I don't.
[48:39]I play with my kids and that's about it.
[48:41]So I, against them, I'm pretty good,
[48:43]but I need to work on it.
[48:44]So that's good.
[48:46]That's all I got quick, quick and short.
[48:47]How was that Rosie?
[48:48]I keep it short for you.
[48:49]- That's wonderful.
[48:50]- Rob, how's it going for you?
[48:51]- Loved it.
[48:52]- Listen, all of our cohabitations love the quick and short.
[48:54]Can I just say this about Magic Mike too?
[48:56]He did send in a text to the Beck line.
[48:58]He said he has got a,
[49:00]somebody's got a side gig at the,
[49:02]the, the place that shall not be named.
[49:04]And all they have to do is wear a red shirt.
[49:06]So he sent me a picture of a red,
[49:08]- He owns a red Beck Did It Better shirt?
[49:11]- Beck Did It Better shirt.
[49:12]- What a hero.
[49:13]- He is a true hero.
[49:14]So folks, if you see a guy wearing a red
[49:17]Beck Did It Better shirt, there's a chance.
[49:19]That's Magic Mike.
[49:20]- What a hero.
[49:21]- There's a chance.
[49:22]- Wow.
[49:22]I didn't even know those existed.
[49:23]- Wow.
[49:24]- He must've had it custom made.
[49:26]- I think maybe he bought it off of our Teespring store
[49:29]where you can still go.
[49:30]I think that and a notebook might've been the two purchases.
[49:32]It's hard to keep track of that.
[49:33]It moves so fast these days with e-commerce and whatnot.
[49:36]- The four of us put a bunch of money
[49:38]into buying our first tier of friends shirts.
[49:41]Like second tier friends didn't get them.
[49:43]And this poor bastard who listens and texts all the time,
[49:45]he had to pay for his own.
[49:46]- Spends his own dollars.
[49:48]- Listen, I sent him a bunch of shirts,
[49:49]but it went to some hotel in Las Vegas, never to be open.
[49:51]So you just don't know.
[49:54]- And if you're listening to this
[49:55]and you didn't get a shirt,
[49:56]that means you are second tier.
[49:58]I'm sorry.
[49:59]- Second tier, oh no.
[50:00]Jeez, I'm trying to think who I.
[50:01]- Oh no.
[50:03]Listen, it's a part you've been trying to avoid,
[50:05]but we do have to make fun of Aaron.
[50:08]And I got to find where I've hidden that one.
[50:09]Let's get into it.
[50:10]Do we have to?
[50:11]- I didn't want to do such a thing.
[50:13]- It's time to make fun.
[50:15]- I haven't done anything.
[50:16]- Now Aaron, when you were in Portland,
[50:18]when you were in Portland, who paid for that hotel?
[50:20]- Who paid for the hotel?
[50:22]- Yeah, who paid for the hotel?
[50:24]- My employer.
[50:25]- Okay.
[50:26]So I got to ask, where is your employer picking you up?
[50:29]Because you guys know I edit these podcasts.
[50:30]This is what it, listen to what,
[50:32]listen to what I'm dealing with
[50:33]on the edit of this podcast, okay?
[50:35]This is coming from Aaron's room.
[50:36]- It's very Jante's Law.
[50:38]- I love you.
[50:38]- A replacements fan wouldn't want it higher.
[50:40]Wow.
[50:41]- Thanks.
[50:42]- Nailed it.
[50:43]- It's ranking.
[50:44]- So Aaron, how is there a car that clearly in your room?
[50:50]Like, are you down in the parking garage?
[50:53]Where are they keeping you?
[50:54]What kind of place are they putting you in?
[50:55]- I chose a hotel in downtown Portland
[50:58]where people told me I should not stay
[51:00]because it's not nice.
[51:02]Turns out downtown Portland is very nice.
[51:04]Like, yes, there's a lot of people using drugs,
[51:07]but they're,
[51:07]they're just doing drugs on the street.
[51:09]And like you walk by them and they're, you know, fine.
[51:11]It's very peaceful.
[51:12]But yeah, it did turn out to be pretty loud.
[51:15]There were a lot of cars rolling by on a Thursday night,
[51:18]more than I might've expected.
[51:20]And yeah, it was a little bit louder
[51:22]than I thought it might've been.
[51:23]But the ironic thing is,
[51:25]- Yeah, I-
[51:28]- No, it was a nice, it was a Kempton.
[51:29]It was the-
[51:30]- Aaron's like, "It was so cheap by the hour."
[51:32]- No, I chose the most expensive option
[51:34]because they wouldn't let me fly business select
[51:36]on Southwest.
[51:37]That's like one of our policies.
[51:38]So I was like, well,
[51:39]if you're not going to fly business select,
[51:40]I'm going to choose the most expensive hotel room,
[51:42]which turned out to be the one that was next
[51:44]to the loud traffic,
[51:45]which you had to deal with in the edit, Rob.
[51:48]- Business select on Southwest,
[51:49]you get to pick your seat really first.
[51:52]You like to get to get way up there.
[51:53]- Yeah, right?
[51:55]- Get to rush it.
[51:56]- That's where I'm at.
[51:56]- All right, Aaron.
[51:57]So you were actually, it was actually a nice hotel.
[51:58]What, like, how do you sleep in that
[52:00]when it's so loud out there?
[52:01]I couldn't believe how loud that car was.
[52:02]That was crazy.
[52:03]- I slept, I slept okay.
[52:05]It was a nice hotel.
[52:06]Nice, they have a free happy hour from 5:00 to 6:00 PM.
[52:09]They, the fitness room looked like a dungeon,
[52:11]which I really, I liked that about a fitness room,
[52:13]except it didn't have a pull-up bar,
[52:15]which like, that's the only thing I wanted to do.
[52:17]I just wanted to go down and do some pull-ups
[52:19]and that was it.
[52:20]And there was no pull-up bar, so that was it.
[52:22]- The one piece of equipment you could bring with you
[52:24]to a hotel, if you think about it.
[52:26]- A pull-up bar?
[52:27]- Yeah.
[52:28]- I guess you could find a travel pull-up bar.
[52:29]I do need a pull-up bar for my house.
[52:31]I don't have one yet.
[52:31]- Where else are you going to put your belt?
[52:34]All right.
[52:34]- Yikes.
[52:35]- Let's get into, let's talk about the album.
[52:40]- Oh, a movie podcast?
[52:42]- Let's talk about the album.
[52:43]- Oh yeah.
[52:46]- Um, by the way, when I hear you traveling to Portland,
[52:49]I mean, all I can think of is Dame Lillard.
[52:52]All right, let's get, what?
[52:57]- It's an NBA rules joke.
[52:59]The referees don't call traveling in the NBA.
[53:02]So Dame Lillard is the point guard, he travels all the time.
[53:05]- Yeah, I was like, I think of Dame in Portland as well.
[53:08]That just makes sense, it's not even funny.
[53:10]- Listen, this is Oasis' "What's the Story of Morning Glory?"
[53:14]Second album, 1995.
[53:16]Basically Oasis is two brothers, right?
[53:18]One writes all the songs, one has a high nasally voice.
[53:21]Noel Gallagher produced, and when he made this album,
[53:24]he really focused on having absolute, oh God,
[53:27]absolute giant, huge choruses.
[53:30]- I am curious about who's playing drums on this album.
[53:32]We'll get into it.
[53:33]I'm curious about the drums on this album.
[53:35]- They actually had a new drummer for this album.
[53:36]It was, there's one, the old guy on one song
[53:39]and all the new guy on all the other songs.
[53:42]- I think they're using a drum machine on some of it.
[53:43]I like the Ringo type sound, but.
[53:45]- This is a huge song, this is a huge album for England.
[53:49]I always knew Oasis, it was like,
[53:51]they were like, this is a huge band.
[53:52]And I was like, then why does nobody I know in 1995,
[53:55]why is nobody into them?
[53:56]And it turns out they are a massive band in Britain.
[53:59]This was number one for 10 weeks on the British charts.
[54:03]It was on the, Wonderwall was up there for three weeks.
[54:04]Now listen to this, during this time,
[54:07]Oasis played a concert, okay, at Nebsworth.
[54:10]They did two nights, 125,000 people each night.
[54:13]The day the tickets went on sale,
[54:16]5% of the British population applied for a ticket.
[54:20]- Rob, who, you were in high school when this was going on.
[54:24]You listened to They Might Be Giants,
[54:25]but you didn't know anybody who listened to this album.
[54:28]Who were you hanging out with?
[54:29]- Hey, Brian, that's a fair question.
[54:31]- I mean, like everybody I knew,
[54:31]this was like unbelievably large, huge, you know?
[54:34]At all of my, you know, I, this is like a top five.
[54:38]I probably listened to this album.
[54:40]- Really?
[54:41]- More than most Pearl Jam albums, you know,
[54:43]in a certain time.
[54:44]I don't know.
[54:44]This is a huge album.
[54:45]- I mostly hung out, I mostly hung out with Tall Jimmy.
[54:49]Who else was I hanging out with?
[54:51]- Did he have the deep voice or was he the high voice?
[54:53]- He had a high, very high voice.
[54:54]- Oh, okay.
[54:55]- Okay.
[54:56]That's when we said he was up there,
[54:57]we weren't talking about his height.
[54:58]We were talking about his vocal register, okay?
[55:02]Don't be sad, Aaron.
[55:03]By the way, I was number 85.
[55:04]- Number 80th on the choir.
[55:05]Yes, nailed it.
[55:05]Got in there.
[55:06]And basically it was like this,
[55:09]like there are a massive band in the UK.
[55:13]And basically this is a great example
[55:15]of what they call Britpop,
[55:16]which is basically blur, suede, pulp.
[55:20]I mean, I got a couple of examples coming up here,
[55:22]but some of the bands don't like that term, Britpop.
[55:24]It's kind of this reference to the 90s.
[55:27]It's alternative music, but it's more poppy.
[55:29]We start with Hello,
[55:30]which strangely starts with the opening to Wonderwall.
[55:33]And then it goes into the different song, it's bizarre.
[55:38]- I mean, right from the start,
[55:40]they're doing Beatles songs, right?
[55:41]They're doing Beatles stuff.
[55:43]Like, oh, we're referencing ourselves, that kind of thing.
[55:45]- Well, I think that's what the ultimately the biggest knock
[55:48]on the old Britpop thing is.
[55:50]Everybody thought it was just like the next generation
[55:52]of the Beatles and everybody's trying to redo that.
[55:55]So that's at least what I've heard about the Britpop label.
[56:00]- I do like that sound.
[56:02]I think they sort of deepened it.
[56:03]I like that deep snare sound.
[56:04]Like that sounds really, really good to me.
[56:06]Next up, we have Roll With It,
[56:11]which is one of their singles off this album.
[56:13]It got in a, what they called the Battle of the Britpop,
[56:17]because this got all the way up to number two.
[56:19]And number one was a song called Country House by Blur.
[56:25]I'm gonna play for that for you next year.
[56:26]- Oh, I do always hear that.
[56:29]I don't think I like this song.
[56:30]- Here's Country House.
[56:31]♪ Hit it, I'm payin' the price ♪
[56:33]♪ Never got enough to pay ♪
[56:34]- Another example of Britpop here.
[56:35]♪ Caught up in the centuries of anxiety ♪
[56:39]♪ Yes, I've got it on hand ♪
[56:40]- Wow, these are the singers who did the song too, right?
[56:43]- And I can promise you,
[56:44]because I'm trying to keep this episode short,
[56:45]that's the only Blur song you're gonna hear on this episode.
[56:49]- Woo hoo!
[56:51]- Is that a Blur?
[56:52]- Woo hoo!
[56:53]- Well, just, I mean, just, just to be clear,
[56:55]like people, if you hear that lead singer there,
[56:58]I mean, that's the lead, Blur turned into the Gorillaz,
[57:02]you know, so that guy, I forget,
[57:03]I forget his name, Damon Albarn or something like that.
[57:06]- Oh, right, yeah.
[57:07]- You know, so that's, I mean, he,
[57:09]that guy is completely underrated as a musician
[57:13]and what he's brought to the world,
[57:14]so that's why Gorillaz are phenomenal.
[57:18]I don't know if anybody's ever seen them live,
[57:19]but they're touring right now,
[57:20]and they're not coming to Minneapolis, and that sucks.
[57:23]- They're still touring?
[57:25]- Yeah.
[57:26]- Aren't they just cartoons?
[57:27]I thought they were just cartoons.
[57:28]What am I, I'm, oh, God.
[57:31]- No, that's just, that's just
[57:33]- Oh, yeah, that's Dr. Teeth.
[57:35]Dr. Teeth will come before, before they do.
[57:38]This is a Wonderwall, of course we know it, we love it.
[57:40]Fourth song off the album.
[57:41]Guys, this was up for two different Grammy awards in 2000
[57:46]and, or in 1996.
[57:49]- Two nominations or wins?
[57:50]- Two nominations, okay?
[57:53]So check us out.
[57:54]So if we have Oasis, listen to this.
[57:56]They're up for best rock performance
[57:57]by a duo or group of vocal.
[57:59]Guess who wins that?
[58:00]- Who?
[58:01]- So Much To Say by Dave Matthews Band.
[58:03]- What?
[58:04]- Okay.
[58:04]- We should have talked about Dave Matthews
[58:06]in the poop this week.
[58:07]- But listen, you also have Stupid Girl by Garbage,
[58:10]1979 by the Smashing Pumpkins,
[58:12]Sixth Avenue Heartache by the Wallflowers.
[58:13]- Jeez.
[58:14]- That sounds good too.
[58:15]- A killer year, and listen to this.
[58:17]So the next one they didn't win was Best Rock Song, okay?
[58:21]They went up against Too Much by Dave Matthews.
[58:23]Russ, sing a little of that for us, please.
[58:26]♪ You talk too much ♪
[58:29]- Too Much is a rock song?
[58:31]- We do.
[58:32]- Is that it?
[58:33]♪ Can we dump our sewage too much, too much ♪
[58:36]Stupid Girl by Garbage, Sixth Avenue Heartache, of course.
[58:39]And then the winner is Give Me One Reason by Tracy Chapman.
[58:42]Tracy Chapman coming in again
[58:44]and smushing one of our artists in the Grammys.
[58:45]- I think of all those songs you mentioned.
[58:46]- Again, another rock song?
[58:48]- Yeah.
[58:49]- I mean, even just like the best,
[58:50]I probably shouldn't do this, but the best alternative,
[58:53]guys, so the best alternative, album Smashing Pumpkins,
[58:57]R.E.M., New Adventures of Hi-Fi, Tori Amos.
[59:01]But guys, guess who won a Grammy?
[59:03]At the 39th Annual Grammy Award for his album, Odele.
[59:07]- Oh!
[59:07]- Who's that?
[59:08]- Beck.
[59:09]So guys, if you're gonna ask who's the best
[59:11]at winning Grammys, okay?
[59:13]- In 1996.
[59:14]- At the 39th Annual Grammy Award, Russell?
[59:17]- I'd say Beck did it better.
[59:19]- Oh, yes.
[59:20]- That was so good.
[59:21]- But you're giving away the punchline here, Rob.
[59:24]This album, as great as the great songs are,
[59:27]does not hold up to other '90s rock.
[59:30]It's not better than Smashing Pumpkins.
[59:32]And I think it's not gonna hold up to other '90s rock.
[59:35]It's not gonna hold up to other '90s rock.
[59:37]It's gonna hold up to other '90s rock.
[59:38]It's gonna hold up to other '90s rock.
[59:39]I think it's gonna hold up to other '90s rock.
[59:40]I think it's gonna hold up to other '90s rock.
[59:41]It's gonna hold up to other '90s rock.
[59:42]I think it's gonna hold up to other '90s rock.
[59:43]I think it's gonna hold up to other '90s rock.
[59:44]I think it's gonna hold up to other '90s rock.
[59:45]I think it's gonna hold up to other '90s rock.
[59:46]I think it's gonna hold up to other '90s rock.
[59:47]I think it's gonna hold up to other '90s rock.
[59:48]I think it's gonna hold up to other '90s rock.
[59:49]album is great top to bottom i think there's some real filler in here i also i was texting a
[59:56]listener about this today i've realized i don't want violins in my rock and roll ever so that's
[60:00]a problem for me like i noticed that on that the neil young album we did long ago like i don't want
[60:05]any violins in my rock and roll it sounds like the verse i just aaron you should aaron why don't you
[60:09]just go and take a dave matthews dump all over beck's dad david campbell who does strings all
[60:14]over these rock albums but you hate you hate wildflowers you're gonna catch me yes you're
[60:19]gonna catch me in guns and roses november rain you're gonna catch cno so i should say more often
[60:25]than not but i don't think i don't think this is better than devil went down to georgia lick my
[60:31]taint you're out you suck yeah yeah i don't want my colonies to be bittersweet yeah okay that's a
[60:37]fiddle fiddle is different than violin i'm talking about the orchestral is it it is huh all right man
[60:44]you have thoughts
[60:44]though i mean i was just gonna say this is not better than 10 we're gonna hear 10 in less than
[60:50]a month and it's gonna fucking blow this out of the water yeah yeah it does so but but this but
[60:57]this this is caught this brit pop is caught in the middle right so you've got let's just for you
[61:03]brought it up let's bring up 10 let's bring up the grunge rock that came out in the early 90s and then
[61:08]let's talk about like jacob dylan let's talk about rem that happened like it's like it fits right in
[61:14]the middle uh you know they have some really hard heavy guitars then you got these poppy songs that
[61:19]kind of fill it but it's a little bit more stadium songs than it is like jacob you know i don't know
[61:25]it's like this you can't define i can't define this album and where it is you know in the in the
[61:31]grand spectrum of things so you know when you said like tori amos is in the rock best rock song when
[61:37]i'm like this is you know i don't know i i think everybody's confused as to what the hell is going
[61:42]on from a labeling of these albums you know what the songs are so why do you have to i guess is
[61:48]there anything harder than judging music from 1995 because some of it just fucking rocks it just whips
[61:54]yeah right like some of it just fucking whips and that's i mean it whips a llama's ass and that's
[61:58]why we know about it and that's why we think it whips like i i yeah i think this is a great example
[62:03]like if you if this was a huge record for you growing up i bet you love this shit and i do
[62:07]enjoy i like this album but when you listed like that that
[62:11]wallflowers album like i might rather listen to that or melancholy in the infinite infinite
[62:16]sadness i might actually rather listen to that but i don't maybe that's just a gut feeling but
[62:19]russell you started the conversation and i i i could be way off on this i think this is a terrible
[62:27]car album i was listening to it this is in my car speakers and i could not differentiate the
[62:32]instruments it was just kind of like a drone i don't know if you guys heard that at all like if
[62:36]i if i were gonna headphones i could go ahead well no can i explain why that is man are you
[62:41]gonna say something because i got an explanation no no you go first and i got so so russell this is
[62:46]one of the albums pointing to when they talk about brick walling or the loudness wars of the early
[62:51]to late 90s early 2000s right now we put out our podcast it is leveled at 14 luffs which is like a
[62:58]what they use amazon music is 14 luffs apple podcast is 14 luffs that's a unit of loudness
[63:04]okay this whole album is that negative instead of negative 14 it's at negative six so it's way
[63:10]louder incredibly loud and in fact if you look at do you guys see the uh the wave on my thing of
[63:16]what it looks like they're all maxed out every single one of them compare this with faith this
[63:21]is george michael faith interesting so everything on this is loud loud this entire album is loud
[63:26]and if you look up one of the other albums like saint anger was an album where it got so loud
[63:30]that it started to peak and that's when there's so much data coming through just it gets cut off
[63:34]you can't hear the note and so this is so close to that that's a big part of this russell's this is
[63:39]the one of the albums that i've been listening to for a long time and i've been listening to it for
[63:40]the pinnacle of loud albums i did not know that but i my ears heard something that i did not like
[63:46]in the in car speakers i could not differentiate the music i could hear the hooks and everything
[63:52]but i couldn't hear any of the instruments and i think i think a lot of this comes in when you
[63:56]don't have great singing and i don't know if he's not a great singer or not but i think
[64:00]noel which one which one no one's don't they both sing i don't know noah's one of them saying
[64:05]wonderwall and one of them saying uh it's it's it's definitely the brother that was smashing all
[64:10]those smashers and it's definitely the brother that was smashing all those smashers and it's
[64:10]those water like i don't think he's got the greatest voice like it fits for this band right
[64:15]but like if you don't have a great voice just turn everything else up and make it loud you know bleed
[64:19]it out so the only thing i was gonna say is you know this is wonderwall it's such a great song
[64:24]it's easy to sing to everybody loves it and it's you know it's turned into like the soccer anthem
[64:29]right you know when they sing and so like rob i think you got a clip mostly in britain right
[64:35]yeah i mean all in britain so you go to man city you know manchester city so one of the gallagher i
[64:40]from manchester you know but they just sing it and it's just awesome when you hear it when you've
[64:46]got like actual soccer fans who like actually know the sport of soccer this is the thing i mean these
[64:52]are real soccer fans in england right you know what i mean like they really know they're super
[64:55]into it they are super into it and they're from man city so they're singing the song from man
[64:59]like there's a there's a reason behind it you know the oasis they're huge man city fans stuff
[65:05]like that so yeah so that's so i don't know it's really cool when you hear like actual soccer fans
[65:10]that is really cool that you could be like a part of something big like that like a i mean they're
[65:14]one of the best teams in the in the world right man city it'd be super fun to go to a game and
[65:18]like be able to sing along with that tune yeah uh wonderwall let's listen to it this is the first
[65:24]song from the 90s to hit a billion streams on spotify oh on spotify i was just i like to think
[65:31]i helped with that but it was mostly napster in russell's dorm room so no yes i mean we've
[65:36]we've heard some other albums with great songs in like the top four i think led zeppelin four
[65:40]had like the first four songs we're all crushers i don't know about the first two but you put
[65:45]wonderwall it's gonna be the day that they're gonna throw it but that one that's coming after

[67:28]your senior year after that speaking of choruses russell though this was voted by nme the british
[67:35]magazine as one of the as number one on the 50 most explosive
[67:40]choruses of all time oh guys you know agree that's number one when i see a pre-made list
[67:48]i gotta make that my list it's a pretty explosive chorus that is an explosive course now i went
[67:53]through the explosive choruses according to any enemy and i did not pick any songs that we've
[67:59]already done okay i love it okay russell very russell of lake of you i just looked at the top
[68:05]18 and i also didn't pick songs that i didn't care about coming in at 18 tell me if you think and i
[68:10]was the scat man on that list or not i'm trying to think i'm a scat man you know who was in that
[68:18]one of the most explosive choruses of all time who's that the big bopper i would say that was
[68:25]one of the more explosive i don't know i haven't read the ffa report on that one i'm not sure oh
[68:29]no i'm not gonna guys and i just want to point out do you see the willpower i have
[68:34]not having a call am i am i strong my hero
[68:40]yes i am actually hey sully lick my balls i'm a hero now i'm here now sully not the right movie
[68:47]but sully rob are we are we doing these in order did you do an alphabetical order the way they
[68:52]should be number 18 i put a little bit of the pre-chorus or a little bit of the bridge in here

[69:52]do you think explosive are there division three schools that are trying to do like the virginia
[69:59]tech entrances with this music there's got to be right somebody where there's like 50 people on a
[70:03]saturday and they're like bumping up like i think it's kind of a similar situation like when
[70:07]colleges are stealing jump around from man city
[70:10]right yes i would say that's exactly the same russell that's a great point you guys are so
[70:16]smart today check us out that's funny i don't i can't oasis can't be the top
[70:24]on this list i'm gonna play it again we'll see what you think
[70:29]aaron you guys know my theory on bon jovi bon jovi the greatest
[70:34]jukebox or bar band ever if they if bon jovi comes on and you're at a bar everyone's gonna
[70:40]be singing with that song yep everyone's in next up guys another brit pop this is one of the few
[70:47]that starts with it oh yes right yeah this will blow the doors off right pretty simple to see
[70:58]that's a chorus right there at number five okay british band rolling stones with i can't get no
[71:10]i don't know guys i mean it's a good chorus does explode though i don't think it's as explosive
[71:20]though no no way not like that's like you've had one pineapple truly you've that's not expensive
[71:27]enough now of course in my many years in the saint olaf choir i of course learned what a chorus was
[71:31]i have to admit i looked i had to look it up for this song and it turns out it's right coming up
[71:39]right
[71:40]right
[71:40]here death punk niles rogers
[71:43]this cannot this is ridiculous it's a great chorus there's nothing explosive about it's a very fun
[71:51]song but i wouldn't call it explosive at all wow like what i mean i don't know a enemy you're on
[71:59]notice okay you're about to be our enemy uh and last at number two
[72:10]you know maybe it's just the version of that we're listening to it's not clean and it's not
[72:15]pumped up it's just hard to talk i want to dance with somebody and living on a prayer like and
[72:22]interesting man like those three have to be the top three okay can i just say something to you
[72:27]guys real quick and you promise not to be mad at me promise you promise not to be me have another
[72:31]list of uh crash test which i did you guys know how i was on way on vacation yeah my mouse just
[72:39]ran out of batteries and i can't use it when i'm charging to look at this look at this awesome
[72:42]design and i can't do anything on the show without my mouse wait wait a minute so we just keep
[72:51]talking wait a minute you know what you gotta track that yeah that was the top five list for
[72:57]sure that was at least top two lists of today so well let's let's go back here right let's
[73:03]pretty explosive let's just see do we think this is better than any of those ones i would say the
[73:09]bon jovi song i think is the one that gives that rivals yeah this is up there god you can hear how
[73:17]loud this is too compared to those other songs for real it's a pretty good chorus you educated
[73:26]me on the volume thing that makes complete sense in my head now why i was not enjoying it while
[73:31]listening in my car totally uh next up hey now sorry russell you gave me a compliment i was
[73:38]distracted thank you
[73:39]so much that's what i meant to say do we think any of the remasters because there's a remastered
[73:43]deluxe edition but then you end up with 40 tracks do we think that makes a difference i don't i think
[73:48]this is so far back i think this is so far back in the process i don't know if you can unmask because
[73:53]that's why we see so many masters in the 90s is they just literally made everything louder if you
[73:57]look like every remaster they're all louder when they're remastered in the 90s and now it doesn't
[74:02]matter because spotify literally caps the loudness so you can't make it doesn't have a high def option
[74:09]other string sources do so we're all listening to music in different ways yeah that's true uh
[74:15]swap song now this is the song they came out to it that big concert this is like their opening song
[74:21]i was like if i went to a concert and they opened this i'd be so mad it's also very very beatlesy
[74:27]it's from the music it's from the music sample yeah but this is like why they're walking out
[74:32]yeah like with metallic it does the good the bad i can see why they started the opening song it's
[74:37]just like a okay russell i'm ready to go
[74:39]kind of make fun but i will say aaron said he wanted more instrumentals and we got one
[74:42]i kind of every time this one came on it's only 40 seconds i kind of dug it i was like yeah i'll
[74:47]take it i like this one some might say this was the first single off this album i think you missed
[74:54]one what did i miss i missed one give it to me baby and all the girlies say he's pretty fly for a
[75:09]cat that was what you russell used to get offspring in a waste is confused oh and now he's in a way
[75:15]different place now he is a music expert because of our podcast that i had forgotten about that
[75:20]jesus christ it's kind of like the rembrandts and the replacements i mean i get it i get why you get
[75:26]him confused i get it some might say this is the first single off this album which just shows how
[75:31]stupid people are who do albums why would you make this the first single
[75:34]it's crazy you would just hear one
[75:39]wonderwall and be like oh that's one of the greatest songs of all time like i was gonna
[75:42]ask when i was listening to the album this there has to be a mistake when you've got
[75:46]wonderwall don't look back in anger neither of them are the opening track right you don't start
[75:51]out with a soft song they're both softer songs you don't start i guess you end you end with you
[75:59]end with champagne super perfect ending right the champagne is a perfect ending you know cast no
[76:09]is a skipper for me this is his well this is his homage to the lead singer of the verb
[76:14]are you serious not to be confused with when you're describing how the verb feels because
[76:21]that's an adverb hey you for this is for real this is for real knowledge the lead singer of the
[76:28]yeah no i made up a very boring fact it sounds like the first totally oh man wait is there a
[76:37]band called the verve and a band called the
[76:39]verve pipe yes the verve pipe did freshman the verve did beatle street symphony wow very different
[76:45]bands what and what about el verve costello guys sometimes you come in with a perfect
[76:56]cap around a joke and that was one of those examples kobe from deep nailed it
[77:00]uh and guess what the second hat was also good uh she's electric this is people compare this to oh
[77:09]yo kind of a john lennon oh yoko sound she's in a family full of i like this one kind of a little
[77:15]bob head bopper right this is why they get the brit pop you know you just try to put him something
[77:22]else and you hear this song you're like okay well you're a brit pop because you could hear this in
[77:26]the background when you hear somebody say like do i make you randy baby yeah
[77:30]are you horny baby yeah by the way a show not a movie not to try to show your kids awesome power
[77:39]does not hold up uh why not you don't i don't want to be watching stuff with my kids where
[77:44]everybody's talking about how horny they are all the time like it's a lot that's one of his
[77:48]main things is how horny he is uh it's a normal male thing i listen to the verve baby yeah okay
[77:57]i tried to guys you know what that one getting edited out clank off the rim okay try it again
[78:03]with saying the verve pipe instead of the verve and see if it works i listen to the verve fight
[78:08]baby
[78:09]yeah that was a three-pointer i just won the mayak championship
[78:12]morning glory now listen to this guitar riff i want to have you guys listen to something
[78:17]you hear that guitar in the back
[78:21]yeah people pointed out that sure does sound a lot like a song that came out almost 20 years before
[78:29]rem the one i love oh it's exactly the same listen to this guitar again oh yeah yeah
[78:38]it's literally the exact same wow well they're not shy about i mean they're not shy about quoting
[78:48]other bands they quote loosing the sky with diamonds at the end of one of these tracks
[78:53]they literally lift beatles lyrics uh about tomorrow never knows they lift you know starting
[79:00]a revolution from my bed is about john and yoko like they're not shy about borrowing stuff so
[79:05]it's not surprising i noticed too that uh it went like this do do do do do do do do so i think that
[79:10]they're actually fine you're gonna get a spanking for that rob next week
[79:14]uh untitled instrumental swamp song part two there's a second part of the swamp song this
[79:24]part i was like this is pretentious we skipped over morning glory that is
[79:27]maybe the best song on the no no you play it but we kind of skip past it because we got to get
[79:32]rosie's buddies here but this
[79:34]you know their their two best songs are ballads right and i think they didn't want to be a ballad
[79:40]band and so this is probably like their best non-ballad song if that's a that's a thing you
[79:46]know but i love that about them i love this this persona of like badass rock dudes who go out and
[79:53]drink a thousand beers and have sex with about all the women break laws and then like they cannot
[79:58]help but mostly write beautiful melodies you know i mean it's just like i love that about them and i
[80:04]did used to think that their deal was like kayfabe right i used to think it was like oh they're just
[80:08]getting they haven't performed together since 2009 it's real bazillions of dollars and they will at
[80:14]some point they they probably get paid every time they play that song at man man united games right
[80:20]they probably get a royalty when every time it gets played at those soccer whoever the guitar
[80:24]player he's at every game and he's in the yeah he's a big fan he's good i'm a big soccer fan
[80:32]that we used to be in this bad offspring i love the verb tall jimmy i'm trying to see
[80:39]listen you just sat in front of my domestic partner she's trying to see am i gonna switch
[80:46]with her no listen i got the i got to get out so she can go to the bathroom i think that was the
[80:50]logic uh final the sixth and final single champagne supernova six singles off this album
[80:57]they perform this at the mtv music video awards or music awards and
[81:02]one of the brothers hit the other one with a tambourine which i thought was very funny because
[81:05]of the sound it would make
[81:06]matt you said this i think this is an all-time top three closing song for an album for the band that
[81:16]they are it fits perfectly here at the end you couldn't ask for more at the end could you
[81:21]this is a banger i'm trying and i'm drawing an absolute blank what's the final song on wild
[81:27]flowers by tom petty
[81:30]yeah
[81:32]i think the clash maybe had a song it was train in vain or something that was at the end that was
[81:37]when they just stuck on that wasn't they hadn't planned that i mean we know matt doesn't like it
[81:42]but purple rain like that's there that's oh yeah i mean right this way that's actually the best
[81:47]parallel i think this is a great this is a great great ending song it's such a good song even if
[81:53]you didn't love the album it makes you want to go start it over yes yeah because you listen to that
[81:57]song you're like i need to run that i need to flip it over i need to run it back right 100 right
[82:02]oh yeah this is it this is the ending to wildflowers again top five album at all time for
[82:07]me we'll get to it in the 200s or something like that it's a great documentary if you're flying
[82:12]delta right now about tom petty making this album you guys saw my fucking flight i had yesterday
[82:17]didn't you i couldn't see the screen i don't know maybe you didn't take the right picture you didn't
[82:21]have a video screen or something no screens and the wi-fi was down flying sun country that's only
[82:28]like a two-hour flight you don't need a screen on two and a half you're in rosie what rosie doesn't
[82:34]like this song though because it's got violins in it so i might as well shut up that makes sense
[82:38]well you know what we better get right to the rating system and that was the fucking wrong
[82:43]piece of shit you're correct ending ending with like awesome ballads that you just you end out
[82:50]and you're just like god that was a great album that's what champagne supernova was yeah yeah
[82:54]good call and it and it brings you you mentioned the
[82:57]ballads it brings you back to the two songs early in the album yeah that you loved yep right yeah
[83:03]you're like this is what's great about this album just like the albums we always finish strong with
[83:07]this bit our strongest bit of the show it's the rating system we are looking at this album at
[83:13]157 on the list rob but it's not our longest bit
[83:17]how many bits is duration or like how many bits in a bite uh here's the thing we have
[83:27]edit that shit out fuck fuck it's supposed to be our strongest part
[83:32]rob if you keep working it for a while it will get strong enough to where it needs to be
[83:41]it'll be long enough to progressive overload is the thing it's the science like foreskin you can
[83:46]hang weights on it to have it come back stronger than ever god rosie are your friends there yet
[83:50]did they show up no we got time actually they dang it tell them to hurry up so we get done
[83:55]just got their rental car so if you need a luxury
[83:57]rob you can go ahead oh this is sweet okay a process that bafflingly man you rent a lot of
[84:07]cars right what is it about fucking renting a car that takes so goddamn long you have my name
[84:13]the fucking car is right there just give me the fucking keys and let me go you have to just you
[84:17]sign up for their rewards program whatever like i forget national that's the brand i use
[84:23]yeah you walk right out you grab a car and you go it's the greatest thing
[84:27]but waiting in line is the worst are you sure you're not just feeling cars one-time renter
[84:32]one-time renter just join the club so you can get in there and just walk out and go
[84:36]157 on the list okay and of course that's what we care about oasis a band that a lot of us loved
[84:43]growing up okay maybe if you were just sitting in your basement okay watching wilson phillip
[84:48]replays uh the crying video jerking into kabuki steven tyler whatever don't it's so weird that it
[84:57]that video part is so weird i'm gonna say it again listen okay is this a rolling well toned okay that
[85:03]would be the perfect album right here 157 slots right in it's our first brit pop album is this a
[85:09]rolling boned it should have been higher up on the list listen this is a album that has a lot of hit
[85:15]songs i mean there's there's more good songs on this album than a lot of albums we've listened to
[85:18]lately or is this a rolling groan okay everybody thought oasis was a huge deal when we were younger
[85:25]i think mostly because they were mad at me i don't know i don't know i don't know i don't know
[85:27]mad at each other all the time and now i don't know do you still hear people who are like i just
[85:31]gotta play my oasis i gotta hear my oasis hey i'm at the gym turn on oasis i don't know is it
[85:36]rolling well toned rolling boned or rolling groan russell what do you think guys at first i was
[85:43]really confused because like i said it was listening to the car and i couldn't listen to
[85:47]it it seemed all jumbled up to me i couldn't make out the instruments and rob you talking
[85:51]about the volume thing makes perfect sense in my head now it's super cool but i have
[85:56]to say you guys know me what do i love commercial hits this has got wonderwall don't look back in
[86:02]anger champagne supernova you put those three songs on an album it has to be rated in the top
[86:07]150 or so so for me this has to be rolling well toned you can't put those three songs on an album
[86:13]and say it's too high on the list uh man what do you think rolling well toned rolling bone or
[86:18]what's the story of morning glory rolling bone this is at least a top 100 for me uh personally
[86:25]it's probably like a top 100 for me i think it's a top 100 for me i think it's a top 100 for me
[86:26]top 25 type of album so i'm just we've talked about it enough i'm gonna say rolling bone this
[86:32]should be way higher on the list for me do you think this album is hurt by a terrible name
[86:37]what's the story of morning glory oh i think that's a fantastic name yeah yeah right i think
[86:43]it's great yeah me too rolls i mean it's way better i mean like at least you don't like it
[86:46]i was trying to trick you guys not especially i mean it's a longish name like it's a longer name
[86:52]than it's just like blue or what's going on or i mean guys oasis is pretentious right can we agree
[86:58]to that they're a pretentious band like that and that's part of their appeal that's a pretentious
[87:02]ass title like it's true a big long ass title i don't know no you're right memorable isn't it
[87:08]yeah i guess i don't know i i don't this one didn't it's one i had to look up more than once
[87:14]aaron let me go aaron rolling well toned rolling bone or rolling grown what do you think of aaron
[87:18]this song what's the story
[87:22]morning morning glory glory it's gonna interrupt you but it really did make sense i i don't like
[87:29]this album being ahead of as i said stuff like 10 um again we mentioned whitney by whitney houston
[87:36]still not on the list so i relative to albums we haven't heard yet i don't think it's as good but
[87:41]it is better than some stuff we've already heard and russell's right the hits are amazing so i'm
[87:47]just going to give it a rolling well toned but it is more explosive than whitney according to
[87:52]nme disagree yeah it's the number one uh guys this gets a unfortunately you're all incorrect
[87:58]okay i hate to say that i'm gonna try to hurry this up okay this gets a rolling too off phone
[88:05]too often we've heard these songs too often how can you judge it this is like judging happy
[88:10]birthday like i don't know i don't know if it really like it's just it just exists that's true
[88:15]this is just the way it is like it's it's it's you cannot say where this should belong because
[88:21]for those of us who
[88:22]had cds that just stuck in the car or in the friend's car they're on a whole different like
[88:26]plane of existence next like this album exists because music exists right like what what else
[88:31]would there be next up do you guys know my mom had a rifle when i was growing up how are you still
[88:37]alive the only problem jesus christ aaron i'm trying to make a joke i've already said this
[88:42]is the best part of the show i'm trying to engage with your jokes i'm trying to provide some
[88:52]serious that's your excuse is that you're trying to make it better by saying that where do you think
[88:55]i'm going to go with that i don't know you opened the door with your mom had a gun so i don't know
[89:02]where are you excuse me no i said the wording is important my mom had a rifle growing up she kept
[89:07]covering it in glue she always has denied it but i'm i'm sticking to my guns sticking to my guns
[89:15]okay and that was worth yelling at airdat that was good we've got mama there's a great mama gun
[89:21]by erica
[89:22]you guys look up the offspring offspring americana has pretty fly for a white guy the kids aren't
[89:37]all right she's got issues walla walla why don't you get a job come on come on let's get the
[89:43]offspring i hate the offspring i just i i'm almost positive isn't the offspring another janitor led
[89:52]i think it might be i think it's our second janitor-led band that's the offspring we're
[89:55]gonna see when we get to that album i don't know if you guys uh if you've been following sports
[89:59]lately but i saw that messy started started playing for uh the miami soccer team and he's
[90:03]crushing everyone yeah they should just killing it goals all the time and everything they should
[90:08]probably get like a new goal song like what was that song we were listening to earlier matt
[90:12]wonderwall it'd be great yeah it'd be cool if like an american kind of weird i mean it'd be
[90:18]kind of weird though to have a european song come over to the state
[90:21]and like have a he should have an argentinian song i mean we should have like a replacement
[90:26]song or something you know for a minnesota i'm just saying it would be nice if the major
[90:30]league soccer would would use that song somewhere in the u.s right can you imagine running out at
[90:37]st. oaf basketball hearing that banger hey there's a 49.9 chance we're gonna win this game
[90:42]he's like the he's like the jeff fisher of the maya
[90:51]just like just good enough never causes problems keep him around the jeff fisher of the maya
[90:58]can you imagine if somebody called you that the jeff fisher of anything right like if you're the
[91:04]jeff fisher of your own house like it's not a good yeah
