[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.

[25:48]- Hold on. - No.

[25:49]- Right here.

[25:49]♪ I look up to you ♪

[25:52]- No, I had no idea. - No, I had no idea.

[25:54]But it comes up on your radio, you can see it.

[25:56]So, no, I love when that happens.

[25:58]When all of a sudden the song comes on,

[26:00]you're like, "God damn, that's a great song."

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

[26:04]- Oh man, I never knew that was the name of the song.

[26:06]That's incredible.

[26:07]- Yeah.

[26:09]Can I tell you- - Mine would be,

[26:10]mine would be, you guys remember the song?

[26:13]I feel like we used to sing this all the time

[26:14]together in college.

[26:15]If this were to come on and I'd be looking around,

[26:17]I feel like people would all be happy.

[26:18]It's "Hold On" by Wilson Phillips.

[26:21]- Oh. - Oh yeah.

[26:23]♪ Hold on for one more day ♪

[26:24]- Yeah.

[26:25]- Like you're telling me people aren't having fun

[26:27]while they're listening to this?

[26:28]Like you don't have a smile on your face?

[26:30]- No, that comes on, you're in.

[26:31]You're all in right from the start.

[26:33]♪ Open your heart ♪

[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

[67:35]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

[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
