Beck Does It Again: Buddy Holly: 20 Golden Greats (1978) orig aired 10-31-23

[00:00]Listen, I had an idea while I was getting coffee for this episode, okay? Do I have your permission, Russell, okay? Your express written consent that I can make a shirt for the Back to the Better shop where it says, Big Brad Johnson t-shirts, throwing balls deep in overtime. Something like that. What about like catching your own balls or something? Remember when he threw it and he caught his own pass? Catching your own balls to score. Oh my God, that has to be a shirt.

[00:30]I'm making that shirt. I don't care what you say. And then I was thinking Randy Johnson would be throwing my fastballs. Something about fastballs. Blowing up birds. This is what it was. Blowing up birds with my fastballs. And then he's dressed like Austin Powers. Do I make you Randy, baby? Do I make you Randy? Oh, and I didn't even use Big Unit. I mean, that's the thing. There's so many levels to this bit. All right. In 2020, four friends decided to listen to every one of the greatest 500 albums and decided.

[01:00]This resulted in a text chain that celebrated the music, excoriated the order, and led us to making this podcast. I'm thinking about somebody who just turned on the podcast for the first time. They're like, oh, what's this podcast my friends were talking about at the bonfire? And then they just listened to me talk about different Big Johnson shirts I can make. And they're like, hmm, this is the perfect podcast. I love this one. We are far from experts who promise to do almost no research. All opinions are our own, unless you disagree. Please sit back and enjoy. Beck did it better. We are all the way up to album 166. And from now on, we're going to be talking about the album 166. We're going to be talking about the album 166.

[15:20]We're going to be talking about the album 166.

[15:50]You're babysitting your son? I was babysitting my son, yeah. And we would do like a little bit of TV time before dinner so I could make dinner. And then he just like, after dinner, he wants to like play tag or, you know, run in the backyard, play soccer, whatever.

[16:03]And he's, so eventually we transitioned into like doing some walks around the neighborhood to look at the Halloween decorations. So shout out to everyone like Matt who will put up good Halloween decorations. Like you're actually doing a service to parents everywhere. Like you're, like you're truly doing. You're doing good work for parents who need like something to do with their kids. So that was, that's great. But then that got old after a couple of days. So then like he, he wants to play these games in the street and they become increasingly sort of unhinged.

[16:33]So it started out as like, let's play soccer. And I live on the kind of a cul-de-sac. So there's a church at the end of the cul-de-sac. So most of the time there's nobody down there. And our neighbors are mostly quiet. It's either people with younger kids than Dub or it's older people. So the only thing around you is hundreds of cats. So, yeah, yeah, I mean, we've got the cats around for sure. So it started out playing soccer in the street and we got the little portable goals. So we set up the portable goals. And then a couple of days later, it was a new game called JJ ball, which he invented,

[17:04]which is like a combination soccer, rugby, football kind of thing. And that's all fine. And we play in the street and we do like Wayne's world style. Like, and then there's a car, we got to drag the goals off and bring them back out. And then finally tonight, like it, it, um, he's also like refusing. To wear a shirt most of the time now. So he's out playing soccer with me in the street shirtless. Your son is a man. And then tonight it devolved into, Hey dad, let's play leprechaun tag.

[17:33]I don't, I didn't know what leprechaun tag was. This was, um, playing tag with pool noodles out in the street. So then like, there's a point where I think like, how, how deranged do I look to the neighbors when I'm like, where's the, where's the line? Where do I say? Honey, come here, Rosie, Rosie, fuck. He's out there again. The fuck cares. Who cares what your neighbors think of you when you're playing with your kids? Yeah. He's busy, right?

[18:00]He's having fun. Like he's out there. No, honey, turn off the light. Duck down. He's going to bring us more figs if he knows we're here. Okay. But what the fuck he's doing out there? He's got a pool noodle and he's playing with his son. Well, we're going to judge his ass shirtless and wearing his Crocs and socks. And then he did eventually have a, like, finally, which I was, what I was afraid of. He fell and skinned his knees. That turned out to be the end of that. So maybe we're finished there, but I don't know what the line is, but. Well, you know, you could play Leprechaun three tag where you go to space.

[18:30]Russell, you're not going to laugh at the Leprechaun three joke. I'm the Leprechaun. Thank you, Russell. I was wondering. Seems a good night for it. Guys, we should release this. We'll release this one on St. Patrick's day and not Halloween. We can do both. We can skip a week. But yeah, he's very excited for Halloween. So we did. We did. We had our first pumpkin casualty in the backyard, but we got two more ready to go. So we're going to be ready. Okay. Going to have to back up there real quick. What is a pumpkin casualty? Got to have got to hear this story.

[19:01]Well, it's we bought some pumpkins at the pumpkin patch last Saturday, Sunday, Sunday. Now, how many times have you been to the pumpkin patch this year, Aaron? Because we know you love going to the pumpkin. I do love the pumpkin patch. I do. But this time, well, gosh, this is getting to be into a very long run going. We went to the pumpkin patch last Sunday. But it wasn't my favorite pumpkin patch. It was Wallace's favorite pumpkin patch. And it was at the end of a week where I had been solo dad. We got to the pumpkin patch and I was maybe a little bit grumpy. And Anna politely said, you don't have to be here at the pumpkin patch if that's your preference.

[19:35]So I. Oh, my God. If you left, you could have stayed with me in Napa for three days because you would not have been needed. I did leave. I walked. Oh, I went to watch the Niner game and then they joined me there to watch the Niner game. And then my son got to play with the Ouija board while we ate some sandwiches and watch the rest of the Niner game.

[20:01]And then we had to go back to the pumpkin patch to pick up the pumpkins. No, no, stop. Wait a minute. Wait, you're going to a restaurant that has a Ouija board just out. Oh, well, it's a brewery. It's not really a brewery. It's a yeah. Yeah, it's a bar. And they have games. One of which is a Ouija board. And that's what Wallace chose. No, I mean, like he came to the he came. Ouija. Yeah. Ouija board. Ouija, right? No, it's Ouija. Ouija. Ouija. It's like, it's like, it's like Mario's brother.

[20:32]Are you guys going to give me shit about how. Ouija board. Hey, hey, hey, upstairs tenant, upstairs tenant. You did make a good call not to invite Aaron to the next, the next winery. He's talking about Ouija board. You made a good call to not invite him to that. Sorry, guys. I had to talk to upstairs tenant for a second. It's a. It's a me, Mario. It's a Ouija board. All right. So they had a Ouija board. But yeah, so then, but it was a whole thing. You know, I was like, oh, hey, you can. So I went to watch the Niners and drink some beer and, and then, and then my family joined

[21:02]me and we had lunch and Wallace played with the Ouija board. And then we went back to get the pumpkins. And all of this is to answer Rob's question about a pumpkin casualty, which is we told him if we carve the pumpkins now, they're not going to last until Halloween because some kind of critter is going to take out the pumpkin. And sure enough. Now, let me, let me interrupt you, Aaron. I'm sure that when you said this logical statement of fact from a grown man to a small child that they turned to you and said, dad, thank you for that.

[21:30]You're right. I shouldn't carve this pumpkin because you're right. It will just go to waste. So I'm not going to carve the pumpkin. Aaron, is that what happened? That is in fact, not what happened. We carved the pumpkin anyway, and it lasted two and a half days. And today the pumpkin's face had fallen off and it was covered in. Flies. So we had to throw it out. Wow. Aaron, that is, I got to say, Aaron, you're like literally your dad of the year all time. If my kids were like, Hey, let's go out and run around.

[22:00]I'd be like, well, see you guys later. I'm leaving this family forever. Goodbye. I'm never coming back. I haven't hurt myself yet. I am drinking less because I can't, I find that I can't put away half a bottle of wine before dinner and then run in the street after. So it's been good for me. It's good. Okay. So I'm going to, I'm going to walk. I'm going to walk back a little bit where I said. Yeah. You're just going to, I'm going to, I'm going to hold onto that take just for a second. Might not hand that out right away. It's getting hot. We'll see about that. How's it rolling going with Matt? Good.

[22:30]Good. I had the, let's see, we were watching just a little bit of Insta and I'm fascinated by the sphere out in Las Vegas and our good buddy heard about this from other people too. Yeah. Our good buddy. Magic. Mike 69 was in the front row for the year. He's in a front row and he's going back in two weeks to sit like in the back rows to kind of experience the whole inside of the sphere thing. So he, he said he'd, he'd call in with a review.

[23:03]So we have to get that review on the air when he calls in. Very cool. Because if I was, if I was walking to that concert, I would look at the rows coming from the stage back to the back and I would go Uno, Dos, Tres, Catorze, hello, hello. That's a U2. That's a U2 reference. Very good, Rob. Very good. Um, there's another Insta thing that's been going around or whatever it is, TikTok, whatever Rob does is that they, apparently women are asking their significant others or men in

[23:33]their life, how much they think of the Roman empire. Have you heard about this? Of course. Do you guys ever, do you ever think of the Rosie? Do you ever think about the Roman empire? No. Well, let me just say this. When I heard this trend, there's only one person I thought of. And that was the one person I know who had Rome on DVDs and that was Russell. He had the HBO series Rome on DVDs. I was like, that guy's fucking thinking about the Roman empire all the time.

[24:01]Aaron, you're not thinking about the Roman empire. I bet I think about it once a week, something with like, like I'll see a road and I'll be like road and the roads in their own Roman empire were pretty good. Good roads. Like they did a lot of shit, man. Should I be thinking about it more? The sun never sets on the Roman empire. That's kind of what I was at, Rosie. Like I thought I was definitely a zero. Zero. Right. And then I started thinking like, I think about the movie gladiator more than I probably should all the time. There's comments, you know, what happens in this life echoes in eternity. I will have my vengeance in this life for the, you know, all of these things.

[24:33]Right. I don't, I don't know. And so now I guess I think about gladiator, which is the, about the Roman empire. So I guess I'm partially think about it more than I know, but Russell, do you ever think about the Roman empire? Not very often. I don't really, I don't get the. I don't get the. I don't get the, where the payoff for the questions coming. Is this like really what people ask about? Cause, cause women would ask guys and all the guys would say, yeah, I, I think about the Roman empire twice a week and it blew people's minds. I think about the Roman empire once a week.

[25:00]Apparently there's a lot of people that think about the Roman empire a lot. And. You know what? I'm going to call, I'm going to call bullshit. This seems like what people say to impress other people, to make them sound like they're well-read and, you know, know about all this history. That sounds like bullshit to me. Someone who says they've. They think about the Roman empire like five, six times a week. I'm calling bullshit. I don't believe you. I would, I would gather to say if someone told me that they might not be my friend. Oh, wow.

[25:30]Now we're safe because I don't think I do, but maybe I should. So I think I'm safe. So that's, that's, that's all. I just wanted to make sure you guys, you know, we're all on the same page with the Roman empire. I have to say, I never thought I would think about it, but the other day I was actually at the cabin and I was in a boat. Right. And I was in a boat and I, and I had to, and somebody out there was in trouble, you know, so I had to go out and see if they're okay. And then as we're coming back, my motor dies. Now my boat's in trouble, but luckily I've got a couple oars on there.

[26:00]Right. So this guy I picked up says, Hey, let me roll back. You help me out. Let me roll you back. And I said, okay, so we're rolling back. We're rolling back. He gets out of the boat and goes, strike three, you're out of here. And it was a Roman umpire, a Roman umpire. I think about that at least once. Once a week. Oh man. Oh man. Not the Roman empire, a Roman umpire. Okay. I had that saved for the end of the podcast.

[26:30]So might pull that one out again. We'll see. The reaction was not great from you guys. So yeah. Russell rolling, going, how's it going with you? Rolling going last week. I told you guys how about how I was in Napa. Well, actually I was in two exciting cities over the last week on the same trip, San Francisco beforehand. Have you guys been to San Francisco before? Oh yeah. Yep. I haven't been for a while. Have you been or not? Uh, let's see. There's this one time where I had flowers in my hair, but where was I? God damn it. I can't remember. Oh, you know, I was at San Jose, San Jose.

[27:02]I thought I would share some of my experiences in San Francisco. See what you think of these. Reports of its demise are greatly exaggerated. There were some amazing parts of San Francisco. There were some, also some almost rough ones. The first one, um, I am terrified of. Heights. Okay. I don't know if we've talked about this before on the podcast, but we decided to take a hop on hop off tour. We've talked, Matt, we've talked before about how you like doing those as well. Perfect thing to do around San Francisco because you can only see so much on your own, right?

[27:33]If you just start walking down neighborhoods, you could spend a whole day walking down like a four by four block area and not see anything, right? You could still have a great time, but, um, my, my, the tourists I was going with had never been to San Francisco. So I was like, well, we got to do hop on hop off. So we get on the bus and we're going over the golden gate bridge. And immediately I'm thinking, I don't remember going over the bridge on the, on the up top

[28:00]of the bus, you know, where you're outside sitting on the top of the bus. The last time I did one of these in San Francisco and immediately I'm like, oh, fuck. And I'm terrified. And it's windy as hell above that bridge. You were so high up there. Like the pictures do not do it justice how high you are up there. Right? So we're going across the bridge. And they make it clear when you get on this bus, Hey, while we're moving, stay seated, all blah, blah, blah. There is a lady in front of us who is literally standing up while we're going over the bridge and doing like the selfie turning around like 360 degrees.

[28:34]And she took a selfie video of herself for two minutes or a minute and a half or however long it takes to get over that bridge standing up. And I legit almost had like a meltdown. How would you guys have handled that? I just say I was far away from it as I can. That's, that's terrible. Yeah. That's kind of a, what do they, what do they call that? We're nature selection. Who's that? Darwin. Darwin.

[29:00]Yeah. Darwinism. You know, sometimes you just got to let Darwin's theory. The question is, if you think somebody is about to get really hurt, do you watch it because you'll never be able to see something like that again? Or do you have to look away for self-preservation? Or do you film it so you can sell it? You can think about it. You can think about it. Wait a minute. I can't even watch people sprain their ankles on like on television sports. No way. I have to, I got to admit one thing only for the Manny's and the Neal's of the world who

[29:30]think that, well, Manny doesn't, but the refs are just dumb idiots. You know, high school football refs are dumb idiots. What is the area of a football field? Rob, can we Google that really quick? The area? I'm hijacking. Yeah. I just have to, I'm sorry, Russell. It's a hundred by, it's a hundred by 30, right? So it's like 3,000 yards. 120 by 53. 120 by 53, I think. 120 times 53. Let me do that in my head. Let me do that in my head real quick. That's about 6,360. I can't even say the number.

[30:00]6,360 square yards. So I am covering a kickoff and I tripped and sprained my ankle on the kicking tee of all things, that whole field. I ran and I stepped on the kicking tee and rolled my ankle. Luckily I've rolled my ankle so many times that it's just like, it's like a rubber band so it's all good, but I figured Neil would like to hear that. So sorry, Russell. Go ahead. Maybe you should have gotten a little boat, started oaring your way out of the way of that tee and you would have been considered a better row man and umpire.

[30:32]Wow. Row man, umpire. That would have been good. Russell, that joke was terrible. You see how I pile on, I support you, Rob. I doubled down. Sorry, Russell. So anyways, I'm also in San Francisco. I did the Alcatraz tour for the second time. Have you guys ever done that? Have you guys ever done the Alcatraz tour before or not? We did not do Alcatraz. We had two younger kids. We didn't know if we would, uh, if it would play. So what do you, what do you think for kids? I think it would have worked for kids.

[31:00]I think your kids are old enough, Matt, where they would have got to do the boat ride, which I think the boat would have been fun. Once you get over there, you can kind of walk through pretty quickly and get back on the boat if you wanted to in like a half hour or an hour if you wanted. They've got like a headphone tour if you want to listen to it. That might not be your, for your kids, but like for them to see the jail cells and everything, I actually think kids might like that. What do you think? We took, yeah, we took Wallace out there in August, just, just this last August. He was pretty into it. Yeah. I did notice Rob about Alcatraz that if you got thrown into the hole, like if you were a really bad prisoner, you actually had a bigger cell.

[31:32]You just didn't get any sunlight or any outdoor time. I would got to wonder if you, would you guys rather have the, the light and the outdoor time and the smaller cell or the bigger cell, but no light and no outdoor time. Smaller cell. Get outside. Yeah. I got to go. Listen, normally I'm an iPhone 14 max guy, but in this case I got to go with a smaller cell. You go with smaller. Yeah. I got to go with the smaller cell. That was the echo from your iPhone 14 max.

[32:01]Oh no, you can't guys remember what that joke is about, please. Every time I hear it, when I edit it, I was like, oh, I'm terrible. I'm a bad husband. That is so bad. I also on the hop on hop off tour, we went through the hate Ashbury, which is kind of where like the hippie movement started. I believe Aaron is if that's right and summer of love, right? Summer of love. And I got to see two music things. I didn't get off and get a seat. I didn't have time, but I saw Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin's house or in that neighborhood.

[32:31]So I got to see that. And they kind of, they promote it a little bit. Now it's probably, I'm guessing a little more commercial than it used to be, but it was kind of cool to see where those music legends kind of made their names. Right. Were you tempted at all to look into Janis Joplin's house and see if there wasn't an unmade bed? through the window and be like, Hmm, I know what happened on there. Is this the Leonard Cohen song? Yes. Russell, I got up, we stayed in an Airbnb. I don't know. It must've been about a mile and a half West and South of there.

[33:03]And so one where I got up early and just went for a jog around there and was down there like eight in the morning, nothing was going on. Nobody. And it was just like dead silent. Nice day. And I just sat there on hate Nashbury and just kind of, you know, you just see all that stuff and you're like, Holy, you think I like going to places like that when there's history, whether it be a ballpark or, you know, just anywhere. And you just think about what the hell happened to these places. And it's just amazing.

[33:30]So yeah, I thought it was super cool to go down to that area and, and just take it all in more than anything. So we're, we're going through, we're riding the bus and I would have loved to get off there, but I couldn't. Part of it was we were scheduled to get off and go to Alcatraz, but he had an appointment to get to Alcatraz. And so I have to tell you guys when I almost ruined the whole trip for us. Can I, can I tell you guys that story? You know what, Russell? Actually, no, we have to go podcast. We cannot hear about when you almost ruined a trip. Yes, Russell, we need to hear this right now.

[34:00]Inject it right into my veins. So we're, we get on the hop on hop off bus tour, you know, nine in the morning, we're going around. It takes a little longer than you think. So it's like a two hour total round trip. It takes a little bit longer to get going and everything. We get on the bus, we're going. And, and the one stop we're going to get off on is the golden gate bridge. So the tourist I'm with can get out, walk on the bridge, get her picture in front of the bridge. That's like a must do in San Francisco, right? Right. Have to. It's iconic. Yeah. And so at one point I'm like, we're, we're going to be late for Alcatraz tour.

[34:30]And when, but those tours, they, they make it seem like it's very strict. You have to be here at half hour early. You have to be here at noon. There's no exceptions. You know, we all that stuff. Russell. Yeah. If, if this tourist is like a tourist I've had, in my life okay i would say that when you announced that you were might be late to something they didn't really care they didn't think it was going to be a big deal which only made you worry more okay is that did that happen at all i don't know i think you know what i'm going to take all the blame for this one because we got on shucks and when we're going to get off

[35:03]at the the i don't know if it's called the presidio or whatever wherever you take your picture at golden or at by the golden gate bridge and we get off and i immediately go i don't think we can get off there's no way we're gonna make it if we get off and make it to the alcatraz tour and we know we paid money for it it's not the end of the world if we can't go or whatever but so we get off and i'm kind of realizing i've got to rush this along and so these buses come along every 20 minutes or half hour or ever so long and we get off and i go you know what i bet if you just

[35:34]get off quick we can run over there quick you can get your picture quick we can get right back on the bus and this was a mistake to suggest that we needed to rush the time at the golden gate bridge what would you guys have done if you were running late would you have tried to rush your time at the golden gate bridge or just accept we're going to be late for alcatraz there's no good answer here it's if you're if you're trying to cram everything in on a big day where you're trying to see everything yeah it's it's never like the best thing is to be where you are right and enjoy that

[36:05]for what it is but it's still hard when you got a schedule i got it i gotta say too the other thing is how long are you gonna fucking stand at the golden gate bridge you know what i mean like i don't think that's the worst thing to rush like you get a picture you move on because i think like what 10 minutes that's too long right that's too long there you're not going to be there for that long some people want to go down on the bridge and they want to walk on it they want to walk across it that's that's a fair thing that's i don't want to do that because i don't like heights but but i get it people want to do that russell can i tell you

[36:30]one time that i know here's this is what crazy one time i was down by the golden gate bridge and you won't believe this guess who i ran into anthony yes i ran into neil pert and that's what i knew i really had to rush my trip to the golden gate bridge yes you guys will never believe what mountain they're on you would think so okay that's uh only rush limbaugh's on that one

[37:03]so anyways we get off and we're walking over to do the picture and i'm like i kind of start getting into hey we got to move this along and i i was given some feedback briefly and realized oh i'm fucking this up like i just got to let this go and if we're late for alcatraz or miss it that's the decision we got to make right now because if i rush this i'm ruining the whole trip like the whole trip's going downhill and you may go down so russell so that is so self-aware of you i would never know that until a daily where you are yeah it it was

[37:35]self-aware after i was given feedback on the way i was acting it wasn't i mean i just don't know yeah yeah but so i don't know if you have to get engaged russell you're sounding like you're right in the pocket right now i gotta admit the tourists got a chance to go down and walk on the bridge i didn't want to do it because i was scared of it but i will say this about aaron's beautiful city of san francisco you know for being the city of technology and uber and all these things you can't get an uber for shit away from that golden gate bridge

[38:03]really oh yeah yeah 20 year ubers cancel on us it is impossible to do a ride sharing out of the golden gate bridge impossible aaron defend your city i don't live there it's not my city i do love san francisco no beef with san francisco not my city can't defend it i uh don't know why that would be but probably uber uber drivers have been burnt uh getting out there funny uber anecdote i was i just read an article this morning people are using uber to

[38:33]poach dungeness crab it's not dungeness crab season yet people go at night to the dungeness crab spots about an hour south of the city and it used to be that they'd go and drive their cars there and park them and then get caught going out to catch crab outside of crab season so now they're using uber to get to the ocean that is amazing poach crab and i don't think walk back or call another uber to get back or how it works that is so ironic okay and i'll tell you why because the other day i took an uber somewhere where i caught crabs

[39:05]i mean that is so weird don't ever try to step on my joke again aaron so eventually i heard that you can see that we made alcatraz there wasn't one other cool experience i had i went to a cool jazz club that aaron recommended but i also went to the speakeasy and the speakeasy had written rules no cameras no phones you have to speak quietly

[39:32]mm-hmm and you have to also be prepared that the drinks are going to take a long time because there's craftsmanship involved what do you guys think of bars that have rules i kind of liked it i loved it we went to we went to a place like that in philly where they would only let you in and this was like three months ago they would only let you in if you had a vaccination card still they were still checking vaccination cards and the woman ahead of us who was a surgeon okay and was vaccinated but didn't have her card on this now you might say to yourself i don't know what you're

[40:02]rob how do you know she's a surgeon because she yelled it at the uh doorman a hundred times and then was turned away and when she turned away she saw my giant smile i was smiling so big it was so fun to watch this woman get done and then i said oh i think we're next goodbye and we went in quietly with our vaccination cards got a picture or not got got a drink it was i loved it russell it was like a normal place it's not too loud there's no lines i thought it was great i kind of like the

[40:32]first time i saw it and i was like oh my god what's going on here and i'm like oh my god what's going on here and i'm like oh my god what's going on here and i'm like oh my god what's going on here and i'm like oh my god what's going on here and i'm like oh my god what's going on here and i'm like oh my god what's going on here and i'm like oh my god what's going on here and i'm like oh my god what's going on here and i'm like oh my god what's going on here and i'm like oh my god what's going on here and i'm like oh my god what's going on here and i'm like oh my god what's going on here and i'm like oh my god what's going on here and i'm like oh my god what's going on here and i'm like oh my god are you serious i did just once now russell let me ask you this yes sir what if you went to one of these speaky places and the person you were with has a very loud voice how would that make

[41:01]you feel i don't you know there were other people being loud i don't think they were that was one that they held too strongly on anyone i wouldn't worry about that what do you how would you feel rob oh i would feel very awkward very awkward because the person you're with would be so loud that obviously everyone can hear what she's saying at all times you try doing things like moving away from her when she talks or even covering your ears and the message simply doesn't get through and you know if you say hey you're talking a little loud that you will have effectively ruined the night so you have to be very careful with that

[41:31]that's i don't know to me that's what i would say just hypothetically yeah speaking of ruining the night roll and go on rob how's it going with you folks i'm gonna ignore that because you know we are into the spooky season i was working on the podcast i've got my jokes to write when i realized this episode tonight

[42:00]would be downloaded and then it would be seen on october 31st why that's halloween he made a list about scary songs he made a list the bit's always a little too long rob made a list what song will be number one he made a list if you don't like it please leave a comment below then you are wrong so i went online to find the scariest songs i copy other lists so it doesn't take too long the thing this year that's got me depressed it's the third year in a row that i've

[42:33]made this list he made a list about scary songs he made a list this bit's always a bit too long what song will be number one he made a list number six was this very song mom is milk now listen i had forgotten that song completely i'd forgot there's a second verse and i

[43:05]was thoroughly entertained by my own song it's sick but let's get into the scariest songs our fourth year we are doing this list i have picked new brand new scary songs these are the scariest possible songs i could find so let's go through and i'm going to start with the scariest songs i've got the top six scariest songs ever okay at number six could we start with uh number 14 please from the sphere you know what i actually downloaded these lists on your phone without

[43:35]you asking and everybody fucking hates me all right so that good pull rob god that was good rob you got it you're coming back rob it's not too late you're gonna do it i've got the hax and cloak with me i've got the hax and cloak with me i've got the hax and cloak with me i've got the now listen to how this song starts and i'm gonna kind of fast forward about halfway through and you'll see why i think this song is so scary this is literally the song right here

[44:03]i mean this is yeah this is scary it's a scary song i'm just gonna go midway through the song robin is this your your sex time song or not yes i'm sorry i'm sorry i sweat on you sorry wait no wait no no no no i can do it wait wait wait wait yeah it's just i'm thinking about work it's my fault just wait a minute wait wait you're going

[44:31]for that christopher nolan vibe in the bedroom or what can i put on my um awesome powers costume you know that helps i have erectile dysfunction baby yeah instead of marriage this there's the hax and cloak mist a very very scary song matt did you think that song was scary very scary i knew it goddamn i knew it how did you discover that one rob that is it was on the list of scariest songs in rolling stone magazine so okay guys i got an idea about these rolling

[45:05]stone lists okay now hear me out this is a really good idea it's not gonna ruin my life uh next song what's scarier than that last song well how about the dead coming back to life oh guys oh yes this song is scary it's about zombies now you have to admit if the lead singer of the cranberries at the end of times came back as a zombie

[45:36]the only thing more ironic would be an alanis morissette zombie next to it you know what i mean oh hello she kind of does like brown like bunny house michael stipe the the ufc fighter oh i will say there is a ufc fighter i don't know his full name but uh his nickname is korean zombie and when he comes out to this song it bangs it bangs this is

[46:01]a great song you know what i almost don't like that the walking dead and all these zombie shows have taken away the focus from a great song like zombie by the cranberries such a that's an amazing tune and it's scary rob i always like the walking thing russell i agree man did you think that song was scary no i thought that was a banger that's one of the best songs of all time not scary at all to me it's scary how much you like that song and it's scary how much i like this next song the neutron dance this song is so good it's scary listen to this thing yes

[46:34]that is a scary song you know what would be extra scary is if there was a worm who lived in a town of cats and drove around in an apple car aaron do you know how scary that would be richard scary yeah dick scary and i got that on an uber i took an uber the other day and i got a dick scary i'll talk to you about it later

[47:01]aaron i didn't know if you're gonna pull the richard scary but i'm so happy you did it fills my heart with joy yeah it's great great books it makes us all worth it god i read i read those books like i was reading real books i was like yeah this is a busy town god damn matt and i didn't get a chance to read that book we were busy thinking about the roman empire hey a busy town here's russ trying to get to his his prison tour

[47:30]and he's trying not to get mad he's whispering okay we just gotta get there right now we should go listen this next song i always thought was scary as hell okay and it's by a little band by some of the scariest people in the world and it's called scary as hell and it's by a little band insects you could possibly now the other podcast i was trying to think of bands that were named for insects and i did not think of this one and it's i'm kind of embarrassed now it's the beatles oh mr kite this song is unsettling yeah it's the symbol right it's just like it's all

[48:02]yeah this is a scary song you're right man do you think is this a richard scary song to you yeah i think it's it's not it's the what is the is it like a organ and something russell's probably covered in the past it's got that in the back something like that yeah that's what makes it a little creepy uh listen the next up something that as a child you know child childlike wonder

[48:32]you're not the world is so different okay when you're a child all you want to do is go outside and play leprechaun tag you know what i mean take your shirt off throw rocks at your dad whatever okay it's a it's a you could do the world is your oyster and then as you get older you find out what the ultimate fear is which by the way nobody fucking tells you when you're younger that this is the scariest thing in the entire world actually the second scariest okay listen to this song what's the first putting on those super big condoms right rob why are they so big

[49:01]getting a job is the scariest thing getting a job jobs suck balls big time they are the worst thing ever yeah you know i love my work i know i like teaching i hate work i hate going to work i hate working i hate being there i hate all that other shit jobs suck if i could be at home and not have a job i would be a thousand times happier that's why rosie's so happy rob i've got an easy solution

[49:31]for you not to have a job tomorrow tell people about this podcast i might have to airdrop this bad boy at work you know now all the way up to the number six now of course the scariest song so far the hacks and cloak zombie neutron dance mr kite get a job they all make sense yeah that's the scariest scariest thing and you will find out today if you were listening to this on halloween you set up you go out everybody's having fun oh we're getting candy it's great it's awesome your kids oh yeah

[50:03]you can have a couple candy you have a piece of candy have this candy of this candy all of a sudden they have all this sugar in them okay and what happens that night there's a crash and that's why the scariest song for the fourth year in a row is i want oh wait is this the bow diddly rhythm though hey this works this fits for tonight yes exactly you did it okay this is the scariest thing ever

[50:35]your kids on candy they will be a nightmare every year i make this joke and every year on halloween it comes true your kids will be the worst this is the scariest song ever man this song's scary i hate to joke extremely scary i hate to interrupt you rob this is the most upset i've ever been at aaron right now what the most upset i've ever been at aaron that he called out the bow diddly rhythm in the song right here the most bit wow wow that is terrible guys that was a great call

[51:09]though aaron that was a sounds like a really smart person thinking that probably the type of person that thinks about the roman empire right that is a great scary song list rob and perfect list rob nailed it again i'm not gonna lie these are getting harder to pick out okay and i don't know if you noticed when the neutron dance was one of my scariest songs but it is getting tough so let's not think

[51:31]about it anymore let's get into talking about the album rosie you asked about a rush 379 moving pictures by rush 379 we will get there unless russell decides to kick me off the podcast after this that's more than double or that's an amazing poll by you because i think it's an amazing poll by me coming up in about an hour an hour yeah sounds about right actually listen talking about

[52:00]buddy holly so this album was made in britain it was released in the u.s under emi it got up to number one in britain in 1978 okay which is a really good album and it's a really good album again what the fuck is going on over there where buddy holly gets up to number one at 1978 it only gets up to 55 in the u.s this album is officially out of print if you see this at the record store russell okay and i know what you're thinking buddy holly he looks pretty perverted pick up this record work your system uh buddy holly started with the band buddy and bob in 1955 guys 1955 this album

[52:40]no how old is it oh it's so old that our grandparents were getting this album oh think about all of them i guarantee somebody's grandparents in this zoom call right now we're just getting blasted like crazy to buddy this is this this is gonna require some bleeps

[53:01]it's funny but that was probably a new thing in 1955 too you know what i mean like they're like oh my god have you heard about this new thing like it's it's like it's like it's like it's like young people now and eating ass back then it was no this is crazy i can't believe the kids are we were gonna let some of this go and now you just are digging deeper double down well double down digging deeper it makes me think about kind of all right so by the way i texted that joke to the guys today and they were like oh why didn't you save it oh

[53:34]and then i tell it on the podcast and everybody's mad make up your mind i was worried this album was so old that one of my dates from the timberwolves senior dance team may have seen it in person okay goodbye goodbye you can't think of anything else hey mom dad i just got this new rust this new record at the store it's buddy holly's 20s golden grades yes i drove there because i'm 16 in 1978

[54:01]all right i can't wait for two years for the guy i'm gonna go on a date with to be born sure it'll be the new thing all right so it's the new thing not gonna know all right so uh every song here's what's crazy here's what's crazy he starts a band in 1950

[54:34]like three by 1955 he is opening for elvis nationwide in 57 the band toured that'll be the day top the u.s and u.k single charts and in october they released their hit peggy sue every single song on this album is from a two-year span 1957 and 1959 that is crazy when you listen to this album this is a revolutionary rock album

[55:00]okay the first bunch of songs are really really good okay i'm just gonna leave it at that they are really good i was you might say oh rob were you singing a little bit of this album along more to the rem album or the buddy holly album the buddy holly album this this has bangers on it big time banger after banger uh he was one of the first artists to use double tracking or overdubbing in the studio that he was one of the first guys to ever do that and basically you know he kind of is credited with coming up for this rock and roll song sound especially with how he played the guitar stroking his four full arm instead of just his hand which which created

[55:34]a different sound 1959 of course he made a new band with waylon jennings on bass and went on tour has a show in clear lake is going to fly to moorhead minnesota yes please uh and then during nice kind of an awkward place to make this joke uh and of course gets in a car uh gets gets in a car goes to the airport okay where he gets on a plane that of course crashes into the day the

[56:00]music's died aaron's laughing at that stop there uh and basically like he's credited a lot of times as the rock and roll lineup is two guitars a bass and a drum that's all credited to buddy holly so let's get into who we who the album now first of all i just want to say you sick fucks out there who thought that the big bopper was going to call during this episode it's not going to happen i'm subverting yes please yes please no calls from the bopper no calls from the but that is a guarantee

[56:32]he is not going to call and talk about something that's already been said can't be talked about on the show all right that will be the day listen to this i mean this intro second year that guitar you're in the right place wow i mean this is crazy and rob you were talking about all these are in two years but these come from like multiple albums right like the chirping crickets buddy holly the buddy holly story volume one and two

[57:04]are all these from like different albums or are they just singles or where'd they come from he seemed to have great sense one no question this is not an album no this is not an album at all i mean it was made as a compilation but they all would have been 25s at the time right they wouldn't have been lps so they would have just been i really can't tell because like i think and you know if you were to look up at genius to maybe find facts about these songs and it's actually really hard it's getting to that point in the list where it's getting harder and harder to find facts

[57:34]it seemed to be on albums but you never know if those are all like post-mortem stuff so aaron you think these are all just singles huh i think so we i mean yeah that's my that's my guess i don't know when the first rock and roll full-length album would have been i think not until the 60s we talked about it before russell told the story in a much better way but basically they had a song called cindy lou named after holly's baby niece cindy and her sister patricia lou but the crickets drummer was like dude i am trying to f**k you up i'm trying to f**k you up

[58:04]this chick named peggy sue okay let me redo that joke so it's not so offensive i am trying to f**k this woman named peggy sue okay can can we change the song to peggy sue and buddy holly was like hey bro i got you okay this is so good this song i love this song this drum sounds very cool

[58:32]and he was doing the drums and the guy recording it was like the drums sound terrible you got stop it you're terrible the guy's like okay listen i'm just gonna do these drum warm-ups i do and it was this drum beat oh he was like bro i love this drum beat let's record you this you have the iconic song like it was just formed at the creation of earth you cannot imagine life without peggy sue now

[59:00]if you made a song about how your friend has attracted women's shoes to this and you were at your kids swim meet today and couldn't stop singing this song about the shoes that's bad don't do that okay theoretically words of love hold me close and tell me how you i gotta say one thing about this album i think it sounds really good like it's a really clear we've listened to like remember what hank williams it all sounded like terrible this album sounds great to me

[59:32]i guess maybe because he was overdubbing right like he was really going for he was able to use multiple tracks and get it right i don't know it must be it i kind of got the impression he overdubbed like his guitar solos but i'm not sure exactly what he was doing next up this is a song that rolling stone ranked as the 238th best song 238 now just to give you an idea if we were doing a song a week we would get to 238th and about

[60:02]two years a year and a half a summer of 2025 just to give you an idea that's only 238 that's not even 250 which would be halfway every day we're all depressed we're all seriously was peggy sue higher on the list did he have a higher song than this or not yeah i don't need to look it up but so i the movie uh yes it's guys there's a song later on this album that's way higher

[60:30]it's gonna blow your mind sorry matt go ahead what's the movie uh stand by me yes i just think of this instantly when they're walking down the railroad tracks yeah listen to this that is a movie i cannot watch again but i have never seen stand by me i just watched it on the plane again i mean i would love to recommend it but it's also a fucking heartbreaker i had a i have a movie recommendation king it's based on a stephen king book yeah next time people are on a plane i have not ever seen

[61:01]this movie before i know you guys will probably react to this dazed and confused i'd never seen it i watched you've never seen that movie it was a great watch to watch on a plane it was so much fun i bet i've seen that a hundred times that's a richfield legend i've never seen it too many times i can never see it too many times rob you don't like it hey man hey man i think it's i think it's fine i don't know i watch hey man are you cool about it i don't want all the actors in there

[61:31]it's great that's right great movie great coming of age you know we go ahead oh anytime i get my movie opinions our text chain blows up with how my movie opinions are dumb about ferris bueller and the sandlot so i'm not going to say it anymore but i'm just going to say dazed and confused i you're entitled to your opinion i will say this one of the one of the actresses i look this person up because there's a lot of people that become famous or maybe they don't maybe they're only famous for this but one of the actresses in that movie marissa rabisi

[62:00]went on yep to marry i know beck hansen oh wow wait is she is she related to giovanni rabisi i think so is that like an arranged scientology marriage oh heron don't bring us down for 20 years they just got the sibling of giovanni rabisi here hey okay all right i feel like this is like some weird stuff we probably should address this though what if why would we what if beck gets so drunk one night

[62:30]and drives into like a bus of like nuns kills them all we gotta do some like name change right like we should be thinking about that what if he turns out to be a terrible person are we ready to change everything technically he did they did get divorced a couple years ago but they were married for 14 happy years oh hey you can get divorced after 14 years hey so when it comes lawyer at aol siri call my lawyer

[63:00]when it comes there's only a few weirdos that still have aol emails let me just tell you that when it comes to one lawyer that does when it comes to marrying one of the stars from dazed and confused who did it better beck did it amazing great call great call great pay i almost forgot that all right just like when i was watching uh the vikings the other day all they ran were in routes not fade away you this song of course most famous

[63:30]covered by the rolling stones it's a version i can think of all right aaron you know the reason why this is famous though aaron why don't you tell us why this is famous right here is it famous because of the bow diddly rhythm damn right the bow diddly rhythm that's what this is famous for right the bump bump bump bump bump bump one two three one two right yeah drummer jerry allison thumped out this rhythm on a cardboard box and he was one of the lines in this song my love is bigger than a cadillac that's a that's an homage

[64:04]to bow diddly i think okay right they're clearly pulling from that and we've heard the bow diddly rhythm on other songs george faith or george michael faith uses that bow diddly rhythm the clash uh rudy can't fail if you guys remember way back rudy can't fail you sit you too matt desire that song from you two uses it david bowie uses it but i thought we could do a quick list of the greatest songs ever featuring the bow diddly beat yes i love it it's time now russell i've got

[64:36]a killer choice do you want it now do you want it now or at the end of this bit you can do it now i i think if i do it now it might ruin the whole list because i think it's all you're going to be thinking about the whole time so let me do it at the end and you know what if we want i'll edit it back into the beginning right now okay so listeners we'll see what do we decide who all right first song on the list we're going to do the original we're going to do the bow diddly

[65:02]song the song is bow diddly by bow diddly let's check this one out oh yeah this will certainly be the last time we hear this song tonight i was reading this is a variation of a three-tune pattern often found in afro-cuban music and yoruba drumming from west africa diddly said he came up with this beat when he was listening to the gospel as a kid songs actually before this that used that beat but he's really the one that popularized it but

[65:33]really epic right yeah right and yeah he didn't invent it right he came from somewhere you're talking the bow diddly beat is the dun dun dun dun dun dun dun yeah one two three you do your bow diddly beat we're all doing different ones i'll go and we'll do a round okay let's do a round guys we nailed it i don't think you'll do it i don't think you're i was waiting for the right

[66:08]time he was not around one of the other songs in the early 50s that used this was from 1958 this is johnny otis willie and the hand jive yeah born to hand jive willie said papa don't put me down you hear it back there yeah this is much more pronounced actually the bow diddly one is like a little more complex and kind of fades in and out this one very straightforward with the claps i love it

[66:33]doing that crazy hand i was reading that johnny otis had been accused multiple times of that this song was actually about masturbation robin he had denied it he said the hand jive was not about that what do you think what do we uh can jive and let me think about this hand jive hand jive yep it's definitely it's i think isn't this like when you

[67:00]okay think of a joke here what is a hand jive there is a real dance with two hands at the same time he said there is a real dance to it so he claims it is not about that he's been pretty adamant there's a dance to it but aaron's jacking off do you hear that oh aaron god the song willie and the hand jive has been covered numerous times eric clapton did it george thoroughgood and then the crickets the crickets covered this song oh wow all right i can't wow that's crazy i here's the thing is that george thoroughgood literally made

[67:34]his entire career on this whole bow diddly sound like that's all i used to have the album the baddest of george thoroughgood great title by the way it's so much of this bow diddly sound with a hard rough oh it's so good i love it next song next song on the list is from 1978 rob this is the new york groove you're a new york guy this is ace freely new york groove back in the new york groove that's actually where i caught crabs on my uber i was in a new york groove kind of slowed

[68:02]down and then he's got some ball in there this is kids or it's ace freely but this is kids here yeah but they kind of funked it up a little originally recorded by this glam rock band hello i don't know if you guys remember them i do not but i like this song and he said he specifically released it he wanted to do a bow diddly beat because he hadn't heard it for a while and it turns out he was also a big fan of

[68:31]buddy holly in 2015 ace freely goes on tour and he starts his tour at the serve ballroom in clear lake iowa the last place where buddy holly richie valence and the big bopper ever played and that night he dedicated a song to those three musicians called too young to die so definitely heavily influenced by buddy holly and bow diddly now russell i gotta say this son of a bitch what was i gonna say oh i gotta say this russell we we haven't talked about this but

[69:05]we all four of us are wearing kiss makeup because we know it's halloween this is our halloween episode we are all dressed up like kiss members of course russell is the cat matt is the guy i guess which guy i am okay sorry next on the list is from 1987 i don't know if you guys will ever put this one together but this is guns and roses mr brownstown check out the bow diddly beat this is a great song

[69:34]yes yeah you hear it there airplane guitars yeah yeah it's perfect excellent it's off my second favorite guns and roses album number one of course is chinese democracy great song slash said bow diddly inspired the rhythm for this song he said bow diddly was a

[70:03]huge hero of mine bow diddly created a myth that he was uniquely his own an entire rhythm is owned to just one guy and that's pretty rare that's great that is crazy when you think about it he's just got to rip all his own god damn the song you know with that song russell a little used to do it but now it doesn't do it anymore or something i should learn the lyrics you used to a little bit a little wouldn't do it so a little got more and more there you go slash also a big fan of buddy holly in 2011 he got inducted into the hollywood walk of fame on the same day that buddy holly got

[70:35]inducted into the hollywood walk of fame wow and he's tweeted at the time it's amazing amazing to me that buddy holly hands down one of the rock and roll's biggest influences is just getting into the hollywood walk of fame now so another person heavily influenced by buddy holly and bow diddly now russell you were talking so much about hollywood on that last one yes there's no way you can link your next song on your list to the last one with a perfect segue the next song of

[71:02]the list which i confirmed that rob would have on the list tonight and aaron jumped the gun an hour ago the last song on the list of the best songs ever featuring the bow diddly beat is i want candy one of the scariest songs there is by the strange loves oh i gotta admit i did not think there's a next song it's right there russell you're the first person i've listened to all night that

[71:32]said this was the bow diddly beat hey rob we can cut aaron out on that part yeah we'll get rid of that cut them out on the other times you didn't laugh at my jokes too yeah that's oh no that's what russ's editing emails usually are it's like less aaron i'm freezing again now russell can i just say this two two songs ago your list was all about how they were in hollywood getting inducted at the same time now there's no way you can make a great segue from that talking so much about

[72:00]hollywood to this next song no i'm about to this is the greatest end to a list ever if you allow me to lead you through it so this song the i want candy was created by the songwriting team of bob feldman jerry goldstein and richard goatager they were known as fgg they created the band strange love and create sing the song i want candy and they really just producers they weren't like artists so they played this song and they made up three fake names that they were from australia they made

[72:31]up this band they made up this whole thing like they're you know this new group so they go out with the song i want candy they go on the road and they're opening for this band and the band is called ricky z and the raiders have you guys ever heard of ricky z and the raiders before no that's new to me so ricky z and the raiders are opening up for the strange loves they're playing i want candy and they're hearing this they hear this 16 year old guitarist 16 year old guitarist and lead singer is named rick zarringer later becomes known as rick derringer so they bring back this 16 year old

[73:04]in his band in new york and they're like these guys are awesome we don't want to be out on the road traveling but we have other songs that we want these guys to sing and one of the songs that they had them sing is hang on sloopy which gets attributed to the mccoys you guys remember hang on sloopy by the mccoys yeah that's rick derringer who was once the 16 year old kid rick zarringer so they sang the song the mccoys were really this band that was opening for the strange loves

[73:32]so they go on this song becomes a number one hit rick derringer becomes a big star he plays with edgar winter group and he sings i think um rock and roll hoochie coo yep rock and roll hoochie coo rick derringer and then he also sings the demolition wwe theme song and most importantly the hulk hogan wwe theme song this is the guy who at 16 years old opened up for the strange loves for the scariest song ever i want candy so if there was no such thing as i want candy

[74:04]there would be no such thing as hulk hogan brother brother wow amazing butterfly effect if it weren't for the diddly beat does hulk hogan exist does this podcast exist no it doesn't wow this is incredible and it's so weird russell because you remember that joke i announced at the beginning of this bit okay is this it it does relate to hollywood hulk hogan and of course his

[74:31]wife's friend okay because when you were talking about the uh boat diddly beats and the hand jive yes i thought for sure you're talking about that hot new craze okay or as my grandpa calls it i've been oh diddly in that rock and roll hoochie coo nice work russell great list yeah

[75:03]oh i think you're gonna say nice work rob on that joke oh that's hard path from through to the from the primordial nature of the boat diddly beat wow we wouldn't even be here without boat diddly no now guys little do you know that i used to be part of a superhero duo okay it was bust a nut man and orgasm boy but i just shortened it to oh boy this might be my favorite vocal performance of his i love when he's really good

[75:39]yeah i love the little edge in there you guys don't want to ask any questions about busta nutman you don't have any like further you don't want to hear more about his backstory i mean it feels like uh yeah i mean okay his backstory involves the the creep video all right maybe baby this

[76:02]maybe you want to become a background singer so bad yeah i'm sorry i could do this i know i could do this is that just crickets singing backup or did he hire other backup singers i think that's the crickets how do you guys compare this to the chuck berry that the great 28 plus the the last one that rob added the my ding-a-ling or whatever i oh i i think i like this more than chuck berry songs i think now there's some stuff

[76:35]about chuck berry that i do agree with but i don't know i'd like like i mean similar similar vibe right where when you first hear the first five or ten songs you're like this is incredible i can listen to music all day and then you get to the back half and you have listened to it all day and you realize like maybe you can take a break yeah it does i mean it's kind of like the the mediocre 28 russell and the fact that it starts i think we take a dip here pretty soon on this album right and that means it's time to start moving and listening to these songs matt what do you think what did you think of this album and how many times did you listen to it 100

[77:03]i did not listen to it oh what no yeah i was only off by one and a zero there's there's just too much new good stuff out there that come back there's some great songs on here but i'm not listening to 20 songs by buddy holly they're golden greats okay which is a bing search i'm gonna do later listen to me you guys know what i did we go see buddy holly at the history theater a while back we talked about that months and months ago i noticed i remember when i went and saw the johnny cash at the aim

[77:34]center they're doing that again i mentioned that they also have some other interesting ones coming up i'm gonna be going and seeing elvis christmas at the aim center taking my mom as a christmas event to go see elvis christmas and then they also have a couple other cover bands coming up here if you're into this there's a pink floyd band coming up cover band there also kenny kenny rogers the gambler not the twins pitcher they've got a kenny rogers show coming up there so if you're worried about your your spouse cheating on someone with that looks like kenny rogers do not take them

[78:03]to the aim center in december right i i if i did the kenny rogers show i would not do the gambler and just leave at the end everybody's like what the fuck i hate guys he just i just listen i'm not gonna do the gambler i just stopped by to see what condition my condition was in and they're like yeah oh yeah oh yeah see i'm smart i'm smart heartbeat you guys know the crickets are from lubbock texas the home of my

[78:33]football team for life the texas tech red raiders guns up guns up wreck you've been there right i i have not been i've seen them play multiple times but i've not been but not in two lubbock all right think it over i also went on a few dates with a lady from there once and it turned out she was in a big time scandal oh really tell us the scandal it ended

[79:00]up with a major ceo of a company um losing his job at a local company from a few years ago oh oh can i tell you guys can i tell you guys how fucked up my brain was when russell goes hey that reminds me of a woman who's caught a big scandal i thought for sure i was gonna get like a lubbock like a pun coming in like i would do like a like a dumb pun and then he was like yeah it's a major thing it was a real thing and i was like oh oh that's right sometimes people talk about real things on this show yeah it hides it doesn't hide the pain as

[79:32]well it doesn't matter anymore speaking of which listen okay i'm just gonna stop it again this song is called it doesn't matter anymore listen to how he'd be like i'm having a bad day my girl just dumped me she said i didn't bow diddly or enough this is terrible it doesn't matter anymore i'm gonna play this and just get in my feelings it's like oh it's the most upbeat song i've ever heard in my life this sounds like the the backtrack for like an intermission of a

[80:02]movie or something right is there a full orchestra behind him here i mean it sounds like he's got a few tracks on here with orchestra i gotta say his voice i love it when he does that weird like like the kind of the yodel i think then i think uh maybe the london philharmonic or somebody did a like a posthumous thing where they added some more orchestra like there's been some stuff released recently with more orchestral arrangements behind him so somehow that seems to fit for folks

[80:33]here's a song that uh somebody from compton named himself after it's so easy oh yeah a little growl in that one right yeah i enjoy that a classic word to 12 these are a lot of good songs here uh well all right i am totally notes free on these songs i gotta say genius not

[81:01]many notes i mean there's 20 of them so well all right so i gotta admit this one's good this one does not get the gold next this would be a silver i mean the next one's on the cocktails here what do we say on tracks like that track it track it this song next song is 154 on the rolling stones 500 greatest songs of all time man can you tell us what album was 154 on our list rave on what's 154 yep amazing race by arisa franklin that seems like forever ago

[81:37]now what's weird about this is that in this song on the album cover he has a pacifier in his mouth and glow sticks i didn't even think that was a thing back then you know what i mean rave on there's a cover of this on the cocktails soundtrack right and it's good yeah it is i mean i would argue it's much better but i guess the first has got to be higher on any list right yeah i guess so you know who i saw cover that song ray lewis i mean rave on i can't

[82:06]think of another one and he i don't know i don't know i don't know if i can think of another one shall be rave on ricky vaughn major league just associated now folks podcast is over i'm just doing my brain things raining in my heart there we go another commercial like we've got someone cleaning a table on a commercial right now right like with

[82:32]a paper towel so you're telling me right now there's not a you can't picture your grandpa bra to this song but it's raining because imagine i want to picture that i mean i didn't say you'd want to you sick fuck i just said you can't aaron pull your head out of the gutter so your grandpa is fumbling with a bra it doesn't have to be your grandma's it could be any bra because can you imagine what bras were like in the 50s it's got to be beige right oh you know it's beige and you know it's like look i did their hooks back then do they have hooks what do you think bras in the

[83:03]50s how were they attached they had to be monsters probably got to have two keys to open that thing right don't don't lose god i almost passed out russell knows russell knows what gets me and it's my own jokes from earlier all right true love ways bad russell that was funny this song i gotta say recorded 21st of october 1958 three months before he died the song was a wedding gift to his wife

[83:32]okay i wonder if she liked it as much as mine loved that best bike gift card i got her i mean if you if you get married within 24 hours or whatever or engaged within 24 hours it's like your wedding gift really mean a whole lot like how much energy she needed to put into that that's true i mean this is this is right before he met her right this has to be right before he met her and then he's just like ah hey this will get it over the hump right russell i tell a sweet story and you're coming in with the hard truth i love it i think

[84:01]it's great hey i made you this i made you this wedding song is your name leggy bue by any chance oh it's not gonna work peggy sue got married is there anything better than song sequels i love song sequels i can't get enough i feel like i don't know like burritos are better or like no hanging out by yourself listen if i was if i was hanging out by myself listening to a meatloaf

[84:32]bat out of hell too i mean sign me up let's do it what other famous song sequels are there i'm looking that up right now we've done a list on this before actually oh fuck i was gonna make a joke that i was gonna make a list and russ has already done it we're in leception russell i'll wait until you pull it up we gotta see what is going i'll pull find it well this next one guys you'll never guess who wrote this song it's a song called beau diddly

[85:06]there's the rhythm what rhythm aaron would that break russ's heart do you think if you listen to that joke and i said what that's wild that he re-recorded like that he covered the beau diddly song oh yeah he's singing as beau diddly hey what if beau diddly was a tall white nerd oh this song now i gotta ask you do you think buddy holly was a nerd because he looks like a fucking nerd right

[85:34]no he rocks too hard too hard to be a nerd that's i don't get it he's got those glasses i don't know it's tough he was like a nerd that fucks i mean it was really this is like black is white up and up is down you know when you're rock and roll stars look like computer programmers that's fucked that's the 50s for you i mean that's why old people are so weird they didn't their rock and roll stars look like nerds okay what kind of society was that the the good old days i guess no aaron don't say like that

[86:00]that sounds really bad on the outcast aqua mini episode we did do a list on the part two slash sequel songs but i'm having a hard time finding the song oh don't bother us i guess hey you know what our listeners should do go back listen to one of matt's favorite bands outcast and the album aqua mini don't say it's aqua everybody everybody knows that and everybody is always knowing that don't laugh at me that's you cannot laugh at me from the past so i know the times it's almost i know the time it's almost like back from more than two years

[86:33]ago oh god oh jesus don't say that russell it's 41 oh my god all the time i've spent locked in this laundry room talking to you guys that was number 49 on the list oh wow that's over 100 hours ago and san francisco 49 on the list guys times a flat circle think about it this russell you ever heard this song before it's by a guy named chuck berry brown-eyed handsome man oh this is a fast version yeah it's way faster than the chuck berry version

[87:06]way faster than johnny cash version yeah this is definitely an amphetamine version right this is a we were not sleeping tonight driving through the night on the bills version some might say it's faster than a roller coaster oh wow russell last song on the list the 20th of the 20 golden grades wish you did it oh wait i'm not recording we gotta start this over

[87:36]ding nobody likes this song all right and you guys probably didn't know this but i wanted to put this on here because i wanted to put on just a little bonus song okay see if you can pick out i was a little bitty boy my grandmother bought me a cute little toy silver belt hanging on a string

[88:05]hey can you put that silver bell on the screen on my face while i videotape it here was the list of the greatest sequel songs ever from aqua aqua mini no aqua mini it was alicia key's empire state of mind part two it's the one with jay-z you guys would know that pink

[88:35]floyd another brick in the wall part two another brick in the wall another another brick the unforgiven two yes god this is so good method man and red man how high part two yes and then finally one of aaron's favorites the roots the seed 2.0 the seed 2.0 with cody chestnut i gotta tell you what you just did that was i would say that was a top three list i've heard

[89:02]for sure five lists not the scariest but one of the best yeah well we're gonna have to wait 365 days or you know what guys i'm just gonna tell you this right now the next time you hear the scariest list okay you don't get to hear it again until 218 oh god do we know what that's next halloween we're gonna be on 218 okay please let's move on assuming no misses or man just turned off his zoom we got it we got it

[89:35]okay this is really really bad let's speed it up let's get into the rating system very popular did it better rating system oh yeah okay now guys all my love all my kisses you don't know what you've been missing have we been missing on this album not hearing it yet

[90:05]it's at 166 should we have heard it earlier it did this get rolling boned it shouldn't be so far back on this list or is it perfect right here okay at 166 this is the perfect place to be that is a rolling well toned or of course does this get a rolling groan okay should not be this high up on the list listen he's a fucking nerd it doesn't make any sense my mind is blown i can't

[90:30]take it okay this guy i'm trying to bully him in high school and meanwhile he's bow diddling my future wife it was also my mom because i traveled back in time have you guys seen that movie that's the bow diddly beat for you oh it's a bow diddly beat okay next thing you know my mom thinks bow diddly beat of the week this is my sneaky beat of the week oops i was a little late on that one

[91:04]uh aaron what do you think rolling well toned rolling bone or rolling groan okay 20 golden greats i've gone back and forth on compilations i think the last one we heard was madonna's immaculate collection and that one i thought belonged on the list when i heard heard the first five songs on here i was all about it i thought how much fun it is to listen to buddy holly i might be influenced by it being late at night and we just ran through all 20 of them in a row

[91:32]i'm not sure anymore if this belongs on the list at all or as high as it is i'm regretfully going to give it a rolling groan uh i regret to inform you you have a rolling groan buddy holly rolling in his grave uh russell what do you think rolling well toned rolling bone or rolling groan you know hopefully he's got a really nicely sealed casket so he doesn't have a bunch of piss ants crawling all over him right that was this episode unbelievable buddy holly's a legend you know i don't know

[92:04]where he would show up on this list there might just be some musicians that aren't going to show up on this list i can't get past compilations being on the list i don't think they should be treated the same i think we've been pretty consistent with that for the most part although i know we just made an exception a few weeks ago for johnny cash but for me i don't think the greatest hits or the the 20 golden grades should be on the list but he's a legend he's here where like a lot of you know rock music comes from you hear where he took stuff from other legends so it was a great experience to

[92:32]listen to it i'll listen to this again but it should be on the list if you want to listen to it shouldn't be on the list for me so i'm going to say it's a rolling groan too high on the list matt what do you think rolling well toned rolling boned or rolling boned i think that was an audible yawn by rosie just for john no no no i covered it up you know what guys if you do yawn it's fine nobody's gonna get mad about it and then listen to it back when they're editing and then feel bad like a couple days later uh i think we have to remember that there's not albums back in this time right there you go like there would not be enough right you know

[93:04]so i get it but i mean the the list is the top 500 albums of all time so if we want to include somebody who doesn't have an album i mean it's just you know put them on the greatest song list or greatest writer list or greatest guitarist or greatest you know whatever you want to put so i'm with you guys it's a compilation obviously there's some great songs uh but i think there's many albums that deserve to be ahead of this one so i'm gonna say it's rolling groaned

[93:31]unfortunately you're incorrect okay sure this actually gets a rolling origination okay buddy holly elvis presley chuck berry little richard jerry lee lewis fats dominoes they invented rock and roll this is the basis of it that's why it gets in a rolling origination okay and of all those guys of all those guys only three of those guys had problems with the age of the women that they took over state lines okay so i think that's pretty good not uh not saying something about the history of rock and roll anyway next up average

[94:03]next up hey be in the hall of fame yeah damn it i was just gonna say that uh next up listen guys listen to these numbers and see if you you can find the pattern 23 depeche 45 82 depeche 75 depeche wow depeche mode and the album violator that's very good i just hope that they think jesus is for

[94:31]everyone you know what i mean about the greatest albums of all time is that some sort of roman empire joke it's so good bro hey when i heard about the roman empire sequel you know what i said beck did it better oh i don't think about the roman empire yeah you ever watch the super bowl idiot it's right there that's well that

[95:03]gets a ding no oh no russell i got like four bits that doesn't get a thing at all okay you know what we're gonna do multiple things let's hear it i like multiple digs let's dig it guys did you know speaking of russell's trip to san francisco did you hear that minnesota golden gopher's great eric decker and his brother were both in the nfl together yeah they were both they were a double decker bust right how does that feel aaron
