Beck Does It Again: Sly and the Family Stone: Stand!

[00:00]Hey to all you foot freaks out there, this is Rob coming at you with another Beck Did It Better. Yeah, once again, we are taking this week off, but we are celebrating Sly Stone. Once again, we're going to show you our second, replay our second episode today. Guys, just to let you know, last episode, did I know that that was the one that we talked about the Hamburglar and Bratz? No, it's a happy coincidence. What a wonderful episode. And this one, of course, has the famous scatman funeral dirge, which I, of course, made by making the music minor and slow, and it's very scary to listen to.

[00:38]Now, I know everybody's wondering, Rob, what about your body scan? How did it go? Well, went down to the body scan place, getting ready to get my body scanned, which I'm not going to lie is stressful, because I asked people to say what they thought my body fat percentage would be, and I promised I wouldn't get mad, but I lied. I got mad at a lot of them, got really mad. And I guess... I get there, and I sit down, and the woman looks a little confused, and she says, oh, who are you?

[01:03]And I said, I'm Rob, and I looked at my email for my confirmation, and sure enough, the guy had put it in for next week. So I am going back Tuesday, so I did not get my body scan. My body scan is going to wait. So, am I A, going to lift a ton of weights and get buff, or B, buy boxes of mint Oreos, because they're on sale right now at the Duane Reade for $3. I bought three boxes. I bought $9 of mint Oreos. It's crazy. Anyway, Sly Stone is the best. I'm telling you, I've said it a million times on these episodes, but you should go watch a live show of his on YouTube somewhere.

[01:36]It's unbelievable. He's a musical talent. Got a little overshadowed by Brian Wilson, shadowed by Brian Wilson passing away, who we are going to talk about tomorrow. But right now, enjoy this episode of Sly and the Family Stone, where we talk about stand. Now, I'm sorry this episode didn't come out earlier today. However, I had a massage today at 10, and I didn't... I didn't get up early enough to record this a little bit and then get to the massage.

[02:00]I was actually... Woke up kind of a little later, had a rush to get to my 10 o'clock massage, which just shows you what my life is like in the summer. Okay? I'm maintaining. I'm building back up my energy to all my teachers out there. You know what I'm talking about. Unfortunately, June is almost over. Therefore, this summer is... I've already wasted it. So, something to think about. But thanks for listening. Call the Beck line, 802-277-BECK. And let's see. How many people listened to this episode the first time? 8.49? That's crazy. How many people have listened to the episode I released this week?

[02:31]Oh, 57. That is good. Okay? I won't ever do that again. Look at the numbers live on air. You can actually hear my heart break. That so many hours, or in this case, for these episodes, just literal minutes. I'm just... This is all it takes is me just recording this and putting it back out there. So, this is Sly and the Family Stone. Stand. And we recorded this in 2022. Enjoy from the past. I mean, we're all ghosts from the past. If you think about it. All right. See you. You know what?

[03:00]The hardest part of this part is, how do I end it? I keep saying, see you, but that's not really true. Talk to you later. That's so much worse. All right. All right. My voice is kind of... I kind of have the Sly and the Family Stone voice I can go into today. I'm going to have some bottom. I am a power bottom. Oh, Jesus. I take it all night. All right. Here we go. It's ready. We're writing 30 songs on the fly now. That's going to have to stay in now.

[03:31]Guys, I got to... Listen, I'm in my room. This turns out we're doing a riot going on. I'm in my room. I'm shutting you guys down. I'm just going to write a thousand songs. It's going to take me three years. We'll be fine. Is there a waterbed in there? I mean, this is early for it, but it does seem fitting, actually. Oh, yeah. I mean, I guess a corner, you kind of start in a corner, right? The start of the show is kind of a corner. I do see that the waterbed soundbite made the cut. Not a few weeks back. Oh, it's never going away. You never know.

[04:00]I mean, it comes up way more than it does in my normal life. I'll tell you that. In 2020, four friends decided to listen to every one of the greatest 500 albums as decided by Rolling Stone magazine. This resulted in a text chain that celebrated the music, excoriated the order, and led us to making this podcast. We are far from experts. We 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 one. One 19. Actually, Aaron, I disagree with you. I thought your brother was pretty good.

[04:30]You didn't have to trash before. I'm kidding. Sorry, Rob. I interrupted you. That's what he gets for bringing up the puking in the outfield story. Well, there's my brother. He'll be so happy to see me hit a home run. Sorry, Rob. I disagreed during your opening. This is from 1960 and 1969. It's sly. And the family stone with stand. You have to say it like that because there's an exclamation point in it to stand.

[05:01]Now, listen, guys, before we get started, this is real. Okay. I was looking up Scatman Crothers. I heard Scatman Crothers is alive. The actor from The Shining. And I was like, oh, I thought Scatman Crothers was the guy who did. I'm the Scatman. And it turns out that guy is named Scatman John. There were two famous Scatman. Well, there's two famous Scatmans. Two famous Scatman. And so he's a Scatman. I look up Scatman John and I have some bad news.

[05:34]And this is real. And this is something I made. And I'm kind of regretting it. Hang on, Robert. All of your Google searches in all caps. Do you always Google search? I'm telling my browser. What's up? Okay. I'm showing my browser. I'm in charge. Are you shifting the whole time or is it caps lock? You're not shifting the whole time. No, it's caps lock. I'm not a cycle. You know what? I'm right shifting. I'm right shifting the whole time. I'm using my right fingers to right shift. Like a sicko. That's sick. Fuck. Right. Shifting like crazy. I don't know if my right shift button has ever been pushed on my keyboard.

[06:02]Now that I look at it. So Scatman John, just to let you know. You left shift. If you're typing a left key, like you left shift. I always left shift. I always left shift. Yeah. I do two fingers at once. Left shift. Wait, what? Are you supposed to right shift on those? Yes. You guys are shifting with the other hand and you're typing. Yeah. What if it's like a capital W? What do you do? Didn't you ever pass Z-Bug in like fifth grade or fourth grade? What the hell? What kind of class B typing class did you take? I took the discount.

[06:31]I took Davis Meekin. And Davis Meekin, he was not good at typing. He was not great. Well, it's Mavis Meekin, but it's for cheaper. Fucking Dave. God damn it. You guys didn't do Mavis Meekin typing? That joke doesn't land with you guys? I'm doing Davis Meekin. I get it. I thought the cookies got sent to you this week. It sounds like they got sent to Ron too. So here's the thing. Yeah. Davis Meekin was like, ah, fuck it. Type whatever you want. Just use one finger. Who the fuck cares? And I was like, mom, you should not have got the discount typing program, Davis Meekin.

[07:00]He's like, you're mostly going to use keyboards to play video games anyway. So just know WASD, shift is run. Okay, get out of here. Anyway, listen, guys, Aaron, I don't want to talk about Davis Meekin anymore, okay? That's not going to be a bit. No Davis Meekin and no, stop saying so much shit about your brother. He did an excellent job. I'll tell you what. It's all fair. Now I feel really bad for doing this bit. Did you have a shirt on? Did you have a shirt on? You didn't have a shirt on when you did this. I did have a shirt on. I'm sad to say that Scatman John, famous Scatman.

[07:32]It turns out one of two. Famous Scatman? I mean, in this year, in memoriam, you could have multiple Scatmen. It's kind of crazy. But he passed away December 3rd, 1999. So I thought, what better way to- Look at the number one question that somebody asked. People also ask, what is the number one question? What disability does Scatman John have? Well, you know from his song, he stuttered because he said, I stutter, but not when I sing. That was the irony is that Scatman John had a stutter and he spoke out about it.

[08:01]And that's why, you know what? That's why today on Veterans Day, I'm in my full Navy white sitting here. I am saluting our nation's hero, Scatman John. So I have made a funeral song for Scatman John. And again, this is something I don't regret. I think this is a great idea. It's six minutes long, so let's play it. What the hell is this? I don't know what's going on. Everybody needs someone else to take over.

[08:31]What the last thing you said? I turned the Scatman into a minor key, slow dirge. I don't even know what album we're doing anymore. I spent an hour not with my family, figuring out how to turn the Scatman into a minor key dirge. I kind of don't mind it. I mean, it's not bad. It's kind of like a chopped and screwed Scatman. Man, this is why we do two episodes a night.

[09:05]Rob would have never pulled this shit out of two episodes. We got to keep it more busy. So to you, Scatman, I give you the Beck Did It Better Naval Salute. Coming up from a naval. That's how I did it. We miss you, Scatman, and we love you. Aaron, do you have anything you want to say about Scatman, Jen? No, I actually really enjoyed your remix.

[09:31]Yeah, well, if the Scatman can do it, so can you. And I think that those words have never been truer than today. So listen, enough of this nonsense, okay? Enough. This is crazy. Can we, I mean, I legitimately want to know, can we hear just a little bit of that Scatman dude? The real song? Yeah, can we play the real one? Was this not a huge song in your guys' childhood? I'm still confused about the old caps. This is a giant song in my childhood. Matt, Matt, just look at me for a second. Are we doing Sly and the Family Stone or what's going on?

[10:00]I don't know. You think I listen to the actual albums when we come on the show? Yeah, I don't know. Okay, I remember now. Oh my God, do you guys not know the Scatman song? Well, this bit would not work if you didn't know the song. I'll be honest, I was a little bit confused between Scatman and Fatman School. Oh, now I got it. Fat Boy Slim, too. There's a lot out there, and we salute you all. So now does this make more sense? That's amazing.

[10:30]It sounds like it's off the East Coast. I love it. Russ's friends are not going to text him this week about how great the episode was. I can tell you that. Okay. I'll send it to you. I just haven't screwed it. We'll probably get a positive text about Radiohead after the beginning of this thing, right? It's a 12-inch with an extra remix that vocals only. I wish. I'm going to whip out my big 12-inch. So here's the thing of my record that plays the blues, of course. Here's the thing is that, listen, two things.

[11:02]Number one, if you shift like I do with the left hand and the left shift key, type in shift like Rob. Hashtag shift like Rob. 802-277-BEC. Also, send a video of yourself typing a capital W, because how the fuck do you do that? Like this. I put my thumb here and then my finger. Two fingers at a time. No sense. No big deal. And then if you think. You don't use your pinky to shift? No, I use my ring. And then I use my middle for the W. I just tried it. What the fuck? You do not need a lot of being a teacher.

[11:30]So if I'm going to do it at all, I would use my pinky to shift and then go, you're using your ring finger and then go. This album is only eight songs long, Russ. We're going to be fine. Don't worry about it. Okay? If you thought my Scatman funeral dirge was good, go hashtag RIP Scatman. Okay? Send that in. 802-277-BEC. Or wherever. Or just tell the guys. Apparently, that's something we do, too, is we just text. The other co-hosts, they text me, giving us zero content. So a lot of that's been going on. I'm so upset. Sometimes I need to calm down.

[12:00]You know how I like to calm down? I listen to the radio. Let's turn it on. K-Rob. K-Rob. K-O-B. This is a shout out to all our fans out there. And trust me, we know who you are. Oh, yeah. Sometimes when I'm writing this song, I think about the people listening along. Yes. I used to think that it would be in the thousands. Now I know it's just mostly our friends. We don't get listened to by very many people.

[12:34]There's mostly Matt's friends, Sarah and Kirsten. There's Magic, Mike and Brian, the brother of Aaron. All these folks love my penis jokes. There's Aaron's wife at Gmail. There's Manny and Neil. Lou, Patty and Al. Yeah, yeah. There is Carrie and Gretel.

[13:01]We get listened to by dozens of folks. Barry from Burnsville loves the anal bleaching jokes. There's Joe and Steve. And then there's Darren. And don't forget about the data Baron. Yeah. We get listened to by very many people. When you want to hear about the greatest albums of all time.

[13:31]I noticed you can get one little shout out for the complimentary movie goers out there. There were not one. Oh, I forgot about Aaron's recording friend. I forgot about Replacements Guy and I forgot about complimentary movie goer guy. And I forgot about my two sisters. Whoops. My bad. And... And Melissa and Suzanne, there I said, I'm going to edit that in later. It's going to be totally clear. Listen, we are here talking about Stan by sliding the family stone.

[14:01]And this is a no nonsense podcast. We're getting right down to business. We're not trying to do anything avant-garde or cool because we actually get criticized for it. And people say mean things to us. Listen, but I would rather not be anywhere else, especially not in bed, but I'm talking to these three guys right now who want to talk about sliding the family stone and the album stand. Uh, I've got Matt in Minneapolis. Matt, how are you doing? Just doing great, Rob. Very excited. Can't wait to get into it. Thanks for having me. I'm feeding off that energy.

[14:30]Yum, yum, yum. Lick it up. I got a Russell in Minnesota. Russell, how are you doing? Guys, my beat is getting stronger and my music's getting longer too. Boom, shakalaka, boom. Yeah. Beat's getting longer. I never mind. No, no, no, Rob. The beat's getting stronger. Oh, the beat's getting stronger. That's true. The music's getting longer. That's true. I mean... It is. I mean, it really is a vicious assault going on. If you really looked at that, like, if you did it to somebody else, they'd be like, sir,

[15:01]you need to stop. Like, that's too much. It's just going to hang on, I think. Sir. Sir, please. Sir. Well, thank you. First of all, thank you for calling me, sir. It's the Wendy's. Yeah. I was knighted. Okay. I have a friend who started a new podcast. It's called the Timberwolves Podcast. He covers the Timberwolves on a weekly basis. Nice. That's a rough beat right now. What is it called, Russell? The Timberwolves Podcast. It's very good. And he's a former broadcaster.

[15:30]And it's funny. He does these little bits where at the end of every episode, he does like a wolves look back in time. And he'll talk about like a horrible Timberwolves moment, you know, in years past. Oh, I got to check this out. And in his last week, he talked about the time where Eddie Griffin got caught jerking off in his car. And he didn't have to make it. Now I feel bad, Aaron. But it was funny because the podcast that we know... Talked about Eddie Griffin wailing away on himself in an announcer voice. And it was the funniest thing I've ever heard.

[16:00]Have any professional wrestlers appeared on this guy's podcast yet? I'm going to have to check it out. I'm waiting for Dirty Ernie one of these days. Listen, next up, out in California. Okay. We've got Aaron. And Aaron, I was just thinking about, you know, old times. I have some people going back to St. Olaf this weekend for some reason. I have no idea why. But do you remember that guy at St. Olaf who was absolutely obsessed with counting? No, I don't. No, geez. I do. I wonder what he's up to now. Aaron, how are you doing? Up to.

[16:30]It's probably only in the high hundreds of thousands at this point. You can make it if you try, Rob. Let's talk about Sly and the Family Stone. I need to bring back the Scam Man parody. A lot of people are texting me. My phone's blowing up right now. So listen, here's the deal. I forgot what the next segment is. It's voicemails. I just remembered. Rob's eyes are not even open. No, we'll stop it. But we're... Seriously. Oh, I know what my voice... I'm sorry. Okay, here we go. Do we have a voicemail? Yeah, we got a voicemail.

[17:00]So here's my number. On the back line. 802-277-BECK. That's 802-277-2325. Every fucking time I've played this sound clip, you've talked over that. I can't not sing along. I can't not sing along. I edit it out every fucking time I do it. Don't call me Amy and ask me not to sing along. Every time I have to be like, okay, so Aaron. No, it was at the end. I say, call the back line. These are like a million times. He sings over it every time. I can't help myself. This is the first time Rob has actually pointed at anger in us at the Zoom.

[17:32]Like, I'm wondering if that's his pinky finger that touches the chip key on the left. No, this is my right finger. There's no shifting at all. This thing is just hunting and pecking, baby. Do you want to do it again to get a clean take? No. No, I'm not playing that against humiliating. Okay. Now, listen. It's a good thing we have a lot of extra time. This is a really long voicemail. Hi, boys. It's Claire the Square, Russ's cousin, calling in again. Just wanted to point out that at one point when, you know, people were calling in with

[18:02]voicemails that we were made fun of and said, oh, gosh, these people have nothing to do with their time. And I just want to point out that now you're begging for voicemails. And I believe you've been building some time while describing a music video that no one else could see. Can I just say right now? Yeah. This is extremely hurtful voicemail. Fair criticism. And it turns all four of us on.

[18:30]We love it. We love being criticized. Okay. This is our favorite thing. It's true that we, at one point, we were so high on our horse that we said, oh, we can yell at the back line. We can yell at these, make fun of these collars. This will never affect us. We will have to have no consequences for our actions. They like being nagged. Isn't that the right term? You treat them like shit. They like that, right? That's what I thought. But it turns out they do not. They do not want to call back. And yes, it turns out that we should have been nicer to you. So thank you, voicemail caller, for calling. And I just want to say that from the bottom of my heart.

[19:01]It's never too late to remind yourself that, hey, be kind to the voicemailers. And by the way, a lot of people like the video segment. Okay. A lot of people thought that was good. They wanted to see it. And guess what? It made a lot of people go watch the Chattahoochee. You didn't have to. Or you could have played it at the same time. Next time, we'll say push play and we'll all watch it together. Okay. Sounds like another idiot teacher. Not only do they use their pinky on the shift, they probably don't know how to do it. They play on a YouTube video. They play when the lion roars and then it's all synced up together. It's the third roar. The third roar. If you're a teacher, you play a YouTube video and then you do what I do, which is you put

[19:33]your mouse, not in the middle of the screen, but just slightly off to the side. And it bothers every single kid in the room. Incredibly. You just sit there. They're like, move the mouse. I'm like, no, it's fine. It's fine. Don't worry about it. That's brutal. They do not like it. That's so cruel. All right. Here we go. Be kind to the Bexters. Also, I got someone else who'd like to talk a little bit about their feelings. This is going to blow your mind. Hello, this is Jeff from Apple Valley. I've got a couple of bones to pick with you in particular, Rob. Oh, boy. And anybody that doesn't know. Oh, jeez.

[20:00]So, first of all, if you're wondering why it's a long voicemail, I think that does the answer itself right. This is a Rob and Sam show at St. Olaf College. I want to really address the issue of you almost getting me kicked out of college for a variety of reasons. Mainly, when you told me I didn't want to pay or left a message for LaRue Pierce. That I didn't want to pay tuition and I just wanted to not go to college anymore. I just want to point out the aftermath of that when he brought me into his office and

[20:32]yelled at me for not wanting to pay for college anymore and drop out. And that was one of the most awkward things I've ever had to deal with, was LaRue Pierce yelling at me. So, I want to say I haven't forgiven you all. You're bad human beings. In particular, Rob. Ross, you're awesome. The other guys, you're fine. Yes. Fine. Made it. I made it. It's fine. But I'm just going to go on the record right now and say I still have some issues that

[21:03]I need to work out with my therapist. Thank you. Listen, I hope he's not paying that therapist by the hour. My God, he'd be broke. Speedy as they those words there. But we're not making fun of the backstories. So, what'd you do, Rob? You went to one of your teammates wanted to drop out or what happened here? I did have a radio show. And it turns out that. You could, on the radio show, just call people. You could call people on the phone. Just call people. Talk to people on the phone. You could call maybe Dairy Queen and ask for a cake that has swear words on it.

[21:32]Or you could call the video store in town and ask for pornographic movies of different titles. And how is this unique to a radio show? Why is it I'm confused? Well, and so. So, then I got the good idea of, you know what I should start doing is calling the deans of the school, like the head of the school, and leave voicemails as people that are real, that are not me. So, I called. As Jeff from Apple Valley. And I said, listen, this is Jeff from Apple Valley. And what I said exactly was, I have not been getting up for a lot of my 8 o'clock classes. And I'm wondering if I could get a discount, if I could get some money back, because I

[22:03]just haven't been going. And that's on me. If I could just get like a few hundred bucks this weekend, then we could work something out later. That'd be funny. He gets called in. They sit down with him. I think at this time, I am 21 years old. So, this is not like right out of high school making mistakes. So, he gets called in. And to Jeff's credit, I have to say. He did not turn me in. He knew exactly who had done it. As soon as it happened, he's like, oh, that's, yep, Rob did that. And he said, no, that wasn't me.

[22:30]I'm sorry. I didn't leave that message. He never ratted me out. So, to that, I do have to tip my cap. Snitches get stitches. I've said it to you guys in private. I'll say it again. Jeff from Apple Valley. Best athlete I ever played with, like interacted with ever. Period. You never played on that softball team with you, though, I guess. Why? Yeah. Well, I thought you declared you were the greatest athlete on the softball team. You were better than Corey. Yep. You were better than Corey. You were a better athlete. You said you were the best on the softball team. He would have been the best player, but he was not. He's better than that Steve?

[23:00]He was the guy that when I got to college, I was like, oh, okay. I'm really nervous because I don't think I'm good enough to play football. And then I like saw this guy. He's huge. And then he's playing basketball for some reason. He's playing pickup basketball like preseason, which is probably a reason why we weren't a great team to start with right there. That's a bad start. And he was so good. I played with the best. He was the best player for why they're not good. He was so good in athletic. And I was like, oh, oh, I see. I'm totally fucked. I don't know. And they're like, oh, how old is this guy? Oh, he's also a freshman.

[23:30]Oh, that's great. Awesome. So good thing. Good thing I beat his ass in high school in the playoffs. Otherwise, what would I ever talk about with those FNL guys? So when you call the deans, what is your intention here? Just to have like these people have awkward conversations or what are you hoping to accomplish by that, Rob? Yeah, it's just chaos. It's the same reason I got caught this year, this week at a meeting at school where they're making a school schedule. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. The woman who's basically the third person in charge of the school is done talking and sits down and everybody kind of gives her a nice round of applause. And I turned to the guy next to me and I go, I can't wait for a schedule that we all love

[24:01]and nobody hates. And she goes, oh, excuse me, Rob, what'd you say? And so the whole thing goes quiet. This is the whole school. The whole thing goes quiet. And I go, fuck. And I go, I can't wait for a new schedule that we all love and nobody hates. And it gets a huge laugh. And I'm like, great. This person hates me now. It's just like my whole life. I can't help but just cause trouble. So what, how many classes do you currently have right now? Each day? Well, I mean, my busiest day for, but they're only like 45 minutes.

[24:30]So like, but like an average day, you have like two classes, two classes a day. Yeah. So you're completely fucked. Your schedules, you're going to have four to five. Yeah. I'm going to teach at 8am and then at two 30 and I'm going to have nothing in between, but I got to sit in that godforsaken place the whole time. So quickly, so quickly, the, the, the Dean you called was very strategic too, though, wasn't it? Right. Yeah. In that case. So Leroux-Pierce. Yeah. Leroux-Pierce was a Dean and a football coach and was one of the scariest human beings I've ever encountered in my entire life. He was absolutely huge to the point where we were outside and we were seen at the time

[25:02]when we were 20 some years old. It was the coolest thing I'd ever seen. A tornado forming directly overhead and we were all outside like this kicks ass. There's a tornado over. So we're sitting there staring at, this is going to be full on twister. We're going to see cows flying around and see women in white shirts. It's going to be the best. And this guy comes out, this Dean, get the hell back inside. And I was like, Jesus Christ, this is scary. It's scary as hell. We got to get back. This is an adult man yelling at 23 year old men. We are also men. I'll tell you what, if we want to get sucked up by a tornado, okay, or maybe lie down on

[25:32]the ground and see what happens. We can, we have that right. Okay. That gorilla grip. Well, I mean, I'll give it an F. You want an F5? I'll give it a five. With the left shift. Yeah. F-U-C-K-5. I mean. What does control F5 do? What does that do? I've heard about the Fujita scale, but the. I thought I was going to have something. Fajita. Nailed it. Yes, Rob. You're back. Rob, do you have old Rob and Sam shows?

[26:01]Do you have them somewhere? Yeah, I do. I have them on cassette tape. Because they should totally be put out on YouTube or something. Just a, you might get more, you might get more listens to that than this podcast. I was actually going to upload it as a podcast one time. Just throw it up. You should. But I was concerned because I was like, we play so much copyright music and I don't want to go through the recordings and edit that out. But now if you're having this podcast, I realize it doesn't matter. It does not matter. Nobody cares. Like nobody's going to listen to it. You can do whatever you want. So I should, I should digitize all those because I know what's going to happen. The tape is going to like give out my memories.

[26:31]But I know also that when I listen to it, it's going to make this podcast sound really super advanced and fancy because I never prepared anything. It might surprise you guys. I never prepared anything for that show. Didn't have any idea what we were going to do. That's why Russell and Aaron's show was so much better. They would come in and be like, we're going to drink a gallon of milk. And I was like, God damn, that's a good idea. I need ideas guys. I need guys like this on my show. Literally the one prepared joke we ever had. We literally read Onion articles on air and said like, this is a bit. And we read somebody's Onion article. Like that's plagiarism. Like that's just stealing a bit.

[27:01]Stupid, stupid stuff. Waste of time. F5. There's something there. There's something there. No, there's not. There's not. It's time to see what everybody's up to. It's time for Rollin' Gold. Yeah. Ah, Rollin' Goin'. Rosie, how is it? This is the segment where Rosie says how it's going and we all say what the hell. Rosie, how's it going? It's going great.

[27:31]I do have a theme for tonight's Rollin' Goin'. I prepared a theme. Do you guys mind if I talk about gambling? Yes. Is anyone in this podcast interested in gambling? I thought you meant this theme. I thought you meant you had a theme. I was like, oh, that's a good theme. That's a good theme. Yeah. Aaron, unless it involves, why is LSU Line so good? So low compared to Arkansas tomorrow? Which, by the way, I just saw on TikTok and I'm obsessed with. Yes, I would like to talk about gambling. I will say the one piece of real gambling news I saw is that we missed the chance to bet the under in a college basketball game on an aircraft carrier that happened today.

[28:05]Like, if you look at the all-time stats for college hoops games that took place on aircraft carriers, like, there's some incredible low shooting percentages. Like, always bang the under on that one. But I've been gambling a bit lately on a few things. First thing tonight. Tried to make some shawarma for dinner. So always, right off the bat, you're gambling if you're trying to make something that you should be professionals. Yes. Secondly, my lady is not a garlic fan, but I bought some black garlic, which is supposed to be less potent than regular garlic.

[28:38]So I gambled by putting some black garlic in. It's fermented, so it's milder. So I snuck a little garlic into the white sauce I made for the shawarma. So that's a gamble right there. Today. Today, Third Man Records released the first of their reissue series. They released first pressing, first official vinyl release since 1974 of Alice Coltrane's classic, Patan the Elder Ood.

[29:02]This came out today. I could have pre-ordered it, but I'm gambling. I'm going to go to the record store tomorrow, see if it's still there, see if it's not sold out. This is an incredible record, one of my favorites of all time. I really hope it's still there. But I'm gambling on it. I'm gambling. See if it's still there. I was just about to make fun of you, but I'm excited if it's a record, if it's one of your favorite records of all time and it's re-released. I'm so excited for you, Aaron. Thank you. I appreciate that. That's Alice Coltrane. Pharrell Sanders on tenor sax in the right channel, except on alto flute on the second

[29:31]track. Joe Henderson, tenor sax, alto flute in the left channel. Ben Rowley on drums. The left channel? Okay. I'm not, Aaron. I'm not excited for you anymore. I'm bored for you now. Alice recorded this in the basement of her house and she put the saxes on each side. But what I really want to get to is along with the gambling theme. So I mentioned to you guys that I went to this wedding in Kansas City. One of our listeners got married. It was a beautiful wedding. I told you they served steak and chicken at the ceremony. So that was amazing.

[30:00]Kansas City. I mean, that makes sense. That's known as a salad in Kansas City. The other thing I, exactly. The thing I didn't mention is that I, there was a groom's sort of, like a bachelor afternoon on the afternoon of the wedding. So the groom. A stag party, if you will. A stag party, if you will. And so the groom and his, his buddies went to a, a distillery in Kansas City and I was lucky enough to be invited along. And even though I don't know any of those guys all that well, and it was a, you know, it was like one of these activities where it was like a disparate group of dudes.

[30:31]It was like, yeah, the groom's friends from Kansas City. I'm the groom's brother by marriage. There's like the, the father, the future father-in-law was there, you know, the groom's brother-in-law was there. So it was like, you know, guys from kind of from all over. And it's kind of this awkward thing until one of the guys from Kansas City breaks out some dice. And a big stack of ones. And all of a sudden we're just, we're playing a game. The game's called threes. Do you guys know this one? No. Dude, you're throwing dice in a distillery?

[31:00]Yeah. I know six, five, four with dollars that, you know, that's about all I know. And if it's anything like that, it, it was probably awesome. Yeah. It was fantastic. It was, you know, you go around, you try to get the lowest score possible. A three is a zero. Every time you, yeah, it doesn't matter. But all of a sudden, like you've got this group of guys who barely know each other and all of a sudden it's. It's exciting. It's fast paced. People like, so I. The juices are flowing. Yeah. The juices are flowing. So shout out to the guy who carries the dice. I kind of want to be carrying dice guy.

[31:30]He also, it was like a nice set of dice. Like he definitely kept this in his, you know, on his person for this purpose. I was really like, shout out to that guy. That would be awesome to be a dice guy. I think that would be fun when you're in a group and you're just like, and he, he just said it when he's like, this is my fucking time. This is it right here. I've been carrying these dice for years. He slapped those ones down on the table and said, boom. Yeah. And it's like everybody. Cause everybody's kind of staring at each other. Like, Oh, Hey, what do you get? Where are you from? What do you do? Whatever. Shut his video. He's so excited about playing dice. There it is.

[32:01]And then I was like, well, you guys mind if I get in all I got to 20 and they're like, Oh yeah, this guy over here, he's got a full stack. Like cash them out. Like get in for a dollar. It was amazing. So gambling really brings people together. Yeah. I think it's a fantastic idea. So shout out to that guy. And they're going home to their friends. I mean, gambling brings everybody together, but they're going home to all their friends at home and be like. Yeah, I went to this bachelor party and it turns out one of the guys was a real peep show guy. He kept saying, Hey, let's go to the peep show. Like you kept saying it over and over. Like, Oh, let's go to the peep show. I know there's, there's a peep show.

[32:30]Let's go to a peep show. And it's like, I let's have God, I got on my dice. I was like, please, we can't go to the peep show. You guys ever do like a poker game night or anything like that with friends? You guys ever night or anything? I've tried that. It's been a long time. Yeah. So my move at card night is I always want to be the bully. I always want to like, like when everyone's betting, like 50 cents and being nice and letting everyone stay in the hand. I'm always like, fuck it. I'm betting big. I want to be the jerk. I want to be in control of the game. I want people to fear me when I'm at that card table.

[33:01]What's your guy's style when it comes to poker or that type of thing? My problem is, is I play with all Richfield people. So they're all conniving sons of bitches to begin with, you know? And so, but the one guy he would go when before diamond Joe's down in Iowa, just over the border had their, uh, they now have a, a sports book as for about a year ago. But before that they had a poker room and all these Minnesota people would have got on there cause it was no limit poker. We're up in Minnesota. It's yeah, it's limit poker.

[33:30]And so everybody would want to go down there. So he would go every Friday night, every God damn Friday night, every Friday night, he'd go down and play poker. And so he's the one who's hosting this, this card game. Right. And so he's got a poker table. He also set up half of a craps table and would practice craps, you know? And so like, you know, he was, he's one of those guys I'm a basement away for being this guy. I swear to Christ. I mean, he's one of those guys who's taken like the classes. Like if you hold these right. And if you get the flick of the wrist, right.

[34:01]Every time you're, you know, you're getting, you're gaining an advantage kind of a thing. So this is the guy that hosts it. So Russell, as much as I would, and then everybody else, like, it's the old thing, you know, you look around the room and if you can't tell who the sucker is, it's you, right? Like, like I just know that I'm the sucker playing with this at this table. Right. So these guys are, you know, they're ruthless. They never get like big bets or anything, you know, but like they just go cutthroat at each other and they've been best of friends since they were like eight kind of a deal. They're a couple of years older than I am.

[34:30]And so I played a lot of sports with them. So I've known them for about half as long as they've known each other kind of a deal, but they're ruthless. And so I cannot even come close to trying to bully them because they sniff me out as soon as I even just blink like, Oh, well, let me see. I'll raise you there. They just started laughing at me and like, all right, motherfucker. You know, I know what you're doing. I would be. I would be suspicious if I went to somebody's house for a poker night and next to me was a half craps table that they obviously I'd be like, Hmm, I don't think I'm going to do too much at this game.

[35:00]And you know, in Richfield guys are getting together too. They're playing games like, you know, three card Muskegee, hold them, shoot them where you got to like know all the different rules. And it's like, well, there's 19,000 games. And every time they have to tell me like, all right, no, this is, here's how you play this. I'm like, okay, I got it. So, yep. They, I mean, they are pulling stuff in between. They got an, a guy's got an in-between deck or a holder just, just for in-between for whatever it is, you know, I don't know. So yeah, these guys are crazy. Yeah.

[35:30]The games like guts and in-between are the best. Any game where it keeps doubling up on the loser and someone came thinking like, oh, I was just going to have a fun night and lose like 40 bucks. And then they lose like 220 bucks because something kept doubling up on them and it ruins their night. And they have to wonder how they're going to explain it to their spouse. That is a card game. That's good. That is a card game. And then you, you get the 200 bucks, but it's mostly in quarters and you're like, what the fuck am I going to do with this? Is this just going to sit in my car forever until somebody steals it? I mean, this guy, this guy, you got to buy in with chips. I mean, he's got his own chips with his own initials on them and everything.

[36:02]I would say that's the warning sign number two. Right. Oh, how did you afford these chips? Oh, these, these games. So, so yeah, that was it. Gambling brings people together and it's, it's an important piece of life. So Russell, what's, what's rolling going with you, man? Rolling going, you know, the last few weeks or we've been talking, you know, I've been requesting music on my Venmo. Yes. So this, this last week I actually went on another music adventure and I bought some music, but it wasn't with my Venmo. It was at a record store. Oh yes. No,

[36:30]wait, we have that. Good for you. Do you hear that? It's time to talk about. Wow. Yes. That is a throwback. We haven't done that one in a long time. Nice work, Rob. Made the cut. So, so this time I went to a new record store. I've been to the one in South Minneapolis before. I think it's called no name records, but I believe Matt, the one Matt's talked about before is called road runner records. Wasn't that your story? That's it. Yep. About 46, the Nicollet.

[37:00]Yep. So, so I went to road runner records, a couple observations I wanted to share before I talked to you guys about the music that I chose one. What are your guys' thoughts on a really narrow record store where you can barely squeeze by the person who's looking at records? What are your thoughts? I, I, I, I don't need to be accused of, you know, groping in the Otis Redding aisle. Like I do not just get me out of there. I don't like narrow stuff. I don't like narrow stores, especially with how big and broad I am. I'm just like, I feel like I just feel huge. I feel like a Gulliver's travels looking through those,

[37:31]those stores, just huge. And all these little opusions with their tiny records looking at them. I respect it making the most out of their space. It's probably, you know, not cheap to run a record store, but yet it feels, it starts to feel a little sweaty in there if you're in there for very long. It doesn't, it doesn't feel like you can peruse, for very long, as soon as more than three people get in there. Now I'm trying to remember Russell's record style. And I think it's a list, a record from the list. Record from the list is one play on the playbook. Yep. You get a, Oh, was there a record in the sale bin?

[38:00]Right. I've won best $1 record is correct. And then there's a, and then there's a record. What's the third one? It's a record that we've talked about. That's like non on there. I don't, we have a new one, a brand new one. That's right. Not a used one. And then the last one, of course, Rob is, I'm going to pass out every time I go to road runner and I'm immediately running my plays because, you know,

[38:30]I'm already worried about the narrow hallways and like, you know, trying to get by people. I just need to get in, run my system, get my records and get out of there. So I see one that is definitely going to fit the bill for the, what's it called? The most perverted, but I choose not to buy it. Cause I think it's going to be the most perverted. I don't think it's too perverted. It's pornography by the cure. Oh, okay. Well, I mean, all right. Listen, I know it when I see it. I mean, that's for sure. Is there, are there any songs in there? We know. I decided not to get that one.

[39:00]I thought it was too perverted. I didn't know where to put that one. And I was trying to fumble, you know, how I go in the corner and I fumbled through the records to put them in a respectable order. I didn't know if pornography should go first or last or where to go. So I put it back, but there were three, three things that I noticed about this record. Store that I had to share. They had sections that I wanted to talk about. The first was they had a specific section for canned heat, canned heat, canned heat. I opened it and there were no records in the heat. And then there's no records.

[39:30]There was no. There was no. Alternatively, they did have a section that was stuffed full of records. It was, it was Johan Sebastian Bach. They have a box section. That'd be all right. There's probably some good stuff in there. I wouldn't know what to look for, but I'll also look through the section on Tom Waits. This is one of the record stores where it's got all the names listed. And I was looking for the creepy Tom Waits song,

[40:01]but I couldn't find, I didn't know the name of the creepy song. What was that one again? What's he building in there? What's he building? That's on the, that's on the mule variations album. If you ever find that one, he doesn't wave when I walk by. That album also has come on up. To the house, which is a great fucking song and the house where nobody lives. So eventually I start running my system. The first record in my system, highest one I could find on the list was born in the USA. Oh, yes. There he is. Yes.

[40:30]Vinyl with the boss. You guys have any Bruce Springsteen records. I have, you got a lot of them. Yeah, I got four. I think I've got Nebraska. Uh, I was going to say, of course we don't, but it turns out I know the guy here. I'll take Bruce Springsteen record. I used to have the river. I'll be honest. The river is the one I gave away. That thing was too much of a downer. I couldn't handle it. Next record. Next record. I came across, I decided to add a new record to my, my strategy.

[41:01]And that is if I ever go see something live, I want to get the record of it. Right. I like it. I like it. So the one I got this week is a buddy Holly record. Oh yeah. It's got Peggy Sue on it. Rave on a bunch of other awesome songs. So I figured anything you've seen live, you need to see it. You need to get a record of it is the way to go. Right. Well, it's also super fun to listen to. Like that's the greatest music there is. I just want to be clear. You didn't see buddy Holly live, right? Yeah. Like, you know that, right? Like you saw a play where somebody was playing buddy Holly. I mean, if he was going to see buddy Holly live,

[41:31]who would he have to call first to see him? Like how would he make that happen? I mean, maybe they would call us, you know, anybody who could hook that up. I don't know. Like, could anybody make that happen? Hello. Hello. Hello. Who's this baby? What's going on? Oh, big papa, baby. You got to go through me. If you want to talk to buddy Holly, can you put us in touch with buddy? Yeah. You know, you know, he, buddy Holly,

[42:00]he loves, I'm losing a little bit, buddy Holly to talk to lawyers. Do you know why buddy Holly loves to talk to Leo lawyers? Why does he like talking to lawyers? A Pegasoo, a Pegasoo, a Pegasoo, a Peggy. I mean, I knew I would regret that. A Pegasoo. Hey, I heard that buddy Holly got engaged after only knowing a woman for five hours. What are your thoughts about getting engaged after five hours, popper? I asked him about that baby.

[42:30]And you know what? Buddy Holly said to me up here. What'd he say? First of all, he talked like this because his face got smashed in, in the plane crash. And it turns out that that affects you in heaven too. You can do whatever you want in heaven, but you are, if you get your face smashed, your face is smashed in heaven too. A lot of people don't realize that. They don't think it's great theology here. I didn't know. Yes, it's true. That's from pastor Bruce. I asked buddy Holly, why did you marry a woman after whatever Russell said earlier? And maybe I wasn't listening so closely. And he said, you know, big popper. I just wanted to see her.

[43:00]She had a pretty face. He wanted those pantaloons, baby. Oh yeah. Well, it was nice talking with you, big bopper. We'll have to give you a call next time we go to the record store. Please call me again. I'm so, I'm so lonely. I'm so low. So lonely. So lonely. I don't get to talk to the big bopper as much as you guys do. I think I'd like to, I think it'd be something that I got a lot of questions.

[43:31]So the next album on the list, I had to add another category. I guess this one could be the most perverted because you guys know, I like talking about my whipping post. I got the almond brothers. That's the best. That is such a, that, that kicks is an all timer. That's a great idea. What a great jam band. One of that would be considered a jam band, Matt. Absolutely. That's the jam band to start. All jam bands.

[44:00]That's awesome. Rob always talks about like the mood music. If you were playing this in college, if, if I had people over and I'm playing, I'm playing the almond brothers live at Fillmore East that people are impressed by that. Right. Yeah. So I added another category to my list that I'm probably going to be keeping going forward. I think you guys, are we up to eight categories now? Yep. I love it. Okay. So this category is something that I've heard Aaron recommend, but hasn't been on the list yet. So this is an Aaron recommendation. Oh, okay. This album is Aretha Franklin young,

[44:30]gifted and Aaron has always said that this is his favorite Aretha album. We've listened to a couple, but he says this is the one. So I got Aretha young, gifted and black. What are your thoughts on that? I love that. That's wonderful. That's got Donnie Hathaway on keys. That's got Bernard pretty pretty on some drums. That's got, a great band and she's at her best. Yeah. Wonderful choice. Russell Russell. Here's what I think. Yeah. All right. So I added that sound. All right. I got, so finally the last thing they had.

[45:01]I also, this is not one of my favorite things about a record store. They've got the $1 crates on the floor. So you got to be like down in the catcher's position or down on a knee to like fiddle through the ones on the floor. This annoys me, but I found two gems in there. I believe Aaron may have found this one a few weeks back. This is one of my mom's favorites. It's Herbie man, Memphis underground. Yes. For a buck. That's a great record too. That's a great record. That's got a sunny share. It's a value.

[45:30]Yeah. That's a value by major players on it. And the last guy must've been like, what the fuck is this guy's deal with music? Like what? They got all this shit. He's buying. This is crazy. You guys side two of Memphis underground is chain of fools. The Aretha Franklin song. And the fucking battle him of the Republic side. Two of Memphis underground is amazing. It's so weird. And it's so good. So the last one on the list is one we've talked about before. I'm going to give you the songs or the tracks and see if you guys can name

[46:03]who this artist is. Oh shit. Okay. First side. One is Abe Lincoln versus Madison Avenue. Introducing tobacco to civilization. Oh, this is Bob. Newhart. I know exactly. I got the best of Bob Newhart. Unfortunately, there is no, uh, what's it called? Baseball or whatever, but they've also got the cruise of the USS codfish retirement party,

[46:31]returning a gift and the grace Ferguson airline. Give me one Russell. And I'm going to do his bit for you verbatim right now. Introducing tobacco to civilization. Hey, Hey, here's the deal. I mean, you got to wonder yourself like tobacco, like how does it work? How does it work? of that even start so it's kind of like this it's like oh hey uh and then he's gonna probably do some super racist joke here so i'm gonna skip that part and then he's like hey i tried this stuff i i uh i uh i i dried it oh good okay should i try to grind up into a powder put in a paste and try

[47:01]it no no no here's what we're gonna do we're actually gonna roll it up into a piece of paper light it on fire and then breathe in all the smoke uh excuse me i mean i know i'm a brave but that sounds dangerous to me it's stuff like that you know there's a lot of like it kind of trends on the yeah that's pretty good yeah and then at the end he's there's like a paul mall but it's paul mini mall it's kind of it doesn't fit now because there's not really the mini mall scene you know you guys don't talk about that's impressive that's

[47:30]impressive thank you i also got a double back because billy preston also plays keys on young gifted and black so i'd be remiss if i didn't mention the fifth beetle billy preston you no idea so that's about my experience at the record store when i've got a new system got a bunch of new records that i think i'm going to enjoy so rolling going mad have we got to you yet how's it going with you no no great uh i i do love that store uh the last one i got i got rolling stone tattoo you a week and a half ago two weeks ago it's a double yeah and it's got my favorite song slave by the rolling stones which rob is playing over the top right now so you guys

[48:05]can hear every time every time you do that no you're not getting it every time you do that i'm like type type type here i am shifting and pushing with the buttons and then now when i do that with my left hand yeah i'm gonna think to myself left hand if i've been doing this wrong my whole life what else is a disaster for my whole life you know what i mean like i'm just gonna think like this is does this represent everything am i wrong about everything like it's um went to saw the smashing pumpkins and jane's addiction this past week and jane's

[48:35]addiction live is unbelievable unbelievable oh my goodness yeah and perry is back and he's stoned to the bejesus and having conversations with the crowd and it is just awesome it is just awesome and so i was so surprised at how well jane's addiction played you know and it probably makes sense right like they're really good and then they got completely drugged out and couldn't figure out anything and had people coming

[49:03]in and out and all that stuff and now they're coming back around they're a little older and they're just professionals it was awesome did dave navarro play guitar for them at some point he did for a long time and i don't think he was on this tour because they would have there was a guy that looked exactly like him though yeah you know kind of a little taller hair a little bit longer that kind of thing he kind of is in the spotlight but not really like he's kind of not really yeah you know they did all that kind of stuff that looks like dave navarro so that was awesome um and then i've been doing a lot

[49:33]of traveling lately and i think i figured out a new game to play at the airport what game a new one um and so i was walking i was in the minneapolis airport so i i've got this thing down to a science now and so i had i had a seven o'clock flight the other day and so i'm just just letting you know how much i have this down in the morning was it in the morning not at night boarding closer boarding start you know supposed to start at 6 20 all right oh that's early so i was gonna get up

[50:35]and get sarah really pissed off at me me because i didn't make the lunches because i didn't get my ass up in time to make the lunches or do i just go i decided to make the lunches yeah i made lunches okay so then about 608 609 i'm out the door wow okay at 6 now man what did you make what did you make in their lunches what did you put in there um peanut butter jelly sandwich uh had some dots pretzels nice had some

[51:33]get in there i know that i gotta go to gold three you're parking at the airport too at the airport gold three this is the closest one to the you can walk over you don't got to take an elevator down it's on the level that you can take over the thing so i get there at 6 20 i get 10 minutes from my house door to door till i hit park okay so then i'm walking i hit park 6 20 walking walking out there lines are out the door i got clear i got tsa i am at my gate g3 at 6 27 right when

[52:07]they call for sky priority and so i have got this thing down to a science that's unbelievable so that's so that's that's not the game no but i just had to i had to tell you so then the next week i'm going and i and i got a little bit more time now right so i'm like okay let's cut a little close yeah so i got a little more time but now i gotta go to and russell might know this better than anybody i gotta go to like f 22 which is way down there all right and so they got all those

[52:33]walkways right that's getting very granular and so then there's walkways so they're going to go to you walk on the right or you you stand on the right and you walk on the left right and so you start going and if you're you want to walk right you don't you just you're not a prick or anything you don't push by people you know you just if people are walking a little slower you just kind of walk a little slower maybe if there's room you go around and stuff like that but there's always one lady who is in such a hurry so much more of a hurry than anybody else that she is just going to

[53:00]push by everybody and just be rude you know there's there's rules to the road right if there's if everybody's waiting to walk on that line there's five people you don't walk ahead of them you wait in line right so no new game no just to find those people get in front of them and then just take up no both rows and find somebody else you can walk with and just get them pissed excuse me excuse me and i'm like hey we're all trying to go to the same spot excuse me we're all trying to go to the same spot so that's my new game russell is that people who are rude if somebody's nice

[53:33]let them go but if they're rude if you're rude we're going to hold you up just for a minute just for being rude that's we'll find you and we'll walk at the same speed as somebody next to him on the moving walkway in an incredible problem the only problem is so this lady so i got i got ahead of her again and i'm and i'm slowing down and there's this there's this uh pilot who's with me and he's walking you know if we're if we need to be walking at pace 10 you know he's walking at about a nine so he's just slightly slower than this lady wants to go that is a fast walker too

[54:02]so if he's slowing down it's on purpose i've seen him so no but i had no i had to i had to kick it into overdrive and so the only problem with it was is i had another seven o'clock flight and so i'm sprinting with this lady but i gotta stay ahead of her so by the time i get to my gate f22 i am sweating balls right and so i'm like oh that's the only problem i had with that this the only problem that game is that you get a little bit too much workout then you go on the plane sweaty that's no good so that's my new game rob rolling going how's it going with you did you end up but you did end up making the plane oh yeah for sure i was gonna laugh my ass off if matt missed

[54:36]i missed both flights it's time for beck did it better we haven't heard this one in a while that might have been the picture though the second one that i sent you guys nobody behind me aren't your friends sending pictures of like them getting on a plane i was like there's so many layers there's so many layers i can't even start oh yeah she's like is this does

[55:02]this have anything to do why you take pictures with you or your thumbs down during a pilot's announcement i'm like yeah i've kind of done that i'm like yeah i've done that i'm like yeah i've kind of i mean it's kind of the same it's the same ballpark you know yeah we're in the same sphere listen how do you think you spell the band that's saying um uh uh knock me down you get up again what's that band's name chumba chumba chumba spell it for me please just off the top of your head c-h-u-m-b-a w-u-m-b-a guys it's fucking chamba wamba it's w-a-m-b-a with an a

[55:36]chamba wamba it's chamba w-a-m-b-a it is c-u-m-b-a chumba that makes sense chumba i get it you know what i've been chumba i've been on that train my whole life that's how do you spell labamba it sounds it's it's spelled kind of like that with the soft a right it might be correct you think chamba wamba is related to labamba that's the smartest thing i've ever heard you're fucking

[56:02]albert einstein over there i mean that's crazy well it's the same it's the same phonetics right or whatever you want to call that la la la la chumba wamba guys i got a great idea for another song i really do it's super good should we hit pause should we take a little break are we going or not yeah this is richie valen's famous colleague if we needed to it's chumba wamba my question is this though is like i've we've seen how many times did you see that video a million times like how many times

[56:33]have you heard about chumba wamba why do we call them chumba wamba when it's chumba wamba it's not it's like labamba chumba it's a soft day but chumba but aren't they british like british people pronounce stuff crazy like then it would be chamba wamba like they say stuff weird man the name of that song is tub thumping right yeah i mean that's true okay now we're doing chub thumping i let me see thambing god it's so

[57:06]you know tub thumping for these guys are so far back on their video page i gotta click back a couple i mean there's so many other chumba wamba videos that are up the front it's so weird play play a chumba wamba song that is not tub thumping i would love to don't think they're already there's gotta be you gotta admit though this is a bop why are we listening to this because i love chamba i love spelling and now the problem is i can

[57:30]pronounce it chamba wamba and that's not right either it's chumba wamba you guys know who might have had too many whiskey and cider drinks who it was the captain of the edmund fitzgerald i was reading today yes that yesterday was the 47th anniversary of the edmund fitzgerald crashing that's right i was reading about this that all these crashes happened because of these gale winds or gales up in in duluth i dated her on superior and so i read that of the 600 shipwrecks on lake superior about half have

[58:01]occurred during this time of year i would say that's that's pretty scary that is and sad do they say do they say pissing the night away there yeah is that what they say guys here's that famous other famous chumba wamba song her majesty and everybody should be calling her chumba wait wait yeah i know this one this is a cover it's a lennon mccartney cover yeah she changes from day to day i lost it but this is their only

[58:35]other thing i can find on youtube that's not how would paul mccartney pronounce and they did this song i mean this they did this it turns out his name you know what his name is scatman it turns out it's scat moon we'd never do it but it was spelt scat moon it's still i mean see that's mind-blowing you guys are laughing at my rolling going it's actually mind-blowing this was not a huge part of your

[59:02]life growing up was it i just all the times i've shown up and done a rolling going off the top of my head and rob says you had a week or two weeks or whatever and this is what you chose to talk about and here we are we're listening to scatman and talking about how to pronounce chumba wamba we're listening to the scatman i think for the fourth time today not the first time all right fine you know what guys a national hero is dead you guys are oh you're laughing about it okay we didn't see died in 2003 according to uh wikipedia other singles by

[59:35]chumba wamba include amnesia enough is enough time bomb top of the world ole ole ole and add me which add me doesn't even have a link so it can't be that big vinyl only did not get that one digitized they were like me with the robin sam show tapes don't have time to digitize this can't put it out there listen okay and a lot of people don't know this you know you know what how you know what scatman john did for a job he was a captain of a of a certain ship okay and i didn't

[60:04]want to bring this up and the last radio message i mean it's just heartbreaking the last radio message that we heard he said and they said who is this who is this who's calling this sounds like an emergency sos

[60:30]and he goes i'm the scatman so do you scatman you say thank you for your service both in the military and in the merchant marines we appreciate it i mean i really think there are some harder drums behind this thing yeah yeah if you crank up the drums a little harder producer now too yeah we definitely are i would

[61:03]i would rock to this rob said this is a good idea i would rock to this i would rock to this i would send this over let's see what we can do with it oh my god it's i want me to take a crack at it we gotta have an extended version oh it's so good listen we are talking about sly and the family stone and basically sign this family stone this is their second album after their album life life is their first album first of all i just gotta tell you right now i think sly and the family stone might be the worst namer of albums we've had yet their first one is life the second one is stand it's just we gotta get some better names now there's a riot going on starting to pick up

[61:33]on their third album after this but you know sly and the family stone we've talked about them before you know they're a multiracial band which was a huge deal in 1969 you know 68 69 and they were singing songs about you know civil rights and peace and harmony and and and but at the same time it was this super funky band with a keyboardist named sly stone and his sister was on the trumpet and his brother i think was his brother playing saxophone or something like that but basically sly said

[62:00]that when he was a radio dj he would play he said i got jimmy hendrix and i'd play bob dylan and then i played neil young he said i always wanted to keep the flow going differently i didn't want to get into a groove and you can hear that on every single sly and the family stone albums these songs they're almost not like they're not even like a genre almost right it's kind of like a psychedelic but then you'll hear a super pop and it kind of is all over the place which i thought was pretty neat about this album and then uh this was kind of this the album that came out right before their big performance at woodstock and apparently that performance at woodstock

[62:33]absolutely blew them up and i said this last time on the last line the family stone you need to watch live performances of sly and the family stone they are absolutely incredible uh the revolution will be televised that movie that q-tip movie they are it is an unbelievable experience watching them it's just great and then after this sly got quickly they said the year after this slide just got into cocaine like nobody's business and that kind of led to him locking himself in his room and making

[63:01]there's a riot going on which we've talked about previously and it was kind of all downhill from here so this is kind of their creative uh uh not maybe not creative apex but it's the apex is a band i think you were talking about summer of soul by quest love in case anybody's trying to find it that's what i was okay i was just you know honestly i write i i was trying to right shift and it screwed up everything but but yes their performances on there are amazing their costumes their performance the band super tight but you rob you're totally right it's almost uncategorizable psychedelic funk i mean it's them and funkadelic nobody else was doing it

[63:33]like this you're right it's almost uncategorizable psychedelic funk i mean it's them and funkadelic nobody else was doing it like this you're right it's almost uncategorizable psychedelic funk i mean it's them and funkadelic nobody else was doing it like this uh we're gonna get to find it in less than a year oh i'm gonna be sick what if we're sick that episode actually aaron would like that it would be great like i mean this like this one and maggot brain the two of them like together are just like i think they're kind of companion pieces i think when things get really stale for us we should do where we each record a solo episode we just take an album we do a solo episode same bits we gotta do the same bits but it's just solo and then we just each get to listen to it i'd love it i'd love listening i mean a matt solo episode oh my god it'd be so fun to listen to when you're

[64:03]just you mispronouncing chamba whambo the whole time it's chumba whambo we've talked about this okay it's not la bomba it's not chumba chumba listen i don't you're gonna get me back to scatman john again i just hate to think about him you know so scary yeah and somebody said you know scatman i the ship's going down but there's a lifeboat you know who's who's gonna pilot this

[64:32]you're the captain how are you you're not gonna help us and he said well if the scatman could do it so can you what would you call this open what would you call this opening track on the album here i think it is a titular track you know ever since i was in high school i would i love starting with the titular track it was one of my favorite things i think it's a great thing on an album it sets up the night in a right way when you know you're going to listen to this titular track

[65:02]i just want you to imagine you're at home you get this album okay you bought this and bob newhart came out probably around the same time you drop the needle on this think about what this sounds like oh yes and what's really interesting is when he recorded this song he played it in a club to see how it went right and it was a banger and they loved it until the end of the song

[65:31]and so sly said uh well i'm gonna go and re-record the end and you kind of see this future sly what's going to happen is that none of the band is around so he records it with just him and studio musicians and i've always wondered because i i was a big sly in the family stone fan growing up but you can hear it during this song you can hear where he tacks on the part you can hear the part where he tacks on the coda listen to the change in tone as it goes to the sessions musicians right there you can just hear that

[66:01]and they put on this kind of gospel type ending well i'm james brown i mean this is tighter this is like it goes from like muscle shoulders to the chitlin circuit this is not the family stone this is all sessions musicians which is kind of fun oh yeah uh don't call me n-word whitey now this song threw me because they spelled whitey with an e i don't know how i thought whitey was spelled guys today's kind of the spelling episode a lot of people are going to refer to this one as a

[66:30]spelling episode but don't call me whitey i thought i thought the guitars in this were just out of this world i i got to like the last 45 seconds but even you can hear it here we talked about this with the almond brothers it feels like the guitars are talking to you like they're using words oh yeah no my doesn't it feel like a conversation with the guitar yeah my son asked me which which person was singing in that voice like we're listening to this and he was like no no i like that one where they sing with like the chipmunk voice which person is singing that one because like we're showing pictures of sly in the family stone like check this out

[67:00]he's like which one is singing in that voice isn't aren't they using one of those peter frampton boxes there yeah i think so they have to right because there's a okay i was gonna say if he's just doing that with a guitar that blows my mind no i think there's i think there's an effect on it yeah okay good uh i want to take you higher this is a true psychedelic song one of their favorites to play in concert i think this band might have the best intros we've done

[67:30]all the beginning of the songs i gotta tell you guys when i was a sophomore in high school i played in the band for the show choir and we did this song and i was really fucking good i won't let anybody tell me different i was great playing this song what was your part in the choir what was the trombone no i played in the band for the choir yeah you were burying them playing take you higher i buried the bone somewhere that would be a fun song to play you're right and you know what i want to take you higher and this is going to be a little bit of a

[68:00]thing see if you can see if you can find the theme i have for today's show there was a song recorded the same year called i want to take you higher by a little band known as uh ike and tina turner oh and it whereas i want to take you higher got up to 38th on the list the tina turner ike turner version got up to 34 the same year it came out and did better wow oh and i see why this song is much better it's tighter yeah it just sounds like i think

[68:30]it's better oh tina singing this yes yeah it's so good but it just would suck to be like again it'd be like us having a podcast and something comes out with the same exact episode but just i don't know somehow better maybe more scatman bits where he's driving a boat uh the one thing i heard on this one is definitely the influence for one of the most popular video game sound bites in the history of video games rob can you pull up the sound bite oh sure

[69:00]oh yes yeah it's technically boom lock the lock on this but actually the guys who are making nba jam one of the producers was listening to a lot of the family stone yes and he told the guy who was in there doing the audio that you should try just saying boom shakalaka and he goes like i don't even know what that means and he goes just do it trust me and they put it in there and it became like the famous thing in nba jam so good boom shakalaka he's on fire so you're telling me

[69:30]that you're going to do it in nba jam and you're going to do it in nba jam and you're going to do it in nba jam and you're going to do it in nba jam and you're going to do it in nba jam and you're going to do it in nba jam and you're going to do it in nba jam and you're going to do it in nba jam boom shakalaka comes from sly and the family stone and the band is named chimba wham but we learned both those facts today this is blowed by fucking by mind blown this probably isn't earth-shattering either but uh that that outcast was probably listening to these guys but rosa parks they they must be they must have lifted that for the like a like a like a like a like a like a like a like a like a like a like a like a like a like a like a i agree that and the chamber wham is that both equally interesting and mind-blowing i mean this is a is this the first

[70:00]psychedelic podcast if you think about it think about what we've talked about today i would argue this is a psychedelic podcast i'm pretty sure we specifically had one that you call the psychedelic podcast this is the first funk song of all time this song is called somebody's watching you and it's terrible and the thing is sly and the family stone the good songs are so good and the bad songs are so good bad the bad songs are terrible on this album it is like whiplash listen to these lyrics

[70:30]to be played with toys etc okay i'm just gonna stop right there they use the term etc in a song that's crazy shady as a lady in a mustache there's like yeah i mean that's kind of like that's kind of a crappy thing to say now robin david jumping forward to like 245 or something put it near the end a little bit uh let me see 245 let me try it 245

[71:00]oh see i like this part though there's a little bit of i think it's an organ in the background yes you're right i was actually reading our favorite artist back actually has an organ that's influenced by sly and the family stone his song sissy neck sampled the song life and and a organ from that but check out the organ on this back song oh yeah what the fuck russell so that is a sample of life by sly and the family stone oh wow when it comes to

[71:30]sampling sly and the family stone with the badass organ groove who did it better beck did it better so russell heard a part at the end of that song and just goes back he's just like that like it's like a it's like a weird rain man thing where he's like better get on that the people at song facts.com are like jesus there's so many more beck searchers than there have ever been ever before this is outrageous uh all right but all you got is a hammer everything's a nail this and again this is just a

[72:00]start of the song listen to sing a simple song oh the bass on this one it's this one technically you have to be referred to as a groove yes in fact russell this song is so good that it inspired many people to cover it okay so this is the second song where we're going to go through some covers of sing a simple song first one i can teach you how to sing a simple song

[72:30]tina turner but she changed all the lyrics to bold soul sister and this song was not fair like i can see the turner were like just they were they had a different goal i mean i don't talk about ike but listen to this song it's good no it's not as good as sing a simple song this one fails the rob test not as good however so then next up okay

[73:00]we go to one of their biggest hit songs in fact this is a hit single prior to this album number one billboard hit everyday people another groove russell this is one of my all-time if i started a hundred song lists like matt scott this might be on there for me yeah how does it not bring a smile to your face every time right i mean his voice is so good the music is so good and you know who else thought it was so good eddie vetter dolly parton what

[73:32]i'm gonna play the cover and you guess the band okay i mean she sounds great she always sounds great sounds great i think musicians love this song because they're like songs do change lives okay name this band sometimes i'm right this sucks by the way jamba wimba jamba wimba close i'm gonna i'm gonna give you a hint watching your ass jiggle on that table will

[74:05]permanently scar me i'd do anything for it i'd buy a steak dinner oh no whisper sweet and as you can tell for the notes i once again just copied all the text messages i may need to see the booty uh you're 50 times hotter in person and so am i yeah body versus absurd so good then probably the most famous version of this at least in my life yep yeah this is the one i bought this i bought this whole cd just for this track well that's mr

[74:35]wendell right mr wendell is so good here brother man have two i mean now like this is such a good traumatic too like this is a little bit preachy and like i arrested development like kind of rocked my world when they first came out they were great yeah and then there's a band that covered this song and you'll never guess who it was

[75:00]and it came out three years later it's ike and tina turner god she could sing though got a little more space to it that was her thing right they were like an r&b review they were like on the road every night playing live right so they had to play stuff people wanted to hear i mean i love you know everything he was like a huge musician like he was a big time guitar player for a very long time right like he was well known as a kind of a pioneer in himself i'm telling you he did a lot

[75:34]of bad things right guys these songs are so good everybody's covering them everybody's going crazy with it you missed pearl jam i mean pearl jam covers it all the time you miss pearl jam rob that's okay we won't hold it against you that one's so good because it's got a lullaby in it remember it this was on the lullaby list oh yes that's right i totally forgot what you're the again and russell was that a fairy tale that was a fairy tale right wasn't that a fairy tale that you're talking about those are my favorite or fairy tale they're different with hobgoblins

[76:05]you guys got to check out so we earlier we were talking about the boom shakalaka it's kind of just these like random sounds right it's not words and we've talked with matt before like matt doesn't even care about the lyrics he just wants to like what is the feeling it's given him what's the sound and so there's another one of these in here where they're using nonsense lyrics right and they're rob check this out check this time cue out is it this one yeah just give it a second

[76:30]are they saying scooby-dooby-doo what is that i don't know i don't know wait this is pre scooby-doo i i read that scooby-doo came out just after this but some people think it was inspired by a song by frank sinatra who used scooby-doo on strangers in the night dooby-doo dooby-doo he is dooby dooby-doo but these guys on two songs sounds like a good idea kind of bundles of nonsense syllables so i thought we could do a list of the greatest songs ever

[77:04]featuring nonsense oh that's great it's a top five pearl jam song hey rob yes you can do as much scat banding on this list as you want because the scat man was b-bop bopping right he would be bop bop bop it and it is true that if the scat man can do it uh so can you so and i'm looking up scat man lyrics so i can make more jokes later thank you was 1955 i think we've talked about this guy maybe once before this

[77:33]is little richard doody fruity oh sorry i was looking at my scat man stuff i was totally distracted this is my bad nonsense lyrics right there right yes you know what's so funny though i know what's so funny but it is it's just i've said it so many times in my life i mean honestly i say wop-bop-a-loo-bop a lot bamboo more than most people i would guess i read it was his verbal

[78:02]rendition of drum patterns and i think rolling stone in april 2012 called that refrain the most inspired rock lyric ever recorded oh my god i guess so good it's it's crazy listening to little richard it's just crazy also his clips on youtube incredible like watching live just amazing i also read that prince and sly stone were also very heavily influenced by james brown jimmy hendrix and little richard in their style yeah oh yeah i can see that for sure all right next song on the list uh this is shirley

[78:34]ellis the song is called the name game the name game you know there's some kids you know there's some kids conceived of this song it's popular enough where it was playing while kids were conceived and then like and then there's like kids were named chuck right and they're like oh

[79:01]let's do chuck next you know i actually read erin that you're right on she used to amaze the audience by taking requests for the name game in concert but whenever someone asked for chuck she had the good sense to ignore those people i just think somebody heard tony tony bo bony and they're like she's got a good idea we should do that and then and then i mean it would be tough though if you if your kid was being bored you're like what name are we gonna pick i mean there's just you have to go through the name shirley shirley boberley fanna fanna foferley okay russ let's do your name right now russell do your

[79:37]name without even thinking about it do the name game on your name russ russ bo bus fannana fanna he is not going to cuss russ erin erin boberin banana fanna foferrin me my mo erin erin yes isn't it me my mo erin don't you yeah i missed it i missed it god you suck what are we doing i'm looking up lyrics i what are we doing let's hear the name it's that q-tip documentary we're talking

[80:03]about that q-tip uh matt matt foe is so fat banana vanna bolat the mimo he hates cats this is amazing rob rob rob bob banana fanna fove me my mo mob rob listen this is amazing that that song is a hit you had that you had that that was too good we did it it was not good like i

[80:30]will not listen to any of this again but she has a hit song that has that it's crazy she also do you guys remember we've talked about this artist once before shirley ellis you remember when we talked about her we talked about the name game our person but she had a different song that was even a bigger hit it was the hand clapping song we did the best song ever with hand claps and she had the hand clap big song what's the hand clapping song she was a novelty you have to pull that one up a novelty hit person hand clap look at those look at that big you like that all that i know all caps

[81:03]i can't believe he all caps this song is called clap pat clap slap yes remember this one yes i do your monkey got choked she's got some jams that's a good song they must have been like listen you're gonna do what and she's like it's a name game you say a name they say banana fan

[81:32]and part way through the song i'm gonna explain how you do the game in the song and they're gonna be like listen we didn't think your clap song was gonna be big and we were fucking wrong about that so we will let you do whatever you want like yeah i bet she had some real bad ideas though later don't you think she's like let's do our favorite kind of potatoes a song about potatoes then she's like mashed baked scale you're gonna do your favorite kind of potatoes a song about potatoes then she's like mashed baked scale see it's not good that's my point it's not good you guys just showed me how bad it is shirley ellis shame on you next song on the list we've talked about our favorite bass man before that was the

[82:00]guy from uh the boys to men who i may be dead we don't really know or has some sort of problem but this song next song on the list is by johnny symbol the song is called mr bass man check this one out yes yes and i'm you know what would you say that this was this is kind of a kent herbeck to me

[82:36]i mean this is the first bass man i've ever heard um matt would you say that that band reminds you of a band you when i think of bass man you know who i think of who do you think of crash test dummies there's only man if the crash test dummies did a name game what do you think that would sound like

[83:00]ross she is a bus who wouldn't go and cuss with the puss out of his bus i'm starting to realize i don't think i don't think they finally made him this podcast turned into robbie and way too high erin couldn't quite explain it he always just showed up on friday

[83:37]next song on the list we were talking about chumbawamba i believe this band beat chumbawamba for the number one hit in 1997 it's mmm bop by hansen oh man this thing was everywhere listen to those nonsense syllables listen to those harmonies though these kids sound good man

[84:00]it's a this i gotta say guys looking back actually a bop yeah it's a bop right if you think number one in 12 countries if you're at a wedding and this came on you'd hit the dance floor vh1 called it one of the the 20th greatest song of the 90s what are your guys thoughts on that is that one of the 20 best songs of the 90s that's a what well it's like call me maybe always makes all these lists i mean it's like the same thing like give me a break

[84:31]the 20th best song of the 90s i don't know this 20th best song okay well i can think of a couple songs that are i would say pretty good and let's see both of them use nonsense syllables too it must be a trend i think so and i can think of another 90s song that i really enjoyed i can think of another 90s song that i really enjoyed i can think of another 90s song that i really enjoyed i can think of another 90s song that i really enjoyed i can think of another 90s song that i really enjoyed but i would say number three i would say that would say number three i think it's really good i have to say so i believe sly stone has a brother and sister in the band is that right

[85:06]that is correct so the brothers the hansons were all brothers and they must have been inspired by sly and the family stone check out the cover they did i think this is higher check out this cover they did of sly and the sly stone everybody's covering them everybody's covering them everybody's covering them russell we should combine forces what the hell instrument is that i don't know but that's like a cheap keyboard that's adult hansons cover and slide the family stones they must have been given some props to an amazing band i mean i

[85:34]like the i like the bass line sounds like thriller or something there's russell in the crowd oh play umbop i want to hear umbop it's the 20th best song of the 90s turn this shit off this is not very good right i didn't say it was better i just i'm just saying like that's kind of the first time i've heard a cover like all right maybe leave it russell's hiding a record he bought back in his shells what did russell show us that oh my god it's

[86:00]the hansen record with that song on it he's embarrassed he liked it he bought it now he's embarrassed he said it was no good last song on the list featuring nonsense syllables this is lady gaga bad romance russell i was wishing she said yeah yeah in this one like i imagine she said yeah yeah of course russell back in 2011 sly stone actually said he wanted to work with lady gaga he said all these

[86:30]guys are playing all these amazing songs from the past lady gaga let me come in and play and pay me if you like it he's famous for threatening to come back and then never actually do like never actually working like he's been like been that way for decades right like oh sly is working with somebody on something that never happens like sly and d'angelo are gonna do a record no never gonna happen oh oh oh geez it'd be amazing wouldn't it like wouldn't it be incredible but russell i gotta tell you right now great list that was nonsense russell because it was a top

[87:01]five nonsense list i've ever heard now i was i have to admit russell okay it pains me to admit this but i was distracted during your list because i had pulled up a lyrics sheet yeah for a song called uh scatman which is a song by scatman john and i was reading through and it just reminded me of when uh they checked in and it turns out he'd also sent out some uh what do you call it morse code messages right yeah and this came out from scatman john he said check out my message to you as a matter of fact don't let nothing hold you back if the scatman can do it

[87:36]brother so can you and then google has taken the time to write out ba ba da ba i might put this into a text translator and do it for our next uh i like that rob imagines google as a human who's writing things like google's google sat down at the scroll and took their papyrus and wrote this out hold on wait reverse five seconds what did they say there oh go back

[88:03]eight i missed it employee i love how like employee number four google was a typist that only used their left finger on the shift and they haven't found a way to lay that person off that person is rich you know what they've got i could write this down i bet i almost know this whole song i hear you all ask about the meaning of scat and the professor and all i can tell you is when you're sleeping the saints are weeping because of the things you call dead haven't yet had the chance to be born i'm the scat man it's kind of poetry

[88:30]and it makes you it's not too weird yet guys this is not too weird this is fine russell's so mad okay okay here we go oh he really is mad sex machine i was i was googling chumbawumba lyrics so here's the here's the deal that song everyday people is so good so good how would you follow that up on the album

[89:01]well how about a terrible song extended jam that is kind of meandering oh my god i gotta say i was really disappointed in this for some reason i got it in my head it was going to be that song love machine i'm just a love machine oh yeah and i won't work for nobody but you and then it wasn't that song and it bummed me out this just seems like a this is like a take a break and go have sex song i guess like it's like oh you don't have to listen and you can like go do some sex and then

[89:31]come back for the end of the album is that what you tried to do when you listen to it this week it hasn't worked out yet yeah not there yet but it's looking good idea right i think this is a good sign to go and have sex too too oh tony now that makes you know what that makes me think of my mama moni tony tony tony i tried to get this nickel under the coffee table i'm stuck tony can you come i love these moments when we're almost to the last song of the album and rob just can't

[90:03]can't bear to play he doesn't want it to be over you can make it if you try another groove this is fun right this is fun this is total fun one now it might surprise you guess you know how popular their song was not popular somebody covered it the theme somebody covered it oh wait a minute no

[90:32]this is from 1958 the song we just listened to is from 1969 this was a cover it's a reverse for the end it covered this song from 1958 wow this is fantastic it's a reverse cover situation oh my god now sly of course has full writing credit on the song as he does all the songs who is this rob gene allison and i and i and going through it i just

[91:07]want to tell you there is a cover of it so i lied this is a this is a double cover situation this is a double blind double cover i'm coming at you i said there wasn't a cover i said it was a reverse cover i would double down now there is a cover this is high low this is gambling you got a list of this cover by buddy guy 1980 you can make it if you try late day buddy guy so so so good so guys you know what let's get into our most popular segment

[91:40]everyone's waiting it's time for just like this album we're going to take something really good and then add something not very good here at the end because rob thinks it's funny and i really do you guys know the chumbawamba lyrics they actually capitalize the words whiskey vodka lager and cider as if it's like a proper trademark what is up with that it's it's

[92:01]british it's why they're called chumbawamba listen this album is at one uh i've just put 69 oh that was the year but this album was at 119 i was like this is album 69 jesus christ i'm stuck in a terrible time loop uh this is album 119 okay and again this podcast is not about the music we couldn't care less about the album we're not talking about the album we're talking about the list okay this is a podcast about the list we love this list we want to talk about the list is this album stand by sly and the family stone okay it's got some nonsense words it's got some

[92:33]great songs it's got some mediocre songs does this deserve to be at number 119 okay if you think it does if it's perfect if they did a great job with the list okay it is a rolling well-toned we think this is great if we think this should have been higher on the list okay that would be a rolling uh groan because we do not like it it should be higher i want to don't you nobody's looking at the screen anymore everybody's doing different things as i say this they're all kind

[93:02]of reading other stuff or whatever i'm not going to look i'm with you i'm all locked in should we have heard this earlier okay maybe 118 maybe 117 maybe 116 not 115 i don't think it belongs there but 114 hmm now you got me thinking again 114 banana fan fo 14 could it be 113 that would be a rolling bone it should have been up higher on the list is it a rolling well-toned rolling bone and rolling groan you know our episodes lately have been so long it's crazy uh aaron what do you think rolling well-toned rolling bone or rolling groan the highs on this album are so high these grooves

[93:36]are just so good um i'm trying to remember back now to there's a riot going on um i feel like there's a riot going on as more consistent start to finish and as important as sly and the family stone are i just don't know if we need to hear them twice and if we need to hear them twice and the top 150 so i i'm going to i'm going to reluctantly have to give this a rolling groan all right if you don't remember uh there's a riot going on had the hit song spaced cowboy

[94:05]it did have family affair which i like running away which is okay it's i don't know it's not as it's a and it's all eight minute songs uh russell what do you think rolling well-toned rolling bone or rolling groan you know i think there's part of this album that's kind of like an uplifting album it makes you feel good to listen to a lot of the songs to me there's a bunch of commercial hits on there you guys know i like those i've heard of stand i want to take you higher i love the song everyday people so for me i'm going to say it's rolling well-toned i'd probably come back and

[94:33]listen to this again yeah it's a i think it's i think it's a superior album to there's a riot going on i get there's a riot going on might be better musically but it doesn't have this many bops on it matt what do you think rolling well-toned rolling bone or rolling groan um first i just i have to get this out there so i don't get kicked off the pod by all those oh my god is scatman still alive no no no you guys know and i fully admit that i do absolutely jack squat in preparation for this for this and russell and rob do a ton and russell does

[95:05]so much behind the scenes that we don't know about so him doing lists so i never ever ever want to criticize russell's lists oh you're good now but him missing yellow lead better by pearl is a nonsensical song i just i have to call it out now so so i don't get you know just because somebody will call it in so no but i do want now i do want to follow up on this is i've i've never known if it's nonsense or if i just can't understand the words it actually is nonsense yeah it's actual nonsense and it's so good

[95:34]so they just been playing a joke on people for this whole absolutely wow people have tried forever to say and he said i just sit on my you know you hear like porch and stuff i just sit on my porch just making the song so that's all i had to say i never want to criticize amazing nonsense syllables matt you're right wow so you because you do so much work for this so i'm not criticizing anything but yes that

[96:01]was the top five list that was a really good list actually it was kind of your own thing but i loved it i would put yellow lead better on my thanksgiving playlist thanks guys yeah um okay so now i've taken everybody's time russell i love your list and i appreciate him so i please i hope me saying that's not stepping in any honestly man it proved that you listened so i'm taking that as a win okay there you go i don't know what man's talking about actually i thought we i thought we did a list on the crash this dumpies i'm confused there was a number of great songs as you guys have said there's

[96:33]a number of just kind of i don't know what's going on songs and then so does this album as a whole need to be up here this high uh i'm with rosie i don't think it needs to be up this high there's some great songs everyday people great song covered by a million people love it that's that's a a top song not a top album so i'm gonna say slightly rolling groaned it should be a little bit lower on the list which means it has a higher number well unfortunately you guys are incorrect

[97:01]i hate to do it to you i can't believe it hey listen well don't worry we have another 381 to try to get this right so we're gonna nail it at some point this is a rolling now some people might say this is a rolling cover version because some people say there's a theme with some covers and maybe he didn't explore those things as much as he did but i think it's a really good song and it's got distracted by them but it doesn't matter okay but that's not the ranking that's not the ranking today this is again for the second time a rolling oscar nomination just like the last slide the family stone record it's the same thing this is i guarantee you we will see a movie in our

[97:33]lifetime about sly stone and it will win an oscar okay mark my words i said it last time i'm going to say it again we will see a movie about this guy it will win an oscar money in the bank i thought q-tip already did a documentary album but oh it did it with an oscar yes no i'm talking about sly story now like a modern day sly stone story we're going to watch it slice it's going to win the oscar and when you do all these beckline

[98:01]listeners who are like oh we don't like to be criticized or whatever i wasn't really listening they will call and say rob was right okay just like the typing thing and the shifting which i'm also going to say is people are totally right on so next week listen we don't have time for this next week oh god i wrote this down earlier too this is a dance move this game like right after the scatman stuff so please i'm so sorry it's a dance move i actually invented in college with my prince costume we're doing moon dance by morrison for that when you

[98:31]want to hear about the greatest albums the best van morrison album i went outside to do a moon dance and i got bitten by a stray cat it was a terrible night for it he doesn't know what he's talking about if you want to hear from guys who chat and then they get off track i've got the perfect podcast for you jack beck did it better you guys rob cut off that uh the name game song before we got to the last verse i thought i could share with you sing it if you will okay it goes

[99:01]chambo whambo boom shakalaka is that right it's time this is this is when this comes on every time um funnel cloud i mean i'm still thinking about that tornado trying to suck me off

[99:31]the white t-shirt joke was good enough like the white t-shirt we're not so good we're not in kansas i think you have a solid enough base where you wouldn't take you off the ground rob you just stay there i would be able to be there i'd be locked down i'd like dorothy in the uh movie twister where it's they make it heavier so it sets down all the uh scientific instruments fly into the sky okay we're not just remembering the white shirt from that movie which is what aaron knows exactly what a perfect pervert
