When you want to hear about the greatest albums of all time, but you're just too lazy to look it up online. 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. I got some other thoughts about You Won't See Me, though. I have some other thoughts, if you'd permit me some thoughts. All right, let's hear it. I'd like to make a list inspired by You Won't See Me. Oh, a list. Can we do that on this podcast? I got some thoughts. I feel like this is the moment where I have matched with a woman on one of these dating profiles, and she messaged me once, and now she stops messaging me, because now she's messaging Aaron instead, because he's stolen my bit.

[02:04]I'm sorry, Russell, but I wanted to make a list based on the song You Won't See Me. It's just like when I worked at a horse riding ranch. I stole somebody's bit. Or this was also like when every 16-year-old goes into Spencer Gifts and steals half the shit out of the store, because they're not paying for it. Hey, Aaron, why don't you steal my bit while you're at it? Go for it. It's time. Countdown. I love it. Spencer's was a number one shoplifting destination, though, for sure. Of all the girls I knew that shoplifted, Spencer's was number one. That was like their Amazon.com of the day. It was just too easy. So this song, to me, is about being dumped. Maybe I'm wrong. And so I thought this is a pretty good song about being dumped.

[03:01]And it makes my fab four, but it's only at number four. So I've got three songs about being dumped that I think are better than You Won't See Me. Then number three, Just Ahead of You Won't See Me. Wait, hold on, hold on. Three songs that are about being dumped that are better than this one. That's right. That's what I'm saying. Here we go. What's number three? There must be some big-name bands on these. These are better songs than the Beatles. Exactly. That's what I'm saying. You guys are going to recognize all of these. Number three is Cannibal Ox with the F word. Who is Cannibal Ox? They were on the Deftricks label, man, back in 04. Vast Air was singing about it. Back in 04. 2004? 2004. Oh. It's like, I care about you. Think about you all the time. This is definitely how I rebound from a breakup. It's about getting put in the friend zone. I can hear it. Here we go. You got to hear the first line. It sounds like they fell on their core. Hey, Aaron, as someone who's been put in the friend zone, I have never had this type of attitude. You said something about cardiovascular. Russ, you're a great guy.

[04:00]You're super smart and fun. I think you're going to get a lot of attention. I think you're going to get a lot of attention. You're going to get a lot of attention. I think you're going to get a lot of attention. I think you're going to get a lot of attention. You said something about cardiovascular. Russ, you're a great guy. You're super smart and funny, and you have an amazing podcast, but I really think we just have a friend connection. I've never had this attitude. Then you needed to rap about it. You got to try freestyling after something like that happens. The other great line in this song is he says, she was in a love triangle, but it wasn't like my feelings weren't there to make it a square. Number two. Number two. The second. The third. The fourth. What the fuck? What is that band? What is that song? The cannibal lot is the F word. You see? Triangle, and I wasn't there to make it a square. Yeah. A little behind the scenes. These guys send me a list of songs that they want me to put onto this thing, so we can actually be organized and not make any mistakes and do it. I had to go on Vimeo to find the song. It wasn't even on YouTube.

[05:00]I had to go to a Russian cam site to find this. It was so wild. It was wild. This one is going to be even better. Number two is Gimme Back My Dog by Slobberbone. Alright, let's give it a chance. Slobberbone has a song about Gimme Back My Dog. Look, this guy they got broke up with, he wants his damn dog back. It was mine before you knew me. He is out here taking back what's his. He's not saying you won't see him. I don't know what he can see, but we've got to look up and see what Slobberbone looks like. What in the hell does Slobberbone look like? Alright, you know what? It was mine before you knew me. Aaron's on to something. If you lose your dog in a breakup, you go out and you find that fucking dog. You've got to get your dog back, man. This is important. Slobberbone was not out here ready to let anybody,

[06:01]man or woman, I'm not going to judge, or say, take their damn dog. I feel like, I'm going to give you a hint. How many guys do you think are in the band? It's four. And are they four white guys? Yep. Do they look like they grew up in the suburbs? Possibly. Hey, I just made a call to the CEO of Spencer Gifts, and he's going to add Slobberdog as the third album on their list. Slobberbone is a band that literally was just made to sell t-shirts. I would buy a Slobberbone t-shirt right now. That's probably true. That's actually probably true. That's pretty good though. Aaron, we're picking on you, but the point of, the song is amazing. You're absolutely right. It's like, give me back that dog. Yeah. You're right. You're spot on. This is fantastic. Rosie, you're definitely the Ed Elderson of this podcast. You're the Ed Elderson of the Slobberbone on this podcast. You don't need to tell us who Ed Elderson is from. We all know. What would you say I am of this podcast? Hold on one sec.

[07:00]I'm not cutting any of those. You're definitely the Mike Hill, Rob. You're definitely the Mike Hill of this podcast. Because I love to, play the, but even better, even better than Slobberbone. I think I'm the Jess Barr. I play the banjo. I was going to say that too. Russell's the Tony Harper on the drums. But take it in one level further beyond demanding your dog back is like, if you get broken up with, you're going to figure out how to be okay. And I think that the, the namesake of this podcast said it best. This is back. Guess I'm doing fine. We're just going to keep it up in the way. Rosie flipped it on us. Guess I'm doing fine. It's a great song. I'm doing fine. I've never heard this one. This is great. So you know what? Beck did it better. This is like,

[08:00]no, no, but you need to say it like you mean it. Say it like you mean it. Say it like you mean it. Beck did it better. No, Eric, could you, could you, could you start over and put those purple sunglasses back on and then do it? Put the sunglasses on and then do it. Sunglasses on. Beck did it better. When you want to hear about the greatest albums of all time, but you're just too lazy to look it up online. If you want to hear from guys who chat and then they get off track. I've got the perfect podcast for you, Jack.
