Led Zeppelin: Led Zeppelin (1969)

[00:00]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 up to album 101 and from 1969 this is the eponymous lead zeppelin listen guys we're into the hundreds okay we did it we are we are moving on we are just if if we were a person we'd be getting on the news for being old do they still do that where they're like hey this person's old as shit let's put them on the news and you look at the person you're like damn they look better than i do they probably didn't spend their nights doing a podcast yeah exactly yeah what's your secret to living long i did a podcast with my three friends they died 20 years ago i'm still going i'm only on album 150 all right listen we don't have time for this let's get into i never did anything fun

[01:02]on friday nights i spent every friday night inside at my house by myself i'm not really by myself i've seen my friends on a screen oh do you want to see me in real life no not at all actually we're thank you we're very close to each other we avoid each other at all costs listen let's get into what i have labeled here as opening bit okay it's still that okay here we go k-rob k-r-o-b listen russell will come over but make sure there aren't any kids around oh yeah well russell said you should come over just as soon as you can then he said okay but then there was a change of plans you sound good thank you feel good lunch time dinner time russell doesn't care

[02:13]you have any kids in your home russell won't be there well i called russell the other day and i said come see me he was there a minute or two when he saw my progeny he said that he would come back that he would be my friend he said he'd be back after my kid's graduation lunch time dinner time russell doesn't care you have any kids in your home russell won't be there when you want to hear about the greatest albums of all time but you're just too late to forget about mine

[03:04]you make it sound like i'm some sort of boss no one wants to go hang out with other people's kids i've got the perfect podcast for you jack i suppose if i made a song about how much russell wants to hang out with your kids that would be even worse listen this is beck did it better we are talking about led zeppelin led zeppelin and here i've got three guys that are going to hang out with their kids and here i've got three guys that are going to hang out with their kids and here i've got three guys that are going to hang out with their kids and here i've got three guys that are going to hang out with their kids and here i've got three guys that are going to hang out with their kids and here i've got three guys who were sure this podcast was going to go over like a led zeppelin but instead it's more like the hindenburg lately we're on fire yeah i've got russell in minnesota russell how are you doing guys i have to tell you i fell in love with a girl sweet as could be but it only took a couple of dates and she was rid of me she promised she'd never send food back and would love me till the end but when i showed her that reverse hootie position i lost another friend oh no i love you i had totally forgotten about the sending food back conversation that we had it's so good such a good bit i've got matt i've got matt

[04:01]oh i think about the reverse hootie every day uh for about three for about three and a half minutes um matt in north dakota matt how are you doing uh good rob thanks for having me as uh you so keenly said a couple episodes ago the only people dumber than us for actually doing this weekly every friday night are the people who are listening so right thanks for listening everybody happy you're here glad to be here let's rock and roll literally my sock response when people say i listen to the podcast is oh no like that's what i say and i'm serious i mean it you should not be listening somebody somebody told me somebody told me this week they were they were mowing the lawn they're mowing the lawn and they just they they heard you say that they said oh my god we're a bunch of dumb shits for doing this the only people dumber than us for doing this podcast weekly are the people that are listening to this he said he was like mid lawn he just had to stop and shake his head yeah rob's right here i am yeah as emerson says rob's right rob's right rob's right uh listen listen the pigs come for the slop

[05:01]that's the way it is out in uh north dakota or out in california i've got aaron and aaron was telling us before the podcast what a big joe biden fanny is because they both ride the bike the same way they both ride the bike the same way great way to stay there rob makes perfect sense i got aaron how are you doing aaron i thought aaron was gonna start reading too much off of it tell me about it i'm a teleprompter today repeat the line i've been dazed and confused for so long i don't even know where i'm at let's talk about led zeppelin nice all right let's get right into today's voicemails but all our listeners right this is also going to go into my rolling going okay so don't step on it please all right i would never hey i'm karen and i saw a few questionable things done by someone i thought would be perfect to discuss in the podcast so this guy a couple of cabins down from mine is roughly 25 relatively funny and he's built like a greek god

[06:04]seriously he must be a power lifter or something he shows up to our fourth of july parade in a red white speaking of reading a script so my first question you guys is what are your thoughts on speedos second thing about this guy he starts wearing this tie-dye dress thing over his speedo and walking around other people's yards to pick up their dog's crap so my second question is what recommendations do you have for home security just wanted to say i don't know this person at all so i'm a little scared to go talk to them about it but it is pretty concerning so just wanted to get your thoughts anyways thanks all right now i will say if you're a caller you're actually smart okay you're not dumb you're actually one of the smart ones so please let's keep those calls coming in or maybe start the calls coming in over the last couple weeks kind of over the point are you related to this person? is that the reason that you're finally you're switching tunes here calling them smart for calling in? no they are not let me see what i wrote down in my script just like that caller no they are not related to me

[07:01]they are they are what? read again repeat quote but yeah here's the thing is that i do need to tell you that that caller is pointing out something that i have started this summer guys this is my summers of three s's and you know what let's just get right into the rolling going right away off the bat because i i feel like we should just do it why not let's let's not mess around oh my god i forgot we gotta listen to this time let's see what everybody's up to it's time for rolling going so the callers over the fourth it kind of dried up maybe people think that we don't uh do this over the fourth of july holiday uh-uh we are still going we are stuck in our sisyphean ordeal as we have talked about before i have doing the summer of the three s's okay this is the summer of the three s's the three s's are sandwiches speedos and charcuterie boards okay it's not one board but multiple boards multiple boards i i'm trying to do as many charcuterie boards as i can

[08:01]but i have decided i have switched totally to speedos i am going only speedos for the summer that is it uh i i am switching now i am a big guy but i am going totally speedos which has caused me to buy a caftan cover-up as well okay my father refers to it as a muumuu that is tie-dyed so i will also be walking around in that and i am telling you guys take my hand get a ticket do you want to come on board the speedo train with me and actually i don't like it when i say it like that unless you want to the interesting thing is i can see people being like a kind of a show person you want someone's attention if you are out at maybe rob's on a cruise and he's out at the pool and he's going to wear his speedo because he wants all the attention of the other people but if you're in a family cabin and you want the attention of like your your family members to see you in the speedo i think they're you may need to look in the mirror on that one and the attention is good attention right when i'm taking my five-year-old nephew tubing and i'm wearing a speedo driving the boat

[09:00]okay he understands the what i'm saying about body image and being comfortable with yourself uh and also how to make your mom mad at you very very mad at you and disappointed and shaking her head every time she sees you so what do you guys think would there be a chance you would just go speedos for a bit uh me no but i just i have to say i have to say i have to say there is a very famous picture we're up at sarah's family's cabin now um there's a very famous picture from about 25 years ago of uncle rick uncle rick is in a speedo and he looks good he's tan as can be bummer you know he's laying out he's right next to about 13 or 14 of all the cousins right rick does not look like that anymore but rick is still speedo rick and for the rest of your life rob you'll be known as speedo rob perfect and they will continually talk about that and there's somebody's gonna have pictures and i hope somebody sends it to at least one of the three of us so that we can keep it and bring it out maybe on like the 500th episode in like 10 or 15 years from now

[10:01]whenever we get done with this thing but you will forever be known as speedo rob in your family and people will keep those pictures really close to the vest for the rest of time so i'm telling you it feels good it feels like i'm not wearing anything at all have you ever driven a boat naked this is as close as you get you have no issues no problems with chaffage and then what about the sunscreen application like you're fine just thighs rubbing together it's no problem extra i put on extra down there for a long time in my room by myself this is also coming from the guy if i need to remind us that also does like an annual skinny dipping thing with his family too night swimming we call it night swimming yeah we call it night swimming they do it at breakfast but it's called night swimming all right everybody get ready for your 9 a.m night swim rob one question i had rob is like so when you make a speedo move the first time you do it is a big step that's a big jump where you got to probably stand in the mirror for a little bit you got to look at every angle you got to think when i make a move like this i can't just take it back immediately it's out there

[11:00]so how did you feel about the first time you made the speedo move i'll tell you what i showed up kids wanted to go on the lake went upstairs and i do have a couple of box cut like speedos with just a little tiny leg i have two of those skin tight and i said no we're going full on speedo so i purchased a speedo in new york i went to a store tried them on purchased a speedo hang on you didn't know try it on let's get into my rolling going because i want to talk to you about this store where i tried on a speedo is this the same store where you ate charcuterie boards at i bet you could actually the only thing i was going to say is that i have started i've gone from seven inch to five inch shorts this summer once i could finally find ones that had uh side pockets there's a lot of five inch shorts don't have side pockets as soon as i found some that have side pockets dick sporting goods got a great brand there that's the nickname of me and my speedo actually except it's dick sporting bad

[12:01]they don't so i was gonna say the only thing i could think of like it it is it is nice to have some thigh hanging out there right especially when you're just out doing other and so i was gonna say maybe if we had something that at least covered the butt cheeks that'd be good and you kind of you were going there but you've just gone full on you've just gone full on butt cheeks hanging out just speedo so i don't know i couldn't go that far but maybe maybe for enough beers box cut i should say the box cut by the way is great if you want intermediate step the box cut it looks good it feels good love it i listened to a podcast where these two big guys were talking about wearing speedos and how much they love it and one of the guys lived in new york city and so i said okay this is the summer of the speedos i'm gonna make it happen and so i tweeted him and i said listen i want to go buy a speedo in person where should i go and he said you need to go to the gay stores in chelsea and i was like what what is that so i literally typed in the gay stores chelsea and it turns out there is a whole shopping like clothing store just for gay men

[13:01]that's it that's that's that's what it's for well yeah so i was fired up because i know that this is going to be great i have never gone to a place that's mostly for gay men and not had a great time you know what you want to go to a place where the where there's only male bathrooms and the bartenders don't have a shirt on yes that's for you this is this is great do you want to go to a bar where people constantly tell you how good you look yes this is for you i went to uh i think it was called chelsea oh chelsea unlimited or something like that i'll put it in the show notes maybe or maybe i won't but it was this tiny little store and i went in and it's me and the and the two guys running it and then there's a couple there and there's uh and i said i'm looking for a speedo and the guy goes great he goes what size i was like bro come on it's for me i said like i don't know like big to really big big big in the hips small in the front he's like really big in the balls and then just like like oh like a wide thumb when you get toward the front and yeah he's like

[14:00]no sir you put those on backwards it's all saggy in the back and i'm like no that was me actually too many charcuterie boards uh listen we'll take you over to the extra girthy section and we should take care of it can you imagine if you had to go shop there it's like that comedian who said there should be a big dick tax because like who wouldn't want to pay it everybody'd be like hell yeah that's true put it on my front door i'll pay it um hey i would be paying my fair share for sure and i would be collecting from the government i'd be like yes i'd be showing up he'd be like check this out refund is big so here's the deal is is that i went in and i said i need a speedo my size and they came out and i they had eight different speedos that were my size and when i say speedos that's the brand name you know like kleenex or q-tip what i'm really saying is brief swimsuit now a lot of them were what we would call bikini cut high and i would say they had a pouch effect okay in that my dick and balls were in a pouch okay a banana hammock don't they call that a banana hammock in the business

[15:00]it was definitely like uh i would call it i would call it a plantain hammock you're in like in front of a mirror trying them on uh no there is no mirror no okay so i so i went in i went in and so i was like yeah he goes oh here try these on and i was like oh god we're really gonna do this like so i'm in there you take your like you put your actual nuts in the thing and then you take them off and they put them back in the pile first i put them no guys first i put it on my head and i run out and say what is going on i can't see anything yeah of course that's what i do i keep i do keep my boxers on so i'm trying them and i realize i should be here as a couple i'm making a huge mistake by myself this is a disaster because the couple next to me they're trying on jock straps and this store has dozens of different jock straps that they can try on now i was curious about this and i looked it up later jock straps in the gay community it's a huge fashion accessory right because and like a lot of gay clubs apparently in new york would have like jock strap night and they would have times where you just show up

[16:00]in your jock strap and i looked up why and they're like why not big bulge in the front lifts up your butt in the back i was like feels good i was like yeah maybe i should go jock strap don't think i'm gonna go jock strap don't think i can pull that off it seems like cultural appropriation so what type so what what type did you pick out so uh russell you're getting way ahead of yourself here so i'm in there i'm in the changing room and i'm putting on these different speedos right and i'm feeling bad because some of them you know how the fabric when you pull just a little too much you can feel that little rip like it's not ripping the speedo but it's ripping some vital part of the elastic of the fabric i'm doing that but they're all too pouchy they're too pouchy they're too pouchy the problem is the guy next to me is trying on jock straps he doesn't like any of the jock straps and he's coming out and showing his partner and everybody works there with a jock strap and i'm like i'm stuck in here i'm not showing anybody but the thing is the dressing room was a curtain between so he's trying on jock straps bending over i'm trying on speedos bending over and every once in a while we had what we call a moon landing where our two butts would touch through the curtains and we'd have to apologize

[17:00]to each other we'd say oh i'm sorry i'd say oh i was oh oh yeah sorry oh but you could tell it was somebody's butt touching your butt as you were trying on the speedo was it clear he was only wearing a jock strap like could you tell it was like just almost skin on skin or not these are peeled grapes are a witch's eyes you know you can feel through it you're like you're not wearing you're wearing a jock strap under there no i couldn't tell what he was wearing but i assumed he was because he hated all the jock straps which by the way i didn't even know you could go in and try on jock straps that seems like something you shouldn't be able to try on are jock straps still made of that awful like remember they they had that weird like hard it was like ribbed cotton but it felt like it was made of barbed wire like are they still made of that material i don't think so you should see there's he was trying on jock straps that had shoulder straps in overalls they went over your shoulders yes like hips are exposed right like there's nothing but it's like borat right like borat had that

[18:00]yeah it's like one of l mcpherson's old sports illustrated covers or like a dustin rhodes yeah wrestling outfit guys we should have a jock strap episode where we all get fun jock straps and wear them during the episode and just see how we feel rob you get yours get yours send us a picture and then we'll all go get ours yeah yeah go for it could this be the summer of four s's jock straps hmm seems like it could be five s's there's two s's in jock straps so then i end up buying a pair that fits great and it's actually kind of more of a brief cut where it's a a longer waist and kind of a more like old man speedo but on the back guess what's on the back it's kind of brownish and yellow i'll show i'll send you guys a picture but on the back yellow does it have a tramp stamp brown i was convinced this was going to be like an american flag like a fourth of july a novelty one no and if it were a novelty one i wasn't going to give you credit for it now i will say i already own this american flag novelty one as we as we all know because we bring that beach towel everywhere we go that one is pouchy and the real problem is though in the back it covers up about i would say

[19:00]80 of my butt which is not enough which turns out not enough when i'm hanging out at the family cabin 20 of your butt is actually quite a bit and it's the top that doesn't get covered so it's bad um but i ended up getting one and on the back of these speedos and on the front actually there's a giant bear paw like a print and so i sent it to my friend suzanne and she said oh you know what that bear paw is for and i realized that the speedo is indicating that i myself you're a bear am a bear which makes sense they're selling like 2x speedos for bears big hairy gay guys i was like this is great so i'm recommending everyone out there have an s summer get a speedo try it out i understand if you don't want to do it in front of your family but i'm telling you guys when i'm swimming around i feel like a seal i know how a seal feels now i'm swimming i'm swooping i'm going no more shorts i feel great my kids uh my kids haven't been outside very much they mostly stay inside on the ipad watching anime but i don't think that's related i'm on board with the charcuterie board kids love charcuterie boards but do you make this do you put the do you put the board together

[20:00]what yeah kids love to like put their own stuff you put on a board of stuff give them choice they like to make little sandwiches with their crackers it's great for kids my kids love having a baguette in the morning it's their favorite thing baguette we put out different jams spicy jams they just get a kick out of the choice so do you prepare the charcuterie board in your speedo or do you put on you put that's when you put on the caftan that's when i put on the the caftan as well yeah and i have found a site where there's matching caftans and speedos so if we all want to do maybe like a thing oh and i also have a site where we can make custom speedos so guess what we're getting for the holidays i'll give you it send me your send me your girth size please russell measure it up send it to me because you are getting a custom-made beckton a better speedo i would rather pay five thousand dollars to order like hundreds of speedos to try them on in my the safety of my own home and then just throw away all the other ones that ever go try out a speedo in in public i would be horrified so i didn't show the guy the speedo i just knew it fit put it on didn't want to come out thought it was kind of i don't know i don't know what i thought but

[21:00]i had my boxers on so it looked you didn't want to be a you didn't want to be a tease right rob you didn't want to be like look at all this but actually i'm sorry i'm not gay i'll tell you what what if the couple was both in there like i pity the fool and then they'd be teased they'd be mr. tease to mr. tease together i thought that wasn't going to kick in for 45 minutes so here's the thing we're at 23 here's the thing no no no here's the thing i walk out with my with my speedo i'm like i'm ready to purchase this the guy says do you want to buy a tank top and i was like damn you know i want to buy a tank so he hands me a tank top it's 40 bucks the shirt doesn't even have sleeves i'm paying 40 bucks i have never paid 40 bucks for a shirt in my life but you gotta pay it at that point right like you can't be you can't get stagey at that point you gotta do it right so i go and i try on the tank top and i gotta say it looks pretty good like it's a good-looking tank top i come out and the guy goes oh my god your shoulders look so big i was like am i buying this tank top this is the greatest shop i might only shop there from now on he's like your shoulders look so

[22:00]good i was like yes this is what i'm talking about this is i don't get this respect at other stores so highly recommend search gay shop or something and go shopping there it is a blast it is super fun so uh rolling going rosie i'm going to go with you oh it's going great i also went shopping today um but it was at the bakery so different kind of shopping although i will just tell you all his buns yeah hey i just have to tag on briefly to rob's rolling going which is that um as we may have mentioned on this podcast we all received expected a better beach towels with a beautiful photo of rob in his uh all american speedo for christmas two years ago and this speedo this this beach towel is now a very good thing and very important part of our life to the point where uh if we're going to the beach or anywhere where there's water my son will say well we have to bring uncle rob along and he's also we are we're hopefully moving in a week and it's one of the things he's identified he's like he's concerned about moving he doesn't want to lose it huh

[23:00]yeah but he's like when we move we have to bring uncle rob so like it's part of the lore in our family now now is it true though that you don't let him sit on the towel at the beach you're like always no you can't actually sit on the towel i don't feel comfortable doing that no you gotta because you gotta like let it be you gotta let it you can't because when you look over and your kid is sitting on me in a speedo you're like i this i don't like this at all like that yeah and the tide is so far out i can't even see the ocean it's it's low tide so what am i go uh but today is friday uh and so it's it's one of our last uh maybe three fridays driving up to berkeley to pick my son up from preschool and so on fridays he gets to choose takeout options um so we do the the he's been on the pizza kick so we did pizza um and then his other big thing is on fridays he likes to go to the bakery so our friday tradition is to stop at the bakery he picks out a cookie um i usually grab a couple of pasties for lunch on saturday and i also i went in there and there was a song playing in the bakery and it was is this it by the strokes and that

[24:01]one immediately like i hear that song it takes me immediately to a place in time in minneapolis 99 2000 and the strokes were all the rage that's all anybody was talking about they played this beautiful song famous show at the entry that i didn't get to go to i remember buying the cd driving around in my truck that song took me back to a place in time immediately so i'm wondering like what's it what's a song for you guys that like when you hear it it like it transports you right away like this one for me i walked into this bakery and of course i was like oh man the strokes like so great i've so stoked on this and the guy was like oh yeah i was like i remember when this came out and the guy was like oh yeah back in 2000 this kid couldn't be more than like 18 and i was like thanks thanks dude and i was like dude who wasn't even alive in the sport appreciate you but that for me that was a highlight for me today was was walking in the bakery and the strokes is this it was playing and i was immediately transported to another place the guy's talking to his friend he's like listen i got this this guy came in today he's carrying a full pizza he walks into the bakery orders three

[25:00]cookies two pasties comments on the song and they leave it's the perfect middle age man scenario that's it growing up played baseball and there's always these these guys who are older right and they're there's some really good baseball players and they'd always like bring along these younger guys to come like shag when they were taking batting practice right so you you sit on the outfield you collect all the balls when we're hitting them out there we'll let you hit a little bit of us afterwards right well these guys were maybe six seven five six seven years older than us right and so they'd come pick us up me and my brother and a couple of other one of us and all of a sudden one time these guys had uh today by smashing oh so this guy turns on today and he's like today I was smashing pumpkins and we're rolling around in some crappy ass car and I think I'm the coolest kid in the world you know like that kid in uh days to confuse yes you know that movie of all that he gets picked up and all of a sudden you're the coolest kid in the world and this song comes on I'm like what the hell is this song because all I've ever heard

[26:00]you know before this is like Garth Brooks and uh you know Huey Lewis in the news or something like that and so what a combination wow right stuck in that song takes me right back right back to you know all of a sudden you're hanging out with all the cool older kids so that that's the one that instantly comes to my mind I love that one you had probably also heard Hootie when he was just doing regular regular regular position before he reversed it right yeah but he's a blowfish before he did that's so great too because you were really like you heard those a lot that line and you were really thinking like this is the greatest day I've ever known like you got in there and you heard that and it really was your greatest day that's amazing yeah yep good stuff for me it's uh mother by Danzig when I was in college I tried to do a big power clean to that song and I totally biffed it I totally failed it totally and since then I tried oh yeah since then I tried maxing out to that song a number of times mother and

[27:00]I'm like yeah mother makes me so mad which probably I need to look into I probably should talk to you about that so yeah so your mom's still keeping you down right no no things are great go back to the go back to the greatest hits episode where I asked her did you ever think I'd get married and she's like what the fuck what's your problem so things are fine don't worry about me um but ever since then anytime that song comes on I and I've tried to put it on for other max out and I failed everyone so that song is like every time I hear it I'm like I think about my failures as a power lifter as a lifter in general and it's bizarre because I love that song I think it rocks but it has a very definitely rocks negative connotation to me it's a song I don't hear it very often anymore because I don't listen to hard rock radio or whatever it is and whatever it would be on anymore but remember the song machine head by bush yeah yes from was it was it 16 stone that was the album I remember that I remember I used to when I turned 16 and finally was driving and everything I remember I would always listen to bush and I would always crank up machine head and

[28:00]just think I was I was I was like I'm the man I'm cranking machine head I'm driving around in my car you guys will like this I the first car I ever had it was a thunderbird and it had it had a car phone I had a white one or did you have one before that I think I had one before that I had a black one that I totaled that had that had a car phone in it you had multiple thunderbirds yeah they were like used cars but it had it was an awesome car and it had like a legit not like where it's in the console right yes like they pick up the phone and there's a cord yes oh my god who would Russell be calling who would Russell be calling in high school then get in an accident as he calls did you hear that Green Day is actually from our school that's why it's called oh god so I got two more only because our listeners will a few of our listeners will will know this one so we talked about a couple episodes ago Travis Tritt it's a great day to be alive every time that one comes on

[29:00]I think Joe from Woodbury is blasting it in the baseball locker and then the other one from college every time the Green Day song hope you had the time of your life comes on I am in instantly turn it off because all those clowns at the hockey house at the end of the night whenever the keg was cashed they all all the hockey guys would sing that one together and I was just like good God what a depressing way to end and I hope that you guys should remember this at least a couple of you I think the first bachelor party I ever went to we did we did a bus a party bus it might have been the white tiger I don't have a total recollection of that believe it or not and I don't remember what happened with Rob on the white tiger I don't know bachelor parties with Rob they all kind of meld together but we were definitely on the white tiger party bus and at the very end of the night when we were trying to convince the party bus to take us to the deja vu strip club you know it had been closed for like three hours the last

[30:01]song that was playing on the speakers was that Green Day song so that I always go back to the white tiger at you've got a good memory of it that's a great memory yeah can you imagine can you imagine the bus driver we're like take us to the strip club and he's like guys I can tell you right now it's been closed for three hours we're like maybe not maybe it's not he's like guys why don't I drop you off at somebody's house and then their parents are going to actually not let you sleep inside and you're all going to sleep under a coat or something and then I'll go home and speed away as fast as I can from you guys I might need to clarify we tried to go to the one at Invergrove that might be the king of diamonds I think it was the KOD yeah it was the KOD we were convinced it was still open and the bus driver was just didn't agree but he let us try yeah anybody who's ever hung around a bunch of drunk people when they're sober knows exactly how that conversation with that guy that guy dropped us off at the first address that somebody gave him yeah and then luckily yeah luckily

[31:00]there's some lawn to sleep on it's weird that the party bus guy didn't want to hang out with us can you imagine that job you're just the party bus driver like you'd be like maybe you'd start to be like this is gonna rock I'm gonna see so many parties and never the first night you'd be like why is it always the fattest guy who takes his clothes off and runs around the bus it doesn't make any sense Rob I'm starting to realize maybe where this nudity and the speedo came in because there was some nudity from you at that bachelor party if I remember right we had a keg and we were out on the deck on the deck of the house right yeah and some people were doing keg stands they were doing beer bongs that type of thing and Rob was like I'm doing a keg stand but as we found out last week you don't drink beer do you Rob can't stand it it actually makes me sick so Rob does a keg stand we get a few of them holding him up and he pukes over the side of the deck immediately and Rob turns around he's like I'm not going out like that I'm doing it again and he marches back over like he's getting under like a 700 pound squat and like gets pumped up goes up again down pukes a second time yeah then he's like marches back he

[32:00]literally goes up for a third keg stand and pukes a third time and at that point just gives up and we had to hose him down in the backyard so yeah I remember that that's a story I tell my kids to inspire them to never give up okay and also the guys I think the guys holding me up for the keg stand were like we literally can't hold you up anymore so there's a huge problem I like how we always say we're not big strip club guys and we're like was that king of diamonds no that was the time we went to Augie's what was I guess we only like the small cheap strip clubs somebody's still missing a sweatshirt but Augie's it is amazing though isn't it how much music just sticks with you like listening to stuff and like it you just have these moments of your life where you're like yeah this is the song and to think that somebody's moment of their life now is going to be like like you guys you'll never you will never ever for the rest of your life hear this and not think of this right I mean you're right you've done it and with avatar 2 coming out soon you know this

[33:00]song is going to become a hit again okay we're ahead of the curve by the way we should all dress up like avatars and kiss each other uh man we're Matt rolling going how's it going with you uh good up at the cabin uh up in North Dakota it's just a different world up here um I think my kids I think I feel like we haven't sheltered them in Minneapolis but compared to North Dakota life we've absolutely they live a completely sheltered life um the amount of I've talked we've talked about the drinking up here which is you know it's fun kind of sad but fun kind of sad you know it's all the same time one of those kind of things right we're on a line right but the more people drink the more effenheimers and you know shit and fuck and bitch and tits and and everything comes out and so so it's all I mean we're even we're having like family dinner that's just Matt's wife like family dinner yeah and we're

[34:00]going we're having we're having family dinner and it's like what the fuck are these people doing out here you know and all this stuff and like well this shit's great you know and all this stuff and my kids like Leo you know he knows exactly he's the 10 year old he knows exactly what's going on right but Eddie I swear he hasn't he hasn't asked about any of this stuff right he hasn't asked about what the heck's going on what is the swear word and he's seven and I think he should know what's going on so we're watching it's it's a a little bit of a pivot here so stay with me you know it's bad when your kid looks over and he's got a can he's like look dad I'm like you go on fuck fuck this shit you're like okay might be time to go back and so I also noticed that Leo hadn't shaved for a week like his dad like his dad hasn't either yeah couple weeks that's a couple weeks it's my annual tradition of scaring Sarah with when I cut in a mustache and she just oh yes runs for the hills I love it yeah so we're watching it's a rainy day we need to find a movie there's a whole bunch of movies up here we decided to pick Marley and Me as a movie

[35:00]oh great topic I know that is the funniest movie I've ever seen in my life right it's PG right and so my kids are on the on the train where it's PG or PG-13 and oh we're watching can we watch PG-13 nope you know can we watch PG sure okay so PG movie a couple things happen one there's like a lot of making out at one scene or it's like maybe not so much but then the second scene is that this guy he's like the dog jumps up on him or something and he goes like holy shit or something like that all right and so Leo goes oh he said a swear word right and so so Eddie just stands up and he's like what what what does that word mean I don't know I hear it everybody's saying that word shit all over the place what does that word mean I have no idea what it means and so he's heard all these people for like three weeks yelling shit all over the place he has no idea that it's a swear word or what it means but Marley and Me has now informed him on what a swear word is so that's my story that that is a what a bummer of a movie to watch

[36:00]I mean were your kids naughty were they misbehaving and you're like okay let's watch Marley and Me you little red bastards it's kind of a feel good you know I would actually say it's a very feel bad movie at the end at the end when the dog dies it's a bummer they did the dog dying marathon and watched Old Yeller afterwards at the end Eddie was like oh shit that was rough yeah bastards in the back even now they watch The Grey and he was like that guy got ate by a fucking wolf that bitch got fucked up you know I wanna be like you dad dad he's not drinking the bottles he's taping it to his hands to fight a wolf he's different than you I'm gonna be just like you it's so good I did a little search that was PG PG-13 movies that show bare breasts or full frontal nudity so let's go through this list real quick Matt just in case you wanna watch these with your family PG or PG-13 both okay we got Doc Hollywood we got European Vacation we got Old Doc Hollywood

[37:00]we got Titanic we have the classic Airplane okay which is PG and shows full frontal nudity Critters 2 Critters 2 now that could be you could teach your kids about going to the bathroom I know that's Ghoulies where they come out of the toilet right that's not Critters I think you're almost always guaranteed to get a little full frontal in some sort of sequel like some sort of bad movie sequel right like they gotta they gotta pull that out don't they La Bamba La Bamba not La Bamba that's different that's the parody I made that's the parody I made in college La Bamba but La Bamba hey Rob Matt can you be quiet did you realize Aaron's doing a Aaron's doing his his big bop okay let's hear it oh no I was trying to inspire Rob but Aaron what do you mean like the big bop or watching a dog die I was just trying to watch some pretty dog movies about some cute puppies and now they're all dead I'm crying crying into my Chantilly lace baby why don't you bring them panties on over here and cheer me up I don't know is that how that goes that was fantastic

[38:00]what's the point I'm gonna go to North Dakota hang out with Matt's family so Matt what are you what do you do when you what did you say when the kid says shit what does shit mean like do you just say like oh it's a bad word and you're gonna hear it's a swear word right like and you know kind of try to take the high road that there's there's better words to use than swear words and you know when you're older you'll understand a little bit more but it's just it's a word that shouldn't be said and adults say it and they can they can do whatever they want but just we're not gonna say those words so there is a there is a thing about getting together with your family where you do have to explain to your kids like well so and so is they see the world a little bit different than we do and this is and they're gonna say some things that we don't agree with but you're not gonna actually hear me disagree because I don't want to cause a big thing at the family thing and the girls are like okay I had did I tell you I had to do that with my mom came up a couple like a month ago when I came and opened up the cabin right and so again completely different world and not it's only 500 miles away

[39:00]but completely different world right and so I didn't warn her and it's my fault that you just have to say like oh yeah oh that's good that's interesting you know kind of a thing somebody said you know some scandemic you know something about Biden or something like that and of course my mom bit it was well you know I don't know you know and so it just turned into this huge thing and like so now I have every time somebody comes up and I warn them like look you're gonna hear things you're not gonna change their mind just move on to a different topic and so that's what you have to do is that a typical practice for you guys if you're gonna have friends in mixed company and maybe it's different political beliefs different use of swear words different things where people you know are gonna be kind of out of their element do you always warn them or not I try to yeah if you can I mean if you can give somebody a heads up I feel like you should well I think especially kids because kids think that you like you know you see something on TV or you maybe you see a guy jacking off on the subway or whatever you kind of explain like why that's happening and what's going on but when they see you

[40:01]hear something that you don't agree with philosophically and you don't say anything they're like well why why aren't you like doing the right thing and it's like well I don't know I actually want to not deal with this all for the rest of the week I found the greatest comeback at least in my head to me I think it's the greatest comeback they don't really like it but I always just say you know we get to these they love their political talk up here and I just say you know when yeah when I just I can't I can't remember the last time that the two electoral votes from North Dakota swayed a presidential election when was the last time you guys you know actually had a a president come up and visit you guys and campaign up here and oh they really like that they really like that when I throw that one out I can't believe they don't come to North Dakota they could see Mount Rushmore I mean you know wait what huh then they bring up a friend from Florida and you're like oh shit Weekend at Bernie's 2 Weekend at Bernie's 2 so that's another one man if you want to put that on the docket was it the dead Bernie guy or who was he Kenny and Bernie Lane nice let's get a girth measurement

[41:00]on Bernie that is a great a great movie concept is the Weekend at Bernie's dragging the dead guy around for the whole they should do an old yeller too where they drag the dead dog around for a while what we're not allowed to make dead dog jokes anymore that was the name of my sex tape that I made was Weekend at Bernie's 3 and I was like no no no it's going it's alive don't worry look it's driving a boat you know Russell roll and go and how's it going with you it's parasailing roll and go things are going good a few weeks ago I went to a cool event the event was called Uncorked Uncorked have you ever heard of such an event Uncorked this is usually what I do before dinner but maybe you get a why don't each of you the Rosie calls a Tuesday why don't there you go why don't all three of you each get one guess at what do you think Uncorked is I think that's where you see the film of me leaving the town of Cork in Ireland and I was like oh we're Uncorked goodbye see ya I like it so a deep pull from a smart guy I think it's a wine tasting with comedy ooh that's a good guess

[42:01]Matt what do you got I think it's a it's a thing where you know people who don't normally drink wine and they don't know how to take a Cork out of a wine bottle they actually teach them how to take the Cork out of a wine bottle which actually happened to Sarah and I at a social event one time we'll talk about that later though let's talk about it now so we went to Sarah's boss's house one time this is like 10 years ago we weren't wine drinkers at the time right so of course oh come on in okay well there's beer over there there's wine over there there's you know over here it's like oh we'll go get some wine so we walk over to get wine yeah we go to get wine well the wine's not open yet so you know there's like there's a Cork or you know Cork screw sitting right there there's a wine bottle and neither Sarah have I ever taken the Cork out of a bottle wait how old are you how old are you at this point I'd say well let's see probably a little early well somewhere in my late 20s what somewhere in my late 20s let's say what I've never drank wine look at Russell's face that was great

[43:00]Russell's picture if Russell went on a date with somebody and they couldn't open a wine bottle we would do a half hour bit on that yes and so of course it was one of those things like well you know we don't know anybody here let's just try this and it went horribly wrong oh no and we completely botched it and I think I eventually kind of like you know pushed it in oh no nope didn't push it in let the Cork fall in no I think we like kind of broke the top off you know trying to pull it and like yanking it and then just re-put the Cork screw in again and somehow wiggled it out but yeah that's the name of my second sex tape actually wiggle it out what Cork whatever Cork in sticking it in yeah Cork in the wine well uncorked the place I went actually had professional people uncorking it Matt so there was no awkward points but Aaron was pretty close it was actually a wine tasting at Canterbury Park where they do the horse racing so you're kind of in like

[44:00]a closed off in like the VIP area during all the horse races and so you get to gamble on the horses and drink wine from all these different wine salesmen at once isn't that amazing that sounds great I would be in for that I was looking for the revelry horns but we don't have it so this is the closest I got right here I was gonna ask you guys though what's your style when it comes to the horse track do you guys ever go to the track do you gamble on horses are you into exact as super effect as win share place all that stuff or not I have never I love gambling and I have never I have never been to a horse track ever Russell I don't know really never ever ever I went to Canterbury once with Russell I'm pretty sure that's the only time I've been to the horse track was with Russell at Canterbury Matt the used to go a lot right not like a lot a lot but like you know three or four times a year and there's a guy I used to work with who would be out there I think they're open Thursday, Friday, Saturday or Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday or something like that

[45:00]there's like night time sounds like we're sponsored by Canterbury here yeah it's a great time for the whole family this guy was out there all the time right and he was a horse better and he knew which horse was gonna you know win because of how they like pranced out to the paddock or whatever this guy's holding his head you know all this stuff well it was all bullshit it's kind of like sports gambling right like you know those people like yeah everybody thinks they know what they're doing they get lucky two or three times and all of a sudden they're an expert right kind of a thing and so I have no idea what's going on I think it's hilarious to bet on like the longest shot and then actually win which we did in Vegas one time right like we all threw five bucks in on something that was a one to 30 whatever we want so I think it's more fun to do the random thing for that because I just have no idea what's going on so that's my when I go to the horse track I just do the random whatever this guy's jockey was from Chile so oh you know it's kind of cool though let's go with a guy from Chile you know that kind of

[46:00]so it turns out it turns out Russell's and I's rolling goings are connected because we're both talking about jockeys so something to think about there there you go bookends we call it we call that a bookend that's what happened when we touched the butt of the guy too so you're betting horse names you're not betting best early speed or you're not doing anything like that no well I know I know the general how to bet all that stuff and how to bet some of the exotic stuff like the super effect is where you bet all four horses in certain orders and everything and I actually hit a couple big bets it was up a few hundred bucks and I got all of a sudden I was winning and I got super excited and I went to this with this event with a horse racing friend a filly a filly kind of oh no I went to this horse racing event and the fun thing about doing a wine tasting with horse racing is it's in between horse races it's usually about 30 minutes and so you can go try some wine for a little bit you know throw your bet in and then watch the race kind of it keeps you busy the whole time but when I started winning I was no longer interested in like going to try

[47:00]new wines I just wanted to sit there with the book and do my handicapping very cool very cool time to be with Russell so it was kind of like that wedding I went to a while back where I was kind of wondering like are you allowed to just ignore a date at a horse track while you're doing your gambling or do you have to interact with them at the wine tasting part how many times are we going to answer the same question it's different it's different we have to start writing these down we have to start writing these down the bottom line is Russell if you get good enough and you get rich you're not going to have to pay attention to your date she's going to be paying attention to you Russell you're going to be a millionaire this is a great idea one thing I was going to ask you guys I remember asking you guys some wine tasting etiquette a while back a few months ago when I was making drunk dials that I shouldn't have been making if you guys can remember back that far yes I was there an interesting thing about this wine tasting is it was scheduled to go from 5 to 9 5 to 9 what time do you think they should be allowed to start picking their stuff up and taking booze off the tables if you've paid from 5 to 9

[48:00]9 to 15 9 yeah 9 to 15 9 to 25 they were picking their stuff up and the wine tasting line off at 8 to 15 45 minutes before the time isn't that bullshit were they out of product though no they just they just were lazy asses nah that's not right I gotta say that is that is incredibly incredibly disappointing that would be so so Russell how big of a scene did you make because now at this point Russell is full of wine he has now actually lost $200 of that money that he won no I lost it later it's something else I was going to tell you about also Beck did it better now owns part of a racehorse just to let you guys know I thought they were supposed to pay to sponsor us I may have paid for us to talk about that Russell please tell us that you did not lend money to Jeb as you know okay public service announcement don't lend money to Jeb

[49:00]just don't do it don't do it come on guys I've got to you just wrecked my next show we're only going so instead of you did it again you lend money to Jeb again so the wine tasting is getting done and they're closing up early so I start bouncing around I start trying everything out because you got to try everything right of course so afterwards you're down there and they have a casino they have like a blackjack tables they've got machines and stuff like that oh god okay so afterwards we've got to let it ride we've got to let the winnings ride so we go down and we start playing blackjack it wasn't even ready to begin with so now the filly you're with she's now what how was the filly's mood during this because I'm sure the filly's actually sitting at the blackjack table playing blackjack with me and actually having a very fun time it was it was good yeah good and so we're playing and the filly was actually winning and I was losing and then and then well we don't need to get into this further but anyways all of a sudden we were doing good

[50:00]and then we started losing and I think the reason was I don't think wine tasting is meant to be mixed with playing in blackjack because I think there's an ideal blood alcohol content for playing blackjack right it's like three beers yeah yeah and I was definitely or 10 milligrams not 50 yeah not 40 milligrams but I was definitely over the legal limit to be competent at blackjack I can't believe a guy who's we have a theme song for him drinking has made a mistake at the blackjack table after a wine tasting we all wanna know but I can't but isn't that what you have to do I remember telling you guys this once before when I was up at a casino up north I won and I left and then I was like I gotta go win more like if you win you gotta let it ride right you don't wanna win a couple hundred bucks you wanna win big that's big a hundred bucks is big a hundred bucks yeah it's big if the boat if a hundred bucks flew out of the boat I would jump off the boat without I would go get a hundred bucks

[51:00]that's how much it's worth to me that is big so I will just say if they ever do the uncorked again at the casino go have fun but just know they're gonna cut you off early and then don't go play blackjack afterwards cause you will lose all your money great advice that's great advice that is great advice Russell can you actually explain to me what a superfector is I mean it's it sounds like a superhero that's gotten out of Germany or something I don't know there's such a thing as an exacto where you pick the first two horses you can do an exacto box which is the first two horses in either order you can do a trifecta which is the first three horses or a trifecta box which is the first three in any order superfect the same thing and now it's four and so essentially to hit a superfector you gotta do pick the first four horses in the correct order and you did that I did it but I bet like fifteen one dollar bets to do it yeah but that still is baller Russell god dang that's awesome you gotta leave after that Russell you gotta leave after that with your date

[52:00]that is a high point you look like a baller after that Rob it was so baller I didn't even care that the person I was talking to was with was annoyed with me that I was focused on gambling and not and not drinking wine I didn't even care well sounds like things are going great at Russell sounds like this podcast is soon gonna have a new jolt of energy as Russell goes back out on the dating scene that much winning is at least a panty pulled to the side or if not a panty hey it's a wine tasting he can say that okay that makes sense to me it's like is this a music podcast yeah oh yeah hey should we talk about some music it's like I want so much money I want so much money I want to see your super effective box it's time let's talk about the album oh yeah oh is this a music podcast no let's talk about some music listen we're talking about Led Zeppelin okay we have already done

[53:01]Led Zeppelin 4 but now we are doing Led Zeppelin 4 and Led Zeppelin 1 which is just called Led Zeppelin and so what you basically need to know about this album is kind of looking at Led Zeppelin and the history of Led Zeppelin Led Zeppelin is essentially the Yardbirds right like they are they have come into existence because of the Yardbirds it's a band that had Jimmy Page it had previously had Eric Clapton and Jeff Beck and the Yardbirds broke up but Jimmy Page was still part of the band and they were required to do a certain number of concerts so Jimmy Page has to do these concerts he asks John Paul Jones to join and there was recommended to him hey you should check out this guy Robert Plant he's in a different band go find him and Plant says hey I've got a great band member named John Bonham this drummer they bring him together and all of a sudden they get together and they realize that they just are smoking it like they are a super they have become a super group with only one of them being in a real group beforehand and what's interesting about this album is they actually

[54:00]recorded this album live in studio so they experimented with moving the microphones to different distances so you'll hear echo sometimes you'll hear Robert Plant's voice bleed into different tracks and it's all because they were playing all of these songs at the same time and then overdubbing later some of the guitars and stuff but with the mics in different areas of the room it would make the amplifiers sound like different things which is pretty cool and of course the band is named because Page Beck and Keith Moon and John Entwistle the bass player from The Who wanted to make a super group and they said oh it'll go over like a lead balloon and then Entwistle said a lead zeppelin now remember John Entwistle died in Las Vegas with a prostitute in his room high on cocaine so let's keep that in mind when we're listening to how smart this guy is he named lead zeppelin and died that way I heard it was after an event called Uncorked he's like guys you know what it's like though when you hit a Xacta and you have cocaine and a stripper in your room but then you want to go win big

[55:00]it's like what are you talking about that is big you haven't won yet that's the biggest so then the problem is so this album comes out and meanwhile Rolling Stone magazine pans it they hate the album they say it's not nearly as good as Jeff Beck's album it's not nearly good as Eric Clapton's album and they actually compared them to all the old members of the Yardbirds and basically they're comparing it to all those guys which is insane when you listen to this album I don't see I mean when you drop the needle on this album and you hear this how do you not love it I don't see it I get there's some duds on this album I get it's not as good as 4 but listen to the drums the bass the voice this song sums up this band perfectly right here I mean the song is complicated enough where they never actually played it live I think they played it live once but god it is an earworm it just sticks in there I'm with you man I just wish there was more of it on this album

[56:00]go ahead yes Rob can you turn the volume down a little on the music I'm going big Russell I'm going real big it's John Bonham I was just saying I wish I wish there was more of this on this album there's other stuff that I could I could kind of take or leave but and isn't that the drumming style is very unique right Bonham is the triplets haven't we talked about this before where you're hitting the bass drum a few times and it's really clearly kind of standing out on that song isn't it I think a lot of these songs they were like hey here's a 12 bars blues song that we can do a long solo on and then some of the songs is what you're going to see Led Zeppelin in the future where it is like this shuffle backbeat complicated bass line killer voice you know interesting guitar but and like I said good times bad times it sums it up and like Aaron said it should be if every song was that this would be a top 10 album easily no questions asked next up we have Babe I'm Gonna Leave You

[57:00]this is exactly what it's about too you just keep selling some lady who's gonna leave her kind of a bold song right right at some point shouldn't you just leave when do you stop telling her to go it's a problem because he actually drove to Canterbury with his date they're in the same car together and so he can't quite get home the event goes until 9 you gotta get your money's worth until 9 is she happy that he raged that it closed up at 8.15 no the worst is when you take a date to uncork that you tell him yeah you also can't partake in the wine tasting because you're my designated drunker I think songs like this are like like to me I have this I have this feeling that like like Nickelback came from you know Pearl Jam's worst impulses I feel like bands like Kansas came from Led Zeppelin's worst impulses like it's like someone listened to this album yeah and just kind of like oh let's make it real dramatic and kind of long with these flourishes

[58:00]and maybe Kansas is the wrong example but you know all these all these classic rock albums launched something and you can point to one band that took the right message from these albums and another one that took the wrong one and I think this song you know is the one where people got the wrong message kind of like the replacements from ABBA you know like horrible horrible take listen we do love the voicemails though keep saying that because that brings in voicemails like nobody's business I love it now this song or the replacements from Unnecessary Roughness it took the worst impulses from that band a movie by the way I saw in the theater Unnecessary Roughness also saw it in the theater agreed yep same and I was like wow Kathy Ireland is such a good kicker that's crazy how good of a kicker she is I can't believe Kathy Ireland hasn't acted more it's crazy it's the wrong movie what the hell are you talking about that was a joke right no that's Unnecessary Roughness right but you said the replacements no I didn't I saw I didn't see the replacements in the theater I'm not a loser I saw the replacements in the theater

[59:00]and Unnecessary Roughness I saw them both in the theater both of them yeah okay all right we're lined at so this I think this song brings up something that we're going to talk about a lot with Led Zeppelin which is they were a little sketchy with music writing giving credit for it and it turns out that this song they took from Joan Baez and Joan Baez actually listed as a traditional song now it wasn't true it was actually written by a woman named Annie Brandon earlier but here's the Joan Baez version that they played it's almost exactly the same the guitar I should say the voice is not the voice on this song is wild whoa I've never heard this this is from Joan Baez in concert so what do you guys think of that so does does that take away from Zeppelin because most of their songs were kind of inspired or very highly influenced by other acts if they would have given them credit would it have been okay or how does that work it's like

[60:00]what everybody did back then right I mean the Rolling Stones I mean even some of the Beatles stuff from all the rock and roll and the the southern blues that came out of the United States right I mean they were all copying each other who are the Beatles copying on the west coast the band from the valley wasn't the Yardbirds but I mean everybody's taken from everybody right and they're kind of just making it their own that was original right well it doesn't feel like that right when you really start diving in all of a sudden you get I forget what song it is but we start getting into this Indian mystic form of music right that George Harrison was bringing and stuff like that and you realize that the Yardbirds were playing that before the Beatles and some of the Beatles started jumping on top you know there's all of these just people jumping on top and so I I don't mind it personally as long as they're not like straight up stealing it I feel like it's like adjacent if you will you're taking it well yes so that's so that's where Led Zeppelin gets in trouble right I mean because I think

[61:00]once you start even the even the Rolling Stones should get in a little bit of trouble a little more trouble than they than they are given credit for but I think at the time as the Stones are a great example because they're all stealing from from old black bluesmen right who they know have no legal recourse aren't going to get it and Robert Plant actually made a great statement he goes listen it's what we did but you don't get in trouble until you get famous so we paid it off we paid who we had to pay and it's done now like and he's right you don't get in trouble for this stuff until you get famous and some people would even think maybe as we know if you're getting copyright maybe not getting copyright strike yet it's actually kind of a bummer like maybe we want that to happen show that somebody's listening or whatever yeah I don't think it doesn't affect how I fair use it doesn't affect how I think about listening to the music like I think and people borrow stuff I think that's great but it affects what I think of them in terms of you know business people or you know to the degree that ethics come into play you know it's like yeah if you're ripping off a whole song and not crediting someone like man it's bad you shook me number three now this

[62:00]is by a guy named Willie Dixon they actually did give him credit all right I think he was appropriately credited on this one because this is a direct 12 bar blues rip off and not gonna lie when you look at the Amazon which song has been played the most this is by far the least but what's interesting is we talked about this on the last album Robert Plant did use that reverse echo effect on this song which is where the echo from his voice comes in before his voice toward the end where the guitar and his voice are doing a back and forth check this out yeah you'll hear the echo oh cool and I think you hear a lot of that when you listen to like Aerosmith now and stuff like that like it's a pretty it sounds cool but at that point this song I really lost this one lost me this one didn't hold my attention yeah no Rob you had mentioned that they'd taken that from Willie Dixon who's this old songwriter bass player was it is it Chess Records back is it Chess

[63:00]is that right Chicago right yeah yeah yeah that's who Chuck Berry was on yeah but so an interesting thing is not Chess the Chess record is a record he said I don't want to talk about that that's different what he put on somebody's chest a number of times so you were talking earlier about the Yardbirds Jeff Beck was part of that group right yeah oh yeah but I've read that Jeff Beck actually recorded this song like three months before before Led Zeppelin did here and I think you got that if you want to pull it up quick oh wow you shook me up oh my love and it's so funny because Jimmy Page was like I don't hear it I don't hear it it's like it's exact same song it's exactly the same they were in the same band and they kind of this is way better it is better he kind of claimed like Jimmy Page kind of said you know oh we both just have a similar influence I didn't know you were doing this or whatever and I think Jeff Beck was kind of annoyed he's like you just did the same thing I did but so it's also like well Jeff Beck you got it from someone else too so why can you

[64:00]be annoyed so I think when it comes to kind of being a little bit of a whiner when it comes to people stealing your music who did it better Beck did it better yes so good Russell so good I saw a couple of my way and I love it perfect next up Dazed and Confused I've never seen this movie oh my no what it's such a good movie let me here I have to bring this up because I think this is hilarious Dazed and Confused is released in 1994 and it was set in 1976 no don't do this so if it was released today it would be 2005 no that's what it would be set 2005 how about that for a little fact that's awful that's almost to the birth of my children I just looked this up like two weeks ago I watched the movie horrible acting yeah awesome movie there's so many lines from there Matthew McConaughey everybody knows his lines well that's what I love about them high school it's just hilarious

[65:01]if you actually watch him say that you know like just the acting is horrible but it's such a good movie love that movie this one again they credited Jimmy Page was credited as the sole composer okay unfortunately there's a guy out there named Jake Holmes it's the same fucking song and they asked him at the time and he goes I'm not gonna do anything about it I don't need it and then in 2010 he did sue him and got an out of court settlement from him so he got paid but this is one of the more famous Led Zeppelin moments where if you go to I think it's like 315 in the song is where Jimmy Page is using a violin bow on the guitar sweet and I have the noise right here right there that's awesome isn't it it's so cool that's pretty cool now this of course led to one of my favorite jokes ever in Spinal Tap which is where

[66:00]the guitar player is playing his guitar with a violin not the bow he's playing it with a violin and then he goes like this like something sounds wrong and he goes and he tunes the violin string and then plays it and goes oh yeah that was good it's such a good bit now they would do that song that was their big song in concert they would play it for 20 minutes what do you guys think when a band extends a song and does like a 20 minute version of it are we down with that or are we no that's where you're running to get a beer you're running to the bar I love it I love it I can't get enough especially you know because you hear these songs right like you hear the album version forever right and I hate when people like get so bored with playing their album version even though it's like the best song ever that they completely change everything and they new refrain and all that stuff right but if they want to go into a maybe 20 minutes is too long right but they want to go into like a 5-10 minute jam session if you will and then bring the song back to what you know is the song I think that I love that that's definitely how you know that Matt

[67:00]has good seats where he can sit down at a concert because I have not been to a concert forever and I used to go to concerts at first I didn't have to stand up and I was like the first 20 minutes I'd be like I love this and then like the last hour I'd just be like you know what I'm 25 but I'm still tired of shit I want to get off my feet speaking of Matt and Good concert tickets I actually got a text from someone a little while ago and they said they've been listening to all of our old podcasts and this person in the text said you know Matt warned you about getting cheap tickets to the Rolling Stones concert this person was not aware that Matt had given me a warning that I should not be buying cheap tickets so thanks for nothing Matt did you tell her that episode by the way might be our highlight and it's all downhill from there I'll tell you where it did work I saw Eiffel 65 in concert and when you hear this song for 20 minutes and you're on the beach in your speedo I mean this is a jam Russell's listening to this song on loop

[68:00]talking on his cell phone in this Thunderbird hey Eiffel 65 this is your cousin Russell you know that sound you've been looking for I found it so that's a good bit that's a speaking of speaking of movies you could watch with the family Matt that's it no dogs dying in that one alright next up your time is gonna come they only performed this song once and I can see why it sucks some of these got a little slow in the middle here didn't they yeah yeah nobody has ever listened to Led Zeppelin and been like I love the organ oh shit I was about to say I like the organ intro there that's the only thing I like about the song is the organ I'll edit that out later or why did you need to switch the organ Russell's never been on a date where somebody said I love the organ you know where we love the organ was the Doors and I heard a little bit of the Doors I don't know which came first the Doors album or this one but I heard a little bit of similarity probably because of the organ

[69:00]it is amazing how great of an instrumental as John Paul Jones is because he's the bass player he's the organ player he arranges a lot of this and it's a bummer because he is still alive he does not tour with Page and Plant anymore he hates them so much Page and Plant don't tour together anymore do they well they have before though and the fact that John Paul Jones didn't it was always such a bummer for me because I love his bass work especially on the later stuff Ramblons you gotta have you have to have at least you have to have over 50% of a band if they're gonna tour again right consider it the band that's you know because Billy Corgan was going out as Smashing Pumpkins forever well it was just Billy Corgan or you know what's his name from John Fogerty God not yeah John Fogerty there you go but who was the other one Chinese Democracy we just went through Guns N' Roses Axl Axl was going out as Guns N' Roses like well you're not Guns N' Roses things like that so no I'm with you do you need more than 50% or just 50% more than 50% so we would need Aaron for you and I to start back to do better on our own correct yep

[70:00]so we can get rid of Rob I'm telling you good luck to all of us have fun I would love to you know what I'll show up let's do next week let's do The Clash next week I'll show up I gotta see what you guys bring I think it'd be so good Black Mountain Side now Russell this one's gonna blow your mind you hear this now guess who claimed to write this I would assume it's the guy from Megadeth Dave Mustaine this is Jimmy Page claimed full writing credit on this one and it is a traditional song yet if you hear the Burt Jantz version called now that was Black Mountain Side this is a totally different song it's called Black Water Side listen to this the guitar is exactly the same the guitar is exactly the same the style and everything I mean it's just Burt Jantz it's very nice it seems weird that they were like

[71:00]ripping stuff off but then using the same song title or very close like I guess they just never thought they'd get in trouble right they just thought they were gonna be fine that's kind of the thing right like I mean you think of Jimmy Page as being one of the best guitarists of all time right am I wrong there he's considered up there I think so maybe not technically but you know feeling wise he is it'd be like Stephen King ripping off like some horror writer from the you know 1800s or something like that right like he's considered to be one of the best horror writers like I don't know like how are these people who are considered the best like if you're the best you should be able to create your own sound right or is he just mimicking yeah I don't know it seems weird to me agree but I'll tell you what then then you hear this song this is a Led Zeppelin class I mean right you finally get to hear Bonham do his thing and you hear a little bit of driving rhythm right this is what I mean this is this is the big single

[72:00]off the album by the way this album only got up to like I don't know this song got up to like 80th on the charts like nothing saves the album right it kind of saves it the middle the middle stretch I'm not saying it's bad but it's just not as exciting as this yes the middle stretch drags I would say it is bad I would argue the middle section is bad like I don't I mean are you ever going to listen to Black Mountain Side like no are you ever going to listen to Your Time Is Gonna Come I'm never going to listen to this album again no I'm never going to listen to this album start to finish again by the way that song Communication Breakdown is about a woman he met that's so hot his knees feel weak has that ever happened to you no my knees are so strong it's crazy strong I have some of the strongest knees in the country okay even when I saw Kathy Ireland kicking field goals my knees totally fine yeah but aren't you one of those lifters that wear the illegal like sleeves on the legs like you're not you're not doing it oh no he goes raw he goes raw no I do have sleeves I am raw but I do have sleeves as well

[73:00]what does raw mean no suit you don't have a special suit but you can wear the knee sleeves so that's how I I feel it better when I'm lifting raw like I feel it more I just you know the other kind of lifting I just think lifting raw just it just is it's like natural and it's like and don't worry I'll tell you like when I'm going to end lifting it's not a big deal so you can trust me trust me I had a second I can't quit you baby I swear to God they have like 10 songs about quitting you or leaving you or I can't quit you babe so I'm gonna the face you guys should see the three faces I'm looking at the three faces I'm looking at are like the most bored actually it's interesting because we you mentioned that Willie Dixon earlier Rob and this is another Willie Dixon song was recorded by this guy named Otis Rush Chicago Blues musician but it's the second time they've recorded Willie Dixon and it's actually there are actually a lot of artists that used Willie Dixon songs

[74:01]on debut albums and so I thought we could maybe do a list of the greatest songs ever written by Willie Dixon oh I love that I love hearing it that's not that's what Russell's date was wondering too Willie Dixon no no he's gambling he's not sitting in the perfect box I'm not drinking wine and I'm stuck here so this guy was really famous for writing a ton of songs for chess records in the 50s and 60s and then they ended up getting covered a lot by the Stones Eric Clapton The Doors George Thorogood Jeff Beck and he also played he also played bass on with Chuck Berry on Maybelline we've talked about that remember that song with the crush The Mediocre 28 so I thought instead of doing the Stones version and the Eric Clapton version though we could do the original versions that were performed by the Blues legends and give these guys the shout out they deserve on this list I'm excited that's great so the first song written by Willie Dixon this is Muddy Waters

[75:00]I Just Wanna Make Love To You from 1954 God this song is so good I mean it's just like Muddy Waters had it you know what I mean I will never apologize for playing that which I'm sorry Russell I think I have it out of order which one is it? I think I Just Wanna Make Love To You you got that one somewhere? yeah I got it here let's just play it All I Wanna Do Is Make Love To You it was a hit 1954 I Just Wanna Make Love To You to be true oh I've actually not heard The Stones have a great version of this this was Etta James Etta James Foghat The Stones The Violent Femmes took part of this for one of their songs oh right I Don't Want You I Can't Believe Willie Dixon Wrote Blister In The Sun Please Save Me I've just enjoyed listening to Muddy Waters I mean you can you can you enjoy Muddy Waters Aaron? yes 100%

[76:00]well let's do one more Muddy Waters song then the next song on the list is Muddy Waters also written by Willie Dixon this is Hoochie Coochie Man oh yes ooh there's some nice harmonica in here so this was 1954 and this was one of the songs that really helped Willie Dixon become a huge songwriter in the blues space can you tell me and I'm being totally serious what is a Hoochie Coochie Man? I've read a little bit about it but I started googling it took me to stuff that you told me I'm not allowed to share on the podcast anymore I mean the blues are very dirty so I think it's probably exactly what we think I'm gonna make you good okay yeah it sounds like it lead me by my hand yeah yeah I'm gonna hit a box trifecta and then we'll go play blackjack and I have to write the blues? I don't know if we heard it on that song but there's a harmonica on that song and it's Little Walter have you guys heard of Little Walter before? yeah oh so the next song on the list is My Babe

[77:00]by Little Walter check this one out My Babe oh yes I know she love me she don't do nothing but kissing her my babe truly baby so this was a traditional gospel song it ended up making the number one on the R&B singles and the song it passed was Ray Charles I Got A Woman which was also a gospel inspired song that's right I got a woman as a church song 20 times Elvis Bo Diddley Chuck Berry covered this pretty crazy pretty cool song Russell did you not watch did you not watch Ray? that was the whole controversy about Ray Charles was he took church songs and made them R&B songs I'll tell you what I was over I had a date so I wanted to go to kind of a lighthearted movie I was over next door with Marley and me God we laughed our asses off at that movie so funny no top listening another great blues musician is next up on the list this is Howlin' Wolf Spoonful yes I don't know

[78:14]this might be in the running I don't want to revisit revisit this again but if I ever get to choose my walk-up music again this one might be up there this is a good one Rolling Stone I can see that this is number 219 on the Rolling Stone greatest song list and I was reading that this kind of Cream made this popular in the 60s but if you go listen to the Cream version and listen to this one I don't know for this one this one to me works better than the Cream version Howlin' Wolf rules man you can't beat Howlin' Wolf this is in the running for I don't want to call Perfecta here or whatever but this is in the running for a top 5 list for sure like legit last song on the list we'll do this one I ain't superstitious but we're not going to do the Howlin' Wolf version we're going to do the Jeff Beck version Jeff Beck guy got fucked earlier we're doing the Jeff Beck version here we have that one

[79:00]Robert no you just sent me the Howlin' Wolf version let's do the Howlin' Wolf version I just I've never been I never have understood how this voice comes from a human it's just it's like from another planet another world Jeff Beck crushed this song on that on his first debut album I think it was Truth and I think we've listened to this one a while back but I think Russell you know what you can hear it right now well that's Beck Hanson I'm pretty sure that's Hanson but I thought that was a pretty cool way to honor the musicians that performed these the original time and honor Willie Dixon who wrote all these amazing songs that's the super box effect of lists actually Willie Dixon Willie Dixon said the blues are and the the blues are the roots and other music are the fruits it's better keep giving it fuck let's just keep it

[80:00]at the first part the blues are the roots and other musics are the fruits it's a good one it's a good way of putting it hey just no big deal guys but I just remembered I'm not recording this on zoom yet so let's keep those downloads make sure they happen because we're screwed if that doesn't work out all right all right no big deal no big deal maybe just make sure this works out all right let's see you guys are great how many more times do we have to not hit record Rob how many more times how many more times how many more I like this is this the oh rosy oh rosy song yeah this was a closing number of concerts for years but it's there's so many people they ripped off on this like there's like four different people I can't even I'm not even gonna play them for you but what's funny about this is on the album they wrote that this song was three minutes and 30 seconds so it would get played on the radio the song is actually eight minutes long so they just wrote the wrong time so people would play it god terrible

[81:00]awful however if you jump ahead in that song there's this part right here now remember this is a well here listen to this right here now if you were to jump to the very beginning of Bex Bolero a song we have talked about a number of times before on this podcast guess who played on Bex Bolero it wasn't just Jeff Beck it was also Jimmy Page it was also John Paul Jones listen to the start of that song oh yeah there it is guys this is a better version isn't it when it comes to somehow being such big rip-off artists yes that they wait no they rip off themselves they ripped off the rip-off artists they ripped off themselves and guess whose version is better

[82:00]Beck did it better so good so good all right so let's get into the very popular and patented rating system oh my god now we're gonna rate this P oh no PG PG-13 just like the hit movie rating system oh yeah nuns on the run if you want to check that out nuns on the run or back to school another PG-13 movie that maybe Matt could check out with the family no reason no reason it's on a list I have all right is this album okay 101 best album okay that would be a rolling well toned Rolling Stones you screwed up the first time you reviewed it you nailed it this time when you said it's 101st best album is this a good rating for this album okay that would be a rolling well toned okay now if somebody just said to you hey this album could be a rolling well toned if it's perfect at 101 that would actually be

[83:00]a rolling bone for this because that's a ripoff just like a lot of this album that is a ripoff rolling bone this should have been higher than 101 we should have heard this maybe we should have heard this before four this is the album that started Led Zeppelin I mean that's got to be worth something or is this a rolling groan you did not like this album you shouldn't have been at 101 it should have been later I mean guys there's a lot of Led Zeppelin albums out there Physical Graffiti that one with the Zosie on it the two three we've already done four I'm not great with naming albums they were good they were not great at like naming things or like coming up with their own stuff but guess what still one of the greatest bands they're not very original is that what you're saying they're not very original if you can name all four of the symbols in a row you can name all four of the first four symbols in a row you'll win a superfecta box and then I'm gonna go play then I'm gonna go sports gamble and win big Russell what do you think Rolling Well Toned Rolling Boned or Rolling Grown Led Zeppelin Led Zeppelin

[84:00]I love the first two songs on the album it reminded me of the beginning of the last album Led Zeppelin was it four which was the one that I put in my top five four I love that album the first two songs in this I was like okay we're right on the same similar track this one didn't quite hold up the same for me some of the songs in the middle just got a little bit too slow I don't really think I completely hold it against them in my enjoyment of the album to know that they've taken from other artists I wish they would've done a better job of giving credit out when they should've but for my enjoyment of the album it didn't really impact that but for me some of the songs were just a bit too slow in the middle so I'm gonna just say it's Rolling a slight I'll just put it Rolling Well Toned what do you think Matt Rolling Well Toned Rolling Boned or Rolling Grown I think it's Rolling Grown I think it should be lower on the list I think this gets a huge pass because of what Led Zeppelin turned into I think if you kind of take a step back and realize this was a Jimmy Page

[85:00]had an obligation to put more music out and get more concerts and they're trying to just put things together so they gotta put things together quick and he's finding all these old songs he likes and ripping off Beck and ripping off Yardbirds things like that I mean it's kind of a compilation and again you don't get in trouble until it becomes popular right and I think he just probably never thought it would get popular or maybe he never thought Led Zeppelin would become popular you know I mean the whole joke about them falling like a Led Zeppelin right so I don't know I don't think the album holds up compared to a lot of the things we hear coming up it's an okay to Rosie's point I don't know if I'm going to go back and listen to it I'd much rather listen to their later stuff when it's a little bit more a little bit more original but so I'm just going to say it's Rolling Grown it should be lower on the list if on the list at all Rosie what do you think and by the way lower on the list I know a lot of you are thinking lower on the list is that a lower number no that would be a higher number we would see it later and of course that would be lower much like if you're

[86:00]on a submarine trip lower is later unless of course you're coming back up so think of a submarine to an underwater base you're only going down lower is later on the trip okay which makes sense okay isn't that just how counting works I don't see why we've had to explain this every no lower is later you think lower is later in counting Rosie that's the bit what a bad parent you are I really I do not care about page and plant I know they're both great in their own right I don't care about them the only thing I care about with Zeppelin is hearing Bonham do Bonham's thing and there's just not enough Bonham doing Bonham stuff on this album for me so it's a hard rolling groan I don't ever want to hear it again that sounds like the guy who's trying on jockstraps he told me he was a big Bonham if it didn't exist Aaron would be advocating for two Clash albums to be higher than two Led Zeppelin albums that is correct that is correct we'll hear about that next week hit the music I'll tell you what this is a rolling plagiarism

[87:00]guys plagiarism this band ripped off so many people that they even ripped off their own band name for the album name they ripped off themselves it's crazy I mean but that's it now you should see who sampled who with these guys it's outrageous it's just like never ending sampling themselves guys I mean I couldn't imagine doing another band where the album is the same as the band name. Like, that would be crazy, right? That would be the most insane. It's not going to happen in two in a row. No way. Speaking of which, next, or, I mean, not speaking of which. See, guys, I'm going to edit that out earlier. This is a little trick of the trade. Next up, we have where Sean Connery went when he went to school. Where was that? Excuse me, I've got to get to Clash. The Clash. By The Clash. The Clash. The Clash. How great is The Rock, the movie The Rock? Oh, it's excellent. It's scary for Rosie, though.

[88:01]He's out in the Bay Area. He might be getting that VX gas. No topless scene in that movie, by the way. Just looked it up real quick. Don't worry. It doesn't matter why I had that database in my phone. Hey, Aaron, I got a quick question for you. What would it sound like if the Big Bopper was Rob Stong's salesman or Speedo's salesman? What would he say when Rob walked out wearing his Speedo? Hey, baby. That only covers up 60% of your butt cheeks. That's just the right amount in my book. Hey, baby, why don't you come on over here? Baby, you know I only had two hits. Chantilly Lace when my plane hit the ground. But I'm going to have three hits because I'm on you, baby. Oh, baby. You know what I like. What I like. Rosie, knock, knock. Shit. Who's there? North Dakota. Rosie's in North Dakota. Knock, knock, Rosie. Who's there? Dishes. Dishes. Dishes who? Dishes Sean Connery. I have to get to Clash. Thank you, Matt.

[89:01]Whew.
