[05:43]movie that came out like 2016. no no and there's literally this scene
[05:45]no no and there's literally this scene
[05:45]no no and there's literally this scene and it turns out it's one of his bits
[06:01]Three and a half minutes to squeak out.
[06:03]Not now, Rob, at the end.
[06:04]Okay.
[06:04]Yeah.
[06:05]You can do all our talk here.
[06:07]Let's just do it now.
[06:08]Let's just do it.
[06:09]Oh, God.
[06:09]Hey, Zeke, what do you guys do for fun around here?
[06:12]I'll edit this.
[06:12]Oh, no.
[06:13]So Pee-wee is now.
[06:14]He was actually a judge on Top Chef in one of the recent years.
[06:17]Oh, wow, Russell.
[06:19]You can go to one of those restaurants.
[06:20]Oh, he's really working.
[06:22]I've told you this is one of my greatest fears, right?
[06:26]You'd be a good recorder player.
[06:27]Jesus.
[06:28]Yeah, the wind on this guy.
[06:30]My kids and I literally watched this ten times.
[06:32]Just couldn't stop laughing.
[06:34]If you blow up a balloon and it blows up and takes out one of your eyes,
[06:38]that would be the worst because you have an eye patch.
[06:41]Okay.
[06:42]He's got a huge balloon.
[06:53]Watch everybody in the background starts gathering.
[07:00]It's so late.
[07:01]Hold on.
[07:01]It's so bad.
[07:11]Oh, God.
[07:12]It's literally the funniest thing he's ever done.
[07:16]There's no way we're just going to pull this off.
[07:19]Hold on.
[07:21]Oh, my God.
[07:29]Oh, my God.
[07:29]This is a good bit.
[07:31]The balloon is still so big.
[07:33]Still going.
[07:41]What if this is what gets us taken down for copyright?
[07:49]Yeah, this is it, right?
[07:50]You just played an entire scene for the QE.
[07:52]How's he keeping all the air in the balloon?
[07:59]Hold on, just wait until they all collapse again.
[08:02]We're going to lose the last four listeners we have here.
[08:09]Hold on.
[08:12]The most mind-blowing part from this scene
[08:21]is that according to this YouTube clip,
[08:23]it is from a movie called Kiwi's Big Holiday.
[08:26]I have never, ever heard of that movie.
[08:28]It's on Netflix.
[08:29]It's on YouTube.
[08:29]It was from 2016.
[08:30]It's on Netflix.
[08:31]That's right.
[08:32]Kids, we got into the big adventures.
[08:34]We watched it.
[08:35]Adrian, Mr. Herman.
[08:36]Mr. Herman.
[08:37]We had a telephone call at the front desk.
[08:40]Yep.
[08:40]And then, so that one came on,
[08:42]and then literally it was like,
[08:43]oh, the thing's dragging,
[08:44]and then this scene comes on.
[08:45]It is the funniest Pee-wee three minutes
[08:48]in the history of Pee-wee Herman.
[08:50]This is so good.
[08:51]No, it's just a balloon.
[08:52]No, I got to say, the worst part of this is,
[08:54]this does step on.
[08:55]We have a brand new bit.
[08:57]Instead of a voicemail this week,
[08:58]I have a brand new bit.
[08:59]Now, I'm just going to tell you,
[09:00]if this bit is a bomb,
[09:01]we can cut it.
[09:02]It's not a big deal,
[09:03]so don't get mad.
[09:04]Russell sometimes gives me a mad look
[09:05]when I come up with new...
[09:07]Is he getting a cowboy hat on?
[09:08]Is he getting a mad look with a cowboy hat on?
[09:11]But I'm going to tell you right now,
[09:12]we've got a new segment on the show,
[09:14]and this segment of the show is called
[09:16]Video Breakdown.
[09:17]Video Breakdown.
[09:18]It is time.
[09:20]Five, four, three, two, one.
[09:24]For another better...
[09:25]Video Breakdown.
[09:27]Are we going to break down Pee-wee Herman?
[09:29]Pee-wee's big holiday Amish balloon video?
[09:31]Yeah.
[09:32]Because if we do this twice,
[09:33]it'll be awesome.
[09:34]No, unfortunately, we're not.
[09:37]We're doing something that...
[09:38]It would be pretty epic
[09:39]if we broke it down a second time.
[09:40]We can't do it, Russell.
[09:42]I get why it'd be funny.
[09:43]We can't do it.
[09:44]Rob hates funny podcasts.
[09:46]How about when he does it on Conan?
[09:50]Can we do it when he's doing it
[09:51]in front of Conan?
[09:51]Guys, here's the deal.
[09:54]You're going to thank me
[09:55]for rushing along with this.
[09:56]We are going to watch the video,
[09:58]and I've been thinking about this
[09:59]ever since Russell got his cowboy hat
[10:00]that he's wearing.
[10:01]We are going to break down the video
[10:03]Chattahoochee by Alan Jackson.
[10:05]We're going to let it play.
[10:05]Way down yonder, huh?
[10:06]And we are going to watch this video
[10:08]because ever since I saw
[10:09]Russell's white cowboy hat,
[10:10]it reminded me of the
[10:11]Alan Jackson Chattahoochee video,
[10:12]so I watched it.
[10:13]Way down yonder on the Chattahoochee
[10:15]Never knew what it meant to me
[10:18]And it turns out
[10:20]this is the most insane video of all time.
[10:22]There is a reason
[10:23]there has never been another star performer
[10:26]who for the entire video
[10:28]is wearing a life jacket.
[10:29]Can you think of another video
[10:31]where somebody is wearing a life jacket
[10:32]for most of it?
[10:33]Watch this video.
[10:34]Here we go.
[10:34]Life jacket doesn't seem like
[10:36]the coolest way to go, does it?
[10:37]At least it's not the big orange one.
[10:40]The orange life jackets are the worst, right?
[10:41]Like if you have to go on a boat
[10:42]and the only one they have left,
[10:43]Russell, is the orange life jacket.
[10:45]And I feel like we've talked about this
[10:47]on the show before.
[10:47]Chattahoochee.
[10:48]We're doing a video breakdown.
[10:49]Let's watch it.
[10:50]It's from 92, by the way.
[10:53]It's the water skiing video.
[10:55]He's water skiing with the white cowboy hat on.
[10:57]With Alan Jackson.
[10:59]He's got a pink life jacket.
[11:02]He's wearing the ripped jeans.
[11:03]And he's doing slalom style, too.
[11:06]He's one ski, he's slalom style.
[11:07]He's wearing jeans in the water.
[11:08]This is like jeans that are
[11:10]straight to fit right here.
[11:11]This is my shit right here.
[11:12]He's just trying to get it.
[11:13]I mean, he did wear some tight jeans.
[11:14]Whoa, that's pretty impressive.
[11:16]He's a good skier.
[11:16]He's literally a good skier.
[11:17]Now, here's the thing with Alan Jackson.
[11:20]You find out why he wears sunglasses so much.
[11:23]He has a very feminine...
[11:25]We're going to have to cut the audio on this.
[11:25]If we were going to get cut before,
[11:27]this will do it.
[11:29]He has a very feminine upper face.
[11:34]What?
[11:35]When he wears his sunglasses,
[11:36]he looks badass.
[11:36]He's got a mustache.
[11:37]When he's not wearing his sunglasses,
[11:39]look at his face
[11:40]when he's not wearing sunglasses.
[11:41]He looks like Alan Jackson's sister.
[11:43]What are you talking about?
[11:44]Look at those eyes, though.
[11:46]He's got a sideburns, a mullet, and a mustache.
[11:48]Also, that's not even an official cowboy's jersey.
[11:50]That's like one you'd make.
[11:50]No, it's not.
[11:51]It's a knockoff.
[11:52]That is Herschel Walker.
[11:54]He went to Georgia.
[11:55]So it makes sense.
[11:58]I mean, this video has...
[12:04]It's just him water skiing and wakeboarding now.
[12:07]In jeans.
[12:07]Oh, wow.
[12:08]In jeans.
[12:09]He flipped.
[12:10]We took a little wipe out there.
[12:11]This, guys, this video is insane.
[12:13]Rob, you drive people around on like the tube and stuff.
[12:16]Are you one who tries to whip them off
[12:18]or do you let them try to stay on?
[12:19]I, you know what,
[12:21]now that my kids are tubing,
[12:23]I'm the nicest tube rider ever.
[12:24]Like, compared to what my dad used to do to me
[12:27]when I'm doing it,
[12:27]I'm trying to be very, very...
[12:28]You gotta let that thing go slack
[12:30]and right when they think they're good,
[12:31]you hammer it down, right?
[12:33]His life jacket also is just really something like the...
[12:37]Oh, there's a little pup.
[12:38]Yeah, look at their life jacket
[12:41]with the sort of cosmic print on it.
[12:44]And how come...
[12:45]Why in the music video
[12:46]is it going from daylight to nighttime?
[12:48]It's daylight and then all of a sudden it's nighttime
[12:50]and now it's daylight again.
[12:51]There's a turtle across the street.
[12:53]Hey, the turtle...
[12:53]Do you know who would really do well in this video?
[12:56]Who's that?
[12:57]It's Jenny with her...
[12:58]Transition glasses.
[12:59]Oh, from Day to Night.
[13:00]She'd be perfect.
[13:01]Oh, my God.
[13:04]Maybe that's what Alan Jackson had on him.
[13:06]Why do you think he has such a feminine upper face?
[13:07]Now he's skipping rocks.
[13:09]Are you guys good at skipping rocks?
[13:11]Man, I could see you being a great rock skipper.
[13:13]Oh, yeah.
[13:14]You know, I was almost a sidearm pitcher.
[13:17]So, yeah, I can do pretty well.
[13:18]Oh, wow.
[13:19]Look at those cowboy boots.
[13:20]The red and white cowboy boots,
[13:22]those are one of a kind.
[13:23]Do you guys ever have cowboy boots?
[13:25]As a kid, yeah.
[13:27]I've always thought,
[13:28]are cowboy boots for people with fat feet?
[13:30]I feel like my feet are too fat for cowboy boots
[13:32]that they would just get squished.
[13:34]Yeah, if you ever have to have a concern
[13:36]that you won't be able to get them off by yourself,
[13:38]you probably shouldn't have them, right?
[13:40]That's true.
[13:40]That's a...
[13:41]Oh, my God.
[13:41]If he's going to have someone else take them off...
[13:44]He's not going to be tubing with a guitar.
[13:45]Alan Jackson is now tubing
[13:47]and playing a guitar at the same time.
[13:48]This video is un-fucking-believable.
[13:50]This is the most amazing thing.
[13:52]And then he's got a party
[13:52]where there's, like, some people playing fiddles
[13:54]and some people just dancing by fireworks.
[13:56]And there's people just shooting...
[13:57]Just shooting...
[13:58]Shooting off fireworks, right?
[13:59]Right next to people's faces.
[14:00]I'm way too cautious.
[14:02]I would be like,
[14:02]we need to be away from the fireworks here.
[14:04]Yeah.
[14:05]Now there's just random people
[14:06]making out in front of a car.
[14:07]Do you think Alan Jackson was like,
[14:10]listen, guys, I can water ski.
[14:12]We're going to put this into the video.
[14:13]Or do you think they said,
[14:14]hey, Alan Jackson, can you water ski?
[14:16]Because I have this idea for a video.
[14:17]Like, it's kind of the chicken or the egg.
[14:19]It's the Alan Jackson or the water ski.
[14:20]It's got to come from Alan Jackson first, right?
[14:22]No, it had to be him, right?
[14:23]Yeah, he had to be like,
[14:24]I got to show off my water ski skills.
[14:26]What happened to Alan Jackson?
[14:28]Why?
[14:28]Why isn't he...
[14:29]Nothing.
[14:30]He just got old.
[14:31]I think he's a member of the Grand Ole Opry.
[14:32]Never got out in 1992.
[14:33]I think he still performs at the Opry occasionally.
[14:36]When you're a member of the Opry,
[14:37]I believe you have to,
[14:39]you're required to perform there
[14:40]a certain number of times a year.
[14:43]And I think he's a member.
[14:43]I think he still performs at the Opry.
[14:45]All right.
[14:49]That's a nice little tag.
[14:50]And then the fisherman at the end
[14:54]pulls up his white hat.
[14:55]Russell, does that make you kind of sad
[14:56]seeing a fisherman pulling up
[14:58]the white cowboy hat,
[14:59]implying, I assume,
[15:00]that Alan Jackson is dead?
[15:01]What?
[15:03]Well, that's right.
[15:04]I mean, he's pulling the cowboy hat.
[15:05]Do you see what he's doing?
[15:06]The fisher person,
[15:07]he's pulling the cowboy hat out of the lake.
[15:09]I feel like my white cowboy hat
[15:11]has much more credibility
[15:13]now that I've watched this Chattahoochee video.
[15:15]Is that also why you've been wearing a life jacket
[15:17]for this whole record?
[15:18]So you're trying to really get in the...
[15:21]What's he talking about
[15:23]when he says it gets hotter than the hoochie-coochie?
[15:24]Oh, Aaron.
[15:26]What's he saying?
[15:27]What's that about?
[15:28]I don't know.
[15:29]Now, it's possible that I've watched this video so much
[15:32]that I did kind of a deep dive, maybe,
[15:34]on what that is,
[15:35]and I did some research on it.
[15:36]A hoochie-coochie was the sideshow
[15:38]at a circus where they had the women stripping.
[15:41]So that was the hoochie-coochie.
[15:43]That's like what a hoochie-coochie man is, right?
[15:46]Like the song.
[15:46]So it's hotter than that.
[15:49]And guys, think of this.
[15:50]It's a summer night.
[15:51]You take your family to the fair.
[15:54]Your kid is riding the little kid ride,
[15:57]you know?
[15:58]They've had funnel cake.
[16:00]You've had a full fair experience.
[16:01]But you're dad.
[16:03]You know, you've had a hard week.
[16:04]You gotta see some women stripping in the tent next door.
[16:08]You go in there.
[16:09]There is no air conditioning.
[16:10]It is going to be so hot.
[16:11]It's full of guys watching women strip.
[16:13]That would be one of the hottest places ever.
[16:15]Alan Jackson makes a great point.
[16:17]What would the announcer sound like
[16:18]if they were the announcer at the hoochie-coochie, Rob?
[16:28]Here comes Ginger.
[16:29]Ginger, come on up to the stage.
[16:31]Quit your grinning and drop your linen, Ginger.
[16:35]By the way, we also have Star coming around.
[16:39]She's got mini-donuts.
[16:40]Mini-donuts, Star, from the fair.
[16:42]You want some mini-donuts?
[16:43]Feel free.
[16:43]I mean, would that be the perfect night, right?
[16:48]I mean, we talked about the perfect day last episode,
[16:50]but the perfect night might be you're in the hoochie-coochie tent
[16:53]eating mini-donuts, I think.
[16:54]Actually doing anything and also eating mini-donuts.
[16:57]Really?
[16:58]Whatever.
[16:58]Have you guys ever gone to a hoochie-coochie
[17:00]with someone who claimed they only wanted to go there
[17:02]to get the tater tots?
[17:03]Because I have.
[17:06]Tater tots.
[17:09]That sounds even worse.
[17:10]That sounds super dirty.
[17:11]Well, guys, I hope you enjoyed that new segment
[17:13]on Beck Did It Better, Video Breakdown.
[17:16]Yeah, that was good.
[17:19]I like that.
[17:20]Excellent.
[17:21]Well, we have lots and lots of voicemails and text,
[17:24]so that definitely wasn't the reason for it.
[17:26]We don't have a voicemail?
[17:27]Seriously, how many people do you think listen to this a week?
[17:31]Are we under 10?
[17:32]I don't know.
[17:35]I think on this podcast, we're under three,
[17:38]so I think that's not a good sign.
[17:39]Listen, let's get into it.
[17:43]Let's talk about what we're up to.
[17:44]Let's talk about rolling and going
[17:45]and not think about who's listening and not listening.
[17:47]It's time for rolling and going.
[17:53]I assume what's going to happen
[17:55]is that this is going to be some sort of
[17:57]that one of us are going to pass out
[17:59]before 3 a.m. tonight?
[18:01]No, no.
[18:01]I assume this is going to be one of those situations
[18:03]of like, we're famous artists,
[18:05]but we're going to die before we get famous.
[18:07]You know what I mean?
[18:08]Like, this podcast is going to be in a museum somewhere
[18:10]and everybody will be like,
[18:11]wow, they were really underappreciated
[18:12]while they were alive.
[18:14]Yeah, I think you're right.
[18:15]I can't believe they all went tubing with a guitar
[18:18]and died because you shouldn't do that.
[18:20]And then they pulled Russell's hat out of the water
[18:22]at the end.
[18:22]And do a nice cowboy hat.
[18:24]Speaking of Russell, rolling and going,
[18:26]how's it going with you?
[18:26]Rolling and going.
[18:27]Things are going great.
[18:28]Last week I told you guys I went up north
[18:30]and on my way up north, I went to a wine bar.
[18:33]It was a great time.
[18:33]Another thing I did up north for the first time
[18:36]is I went out brunching at a restaurant
[18:37]called the Red Stew in Bemidji.
[18:39]The Red Stew.
[18:40]It's kind of like the hot brunch spot in Bemidji.
[18:43]What's the Red Stew?
[18:45]Now, Russell, how hot was it?
[18:47]Hotter than the Chattahoochee?
[18:51]That's not what the line is.
[18:53]So I went up north.
[18:57]I went up way up yonder
[18:59]past the Chattahoochee in Bemidji.
[19:01]Wait, am I missing it?
[19:03]What's the joke?
[19:04]Hoochie Coochie.
[19:05]It's hot.
[19:05]I don't know what a Hoochie Coochie is.
[19:06]Go ahead.
[19:08]So anyways, this Red Stew restaurant
[19:11]is famous for having these cinnamon rolls
[19:13]that are huge.
[19:14]They're like the size of a pizza,
[19:15]a $10 cinnamon roll.
[19:17]And they have a new cinnamon roll each month.
[19:19]And can you guys want to guess
[19:21]what the cinnamon roll of the month was for this month?
[19:23]No, wait.
[19:26]What?
[19:26]What?
[19:27]Cinnamon roll?
[19:28]So there's flavors of cinnamon rolls?
[19:29]If anyone wants to check it out,
[19:31]go to Red Stew, R-E-D Stew, S-T-U.
[19:34]It's a restaurant in Bemidji.
[19:36]It's kind of like the hot brunch spot in Bemidji.
[19:38]Was it an M&M cinnamon roll?
[19:40]It was not, but it was hot.
[19:42]It was hotter than a Chattahoochee, Rob?
[19:45]Oh, my God.
[19:46]A Hoochie Coochie?
[19:47]A cayenne cinnamon roll?
[19:48]You're going to give them that hat pretty soon.
[19:50]But it was called the Campfire S'mores Roll.
[19:52]A cinnamon roll incorporated in cream cheese,
[19:55]frosting, drizzled with milk,
[19:57]milk chocolate, marshmallow whip,
[19:59]and graham cracker crumble.
[20:00]Holy shit.
[20:01]And the thing came out, and it was legit.
[20:03]You know when people talk about food being big,
[20:05]and they're just saying that because they want to act
[20:08]like they're not going to eat it all in front of other people?
[20:10]This thing was legit huge.
[20:12]It looked like it came out like a pizza.
[20:16]Whoa.
[20:18]And it was a s'more cinnamon roll.
[20:21]A s'more cinnamon roll.
[20:22]So they have a monthly roll,
[20:24]but they also have another cinnamon roll
[20:26]that they're very famous.
[20:27]It's called the Cinnamon Roll French Toast Casserole.
[20:31]How do you guys feel about a cinnamon roll
[20:34]French toast casserole?
[20:35]I feel like I need a nap already.
[20:37]That makes me hotter than a Hoochie Coochie.
[20:39]I thought you would like that, Rob.
[20:42]Oh, my God.
[20:43]But so I went to this place called the Red Stew,
[20:45]had these amazing cinnamon rolls.
[20:47]And while I was there, you guys know I'm a bruncher.
[20:49]I like kind of going checking out new restaurants.
[20:51]And so they had mimosas and Bloody Marys,
[20:55]but they didn't really have any other food.
[20:57]They had some other brunch-style cocktails.
[20:58]And I didn't really know what to do
[20:59]because I'm not really a mimosa person.
[21:01]I'm not a Bloody Mary person.
[21:03]So I was curious, what is your guys' brunch style
[21:05]when it comes to breakfast drinks?
[21:07]Do you do mimosas, Bloody Marys,
[21:09]or are you looking for something else?
[21:10]Coffee.
[21:12]I'm looking for coffee.
[21:13]Coffee.
[21:13]Yeah.
[21:14]Well, we know Russell's not going to do that.
[21:17]He's not going to.
[21:17]He might get some hot chocolate, but no coffee.
[21:21]That coffee gets hotter than a Chattahoochie, right?
[21:24]Yep, you're right, Russell.
[21:25]You nailed it.
[21:27]I've never had a mimosa, Russell,
[21:28]where at the end I said,
[21:29]oh, wow, that was really worth it.
[21:31]It's always too sour and too sweet.
[21:33]What if it was a pineapple orange mimosa
[21:36]or a tropical mimosa?
[21:37]Because the Red Stew has like six flavors of mimosas.
[21:40]One of them was a blueberry lemon mimosa.
[21:43]What do you think of that?
[21:44]I don't know.
[21:45]I have been trying to eat more pineapple lately.
[21:47]Where do the blueberries and the lemons come from?
[21:50]I'm also not really a mimosa guy.
[21:52]I'll drink one if it's in front of me.
[21:53]I like a Bloody Mary, but as you guys know,
[21:55]I'm shot in a beer.
[21:56]So the last time I went out for brunch and drank
[21:58]was actually in Phoenix with my brother
[22:00]and they happen to have old-styling cans
[22:02]at this place called The Larder in the Delta.
[22:04]So I think I had a couple old-styles
[22:06]and a shot of Mezcal.
[22:07]So that's usually where I go.
[22:08]You're just a shot in a beer,
[22:09]whether it's brunch or not.
[22:11]I mean, why not?
[22:12]Yeah, it's a good time.
[22:13]When's a bad time to go shot in a beer?
[22:14]I respect that.
[22:16]I think a brunch, you could do whiskey on the rocks, right?
[22:18]There's nothing wrong with that.
[22:19]You're drinking.
[22:20]You're drinking.
[22:21]Yeah, let's get into it.
[22:23]Let's do it.
[22:23]And then give me one of those big fucking cinnamon rolls.
[22:26]No, I don't have to leave.
[22:28]You're being belligerent.
[22:29]Your blood sugar is spiking, you know, stuff like that.
[22:34]We might have to post this on the Instagram.
[22:36]I was also told by one of our listeners today
[22:39]that our Instagram has been pretty weak lately.
[22:41]I don't know if I forwarded you guys that one or not, but...
[22:44]No, that's fine.
[22:46]Don't mind getting criticized.
[22:47]It's cool.
[22:48]Once again, Rob's not concerned.
[22:50]Well, you know, those three likes that we got
[22:52]and everything we posted, you know,
[22:53]that's really motivating to keep going.
[22:55]Yeah, one of them is usually me.
[22:56]Or maybe the no voicemails leading to us
[22:59]watching a video from 1992.
[23:00]It could be anything.
[23:01]I mean...
[23:02]It's a good video.
[23:02]It's a great video.
[23:04]Better than most of the voicemails we get, actually.
[23:05]Are we watching Crazy by Aerosmith next?
[23:09]Is that the next video breakdown?
[23:10]We've already done that breakdown, man, believe it or not.
[23:14]Oh, shit.
[23:15]Holy shit.
[23:16]There is the picture.
[23:16]I will send you guys the picture for Instagram
[23:18]of the s'mores cinnamon roll.
[23:20]So did you eat it?
[23:22]Did you try it?
[23:23]Aaron, of course I ate it.
[23:26]What's yours?
[23:26]What's the review?
[23:27]It was fantastic.
[23:29]It was amazing.
[23:29]It was a must-do.
[23:31]I must say, though, I'm a bigger fan of the French,
[23:34]the cinnamon roll French toast casserole.
[23:37]That had a little more to it than the regular s'mores.
[23:41]You had two different cinnamon roll items at this restaurant.
[23:44]So hold on.
[23:44]So hold on.
[23:45]Can I talk?
[23:47]Can I talk?
[23:48]When I was talking mini donuts, Russell was like,
[23:50]oh, that's amateur hour.
[23:51]Hold your hoochie-coochie.
[23:52]So this place has, like, good, you know,
[23:54]they've got good food beyond the cinnamon roll.
[23:55]They've got, like, frittata.
[23:56]They've got stuff that Aaron would talk about some guy
[23:59]in some movie flipping over perfectly.
[24:00]Like, you know, they had, like, eggs,
[24:03]and they had, like, all your brunch things.
[24:04]So, like, me and the fellow brunch driver I'm with,
[24:07]the foodie, we're like, well, let's,
[24:09]we're going to get some normal food.
[24:10]We're not just going to get the cinnamon rolls.
[24:11]We'll get, like, normal, you know,
[24:12]like some sort of egg or scramble or something like that.
[24:15]And we decided to get the cinnamon roll of the month,
[24:20]the s'mores roll, which is $10, so it's huge.
[24:23]And so it's not a price thing, but it's like,
[24:26]you know, we're probably,
[24:26]we're probably not eating both of them,
[24:27]but the brunch driver I'm with, the foodie was like,
[24:30]well, we need to try them both.
[24:31]And I'm not going to argue with that.
[24:33]So we got them both, but then immediately
[24:35]we became the people at the bar where, like,
[24:37]you have way too much food in front of you.
[24:39]And then, like, people are looking at you.
[24:41]So it's like, is this buddy that you're with,
[24:42]this big dude that you're with, like,
[24:44]I mean, can he put this stuff down?
[24:45]Is that, I mean, is it like one of those things?
[24:48]I'm so happy.
[24:49]So it's not a big deal?
[24:54]I will just say,
[24:56]I will just say this.
[24:57]We did have to take the s'mores roll home,
[24:59]and we had to take part of the cinnamon toast,
[25:02]french toast casserole home as well.
[25:04]What kind of friend is this?
[25:06]What kind of friend is this that doesn't want to just put this down?
[25:08]Boy, I would yell at this guy.
[25:10]When you say home, at what point do you, like,
[25:11]at what point do you split up the leftovers and send some to their house
[25:14]and take some to your house?
[25:15]When you say home, I mean.
[25:17]It almost makes you wonder when this friend's going to become a roommate.
[25:20]It would just be simpler, I would think,
[25:21]to bring this stuff to one home.
[25:23]I don't know.
[25:23]There was a point where we had to disagree,
[25:25]but when we refilled,
[25:26]we reheated it in a microwave.
[25:27]We were up north,
[25:28]and Kohl's Resort has microwaves here,
[25:30]and they don't have toaster ovens.
[25:32]Oh, that's fancy.
[25:32]Very fancy.
[25:33]We decided to reheat both of these leftovers in a microwave,
[25:36]and then we may or may not have had a disagreement
[25:39]about who ate more of the leftovers,
[25:41]and that maybe I ate more than my fair share
[25:44]of the cinnamon roll, french toast casserole.
[25:47]Do you guys ever have that,
[25:48]where you're splitting something with maybe a friend
[25:51]or someone that you're a roommate with,
[25:54]and then you ate more than your fair share?
[25:56]Or maybe you're just.
[25:56]You're just rooming with them up north,
[25:57]you know, or whatever.
[25:58]And you get to that moment where it's like,
[26:01]oh, is there any left for me?
[26:02]And you're like, oh, no,
[26:03]I thought you already had all of the bites
[26:05]you were going to have.
[26:06]Oh, terribly sorry for that oversight.
[26:08]Then Russell yells,
[26:10]puts his hand on the glass and water skis.
[26:12]I've had enough.
[26:14]I'm going water skiing.
[26:15]I'm out of here.
[26:15]I may or may not have also been told this weekend
[26:18]that this was the first time where I didn't let this foodie
[26:21]have like the last bite of something,
[26:23]where I've essentially claimed the last bite of something.
[26:26]Oh, no.
[26:26]And they said this was the first time that happened.
[26:29]And I was made aware of that.
[26:31]That's not very Minnesotan of you.
[26:32]No.
[26:33]Next step.
[26:35]Roommates, I think.
[26:36]I think that's the next step
[26:37]when you're not thinking about that other person like that.
[26:40]Russell, you had so much.
[26:43]I just got to say this.
[26:45]To go up north and room with this foodie
[26:48]after you've eaten and drank so much fruit in one day,
[26:52]that's wild to me.
[26:53]If I had that much fruit between all the fruit you had.
[26:56]The bread was on day one.
[26:57]The brunch was on day two.
[26:59]They were split apart.
[27:00]Oh, but you had fruit with that breakfast, too.
[27:03]I mean, that's so much.
[27:03]That would just destroy me.
[27:05]What do you mean fruit with the breakfast?
[27:06]There was no fruit with this breakfast.
[27:07]Oh, there was no fruit?
[27:08]Oh, my God.
[27:11]It was just cinnamon rolls.
[27:12]Cinnamon rolls and eggs and bacon.
[27:15]You're right.
[27:16]That sounds good for your stomach.
[27:17]I'm wrong.
[27:17]Sorry about that.
[27:18]That's my bad.
[27:19]All good there.
[27:21]No concerns.
[27:21]Should we do a thing?
[27:23]I'm thinking, guys.
[27:24]Should we do a thing where when you're doing the rolling,
[27:26]going, that when you think it's over,
[27:28]you say to somebody, what's rolling going with you,
[27:31]or do you want me to do it?
[27:32]Matt, we're only going what's happening with you.
[27:35]That sounds pretty good.
[27:37]I'm dying to hear Aaron's, by the way.
[27:39]Cannot wait.
[27:40]We'll just save that.
[27:42]We'll let that one marinate for a little bit.
[27:43]I'm going to go before Aaron.
[27:44]We'll go to you next, Rob.
[27:45]Yeah, thank you.
[27:45]We'll let Aaron go last.
[27:46]How about that?
[27:46]Oh, wow.
[27:47]Geez, I hope I can live up to it.
[27:48]We're into the fall, right?
[27:51]So we've got a lot of things happening.
[27:52]The Twins, Major League Baseball.
[27:56]I think it's good again.
[27:57]Autumn Classic.
[27:58]I had one already, by the way.
[27:59]Delish.
[28:00]What'd you have?
[28:01]I missed it.
[28:02]The pumpkin spice iced coffee from Starbucks.
[28:04]Hey, if you're a hater, fuck you.
[28:07]It is delicious.
[28:08]The Twins are in a real hot race, aren't they?
[28:13]You know, Twins are getting good,
[28:17]and watching the Twins get good,
[28:18]they're just going to rip our heart out again.
[28:20]So by the time this episode comes out,
[28:21]they'll probably be out of the playoffs.
[28:23]But at least for right now, it's kind of fun to watch.
[28:26]Just a little bit.
[28:26]Just a little bit.
[28:27]All they have to do is win the AL Central.
[28:29]It's not that big a deal.
[28:30]No.
[28:31]Or that hard.
[28:32]To do that was like plus 400.
[28:34]It would be great if they won the AL Central.
[28:36]I'm a huge Twins fan right now.
[28:37]Yep.
[28:38]Yep.
[28:39]I was going to say that my favorite hoochie-coochie experience
[28:44]is there was one of our friends that lost a sweatshirt
[28:46]at a hoochie-coochie place one time
[28:48]and still talks about losing the sweatshirt.
[28:50]You know, never got it back,
[28:52]and he's still pretty bitter about it.
[28:53]But were there tater tots?
[28:55]I don't know if there's tater tots there.
[28:58]Oh, that's what you call them, Russell?
[29:00]I mean, you should just say breasts.
[29:01]Well, it also comes with the fall.
[29:07]Can I say this?
[29:08]Your friend who lost a sweatshirt,
[29:09]did he not understand how a hoochie-coochie place worked?
[29:12]I don't think so.
[29:13]You don't take the clothes off.
[29:14]I don't think so.
[29:16]When he's like, quit your grinning and drop your linen.
[29:18]He's not talking to you.
[29:19]He was from a different state, though,
[29:20]and I think they do things a little different over there.
[29:22]You're a flirt.
[29:23]Take off that sweatshirt.
[29:25]I can't remember if he's on all of the text chains we're on
[29:29]or just some of them.
[29:30]I can't remember.
[29:31]He got dropped from one.
[29:34]Oh, I can't believe.
[29:35]He got dropped from one.
[29:36]Somebody dropped him from one.
[29:37]Literally, it's a source of stress in my life.
[29:40]It should not be.
[29:41]But the Vikings are also starting up again,
[29:45]and I know Russell hates sports
[29:46]and never watches sports anymore,
[29:48]but I don't watch sports other than the Vikings.
[29:52]Every Sunday, yes.
[29:53]Hey, Matt, thanks for showing up.
[29:55]Thank you.
[29:55]I watched our fantasy football draft the other night.
[29:57]I showed up.
[29:58]Hey, that went nice and quick, guys.
[30:01]Good work.
[30:02]Rob was the slowest guy.
[30:03]It was literally everyone in the league, Matt,
[30:05]was on the Zoom call.
[30:07]We were all chatting.
[30:07]We were having a good time.
[30:08]Yeah, you know, when you schedule the draft
[30:12]like four days before you actually have the draft,
[30:15]I mean, it's not like anybody else
[30:16]has got anything else going on in their life.
[30:17]Oh, here we go.
[30:18]We should schedule it.
[30:18]Here we go.
[30:19]When does fantasy football start?
[30:21]I don't know.
[30:22]This just surprises.
[30:23]Every year, it just comes up on us.
[30:25]When should we have this draft?
[30:26]If only somebody would have reminded me
[30:28]like two or three weeks out.
[30:30]Yeah, or maybe like in July.
[30:32]Like, hey, are we going to do this?
[30:33]Maybe we should have set a date for the draft.
[30:35]Yeah, if only somebody would have done that.
[30:37]That's fine.
[30:39]Don't mind criticism.
[30:40]It doesn't bother me.
[30:40]Yeah, I got you.
[30:41]But the Vikings come in,
[30:43]so I'm trying to get...
[30:44]I want to say this, Matt.
[30:45]It was you, then not on the Zoom,
[30:46]and then somebody else in the league
[30:48]who we asked to get on the Zoom,
[30:49]and they informed us they don't have Zoom.
[30:51]It was the craziest thing I've ever heard in my life
[30:54]that they didn't have Zoom.
[30:55]I don't have...
[30:57]Which means you don't have the internet?
[30:59]Right.
[30:59]You don't have Zoom.
[31:01]I was like, the what-demic?
[31:03]Like, what?
[31:04]I mean, who doesn't have Zoom?
[31:06]COVID-19, huh?
[31:08]Like, who doesn't?
[31:09]It's craziness.
[31:11]Maybe they could have afforded Zoom
[31:13]if Rob would have paid them
[31:14]for their hotel in Vegas, Rob.
[31:15]Oh, my God.
[31:16]Yeah, there you go.
[31:18]It's another source of stress.
[31:20]Well, you could always...
[31:22]It's because he lived at the gym.
[31:23]Oh, I'm sorry.
[31:24]Okay, I'm sorry.
[31:24]I'm done, I'm done.
[31:25]Go ahead.
[31:26]I'm sorry, Matt.
[31:27]Go ahead.
[31:27]What we have learned
[31:29]is three things you don't do in the world, right?
[31:31]Yes.
[31:32]Yeah.
[31:33]You don't rip the cape off of Superman.
[31:36]No, no, no.
[31:37]True.
[31:37]You don't rip the mask off of Batman.
[31:40]No way.
[31:40]No, no.
[31:41]And you don't just never, ever, ever
[31:44]lend money to Jeff.
[31:46]Those are the three things you don't do in the world.
[31:48]You can't do it.
[31:49]You just can't do it.
[31:51]Three things you don't do in the world.
[31:52]Maybe peeing in the wind, too.
[31:55]3B.
[31:56]Yeah.
[31:58]So the Vikings are up,
[32:02]and I want three hours every week
[32:05]to set aside,
[32:07]and I'm trying to get my boys excited
[32:10]about watching the Vikings.
[32:11]So I'm doing everything I can to play up like,
[32:13]guys, the Vikings are playing the Packers this week.
[32:17]We have to celebrate.
[32:20]We have to get ready for the game.
[32:22]So I'm getting them excited about watching football.
[32:24]It's a party.
[32:25]Bob, you have a strong connection with football
[32:29]and your dad, right?
[32:30]But you guys used to go to the games and everything.
[32:32]Is that right?
[32:33]Oh, it's a huge part of what we talk about.
[32:36]Do your daughters watch football with you now?
[32:36]Do you watch football anymore?
[32:38]Or what's your Viking watching these days?
[32:40]I watch tons of football.
[32:41]I watch all the Vikings.
[32:42]I got to admit, since I've been putting five bucks on a game,
[32:45]I watch more sports than I used to.
[32:47]But my girls have tried watching with me,
[32:49]and it just hasn't taken.
[32:51]So I let it go.
[32:52]Yeah.
[32:52]By the boys, they're getting into it.
[32:55]They understand the hatred for the Packers.
[33:01]Yeah.
[33:01]And it's not real hatred.
[33:03]It's just sports hatred.
[33:05]Sports hatred.
[33:06]Which makes it even more fun.
[33:08]But having $5 on a game is even more fun than sports hatred, usually.
[33:13]Especially maybe if the friend advises you to take the Gophers to not cover.
[33:19]I didn't advise you.
[33:20]I didn't advise you.
[33:21]So, Matt, if you can convince your sons to be into football,
[33:25]that counts as a win.
[33:25]That counts as family time,
[33:26]which means you should have three hours of Matt time somewhere else in the day.
[33:29]You know what?
[33:31]Is that how it works?
[33:31]Russell, this...
[33:33]I agree with this.
[33:37]Yes.
[33:38]And I think we should just...
[33:39]We'll just implement that, okay?
[33:40]And if anybody has any problems,
[33:42]they can call into the Beck line and talk about it.
[33:43]Please do.
[33:45]Sweetie, I need some me time.
[33:49]This has been we time.
[33:50]Because we've been watching the Vikings.
[33:52]It's so good.
[33:55]But it used to be when they were younger,
[33:56]you know, I would take...
[33:58]It would be like four hours in the morning of going to the zoo
[34:02]and going to the Mall of America and all this stuff
[34:04]so that I could get three hours.
[34:06]But now, no, no, no, no, that's weak.
[34:07]Now I need to get that time back.
[34:09]You're right, Russell.
[34:10]I think, yeah.
[34:12]For me, the hardest part of parenting is making sure
[34:14]their devices are fully charged
[34:16]so they don't bug me about it.
[34:18]You know what I mean?
[34:18]Like, just plug it in the wall.
[34:21]You're sitting there anyway.
[34:21]Like, let's do it.
[34:22]That's good.
[34:24]Rob, rolling, going.
[34:25]How's it going with you?
[34:26]Whenever Rob does this, it worries me he's making something up.
[34:32]I don't want to talk about this,
[34:34]but it's what I've written down, so I have to.
[34:36]Oh, let's talk about it.
[34:37]Oh, okay, I'll tear it.
[34:37]Have you ever seen somebody, like, that has augmented breasts?
[34:42]Right?
[34:43]Speaking of the hoochie-coochie place,
[34:44]they have augmented breasts.
[34:45]I was too busy eating the tater tots.
[34:47]I wasn't paying attention to that.
[34:49]The breasts sometimes, you know,
[34:50]have you ever seen where they get so big,
[34:52]you're like, wow, that's kind of, it doesn't look right.
[34:54]You know, it's kind of strange.
[34:55]And you hate to say that.
[34:56]You hate to judge people.
[34:56]But I was thinking about this when I was walking the dog,
[34:59]and there's no reason that this would come into my mind
[35:01]while I'm walking the dog,
[35:01]that if men could do the same plastic surgery
[35:06]but change their penis size,
[35:08]it would be way, way worse.
[35:10]Like, the proportions would be so bad.
[35:13]People would just go crazy.
[35:14]I mean, if you could do plastic surgery
[35:16]to make your dick any size,
[35:17]you would make it ridiculously big every time, right?
[35:20]Like, crazy big.
[35:23]Like, you know,
[35:25]bodybuilders, like, impressed guys,
[35:27]women aren't that attracted to them
[35:28]because they're so big.
[35:29]That's what my penis would look like.
[35:31]I think it would look like a bodybuilder, but a penis.
[35:33]There's, like, veins popping out.
[35:35]So what would...
[35:36]God damn, Aaron.
[35:38]So would guys be judging other guys,
[35:40]like, with the size of their increase?
[35:42]You'd be looking at it and be like,
[35:43]oh, that's totally fake.
[35:44]And then...
[35:45]Yes.
[35:45]You would feel like the Aarons of the world
[35:48]who said they have a carving knife
[35:50]or whatever he called it the one time
[35:52]would look at it and be like,
[35:53]have no respect for the people that...
[35:55]They're calling him a penis.
[35:56]...that were artificially enhanced or what?
[35:59]Oh, 1,000%.
[36:01]I mean, here, wait a minute.
[36:02]I have so many...
[36:04]I mean, I have so many...
[36:05]No, I've always said...
[36:06]No, like, I love having a penis.
[36:07]I've always said, like,
[36:08]it's the greatest thing now.
[36:10]Like...
[36:10]That's one clip.
[36:11]Now, listen, here's the second one.
[36:12]I absolutely love my penis.
[36:15]Like, I wouldn't trade it for anyone else's penis.
[36:17]That's the second clip I have of him.
[36:18]Now, listen to this.
[36:19]Here's the third.
[36:20]I would compare it to my favorite chef's knife
[36:22]because I use it every day.
[36:23]I mean...
[36:25]And that's not even this one.
[36:28]That's what I'm going to start calling him a penis.
[36:29]That's a whole separate bit.
[36:30]I'm starting to think I have an obsession with something, okay?
[36:36]Or Rosie does.
[36:38]Rob, when you're playing those all together
[36:39]and then you're reorganizing it,
[36:41]so you have to have, like,
[36:42]an eight-minute period of your life some weekend
[36:44]where this is all you're thinking about, right?
[36:46]Yeah, I just go through and I'm like,
[36:48]oh, what's this one?
[36:48]Like, I'll be like, oh,
[36:49]I haven't played this one in a while.
[36:51]That's what I call my penis.
[36:52]You know, like...
[36:53]But I have to stay on top of it.
[36:55]It's tough.
[36:58]It's important, no.
[36:59]It's a hard job.
[37:00]Yeah.
[37:01]You could isolate it's hard there.
[37:05]There was a pause where you could isolate it's hard.
[37:08]Rob, what percentage of men do you think
[37:12]would take advantage of this enhancement surgery
[37:14]if it were an easier process?
[37:16]110%, because I'd go there twice.
[37:21]I'd be like,
[37:25]listen, these doctors in America,
[37:27]they don't want you to actually have freedoms.
[37:30]They want to limit the size of your penis.
[37:31]That's why I'm down here in Nicaragua
[37:33]getting the biggest penis I possibly can worldwide.
[37:35]I'm getting legal penis surgery.
[37:38]I'm getting that cement, like, injected in.
[37:40]Bigger, bigger, bigger.
[37:41]Let's go.
[37:42]It's...
[37:45]You need to carry around pencils when you're going...
[37:48]Exactly.
[37:49]I got to pencil it up when I'm going to the bathroom.
[37:50]I'm going to use...
[37:52]I'm going to have to use the kid's urinal.
[37:55]That's how big it is.
[37:56]Otherwise, it's going to be down there snaking that drain.
[37:58]The boner came at the Timberwolves game
[38:03]would be a completely different experience.
[38:05]Oh, my God.
[38:06]Right?
[38:06]They need to put the wide lens on.
[38:08]Zoom out.
[38:08]I mean, you'd see it.
[38:11]I'm just...
[38:11]They'd trip on it on the court.
[38:12]That's what I'm talking about.
[38:13]I'm just imagining all of the dozens of listeners that we have.
[38:19]And a lot of them are female.
[38:21]I don't think it's dozens.
[38:21]Just loving the section.
[38:22]Just really enjoying it.
[38:23]None of whom...
[38:25]None of whom have ever given feedback that we may or may not talk about Rob's genitalia too much.
[38:31]Well, that was just my mother.
[38:32]I was going to say, I apologize to Patty because she has actually called me on the phone personally
[38:36]and said, please stop talking about your penis.
[38:37]And I want to be clear.
[38:39]I wasn't talking about mine.
[38:40]I was talking about everyone's and a fake one of mine.
[38:43]So if you're mad at that, you're actually mad at yourself.
[38:45]So, like, Rob, what do you think would be the optimal, like, increase size?
[38:49]Are you talking like a 20% increase?
[38:51]A 50% increase?
[38:52]Like, what do you think would be the optimal increase?
[38:55]Let's see.
[38:55]20% of two.
[38:57]Is that 20%?
[38:59]That's tough.
[39:00]No, I don't know.
[39:03]I just think, I just think in general, wouldn't you just, like, best size?
[39:06]Honestly, I would probably double mine.
[39:08]And I'm not kidding.
[39:09]Double it.
[39:10]Two carving knives?
[39:14]Two carving knives.
[39:16]Like a fucking chainsaw.
[39:17]I mean, this is like a Boston and...
[39:20]What was that restaurant?
[39:21]Fuck, Rob.
[39:21]Pull this.
[39:22]Boston Market?
[39:23]This is like a Boston Market up in here.
[39:24]There's...
[39:25]There's multiple carving knives everywhere.
[39:26]My nickname would be Arby's.
[39:30]We have the meat.
[39:33]And Arby's would be for Rob's boner.
[39:35]So a lot of people...
[39:37]Arby's.
[39:38]I don't feel like there would be this moment of pride either, Rob, when you would take your pants off.
[39:42]I mean, I know you said you don't, you normally didn't do that.
[39:45]It would take a while for you to get to that point with the lady.
[39:47]Oh my God, I forgot I had said that.
[39:49]But, but like, I don't think you would have any sort of pride in saying, like, it's all natural, right?
[39:54]Like, like...
[39:55]No.
[39:55]No.
[39:56]No.
[39:57]This would be the first thing I'd tell him.
[39:59]It'd be like, hey, I'm like RoboCop down there.
[40:02]Do you think if people saw your enhancement, they didn't know that it was enhancement?
[40:10]They'd start looking at your dad a little different?
[40:12]That's all I think about.
[40:18]I also wonder if they wouldn't call him Little Rosie anymore, Matt, if they would have those enhancements.
[40:25]That's true.
[40:27]It would be like that balloon bit from Pee Wee, but it would just be me taking it out through the fly.
[40:32]Okay.
[40:36]We're yours, Ed's, mine, Ben's, right?
[40:41]Milton Berle style.
[40:46]That's right.
[40:47]Aaron, actually, we have run out of time, so we don't have time to talk about the album.
[40:53]Okay, Aaron, roll and go.
[40:55]How's it going with you?
[40:55]Well, quick update.
[40:57]I spend so much time wondering about what my rolling going's going to be.
[41:00]I think of, like, something that Rob's just like, if we could have penile implants, and here's my toothbrush.
[41:06]Look it.
[41:07]Here are my notes.
[41:08]Right here.
[41:09]If you guys could do penises plastic surgery like girls could do their boobs, we would all have way bigger freakier dicks than even the biggest boobs in girls.
[41:17]Helmet bag?
[41:19]Helmet bag is next week.
[41:20]Don't look at that.
[41:20]Don't look at the helmet bag.
[41:22]Oh, you got to separate that there.
[41:25]So don't tell me I'm not putting time into this podcast, okay?
[41:27]Because we had the nice fig song to open, I do have to give an update.
[41:31]Yeah, again?
[41:33]Yeah, I spoke with a very nice young gentleman today who wanted to sell me solar panels on my house.
[41:38]So we chatted for a bit in the backyard, and he said, oh, yeah, by the way, thank you for the figs.
[41:43]And I have never, I've met this guy once, but I've never given him some figs.
[41:49]And it turns out that my neighbor, to whom I gave some figs, gave the figs away.
[41:55]Oh, damn.
[41:55]They re-gifted your gift.
[41:58]They re-gifted my figs.
[41:59]We're done.
[42:01]We've been seriously on it.
[42:02]We're done.
[42:03]No one would complain.
[42:04]We're done.
[42:05]They re-gifted your fig gift?
[42:08]Yeah, they gave my figs to the solar panels.
[42:10]I mean, what's worse?
[42:11]Like me throwing them in the garbage or re-gifting it?
[42:14]Yeah, they re-gifted the figs.
[42:16]Hey, awesome figs.
[42:17]And not only that, they re-gifted it and said, listen, dude, these ain't my figs, okay?
[42:23]These are my neighbor's figs.
[42:24]Thanks.
[42:25]Thank you for them.
[42:25]Yeah.
[42:26]Well, what they probably did is, oh, you're selling panels?
[42:29]Well, here, have some figs.
[42:31]You take these with you on the road.
[42:32]And oh, by the way, that's the guy that gave them to me.
[42:33]Why don't you go over?
[42:34]I'm sure he needs some solar panels.
[42:35]He probably needs solar panels, too.
[42:36]Yeah, right.
[42:37]Yeah, he sent them right over to you.
[42:38]Aaron, so is this a door-to-door salesman?
[42:41]Because I came across this the other day where in the COVID world, there was no door-to-door
[42:45]people coming and saying, hey, can I take that tree out?
[42:47]Can I redo your roof?
[42:49]Can I do this?
[42:50]Can I do that?
[42:50]That stuff has started happening again.
[42:52]And I got to tell you, it pisses me off.
[42:55]No.
[42:55]I do not like people ringing doorbells.
[42:58]Like, I've become used to no one ringing doorbells.
[43:01]Matt, what do you think of this?
[43:02]Well, two things.
[43:04]One, a doorbell, there's two screws, okay?
[43:07]You unscrew the top.
[43:08]You remove it.
[43:09]You unscrew the bottom.
[43:10]Sounds like my month.
[43:11]There's two wires that go in.
[43:12]You disconnect those wires.
[43:13]Oh, boy.
[43:14]You shove those wires back in the wall.
[43:16]That is some needle-banding shit right there.
[43:18]Put that doorbell right down.
[43:18]People start digging the doorbell.
[43:19]They don't have it.
[43:20]So we did this to our doorbell when we had kids, right?
[43:22]Because people would come up and you'd forget that it was like nap time.
[43:25]And they'd ring the doorbell and it was the worst thing because all of a sudden your kids
[43:29]are going to wake up from the doorbell.
[43:30]So we just disconnected it.
[43:31]Two, I have found it's very easy, very, very easy to just not answer the door.
[43:37]Yeah.
[43:37]Even if we are sitting right in the window and they're right there.
[43:39]I've done that about 70% of the time.
[43:41]But I've given in a few times.
[43:41]I'm watching TV and I can see them walk up.
[43:43]It's just, oh, you know what?
[43:45]I'm not going to answer the door.
[43:46]And they can see you.
[43:47]They can see you.
[43:47]Oh, yeah, for sure.
[43:49]And you're not answering the door.
[43:50]No.
[43:51]You're the strongest man I know.
[43:53]I'm with Matt.
[43:54]Like, I can see the door.
[43:55]I can see, like, the window of my door right through there.
[43:57]And so if I'm sitting there, they can see me sitting here.
[43:59]And I've held strong a few times, but I've also went and answered it a few times.
[44:03]One of the last times I answered it, they were like, I'm putting together a real estate
[44:09]empire and I'm looking to buy houses.
[44:11]Can I make it?
[44:12]Can I, like, would you be willing to sell your house?
[44:14]And I said, what's your offer?
[44:15]And they go, well, I'd have to look at the house first.
[44:17]And I said, you don't have an offer for me?
[44:19]Then I'm not interested.
[44:20]And he's like, oh, I would need to look at the house.
[44:23]I'm like, you're going to come to me and say,
[44:25]you want to buy my house?
[44:25]You better have a number down, you asshole.
[44:27]And if you don't, keep walking.
[44:29]And Russell was wearing his cowboy hat.
[44:32]So the guy was like, holy shit, this guy's a real man.
[44:35]I'll never be able to buy this house.
[44:37]That was kind of shitty.
[44:39]He's like, I'll never be able to afford this house.
[44:42]Look how rich this guy is.
[44:44]He looks like fucking.
[44:44]And then him and I grabbed some figs and we went out boogie boarding together
[44:51]after.
[44:51]This is one great thing about living in an apartment.
[44:53]If anyone, when somebody,
[44:55]brings my doorbell, I yell, come in because I know it's like my kid's friends.
[44:59]Nobody else is coming up and ringing my doorbell ever.
[45:02]They all get stopped at the front desk.
[45:03]Nobody can say, do any of that stuff.
[45:05]Nobody.
[45:05]It rules.
[45:07]It is awesome.
[45:08]Having a person who lives in your building and then says,
[45:11]hi, and buy it to you every day and collects all your packages.
[45:13]It's the best.
[45:14]I love it.
[45:14]Aaron, you, did you buy the solar panels from this guy?
[45:17]Can I just say, before you answer that, Aaron, before you answer that,
[45:20]imagine you're the solar panel guy, right?
[45:25]You stopped by to sell solar panel.
[45:26]Aaron then talks to you for 15 minutes and I, and I'm trying to be nice to Aaron.
[45:30]I really am.
[45:31]Just imagine that you're now talking to Aaron for 15 minutes about God knows what
[45:35]he's putting out all his figs.
[45:36]He's pointing.
[45:37]What did you, can you tell me what you talked about?
[45:39]Yeah, we talked about the spike ball.
[45:40]Uh, okay.
[45:42]Okay.
[45:42]Yeah.
[45:42]Okay.
[45:43]That's it.
[45:44]The thing, everybody thinks I mean, they really do.
[45:51]They're like, oh, you're so mean to Aaron was saying that to me.
[45:53]She's like, oh, you have these bits where you're.
[45:55]Mean.
[45:55]Mean to Aaron.
[45:55]You guys don't understand.
[45:57]I'm right.
[45:58]I know Aaron so well.
[46:00]When I said that he talked to the guy and he talked about spike ball.
[46:02]Yeah.
[46:03]Cause we got the spike ball net in the backyard and he was like, oh yeah, I love a spike ball.
[46:06]We play it all the time.
[46:07]I'm in charge of the, uh, like team building at the office.
[46:10]So we play a little spike ball.
[46:12]You let this guy come into the backyard.
[46:13]Yeah.
[46:14]He's very, very nice kid.
[46:17]Russell.
[46:17]What do you think of that?
[46:18]He knows the entire neighborhood.
[46:19]Have you not, have you not seen home alone?
[46:25]It's a wet bandit, Aaron.
[46:27]So Aaron, if you, if you like windows in the back.
[46:31]Yeah.
[46:31]Oh yeah.
[46:32]That one doesn't have a lock on it.
[46:33]Does it serve?
[46:34]Very interesting.
[46:35]Do you like to jack off?
[46:36]Hmm.
[46:37]If you engage him in real conversation for more than two to three minutes, I would say
[46:43]you're obligated to buy a solar panel from him.
[46:45]Oh God.
[46:46]I think that's, I mean, he's coming back on Tuesday to give me the real proposal.
[46:49]So I think that's where we're at.
[46:50]Wow.
[46:50]If he comes, if he comes back wearing a spike ball Jersey, look out.
[46:54]Yeah.
[46:55]He's not selling solar panels.
[46:56]So Aaron, do you think you're just kind of an easy mark for these door-to-door salesmen?
[47:02]Are there door-to-door people where you're like, oh, I'm just not interested in this
[47:05]moving along and you'd be a jerk like I would be, or do you think there's just more
[47:09]conversation about a product that might be useful?
[47:11]This is the only one.
[47:12]And in this case, it is a product that might be useful.
[47:14]And then it's this one company that has the whole neighborhood covered.
[47:17]So as soon as they see a house sold, they like go in and say like, oh, Hey, or they
[47:21]walk down the street and say like, oh, that's the one house on the street that doesn't have
[47:24]solar panels.
[47:25]I'm going to go knock on their door.
[47:26]What is the sale?
[47:27]You know, that like, what is it?
[47:29]They have to tell you, like, it's going to take you 13.7 years to make up the cost of
[47:35]this by the amount of energy you're saving.
[47:37]Like there has to be something that they tell you, right?
[47:40]Before and after we finish the podcast.
[47:41]Sir, this is worth 32 spike ball kits.
[47:44]The sale is you're going to end up paying, you know, 10 to 20% less than your current
[47:51]electric bill.
[47:52]And there's no money out of pocket because it's all fine.
[47:55]It's all financed or whatever.
[47:55]And then you also get a big tax credit.
[47:57]That's the, that's the.
[47:58]Oh, they know just where it is.
[48:00]All those things gave me a big dad boner.
[48:02]I liked all those.
[48:03]Right.
[48:03]Yeah.
[48:03]That was great.
[48:04]How do you pass up on that?
[48:05]And when I say big, look how big, I mean, I've gotten, I went to Nicaragua.
[48:08]Double the size.
[48:10]Six.
[48:11]Is it a double if you're a shower and a grower?
[48:15]Does it double everything or is it only double part?
[48:17]I was going to ask that question too.
[48:18]And then I left it off.
[48:19]Rob.
[48:20]Guys, we're talking about air and solar panels.
[48:24]What are we doing?
[48:25]No, we wanted to ask if it doubles everything or does it double every size
[48:29]or just at certain points?
[48:30]I think it would have to, right?
[48:31]Unless it's like that peewee's balloon where it just gets bigger when you
[48:34]blow it up.
[48:35]I don't.
[48:35]You'd have to double both.
[48:37]You think so?
[48:38]I think so.
[48:39]So here's the thing.
[48:42]Aaron will always buy stuff sold door to door.
[48:45]He can't help it.
[48:46]Aaron is a big sweetie.
[48:47]He's the sweetest guy I know.
[48:48]And I'm just going to prove it with this question.
[48:50]Aaron.
[48:51]Okay.
[48:52]If somebody rang your doorbell and you
[48:55]know they saw you through the window,
[48:56]could you possibly sit there and not answer the door?
[48:58]I would probably answer the door.
[49:00]Yeah.
[49:01]I would probably answer the door.
[49:02]You would do it a hundred percent of the time.
[49:04]Yeah.
[49:04]If I knew they saw me, I'd probably.
[49:06]Eye contact.
[49:07]I'm talking eye contact.
[49:08]They look in, you look at them.
[49:09]It's eye contact is the worst.
[49:11]Yeah.
[49:11]No, then I'd answer the door.
[49:12]Yeah.
[49:13]Then I would answer the door.
[49:14]Seriously.
[49:15]The guy could have at least had an offer for me though.
[49:17]You can't come to my house to read the doorbell.
[49:18]You can't just show up with no number.
[49:20]Even low ball it.
[49:21]He's like, Hey, did that rich guy with the cowboy hat buy a,
[49:24]did he sell you his house?
[49:26]And the guy's like, no, I rang the doorbell.
[49:28]He's in there eating a giant cinnamon roll.
[49:31]He looks at me, takes the last bite, does not answer the door.
[49:35]It was the craziest thing I've ever seen.
[49:37]He keeps talking about the hoochie coochie in there.
[49:40]And then I went next door.
[49:41]And I went next door to Matt's house.
[49:44]He's watching this Pee Wee Herman balloon video over and over and over,
[49:47]not answering the door.
[49:48]Cannot help me.
[49:49]But see, here's the thing.
[49:50]It goes quicker, right?
[49:51]If they know that, you know, that they know that, you know,
[49:54]that they're there and then they say, Oh, he knows I'm here.
[49:57]He's not answering the door.
[49:58]Then they get out even faster.
[49:59]And if they're hanging around, maybe somebody else,
[50:02]they go to the other door.
[50:03]Cause some of us have a two doors with two doorbell on each side.
[50:08]You have a two door style house.
[50:09]So then they're like, well, maybe they didn't hear that doorbell.
[50:11]I'm going to go to the side door and ring that doorbell.
[50:13]He comes by, he sees Russell unscrew the doorbell.
[50:19]And he's like, wait a minute.
[50:24]So Matt, after you did that, did you have so much Halloween candy?
[50:30]Cause you're like, Hey, nobody's coming for Halloween.
[50:33]I haven't heard the doorbell once.
[50:34]No.
[50:35]I mean, we just, I mean, usually we're taking the kids out.
[50:38]So we're not there for Halloween anyway.
[50:40]So, you know, we do the old bowl thing and then leave the sign.
[50:43]Only take one, please.
[50:44]Cause then we know it's just going to be cleared out anyways.
[50:46]First Richfield kid that walks by there is taking that whole bucket.
[50:49]Exactly.
[50:50]But we still put out the sign just for the ironical nature.
[50:54]So we are talking about the 1940 74 court and spark by Joni Mitchell.
[51:00]And basically this is Joni Mitchell's sixth album.
[51:03]Okay.
[51:04]Since she made her first album in 1968,
[51:07]she released an album every year until 1973.
[51:10]It's the first year where she really took a break.
[51:12]And basically what happens is she kind of sat down.
[51:14]She, she said, you know, I've been doing this.
[51:16]I've been going so hard making this folk music.
[51:18]We heard blue that I want to start making kind of new music,
[51:24]but for the stuff that I'm interested in.
[51:25]And Aaron, you've mentioned it before.
[51:27]Guess what?
[51:28]Joni Mitchell got interested in that influenced this album.
[51:30]Jazz is 100% jazz.
[51:35]Is that real this time, Aaron or not?
[51:38]I think it is real this time.
[51:39]Yeah.
[51:39]I mean,
[51:40]she ends up recording an album with Charles Mingus later in her life.
[51:42]Yeah.
[51:43]Mingus, Mingus, Mingus.
[51:44]Yeah.
[51:46]We're so fucking smart.
[51:48]I think the album might be called Mingus.
[51:50]Yeah.
[51:50]I, um,
[51:52]Oh shit.
[51:53]What was that?
[51:54]What was I talking about?
[51:54]I think here's the problem.
[51:55]When you listen to the last couple of songs on this album,
[51:57]I think she's listening to shitty jazz.
[52:00]Right.
[52:00]She's listening to bad jazz.
[52:02]She's like going to the junior high jazz band and be like,
[52:04]God damn, I love jazz.
[52:05]I got to put this thing in my album.
[52:06]Yeah.
[52:07]There's some stuff at the end that it's not.
[52:08]I have strong opinions about the end of this album.
[52:10]Yeah.
[52:10]Not my favorite stuff either.
[52:11]This album.
[52:13]I, so basically,
[52:15]but this album is Joni Mitchell's most successful album by far.
[52:19]Higher than blue.
[52:20]This reached number two on the charts behind,
[52:24]uh,
[52:24]the late great Olivia Newton,
[52:25]John,
[52:25]and it was there for four album,
[52:28]four weeks.
[52:29]And basically this album,
[52:31]when we're talking,
[52:32]I don't mean to interrupt you,
[52:34]but I,
[52:34]I heard Olivia Newton.
[52:36]John was just splooting.
[52:37]She was not.
[52:38]Splooting.
[52:42]Is that right,
[52:44]Matt?
[52:44]Splooting.
[52:44]That was like last week.
[52:47]I don't remember back that far.
[52:48]I.
[52:49]Sorry.
[52:50]This show is so good.
[52:54]We're so smart.
[52:54]Squirrels.
[52:57]They're hot.
[52:57]So court and spark nominated for album of the year.
[53:01]Help me rec nominated for both record of the year and best female pop vocal
[53:05]performance.
[53:06]Joni Mitchell won a Grammy for,
[53:09]uh,
[53:10]best arrangement and accompanied vocals on this.
[53:12]This was up for four different Grammys for most successful album.
[53:15]It's it's,
[53:17]it's just wild.
[53:17]So here's the deal.
[53:18]Let's get into court and spark and Aaron,
[53:22]Aaron,
[53:23]Aaron,
[53:24]just like with a book.
[53:24]First thing you see.
[53:25]It's the titular track.
[53:27]Oh,
[53:27]open it up.
[53:29]We haven't had one of these in a while.
[53:30]Open it up.
[53:30]Let's see them.
[53:31]See them titular tracks.
[53:32]You think,
[53:36]you think that's definitely piano forward on a lot of these,
[53:39]right?
[53:39]Yeah.
[53:40]And again,
[53:44]Joni Mitchell's,
[53:45]we talked about it two weeks ago,
[53:46]playing with phrases,
[53:47]right?
[53:48]Like being able to take a phrase,
[53:49]twist it.
[53:50]I can tell you doing a parody song that he's,
[53:53]it's almost impossible.
[53:54]Oh yeah.
[53:54]She's all the way in her bag on this.
[53:56]And yeah,
[53:57]you can hear,
[53:57]it's fun to hear this just two weeks after Fiona Apple,
[53:59]cause you can hear the action.
[54:01]Totally.
[54:02]And,
[54:02]and,
[54:02]and,
[54:02]and in these songs,
[54:04]these early songs,
[54:04]I mean,
[54:05]she is bringing it.
[54:07]These are great songs.
[54:08]She's got the,
[54:08]she's got the piano,
[54:09]but now she's also adding,
[54:10]you could hear there like the steel guitar,
[54:12]right?
[54:13]We're going to hear more horns and strings.
[54:15]Isn't,
[54:15]isn't Graham Nash or David Crosby.
[54:18]Aren't they all on this,
[54:19]this record?
[54:19]Yep.
[54:19]Crosby and Nash.
[54:21]I don't see.
[54:22]No,
[54:23]Steven stills.
[54:24]No,
[54:24]he's always Robbie Robertson from the band.
[54:27]Oh yeah.
[54:27]Right.
[54:28]A bunch of players on here.
[54:29]And then we're,
[54:30]I was going to get to it later,
[54:31]but when we get to the final song is the background voices are.
[54:35]No,
[54:35]no,
[54:36]no.
[54:36]Yeah.
[54:37]Oh,
[54:37]cut it out.
[54:39]So in earlier this year,
[54:41]Joni Mitchell in 2022 was honored as music cares person of the year.
[54:45]And there was a concert honoring Joni Mitchell for this and St.
[54:49]Vincent.
[54:50]Oh,
[54:52]a band called St.
[54:53]Vincent,
[54:53]actually played court and spark at the,
[54:55]the concert honoring Joni Mitchell at this music cares.
[54:58]Turns out there was another musician that was also honoring Joni Mitchell at
[55:02]this.
[55:03]It was back back playing at every thing for Joni Mitchell.
[55:07]And he played a song called jungle line from his thing of his thing of
[55:12]summer lawns from 1975 recordings.
[55:15]Not great,
[55:16]but Beck is honoring Joni Mitchell here.
[55:18]Wow.
[55:19]He shows up to honor everybody.
[55:20]I believe he honored Lou Reed last time.
[55:23]If that didn't get cut.
[55:24]And this week he's honoring Joni Mitchell.
[55:26]So when it comes to honoring Joni Mitchell as the music cares person of the
[55:30]year,
[55:31]who did it better,
[55:31]Beck did it better.
[55:33]Yes,
[55:34]he did.
[55:35]This recording is a wild one.
[55:37]Russell.
[55:38]Trust me.
[55:38]I tried hard.
[55:39]I looked at Vimeo on the ones you,
[55:41]you mock us for Rob and I couldn't find a better one.
[55:44]That's wow.
[55:45]Now probably one of the most popular songs off this album.
[55:48]Help me.
[55:49]She got LA,
[55:50]LA express is the backup band.
[55:53]This album.
[55:54]So quiet.
[55:54]This is Joni Mitchell.
[55:57]This is Joni Mitchell's only top 10 hit in her career.
[56:04]Yup.
[56:04]Is this the Laurel Canyon sound?
[56:07]Have we discussed that at all?
[56:09]Yeah,
[56:10]I think definitely.
[56:11]I might,
[56:12]we might've discussed it two years ago.
[56:13]Yeah.
[56:14]Okay.
[56:14]There's,
[56:15]there's zero chance.
[56:16]There's any people who listened to episode three that are still listening.
[56:19]No chance.
[56:20]What's the Laurel Canyon sound.
[56:23]I heard.
[56:23]So I know it's kind of this laid back,
[56:26]you know,
[56:27]groove sort of lush sounds.
[56:29]And I don't honestly know.
[56:30]I think it's relates to an actual geographical place in Los Angeles,
[56:34]right?
[56:34]Yeah.
[56:35]Laurel Canyon.
[56:36]Yeah.
[56:36]Where all those guys live across.
[56:37]We still as national young.
[56:38]Right.
[56:39]The birds.
[56:40]Matt,
[56:42]would you say that was noodling or not?
[56:43]No,
[56:45]not,
[56:45]not,
[56:46]not too much.
[56:47]I mean,
[56:48]noodling is just going up and down,
[56:49]you know,
[56:51]like what fish does.
[56:53]I can't stand fish bunch of noodlers.
[56:55]Or it's that method of catching catfish with your fingers.
[57:00]Yeah.
[57:00]I was going to say,
[57:01]it sounds like something we do down on the Chattahoochee for sure.
[57:03]Like we're down there noodling like crazy.
[57:05]I think it can be a lot of different extremities that you can be putting in
[57:08]those little,
[57:09]it's true.
[57:09]Especially if you double it and then you can really,
[57:11]especially if they're augmented,
[57:12]right?
[57:12]Why is that guy so proud?
[57:20]Look at his face.
[57:20]He's like,
[57:21]ah,
[57:21]yes.
[57:22]I'm just in all the way.
[57:24]You know how sometimes I'm going to edit this out,
[57:27]but you know how sometimes you see somebody like just leaning against the
[57:29]pool and they're just relaxing and there's a big smile on their face.
[57:31]I picture me doing that,
[57:33]but I've got my dick in a noodling hole.
[57:35]There's some catfish just going down on it.
[57:37]I'm like,
[57:37]like,
[57:41]wow,
[57:41]that guy's really relaxing over there in the white cowboy hat and life jacket.
[57:44]I'm just like,
[57:45]he gets out of the pool.
[57:46]There's a fucking big catfish just hanging on.
[57:48]Oh my God.
[57:51]The catfish choked.
[57:52]To death.
[57:53]He's like,
[57:54]well,
[57:54]I promised to buy the catfish breakfast.
[57:55]I had to bring it with me.
[57:56]Like I said,
[57:57]brunch,
[57:58]brunch,
[57:58]brunch.
[57:59]Wait,
[58:01]I didn't order this more cinnamon roll.
[58:02]What's all this marshmallow sauce on here?
[58:04]What?
[58:05]All the way.
[58:07]A few weeks ago,
[58:08]Aaron had to work.
[58:09]Robbie said,
[58:10]he goes,
[58:10]you didn't need to make that joke.
[58:13]We understood what joke you were making.
[58:15]Aaron scolded Rob for like explaining a dirty joke.
[58:18]That didn't need to be explained.
[58:20]Taziki looked like cum.
[58:21]That was the joke.
[58:22]This is a song about that old Vikings quarterback,
[58:26]Freeman in Paris.
[58:28]There was probably a Morgan Freeman joke.
[58:34]A little pace to it,
[58:34]a little tempo.
[58:35]I love that.
[58:36]It's got a groove.
[58:37]I loved,
[58:39]loved,
[58:39]loved the first three fourths of this album.
[58:41]Yes.
[58:42]This is a fantastic song.
[58:45]I'm trying to figure out,
[58:47]she's,
[58:48]I mean,
[58:48]she's Canadian.
[58:49]Right.
[58:49]Yeah.
[58:49]There's this other band,
[58:50]Tragically Hip.
[58:52]And there's,
[58:52]you know,
[58:53]that we've talked about a few times that it's like universally,
[58:56]well,
[58:56]not universally country of Canada loves the Tragically Hip.
[59:00]And there's a few other bands like this,
[59:03]that it's like,
[59:04]they have this weird rhythm about how they produce their songs and write
[59:08]their songs.
[59:08]And I'm trying to figure out if it's Canadian because they talk just a
[59:12]little bit different.
[59:13]And so they've got this different rhythm or what it is,
[59:15]but like,
[59:15]she's got the same thing that the Tragically Hip have,
[59:18]where it's like,
[59:19]I know nobody else does these rhythms like this.
[59:22]And comes in and out and puts things together like that.
[59:25]I don't know.
[59:25]So I got to do a little deeper.
[59:27]I mean,
[59:28]Barenaked Ladies kind of does that too.
[59:30]I mean,
[59:30]they're like more pop,
[59:31]but they kind of do this like longer phrases and off kilter kind of.
[59:35]It sounds like we might need to do a Canadian Mount Rushmore.
[59:39]You know who would be on that Mount Rushmore?
[59:42]There should be more Rush on there.
[59:44]For sure.
[59:44]Not Drake.
[59:46]If you don't think that's,
[59:47]if you don't get that joke,
[59:48]get the fuck out of here.
[59:49]Oh,
[59:50]what a rush.
[59:52]But the song is about David Geffen.
[59:56]That is a good way to get your songs played,
[59:58]isn't it?
[59:58]When you write songs about the guys who are like running the studios or
[60:02]whatever.
[60:02]Yeah.
[60:02]I mean,
[60:03]it's brilliant.
[60:04]It's like,
[60:04]it's like,
[60:06]I met the most beautiful man in the world.
[60:09]He had a supersized dong,
[60:12]Jeff Bezos.
[60:13]You,
[60:14]I love you Jeff Bezos.
[60:16]Like you just get that song published.
[60:18]It'd be no big deal.
[60:18]I think it's cool that you're so cool.
[60:22]Suddenly jacked when you got rich.
[60:24]You're so muscular now.
[60:25]That's not weird at all.
[60:27]Okay.
[60:27]Nevermind.
[60:27]Jeff Bezos.
[60:28]Have you seen him before and after where now he's like super jacked.
[60:31]Right.
[60:31]It's probably got all the time in the world.
[60:34]It's.
[60:34]Oh yeah.
[60:35]That's what it is.
[60:36]Time.
[60:36]Love it.
[60:38]Drugs.
[60:38]Yeah.
[60:39]People.
[60:39]Aaron said the Aaron LLC.
[60:41]Enhancement.
[60:45]Aaron.
[60:45]Enhancement.
[60:46]He's got low T Aaron.
[60:48]He needs it.
[60:49]I love the guitar strumming on this.
[60:52]I spent a lot of time reading about guitar strumming and what a strum
[60:55]consisted of.
[60:56]We don't need to go into detail,
[60:58]but I just love the guitar on this one at the beginning.
[61:00]You don't want to go into just a little detail.
[61:03]Russell,
[61:03]but what a sperm is.
[61:04]I got deleted.
[61:05]Cause I got a different list coming later.
[61:07]Oh my God.
[61:08]So good.
[61:08]Same situation.
[61:12]So this is not the Aerosmith song.
[61:18]I was,
[61:21]I was fearing nudely.
[61:22]This felt a little doodling to me,
[61:24]but it does pick up steam in the second half.
[61:28]And she's an amazing singer, Aaron.
[61:32]I don't know if we've talked about her before,
[61:33]but like,
[61:34]what do you think of Joni Mitchell as a singer,
[61:36]what her vocal range and what she does vocally?
[61:38]I mean,
[61:39]100% unique.
[61:40]You can't sing along with her.
[61:42]No,
[61:43]you can't predict where she's going to go with her melodies.
[61:47]Yeah.
[61:47]Totally unique.
[61:48]You could,
[61:49]you could play any of her songs I've never heard before.
[61:52]And I could tell it's Joni Mitchell.
[61:53]Like it's that kind of voice.
[61:55]It's a Bob Dylan level.
[61:56]You know,
[61:58]guys like Bob Dylan.
[61:59]Who else?
[62:00]Like a Neil Young,
[62:01]a Neil Young,
[62:02]you know,
[62:03]as soon as you hear Neil Young,
[62:04]a Jacob Dylan.
[62:05]I mean,
[62:05]you know,
[62:06]there's just so many voices.
[62:07]I got an issue with apology about that.
[62:08]I last week or two weeks ago said that that wall flowers record sucks.
[62:12]It.
[62:12]What?
[62:13]Matt called me out on it.
[62:15]And it definitely does not suck.
[62:17]Matt sat up and looked at,
[62:18]he's looking at you at the camera.
[62:20]Like he can't believe he said that.
[62:21]But then the next day,
[62:22]you were like the first three out of four songs on that are bangers.
[62:25]I listened to the whole album and it fucking rocks.
[62:27]I was completely.
[62:28]Yeah.
[62:28]I was like,
[62:29]I thought it affected a better apology.
[62:31]A hundred percent.
[62:32]The Michigan apology.
[62:33]Yeah.
[62:33]I was absolutely wrong.
[62:34]That wall flowers record still rules.
[62:36]Now here's where this is going to get weird.
[62:38]I was thinking about what's this.
[62:41]Here's where it gets.
[62:45]Everyone pause.
[62:47]Now we're talking about our augmented wiener getting sucked.
[62:50]I'm just going to.
[62:52]Matt made that really real.
[62:56]Earlier it was fun.
[62:58]When Matt put it into actual terms, though, I don't want to deal with it.
[63:01]Made me feel weird in a tingly way.
[63:04]Here's the thing.
[63:07]I think we should do a no interrupting policy because I was just about to talk about stuff and you guys really interrupted me.
[63:12]I heard my feelings.
[63:15]It's rude.
[63:15]Oh, contraire, mon frere.
[63:19]Earlier we were talking about the Laurel Canyon sound and I had watched a documentary where they talked about it.
[63:24]And I'm like, God, what was the name of the documentary?
[63:26]It's not, I can't remember.
[63:27]And you know who directed it?
[63:29]Who produced it?
[63:30]Jacob Dillon.
[63:31]We talked about this on episode 23.
[63:34]Echo in the Canyon.
[63:35]And you know who one of the main guys who's there talking to them about the Laurel sound, Russell?
[63:40]Probably David Geffen.
[63:41]Nope.
[63:42]Beck.
[63:43]Beck did it.
[63:44]When you're talking about, watch Echo in the Canyon.
[63:47]Beck is front and center along with Fiona.
[63:49]Fiona Apple's there.
[63:50]I mean, it's just like this whole podcast is summed up.
[63:54]Plus they do that cool thing where they keep interviewing Brian Wilson and it makes you feel awkward after a while.
[63:58]Love it.
[63:58]It's my favorite thing.
[63:59]Okay.
[64:00]That's getting edited out because it's mean, but it's true.
[64:02]I'm going to say this right now.
[64:03]I was going to say.
[64:04]These Brian Wilson documentaries are elder abuse.
[64:07]It's just these people who want to make a documentary.
[64:09]They grab him.
[64:10]It's terrible.
[64:11]Okay.
[64:12]Now let's think funny things.
[64:14]Here we go.
[64:14]Ready?
[64:14]And remember my Josh Freeman joke earlier.
[64:17]Oregon Freeman.
[64:19]Car on a hill.
[64:20]Car on a hill.
[64:20]I knew, you know, in high school, I knew somebody named Karen Hill, but car on a hill.
[64:24]Please stop the podcast.
[64:27]I'm begging you.
[64:27]Let's not do this anymore.
[64:28]We've had enough problems with cars on hills in this between the four of us over the last six months, haven't we?
[64:33]Karen flushed all the drugs down the toilet.
[64:38]Oh, yeah, you're right.
[64:38]Hank Hill needed that, you know, after he got busted.
[64:42]I was reading that this song was about Jackson Brown cheated on her.
[64:46]Did you guys know that this was, that's what this is about?
[64:48]I didn't even know.
[64:48]No.
[64:49]But I didn't know they were together.
[64:50]Man.
[64:51]She was with everybody.
[64:53]We figured that out in the first episode.
[64:55]Yeah.
[64:55]So it turns out this is about Jackson Brown cheating on her.
[64:58]And I thought we could do a list tonight about the best songs ever that celebrate cheating.
[65:03]Celebrate?
[65:04]Or discuss cheating.
[65:06]All right.
[65:07]I thought we maybe had done this one before, but then I realized we did.
[65:13]We did the best songs about one night stands before.
[65:16]So this is different.
[65:17]All right.
[65:18]This is about cheating.
[65:19]Russell, I'm just going to say this.
[65:20]If you come home and your roommate is playing a song celebrating cheating, that's a red flag.
[65:24]Cheating is great.
[65:27]I love to cheat.
[65:28]It is great.
[65:29]You're like, wait, what is this song?
[65:30]I don't know.
[65:31]My roommate ate all the cinnamon rolls, so I ran out of it.
[65:34]Yeah.
[65:34]I'll tell him it was the Peloton.
[65:36]We've heard once before.
[65:37]Remember we did Marvin's Room by Drake.
[65:40]We did Amy Winehouse, You Know I'm No Good.
[65:42]We talked about Timberlake before.
[65:44]We've talked Taylor Swift.
[65:45]We've talked You Ought to Know by Alanis.
[65:47]So all these we've already discussed.
[65:49]I'm not on the list.
[65:50]Get them out.
[65:50]But the first one is I was going to do the Marvin Gaye version, but we were talking about Pee Wee's Big Adventure.
[65:56]And I believe Pee Wee at one point featured the California Raisins.
[65:59]So we're going to do the 1987 version of the California Raisins doing Heard It Through the Grapevine.
[66:05]This is about cheating.
[66:06]Am I right?
[66:07]Yeah.
[66:08]The best version of this song.
[66:10]No.
[66:11]Yep.
[66:13]That's what Aaron said.
[66:13]No.
[66:14]This was written by Norman Whitfield.
[66:19]Who wrote Papa was a Rolling Stone.
[66:20]Ain't too proud to beg.
[66:21]And just my imagination.
[66:23]Amazing songwriter.
[66:24]I don't know if you know more about him or not, but I was like, damn, that's a lot.
[66:28]That's a lineup.
[66:29]Yeah.
[66:30]He would have been one of the Motown, you know, hit makers.
[66:32]Right.
[66:32]I don't know much more about him, but that's incredible.
[66:36]I know.
[66:37]I have to say when we were listening to the California Raisins clip, I can picture the
[66:41]raisin that was singing that in my head.
[66:43]Yeah.
[66:43]I when I watch California Raisins, I used to be like, this is the fucking raisin.
[66:48]This is the fucking future.
[66:49]In the future, every show is going to be like the California Raisins, right?
[66:52]This is the yeah, is the craziest thing I've ever seen.
[66:54]And then to have celebrity deathmatch after that on MTV.
[66:57]I was like, I was fucking right.
[66:59]This is great.
[67:00]I love claymation.
[67:01]The lead singer from the California Raisins was a guy named Buddy Miles.
[67:04]He was also a member of a band that played a lot with Jimi Hendrix.
[67:08]So we listen to a lot of Jimi Hendrix stuff.
[67:10]This Buddy Miles was the lead singer for the California Raisins.
[67:13]That's wild.
[67:14]Yeah.
[67:15]He played drums in the band of gypsies.
[67:17]And then he had his.
[67:18]His own hit went down by the river.
[67:19]Back in the old days, we used to have Johnny Cash, Bob Hope and Steve Jobs and Claymation.
[67:25]Yes.
[67:26]And now we've got no hope, no money, no cash and no jobs.
[67:31]And Clay Aiken.
[67:33]I didn't know Buddy Miles was.
[67:38]He was like the funk drummer for Jimi.
[67:41]I did not know he was a California Raisin.
[67:42]Aaron's trying so hard to get this back on the rails.
[67:44]Aaron, I love you.
[67:45]Next song on the list, Rob, I'm going to warn you.
[67:47]I know you've had problems.
[67:48]But the next song on the list is TLC from Crazy Sexy Cool 1995.
[67:53]It's Creep.
[67:54]Oh, can I just tell you this?
[67:56]Oh, it's so good.
[67:57]I got aroused when I opened your email.
[68:00]And that barely ever happens with you, Russell.
[68:03]My understanding is this essentially is like, hey, she found out that he's cheating.
[68:08]And so what do you do?
[68:10]What better way to get back at him?
[68:12]You go cheat yourself, right?
[68:14]What do you guys think?
[68:14]You get cheated on.
[68:16]You got to cheat back.
[68:17]Don't you guys think?
[68:17]No.
[68:18]You take the high ground.
[68:19]You let them hang out in the gutter.
[68:22]Yeah, make them beg.
[68:23]You take the high road, Russell.
[68:23]Make them beg.
[68:24]You know what, man?
[68:25]It's funny you say that.
[68:26]Put milk in a bowl and make them drink out of it, man.
[68:28]I agree with you.
[68:28]Is it Left Eye?
[68:29]Is one of the members?
[68:31]Lisa Left Eye Lopez.
[68:32]Lisa Left Eye Lopez actually said she was against the song when it came out, Matt,
[68:37]because she said you should take the higher road and you should just leave that relationship.
[68:41]She did not support cheating to get back at someone.
[68:44]So you were on the same boat.
[68:46]So what does she support?
[68:48]Rob?
[68:48]Well, so the rest of that quote.
[68:50]I think she supports setting fires in her house.
[68:51]God damn it, you guys.
[68:52]No interruption of Rob policy, guys.
[68:56]No interruption.
[68:57]Let's try it again, Matt.
[68:58]One more time.
[68:59]This is what happens when we have four guys who have all watched the same behind the music.
[69:03]We're like, what the hell?
[69:04]I don't know about Left Eye.
[69:05]We'll make a cut right here.
[69:07]Let's do it again.
[69:07]No, no, no.
[69:08]We're not doing it again.
[69:09]That was funny.
[69:09]That was funny as hell.
[69:10]So Rob, Rob, Rob, what does Lisa Left Eye Lopez support?
[69:13]Me f***ing off constantly watching that video.
[69:16]I literally.
[69:18]I literally got aroused when I read TLC Creep in the email.
[69:23]I was like, oh, a normal email from Russ.
[69:26]I definitely won't get aroused from this.
[69:27]This was 1995.
[69:30]That was the third most successful single.
[69:33]Yeah.
[69:34]Can you guys guess what the two more successful singles of 1995 were over Creep?
[69:39]It was Black Spite.
[69:41]It was by TLC or overall?
[69:43]There was one song ahead of it.
[69:45]So TLC had two of the top three.
[69:46]Waterfalls was number two.
[69:48]There was one other one.
[69:49]It was at Black Street.
[69:51]It was Coolio Gangsta's Paradise.
[69:53]So those were the top three singles of 1995.
[69:56]No, that's true.
[69:58]Can you imagine?
[69:59]God, I wish I was older then.
[70:01]Can you imagine losing, like just losing your virginity?
[70:04]And the songs on the radio are Creep, Gangsta's Paradise, and Waterfalls.
[70:11]I mean, erotic songs.
[70:13]You can imagine driving home too fast.
[70:16]I mean, isn't.
[70:18]Isn't Red Light special on that same album?
[70:21]I mean, that's the one you'd be getting it on to.
[70:24]Aaron, you know what happened in that movie, Gangsta's Paradise?
[70:26]It was Michelle Pfeiffer was, I think, hooking up with one of the students.
[70:30]The movie was called Dangerous Minds.
[70:32]Oh.
[70:32]That movie, Gangsta's Paradise.
[70:34]We've all watched the same chunk of MTV in our lives.
[70:38]That's it.
[70:39]Yeah.
[70:40]Yeah.
[70:41]So that song, Creep, was written by a guy named Dallas Austin, who also must have had
[70:48]a problem with cheaters or something, because he also wrote this next one.
[70:50]It's Blue Cantrell, Hit Em Up from 2001.
[70:53]You guys remember this one?
[70:54]Yes.
[70:54]Yeah.
[70:55]This is the best one.
[70:56]You know, I talked about Rock Marciano last week.
[71:01]Rock Marciano quotes Blue Cantrell on his new album, The Elf and Man's Bones.
[71:06]Time is a flat circle.
[71:08]I'm serious.
[71:09]Like, it's all coming together.
[71:10]And I was thinking about rapping this, because this is really about, like, retail revenge,
[71:15]right?
[71:15]This is, like, going and taking your guy or your...
[71:18]Your spouses, your partner's money, and going spending it all, right?
[71:21]Like, isn't that fin-doming, Rob?
[71:23]You're brunching, mate?
[71:24]Since that podcast has come out, I have met two fin-doms.
[71:28]Two?
[71:29]What?
[71:29]I've met two people who had good friends that were both fin-doms and would talk about it.
[71:33]I'm related to somebody who knew one, where eventually she had to tell the guys,
[71:38]please stop sending me money.
[71:39]What?
[71:40]Like, that's how much money she was getting.
[71:42]Can you imagine how anti-boner that would be if the one thing you're into is fin-doming?
[71:46]She's like, please, no more money.
[71:48]You'd be like, oh.
[71:48]I just went and got this enhancement on how you won't take and spend my money?
[71:52]It's like, well, I'm going to click unread on Russell's TLC creepy meal and open it up
[71:56]again.
[71:57]It's the only thing that gives me joy anymore.
[71:59]Wait, what?
[72:01]Next song on the list about the greatest cheating songs ever.
[72:06]It is Shaggy with Rick Rock, It Wasn't Me.
[72:08]It Wasn't Me.
[72:09]The King.
[72:10]This is it.
[72:14]This?
[72:15]Wow.
[72:16]Now, Russell, I assume this is the question.
[72:17]Is this the question you're going to ask with this?
[72:19]What's that?
[72:20]Do you have an opinion about banging on the bathroom floor?
[72:23]I always thought that was a gross idea.
[72:25]Imagine you're down there, right?
[72:27]And again, this is what you do.
[72:29]Rob's face is in the Zoom camera right now.
[72:34]Oh, by the way, I want to mention during Creep, Aaron was doing the Creep dance and it made
[72:37]me laugh so hard.
[72:38]I can't not do the Creep dance.
[72:40]And you're getting bone butt naked on the bathroom floor and you look over and you see
[72:44]like under the toilet.
[72:45]Like, have you ever laid down on your bathroom floor?
[72:47]You look just under the toilet.
[72:48]I can tell you right now, not erotic.
[72:51]Not as erotic as noodling.
[72:58]Yeah, I always imagined that this took place in like a mansion type house where the bathroom
[73:03]was big enough to like be on the floor.
[73:04]No one's ever used the bathroom.
[73:07]No one's ever used the toilet, right?
[73:09]This is for banging on the bathroom floor only.
[73:11]Yeah.
[73:11]That's better because I pictured it was one of those bathrooms where you need to keep
[73:15]it.
[73:15]They call me Mr. Bombastic.
[73:16]Oh.
[73:17]I'm sorry, Rob.
[73:17]You broke the interruption rule.
[73:19]I apologize.
[73:19]You must be on mute.
[73:23]Aaron was on mute a few weeks ago.
[73:25]You might be on mute this week.
[73:26]I don't know how you guys don't quit the podcast after I do this to you.
[73:30]I picture it was like a bathroom that you have to get a key from in the gas station.
[73:36]And that's the bathroom floor.
[73:39]The worst part about that is like how, like you, you, you go, you get the key and then
[73:45]you go into the bathroom, then you wash your hands and then you have to touch the key again.
[73:47]Like, I don't know if the key is the dirtiest thing about the whole transaction.
[73:51]Or the real, the real rundown bathrooms where it's like a shared towel or just kind of like
[73:55]floats like it goes up and around.
[73:56]Like, how long is this towel?
[73:58]Yeah.
[74:00]That's what you're using afterwards.
[74:02]You use just the towel that comes out.
[74:03]My favorite thing about that one from a cheating perspective, like we've talked about, we were
[74:09]talking earlier about like, do you cheat to get back at them or what do you do?
[74:12]And this one, he just denies it, right?
[74:14]He's like, it wasn't me.
[74:15]Like he's caught red handed.
[74:17]He just says.
[74:17]It wasn't me.
[74:18]What do you guys think of that strategy?
[74:20]Just deny.
[74:22]It's, it's, it's what works, right?
[74:26]You have to keep the lie up.
[74:27]You have to keep going.
[74:28]Once you dig in, that's it.
[74:30]And no, I didn't eat the cake mix.
[74:31]This has nothing to do with that.
[74:33]Okay.
[74:33]It's not.
[74:34]So I think this song was actually a big comeback for Shaggy.
[74:37]He got dropped by his record label in 1997.
[74:40]And then all of a sudden he was doing nothing for like three, four years.
[74:44]And then this song got him back up on the charts.
[74:46]He made it to number one for two.
[74:47]And it was the biggest selling single in 2001 in the UK where the queen
[74:53]Elizabeth was just a bunch of blokes.
[74:57]And you know, what's, you know, what's weird.
[74:59]You know, where they found the queen Elizabeth.
[75:00]Where?
[75:01]But naked on the bathroom floor.
[75:03]She was splooted.
[75:07]She wanted to cool down.
[75:08]She wanted to cool those Royal jewels.
[75:11]In 2019 NPR called blue Cantrell hit him up the second time.
[75:17]70th greatest song by a female artist of the 21st century stating before
[75:22]Carrie Underwood, Maroon five and Timberlake blue Cantrell wrote the script
[75:25]on cheater revenge fantasies.
[75:28]But one of those cheater revenge fantasies to me is gotta be Carrie Underwood
[75:32]2007.
[75:33]This is before he cheats.
[75:34]Check this one out.
[75:35]I don't know this.
[75:36]You don't know this.
[75:38]Are you serious?
[75:39]What the fuck?
[75:47]Come on, guys.
[75:48]This is a huge song, Aaron.
[75:50]You gotta back me up.
[75:51]I don't know.
[75:52]I don't know this one.
[75:53]I don't know.
[75:54]Sometimes I miss stuff.
[75:55]It's good.
[75:56]In part of that song, she mentioned something called bathroom polo,
[76:00]which is vending machine cologne.
[76:01]Would you guys ever buy a vending machine cologne or no?
[76:04]When you're trying to pick between the Spanish fly and the vending machine
[76:09]cologne, it's such a tough decision.
[76:10]A Spanish fly does make me super horny.
[76:15]Hmm.
[76:15]Is that what a Spanish fly does?
[76:17]I think it's supposed to.
[76:20]Yeah, it's an aphrodisiac, right?
[76:22]I've never tried it, but I've taken so much.
[76:25]I think it's affected me permanently.
[76:27]That's all I think about.
[76:29]So Carrie Underwood, Aaron, I think she's a famous country artist
[76:33]that might have been on American Idol.
[76:35]She was on American Idol.
[76:36]I know her.
[76:36]I just didn't know the song, man, but she almost passed on that song
[76:39]because she thought she would get backlash.
[76:41]But I thought that was a very famous song.
[76:43]But maybe this is where Aaron and I diverge.
[76:45]That song is a huge hit, man.
[76:47]Pile on Aaron right now.
[76:49]Make fun of him for that song.
[76:50]No, I like Aaron.
[76:51]I choose to just respect the fact that he's got other tastes in music.
[76:55]He knows so many more artists than I do.
[76:58]And the fact that he doesn't know Carrie Underwood's song,
[77:02]what is it, Before He Cheats?
[77:04]Oh, no.
[77:05]It was the first country song to become a double platinum digital single.
[77:09]Before He Cheats?
[77:10]You know, he didn't know Party in the USA.
[77:12]That was more shocking than this one.
[77:14]Wrecking Ball.
[77:15]Wrecking Ball.
[77:16]Wrecking Ball.
[77:16]That's the one.
[77:17]But either way, if people are going to cheat,
[77:20]these are the songs you better celebrate it with.
[77:22]Russell, I need to tell you something.
[77:25]Yeah.
[77:25]Earlier today, before we started recording.
[77:28]You need to do another podcast.
[77:30]I had a friend do a podcast, and I heard another list.
[77:33]So, it turns out that this is only the second best cheating list ever today.
[77:37]Did you at least listen to it on the bathroom floor?
[77:40]Oh, God.
[77:41]It wasn't him.
[77:41]It wasn't Rob.
[77:42]Yeah.
[77:43]It wasn't me.
[77:44]It's so gross.
[77:45]So gross.
[77:46]And then when you get one of those,
[77:47]one of those clawfoot tubs.
[77:48]I mean, the bathroom floor then.
[77:49]Forget about it.
[77:50]Disgusting.
[77:50]This is going to shock you guys.
[77:52]There's a surprising number of cheating songs that are country.
[77:56]There's a lot.
[77:57]Yeah.
[77:58]I had to get rid of Thunder Rolls by Garth Brooks.
[78:01]Too hard to get a Garth YouTube clip.
[78:03]How about Who's Bed of Your Boots Been Under by Shania Twain?
[78:06]That's a good one.
[78:07]You're Cheating Heart by Hank Williams.
[78:09]Kerosene, Randall Lambert.
[78:12]I was going to do more country, but Rolling Stone doesn't like country music.
[78:15]So, I figured we can't talk about it.
[78:17]That's true.
[78:18]We can only talk about bands that are New York bands.
[78:21]What about that band that all they talked about was cheating?
[78:23]Cheat Trick.
[78:24]I want you to want me.
[78:28]Sorry.
[78:29]So much editing for me.
[78:31]Next up is Down to You.
[78:34]It's about a one-night stand.
[78:35]This is what won Best Arrangement for Grammy.
[78:39]Beautiful song.
[78:42]They look so high.
[78:43]You brush against a stranger and you both apologize.
[78:46]Felt like a poem.
[78:47]Not a song to me.
[78:48]It is so poetic.
[78:50]It's like the line about Mad and Target.
[78:53]Brush against a stranger and you both apologize.
[78:55]I think it's like Minnesota was a hope.
[78:59]Russell, at the end of this song, I heard she mentions a hobgoblin.
[79:04]So, I thought maybe this was a fairy tale.
[79:06]No, you should.
[79:07]There might not be a fairy tale, but I just want you guys to listen to this part of it.
[79:10]I heard two very distinct songs that I think have come directly from this song.
[79:15]Rob, just play the end of this.
[79:17]I'm going to tell you two songs I want to hear if you guys hear it, too.
[79:19]It's switched on.
[79:20]God damn it, Rob.
[79:21]I'm sorry.
[79:22]It's three in the morning Eastern.
[79:24]Let it go for a little bit.
[79:31]It's not around.
[79:34]Oh, gosh.
[79:37]I just got that.
[79:38]It's not around.
[79:40]Sounds like some musical theater.
[79:44]Sounds like musical theater.
[79:45]If you do Peter and the Wolf here,
[79:47]it's going to blow my mind.
[79:48]Is it Wicked?
[79:49]No.
[79:49]I heard Walking in Memphis.
[79:52]Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
[79:54]And I also heard Night Swimming.
[79:56]If you guys rewind that, that sounds exact.
[79:58]There's no way REM didn't rip that right from this song.
[80:01]And I hear Dashboard Light, too.
[80:03]Yes, exactly.
[80:04]Play it one more time.
[80:06]Just one more time.
[80:07]I want to hear Night Swimming.
[80:08]I do Bear Big Ten.
[80:15]There you go.
[80:16]Right?
[80:16]Yeah.
[80:17]influential yeah absolutely night swimming which is a top 10 song of all time great song
[80:26]such a great song also known as rob's family tradition of skinny dipping they call it night
[80:32]swimming did not do it this year we didn't do what what i like to call night noodling
[80:36]this is like the balloon bit but a little different oh it's so good
[80:56]we started out this episode with the balloon bit
[80:59]i thought that was last week no just like this train
[81:05]it's an hour and a half
[81:06]26 minutes ago i i put this is where this album starts to fall off for me there's a huge tone
[81:11]change right here listen what is this it's the csy stuff right yeah but it's where it gets weird
[81:21]am i wrong i mean am i do i am i too harsh on the in this album listen to this raise down a robbery
[81:28]whoa this felt like a wayla jennings song to me you got like the wah-wah guitar
[81:36]and
[81:36]i heard wayla jennings on this one it's a little stevie influencer i think
[81:41]guys this is not like this one you didn't like this one no no it was way out of whack with the
[81:48]rest of the album and i enjoyed it wait wasn't you talking about sports gambling yeah he's this
[81:53]is about a prostitute who's meeting a guy in a bar who's betting uh the twins to win the al central
[81:58]this is wayla jennings go listen to some wayla jennings that sounds exactly like i think it's
[82:04]nice
[82:06]problem child
[82:07]not to be confused with the hit movie problem child
[82:12]starring john ritter who died i don't think he died by a car accident so i've got no jokes
[82:22]that phone's not gonna ring i have to go to the bathroom too so that phone's not gonna ring
[82:27]all right and finally we get look at rob twisted in his seat
[82:35]the absolute
[82:36]weirdest ending to an album we have ever had more than nirvana more than this was the jazz one
[82:44]this is the weirdest fucking song this is a song called twisted where joni mitchell you know who
[82:49]she used to date chich maron jackson brown chich maron oh so she invited to make an appearance
[82:57]in 74 chich and chong if i if i asked you right now bet a million dollars is chich and chong on
[83:04]any joni mitchell album you would easily say no and think you're going to win money and you would
[83:09]lose because here they are yep this is what i'm talking about bad jazz all because there was no
[83:20]driver on the top drugs are bad one of a kind one of a kind here yeah
[83:25]my analyst told me that i could not make it through this album i couldn't do it i think
[83:32]that it's you instead because yeah this is the kind of vocal jazz that i often complain about at
[83:37]home like when stuff like this comes i mean i love joni mitchell so i don't want to say anything bad
[83:41]about it but when stuff like this that is not joni mitchell comes on the radio i'd change it
[83:45]do you think there's any song that wouldn't be made better with chich and chong talking
[83:54]in the background i don't think so right shaggy it wasn't me oh oh oh my god creep imagine if
[84:02]you're listening like if you're listening yeah rob rob is rob's putting his taking his headphones
[84:06]out in the basement all of a sudden what is that song creepy step in there instead of his mom
[84:11]walking down his chich and chong what is that hallelujah by what's his name i don't think
[84:18]oh yeah hey man you get it you like heard you heard a chord hey man
[84:25]who took all the baloney
[84:32]and i don't want to i don't want to bring this up i don't want to bring this up but i used to
[84:37]have a primus album i had a song called hamburger train and at the beginning of that song there was
[84:44]a clip from a chich and chong movie that starred peewee herman saying you're the man from the
[84:51]hamburger train right to the guy from the hamburger train right there's this huge bass solo i'm playing
[85:00]it right now
[85:02]this whole thing is the matrix we're in the matrix we're in the simulation
[85:06]we've reached the extent everything is looping back in on itself
[85:11]this is like the end of 2001 i'm going forward
[85:14]at the post game show tonight or not oh my god earnest we i forgot we fucking talk about earnest
[85:20]he went to camp he went to jail that was like a very even a lot of places in his life
[85:26]rob was making nash bridges jokes three weeks ago and here we are
[85:30]what
[85:30]yeah
[85:32]what i didn't get is on netflix i watched earnest goes noodling
[85:36]it was you know what i mean verne hey this feels good when the fish sucks me off you know what i
[85:42]mean verne oh god this is what you're telling me you don't need to do that you don't need to do
[85:48]that part we are it's too you don't have to explain it it's like it's out there already
[85:54]hey rob no edits on this episode post as is post it right i mean i've heard of getting i've heard
[86:01]slapped by a fish but slobbed by a fish i mean oh no oh my god are we getting the rating system
[86:08]now now we're just feeding it more bait like rob would be feeding that catfish
[86:12]all right so we are into our rating system guys court and spark this is
[86:20]110 like the famous highway referenced apparently 10 days ago from how long this podcast has seemed
[86:26]to last uh is this album at 110 is this perfect okay i would say yes i would say yes i would say
[86:31]you know what it's and because it's right in the middle it's not court it's not spark it's and it's
[86:37]perfect it's rolling well toned is this album should this have been higher maybe 109 maybe
[86:44]108 and i know what you're saying wait he said higher but the number nine or 108 somewhere right
[86:49]but it's yeah wait what somewhere somewhere what's happening or the floor above
[86:57]007 that's still a great joke that is yeah it is i
[87:01]don't get what's going on i feel like you're in solar power guy where he's like i
[87:05]i have to keep talking to you because i'm technically gonna get a sale out of this
[87:11]i ate the dates or the figs or whatever these things are called
[87:17]i also like to play desperately looking around the yard
[87:21]oh yeah uh turns his head sideways so he can read on the net spike ball
[87:26]and listen if this is
[87:31]if this is like spike ball okay and it should be better okay it should be higher up on the
[87:36]list in the lower number and before i was rudely interrupted i was telling you that it's higher up
[87:42]lower number what's going on with that okay that's the way this podcast works as the night goes on we
[87:48]actually get higher and higher and our listeners get lower and lower we can easily get one more
[87:52]in tonight we can easily get one more in that would be a rolling bone it should have been
[87:57]higher up on the list a lower number as i previously explained if you didn't understand what that meant
[88:01]go back 15 seconds i explained it if you didn't understand that go back push the podcast back
[88:05]but in a minute i explained it back then too um or is this a rolling groan okay you did not like
[88:14]this album it should be up higher than 110 maybe 111 maybe 112 okay uh eventually it might have
[88:21]been off the list uh maybe you didn't like this album at all that would be in necessity it would
[88:26]you would have to give it um a rolling groan a roll
[88:31]too much you know what too much cheech not enough chong if you thought that this would be a rolling
[88:37]groan okay i love tommy chong hate cheech marin and by the way but but you could augment that
[88:42]if you needed more chong you could augment that right you can do double assessment if i wake my
[88:49]wife up laughing she comes out and say what are you laughing so hard at and i say man says that i
[88:55]should augment my chong i might the big d i think
[89:00]it's it's this is the big d oh my god okay at least at least she might she might have to be
[89:07]listening to one of these cheating songs if she's she can't handle it anymore right that was weird
[89:12]because our first dance at her wedding was it wasn't me i thought that was i was suspicious
[89:16]of that red flag for sure so what do you think rolling well-toned rolling bone or rolling going
[89:19]russell i'm into songs about cheating i think the piano on this the piano on this was fantastic i
[89:29]like joni mitchell she like erin
[89:30]was saying earlier she's one of a kind vocally rob you said that i think earlier you hear and
[89:35]you know immediately that's joni mitchell for me it's i don't think it's something i'll come back
[89:39]and listen to numerous times and i to be honest rob brought up the cheech and chong at the end of
[89:45]the song i never made it through the album and to me if i couldn't make it through the album then to
[89:49]me it can't be one that i'm going to come back to over and over so i'm going to say a slight rolling
[89:54]rolling groan it's too high on the list for me but joni mitchell's an icon super influential i think
[90:00]but the album's not for me matt what do you think rolling well-toned rolling bone or rolling grown
[90:05]i think it's rolling grown i think joni mitchell is one of the quintessential artists especially
[90:12]the 70s late 60s 70s but i don't think this album deserves uh to be 109 on the top 500 albums of all
[90:22]time so i'm just gonna say it's rolling groaned she would live in an apartment above james bond
[90:28]but two units over that's true
[90:30]you know what we should maybe make a shirt of this drawing
[90:34]but it might only be one unit over because maybe all the odds are on one side and all the evens are
[90:41]on the other so it's probably right next to be quarter units too involved it would get real weird
[90:45]you guys sound like you're kind of into real estate with that kind of talk i don't know that's
[90:48]a weird better it sounds like we've been hanging out with cheech and chong for the afternoon
[90:52]aaron rolling well-toned not enough tone or rolling grown now listen this album is like a salesman
[91:00]to your house are you going to look you make eye contact are you going to get up and answer the door
[91:07]or will you simply turn back to the peewee herman video that you've also started watching 10 times
[91:11]in a row what will you do aaron rolling well-toned rolling bone or rolling grown court and spark
[91:15]yeah i'm gonna answer the door 1970 1974 i'm usually not a laurel canyon sound person it's
[91:24]just it doesn't really move me i don't feel like it's it's propulsive enough but i like the grooves
[91:30]on this record i like the the kind of lush sound and love what joni mitchell does with phrasing i
[91:36]will acknowledge there's a miss or two on the album but i'm going to give it a rolling well-toned
[91:41]uh propulsive i mean that's that's how i feel about doing this night noodling
[91:47]i have a very propulsive i'm doing it propulsively
[91:53]i see you've doubled down on the fish fucking jokes
[91:58]so that's
[92:00]excuse me excuse me i want to be clear about something
[92:02]he's baiting the fish is blowing me
[92:05]it's a blowfish
[92:08]they're all blowfish if we work hard enough listen next up oh by the way you guys are wrong
[92:16]okay and i have to go so i've got to hurry no no messing around no wasting time please
[92:21]this is a rolling actually i could be talking about the album or the podcast this is a rolling
[92:27]veering widely in tone
[92:28]okay
[92:29]i like an album where it's a it's a they try to do it's like a fiona apple they do a certain thing
[92:35]and they do the best of it i just thought this one was all over the place love the first half
[92:38]i if you cut this album off after seven it would be one of my favorites that back half i i'm with
