Before we get to the music, this episode gets hotter than a hoochie coochie when breakdown an Alan Jackson music video, proving we're also the best country music podcast. We also talk about the best brunch cocktails, watching football with your kids, and how to interact with door-to-door salespeople. Warning...this part of the pod also has some artificial enhancement which makes it so long it could snake a drain. Then at (5

[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
