Kendrick Lamar: Good Kid, M.A.A.D City (2012)

[00:00]In 2020, four friends decided to listen to every one of the greatest 500 albums as decided by

[00:04]Rolling Stone magazine. This resulted in a text chain that celebrated the music, excoriated the

[00:08]order, and led us to making this podcast. We are far from experts. We promise to do almost no

[00:12]research. All opinions are our own, unless you disagree. Please sit back and enjoy. Beck did it

[00:18]better. We are up to album 115 and from 2012, okay, the day that I ate all my dad's supplies

[00:27]for the end of the world, he was like, end of the world? I was like, no, what? No, I never ate the

[00:33]cake mix. Good Kid, Mad City by Kendrick Lamar. And I'll tell you what, guys, let's get right into

[00:40]it. Listen, so I have heard the feedback. I just want to tell everybody that I am talking too much

[00:46]about penises. It turns out celebrity penises, not what people want to talk about. It turns out

[00:51]even maybe when you're on a text chain with friends and you are texting out pictures of things and the

[00:55]friends maybe aren't on the podcast, it's kind of awkward.

[00:57]After a while. So I've decided that I'm going to get all of the penis talk out at the beginning of

[01:03]the show. Okay. I had to, I had to, I don't think this is the way it was supposed to go for the

[01:08]correction. Yeah. I find halfway. I find that when I do it like this, then I can take a break and I

[01:13]can, you know, I don't have to think about it so much like it for at least a half hour, 45 minutes.

[01:18]I think we're going to be set here after the song. So let's turn on K-Rob and see if there's any

[01:21]songs on the radio about penises.

[01:27]K-R-O-B. You know, we're always talking about how the world is getting smaller and smaller and

[01:34]smaller, but yet some people want things to get bigger and bigger and bigger. Folks, Rob had a

[01:43]dream about that. Oh yeah. I wish a big dick would be my superpower. Looks like a snake is loose in

[01:53]my trousers. If I'm walking through a field, I would accidentally.

[01:57]I just want to look good when I'm in the shower, man, I'd make it bigger, longer, just like Lenny

[02:05]Kravitz would be a pant. I'd want to make it the same size as Lee Neeson. Please honk the horn when

[02:12]I'm driving my Neeson. When I am squatting, huge dick could be a spider. I want people to say,

[02:17]is that Ted D Bridgewater? If I did it my way, I'm wearing baggy shorts. You could see it hang.

[02:25]Wish my big dick would be my superpower.

[02:27]Wish my big dick would be, it's all about big dongs, just like Joe Mauer. Now it's small and white, looks like the movie Powder.

[02:34]When you want it, you want it. Greatest albums of all time.

[02:38]Wow. We could get a single with a Sunday Shango reference in there.

[02:43]Man, you and I should have been a rapper, Rob.

[02:51]I've got the perfect podcast for you.

[02:54]Nothing's better.

[02:54]Beck did it better.

[02:57]I did wait until my kids left the apartment to record that one. I was like, I cannot do this with

[03:04]the whole family around. I need to wait a little bit. Listen, welcome to Beck did it better. We are

[03:08]talking about Kendrick Lamar, his second album that we have done so far on the list after to

[03:12]pivot butterfly. And I've got three guys here who know so much about it, have listened to the album

[03:17]a number of times and they want to talk about it. I got Russell in Minnesota. Russell, how are you

[03:21]doing? Guys? I was praying our podcast gets a following as big as the Eiffel tower. So I can

[03:26]be less embarrassed about this podcast for 72 hours. But then Rob played that opening song

[03:32]and it killed my vibe. God damn, I feel amazing. I was like, I was like, Hey, this song is about

[03:37]him having a big dick. First time ever. Somehow when Kendrick does it, you're like,

[03:45]that makes sense. When Rob does it, you go, that's pretty funny.

[03:47]Great. I actually did listen to this album. I've got Matt in Minneapolis.

[03:51]Right on Rob for once. That's good. Good work.

[03:56]It's a banger. And I've got Aaron. Aaron, I saw recently on the news in Oakland, there was a guy

[04:03]running around and this is, you know, sometimes I use this space to tell jokes, right? But I,

[04:09]sometimes when I see stuff happening in California on the news, I think about you all the time. And

[04:13]especially this one, cause this was right in the Bay area. And I was wondering if you saw this,

[04:17]there was a guy who they found out was walking around. Do you remember a couple of years ago

[04:22]where everybody was dressing like clowns and kind of going out and like being in the woods and being

[04:25]scary? Do you remember that?

[04:26]It lasted like three months or something. It was like a random clown thing.

[04:29]This guy was dressing, dressing up like a clown and he was hiding from perverts. Did you see this

[04:35]Aaron? Did you see this story? Did you see this? Did you see this? Yeah. That's cause you're a

[04:39]pervert. You're an absolute pervert. I got Aaron out in the Bay area. Aaron, how are you doing?

[04:44]I'm just trying to reconnect with my elation, baby. Let's talk about getting in that city.

[04:48]Listen, that was worth it. I've, I've found that when I say it's like, I can then change the

[04:56]to any topic I want. It's like how I bought a thing of cereal today and it says large size now

[05:02]instead of family size. Cause it's, it knows it's just me. They know it's just me. It's not the

[05:07]family. It's just large size. Listen guys, let's get right to our voicemails. As you guys know,

[05:18]this episode is coming out on Halloween. So let's see if we have a Halloween related voicemail.

[05:24]Did you call them that?

[05:26]This is the voicemail?

[05:30]I was working on the podcast. I've got my jokes to write. When I realized this episode tonight

[05:37]would be downloaded and then it would be seen on October 31st. Why that's Halloween.

[05:44]He made a list about scary songs. The bit's always a little too long. What song will be number one?

[05:55]He made a list.

[05:56]If you don't like it, then you are wrong. So I went online to find the scariest song.

[06:02]I copy other lists so it doesn't take too long. The thing this year that's got me depressed.

[06:09]It's the third year in a row that I've made this list.

[06:12]He made a list about scary songs. He made a list. This bit's always a bit too long.

[06:19]Rob made a list. What song will be number one? He made a list. Number six was this very song.

[06:26]He made a list.

[06:27]Yes!

[06:29]Oh, that reminds me, by the way. I did download that laugh as a laugh that we can play at any time.

[06:39]So if anybody has a funny joke, I think we can play this. Won't be too distracting at all.

[06:44]Keep that in the back pocket.

[06:45]Was Michael Jackson kind of the original furry? You know what I mean? Like he dressed up like a werewolf. He's out there.

[06:51]Oh.

[06:52]Anyway.

[06:56]I said the scariest songs.

[06:57]You know it's Halloween, but I have to finish it by Michael Jackson as a furry impression.

[07:04]I'm a cat and I need my mama's milk. Give me my mother's milk, please. Doctor.

[07:10]What was his name again? Conrad Murray. Dr. Conrad Murray. How can I forget that?

[07:14]How far is the reels already?

[07:16]So it is October 31st. I am releasing this episode on a Monday as a special treat unannounced to our listeners.

[07:24]Okay.

[07:24]Because.

[07:26]You know, this is going to be the sweetest thing they get all Halloween.

[07:29]And so anytime it's Halloween, we think what we talk about music all the time. You know, music has emotions.

[07:35]I think this album, especially you hear this raw emotion. So I was thinking one emotion that is.

[07:40]You were thinking we'd make a list.

[07:42]I did make a list. I don't know if you noticed that.

[07:47]And I also say that sound clip because it's a depressing thing that we're probably going to make a fourth Halloween list next year.

[07:53]Guys, this is the third Halloween we've been together.

[07:55]I don't know.

[07:56]I don't know.

[07:57]It's starting to lose steam.

[07:58]It's wild.

[07:58]No, no, no, no, no.

[08:00]This is definitely not losing steam.

[08:01]This is a good bit.

[08:02]No, I just meant the podcast in general.

[08:04]I don't know if we'll make it another year.

[08:06]Yeah.

[08:06]Oh, I know what you're talking about.

[08:08]It has nothing to do with this list of the scariest songs for the third year.

[08:11]So let's go through my list of the scariest songs.

[08:14]Now, the first one, I'm going to admit, I downloaded this for my sad songs and I forgot to put it on.

[08:20]But you know what?

[08:20]It's also scary.

[08:22]Okay.

[08:22]Think about being out in a boat on Lake Superior.

[08:26]I feel like they play this occasionally and they just go on and on and on.

[08:34]Spooky.

[08:34]This is not scary at all.

[08:36]I mean, this is, you don't think this is scary?

[08:39]Trying to make up for missing the sad song list.

[08:42]I would definitely give out a king-size candy bar to the kid who comes trick-or-treating

[08:46]and is dressed as the captain of the Edmund Fitzgerald.

[08:50]And he'd say, it's been good to know you.

[08:52]That's what the captain says.

[08:56]What song is that, Rob?

[08:58]Who's it by?

[08:58]That's by, oh, that's embarrassing.

[09:01]Gordon Lightfoot.

[09:02]The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald.

[09:04]The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald.

[09:06]It's actually, I didn't see that on many scariest songs list.

[09:10]But if you think about sinking in the lake on a boat, that's scary.

[09:13]I would be scared.

[09:14]Yeah.

[09:15]I mean, honestly, it's scarier than any of these other songs because it's about a real boat sinking.

[09:20]So the fact that you're laughing at that, Aaron, is terrible.

[09:22]Just terrible.

[09:23]Their families could be listening.

[09:24]I think the Edmund Fitzgerald only.

[09:26]It had one hit, right, Rob?

[09:27]Oh, no.

[09:28]That boat hit in the ground, the base of the sea.

[09:30]Guys, I can't do it.

[09:32]Just go for it.

[09:33]You know you want to.

[09:34]I can't.

[09:35]I mean, it would be on Halloween, the scariest time of year.

[09:41]Hold on.

[09:42]Let me pick it up.

[09:42]Hello?

[09:44]Hello, who is this?

[09:45]Hi, this is the captain from the Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald.

[09:48]And you won't believe who's standing next to me.

[09:50]Who's with you, Captain?

[09:52]It's Coolio.

[09:53]It's Coolio and I.

[09:54]We're standing here.

[09:55]Oh.

[09:56]Yeah, Coolio had some hits.

[09:57]I had some hits, too.

[09:58]I don't know if you guys knew that, but it's...

[09:59]What was your big hit, Captain?

[10:01]My big hit?

[10:03]Well, first, like a lot of bands, I actually had a breakup.

[10:06]And it was the middle of the ship.

[10:07]Yeah, it was the middle of the ship, and it broke up.

[10:09]And then we went down, and the minutes, they turned to hours.

[10:12]Oh.

[10:13]So, hey, do you want to talk to Coolio real quick?

[10:16]Yeah, I'd love to.

[10:17]He's not here.

[10:18]But Chuck Berry said he wants to talk to you.

[10:20]Hey, guys, it's me, Chuck Berry.

[10:22]Chuck, how's it going?

[10:23]Listen, things up here are great.

[10:25]You can do whatever you want.

[10:26]What do you mean?

[10:27]Well, I got to go.

[10:29]I'll see you guys later.

[10:29]I've been hell.

[10:30]Goodbye.

[10:30]Now, if I told you that was a bit that I had planned earlier this week,

[10:37]would that be sad or good?

[10:38]Is Russell a plant in this scenario?

[10:43]Obviously, Russell thought that song was pretty scary,

[10:46]and he wanted to try to distract me from doing the list.

[10:48]Not going to work, because I am still on.

[10:50]This is number five.

[10:51]This is the number five scariest songs.

[10:56]This is the number five scariest songs of all time.

[10:56]This is the number five scariest songs of all time.

[10:56]This is the number five scariest songs of all time.

[10:56]This is the number five scariest songs of all time.

[10:56]This is the number five scariest songs of all time.

[10:56]This is the number five scariest songs of all time.

[10:56]And honestly, to be scared by this song,

[10:58]you really need to watch the video.

[10:59]But just listen to this.

[11:00]This is Primus, and he is,

[11:03]Les Claypool is stringing a double bass,

[11:05]like an electric double bass,

[11:07]and in the video, he's wearing a tuxedo

[11:09]dressed in a pig suit,

[11:10]and everything around him is like burning down.

[11:11]It's very scary.

[11:12]Just listen to this.

[11:13]Now, if you were swimming away from your boat

[11:20]in the middle of Lake Superior and you heard this,

[11:21]that would be very bad, right?

[11:22]That'd be scary.

[11:23]Kind of like a Jaws feeling to it, doesn't it?

[11:26]By the way, they played this video six times on MTV

[11:31]and then never played it again.

[11:32]You might wonder,

[11:34]who would be dumb enough to have bought that album

[11:36]with that on it, thinking they would like that?

[11:38]And the answer is me,

[11:39]because that was also the song that Hamburger Train was on,

[11:41]so I had that album.

[11:42]Does the whole album sound like that?

[11:43]Yes.

[11:44]You can imagine what my parents thought when I played it,

[11:47]and I was like, mm-hmm, yes, I like this,

[11:48]because I like Les Claypool, apparently.

[11:50]Tell me.

[11:51]I would have guessed it was the same guy

[11:53]who was dumb enough to make a Halloween music list

[11:55]for three years in a row

[11:56]that bought that album.

[11:56]You bought it, right?

[11:56]This, you know, actually, Russell, seriously,

[12:00]that upsets me.

[12:00]It's not a Halloween list.

[12:01]It's a Scariest Songs list, okay?

[12:03]That's released at Halloween.

[12:05]No, yes, but you could play this list whenever you want.

[12:07]None of these songs are Halloween-related,

[12:09]if you noticed.

[12:10]Do you guys think that if you would have played

[12:12]the same list all the last three years

[12:14]and anybody would notice?

[12:15]Yes, there was a Will Smith one.

[12:18]There was a Will Smith one I would have recognized

[12:20]if you played it back.

[12:22]Oh, yeah, Nightmare on Earth.

[12:23]It was actually DJ Jazzy Jeff and Will Smith,

[12:25]but yeah, it was Nightmare on Earth.

[12:26]Nightmare on My Street,

[12:27]and then I also remember I had this song,

[12:28]and they went,

[12:28]dun, dun-dun-dun-dun-dun.

[12:31]Listen, we don't have time to go down there.

[12:33]I mean, there's...

[12:35]Nailed it.

[12:36]Yeah, it's very scary.

[12:38]Now, this song, legit, is scary.

[12:40]It's Tom Waits.

[12:41]It's just called What's He Building?

[12:42]He said he wrote the words

[12:43]and could never put a song around it,

[12:45]so he just did it as a spoken word poem.

[12:46]Oh, I know.

[12:49]I know this song.

[12:50]This is on Mueller.

[12:51]Yeah, of course.

[12:52]I mean, this is Harry.

[12:54]What is this?

[12:56]I don't know.

[12:56]What's he building in there?

[12:57]I mean, this isn't a song.

[12:59]What is that?

[13:00]This isn't a song.

[13:01]This is Canada in my house.

[13:04]We do this all the time.

[13:04]What's he building in there?

[13:06]He took down the tire swing from the pepper tree.

[13:10]He has no children of his own, you see.

[13:14]He has no dog.

[13:16]There's a big part at the end

[13:18]where his neighbor is setting up 20 yard inflatables,

[13:22]and he's mad about that,

[13:23]but I don't want to play that part.

[13:24]If I remember correctly,

[13:25]the...

[13:26]The wedding that you did not invite Matt and Rob to,

[13:29]I think if I remember right,

[13:30]you purposely uninvited Rob.

[13:32]I think he was like on the list,

[13:33]and you crossed him off,

[13:34]if I remember right.

[13:35]That's right.

[13:36]But I believe Aaron gave everyone

[13:38]who came to the wedding a CD,

[13:39]and I believe it had a Tom Waits song on it,

[13:41]if I remember correctly.

[13:42]Is that right, Aaron?

[13:43]It did.

[13:44]It was a good song, though, was it?

[13:45]It was not.

[13:46]No, it was not what's he building.

[13:47]Ah, I hope I don't get this wrong.

[13:49]It might have been

[13:50]I'll Never Let Go of Your Hand.

[13:51]I think it might have been

[13:53]I'll Never Let Go of Your Hand.

[13:54]Yeah, my lady,

[13:55]when we first...

[13:56]Well, on our first date,

[13:57]she had a Tom Waits cassette in her car,

[13:59]and I was like,

[14:00]I gotta know more about this woman.

[14:01]She had Raindogs in her car.

[14:02]If that song would have played,

[14:03]would you have gotten out immediately,

[14:04]or would that be...

[14:05]Maybe, yeah, yeah.

[14:06]If it had been, yeah,

[14:07]if she'd been playing

[14:07]the end of Mule Variations,

[14:08]I might have been concerned,

[14:09]but it was Raindogs,

[14:10]so it was a little different.

[14:11]The, uh...

[14:14]I love the idea of a wedding CD,

[14:15]and then you look back,

[14:17]and you're like,

[14:17]these songs were shit.

[14:18]What does that mean about

[14:19]this whole choice I made?

[14:20]Like, these are terrible songs.

[14:21]I've got tattoos I regret,

[14:24]and the CD is terrible.

[14:25]I think I may have made

[14:25]terrible choices all along.

[14:27]But it's fine,

[14:28]because my tattoo says

[14:29]no regrets,

[14:30]so it's fine.

[14:31]Classic.

[14:32]Listen, now,

[14:33]this video legit

[14:35]did scare the shit out of me

[14:36]when I saw that MTV.

[14:37]Oh, Metallica.

[14:39]Is it one?

[14:39]Oh, God.

[14:40]Yes.

[14:41]Yeah, no,

[14:42]this shit's terrifying.

[14:43]This is scary.

[14:44]I'm gonna die

[14:45]and myself.

[14:46]This song was

[14:49]my greatest headbanging

[14:51]in a car experience ever

[14:52]with Aaron

[14:53]and two of our other roommates.

[14:55]When we were in college,

[14:56]I remember being in a car,

[14:57]this song came on,

[14:58]and the whole car

[14:59]started headbanging

[15:00]for about five minutes

[15:01]in the vehicle.

[15:02]It was fantastic.

[15:02]It's all you can do.

[15:03]You have no choice.

[15:04]It was our Wayne's World

[15:05]Bohemian Rhapsody moment

[15:07]in a car.

[15:07]What do you say, Aaron?

[15:08]I would guess

[15:10]Bohemian Rhapsody

[15:11]was not about a guy

[15:12]who stepped on a landmine

[15:13]and is still alive

[15:14]but cannot communicate

[15:15]but is being tortured

[15:16]inside of his mind.

[15:17]And then me,

[15:18]maybe as a 10-year-old,

[15:19]I don't know,

[15:20]waiting for like a TLC video

[15:21]to come on

[15:22]or something else.

[15:22]Mariah Carey,

[15:25]yeah,

[15:25]is just starting

[15:26]to maybe start that process

[15:27]and then that video comes on

[15:28]and it leads to a lot of

[15:29]confusion.

[15:31]What did the process involve?

[15:33]Huh?

[15:34]What did the process involve?

[15:35]A lot of looking over my shoulder.

[15:37]Standing up back then.

[15:41]Yeah, it's like

[15:41]laying down now.

[15:42]It's like standing up back then.

[15:43]He's out mowing the lawn.

[15:45]He's probably not going

[15:46]to look in the window

[15:47]while he's mowing the lawn, right?

[15:48]Like, that'd be crazy.

[15:49]You know what?

[15:50]If the old man

[15:51]walked in during that, Rob,

[15:52]and you were watching

[15:53]the one video,

[15:53]he would have to just turn around

[15:55]and walk out.

[15:55]There's no way he'd even be like,

[15:57]hey, knock it off in there.

[15:58]Why does Rob have my disco ball?

[16:00]That's why he looked in.

[16:05]What the hell

[16:05]is the disco ball doing on?

[16:06]Having your dad

[16:07]catch you jerking it

[16:08]to the Metallica video?

[16:09]That's scary.

[16:10]With a disco ball?

[16:12]Number three on my list.

[16:13]Wow.

[16:14]Did he have disco balls

[16:15]through your whole childhood, Rob?

[16:16]Or is this a recent thing

[16:17]that's developed?

[16:18]No, no, no, no.

[16:19]It's always.

[16:19]He's always been enamored

[16:21]with like buying a disco ball

[16:22]and putting it up.

[16:23]We did have one in our basement.

[16:25]We did have one in our basement

[16:25]for a while, for sure.

[16:25]100%.

[16:27]It's not a joke.

[16:28]Where'd it go?

[16:29]Oh, it's somewhere else now.

[16:30]We've got multiple all over.

[16:32]That one got wore out.

[16:33]That was like the third of 19

[16:36]in the history of the ward.

[16:38]My sister loves this bit.

[16:43]She thinks it's funny.

[16:44]I get lots of comments

[16:45]about how much it makes her laugh.

[16:47]She dislikes it

[16:48]because we're not talking about

[16:49]how much of a scam

[16:50]those dentists are.

[16:51]That's why she likes it.

[16:53]She didn't say.

[16:54]She goes,

[16:54]I heard you said

[16:54]stick it up for dentists

[16:55]the other day.

[16:56]And I was like,

[16:56]you wouldn't believe

[16:58]how much I edited out as well.

[16:59]Charge us some more

[17:00]for that, Floret.

[17:00]I think they already

[17:01]put it in the water here.

[17:02]What the hell?

[17:03]I will say,

[17:04]speaking of dentists,

[17:05]and this isn't scary,

[17:06]so it's not part of the list,

[17:07]but I have been wearing

[17:08]my mouth guard every night

[17:09]for this week, guys.

[17:10]That was on my list

[17:11]of changing my life

[17:11]for the better.

[17:12]Made it a whole week?

[17:14]Good work.

[17:15]It's hard sleeping

[17:16]with a mouth guard

[17:17]and it's not easy.

[17:17]Is it a teeth grinding thing

[17:18]or why do you wear it?

[17:19]It's a teeth grinding thing.

[17:21]They claim I grind

[17:22]my teeth at night.

[17:22]I don't think I do,

[17:23]but I want to prove

[17:24]the dentist wrong,

[17:25]so I'm going to wear it

[17:25]and show them that,

[17:26]ah, it's something else

[17:27]eating away at my teeth.

[17:28]Maybe sugar.

[17:29]Maybe those dentists

[17:32]can do a better job, right?

[17:33]No, I didn't say that

[17:35]at all, actually.

[17:36]In the football squad,

[17:37]everybody had a mouth guard, right?

[17:39]There was always that one guy

[17:40]that would just chew it

[17:41]just to a pulp.

[17:43]And that's what you're going

[17:44]to bring into your dentist

[17:45]aren't you?

[17:46]He's going to be like,

[17:46]come in in a month, right?

[17:47]And he's going to come in

[17:48]and it's just going to be shredded.

[17:49]See, I don't grind my teeth.

[17:51]This thing is rock hard.

[17:52]It's hard.

[17:52]It's crazy to sleep with.

[17:54]Try sleeping with a hard mouth guard

[17:55]and it's almost impossible.

[17:56]What is the point of going

[17:57]to the dentist

[17:57]if you've got to do all the work

[17:59]to wear the mouth guard

[18:00]and everything?

[18:00]Like, you're going to a professional

[18:01]so they can fix the problem.

[18:03]Like, what?

[18:04]Now you've got to wear

[18:05]the mouth guard?

[18:05]And you're paying them?

[18:06]You're paying them money for it.

[18:07]Listen, honestly,

[18:09]if it stops me

[18:10]from having pain in my mouth,

[18:12]I would go,

[18:13]if they said you have to go

[18:14]every month, I'd say, okay.

[18:15]As long as I don't have,

[18:16]can you guys imagine mouth pain?

[18:18]Forget about it.

[18:19]It's one of the things

[18:20]I use the most is my mouth.

[18:21]It's my chef knife.

[18:22]Here, you come back, Rob.

[18:26]You come back once a month.

[18:29]You give me $2,000.

[18:31]Done.

[18:32]No mouth pain?

[18:33]We'll go all back.

[18:34]We'll kick in the nuts.

[18:34]We'll call it a day.

[18:35]How about that?

[18:36]That's it.

[18:36]I'd pay an extra $2,000 for that.

[18:39]Is there an out-of-pocket maximum

[18:40]for your coverage, Matt, or not?

[18:41]Can you stamp them too?

[18:44]I mean, it's funny.

[18:45]I don't think dentists,

[18:46]they don't have any

[18:47]out-of-pocket max, do they?

[18:48]Oh, God.

[18:48]Oh, no.

[18:49]Not there.

[18:51]That's scary.

[18:51]That belongs on the list.

[18:52]Thinking about dental insurance?

[18:54]Ooh.

[18:55]That's number two and a half

[18:56]on the list.

[18:57]Now, number two,

[18:57]by Pendrecchi,

[18:58]this is the Threnody

[19:00]for the Victims of Hiroshima.

[19:01]Now, this is a classical piece

[19:04]that you have heard in,

[19:05]well, see, now,

[19:06]this is the thing, though.

[19:07]He made it,

[19:08]and then he listened to the thing,

[19:10]and he was like,

[19:10]what does this make me think of?

[19:12]And then he was like,

[19:12]at the end, he was like,

[19:13]that's for the people of Hiroshima.

[19:14]So to me,

[19:15]he wasn't thinking about the people

[19:17]when he made it,

[19:17]so it doesn't,

[19:18]he kind of just tacked that on

[19:19]to the song.

[19:20]Doesn't that seem

[19:20]kind of cheap?

[19:21]Right?

[19:22]Are you accusing him

[19:24]of stolen valor?

[19:25]Kind of.

[19:26]Actually, you know what?

[19:27]That's not too far off.

[19:28]And you hear this

[19:29]in a lot of movies.

[19:30]This was in Children of Men,

[19:32]People Under the Stairs,

[19:33]which is a movie

[19:33]that scared the shit out of me

[19:34]around that same time.

[19:35]Children of Men,

[19:36]one of the great movies

[19:37]of all time.

[19:37]Twin Peaks.

[19:40]So here it is.

[19:41]You'll recognize this.

[19:42]This is scary.

[19:43]This is, I would say,

[19:43]this is the second scariest song ever.

[19:45]It's like something

[19:49]out of a Hitchcock movie,

[19:50]right?

[19:50]Yeah, this stuff's terrifying.

[19:52]I feel like there's

[19:53]birds swarming me

[19:54]or something right now.

[19:55]Yes.

[19:57]Not gonna lie,

[19:58]I've never heard this song

[19:59]because I get scared shitless

[20:01]from those movies

[20:02]that you just said.

[20:02]I'm with you, man.

[20:03]I'm out.

[20:04]I don't like scary movies.

[20:05]I cannot watch those.

[20:07]I can't even watch them

[20:08]like through the fingers, right?

[20:10]Where you've got

[20:10]your fingers up.

[20:11]I can't even do that.

[20:12]No, I'm showing my kids

[20:15]Child's Play this weekend.

[20:16]Oh, my God.

[20:17]With Chucky.

[20:18]That's good parenting, right?

[20:19]Children of Men,

[20:20]Children of Men, though.

[20:21]Children of Men's a great movie.

[20:22]My kid's like,

[20:22]what's happening?

[20:23]And I was like,

[20:24]oh, the person

[20:26]who killed somebody

[20:27]is putting their soul

[20:28]into a doll.

[20:29]Does that make sense?

[20:31]She's like, what?

[20:32]She's like,

[20:32]I'm going to my room.

[20:33]And I was like,

[20:33]no, no, you must watch this movie.

[20:34]The reason that was so scary

[20:35]is because in theory,

[20:37]it could happen.

[20:37]Like, you can lock

[20:38]your doors and everything,

[20:39]but all my stuffed animals

[20:40]that I've got in my room

[20:41]and all my dolls

[20:42]and everything,

[20:42]if those came to life,

[20:43]I'm screwed, right?

[20:45]But like,

[20:45]if there's some crazy clown

[20:47]out there on Halloween,

[20:48]I can lock my doors

[20:49]and in theory,

[20:49]they're probably not

[20:50]getting to me very easily.

[20:51]But if my dolls

[20:53]come to life,

[20:54]I'm screwed.

[20:54]Especially that one doll

[20:55]Russell had to fly out

[20:56]to Nevada to buy

[20:56]and it weighs like 200 pounds

[20:58]and he has it in his house

[20:58]and he takes it out

[20:59]to dinner sometime.

[21:00]I mean,

[21:00]if Russell's sex doll

[21:01]came to life

[21:02]and tried to murder him,

[21:02]that'd be sick.

[21:04]It keeps dripping lube

[21:05]all over my hallway.

[21:06]Oh my God.

[21:07]Oh my God.

[21:07]What's that noise?

[21:08]I hear it.

[21:09]It's KY on the floor.

[21:10]I'd recognize that anywhere.

[21:10]Russell,

[21:11]just don't lock your door

[21:12]because if that clown

[21:13]really wants to get in,

[21:14]he'll bust right through

[21:15]that door.

[21:16]So why even lock the door?

[21:18]You might as well

[21:19]just let him walk in

[21:20]because then at least

[21:21]you don't have to

[21:21]replace the door

[21:22]when he leaves

[21:23]in three or four hours

[21:25]after terrorizing you.

[21:25]That's true.

[21:26]That's a good...

[21:27]Hey,

[21:27]and I'll tell you what,

[21:28]hanging doors,

[21:29]almost worse than getting

[21:30]terrorized by a clown at night.

[21:31]Yeah,

[21:31]so you might as well

[21:32]just leave it open

[21:33]because he's going to get in

[21:33]no matter what.

[21:34]Rob,

[21:34]do you ever hear

[21:35]like a creepy sound

[21:36]maybe in your apartment

[21:37]or something

[21:37]and you just lay

[21:38]and wait for your wife

[21:39]to go check it out

[21:40]or what's your style

[21:41]when you hear something

[21:41]creepy in the apartment?

[21:42]If somebody broke

[21:44]into my apartment

[21:45]because you know,

[21:46]I don't even like

[21:48]that you announced this.

[21:49]Yeah,

[21:49]we don't lock our door.

[21:50]We don't do it.

[21:51]We have a doorman.

[21:52]If somebody's...

[21:53]You have a butler.

[21:53]Yeah,

[21:53]exactly.

[21:54]It is a butler

[21:55]and he does not like it

[21:56]when I call him that

[21:56]it turns out.

[21:57]But there is somebody there

[22:00]so we don't lock our door.

[22:01]We just don't

[22:03]and if somebody came in,

[22:03]if I heard

[22:04]the tap,

[22:05]tap,

[22:05]tap of somebody's shoes

[22:06]I didn't recognize

[22:07]and like I could hear them

[22:08]opening doors

[22:09]and looking around,

[22:09]I would go out there

[22:11]and I would sneak up

[22:13]behind them

[22:13]and I would say,

[22:13]I swear to God,

[22:15]if you wake up my wife,

[22:16]I'm dead.

[22:16]You need to leave

[22:18]right now.

[22:19]Okay?

[22:20]She has a big

[22:21]deadlift day tomorrow.

[22:22]Yeah,

[22:22]I know her meet's not

[22:23]for six months

[22:23]but apparently this is a big day

[22:24]where she needs a lot of sleep

[22:25]and it's actually worth...

[22:27]Is this week one,

[22:27]day three

[22:28]or is this week two,

[22:29]day one?

[22:29]It's week one,

[22:29]day three

[22:30]and it's actually worth

[22:30]breaking up

[22:31]important relationships,

[22:32]being mad about

[22:33]maybe waking people up.

[22:34]Maybe even in the morning,

[22:35]like early Saturday morning

[22:37]he thought it'd be fun

[22:37]to wake her up

[22:38]but it was not.

[22:38]It was a bad idea.

[22:39]You'd be more afraid

[22:39]of your wife waking up

[22:40]than you would be

[22:41]of the cat burglar.

[22:42]Oh,

[22:43]please.

[22:44]I'd be out there.

[22:44]I'd be like,

[22:45]yeah,

[22:45]let's...

[22:46]Hey,

[22:46]do you want to play

[22:46]some video games together?

[22:47]Like,

[22:47]I'm dying here.

[22:48]Let's hang out.

[22:49]Do you think the Giants

[22:51]are going to cover

[22:52]plus seven and a half?

[22:52]They're in London

[22:53]so you got to think about it.

[22:54]What's the last scary song

[22:55]on the Halloween list?

[22:56]Russell,

[22:57]you say

[22:58]the last scary song.

[22:59]Okay?

[23:00]This is actually

[23:01]the biggest scariest song.

[23:03]This is number one.

[23:04]So you kind of made it sound

[23:05]like maybe the list

[23:06]we're going backwards.

[23:06]We're not.

[23:07]We're actually going

[23:07]towards number one

[23:08]which is strange

[23:09]for this podcast.

[23:09]Normally we're going

[23:10]the other way.

[23:11]You're saying this list

[23:14]has been getting better

[23:14]and this list supersedes

[23:15]all of their years.

[23:16]So all of their years

[23:17]are now no longer

[23:18]the top six scariest songs.

[23:19]These are the six scariest songs

[23:21]of 2022.

[23:22]And of course

[23:23]the number one scary song

[23:25]for the third year in a row.

[23:27]I want candy.

[23:29]There is nothing scarier

[23:31]than when your kids

[23:32]come home

[23:32]after eating a bunch

[23:33]of Halloween candy.

[23:34]Tonight,

[23:34]I always say

[23:36]the real monsters

[23:37]come out after my kids

[23:38]eat the candy.

[23:38]Okay?

[23:39]So that's one you can use.

[23:40]My kids are absolute nightmares

[23:42]the day after

[23:43]the day

[23:44]after the day

[23:44]of Halloween.

[23:44]They are terrors

[23:45]because they're all

[23:46]juiced up on sugar.

[23:47]So guys,

[23:48]that was a scary song.

[23:49]That was fantastic.

[23:51]Very scary.

[23:52]Never expected

[23:52]that to come up

[23:54]from that voicemail.

[23:55]It was so nice

[23:56]that we got a voicemail

[23:57]about that

[23:57]to prompt the list.

[23:58]Just glad that

[24:00]Kirsten and Little Rosie

[24:02]finally took like

[24:03]a week off

[24:04]and stopped calling in

[24:05]all the time.

[24:05]Oh, I mean,

[24:06]they probably,

[24:07]you know,

[24:07]we have a problem.

[24:07]Our voicemail is full.

[24:08]I got to go through

[24:09]and empty some.

[24:09]So that's going to happen.

[24:11]It's tough stuff.

[24:12]Listen,

[24:13]let's get into

[24:14]everybody's favorite

[24:15]part of the show.

[24:15]It's rolling going.

[24:16]Rolling going.

[24:16]Oh, all right.

[24:18]And for those of you

[24:20]at home,

[24:20]yes,

[24:20]we haven't started yet.

[24:21]It's time for

[24:23]rolling going.

[24:24]We've almost started

[24:25]the podcast.

[24:26]Oh, yeah.

[24:28]Ah, rolling going.

[24:29]Rossell,

[24:30]you've recovered

[24:30]from the scary songs.

[24:32]What's up?

[24:33]A lot of things

[24:33]are going on.

[24:34]I had a few sports,

[24:35]live sports events

[24:37]that I went to.

[24:37]I also had a few

[24:38]music events.

[24:38]What should we start with?

[24:39]Live sports

[24:40]or live music?

[24:41]Let's do the sports.

[24:44]Oh, sports.

[24:45]Sports.

[24:46]I'm in sports.

[24:46]All right.

[24:48]Live sports.

[24:49]I'm with Aaron.

[24:49]Sports, sports, sports, sports, sports.

[24:51]Yeah, music.

[24:53]Who cares about that?

[24:53]So the other night

[24:54]I went to a high school

[24:55]football game live.

[24:56]I went and watched

[24:57]one of our good friends

[24:58]who likes to listen

[24:59]to my voice in the shower

[25:00]when he's showering

[25:01]in the morning.

[25:02]He had a big game

[25:03]kind of over

[25:04]in the Minneapolis area

[25:05]at Bloomington,

[25:06]Jefferson.

[25:07]We watched the game

[25:08]and the game was fun

[25:09]and everything.

[25:10]It didn't go our coaches

[25:11]and our team's way,

[25:12]but our coaches

[25:13]are doing a great job.

[25:14]But it actually,

[25:15]there was some music

[25:16]that came along with it

[25:17]and had to do

[25:18]with the marching band.

[25:19]It was halftime.

[25:20]Love this.

[25:21]And so they played Abba

[25:23]for the two songs

[25:24]during halftime

[25:25]of the marching band.

[25:26]What do you think of Abba

[25:27]as halftime music

[25:28]for a marching band

[25:29]at a football game?

[25:30]Absolutely fantastic.

[25:32]Did they play Dancing Queen?

[25:34]They played

[25:34]Mamma Mia and Dancing Queen

[25:36]were the two songs

[25:37]that I jotted down

[25:38]in my notes.

[25:38]As long as they play

[25:39]Dancing Queen, I'm in.

[25:40]You know what I would want?

[25:42]How about

[25:44]what about this song?

[25:44]This would be a great

[25:46]marching band song,

[25:46]wouldn't it?

[25:47]Waterloo?

[25:49]Yep.

[25:50]Okay.

[25:50]Yep.

[25:50]Good drums.

[25:52]Who's laying down the...

[25:54]I'll give you a hint.

[25:56]It's a big, huge blonde guy.

[25:58]No, it's great.

[26:00]I was just trying to figure

[26:01]who's laying down

[26:01]the rhythm guitar.

[26:02]If it's the trombones

[26:03]or...

[26:04]Aaron, you were in

[26:05]the marching band.

[26:06]Did you have any favorite songs

[26:07]like pop songs

[26:08]that you guys did

[26:08]when you were in band?

[26:09]No, we were kind of highbrow.

[26:12]So we never did...

[26:14]We never did pop songs

[26:14]for the marching band.

[26:15]We did...

[26:16]It was always like

[26:17]something that was arranged

[26:17]by St. Olaf Graduate.

[26:18]John Williams or something?

[26:19]No, it wasn't.

[26:20]Not even that?

[26:21]Pretty frequently we did...

[26:21]Pretty frequently we did

[26:23]exclusive arrangements

[26:26]by St. Olaf Graduate

[26:27]Travis Cross,

[26:28]who's now at, I believe,

[26:29]Northwestern University.

[26:30]I actually have a recording

[26:31]of Aaron in the marching band.

[26:32]Do you want to hear the song

[26:33]you play?

[26:33]Listen to this.

[26:33]I don't know.

[26:37]It's almost too highbrow.

[26:39]You know what I mean?

[26:39]Like, I feel like...

[26:41]A little pretentious.

[26:41]No, I think...

[26:42]I can't remember.

[26:42]Yeah.

[26:43]I feel like

[26:44]we might have done

[26:44]Lincoln Shirt Posey.

[26:45]That sticks out,

[26:46]but I don't remember

[26:47]if we actually played that

[26:48]if we were good enough or not.

[26:49]But no,

[26:50]but I do remember

[26:51]there was like

[26:52]the slow tune.

[26:53]There was a slow song

[26:54]where we had a big moment,

[26:55]us trombones,

[26:57]where we were

[26:58]burying the bones somewhere

[26:59]and we got to turn around

[27:00]and point our bells

[27:01]right at the press box

[27:02]and have a big loud moment.

[27:03]And it went...

[27:05]That's all I remember.

[27:09]And you showed them.

[27:10]Yeah, you showed them.

[27:11]Russell, what are you doing

[27:12]asking them these questions?

[27:13]Well,

[27:14]every time.

[27:14]Every time.

[27:15]Well, you know what?

[27:16]Maybe we need more sports

[27:17]on this podcast.

[27:18]We turned that into music.

[27:19]The next one is just sports.

[27:20]So one of my new favorite sports...

[27:23]Yes.

[27:23]One of my new favorite

[27:25]sporting events to go to,

[27:26]I talked about it last year,

[27:27]is the Twin Cities Marathon.

[27:29]Not running that damn thing.

[27:30]It's way too long.

[27:31]I still go cheer people on.

[27:33]And so I went,

[27:34]and my sister the other day

[27:35]was running the 10 mile.

[27:36]So I'm sitting out there

[27:38]and they have the cool app

[27:39]where you can see

[27:40]when people are coming.

[27:41]And my sister's coming through

[27:43]and she's like,

[27:44]and about a minute or two

[27:45]before my sister comes through,

[27:46]who comes running through?

[27:48]But my co-host, Matt.

[27:50]Matt comes running through,

[27:51]big smile on his face,

[27:53]comes up,

[27:53]gives me a high five.

[27:55]Matt, you were looking great.

[27:56]I was curious

[27:57]how the race goes for you.

[27:58]10 miles is my stride.

[28:01]Marathon, way too long.

[28:04]Half marathon,

[28:04]that's probably a good challenge.

[28:06]10 mile,

[28:07]that was pretty darn good.

[28:08]So I can handle that.

[28:09]When I was running up,

[28:11]I mean,

[28:12]you were with somebody else

[28:13]and I couldn't tell

[28:14]who it is at all.

[28:15]I've never seen that person.

[28:16]Never seen that person.

[28:17]Distance runner.

[28:18]Yeah.

[28:18]So I,

[28:20]they like reached out

[28:22]to give me a high five,

[28:22]but I don't know who that is.

[28:23]I don't know what kind of germs I got.

[28:25]I'm not giving them a high five, right?

[28:26]To be fair, Matt,

[28:27]the distance runner

[28:28]may have mentioned

[28:29]that they did not get

[28:30]a high five from you.

[28:31]So I'll just,

[28:32]I'll just put it out there.

[28:33]I don't know who they are.

[28:34]That's true.

[28:34]I've never met them.

[28:36]I don't know who they are or anything.

[28:38]They're probably like,

[28:39]well, in about six months,

[28:40]they might give me a high five.

[28:41]We'll see.

[28:41]Things seem to tend to happen.

[28:44]They're really slow.

[28:44]So we'll see.

[28:45]Really slow playing.

[28:47]I suppose if I saw that person

[28:49]in Home Depot,

[28:50]I might hold their hand,

[28:51]but I'm not going to give them

[28:52]a high five on a race.

[28:52]The sun was out.

[28:53]The sun was out.

[28:54]It's true.

[28:55]But you had a good race, Matt.

[28:56]Matt, you had a big smile

[28:57]on your face

[28:57]when you came rolling through.

[28:58]It looked like you were running well.

[28:59]I had no idea you were going to be there.

[29:00]Did you know that I was running that?

[29:02]I did not know you were running it.

[29:03]I went to see my sister

[29:04]and I didn't even think

[29:05]about asking you

[29:06]if you were running.

[29:07]Because when I,

[29:07]when I looked

[29:08]and I was kind of coming

[29:10]and I could see you

[29:11]in the distance, right?

[29:12]And I'm like,

[29:12]well, there's Russell.

[29:13]That's, you know, that's funny.

[29:14]And I came running up

[29:15]and you had like no clue.

[29:17]I was not ready for it.

[29:18]Yeah, you were not ready for it.

[29:20]It was kind of,

[29:20]it was kind of fun.

[29:21]So, but it was good.

[29:22]So enough of this sports talk.

[29:24]I also had a couple

[29:25]of live music adventures

[29:26]over the last week.

[29:27]Man, I've got a lot

[29:28]of stuff going on.

[29:29]Another one.

[29:30]So Matt talked about

[29:31]the Troubadour Wine Bar

[29:32]the other day.

[29:33]I had to follow up

[29:34]Matt's recommendation.

[29:35]I went back to the

[29:36]Troubadour Wine Bar

[29:37]and you know what?

[29:38]They had a live

[29:39]solo acoustic

[29:41]guitar player

[29:41]and he had his Venmo up.

[29:43]So I made some Venmo requests.

[29:44]Was it Ray?

[29:44]Oh my God.

[29:46]Let's do some Venmo receipts.

[29:48]Okay.

[29:49]Was it Ray?

[29:49]Was it the guy that I saw?

[29:50]It was not Ray.

[29:51]It was a guy named Robert Briggs.

[29:53]He was actually

[29:53]a second grade teacher.

[29:55]He said there wasn't

[29:56]that many people in there.

[29:56]So he was very communicating

[29:58]with the audience

[29:59]and everything.

[29:59]And I got to say,

[30:00]I don't know if we talked

[30:01]about this last time,

[30:01]but this is a fantastic wine bar.

[30:04]When you walk in,

[30:05]they invite you in.

[30:06]They kind of show you

[30:06]where you can sit.

[30:07]They tell you about

[30:08]the wine on the menu.

[30:09]They just do a great job.

[30:10]I would highly,

[30:11]highly recommend it.

[30:11]Yeah.

[30:12]But are we ready

[30:14]to go through

[30:14]my Venmo request list?

[30:16]Oh boy.

[30:16]I'm always ready.

[30:17]Always ready.

[30:18]I've got to come up

[30:23]with a theme for the Venmo.

[30:25]This will do for today,

[30:26]but.

[30:26]All right.

[30:28]My first request

[30:29]is acoustic guitar player.

[30:31]So I go with,

[30:32]and I'm giving them options.

[30:33]It's my new thing

[30:34]to give options

[30:35]so they can't say no.

[30:36]I give them

[30:37]Neil Young,

[30:38]George Strait Troubadour,

[30:39]the band,

[30:40]the world,

[30:41]the weight,

[30:41]or R.E.M.

[30:42]Pretty good request,

[30:45]right?

[30:46]Wow.

[30:47]They definitely played

[30:50]Neil Young.

[30:50]He played Neil Young.

[30:52]He played Old Man,

[30:53]which was an absolute killer.

[30:54]I was pumped about it.

[30:56]Oh, nice.

[30:56]Yeah, that's pretty good.

[30:57]That song makes Aaron flinch

[30:58]when he hears it

[30:59]because he remembers

[30:59]the parody song about it.

[31:01]That was not only

[31:03]devastated, dude,

[31:03]but it was also like

[31:04]10 minutes long.

[31:05]By the way,

[31:06]I was going to say

[31:08]my Venmo started

[31:09]a little earlier in the night.

[31:10]That was at

[31:10]8.33.

[31:11]I've started to move

[31:12]my Venmo requests

[31:13]before midnight,

[31:14]so I think that's

[31:15]a good way to go.

[31:16]My next request,

[31:18]8.59.

[31:18]Here are my requests.

[31:20]David Bowie,

[31:21]Life on Mars,

[31:22]or something else.

[31:24]Oh, wow.

[31:24]Oh, that's a good one.

[31:25]Elvis, Suspicious Minds,

[31:26]or something else,

[31:27]or Van Morrison.

[31:28]Suspicious Minds.

[31:29]Van Morrison.

[31:30]Oh, okay.

[31:31]I'm going to say

[31:32]he went with

[31:32]Suspicious Minds.

[31:33]I think I did, too.

[31:34]I'll say Van.

[31:35]I'm going to go with Van.

[31:36]I'm going to go

[31:36]Suspicious Minds, too.

[31:37]That's what I'm hoping for.

[31:38]Matt was correct.

[31:39]It was Van Morrison.

[31:40]I think it was

[31:40]Brown Eyed Girl,

[31:41]if I remember correctly.

[31:42]Oh, what a...

[31:43]How good would it be

[31:45]if he played...

[31:46]What's that song?

[31:46]What's my number three

[31:47]top pop song of all time?

[31:48]Sweetest Thing.

[31:49]I knew that.

[31:50]Oh, yeah.

[31:52]So, a few minutes later,

[31:54]9.10,

[31:55]I go for another request

[31:56]because there's no one

[31:57]else making requests,

[31:58]and I'm like,

[31:58]this guy's doing a great job.

[32:00]I want to keep it going, right?

[32:01]We're kicking.

[32:01]Russell's getting

[32:02]this gig economy going.

[32:03]And to be fair,

[32:04]he started playing

[32:04]some of his own songs.

[32:06]What do you guys think of that

[32:07]when you're at a...

[32:08]Maybe you guys like that.

[32:09]Do you like when

[32:10]you're at some sort of bar

[32:11]and they're playing

[32:12]a lot of covers

[32:13]and then they start playing

[32:13]their own songs?

[32:15]What do you think?

[32:15]Normally, I don't,

[32:16]but when I was there,

[32:17]Ray, and I think it's...

[32:19]And I wish I remembered his name.

[32:20]I think we follow him now

[32:22]on Instagram

[32:24]because I put a reel up

[32:26]and then he liked it,

[32:28]so I think we follow him now.

[32:29]But he was playing

[32:30]all his own music

[32:31]and it was like the first time

[32:32]and I'm like,

[32:33]well, you know,

[32:33]because then he was like,

[32:35]look, you guys do your thing.

[32:36]You talk.

[32:37]You're here on dates.

[32:38]You talk, all that.

[32:39]I'm here.

[32:40]Listen.

[32:40]Great.

[32:41]And everybody's clapping for me.

[32:42]He's done.

[32:42]He thought it was

[32:43]the greatest thing.

[32:43]So I respected that

[32:45]because he was playing

[32:45]his own stuff,

[32:46]but he's also like,

[32:47]you don't need to be

[32:47]just looking at me.

[32:48]I'm just here

[32:49]for the ambiance, too.

[32:50]And I thought it was great.

[32:51]So I enjoyed Ray

[32:53]playing his own original music.

[32:54]And also,

[32:55]the guy who Venmo'd me

[32:56]four requests,

[32:56]please back off a little bit,

[32:58]okay?

[32:58]Give other people time.

[32:59]You only waited 12 minutes.

[33:00]That is actually going to

[33:01]come up here in a second.

[33:02]So then again,

[33:06]I believe,

[33:07]I don't know if it was

[33:07]8.59 or 8.33,

[33:08]but I come back again

[33:10]I'm coming back again

[33:11]9.10 p.m.

[33:12]I come back with another one.

[33:13]Paul Simon,

[33:15]40 minutes,

[33:16]Amy Winehouse,

[33:17]Green Day,

[33:18]or Weezer?

[33:19]Jesus.

[33:20]Wow.

[33:21]What a list.

[33:22]Could this person sing?

[33:23]Had to have played Weezer.

[33:24]You can't play Weezer.

[33:25]You can't play Winehouse

[33:25]unless you can sing.

[33:26]You can't play Winehouse.

[33:27]What was the other one?

[33:28]Winehouse, Weezer?

[33:29]They went Paul Simon.

[33:30]If they did Neil Younger

[33:32]to do Paul Simon.

[33:32]Rob, you got a guess?

[33:33]What was it?

[33:34]Paul Simon, Weezer,

[33:35]Amy Winehouse, and what?

[33:36]Green Day.

[33:36]I'll say Green Day.

[33:38]Time of your life.

[33:40]Time of your life.

[33:40]Technically, you guys are all right.

[33:41]This is where this guy showed

[33:43]he was a champion.

[33:43]He looks at me

[33:44]and he knows it's me

[33:45]and he goes,

[33:45]you know what?

[33:46]I can do all of these.

[33:47]I got all four of them for you.

[33:49]Oh, wow.

[33:50]So he cranks out

[33:51]The Sound of Silence

[33:52]by Simon and Garfunkel.

[33:54]Wow.

[33:55]He cranks out Rehab

[33:56]by Amy Winehouse.

[33:59]Really?

[34:00]Good riddance.

[34:01]Is that the acoustic

[34:02]Green Day song?

[34:03]Mm-hmm.

[34:03]Acoustic.

[34:04]And then he played

[34:05]one of the Weezer songs.

[34:06]I forgot to jot it down,

[34:07]but he cranked out

[34:08]all four of my requests

[34:10]right back to back to back.

[34:11]Yeah.

[34:12]It was fantastic.

[34:12]And then he looks back

[34:14]and Russell's dressed

[34:14]just like him

[34:15]and has a wig on.

[34:16]Okay, well,

[34:17]I'm going to head out early, actually.

[34:18]I'm not driving

[34:20]a brown Miata, please.

[34:21]I'm not driving

[34:22]a brown Miata.

[34:22]And then he walked in

[34:24]on me in the bathroom

[34:24]and there was a disco ball

[34:26]and I was listening

[34:27]to One by Metallica

[34:28]and he was like,

[34:28]nope, I'm out of here.

[34:29]And then Russell...

[34:31]I've already locked

[34:32]the little window.

[34:32]He said,

[34:33]you could do that standing up.

[34:34]I said,

[34:35]then Russell invited him

[34:36]to meet us in Las Vegas

[34:37]in January 2023.

[34:38]Yeah, exactly.

[34:39]So after...

[34:40]After this guy cranks out

[34:41]all these things,

[34:41]there's not a ton of people there

[34:42]and he looks at...

[34:43]And he goes,

[34:44]hey, you know what?

[34:44]You're killing it.

[34:45]Thank you.

[34:46]Like, I appreciate it.

[34:47]You can just shout stuff out.

[34:48]You don't have to always

[34:49]request it through Venmo.

[34:50]He's just like,

[34:51]if you want,

[34:51]just pick what you want

[34:52]and holler at me

[34:53]and I'll try to play it.

[34:54]So I was like,

[34:54]oh, that's awesome.

[34:55]Then I was like,

[34:55]okay, a few more people came in.

[34:57]They started throwing out

[34:58]some stuff.

[34:58]Someone requested

[34:59]like The Cure

[35:00]and was requesting

[35:01]like British bands.

[35:02]I'm like,

[35:02]what do you think

[35:02]he's going to do with that?

[35:03]He can't do that, right?

[35:04]So did you yell out

[35:05]for Whipping Post?

[35:06]I yelled...

[35:07]I did not yell Whipping Post.

[35:08]But at one point,

[35:10]I did yell out

[35:11]James Taylor.

[35:12]I'm like,

[35:12]he's an acoustic guitar player.

[35:13]Oh, yeah.

[35:14]He said,

[35:15]I don't know any James Taylor.

[35:16]What?

[35:18]I was shocked.

[35:19]Not a single James...

[35:20]Wow.

[35:21]Isn't that for an

[35:22]acoustic guitar player?

[35:23]That's got to be like

[35:24]the biggest faux pas, right?

[35:25]Not having any James Taylor

[35:26]in your quiver.

[35:27]How do you not even know?

[35:27]Whoa.

[35:28]He doesn't even know this one.

[35:29]Do you have a friend?

[35:29]I mean,

[35:31]this is my favorite

[35:32]James Taylor song

[35:33]according to...

[35:33]where I downloaded it online

[35:36]one time off LimeWire

[35:37]at Napster.

[35:38]This is my favorite one.

[35:40]So that was my experience

[35:45]at the Troubadour.

[35:46]I highly recommend

[35:47]people go check it out.

[35:48]You can Venmo songs

[35:49]or you can just

[35:50]holler them out,

[35:50]it sounds like.

[35:51]Russell,

[35:52]you are...

[35:53]I love it, Russell.

[35:53]You are supporting the arts.

[35:55]I have one more too.

[35:56]Are we going too long?

[35:58]I can skip it and save it.

[35:59]Oh, no.

[35:59]You can never go...

[36:00]No.

[36:00]This is just like me.

[36:02]We're not too long to work.

[36:03]I love it.

[36:03]I have some random question

[36:04]and Rosie's eating something

[36:06]and had something

[36:07]to happen with his kids

[36:08]and I forgot something

[36:09]that I wrote down.

[36:10]It's not a random question.

[36:11]You're the one...

[36:11]You carry this.

[36:12]You carry this thing.

[36:13]As long as the rolling going

[36:14]is longer than the album

[36:15]we're listening to,

[36:16]we're good.

[36:16]So we're almost there.

[36:17]I have another...

[36:18]And mine is actually

[36:19]about some scary songs.

[36:20]So I don't know.

[36:20]I've run out of stuff to talk about.

[36:23]I have another musical adventure.

[36:24]Aaron and Matt,

[36:25]I think you've talked

[36:25]about this place before.

[36:26]I haven't been there

[36:27]in a long time.

[36:27]Aaron, you might...

[36:28]Some of you guys

[36:28]might have seen Snoop Dogg there.

[36:29]I went to the Caboose

[36:31]a few nights ago.

[36:32]That's Matt.

[36:33]So Matt, maybe...

[36:35]Who have you seen

[36:35]at the Caboose before?

[36:36]Have you been a few times

[36:37]or not?

[36:38]Yeah, every...

[36:40]The first weekend

[36:41]in February,

[36:42]it's right around

[36:43]Bob Marley's birthday.

[36:44]They would have

[36:45]a Bob Marley tribute concert.

[36:47]So they'd have

[36:47]two or three...

[36:48]I think it was

[36:49]the Reggae All-Stars.

[36:50]I'm trying to remember

[36:50]who they were.

[36:51]We haven't gone

[36:51]in a few years now.

[36:52]So like five or six

[36:54]or seven years in a row,

[36:55]we'd go to this

[36:56]Bob Marley tribute concert.

[36:57]Awesome.

[36:58]I saw a rapper

[37:01]come in

[37:01]and I was like,

[37:01]God, who was the rapper?

[37:02]And it was the worst thing

[37:03]I've ever seen in my life.

[37:05]What?

[37:05]Skizzy Mars.

[37:06]There was this guy

[37:07]named Skizzy Mars

[37:08]who was...

[37:08]I've never heard of that guy.

[37:09]That sounds great.

[37:10]I'm not gonna lie.

[37:11]Yeah.

[37:11]Yeah.

[37:11]But like,

[37:12]so then like,

[37:12]I hit his album

[37:13]and I loved it

[37:14]and it was great.

[37:15]And he'd get up there

[37:16]and he'd play like

[37:17]30 seconds of a song

[37:19]and then like,

[37:19]he'd get tired out

[37:20]and be like,

[37:20]all right,

[37:21]thank you very much,

[37:21]you know,

[37:22]and move on.

[37:22]And it was like

[37:22]a half hour show.

[37:23]I was like,

[37:24]this is the worst thing

[37:25]in the world.

[37:25]And then yes,

[37:26]I did see Snoop Dogg

[37:29]and Nate Dogg

[37:32]wasn't there,

[37:32]but Warren G was there.

[37:34]Yes.

[37:34]And Kevin Love

[37:35]was behind the speakers

[37:37]watching the show

[37:38]and everything.

[37:38]But yeah,

[37:39]Snoop Dogg

[37:39]at the Caboose

[37:40]was an awesome show.

[37:41]Top 10 show.

[37:42]So a few weeks ago,

[37:43]a few weeks ago,

[37:44]I had went to a Twins game

[37:45]with a Twins fan

[37:46]and afterwards we went out

[37:47]and we were getting

[37:47]some drinks at a bar

[37:49]and this Twins fan...

[37:50]Like they like Twins?

[37:51]They're like,

[37:52]you're not a Twin.

[37:53]Yeah.

[37:53]So I mean like,

[37:54]hey,

[37:54]hey,

[37:55]you got a Twin

[37:56]and then Russell comes out

[37:57]with a fake mustache?

[37:58]Oh, yes.

[37:59]My name is Roberto.

[38:02]How are you doing?

[38:03]Russ and Roy.

[38:04]Russ and Roy.

[38:05]Yeah, Russ and Roy.

[38:07]Hey,

[38:07]your brother Roy

[38:08]was just here.

[38:09]He said he was going

[38:10]to go get some lobster.

[38:11]Oh, did he?

[38:13]But wait,

[38:14]you have a lobster bib on,

[38:15]Russ.

[38:16]Wait a minute.

[38:16]So this Twins fan's friends

[38:20]came and met us

[38:21]and we'd had a few drinks

[38:22]at this point

[38:23]and so they were telling us

[38:23]they were going to go see

[38:24]this band at the Caboose

[38:25]and they were called

[38:27]Cam FDM.

[38:28]It's a German industrial band.

[38:30]They've got like metal guitar,

[38:32]electronic music,

[38:33]sampling and everything.

[38:34]And so just,

[38:35]I'll give you a song

[38:36]in a second here,

[38:37]but so that night

[38:39]I'd had a few drinks

[38:39]and I got excited about this

[38:41]and I like going to events

[38:42]and I was like,

[38:43]I want to go.

[38:43]So immediately that night

[38:45]they're like,

[38:45]well, you should,

[38:46]you guys should come with

[38:47]me and this Twins fan.

[38:48]And so I go

[38:50]and I buy tickets

[38:50]immediately that night.

[38:51]And then the next morning

[38:53]I'm like,

[38:53]what the fuck?

[38:54]I don't want to go

[38:55]to this German industrial band.

[38:55]So do you guys ever do that?

[38:58]And then what do you do?

[38:59]Do you go or do you not go?

[39:01]What do you do?

[39:01]It's a sunk cost.

[39:02]I've already paid.

[39:03]Do you go or not go?

[39:04]You guys,

[39:06]you guys are the,

[39:07]I send text messages

[39:09]to you guys all the time.

[39:09]Like,

[39:10]do I go see Pavement

[39:12]as a show?

[39:13]And you're all like,

[39:14]yes.

[39:14]And then it gets to be about

[39:15]830,

[39:16]just like this damn podcast.

[39:17]It gets to be about 830

[39:18]and I'm like,

[39:19]oh,

[39:19]there's nothing I want to do

[39:20]more than to go to bed

[39:22]right now,

[39:23]get my crossword,

[39:24]hop in the wrapper,

[39:25]fall asleep,

[39:26]right?

[39:27]That sounds more,

[39:27]so I chicken out.

[39:28]So I have learned

[39:30]to not buy tickets

[39:31]because in the past

[39:33]I would have bought tickets

[39:33]months ago

[39:34]and then I would have

[39:35]like had to gone

[39:36]and you go

[39:37]and it's the greatest thing

[39:38]in the world,

[39:38]right?

[39:38]But I just don't buy

[39:39]the tickets anymore

[39:40]because I can't stand

[39:42]the thought of it

[39:43]when it's like,

[39:43]yeah,

[39:43]looking at like having to go.

[39:45]So,

[39:45]yeah.

[39:46]I did go to a Lizzo show

[39:48]and she was started at 930

[39:50]and I was like,

[39:51]oh man,

[39:53]I was like,

[39:53]this is so late.

[39:54]I was like,

[39:55]this is,

[39:55]this is crazy.

[39:56]And tonight we started

[39:58]your podcast at 1130.

[39:59]My thing is,

[40:00]what I'm wondering is,

[40:01]so it seems like

[40:02]you've met some of this

[40:04]Twins fans friends.

[40:05]I'm wondering if this Twins fan

[40:07]would like to meet

[40:07]any of your friends.

[40:08]I'm just wondering if like

[40:09]their friends

[40:11]get with your friends

[40:13]and then you go

[40:14]call your crew.

[40:14]I'll go grab my crew.

[40:16]We can rendezvous

[40:17]at the bar around two.

[40:18]Last time,

[40:19]last time my crew

[40:20]didn't give them a high five.

[40:21]So I probably won't do that.

[40:25]I don't know where

[40:26]that hand has been.

[40:27]Oh no.

[40:28]So anyway,

[40:29]so then I forget about

[40:30]this concert completely,

[40:31]right?

[40:32]Like I,

[40:32]I didn't even think

[40:33]about it.

[40:33]It might be covered in bug spray.

[40:34]You don't know.

[40:35]Right.

[40:36]That D you've heard

[40:39]about deep,

[40:40]right?

[40:40]I mean,

[40:40]you know that the hand

[40:43]has not been in Russell's hand.

[40:44]There's

[40:44]so I forget about

[40:48]this concert completely.

[40:49]And then it comes up

[40:50]like the day before,

[40:52]Hey,

[40:52]we have tickets to this.

[40:53]And I was kind of thinking,

[40:54]well,

[40:55]maybe they'll just forget.

[40:55]And we don't even have to go

[40:57]because at this point,

[40:58]I don't really care about going,

[41:00]but I don't want to like

[41:01]insult other people

[41:03]when you've told them,

[41:03]Hey,

[41:03]you're excited about going

[41:05]to something with them.

[41:05]You can't just bail,

[41:06]right?

[41:07]No,

[41:08]no.

[41:09]Yeah.

[41:09]Yeah.

[41:09]Once,

[41:10]once you got plans

[41:11]and you,

[41:11]you know,

[41:12]and,

[41:12]and once you start bailing

[41:13]and you became known

[41:14]as a bailer

[41:15]and you're all of a sudden

[41:15]Bob Marley and the bailers,

[41:17]you cannot shake that.

[41:19]Like it's,

[41:20]it's,

[41:20]and then people just stop

[41:21]inviting you to fun stuff.

[41:22]You got to go.

[41:22]It's a,

[41:23]it's the prisoner

[41:24]of being a cool guy,

[41:25]Russell.

[41:25]Trust me,

[41:26]lock me up,

[41:27]throw away the key.

[41:27]So I invited someone

[41:28]who was into German

[41:30]techno electronic music

[41:32]and we went and checked it out.

[41:32]Rob,

[41:33]I actually gave you a song.

[41:34]This is off their new album.

[41:35]The song's called Hyena.

[41:36]I gave you guys a sample of it.

[41:37]I should say the hype,

[41:40]the E in Hyena

[41:40]is an umlaut as well.

[41:42]How was it live?

[41:46]Because that's a tight,

[41:47]that's a tight venue

[41:48]and they've got great sound.

[41:50]So I can imagine

[41:51]this would be awesome.

[41:52]It actually was a great show.

[41:53]I got to say,

[41:54]people were really into it.

[41:55]I kind of found a spot

[41:56]at the corner of the bar.

[41:57]I wasn't right in the middle

[41:58]where everyone was,

[41:59]you know,

[42:00]moshing and going crazy

[42:02]and everything,

[42:02]but they put on a great show.

[42:04]There was some kind

[42:04]of strange stuff.

[42:05]They had a electric guitar player

[42:07]that was just thrashing.

[42:08]They had a drummer

[42:09]and then they had

[42:09]the guy up there

[42:11]who's messing with,

[42:12]I don't know if,

[42:13]like the board.

[42:15]I don't even know

[42:15]what he's got up there,

[42:16]but it's all just

[42:17]electronic music, right?

[42:18]So he's up there

[42:19]and then they've got a lady

[42:20]who's standing at a podium

[42:22]and she would just sing

[42:23]once in a while.

[42:24]So it was just

[42:25]kind of a weird vibe.

[42:26]I don't even know

[42:27]how to describe it.

[42:28]When they told me

[42:29]it was a German band

[42:29]at first,

[42:30]I was like,

[42:30]oh, this is going to be

[42:31]like Rammstein

[42:32]or something like that,

[42:33]but it was more

[42:34]electronic than that,

[42:34]but I got to say,

[42:35]Matt, you're right.

[42:37]You've got to go

[42:38]because you're always

[42:39]going to have fun.

[42:40]Once you're there,

[42:41]it's the greatest thing

[42:43]in the world, right?

[42:43]It's the act of getting there

[42:45]that's the toughest.

[42:46]You got to talk yourself

[42:48]into it.

[42:48]I've got a joke

[42:52]that's going to kill

[42:52]this whole thing, Russell,

[42:53]so if you want to know,

[42:54]feel free.

[42:55]I have been interested.

[42:57]You make me interested

[42:58]in German music.

[42:59]I wonder if there's

[42:59]any German jazz

[43:00]where they scat and stuff,

[43:01]so I'm going to type in

[43:02]German scat videos

[43:04]on Bing.

[43:05]I'm going to see

[43:06]if anything comes up.

[43:06]Hey, while you're

[43:08]searching for that,

[43:09]Aaron, rolling, going,

[43:09]how's it going with you?

[43:10]He's the scat mensch.

[43:12]Interesting.

[43:13]Man, it's really going great.

[43:15]As usual,

[43:16]I got a lot of thoughts

[43:17]in my head,

[43:17]a lot going on.

[43:18]So the first thing is

[43:21]I engaged on social media

[43:24]yesterday,

[43:25]and I replied to a tweet

[43:27]Did she respond

[43:27]to your engagement

[43:28]or not, your proposal?

[43:29]And so far,

[43:30]this is the most likes

[43:33]I've ever gotten on a tweet.

[43:33]I think I have close

[43:34]to 100 likes on this tweet.

[43:35]The problem is I just,

[43:36]I don't have anything

[43:37]to promote.

[43:38]I don't really know.

[43:39]No.

[43:40]I've got all these people

[43:42]following,

[43:42]liking this tweet

[43:45]on social media,

[43:46]and I just,

[43:46]I don't have anything

[43:47]to promote.

[43:47]What was the tweet?

[43:48]It was a joke

[43:52]about MAGA

[43:54]and, you know,

[43:55]US WNT fans

[43:56]and I joked

[43:57]that this lady

[43:58]was probably

[43:58]a Hope Solo fan.

[43:59]It's a niche

[44:00]kind of a joke,

[44:00]but...

[44:01]Jesus Christ.

[44:02]Laying it out there,

[44:06]yeah.

[44:07]And you're worrying

[44:10]about promoting

[44:10]something on that?

[44:11]Don't worry.

[44:12]Wouldn't stress about

[44:14]what you're going

[44:15]to promote.

[44:15]Aaron, you should have

[44:16]like a little...

[44:16]The joke was

[44:17]I'm on a podcast

[44:18]and I didn't promote

[44:19]the podcast.

[44:19]That was the joke.

[44:20]Aaron, you should have

[44:21]like a little...

[44:21]Please don't after that.

[44:22]You should have a person

[44:23]who just follows you

[44:24]around everywhere

[44:24]and then,

[44:25]like, every 12 minutes

[44:26]they would just say,

[44:27]well, that was

[44:27]a niche comment.

[44:28]I guess that's true.

[44:31]That's true.

[44:31]Well, another niche

[44:33]that our podcast

[44:33]has dabbled in...

[44:34]Did you start, like,

[44:35]where do you...

[44:35]I don't know,

[44:36]do you guys use Facebook

[44:37]or Twitter and that stuff a lot?

[44:38]Were you, Aaron,

[44:39]were you looking, like,

[44:39]every 10 minutes

[44:40]to see if you had more likes

[44:41]than you get into, like,

[44:42]seeing how it was

[44:43]No, you know what happened

[44:44]is I didn't know

[44:46]that I had...

[44:47]No one's ever liked

[44:48]any of my tweets before.

[44:49]I didn't know

[44:49]that I have notifications

[44:50]for likes.

[44:52]Are you serious?

[44:55]Oh, boy.

[44:55]That's the saddest thing

[44:57]I've heard in my entire life.

[44:58]I'm like,

[44:59]I'm getting...

[45:00]I was like,

[45:00]oh, I didn't know

[45:01]I had notifications

[45:01]on for Twitter.

[45:02]Like, all these people

[45:03]are liking my tweet.

[45:04]That's great.

[45:04]Oh, my God.

[45:05]But I had nothing.

[45:06]I had nothing

[45:06]I could share with them

[45:07]to promote.

[45:07]No SoundCloud, nothing.

[45:08]He's tweeted out

[45:10]into the world

[45:10]and never gotten

[45:11]a single like.

[45:12]So is this

[45:13]our fourth sweet, Aaron?

[45:14]Is this going to prompt you

[45:15]to do more tweets now, Aaron?

[45:16]Now are you excited

[45:17]because the people

[45:18]want more, Aaron?

[45:19]They want more niche content?

[45:20]Obviously, right.

[45:20]I got to give them

[45:21]what they want, right?

[45:25]I had a great one

[45:25]about Michael Jackson

[45:26]being a furry, okay?

[45:27]And it goes like this.

[45:29]Dr. Conrad Murray,

[45:29]do you want your mama's milk?

[45:31]I want any milk.

[45:32]I'm a cat.

[45:33]And then at the end,

[45:35]you play this.

[45:35]I don't know how

[45:36]this would get in there.

[45:37]I think you'd have to attach,

[45:41]maybe attach it.

[45:42]And then at the end,

[45:44]say Beck did it better.

[45:45]But that is the funny thing

[45:47]about Twitter, though, right?

[45:48]I mean, like,

[45:49]everybody can have a Twitter.

[45:50]Everybody can tweet.

[45:52]Everybody can follow.

[45:53]They can read

[45:53]all that stuff.

[45:55]But 99.8% of people

[45:58]with Twitter,

[45:59]if they post something,

[46:00]they might get 10 likes, right?

[46:02]Yet they still feel like

[46:04]they need to throw

[46:04]their opinion out in the world.

[46:06]And they still need to

[46:07]throw it out in the world.

[46:08]You know,

[46:08]that's what I don't get

[46:10]about the Twitter.

[46:11]And maybe people just use it

[46:12]to follow, like, news

[46:13]or whatever.

[46:14]I don't know.

[46:14]But if anybody actually tweets,

[46:16]I don't think, yeah.

[46:18]I've entered a very sad

[46:20]part of Twitter,

[46:20]which is sports betting Twitter.

[46:22]Where everybody's like,

[46:24]like,

[46:25]I engage with somebody

[46:26]on a post,

[46:27]will Matt Ryan,

[46:28]it's like something like,

[46:30]will Matt Ryan

[46:30]get three yards rushing?

[46:31]And then there's like

[46:32]20 replies.

[46:33]Do we play NFL music

[46:34]for this?

[46:34]No, it's actually really sad.

[46:37]Here we go.

[46:37]Which was the worst NFL game

[46:41]in the history of NFL games.

[46:43]People are like,

[46:43]he's not going to get three yards.

[46:44]And a lot of people are like,

[46:45]he is going to get three yards

[46:46]and here's why.

[46:47]And I was like,

[46:47]this is so stupid.

[46:49]And I'm reading

[46:49]every comment on this thread.

[46:51]Actually, the best thing I do

[46:52]on Twitter

[46:53]is I follow

[46:54]the Twins account

[46:55]and every time they post

[46:56]something about Torrey Hunter,

[46:57]I mention that he was

[46:58]a raging homophobe.

[46:59]I'm like,

[47:01]oh, he's also a raging homophobe

[47:02]every time.

[47:03]It's a sickness I have.

[47:05]I cannot help it.

[47:06]It's so bad of me.

[47:08]We've talked briefly.

[47:10]We've talked about it.

[47:10]Like I knew more about

[47:12]this girl from high school

[47:14]that I graduated with, right?

[47:16]I was good friends there,

[47:17]all this stuff.

[47:17]Hadn't really talked

[47:18]to her since high school.

[47:19]I knew more about

[47:21]what her kids were doing

[47:22]on a day-to-day basis

[47:23]because of Instagram

[47:24]or Twitter

[47:25]or one of those things.

[47:26]And then one year

[47:27]we were going to Vegas,

[47:28]which we'll be in Vegas again

[47:30]on January 14th, 2023.

[47:32]January 14th, 2023.

[47:33]And so I was going to Vegas

[47:35]and it was one of the times

[47:36]where it was like

[47:37]my phone was dying

[47:38]every like three hours.

[47:39]So it's time to get a new phone.

[47:40]And I'm like,

[47:41]I gotta get a new phone

[47:42]before going to Vegas.

[47:43]And so I got a new phone

[47:45]and they asked the question,

[47:46]do you want to put these apps

[47:47]back on your phone?

[47:48]And I just literally said,

[47:50]nope,

[47:50]to all the social media.

[47:51]And it's been the greatest thing

[47:53]I've ever done

[47:53]in my life.

[47:55]From a product.

[47:55]Yeah.

[47:56]It's been great.

[47:57]I can't,

[47:58]I can't even imagine.

[47:59]I've got so many thoughts

[48:00]about Tori Hunter

[48:01]that I gotta get out there.

[48:02]Engaged on some social media.

[48:04]There's two other things

[48:05]happening with me this week.

[48:06]One,

[48:06]I had a really hard time

[48:08]listening to any of the albums

[48:09]we're supposed to listen to

[48:10]because there's too much

[48:11]good rap music this week.

[48:12]There's new Freddie Gibbs.

[48:13]There's new Boldy James.

[48:14]There's a Billy Woods album.

[48:15]It's all great.

[48:16]Get out there and listen to it.

[48:17]And finally,

[48:18]I wanted to give an update

[48:19]on Spluting,

[48:21]which I know is a niche

[48:23]that this,

[48:23]yeah,

[48:24]yeah.

[48:25]We were out for a walk

[48:26]yesterday

[48:27]and a squirrel

[48:28]was walking with us

[48:30]next on this retaining wall

[48:31]next to us.

[48:32]And this squirrel

[48:34]had like a really large

[48:37]visible nut sack.

[48:38]Like I didn't know

[48:39]that squirrels had big balls.

[48:41]Like it was right at

[48:42]eye level.

[48:43]Squirrels love nuts.

[48:43]I need to point out

[48:44]for a lot of this podcast,

[48:45]Matt has been kind of

[48:46]looking around

[48:47]and we are,

[48:48]all three of us

[48:49]are dialed into this story.

[48:50]We are looking at Aaron

[48:51]so intently.

[48:52]Yeah.

[48:53]So I didn't know

[48:54]that there was

[48:55]that squirrels had

[48:56]big balls like this.

[48:56]So Anna says to me,

[48:58]you got to tell you guys

[48:59]on the podcast

[48:59]that that's big balls.

[49:01]That's why the squirrels

[49:02]were spluting

[49:02]because they had to keep

[49:03]their big balls cool.

[49:04]Like that's why

[49:05]they had to do it.

[49:06]I've never seen a squirrel

[49:07]ball sack before.

[49:08]So now I've seen everything

[49:09]and that's,

[49:10]that's it.

[49:10]That's,

[49:11]so

[49:12]I wanted to give you guys

[49:16]an update

[49:16]and

[49:18]biggest balls.

[49:19]That's all I got.

[49:19]They weren't like

[49:21]big compared to,

[49:22]they weren't like big

[49:23]compared to your balls,

[49:24]right?

[49:25]No,

[49:25]they were like,

[49:26]I don't know.

[49:26]They were like,

[49:27]I don't know.

[49:29]It's like if,

[49:29]it's like if I had

[49:30]pool balls for balls,

[49:32]maybe,

[49:33]or like,

[49:33]you know what I mean?

[49:34]Like it was like,

[49:35]yeah,

[49:35]like it was,

[49:36]it was like outlandishly

[49:38]big for the size

[49:39]of this squirrel.

[49:39]And I never,

[49:40]I'd never seen that before.

[49:41]Aaron,

[49:41]remember when Rob

[49:42]did his parody song

[49:43]and we were going to get

[49:44]this out of the way

[49:44]in the first eight,

[49:45]three minutes of the podcast?

[49:46]Yeah, I apologize.

[49:47]I know.

[49:47]I know.

[49:48]I apologize.

[49:48]No, no, no.

[49:49]That was,

[49:49]I strictly said penises.

[49:50]That's,

[49:51]I was very clear.

[49:52]Okay.

[49:52]If you go back

[49:53]and listen to the language.

[49:54]Zoological.

[49:55]All right,

[49:56]Matt,

[49:56]how's it,

[49:57]how's it really going

[49:57]with Matt?

[49:58]Good.

[49:59]I'll keep it short

[50:00]since Russell went

[50:01]so long today

[50:02]with his role.

[50:03]Okay.

[50:04]I got it.

[50:06]I got a list.

[50:07]Still don't know

[50:08]what flashlight

[50:08]to see Menzies is.

[50:09]Come on.

[50:10]Albert Pujols

[50:12]ended his career

[50:13]with 703.

[50:15]That's amazing.

[50:16]That's incredible.

[50:16]No chance

[50:17]it was juice

[50:18]in the second half

[50:19]of that year,

[50:19]right?

[50:19]No chance.

[50:21]Who cares?

[50:22]Yep.

[50:23]Who cares?

[50:23]Yep.

[50:24]Go for it.

[50:25]That was fun baseball.

[50:27]Who cares about 62?

[50:28]We had this text chain.

[50:29]Oh boy.

[50:30]Here we go.

[50:30]Here we go.

[50:31]More sports,

[50:32]Matt.

[50:32]More sports.

[50:33]More sports.

[50:34]Love it.

[50:36]Listener Neil,

[50:37]we're not going

[50:38]to get too into it,

[50:40]but listener Neil

[50:40]had a big win today

[50:42]in high school football.

[50:42]I want to say

[50:43]congratulations to Neil.

[50:44]Way to go, Neil.

[50:45]Wait,

[50:46]Neil's playing

[50:46]high school football?

[50:47]He's a coach.

[50:49]He's coaching.

[50:50]That was like,

[50:51]he's just crushing

[50:52]those side graders.

[50:53]He's like,

[50:53]this is four weeks

[50:55]ago now,

[50:56]so I know

[50:57]he's still

[50:57]with eligibility left.

[50:58]We'll just say

[50:59]that Neil's team

[50:59]beat the Eagles.

[51:00]That's fairly

[51:01]benign enough to know.

[51:03]So good job.

[51:04]Good job, Neil.

[51:05]He's probably,

[51:05]his season's probably done now.

[51:06]It ended in a heartbreaking way

[51:08]and he's just listening

[51:08]to this being like,

[51:09]dang it.

[51:10]I have on here

[51:13]live action shows.

[51:15]They're doing

[51:15]all of these

[51:16]live action remakes

[51:17]of movies

[51:18]and I have zero interest

[51:20]in watching

[51:20]any of them.

[51:21]Have you guys

[51:21]watched any of them?

[51:22]No.

[51:23]No.

[51:23]Yeah,

[51:25]it just,

[51:26]I probably should

[51:27]watch five minutes

[51:28]of one to see

[51:29]if it's anything,

[51:30]but like,

[51:30]I have zero interest

[51:32]in watching Pinocchio,

[51:33]the live action Pinocchio.

[51:35]Do your kids,

[51:35]are they interested?

[51:36]I don't know.

[51:38]I'm trying to make them

[51:39]so they're not interested

[51:40]and never bring them up

[51:41]because I don't want

[51:41]to watch them.

[51:42]I'd much rather watch.

[51:43]My kids showed

[51:44]no interest in like

[51:44]the live Lion King

[51:45]or the live anything.

[51:47]Do you think,

[51:47]do you think at some point

[51:48]they're going to do

[51:49]a live Toy Story?

[51:50]Is that going to be

[51:50]the what's next?

[51:51]It's like this weird,

[51:52]scary where the toys

[51:53]are now real.

[51:54]If they've done Pinocchio,

[51:56]why wouldn't they go ahead

[51:56]and do Toy Story, right?

[51:57]That's what they're

[51:59]working towards.

[51:59]aren't you doing

[52:00]the three hours

[52:01]with the Vikings

[52:01]with your kids?

[52:02]So you're kind of done

[52:03]for the rest of the weekend

[52:04]after that, aren't you?

[52:05]Done babysitting.

[52:05]I just thought

[52:06]your three hour commitment

[52:07]was all you needed.

[52:08]Yeah.

[52:09]Yeah.

[52:10]Yeah.

[52:10]No, that's,

[52:11]that's about it.

[52:12]That's about it.

[52:12]Okay, time.

[52:12]We're done watching the Vikings.

[52:13]Time to watch

[52:14]the live Little Mermaid.

[52:15]Yeah.

[52:16]Fun.

[52:17]Although I bet they could make,

[52:18]you know,

[52:20]Ursula very scary.

[52:22]Okay, or,

[52:23]okay, now this,

[52:24]this is going

[52:26]a little different direction.

[52:27]You guys probably can't guess

[52:28]which direction it's going,

[52:28]but it's possible

[52:30]Ursula could become

[52:31]a very sexy.

[52:32]I mean, think about it.

[52:34]It's a woman on top,

[52:35]right?

[52:36]And she's got arms

[52:38]with suckers on the bottom.

[52:39]Arms with what?

[52:40]Whoa, with suckers.

[52:41]She's an octopus

[52:42]on the bottom.

[52:43]Like,

[52:44]I mean,

[52:45]the ones where you take

[52:46]the wrapper off

[52:46]and if they got a guy

[52:48]shooting a star,

[52:48]then you get a free one

[52:49]if you go back.

[52:50]I mean, guys,

[52:50]listen,

[52:51]when you're making love

[52:54]with your lady

[52:55]and she's got two hands,

[52:56]it's awesome.

[52:57]If she had eight hands,

[52:59]holy shit.

[53:00]I can see this

[53:01]because then there,

[53:01]like, maybe there's a,

[53:02]maybe there's a scene

[53:03]where, like, Poseidon is,

[53:04]like, got his arms

[53:06]on the side of a boat

[53:07]and he's just, like,

[53:07]leaning up on the side

[53:08]of the boat

[53:09]and looking real happy,

[53:09]but, like,

[53:10]under this water,

[53:11]there's, you know.

[53:11]He's noodling.

[53:13]A lot of stuff happening.

[53:14]Poseidon's noodling.

[53:15]Yeah, that's good.

[53:16]Thank you for saving that bit.

[53:18]The only thing with

[53:18]Little Mermaid

[53:20]is, like,

[53:20]the song,

[53:21]there's enough songs,

[53:22]there's a ton of songs

[53:23]in that one

[53:24]that kids would like,

[53:25]so that, I mean,

[53:25]that would be the only one.

[53:26]Yeah, you can get somebody

[53:27]who can sing the hell out of it.

[53:28]Just watch the original.

[53:29]Who cares?

[53:29]I don't get it.

[53:30]Although the hair,

[53:32]like, the hair animations

[53:33]come a long way

[53:34]since Little Mermaid.

[53:35]Like, Little Mermaid

[53:36]compared to Moana,

[53:37]it's, like,

[53:37]not even the same genre.

[53:38]But the prince

[53:40]on Little Mermaid,

[53:40]I mean,

[53:41]that's an attractive dude.

[53:42]He's a handsome man.

[53:43]He is.

[53:43]When he got a statue

[53:45]made of him,

[53:46]I was like,

[53:46]I'd take that statue.

[53:47]Like, I'd take that.

[53:48]It'd be great.

[53:49]Put it in my house.

[53:50]Last thing I had

[53:53]is we went to

[53:54]Pizzeria Lola

[53:55]the other day

[53:56]with the family.

[53:56]We were sitting outside.

[53:58]It's such a good,

[53:59]man,

[53:59]it's such a good spot.

[54:00]She's actually on,

[54:02]there's a Netflix show

[54:03]and Anna Kim

[54:05]is on

[54:06]one of the shows

[54:08]talking about her pizza thing.

[54:09]And I saw Anna Kim

[54:10]and her husband

[54:11]were running

[54:11]the 10 mile,

[54:13]so I ran right by them.

[54:14]Good for her.

[54:14]That's great.

[54:15]It's kind of funny.

[54:15]I wanted to be like,

[54:16]hey, pizza.

[54:17]Hey,

[54:18]they high-fived

[54:19]the marathon runner

[54:21]that I was with.

[54:22]Did they?

[54:23]Maybe.

[54:24]Maybe.

[54:25]I don't know.

[54:26]You know,

[54:26]she runs a restaurant.

[54:27]She's got pretty good hygiene,

[54:28]so I don't know.

[54:29]That's the subtitle

[54:32]of her restaurant.

[54:32]We've got pretty good hygiene.

[54:33]We're sitting at this table

[54:34]and you know,

[54:35]you're out on a patio

[54:36]and you're so close

[54:37]and the guy next to me

[54:38]couldn't have been more loud,

[54:40]couldn't have been more Gen Z,

[54:42]and couldn't have been

[54:43]more wrong

[54:44]in every single one

[54:45]of his takes

[54:45]that he was telling

[54:46]to the gal he was with.

[54:48]Just a friend.

[54:48]Classic mean old daddy

[54:51]would be bugged

[54:52]by the loud person next to you.

[54:53]And I'm not going

[54:54]to take too much.

[54:54]I got a whole list

[54:55]of the stuff

[54:56]that he went through,

[54:56]but the biggest one,

[54:58]the biggest one he said

[54:59]is he said like,

[55:00]well, yeah,

[55:01]I went to the,

[55:02]I went to their wedding,

[55:03]but you know,

[55:04]I didn't,

[55:05]I didn't go to the dinner.

[55:05]I just,

[55:06]I just went to the ceremony

[55:07]because I really think

[55:07]it's the most important thing

[55:08]is going to the ceremony

[55:09]for the wedding

[55:10]and I skipped the dinner.

[55:11]We got to get this guy

[55:12]on the show.

[55:13]And I just wanted,

[55:14]and I'm sitting,

[55:15]he's literally,

[55:16]I mean,

[55:16]I could reach out to,

[55:17]I literally want to be like,

[55:18]that is the dumbest thing

[55:19]I've ever heard in my life.

[55:20]I am begging you.

[55:21]Aaron's talking about

[55:22]trying to get people

[55:24]talking about his tweet

[55:24]about God knows what

[55:25]I forgot already.

[55:26]But next time

[55:28]you need to give him

[55:29]a business card

[55:29]with just our zoom link.

[55:30]That's a Saturday nights,

[55:32]please.

[55:32]Cause I need this guy

[55:33]to talk to Russell.

[55:34]Can you imagine

[55:34]if somebody tells Russell

[55:35]the best part of the wedding

[55:36]is the ceremony?

[55:36]Russell's head would explode.

[55:38]He said this,

[55:39]he told this gal,

[55:40]he goes,

[55:41]well,

[55:41]you know,

[55:41]I,

[55:41]I went to the ceremony

[55:42]but I skipped out on the dinner

[55:43]because I,

[55:44]you know,

[55:44]the most important part

[55:45]is to see the ceremony.

[55:46]And I'm like,

[55:47]the people who have

[55:49]the ceremony

[55:50]could care less

[55:50]if you're at the ceremony.

[55:51]They paid for you

[55:52]to have a dinner,

[55:53]jackass.

[55:54]Like go to the dinner

[55:55]kind of a thing.

[55:56]So that was it.

[55:57]So that's all I had

[55:58]for this week.

[55:59]Rob,

[55:59]rolling,

[55:59]going,

[56:00]how's it going with you?

[56:00]Tell you what,

[56:01]my kid made me watch

[56:02]Hocus Pocus 2,

[56:03]one of the worst movies

[56:04]I've ever seen

[56:05]in my entire life,

[56:05]but she loves it.

[56:06]She loves it.

[56:07]It is a movie that

[56:08]if you watch,

[56:09]all of the movie

[56:10]was recorded

[56:11]on green screens.

[56:12]None of the characters

[56:13]ever cross.

[56:14]If you watch it,

[56:15]they never,

[56:15]they're always

[56:16]standing face to face

[56:17]and then they walk off

[56:18]in different,

[56:18]you'll never see.

[56:19]And I kept saying to my kids,

[56:20]nobody's crossing,

[56:21]nobody's crossing.

[56:21]And finally my kid

[56:22]turned around and said,

[56:22]shut up about the crossing stuff.

[56:24]And I was like,

[56:27]this is a good practice

[56:28]for the podcast.

[56:29]So this movie,

[56:30]of course,

[56:30]it's Halloween today

[56:31]as we release this.

[56:32]So I'm thinking about it.

[56:33]One of the things

[56:34]they were doing,

[56:34]I got a couple of things

[56:35]from this movie.

[56:35]One of the things

[56:35]they were doing

[56:36]in this movie

[56:36]was bobbing apples.

[56:37]And I was like,

[56:38]I remember bobbing apples.

[56:40]I remember bobbing apples

[56:41]being like,

[56:42]okay,

[56:43]I'm going to put my head in.

[56:45]Yeah,

[56:45]I'm going to bobbing four apples.

[56:46]I'm going to put my head in.

[56:47]I'm going to grab an apple.

[56:48]Bobbing apples.

[56:48]This will be simple.

[56:50]It's like whack-a-mole with apples.

[56:51]This will be so simple.

[56:52]I'm simply going to put my head in.

[56:53]I'm going to grab an apple

[56:54]with my mouth

[56:54]and I'm going to pull it out.

[56:55]And then it was like

[56:56]the hardest thing

[56:57]in the entire world

[56:59]was to get one of those

[56:59]smooth apples

[57:00]into your mouth.

[57:01]And then meanwhile,

[57:02]you look over

[57:03]and somebody else

[57:03]is sticking their head

[57:04]in the same pail of water

[57:06]at the same time as you,

[57:07]right?

[57:07]It's disgusting.

[57:08]Like the whole

[57:09]bobbing apples thing,

[57:10]if you look back,

[57:10]it's gross.

[57:12]It's so gross.

[57:13]Just like dipping your face

[57:14]into a vat of water.

[57:15]It's like if you went

[57:16]to a swimming pool

[57:17]and you saw an apple floating

[57:18]and it's like,

[57:18]I'm going to eat that apple.

[57:19]Or like a hot tub.

[57:21]You're at a hot tub, right?

[57:21]It's like if you're at a hot tub

[57:22]and you go by a hot tub

[57:23]with a bunch of people

[57:24]and there's an apple

[57:24]and you're like,

[57:25]I'm going to eat that apple.

[57:26]That's exactly what

[57:27]bobbing four apples is like.

[57:28]It's disgusting.

[57:29]Like you get an apple

[57:30]and you're like,

[57:30]well,

[57:30]there's some teeth marks

[57:31]in it already,

[57:31]but I think it's going to be okay.

[57:32]Right.

[57:34]And then if I don't remember,

[57:35]I may be bobbed four apples

[57:42]and there's going to be other

[57:43]options and delicious stuff to eat.

[57:45]Right.

[57:45]It's always a party

[57:47]where the parents

[57:47]are giving out like pencils too

[57:48]where you're like,

[57:49]oh, this party sucks.

[57:50]Bobbing four apples,

[57:51]this stinks.

[57:52]Your party sucks.

[57:53]Let's tear this place apart.

[57:54]Let's steal stuff

[57:56]from the bathroom

[57:56]or whatever we did at parties.

[57:57]It didn't matter.

[57:58]What did your daughter think

[57:59]of the bobbing four apples?

[58:00]Oh, they,

[58:01]again,

[58:02]they told me to shut up

[58:03]because it was just in the movie.

[58:04]So I talked about the bobbing

[58:05]four apples for a couple of minutes,

[58:06]came up with this bit

[58:07]and then they told me to be quiet.

[58:08]Was their movie

[58:09]interrupting you again, Rob?

[58:11]No, no, no.

[58:12]I came in and sat down

[58:13]and watched this movie

[58:14]because it was insane

[58:15]when you realize

[58:16]it's all green screen.

[58:17]You cannot see anything else

[58:18]when you see it.

[58:19]And so again,

[58:20]it's my job to ruin things for people.

[58:21]So I wanted to point that out.

[58:23]And then the other thing I saw

[58:25]was in this movie,

[58:26]the witches come back on Halloween.

[58:27]So they're disguised, right?

[58:29]And so the whole town

[58:30]is dressed in costumes

[58:32]and it's movie costumes, right?

[58:33]So it's like nice costumes.

[58:35]These costumes though,

[58:37]really threw me.

[58:38]Okay.

[58:38]I'm going to give you

[58:39]my top three costumes

[58:40]from Hocus,

[58:42]Hocus, Hocus.

[58:42]Are you ready?

[58:43]Second list of the night.

[58:44]This is another list

[58:46]where I'm going to give you

[58:46]my top three costumes.

[58:47]And these are top three costumes

[58:48]that threw me.

[58:49]It gave me pause.

[58:51]Okay.

[58:52]I really thought about

[58:53]this Halloween release episode thing.

[58:55]Well,

[58:56]this is what happens

[58:57]when your kid makes you watch

[58:58]Hocus Pocus too

[58:59]and then says she loves it.

[58:59]So you have to say nice things

[59:00]about it to her.

[59:01]What would you guys say

[59:03]is like the number one

[59:04]Halloween costume?

[59:05]Like ghost, right?

[59:06]That's what we dress like.

[59:07]Witch, ghost, vampire.

[59:09]Okay.

[59:09]Yeah.

[59:10]So in this one,

[59:12]there was a,

[59:12]a student dressed

[59:13]as a referee,

[59:15]a referee.

[59:16]They were a,

[59:17]they were a football referee.

[59:18]Sexy referee.

[59:19]No,

[59:21]this is a,

[59:22]this is a student

[59:23]dressed as a referee,

[59:24]which I thought was bizarre.

[59:25]And I go,

[59:26]who the hell

[59:26]dresses like a referee

[59:28]for Halloween?

[59:29]Matt,

[59:30]would you have ever

[59:31]dressed as a referee

[59:31]as a kid or not?

[59:32]All the time.

[59:34]I hate Halloween.

[59:35]I've told you guys,

[59:36]I hate Halloween.

[59:37]And my dad

[59:38]reffed football.

[59:39]And so

[59:40]it was the easiest thing.

[59:41]Like,

[59:42]here's an old shirt.

[59:42]Here's an old hat.

[59:43]There you go.

[59:44]Like,

[59:44]do I have to think

[59:46]about a costume?

[59:47]No,

[59:47]just be like,

[59:48]great.

[59:48]Awesome.

[59:49]I don't want to do anything.

[59:51]The second costume

[59:52]that threw me big time,

[59:53]and this is a twofer.

[59:54]Okay.

[59:54]Cause they're kind of the same.

[59:55]Some people were dressed

[59:56]as pharaohs

[59:57]and some people

[59:58]were dressed as kings.

[59:59]Is a king or a pharaoh

[60:01]a Halloween costume?

[60:02]Those aren't right.

[60:03]Nobody dresses like a pharaoh

[60:04]for Halloween.

[60:04]That's crazy.

[60:05]Is that the one

[60:06]where they,

[60:06]I mean,

[60:06]like technically

[60:07]they got the shirt off

[60:08]and then,

[60:08]you know,

[60:09]so it's like sexy pharaoh.

[60:10]Like it's a,

[60:11]it's an opportunity

[60:12]to take your shirt off.

[60:13]These guys were regular

[60:14]sphinx,

[60:14]riddled the sphinx.

[60:15]Aaron can give me a kiss

[60:16]and we don't need to do

[60:17]that whole bit again,

[60:17]but it was a good one.

[60:18]Maybe,

[60:20]maybe they're teasing

[60:21]the next live action

[60:23]Disney movie,

[60:23]Prince of Egypt.

[60:24]I was thinking maybe

[60:25]they were like,

[60:26]the only time I saw people

[60:27]dress like pharaohs

[60:28]is when we studied

[60:28]Egypt in school.

[60:30]Like people would dress

[60:31]like pharaohs

[60:31]and walk like an Egyptian.

[60:32]And actually,

[60:33]that was really problematic

[60:34]now that I look back on it

[60:35]and think about it.

[60:35]But like a king,

[60:37]would you guys want to dress

[60:38]like a king for Halloween?

[60:39]The Burger King,

[60:40]maybe that creepy

[60:41]Burger King speaking

[60:42]creepy, scary stuff.

[60:43]I think they got rid

[60:44]of that guy,

[60:45]didn't they?

[60:45]King Ralph,

[60:47]I'd dress as King Ralph.

[60:48]Oh,

[60:49]great movie.

[60:51]Hey,

[60:51]here's a picture

[60:52]of my extended family

[60:53]that got electrocuted

[60:54]in a photo.

[60:54]And again,

[60:55]a lot of people forget

[60:55]that part of the movie.

[60:56]I keep bringing it up.

[60:57]We can set our clock back

[60:58]number of weeks

[60:59]since we referenced

[61:01]King Ralph on the podcast

[61:02]back to zero.

[61:02]Yes.

[61:03]I'd probably dress

[61:04]like Serena Williams' dad,

[61:06]King Richard.

[61:08]I think that'd be a good one

[61:09]where I'm yelling,

[61:10]I'm yelling at my kids

[61:10]and it just happens

[61:11]to work out one time.

[61:12]So a lot of parents

[61:13]think it's actually normal.

[61:14]So, yeah.

[61:14]Or two times,

[61:15]depending.

[61:16]There's two of them.

[61:16]So then the other,

[61:18]the last costume

[61:19]that gave me pause

[61:19]was there was a number

[61:20]of people in this movie

[61:21]dressed up like pilgrims.

[61:22]That was my number one

[61:24]bad costume.

[61:26]I was like,

[61:26]does anybody dress up

[61:28]like a pilgrim?

[61:29]I mean,

[61:29]first of all,

[61:30]Thanksgiving is so close,

[61:31]right?

[61:31]That's,

[61:32]you get your pilgrim time

[61:33]during Thanksgiving.

[61:33]Don't worry about it.

[61:34]You got buckle hat.

[61:35]You get to wear it

[61:36]like then,

[61:36]like crazy.

[61:37]It's not a Halloween costume.

[61:39]Regardless of whether

[61:39]that's a good costume

[61:41]or not,

[61:42]it has no business

[61:43]being anywhere

[61:44]near Halloween,

[61:45]right?

[61:45]Well,

[61:46]the whole thing

[61:47]of Hocus Pocus is though,

[61:48]that's on the East Coast

[61:49]and that's where,

[61:50]you know,

[61:50]the first people

[61:51]landed over there

[61:52]and the witches

[61:52]are that old

[61:53]and stuff like that.

[61:53]So it's part of their culture

[61:55]probably, Rob,

[61:55]right?

[61:56]So you think the pilgrims

[61:57]were at the Salem Witch Trials

[61:58]and that's why this is going on?

[62:00]Goddamn, Matt,

[62:02]you're so smart.

[62:03]Maybe they just wanted

[62:05]to wear tights and socks.

[62:05]I don't know.

[62:06]So anyway,

[62:06]that is my rolling going.

[62:08]I think they like

[62:09]taking their,

[62:09]their socks off

[62:10]after wearing

[62:10]those tight socks.

[62:11]Oh my God.

[62:12]This thing's got to be

[62:15]acrylic too.

[62:16]Like that doesn't feel good

[62:17]on your feet.

[62:17]You got to get this off

[62:17]your feet or you're not breathing.

[62:19]I think you,

[62:20]I think you guys

[62:21]every morning

[62:22]when I wake up

[62:23]and I come out

[62:23]to my computer chair

[62:24]and there's two socks

[62:25]underneath from the night before

[62:26]where I've taken them off

[62:27]in ecstasy.

[62:28]One of the best feelings

[62:29]in the world.

[62:29]You're no longer

[62:30]wearing them to bed?

[62:31]No.

[62:32]Although I have been

[62:34]wearing them to bed

[62:34]and then taking them off

[62:35]in bed.

[62:35]It's kind of a treat

[62:36]to myself.

[62:37]But again,

[62:37]you got to be careful

[62:38]because if I wake up,

[62:39]Jenny,

[62:39]it's huge trouble.

[62:40]Listen,

[62:41]we are talking about

[62:42]Good Kid Mad City

[62:44]by Kendrick Lamar.

[62:45]This is Kendrick Lamar's

[62:47]and Aaron,

[62:48]honestly,

[62:48]Aaron is going to help me

[62:49]out a ton with this.

[62:49]He's kind of the expert on this.

[62:52]There's a lot going on

[62:53]with this album.

[62:53]This is basically

[62:54]an album where

[62:55]he had released

[62:56]Section 80,

[62:57]but this was his first

[62:59]major label record

[63:00]where he was on Interscope

[63:01]and he was with Dr. Dre

[63:02]and he had total

[63:03]creative control

[63:04]over this album.

[63:04]So a lot of people

[63:05]consider this kind of

[63:06]his first album.

[63:07]And basically,

[63:08]this album is following

[63:09]Teenage Kendrick,

[63:09]because he lives a day

[63:10]in Compton.

[63:11]And immediately

[63:12]when this came out in 2012,

[63:13]people knew

[63:14]it was going to be massive.

[63:15]I mean,

[63:15]you can see from the guests

[63:16]he has on this

[63:17]like first big album

[63:18]to get the people

[63:20]rapping with him

[63:20]that he has.

[63:21]I mean,

[63:21]he's got Janet Jackson

[63:22]for God's sakes.

[63:22]And then this is,

[63:25]it made a ton of best lists.

[63:26]And I just want to tell you

[63:27]that basically

[63:28]the concept of this album

[63:29]is that it's a story.

[63:30]It's a narrative, right?

[63:31]And he basically

[63:34]is going to meet a girl,

[63:35]drive around with his friends.

[63:37]They stage a robbery.

[63:38]He,

[63:39]they,

[63:39]they,

[63:39]they stage a robbery.

[63:40]He gets jumped by some guys.

[63:41]They go back to confront him

[63:42]and the friend gets shot.

[63:44]And then there's a scene

[63:45]where they get baptized

[63:46]by Maya Angelou, actually.

[63:48]And talking about

[63:49]should they retaliate?

[63:50]And dad and mom are saying,

[63:51]no,

[63:51]you've got to get into the music.

[63:52]And I'm telling you,

[63:53]the first time I listened

[63:54]to this album,

[63:54]it was,

[63:54]to me,

[63:55]it was a rough listen.

[63:56]I was like,

[63:56]well,

[63:56]the skits aren't funny.

[63:57]Like there's no $500 game show.

[63:59]There's no like chins on,

[64:00]nuts on your chin or whatever.

[64:01]And then when I did research

[64:03]for this album

[64:03]and I listened to it again,

[64:04]it was like super powerful.

[64:06]Like it was,

[64:07]to me,

[64:09]you know what's going on

[64:11]in this album.

[64:12]And where he came from

[64:13]and where he grew up

[64:14]and all that.

[64:14]I mean,

[64:15]just,

[64:15]and you can hear it in his voice

[64:16]and the way he changes his voice

[64:17]throughout the album

[64:18]to indicate what's going on.

[64:19]So I don't want to tell you guys this,

[64:21]but you might guess

[64:22]that Aaron gave quite a few soundbites.

[64:23]So this might take a little bit.

[64:24]But here we go.

[64:25]You don't have to play them all.

[64:26]You don't have to play them all.

[64:27]But yeah.

[64:27]I respect you too much, Aaron.

[64:29]I'm going to play them all.

[64:30]First we have Shireen,

[64:31]AKA Master Splinter.

[64:33]Splinter's daughter.

[64:36]We've actually talked about this song

[64:37]once before.

[64:38]Do you guys remember for what?

[64:39]No, what was it?

[64:42]We did a,

[64:42]we did on the Drake album,

[64:44]we did a list of the best voicemails ever.

[64:46]And the voicemail in this song

[64:48]made the list.

[64:48]Oh, right.

[64:49]Yes, right.

[64:51]I do remember that.

[64:51]It's so good.

[64:52]So then here he is

[64:54]meeting Shireen and talking to her.

[64:56]I mean, listen,

[64:56]Kendrick's flow is so good.

[64:58]Yeah, what's wild about,

[65:07]I mean, this,

[65:07]so, you know,

[65:08]he was known

[65:09]as,

[65:09]as sort of a backpack rapper.

[65:11]He was part of the,

[65:12]of the Black Hippie crew.

[65:13]And so you mentioned,

[65:15]Rob, this album.

[65:15]Schoolboy Q.

[65:16]Yeah, there you go.

[65:17]Yeah, exactly.

[65:18]You mentioned this album

[65:20]came out in 2012.

[65:21]I,

[65:22]I first heard about Kendrick

[65:23]in 2006.

[65:24]I went to South by Southwest

[65:25]and a guy who was with me

[65:28]with the crew was like,

[65:29]I got to go see Kendrick

[65:30]and Black Hippie crew

[65:31]and that was in 2006.

[65:32]And so,

[65:33]you know,

[65:34]rap heads were like

[65:35]really up on him

[65:36]for a long time.

[65:36]He's 25 when this album comes out.

[65:38]And,

[65:39]and he was really

[65:40]known for,

[65:41]you know,

[65:42]I mean,

[65:42]the stuff on Section 80,

[65:43]he's doing a lot of

[65:43]double time rapping.

[65:44]He's doing stuff

[65:45]where he'll switch up his flows.

[65:46]All the stuff you hear

[65:47]on this album.

[65:47]But what's really

[65:49]impressive to me

[65:50]is the way he's able

[65:51]to edit himself

[65:52]and really just give like

[65:53]concise stories,

[65:55]but,

[65:56]but within his,

[65:57]you know,

[65:57]talents.

[65:58]I mean,

[65:59]for this to be a debut album,

[66:01]I mean,

[66:01]we're doing like next week,

[66:02]we're doing The Cure,

[66:03]right?

[66:03]That's their seventh album

[66:05]and it was like their,

[66:06]what they've always wanted to do

[66:07]and everything was building to that.

[66:08]For him to just,

[66:09]to come,

[66:09]you know,

[66:10]like you said,

[66:10]not totally out of the gates,

[66:11]but for this to be a first album

[66:13]where it's this complex

[66:14]running narrative

[66:16]with these sublime songs on it,

[66:17]I mean,

[66:17]just mind blowing.

[66:18]Was this his debut album

[66:20]or his second one?

[66:21]It's his first major label album.

[66:23]Major label.

[66:24]So it's,

[66:25]a lot of people say

[66:26]it's the best debut

[66:27]when it's not really.

[66:28]And then it was,

[66:28]it was that thing too

[66:29]of like when,

[66:30]when Dre picked a,

[66:31]a protege and a next,

[66:33]he mostly got it right,

[66:34]you know?

[66:35]Yeah.

[66:35]Eminem,

[66:36]The Game.

[66:37]But there's a couple,

[66:38]you know,

[66:39]50 Cent,

[66:40]obviously,

[66:40]but there's a couple like

[66:41]Bishop Lamont never took off.

[66:42]And so there was always

[66:43]this rumble about like,

[66:44]well,

[66:45]Dre's got another guy coming

[66:47]and then you don't know

[66:47]if there's an album

[66:48]that's coming or not.

[66:49]So there was a lot of lead up,

[66:50]a lot of anticipation for this

[66:51]that when it came out,

[66:53]he was already a household name

[66:54]in some circles.

[66:55]There's that one rapper too,

[66:56]Steve Jones.

[66:57]You ever heard of that guy?

[66:58]Snapper Jones?

[67:00]No.

[67:00]Steve Snapper Jones?

[67:01]No,

[67:01]you never have.

[67:02]Oh shit,

[67:02]I picked somebody

[67:03]that was real.

[67:03]Shit.

[67:04]That joke blew up in my face.

[67:06]Bitch,

[67:07]don't kill my vibe.

[67:09]Is this the best known

[67:12]track off this?

[67:12]I think it's

[67:14]Backseat Freestyle.

[67:15]It's the one,

[67:16]I'm not a huge

[67:17]current music fan

[67:18]and Backseat Freestyle

[67:20]was the one

[67:20]that I knew the most.

[67:21]So this is one of the few songs

[67:23]on the album

[67:23]that's in the current tense

[67:25]and it's basically talking

[67:27]about what he thinks

[67:27]about the current state

[67:28]of hip hop

[67:29]and then

[67:30]kind of this and Compton

[67:31]are the only songs

[67:32]that are like that

[67:32]on the album

[67:33]where it's in the modern times.

[67:34]Yeah,

[67:35]it's one of the only songs

[67:36]that kind of keeps the same.

[67:37]Well,

[67:37]this one and like

[67:38]maybe,

[67:39]Think About Me

[67:39]and Dinah Thirst,

[67:40]a couple of them

[67:40]that kind of keep

[67:41]the same flow,

[67:42]same vibe

[67:42]throughout the whole track.

[67:43]Others,

[67:44]he kind of likes

[67:45]to switch up

[67:45]sections.

[67:47]I mean,

[67:48]he was so big at this time

[67:49]that Lady Gaga

[67:49]had agreed to be on this song

[67:51]and it just didn't work out.

[67:52]Like,

[67:52]2012 Lady Gaga,

[67:54]that's giant.

[67:56]That's enormous.

[67:56]You can hear it too.

[67:58]Like,

[67:59]you know,

[67:59]when he did,

[68:00]when his,

[68:00]when the album Damn came out,

[68:02]which would have been

[68:02]two albums after this one,

[68:04]a lot of the singles

[68:05]got play on the

[68:06]R&B stations out here

[68:07]and you can hear,

[68:09]how much R&B

[68:10]influenced his sound,

[68:11]influenced the whole LA sound

[68:12]on a lot of this

[68:13]and that one I think

[68:14]is the most,

[68:14]most indicative of that.

[68:17]At the end of that song,

[68:18]his friend in the skit

[68:20]is saying,

[68:20]hey,

[68:20]I've got the beat CD

[68:21]in the Blackwoods,

[68:22]get in the car.

[68:23]You need to freestyle

[68:24]rap with a beat CD.

[68:25]Isn't that such an awesome idea

[68:27]of just driving around

[68:28]with your friends

[68:28]and like,

[68:30]just doing this

[68:30]and having Kendrick

[68:32]as one of your friends

[68:32]doing a freestyle

[68:33]in the car?

[68:34]I mean,

[68:38]I love the like

[68:41]Street Fighter

[68:41]sounds of that beat.

[68:43]And so he said basically like,

[68:46]this song is not me,

[68:48]what I think about now.

[68:49]Like,

[68:49]it's such a different,

[68:50]I mean,

[68:51]his concept of just having

[68:52]a huge dick

[68:53]that's the size of the Apple Tower.

[68:54]It's so strange

[68:56]compared to the rest of his album,

[68:56]but you realize

[68:57]this is teenage.

[68:58]This is teenage Kendrick

[69:00]and he's talking about

[69:01]what he wanted then.

[69:02]It's fun too,

[69:04]like it's,

[69:05]he's giving the people

[69:06]what they want, right?

[69:06]It's like,

[69:07]well,

[69:07]let's hear Kendrick just rap.

[69:08]Like,

[69:08]let's just have a song

[69:09]where he's just going to rap

[69:10]and then he's going to give you

[69:11]the double time flow.

[69:12]Oh,

[69:13]this is the double time flow?

[69:15]That's so interesting.

[69:15]I love the sound

[69:18]of his voice there.

[69:19]No way.

[69:20]He can kind of switch up

[69:22]his vocal tones too,

[69:23]doesn't he?

[69:24]Like,

[69:24]he can kind of get that

[69:25]like growling,

[69:25]angry type rap

[69:26]and then he's kind of smooth

[69:28]at other points.

[69:28]He's really,

[69:29]really unique.

[69:29]Yeah,

[69:31]yeah,

[69:31]he's,

[69:31]yeah.

[69:32]This is one I could relate to.

[69:33]Every time I've ever gotten

[69:34]in trouble in my life,

[69:35]it's been in a car

[69:36]with like three other guys.

[69:37]That's,

[69:38]there's a Pazone Revolution on.

[69:40]The art of the peer pressure.

[69:42]Yeah,

[69:43]that's how we got in trouble.

[69:44]The Pazone Revolution,

[69:45]by the way,

[69:46]is where we drove around a car

[69:48]and at the time,

[69:49]Pizza Hut was selling

[69:51]something called a Pazone,

[69:52]which,

[69:52]what was that,

[69:52]Russell?

[69:53]I can't quite remember

[69:53]what it was.

[69:54]It's a pizza that's shaped

[69:55]like a sandwich.

[69:56]So,

[69:57]it was a Calzone pizza

[69:59]and we thought it was so funny

[70:00]to yell,

[70:00]it's a Pazone Revolution

[70:02]on the car.

[70:02]Now,

[70:02]keep in mind,

[70:03]Russell and I are,

[70:03]I think,

[70:04]21 at the time,

[70:06]20,

[70:07]and there's girls

[70:08]at these parks.

[70:08]And we keep screaming

[70:09]that it's a Pazone Revolution.

[70:10]We didn't have Nintendo

[70:11]to plan that part.

[70:12]We had to yell

[70:13]about something else.

[70:14]We could just stand

[70:15]in the corner

[70:16]and be embarrassed

[70:16]that no girls

[70:17]were talking to us,

[70:18]right?

[70:18]So,

[70:19]this song is about him,

[70:20]but the same thing

[70:21]with getting peer pressured

[70:22]with guys.

[70:22]In our case,

[70:23]we're yelling Pazone Revolution.

[70:24]In his case,

[70:25]he's going to rob a house.

[70:26]But he's talking about,

[70:27]I love the line,

[70:28]I'm usually drug free,

[70:29]but I'm riding with the homies.

[70:30]It's like,

[70:30]it's such a perfect

[70:32]indication of what

[70:34]peer pressure is like

[70:35]as a young male,

[70:36]I think.

[70:37]And then the robbery,

[70:38]I mean,

[70:38]listen to this.

[70:39]He describes it.

[70:40]Any Nintendo DVDs,

[70:41]plasma screen TVs

[70:42]in the trunk.

[70:43]We made a right,

[70:44]they made a left,

[70:45]they made a right.

[70:45]I mean,

[70:46]you can picture

[70:46]what's going on.

[70:47]Yeah,

[70:48]his diction switches up here.

[70:50]He's really enunciating

[70:51]carefully to

[70:52]hype up the pressure.

[70:53]You know,

[70:56]a huge part of this album,

[70:58]too,

[70:58]is this concept

[70:59]of him having a van,

[71:00]having his mom's van,

[71:01]and she wants him

[71:02]to return it.

[71:03]Aaron,

[71:03]where does Kendrick

[71:05]kind of rank?

[71:06]We may have talked

[71:06]about this before,

[71:07]but in terms of lyrics,

[71:08]like,

[71:08]I'm just blown away by this,

[71:09]but like,

[71:10]is he generally considered

[71:11]on that Mount Rushmore,

[71:13]if you will,

[71:13]for that or not?

[71:14]Yes.

[71:15]Yeah,

[71:16]I think now,

[71:16]if people were to make

[71:18]a Mount Rushmore

[71:18]of the greatest rappers

[71:19]just based on skill,

[71:21]he's on there.

[71:22]I mean,

[71:23]on,

[71:23]you know,

[71:24]nine people

[71:25]out of ten people's lists,

[71:26]he's on there

[71:26]because now the,

[71:28]like,

[71:29]the number of tracks

[71:29]he's put out

[71:30]and the,

[71:31]the variation.

[71:32]Distancy, yeah.

[71:33]Yeah.

[71:34]No,

[71:34]I think he's on

[71:35]the Mount Rushmore,

[71:35]yeah.

[71:36]And,

[71:36]and Aaron did text

[71:38]in the,

[71:38]Zoom here,

[71:39]he said he's also

[71:39]on the Mount Cockmore,

[71:40]okay?

[71:41]And of course,

[71:41]last week we talked

[71:43]about the Mount Cockmore

[71:43]and the Mount Cockless,

[71:44]and so everybody

[71:45]remembers that,

[71:45]and I'm sorry

[71:46]that I broke a promise

[71:47]I made earlier

[71:47]in the episode.

[71:48]All right.

[71:50]So that got

[71:50]mid-league reviews.

[71:51]He's not,

[71:51]however,

[71:52]in the group

[71:52]Mount Westmore,

[71:53]which is E-40,

[71:54]Too Short,

[71:55]Snoop,

[71:56]and Ice Cube

[71:57]because he's not

[71:57]quite that old yet.

[71:58]But it's,

[71:59]it is shocking

[72:00]how old Kendrick actually is.

[72:01]I still think of him

[72:01]as a young guy,

[72:02]and he's actually now

[72:04]not that much younger than us.

[72:05]He's been around the block.

[72:06]Technically,

[72:07]I think he's from Compton,

[72:08]so he's also not

[72:09]on the Canada Mount Rushmore,

[72:10]which we like to talk about.

[72:12]More Rush.

[72:13]That one just has Rush.

[72:14]Oh, sorry.

[72:15]That's the thing.

[72:15]Mount Rush.

[72:16]The problem is

[72:17]Rushmore is only a trio,

[72:18]so we got big problems, okay?

[72:19]We got one more head

[72:20]to fill at the Mount Rushmore,

[72:22]and it's,

[72:22]I mean,

[72:23]it might be,

[72:23]Aaron wants Rush Limbaugh.

[72:24]I don't think that makes sense,

[72:26]but he should go on that.

[72:27]I mean,

[72:28]if you think about it,

[72:28]think about it.

[72:30]By the way,

[72:30]speaking of being old,

[72:31]I'm currently sitting

[72:32]on a hot pad on my back,

[72:33]and it's one of the best times

[72:34]I've had all day,

[72:35]so Money Trees

[72:37]featuring J-Rock.

[72:38]What I think is

[72:40]J-Rock and Black K.P. as well.

[72:42]This is a summary

[72:44]of the whole story

[72:45]so far of the album.

[72:45]Oops.

[72:50]That's,

[72:52]I mean,

[72:52]I remember,

[72:53]I still remember

[72:54]when Kevin Durant,

[72:55]and I'm going to go back

[72:55]to Twitter,

[72:56]when Kevin Durant

[72:57]just tweeted

[72:58]hot sauce all in our top

[72:59]ramen, you bish,

[73:00]and I was like,

[73:00]ah,

[73:01]everyone's listening

[73:02]to this album.

[73:03]It's so cool.

[73:04]And,

[73:04]and I,

[73:04]at that point.

[73:05]Did you like his tweet,

[73:06]Aaron,

[73:06]or not?

[73:07]I don't know if I did.

[73:08]Yeah,

[73:08]I'm not sure.

[73:09]I don't really think

[73:10]my likes really go that far,

[73:11]but.

[73:11]Yeah,

[73:12]Black Hippie is

[73:14]Ab Soul,

[73:15]J-Rock,

[73:16]Kendrick Lamar,

[73:17]and the Schoolboy Cube.

[73:18]Right.

[73:19]And Schoolboy's album

[73:20]that came out

[73:20]not too long after this.

[73:21]Right,

[73:22]a year,

[73:22]so,

[73:23]this is another one

[73:26]of the more popular songs,

[73:27]but all of the bonus tracks,

[73:29]which we're not going

[73:29]to talk about,

[73:30]you hear a ton

[73:32]of backbeats

[73:33]that are not,

[73:34]that are then played

[73:35]in Schoolboy Q's

[73:36]album,

[73:38]you know,

[73:38]Collard Greens

[73:39]and some of those songs.

[73:40]Collard Greens is a good song,

[73:40]yeah.

[73:41]Yeah,

[73:41]but you hear in the bonus tracks,

[73:43]if you go back

[73:43]and listen to the bonus tracks,

[73:44]Rosie,

[73:45]you hear,

[73:45]essentially,

[73:45]it's like,

[73:46]well,

[73:46]it's Collard Greens

[73:47]right there,

[73:47]so,

[73:47]yeah.

[73:48]Okay,

[73:48]cool.

[73:48]You can hear where they're,

[73:49]THC,

[73:50]I know nothing about THC,

[73:52]but there's a producer

[73:53]named THC.

[73:53]Nothing at all.

[73:54]Tell me more.

[73:54]No.

[73:55]Yeah.

[73:56]I don't know.

[73:57]I get these cookies

[73:58]sent to me.

[73:59]Oh, yeah?

[73:59]I don't know.

[74:01]But there's a producer,

[74:02]THC,

[74:02]who is on this album

[74:04]on a couple songs

[74:04]with more of the bonus

[74:06]than on a lot

[74:07]of the Schoolboy Q,

[74:08]his first album,

[74:10]so that was the,

[74:11]I think that's the connection.

[74:12]So,

[74:12]I mean,

[74:13]that part of the song

[74:13]was he was talking about

[74:14]the people in front of the gun

[74:15]are the ones

[74:16]that are going to live forever,

[74:17]right?

[74:17]He's talking about

[74:18]the actual results

[74:18]of the shooting,

[74:19]whereas then J-Rock

[74:20]comes in and raps about

[74:21]what it's like

[74:22]to be living at a time,

[74:23]what he's got to do.

[74:24]I like this verse.

[74:26]I feel like he's

[74:27]still in a ludicrous flow here,

[74:29]but I don't mind.

[74:29]I'm okay with it.

[74:31]I'm hustling.

[74:31]What else is a thug to do

[74:33]when you eat cheese

[74:33]from the government?

[74:34]Gotta put fire for my dog.

[74:36]Hustling.

[74:36]So good.

[74:38]And I just,

[74:39]I put in,

[74:39]this is the one skit I put in

[74:40]because the mom is mad

[74:42]because she's like,

[74:43]I just want the van back.

[74:43]I got to get out of here.

[74:44]The dad is wasted.

[74:46]And listen to the dad

[74:47]in the background.

[74:47]Yeah,

[74:49]it's hilarious.

[74:49]So funny.

[74:50]I want your body.

[74:51]Shit,

[74:52]I'm trying to get

[74:53]my thing going too.

[74:54]One of them

[74:54]just bring my car back.

[74:56]Shit,

[74:56]he faded.

[74:57]He's feeling good.

[74:58]Look,

[74:59]listen to him.

[74:59]He's got a big old

[75:00]fat ass.

[75:01]Fat ass.

[75:01]So these are his real parents.

[75:04]Yes.

[75:05]These are real voicemails,

[75:06]right?

[75:06]I want your body.

[75:07]Look at that big old

[75:09]fat ass.

[75:10]See,

[75:11]he has hair.

[75:12]Shit,

[75:13]he ain't even tripping

[75:14]off them dominoes no more.

[75:15]Just bring the car back.

[75:15]Did somebody say dominoes?

[75:17]That somebody say dominoes

[75:18]is so funny.

[75:19]It's such a funny way

[75:20]to end like such a terrible

[75:21]song about like such a terrible

[75:22]where you're laughing about

[75:24]like that original

[75:24]he's hangering

[75:25]for dominoes joke.

[75:26]It's so,

[75:27]such an interesting

[75:28]juxtaposition in this album.

[75:29]Poetic justice

[75:30]with Drake.

[75:32]Man,

[75:32]I swear that she can get it.

[75:34]Say if you a bad bitch,

[75:35]put your hands up.

[75:36]Is this the Drake one?

[75:37]This is,

[75:38]yeah,

[75:39]this is Kendrick here.

[75:40]Hands up high,

[75:41]tell them.

[75:41]And I noticed that

[75:43]just this week,

[75:43]a deluxe edition

[75:45]of Velvet Rope

[75:45]was released.

[75:46]So,

[75:47]imagine that.

[75:48]Yeah.

[75:49]Get those deluxe editions

[75:51]out there.

[75:51]Give it,

[75:52]give it three weeks

[75:53]and we'll have the deluxe edition

[75:54]with the bonus tracks.

[75:55]Yes.

[75:55]That comes out.

[75:56]I was listening,

[75:58]I was listening to this

[75:58]and I was looking at it on Genius

[75:59]and I was like,

[76:00]God,

[76:00]who is singing in the

[76:00]back?

[76:01]She sounds so good.

[76:02]And you might recognize

[76:02]this name from,

[76:03]what,

[76:04]a couple of weeks ago?

[76:05]You might recognize

[76:07]this name from the video

[76:08]that I made you guys watch

[76:09]where we all felt

[76:10]very uncomfortable.

[76:11]Janet Jackson.

[76:14]Poetic justice.

[76:15]In the background.

[76:16]All right.

[76:17]Well,

[76:20]they're sampling it,

[76:21]right?

[76:21]Or did,

[76:21]she didn't come in

[76:22]and sing it for me.

[76:23]Did she?

[76:23]Isn't this the same?

[76:24]I don't know,

[76:24]but she's on the,

[76:25]she's on the,

[76:26]she gets ready for it.

[76:27]So good.

[76:29]She and,

[76:30]she and Jimmy,

[76:30]Jam and Terry,

[76:31]Terry Lewis get a,

[76:32]a writing credit on this one.

[76:34]Sampled.

[76:35]Anytime,

[76:36]anyplace.

[76:37]So now we're getting

[76:38]into Good Kid,

[76:38]Mad City.

[76:39]This is Good Kid.

[76:40]We got Pharrell Williams

[76:41]on the intro here.

[76:42]Yeah.

[76:43]He's talking about

[76:44]how he's a good kid.

[76:45]He's not in any gang,

[76:46]but he still gets harassed

[76:47]by them and he's still

[76:48]getting harassed

[76:48]by the police

[76:49]for being black.

[76:49]So,

[76:50]tough world out there.

[76:52]I love the baseline

[76:52]in this one.

[76:52]I believe this was also

[76:54]produced by Pharrell

[76:55]and a guy named Chad Hugo.

[76:56]They're called the Neptunes.

[76:58]You guys know the Neptunes

[76:59]at all?

[77:00]Yeah.

[77:00]Yes.

[77:01]Oh,

[77:02]I mean,

[77:02]yeah.

[77:02]So,

[77:03]so the Neptunes,

[77:05]I,

[77:05]Billboard called them

[77:06]the number one producer

[77:07]of the 2000s.

[77:09]They recently got inducted

[77:10]into Songwriters Hall of Fame.

[77:11]So I thought we could do

[77:12]a list celebrating

[77:14]the top songs ever produced

[77:15]or written by the Neptunes.

[77:16]A third list?

[77:19]This is great.

[77:20]This is great.

[77:21]This seems like a lot

[77:21]of lists.

[77:22]Is there,

[77:22]Russell,

[77:23]is there the third verse

[77:24]of a very popular song

[77:25]from the 90s?

[77:26]I don't know.

[77:28]Yes.

[77:28]I don't know.

[77:29]Yes.

[77:29]We'll find out.

[77:30]I guarantee there's

[77:30]a lot of these songs

[77:32]are from the 90s.

[77:33]I just want to make sure

[77:34]because I got to get

[77:34]Rob ready.

[77:35]These guys have written

[77:36]songs.

[77:36]They have,

[77:37]they have produced

[77:38]Beyonce,

[77:39]Britney Spears,

[77:40]Timberlake,

[77:40]Jay-Z,

[77:41]Mystical,

[77:41]and Rob's guy,

[77:42]Lenny Kravitz.

[77:43]I know we're not allowed

[77:43]to talk about Lenny Kravitz

[77:45]anymore, Rob,

[77:45]but they did produce

[77:47]a Lenny Kravitz song.

[77:48]Snoop Dogg.

[77:50]So,

[77:50]I made a promise.

[77:51]They actually became big

[77:52]in the early 90s.

[77:53]1992,

[77:54]they were discovered

[77:54]by a guy named

[77:55]Teddy Riley.

[77:56]You guys remember

[77:56]Teddy Riley

[77:57]from the Janet episode?

[77:58]He was the kind of

[77:59]the pioneer of the New

[78:00]Jack Swing Sound.

[78:01]Remember that guy?

[78:02]So,

[78:03]these guys were...

[78:05]Time is a flat circle,

[78:06]Russell.

[78:06]This is all coming.

[78:07]This is blowing my mind.

[78:08]So,

[78:08]these guys,

[78:09]no,

[78:09]these guys,

[78:09]this guy,

[78:10]Teddy Riley,

[78:11]finds these guys

[78:12]and they start

[78:12]working with him

[78:13]and so,

[78:14]they actually wrote

[78:15]Rump Shaker

[78:16]by Rex and Effect.

[78:18]Wow.

[78:18]The Neptunes wrote this one.

[78:26]They were the guys

[78:27]that came up with like,

[78:28]okay,

[78:29]what do we want

[78:30]to do?

[78:30]What do we do?

[78:31]And the guy,

[78:31]one guy's like,

[78:32]well,

[78:33]I really want to zoom,

[78:34]zoom.

[78:34]And the guy's like,

[78:35]oh man,

[78:35]I do too.

[78:36]I want to zoom,

[78:36]zoom too.

[78:37]What do you want to zoom,

[78:38]zoom?

[78:38]And the guy's like,

[78:39]I'd really love to zoom,

[78:41]zoom your boom,

[78:42]boom.

[78:42]And the guy's like,

[78:43]that's what I was thinking too.

[78:44]Like,

[78:44]it's so good.

[78:45]Check,

[78:46]baby,

[78:46]check.

[78:47]I also read,

[78:48]read that there's a line

[78:49]in that Rex and Effect song

[78:50]where it's,

[78:51]I like the way you comb your hair,

[78:52]which was actually lifted

[78:53]from a song called

[78:54]I Like It

[78:55]by DeBarge,

[78:57]who I believe was the guy

[78:58]who got annulled

[78:59]from Janet Jackson,

[79:00]right?

[79:00]Yes.

[79:02]I like the way

[79:03]you comb your hair.

[79:04]Warren G sampled that song.

[79:06]Nice.

[79:06]God,

[79:08]guys,

[79:08]we're so smart.

[79:09]I read Rex and Effect

[79:09]only had one other top 100 hit.

[79:11]Do you guys remember

[79:12]what it was?

[79:12]They didn't do Tootsie Roll.

[79:15]They did Knockin' Boots.

[79:18]Do you guys remember

[79:19]Knockin' Boots?

[79:20]Yes.

[79:20]Knockin' da boots,

[79:21]da boots.

[79:22]No,

[79:22]you might be thinking

[79:23]of H-Town.

[79:23]Wait a minute.

[79:26]I know this is tough.

[79:26]Do we have a,

[79:27]you might,

[79:28]you're thinking of H-Town

[79:29]Knockin' da Boots.

[79:29]That's Knockin' da boots.

[79:31]Good love, body rockin',

[79:31]knockin' boots.

[79:32]What,

[79:33]what's Knockin' da boots

[79:36]by who?

[79:36]Rex and Effect?

[79:37]Yeah.

[79:37]Rex?

[79:39]I don't know this one.

[79:40]Am I wrong?

[79:40]Effect.

[79:41]Guys,

[79:42]I'm sure you're right.

[79:43]Rex and Effect?

[79:44]Oh,

[79:45]it's Knockin' Boots.

[79:46]It's kind of like Puss in Boots.

[79:46]Knockin' Boots.

[79:47]Knockin' Boots.

[79:48]I see.

[79:49]Go to 30 seconds here.

[79:58]Look at that.

[80:00]Ooh,

[80:00]I like the,

[80:01]I like the keys.

[80:01]Now,

[80:01]do you think there's a chance

[80:02]that they use Zoom Zoom

[80:04]and,

[80:04]did they just say Zoom Zoom

[80:06]and Boom Boom again

[80:06]in the song?

[80:07]They're reusing their rhymes?

[80:09]We might need more Rex and Effect

[80:13]in our lives.

[80:14]I'm trying to figure out

[80:16]what this song is.

[80:16]Some Onyx,

[80:16]some Rex and Effect,

[80:17]some Onyx.

[80:18]All right,

[80:20]next song on the list

[80:21]is one of,

[80:23]from one of Aaron's favorite groups.

[80:25]This is Old Dirty Bastard,

[80:26]Got Your Money.

[80:27]Check this one out.

[80:28]Old Dirty Bastard,

[80:29]Got Your Money.

[80:31]This was played

[80:34]at every stag dance ever

[80:36]at Richfield High School

[80:37]between 1996 and 99.

[80:40]Is this Khalees on the Hook?

[80:42]It is Khalees on the Hook.

[80:44]Ah, all right.

[80:45]Speaking of Khalees,

[80:47]I've heard that name before.

[80:48]Where have I heard that before?

[80:49]I believe Khalees is next up

[80:51]on the list

[80:52]because we're bringing

[80:53]all the boys to the yard.

[80:54]Who's bringing it?

[80:55]Khalees and the Milkshake.

[80:56]This was produced

[80:57]and written by the Neptunes.

[80:59]This is such a track.

[81:01]This,

[81:03]the background,

[81:05]the bass on it is so cool.

[81:06]Produced and written

[81:08]by Williams and Hugo.

[81:09]And I was reading, Rob,

[81:11]a milkshake is a girl's sensual energy.

[81:13]And what makes her stand out

[81:16]from the others?

[81:16]Dancing seductively

[81:18]and attracting attention

[81:19]from the boys in the club.

[81:20]What are your thoughts

[81:21]on the girls who bring the milkshake?

[81:23]Does it bring you to the yard or not?

[81:25]I'd always heard

[81:26]that the milkshake was about

[81:27]as Aaron calls it,

[81:28]sloppy toppy.

[81:29]That's what I heard.

[81:31]Is it not?

[81:33]This blows my mind.

[81:34]I thought you were singing about that

[81:37]the whole time

[81:38]that she was singing

[81:38]about the milkshake.

[81:39]Was I wrong?

[81:40]I feel like it's more ethereal than that.

[81:42]Did you guys see this year

[81:43]with Daniel Logobot?

[81:44]I had a whole lactose intolerant joke

[81:45]ready to go.

[81:46]Blew it up.

[81:47]Actually, Rob,

[81:48]Khalees in 2014

[81:50]announced that she actually

[81:51]does not drink milkshakes.

[81:52]Maybe that's why.

[81:55]Oof.

[81:55]But do any of us really drink?

[81:57]Like, drink milkshakes?

[81:58]I mean,

[81:58]you go through life without milkshakes.

[81:59]No, but like,

[82:00]I wouldn't say I drink milkshakes.

[82:02]Also, like, they don't come up that frequently.

[82:02]You can just, like, swear them off.

[82:03]Like, I mean,

[82:03]how often do you guys have a milkshake?

[82:04]Once a year?

[82:05]Yeah, or like, maybe a day.

[82:07]That's normal too, right?

[82:08]Like, once a day.

[82:08]That's fine.

[82:09]I'm not anti-milkshake.

[82:11]I'm just saying, like,

[82:11]they're not, like,

[82:12]that readily available.

[82:13]I think if somebody said,

[82:14]you drink milkshakes,

[82:15]I would have to say yes.

[82:16]But if they were saying,

[82:17]oh, are you drinking milkshakes?

[82:18]I'd say no,

[82:19]because I haven't drank a milkshake

[82:20]in a long time.

[82:20]No, it's been,

[82:21]it's been too long for me, in fact.

[82:23]Now I need a milkshake.

[82:24]And I'm more of a frosty guy,

[82:25]so I'm eating those milkshakes.

[82:26]I'm not drinking it.

[82:27]Now, a frosty would bring...

[82:29]With a wooden spoon.

[82:29]There you go.

[82:30]Yes, my frosty would bring

[82:31]my boys to the yard big time.

[82:32]Next song on the list,

[82:34]I actually put it on,

[82:35]not because I enjoy the song,

[82:36]but actually Maxim called it

[82:38]the most annoying song ever,

[82:39]so I thought we would listen to it.

[82:41]It's Gwen Stefani, Hollaback.

[82:42]Oh, most annoying song ever?

[82:45]What do you guys think?

[82:46]Is this annoying or not?

[82:49]These drums are too hard

[82:51]for me to be annoyed.

[82:51]I mean, I don't care.

[82:52]All you have to do is see

[82:54]this song sung once at karaoke,

[82:55]and it's one of the worst,

[82:56]because it is longer than you think,

[82:58]and you realize how good

[82:59]Gwen Stefani is,

[83:00]because anybody else doing this,

[83:01]and it makes you want to

[83:02]jump out of the bar.

[83:03]Written and produced by the Neptunes,

[83:05]another one by these guys.

[83:06]I mean, it's probably like,

[83:08]yeah, it's probably the

[83:10]utmost distillation of their sound,

[83:13]where it's so minimalist,

[83:14]it's just some drums,

[83:15]some synths playing minimal chords,

[83:18]and then...

[83:19]And someone's, you know, talking,

[83:20]like, you can't get any more

[83:21]Neptunes-y than that beat.

[83:22]The Neptunes?

[83:23]I thought they were the ones

[83:24]who did, like,

[83:24]love me, love me,

[83:26]say that you love me.

[83:28]What band am I thinking of?

[83:29]It's not that,

[83:29]because that's the Cardigans.

[83:30]That's the Cardigans.

[83:32]What?

[83:32]I don't care about anything.

[83:35]It was like the Neptunes,

[83:36]but they sang...

[83:37]Okay, never mind.

[83:38]Nobody's ever going to hear this, guys.

[83:40]That's the beauty of it.

[83:41]I edit it out.

[83:41]Rob looks so smart.

[83:42]It's like the Cranberries.

[83:44]It's like the Rolling Stones.

[83:45]It's like the Smashing Pumpkins.

[83:47]The embarrassing thing about this is...

[83:49]Rob, weren't you, like...

[83:50]Anything with the in front of it.

[83:51]Weren't you an astronomy teacher?

[83:52]Shouldn't you know the band

[83:53]that's the same as a planet?

[83:54]Astronomy or astrology?

[83:58]No, it's astronomy, first of all.

[84:01]I can never remember those two.

[84:02]And second of all,

[84:04]I am a big fan of listening to

[84:05]Planet Jokin coming in.

[84:09]Who knows what planet

[84:10]I'm going to pick right now?

[84:10]You just don't know.

[84:11]It could be any planet.

[84:12]Uranus.

[84:14]Uranus.

[84:15]Is there really 10 planets?

[84:17]What's the last planet called?

[84:19]Because when we were kids,

[84:20]there was only nine.

[84:21]Now I think there's 10.

[84:21]Yeah, no, they got rid of one, Russell.

[84:23]What'd they get rid of?

[84:24]You're backwards.

[84:24]Yeah, Pluto.

[84:25]They got rid of Pluto, my dude.

[84:26]It's a minor planet now.

[84:28]I don't even know how I'm supposed to sleep at night.

[84:30]It's just a rock.

[84:31]Listen, I know what you're thinking.

[84:32]Minor planet?

[84:33]Am I going to go back to a Conrad Murray bit?

[84:35]No.

[84:35]Okay, do not connect those dots.

[84:38]I'm not going to do it.

[84:38]Give me my milk.

[84:39]I want my milk.

[84:40]They couldn't find any mommy's milk on Pluto

[84:42]and said it's no longer a planet, huh?

[84:43]I want Mars milk.

[84:45]I'm on Mars now.

[84:47]All right, last song on the list.

[84:48]Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

[84:49]We got to hear what Vincent thought of that joke.

[84:51]He liked it.

[84:53]He thought it was good.

[84:56]He loves those Conrad Murray jokes.

[84:57]That's sick.

[84:58]You got to play this with,

[84:59]don't you have a bunch of Rosie's laughs somewhere too?

[85:01]You got to play like that with a bunch of Rosie's laughs.

[85:03]I deleted all those.

[85:04]What?

[85:05]Oh, you did?

[85:05]They got tossed.

[85:09]Don't worry, man.

[85:10]There's lots I could choose from.

[85:11]Everybody says, oh, that Rosie guy and his laugh.

[85:14]I love his laugh.

[85:15]So then you had this whole track

[85:16]and then you just,

[85:17]you just chucked it.

[85:18]I love it.

[85:18]His laughs are good,

[85:19]but when he doesn't laugh,

[85:20]it cuts three times as deep.

[85:22]That's the trade off.

[85:23]That's what it is.

[85:24]Last song on the list.

[85:26]This was from 2004.

[85:27]Pharrell is on the opening verse

[85:29]and it was produced by Pharrell and Hugo,

[85:31]the Neptunes.

[85:32]It's Drop It Like It's Hot by Snoop Dogg.

[85:34]Oh, yes.

[85:35]You can hear the connection

[85:37]between these songs, can't you?

[85:39]The bass as melody in the back, kind of.

[85:42]Oh, nice rap.

[85:44]I read rap, but Drop It Like It's Hot

[85:47]is kind of,

[85:47]kind of like the milkshake.

[85:48]It's meaning moving your butt down

[85:50]to the dance floor.

[85:51]Also similar to Little John's Get Low.

[85:53]Did you ever drop it like it's hot?

[85:56]On the dance floor?

[85:59]I've dropped it like it's hot many times, Russell.

[86:00]Yeah.

[86:01]Okay.

[86:01]Yeah.

[86:02]And often some women have said,

[86:04]what feels so hot out here?

[86:06]There's something out here.

[86:07]There's something pressing against me right now

[86:08]that feels really hot.

[86:09]What is that?

[86:10]I actually read Snoop Dogg was on a podcast recently

[86:13]of one of Rob's favorite boxers, Logan Paul.

[86:15]And he was talking about the rappers

[86:17]out on the West Coast.

[86:18]And he said, I did my thing for 20 something years.

[86:20]And I was at one point,

[86:22]maybe the king of the West Coast.

[86:23]I've given the crown to Kendrick Lamar.

[86:24]And then he said, actually, I didn't give it to him.

[86:26]He took it, but he takes his hat off to him.

[86:29]He said, he's been running wild.

[86:31]And the music that's been coming out of

[86:32]from the West Coast has been very, very good.

[86:34]So West Coast, one of the West Coast Kings,

[86:36]but I don't know if he's on the Mount Rush.

[86:39]What is it?

[86:39]Mount Rush Less or Mount?

[86:41]No, but Snoop Dogg given props to Kendrick, right?

[86:45]It's good that Snoop Dogg is learning

[86:47]his lesson about talking about West and East Coast

[86:49]rapping in front of a crowd.

[86:50]That never goes wrong.

[86:51]It's never a big deal.

[86:52]Nice work.

[86:53]Mad City.

[86:55]This is Kendrick with Schoolboy Q here.

[86:57]All got along.

[86:59]They probably got me down.

[87:00]All got along.

[87:01]Yes, right.

[87:03]And then here's where this song gets wild, right?

[87:07]Here, I'll let it drop here.

[87:08]I mean, this is so good.

[87:13]I like this.

[87:13]And then I knew Schoolboy Q before

[87:17]I knew Kendrick Lamar.

[87:18]I don't know why.

[87:18]Like I just heard one song and then

[87:20]went and found a few others.

[87:22]And so my, my, uh, my intro into this,

[87:27]I don't know what he used to call like acid rap.

[87:29]And, you know, cause they're always like

[87:30]mumbling through everything and stuff like that.

[87:32]Kendrick's not that, but that's the

[87:34]Schoolboy Q side of things.

[87:36]And so when I, whenever I hear Schoolboy,

[87:39]I mean, he's got a distinctive,

[87:40]Kendrick's got a distinct,

[87:41]how these guys found each other, you know,

[87:43]and, and created that group is just,

[87:45]it's crazy how these people,

[87:47]come together and I cannot get enough

[87:50]of Schoolboy Q with Kendrick Lamar.

[87:52]I love that perspective on it.

[87:54]Cause I, I love, I know that feeling of like

[87:56]being a fan of someone who shows up

[87:58]on someone else's album and you're just like,

[88:00]oh, this is so cool that they're on there.

[88:01]Like, I love that, that perspective

[88:03]of coming at it from the,

[88:04]the smaller player on the album.

[88:06]That's great.

[88:07]Uh, Swimming Pools.

[88:08]This song is about drinking.

[88:10]This is,

[88:11]it's sad because he said,

[88:14]well, what's the one thing that can

[88:15]make everybody relate to it?

[88:16]And it's like, I can say,

[88:17]do a song about drinking too much.

[88:18]He said, in my family,

[88:19]you're either a teetoler

[88:21]or you just got hammered drunk.

[88:23]Yeah, I had, I,

[88:27]the same friend who has,

[88:29]who put me on to Kendrick many years ago,

[88:31]I texted him cause I was,

[88:32]we were listening to this album this week

[88:34]and he was like, yeah,

[88:34]I was at this event not that long ago

[88:36]and some kids who were working the event,

[88:39]like the, the wait, wait staff,

[88:40]this song came on and they were like

[88:42]going crazy for it.

[88:43]And he was like, I never realized

[88:44]this would be a song people would turn up for.

[88:46]Yeah.

[88:46]Like I guess,

[88:47]if you just divorce it from context,

[88:49]you're like, oh, it's about drinking.

[88:50]That's the thing is it's,

[88:51]it's described as a club banger.

[88:53]I don't know, man.

[88:55]It's a sad song.

[88:56]It is if you listen to it,

[88:58]but the beat and the sound of it is so good.

[88:59]If you speed that up and just,

[89:01]you know, take a little bit of it.

[89:03]I mean,

[89:03]I guess that's true.

[89:04]When they tell somebody.

[89:05]Yeah.

[89:06]If you played in the club and it's loud

[89:07]and it's got that kind of club whistle thing,

[89:09]like

[89:09]us four guys that are expert

[89:13]at what's going on in the club.

[89:15]I've been to a club before.

[89:16]I went to a club.

[89:17]I went to Eclipse once.

[89:17]This Eclipse.

[89:20]Come on.

[89:22]So good.

[89:23]Such a good pull.

[89:24]Damn,

[89:25]that was a good pull.

[89:25]That's like five people are like,

[89:27]damn,

[89:28]that's a great pull by Eclipse.

[89:29]Jesus Christ.

[89:31]So at the end of that,

[89:33]they do the,

[89:34]the talking bit,

[89:36]the skit where they're,

[89:37]they're getting guys back for jumping Kendrick

[89:39]and their buddy Dave gets shot.

[89:40]And so the rest of the album is kind of a,

[89:43]I don't know,

[89:44]kind of a looking at how that just,

[89:47]just how terrible it is where they're growing up.

[89:49]Sing about me.

[89:50]I'm dying of thirst.

[89:52]This is the one that has Maya Angelou at the end

[89:54]doing a baptism.

[89:55]But I mean,

[89:57]to listen to this directly after somebody gets shot

[89:59]in the skit before it's like,

[90:01]it's so powerful.

[90:02]And this is,

[90:06]this is the song that's almost 11 minutes long,

[90:08]right?

[90:08]And like,

[90:09]it's kind of like the first seven minutes is one section.

[90:11]Yeah.

[90:12]So this seems to me to be like when,

[90:14]this for me is when the concept album,

[90:17]sort of ends,

[90:18]right?

[90:18]Like,

[90:18]yes,

[90:19]the last two songs are a bit more kind of tacked on.

[90:22]This is kind of where he's like finishing the story.

[90:23]And I think,

[90:24]I think there's some stuff on real that,

[90:26]that could apply.

[90:27]Okay.

[90:28]But in the end,

[90:29]definitely not Compton at the end,

[90:30]a real featuring Anna wise of sunny moon.

[90:35]This is a nice bounce.

[90:36]Wait,

[90:38]what group is she from?

[90:39]Sunny moon.

[90:42]Do you know sunny moon?

[90:45]I don't.

[90:46]No,

[90:46]no,

[90:47]no,

[90:47]no,

[90:47]no,

[90:47]I'm just trying to say,

[90:48]no,

[90:49]I was trying to think cause there's,

[90:50]I know there's a whole LA R and B scene.

[90:51]Like there's a group called King,

[90:53]um,

[90:54]that I just don't really know that well.

[90:56]I was trying to figure out trying to place that,

[90:58]but I like the bounce.

[90:58]I wonder what they go as Halloween.

[91:00]Oh,

[91:01]Rob.

[91:01]Probably.

[91:04]She's also a,

[91:05]she's also part of something called built to fade,

[91:08]which by itself,

[91:09]I have no,

[91:10]nothing about them.

[91:10]It's just,

[91:11]that's a great name.

[91:12]It's a good name for any sort of group.

[91:14]Do you built to fade?

[91:15]Do you think the Pharaohs were in that movie?

[91:17]Are we originally going to go as mummies?

[91:18]Like,

[91:19]is that the jump they made?

[91:20]Like a mummy,

[91:21]classic Halloween costume.

[91:22]Get that toilet paper,

[91:22]spend it all around your mummy.

[91:24]Good to go.

[91:25]Pharaohs.

[91:25]Not so much.

[91:27]Well,

[91:30]that's how you do a mummy here.

[91:31]And I mean,

[91:31]what are you talking about?

[91:31]That's how you do it.

[91:32]I know.

[91:32]Yeah.

[91:33]A hundred percent.

[91:33]Uh,

[91:34]so that the whole song,

[91:35]you can,

[91:35]you can hear him,

[91:36]the voice changes everything and it's kind of a closure.

[91:38]And then the last parts of the last part is a skit where the mom's like,

[91:44]you know,

[91:44]you got to take the music seriously and do all that.

[91:46]And then all of a sudden,

[91:47]so you get this kind of emotional ending.

[91:48]And then all of a sudden you get this just absolute blast of a track.

[91:51]Dre was like,

[91:52]we're going to do this and it needs to be on the album.

[91:55]And you can tell Kendrick's like,

[91:56]uh,

[91:57]okay.

[91:59]We've got Compton with Dr.

[92:01]Dre.

[92:02]Yeah.

[92:02]This thing doesn't fit.

[92:03]And this is just a total modern day.

[92:05]Yeah.

[92:06]The fun track.

[92:07]Like I enjoy it,

[92:08]but I mean,

[92:08]yeah,

[92:09]super fun.

[92:10]I mean,

[92:10]just blazes.

[92:11]It's like,

[92:11]it's like play this thing loud.

[92:12]Yeah.

[92:13]I mean,

[92:14]it's just such a,

[92:14]we've talked about that West coast sound with the,

[92:17]can you get to Dre?

[92:17]Can you just get to Dre a little bit?

[92:19]Cause I mean,

[92:20]uh,

[92:20]where is not bad.

[92:21]Let me see.

[92:22]Well,

[92:28]yeah.

[92:28]What's interesting is that anytime you listen to Dre after 2000 is trying to

[92:32]figure out who wrote his verse.

[92:33]Yeah.

[92:34]There it is.

[92:36]Andrea,

[92:44]this time,

[92:44]you know,

[92:44]you hear this is a Kendrick verse.

[92:46]Like,

[92:47]Kendrick wrote this,

[92:48]but Dre raps the hell out of it.

[92:49]Yeah.

[92:49]That's a great point.

[92:51]And Dre at that point is what he's like 56 years old,

[92:53]right?

[92:53]Like,

[92:53]right.

[92:54]He's like,

[92:55]Oh,

[92:56]he's doing like,

[92:56]you know,

[92:57]he's doing like silly jokes.

[92:58]Like it's a rap when I come and I'm done,

[92:59]but like,

[93:00]it's still,

[93:00]it's good when I'm done and I come with like,

[93:01]it's works like it.

[93:03]I don't know.

[93:03]I like it.

[93:04]He's like,

[93:05]uh,

[93:05]I I'm rapping so fast.

[93:06]I hope I don't have a massive stroke after this.

[93:08]I hope I don't have yet another allegation of abuse.

[93:14]No,

[93:15]I've got damn it.

[93:16]I'm just,

[93:17]I'm trying to hit this button fast enough.

[93:18]Listen,

[93:19]I said,

[93:19]I'm going to edit that mess together.

[93:20]Let's get to the rating system.

[93:22]Thanks again,

[93:27]Aaron,

[93:27]for getting all those times.

[93:28]That was a lot.

[93:29]I like listening to this one.

[93:31]What is to pimp a butterfly is right after this one,

[93:34]right?

[93:34]That's his next one after this.

[93:35]Yeah,

[93:36]but it was three years between the two.

[93:37]Yeah.

[93:38]15.

[93:38]Yeah.

[93:39]But what a,

[93:39]I mean,

[93:39]what a,

[93:40]right.

[93:41]Which one did you guys,

[93:42]well,

[93:42]maybe it's part of the rating system.

[93:43]I'll be quiet.

[93:44]Yeah.

[93:45]Cause we all remember how we rated to pimp.

[93:47]A butterfly for sure.

[93:47]Plus I want to remind you,

[93:48]the road,

[93:49]the rating system is relative.

[93:50]So what you think about this compared to the other one is kind of built in

[93:54]with rolling bone.

[93:55]Russell is taking notes about how we all voted on everything.

[93:59]It is on our,

[94:00]our wiki site.

[94:01]So it's back to a better wiki.

[94:02]Everybody's been keeping track of all the votes and what the actual answer is

[94:06]at the end.

[94:06]As you will find out the answer for this one may surprise you.

[94:09]Normally when you put stuff on Wikipedia,

[94:11]there's editors and they'll take something down if it's not real or whatever.

[94:14]It turns out Wikipedia doesn't give a shit.

[94:17]About our podcast.

[94:17]Just like no one ever is anything.

[94:21]Listen,

[94:22]this is a good kid,

[94:25]mad city by Kendrick Lamar.

[94:26]And guys,

[94:27]this,

[94:28]although the songs disappointingly,

[94:30]we're not that scary.

[94:31]Okay.

[94:32]I think we all can agree.

[94:32]It's a pretty good album.

[94:33]Okay.

[94:34]It's got a message.

[94:35]It's got a,

[94:35]it's just a fascinating how it's set up,

[94:37]but that's not what this show is about.

[94:39]This is not about,

[94:40]is the album any good?

[94:42]Okay.

[94:42]This is actually about the list.

[94:44]We don't even care about the album.

[94:45]We're more about the list.

[94:46]So right now we're thinking about this.

[94:47]This list does this list right now with this album at one 12 or whatever it was at one.

[94:55]Is this album at one 15?

[94:56]Is this perfectly put there?

[94:58]And that would be rolling.

[94:59]Well,

[95:00]tone.

[95:00]Okay.

[95:00]Or is this album?

[95:02]No good.

[95:03]Okay.

[95:04]This album is very bad.

[95:05]It should not exist.

[95:06]In fact,

[95:06]we should,

[95:07]we should get rid of every copy.

[95:09]Okay.

[95:10]And maybe censor what we're,

[95:11]our kids are listening to these days.

[95:12]Something to think about.

[95:13]Aaron talks about a lot.

[95:14]I think it's a good idea.

[95:15]That would be a,

[95:17]can you repeat that?

[95:17]I was burning books over here and I,

[95:19]I can barely see that over the sound of Huckleberry Finn going flames here.

[95:27]Not all.

[95:29]How do you have so many Rush Limbaugh books that you're burning?

[95:32]See,

[95:32]now there's a twist.

[95:33]I was throwing all my Chucky dogs in that.

[95:34]Or is this album actually really,

[95:38]really good?

[95:38]And it should be up higher up than some of the other albums we've done,

[95:41]such as the strokes.

[95:42]We all remember that.

[95:43]Or the Smiths.

[95:44]You guys remember a lot of good jokes from the Smiths episode.

[95:46]Of course,

[95:47]sure.

[95:47]It was a stold cold classic or our most downloaded episode.

[95:50]The Stooges TVI guarantee us a lifetime of obscurity on this podcast because it was our most popular download due to a glitch in the Samsung system.

[96:00]Russell,

[96:00]speaking of glitches,

[96:01]what do you think of this album?

[96:03]Is it a rolling,

[96:04]well-toned,

[96:04]rolling bone,

[96:05]rolling grown,

[96:05]and we're running a little long tonight.

[96:07]So let's speed it up a little bit,

[96:08]please.

[96:08]I like the idea that it's a concept album or he's telling the story.

[96:11]I remember we talked a few weeks ago about Elton John and it was just like a collection of all these hits.

[96:16]It didn't really make sense.

[96:16]It didn't make a lot of sense.

[96:17]So I like that.

[96:18]This is kind of telling a story.

[96:20]Some of the songs I thought absolutely crushed and Kendrick is just one of a kind.

[96:24]He's it's amazing listening to him.

[96:26]I never really listened to his music before the quest,

[96:28]but you can just tell he's an uber talented musician.

[96:30]He's fantastic to listen to.

[96:32]So for me,

[96:33]I'm going to say it's rolling.

[96:34]Well,

[96:34]tone,

[96:34]you know,

[96:36]also as an uber talented musician,

[96:37]Dave,

[96:39]the guy who drove me home yesterday from the airport,

[96:41]he was,

[96:42]he was doing this German scat stuff and I thought it was really,

[96:45]really good.

[96:45]I was interested in it.

[96:46]I was into it.

[96:46]And that was a callback.

[96:47]If you recall,

[96:48]that was the same episode.

[96:50]Didn't get edited out.

[96:51]Matt rolling.

[96:52]Well,

[96:52]tone rolling,

[96:53]growing a rolling bone.

[96:54]Aaron,

[96:54]you have to laugh out loud.

[96:55]If you start hiding your laughs,

[96:56]that's illegal.

[96:57]Matt,

[96:58]what do you think?

[96:59]You know,

[97:01]so just to pull it back to pimp a butterfly comes after this album.

[97:06]That was at 19 on the list.

[97:08]I think this album is way better than the pimp of butterfly.

[97:11]And because the pimp of butterfly is just so dark and angry.

[97:16]And twisted that I just didn't like it personally.

[97:19]Like this one,

[97:20]I think there's like one bad song on the whole damn album.

[97:23]Like I can listen to those thing day after day after day.

[97:26]And I probably will.

[97:27]Cause it's a great gym album just to put on while you're sitting at the gym.

[97:31]And so I think this is way better than the pimp of butterfly.

[97:34]I even think damn,

[97:35]which is coming in at one 75 is better than the pimp of butterfly.

[97:38]So from a Kendrick standpoint,

[97:40]there's three Kendrick albums on the list.

[97:42]I think this one should be a lot higher than one 15 just from the,

[97:46]you know,

[97:48]everything that comes off of this.

[97:49]It's Dre's next guy.

[97:51]You've got all of these other,

[97:53]uh,

[97:53]rappers that come out of it that are on it and stuff.

[97:56]So I'm going to say it's rolling bone should be way higher in the list.

[97:59]And I'm thinking about why this episode is running too long.

[98:01]And there's no way it's because I've done two separate lists,

[98:04]right?

[98:04]Like that can't be part of it.

[98:05]There's no way.

[98:08]Uh,

[98:10]Aaron,

[98:11]what do you think?

[98:11]Rolling well toned,

[98:12]rolling boned and or rolling grown?

[98:14]Hey,

[98:15]shoot or shoot Rob.

[98:16]I'm,

[98:16]I'm,

[98:16]I'm thinking the same way.

[98:18]Good kid,

[98:18]mad city.

[98:19]I'm thinking the same way Matt is,

[98:20]but I'm thinking,

[98:21]I'm also thinking about damn,

[98:22]um,

[98:23]which one him a Pulitzer.

[98:24]So I,

[98:25]I don't know.

[98:26]It's been a while since I listened back to damn.

[98:28]I've,

[98:29]I listened to this.

[98:29]This is probably the album that I listened to most of Kendrick's.

[98:33]Although I actually personally,

[98:35]as you all will certainly remember,

[98:37]really love to pimp a butterfly.

[98:38]Um,

[98:39]but I don't know if this is better than damn or not.

[98:41]So I'm going to say the same thing I said about Janet Jackson,

[98:43]which is that I think Kendrick is rolling.

[98:46]Well,

[98:46]toned in this spot.

[98:47]I don't know if I would pick this one over damn.

[98:49]We'll find out in two years when we get to damn,

[98:52]but I'm going to give it a rolling well toned.

[98:54]At that point,

[98:55]I'll have to have had found eight,

[98:56]12 more spooky songs.

[98:58]That's something to think about.

[99:02]Uh,

[99:02]and not in a depressing way.

[99:03]It's only like by not this Christmas,

[99:05]but next Christmas we'll be at dam.

[99:07]So like 60 hours until we get to it.

[99:10]So it's not,

[99:12]not two years.

[99:13]It's less than two.

[99:13]Literally.

[99:14]I think Amelia will be driving a car at that point.

[99:16]So,

[99:16]so don't think about that either.

[99:17]All right.

[99:18]So,

[99:19]uh,

[99:20]this actually guys,

[99:21]you were incorrect.

[99:21]She might not.

[99:22]You live in New York.

[99:23]There's no reason for her.

[99:24]You need to have a car.

[99:25]She's in a car.

[99:26]She's an Uber musician.

[99:28]I don't know if I told you about this guy,

[99:29]Dave.

[99:30]I know who does the German scan stuff.

[99:31]Okay.

[99:33]Callback part two.

[99:35]Oh,

[99:36]uh,

[99:36]listen,

[99:37]this is,

[99:37]and unfortunately you guys are incorrect.

[99:38]Okay.

[99:39]I hate to say that to you.

[99:40]I want to be positive.

[99:42]I want to be supportive.

[99:43]Hey,

[99:44]you guys,

[99:46]this is a rolling comp tone evolution.

[99:48]I mean,

[99:51]when you come from,

[99:52]when we've listened to NWA and we've listened to Dre and Snoop,

[99:55]and then all of a sudden we're going from this rap,

[99:57]which is literally just the same beat over and over and the same kind of

[100:02]themes over and over with that.

[100:03]And the funny skits.

[100:05]And now all of a sudden it's like,

[100:06]we've gone from comic books and we're opening up Herman Melville.

[100:11]And of course,

[100:11]Moby Dick,

[100:12]the most famous book I can think of that makes me sound like a smart guy.

[100:15]Okay.

[100:15]So it's like,

[100:16]this is like reading Moby Dick after comic books.

[100:17]This is like intense thematic.

[100:20]Like it's,

[100:20]it's dark,

[100:21]it's light.

[100:21]It's you can tell he had a vision and he executed it,

[100:26]which is what this is all about.

[100:27]And that's why it's a rolling comp tone evolution.

[100:29]You just wanted to say dicks again,

[100:30]didn't you?

[100:31]I have one last time.

[100:32]It's been a while.

[100:33]Okay.

[100:33]We can listen to that song again.

[100:35]Oh,

[100:36]we had to do the Elton John one.

[100:36]Don't,

[100:37]don't forget.

[100:37]Listen.

[100:38]Okay.

[100:39]Next up.

[100:40]Okay.

[100:41]On the album.

[100:42]We have,

[100:44]it's a,

[100:45]it's a British band.

[100:46]It's a,

[100:46]it's a British band and they're talking about integration.

[100:48]And so they go,

[100:48]Oh,

[100:49]it's,

[100:49]it's disintegration,

[100:50]mate.

[100:51]It's the cure with disintegration.

[100:54]Disintegration.

[100:55]Can't wait.

[100:57]Is that like an Australian thing or is that a British thing?

[101:02]Listen,

[101:03]I didn't write anything down.

[101:04]I was in big trouble there.

[101:05]Well,

[101:05]Australia is a British colony.

[101:07]So that's all.

[101:09]It's a good point.

[101:09]It's a good point.

[101:10]Are you talking about King Charles?

[101:14]His British colony?

[101:16]Back.

[101:16]Did it.

[101:16]Interesting.

[101:17]Hey,

[101:17]Rob,

[101:18]do you think if Michael Jackson went bobbing for apples,

[101:20]he would do it in a barrel full of mommy's milk?

[101:22]Oh my God.

[101:24]It's time.

[101:27]Goodbye.

[101:29]I don't know.

[101:31]How am I laughing at that?

[101:33]You and Vincent.

[101:35]He loves the Conrad Murray bits.

[101:38]Every one of them.

[101:39]Russell hates all bodily fluid things,

[101:44]but he's,

[101:44]he's fine with mommy's milk.

[101:45]He's fine with mommy's milk.

[101:46]Yeah.

[101:46]Excuse me.

[101:49]Call me Conrad.

[101:51]Dr.

[101:52]Conrad Murray was my father.

[101:54]He's in jail.
