[00:28]songs it's gonna take me three years we'll be fine this is early for it but it does seem fitting
[00:37]actually oh yeah i mean i guess a corner you kind of start in a corner right the start of the show
[00:43]is kind of a corner i do see that the waterbed soundbite made the cut a few weeks back oh it's
[00:49]never going away you never know i mean it comes up way more than it does in my normal life i'll
[00:57]see it in a couple of weeks i'll see it in a couple of weeks i'll see it in a couple of weeks
[00:59]i'll see it in a couple of weeks i'll see it in a couple of weeks i'll see it in a couple of weeks
[01:00]this resulted in a text chain that celebrated the music excoriated the order and led us to
[01:04]making this podcast we are far from experts we promise to do almost no research all opinions
[01:09]are our own unless you disagree please sit back and enjoy beck did it better we are all the way
[01:15]up to album 119 actually aaron i disagree with you i thought your brother was pretty good you

[01:25]interrupted you that's what he gets for bringing up the puking in the outfield story
[01:29]well there's my brother he'll be so happy to see me hit a home run
[01:35]sorry rob i disagreed during your opening
[01:41]this is from 1960 1969 it's sly and the family stone with stand you have to say it like that
[01:50]because there's an exclamation point in it to stand uh now listen guys before we get started
[01:55]this is real
[01:55]okay i was looking up um scatman crothers i heard scatman crothers is alive the actor from the
[02:00]shining and i was like oh i thought scatman crothers was the guy who did i'm the scatman
[02:05]and it turns out that guy is named scatman john there were two famous scatmen no well
[02:11]there's scat there's two famous scatmans two famous and scatman um and so he's a scatman
[02:19]i looked up scatman john and i and i have some bad news and this is real this is something i made
[02:26]and i'm kind of regretting it hang on robert all of your google searches in all caps
[02:29]i'm telling my browser what's up okay i'm showing my browser i'm in charge
[02:36]you're not shifting the whole time no it's caps like i'm not a psycho you know what i'm right
[02:42]shifting i'm right shifting the whole time i'm using my right fingers to right shift like a
[02:46]sicko that's sick right shifting like crazy
[02:49]i don't know if my right shift button has ever been pushed on my keyboard now that i look at it
[02:53]so scatman john just to let you know you left shift if you're typing a left key like you left
[02:58]shift i always i always left shift i always left shift yeah i do two fingers at once
[03:03]wait what are you supposed to right shift on those yes you guys are shifting with the other
[03:09]hand and you're typing yeah what if it's like a capital w what do you do didn't you ever pass
[03:14]z-bug in like fifth grade or fourth grade what the hell what kind of class b typing classes
[03:19]i i took the discount i took uh davis meekin and davis meekin he was not good at typing he was
[03:27]not great well it's mavis beacon but it's for cheaper god damn it you guys didn't do mavis
[03:33]beacon typing that joke doesn't land with you guys i'm doing davis meekin i thought the cookies
[03:38]got sent to you this week it sounds like they got sent to rob so here's the thing yeah davis
[03:42]meekin was like ah fuck it type while you want just use one finger who the fuck cares i was like
[03:47]mom you should not have got the discount typing program you should not have got the discount typing program
[03:49]davis meekin he's like he's like you're mostly going to play use keyboards to play video games
[03:56]anyway so just know wasd shift is run okay get out of here um anyway listen guys aaron i don't
[04:02]want to talk about davis meekin anymore okay that's not fair it's not gonna be a bit no davis
[04:06]meekin and no stops saying so much shit about your brother you did an excellent job i'll tell
[04:11]you what it's all fair this now i feel really bad for doing this bit did you have a shirt on
[04:15]did you have a shirt on when you did this i did have a shirt on it i'm sad to say that the scat
[04:19]john famous scat man it turns out one of two famous i mean in this year in memoriam you could
[04:27]have multiple scat men it's kind of crazy but 90 he passed away december 3rd 1999 so i thought what
[04:35]better way look at the number one question that somebody asked people at people also ask what is
[04:39]the number one question what disability does scat man john have well you know from his song
[04:43]he stuttered because he said i i stutter but not when i sing that was the irony is that scat man
[04:49]had a stutter and he spoke out about it and that's why you know what that's why today on
[04:53]veterans day i'm in my full navy white sitting here i am saluting our nation's hero scat man
[05:00]john so i have i have made a funeral song for scat man john and again this is something i don't
[05:06]regret i think this is a great idea it's six minutes long so let's play it
[05:19]i turned the scat man into a minor key slow dirge
[05:35]what i don't even know what album we're doing anymore i spent an hour not with my family
[05:41]figuring out how to turn the scat man into a minor key dirge i kind of don't mind it like it's i mean
[05:47]it's not bad it's kind of like a chopped and screwed scat man
[05:50]man this is why we do two episodes a night rob would have never pulled this shit out of two
[05:57]we gotta keep it more busy
[06:00]so to you scat man i give you the beck did it better navel salute
[06:10]coming up from a navel that's how i did it so
[06:14]we miss you scat man we love you
[06:17]aaron do you have anything you want to say about scat man john
[06:19]no i actually really enjoyed your remix
[06:21]yeah well if the scat man can do it so can you and i think that those words are
[06:25]never been truer than today so listen enough of this nonsense okay enough this is crazy
[06:30]can we i mean i i i'm legitimately want to know can we hear just a little bit of that scat man
[06:35]dude yeah can we play the real one this was this not a huge song in your guys's childhood
[06:40]i'm still confused about the all caps
[06:41]this is a giant song in my childhood
[06:45]i'm scat man
[06:46]whoa
[06:47]wait a second are we doing sly the family stone or what's going on
[06:50]i don't know you think i listened to the actual album
[06:53]okay i remember now
[06:57]oh my god do you guys not know the scat man song well this bit would not work
[07:01]i'll be honest i was a little bit confused between scat man and fat man school
[07:07]oh now i got it
[07:08]fat boy slim too there's a lot out there
[07:11]and we salute you all
[07:12]so now does this make more sense
[07:17]russ's friends are not gonna text him this week about how great the episode was i can tell you that
[07:30]okay
[07:30]i'll send it to you
[07:34]we'll probably get a positive text about radiohead after the beginning of this thing right
[07:39]listen 12 inch listen extra remix that vocals only i whip out my big 12 inch
[07:46]uh so here's the thing of my record that plays the blues of course uh here's the thing is that
[07:51]uh listen two things number one if you shift like i do with the left hand and the left key shift key
[07:56]type in shift like rob hashtag shift shift like rob 802 277 back also send a send a video of
[08:03]yourself typing a capital w because how the fuck do you do that like this i put my thumb here and
[08:08]then my finger two fingers at a time it's no big deal and then uh if you think you don't use your
[08:13]pinky no i use my i use my ring and then i use my middle for the w i just tried it
[08:17]so if i'm gonna do it at all i would use my pinky to shift and then go you're using your ring finger
[08:25]and then
[08:26]this album is only eight songs long russ we're gonna be fine okay if you thought my scatman
[08:35]funeral dirge was good go hashtag uh rip scatman okay send that in 802 277 back or wherever just
[08:42]or just tell the guys
[08:43]apparently that's something we do too is we just text the other co-hosts and they text me
[08:46]giving us zero content so a lot of that been going on i'm so upset sometimes i need to calm
[08:50]down you know how i like to calm down i listen to the radio let's turn it on
[08:54]sometimes when i'm writing this song i think about the people listening along yes i used to think that
[09:12]it would be in the thousands now i know it's just mostly our friends
[09:19]there's mostly matt's friends sarah and kirsten there's magic mike and brian the brother of aaron
[09:36]all these folks love my penis jokes
[09:39]there's a wife at gmail there's
[09:42]there's banny and neil
[09:44]there's carrie and gretta
[09:51]yes
[09:53]listened to by dozens of folks
[09:56]buried from burnsville loves he ain't no bleaching jokes
[10:01]and then there's darren and don't forget about the data
[10:12]listen to about that many people
[10:15]when you want to hear about the greatest albums all the time
[10:21]i noticed you could you can get one little shout out for the complimentary movie goers out there
[10:27]oh i forgot about uh aaron's recording friend i forgot about replacement sky and i forgot about
[10:35]complimentary movie goer guy and i forgot about my two sisters
[10:39]my bad
[10:42]and melissa and suzanne there i said i'm gonna edit that in later it's gonna be totally cool
[10:48]listen we are here talking about stand by sliding the family stone and this is a no nonsense podcast
[10:53]we're getting right down to business okay we're not trying to do anything avant-garde or cool
[10:57]because we actually get criticized for it and people say mean things to us listen but i would
[11:02]rather not be anywhere else especially not in bed but i'm talking to these three guys
[11:06]right now who want to talk about sliding the family stone and the album stand uh i've got
[11:11]matt minneapolis matt how are you doing just doing great rob very excited can't wait to get into it
[11:18]i'm thanks for having me i'm feeding off that energy yum yum yum lick it up uh i got a russell
[11:23]minnesota russell how are you doing guys my beat is getting stronger and my music's getting longer
[11:28]too boom shakalaka boom yeah
[11:31]your beat's getting longer i never mind uh no no no rob the beat's getting stronger oh the
[11:40]beat's getting stronger about that
[11:41]that's true that's true i mean it is i mean it really is a vicious assault going on if you
[11:48]really looked at that like if you if you did it to somebody else they'd be like you sir you need
[11:52]to stop like that's too much it's just going to hang on i think sir sir please well thank you
[12:01]first of all thank you for calling me sir i was knighted okay i i have a friend who started a new
[12:09]podcast it's called the timberwolves podcast
[12:11]he covers the timberwolves on a weekly basis nice that's a rough what is it called russell
[12:16]the timberwolves podcast it's very good and he's a former broadcaster and it's funny he does these
[12:21]little bits where at the end of every episode he does like a wolves look back in time and he'll
[12:26]talk about like a horrible timberwolves moment you know in years past i gotta check this out
[12:30]and in his last week he talked about the time where eddie griffin got caught jerking off in his car
[12:35]and yeah he didn't have to make it
[12:39]you know i feel bad here but
[12:40]you know i feel bad here but
[12:41]but it was funny because the podcast that we know um talked about eddie griffin wailing away
[12:47]on himself in an announcer voice and it was the funniest thing i've ever heard
[12:50]have any professional wrestlers appeared on this guy's podcast yet i'm gonna have to check it out
[12:55]i'm waiting for dirty ernie one of these days listen next up out in california okay we've got
[13:03]aaron and aaron i was just thinking about you know old times i have some people going back to
[13:06]for some reason i have no idea why but you remember that guy at st. olaf who was absolutely obsessed with the
[13:11]counting
[13:11]no i don't ah geez i do i i wonder what he's up to now uh aaron how are you doing
[13:18]i'm too it's probably only in the high hundreds of thousands at this point
[13:23]you can make it if you try rob let's talk about sly and the family stone i need to bring back
[13:28]the scam man parody a lot of people are texting my phone's blowing up right now
[13:33]uh so listen here's the deal i forgot what the next segment is
[13:37]his voice
[13:38]rob's eyes are not even
[13:40]open
[13:41]no we'll stop it but we're serious oh i know what my voice i'm sorry okay here we go
[13:45]we have a voicemail yeah we got a voicemail
[13:50]so here's my number on the back line 802-277-BECK that's 802-277-2325
[14:02]every fucking time i've played this sound clip you've talked over that
[14:05]i can't i edited out every fucking time don't call me maybe and ask me
[14:10]not to sing along every time you have to be like okay so aaron knows at the end i say call the
[14:15]back line these are like a million times he sings over it every time i can't help myself
[14:18]this is the first time rob has actually pointed at anger in us at the zoom like i'm wondering if
[14:23]that's his pinky finger that touches the chip key on the left oh this is my right finger
[14:27]there's no shifting at all this thing is just hunting and pecking baby do you want to do it
[14:32]again to get a clean take no no i'm not playing that against humiliating okay now i listen
[14:40]good thing we have a lot of extra time this is a really long voicemail all right hi boys it's
[14:45]claire the square russ's cousin calling again just wanted to point out that at one point when
[14:51]you know people were calling in with voicemails that we were made fun of and said oh gosh these
[14:56]people have nothing to do with their time and i just want to point out that now you're begging
[15:01]for voicemails and i believe you've been building time while describing a music video that no one
[15:08]else could see
[15:09]can i just say right now that this this is extremely hurtful voicemail
[15:15]and it turns all four of us on we love it we love being criticized okay this is our favorite thing
[15:23]it's true that we at one point we were so high on our horse that we said oh we can yell at the
[15:28]beck line we can yell at these make fun of these callers this will never affect us we will have to
[15:33]have no consequences for our actions they like they like being nagged isn't that the right term
[15:37]you treat them like shit they like that right
[15:39]that's what i thought but it turns out they do not they do not want to call back
[15:44]um and yes it turns out that we should have been nicer to you so thank you voicemail caller for
[15:49]calling i just want to say that from the bottom of my heart too late to remind yourself that hey
[15:53]be kind to the voicemailers and by the way a lot of people like the video segment okay a lot of
[15:59]people thought that was good they wanted to see and guess what it made a lot of people go watch
[16:02]the chattahoochee you didn't have to and you or you could have played at the same time next time
[16:05]we'll say push play and we'll all watch it together okay so it sounds like
[16:09]sounds like another idiot teacher not only do they use their pinky on the shift they probably
[16:13]don't know how to play on a youtube video let's play when the lion roars and then it's all synced
[16:17]up together the third roar the third if you're a teacher you play a youtube video and then you do
[16:22]what i do which is you put your mouse not in the middle of the screen but just slightly off to the
[16:26]side and it bothers every single kid in the room incredibly you just sit there they're like move
[16:30]the mouse i'm like no it's fine it's fine they do not like it's so cruel all right here we go
[16:39]i got someone else like to talk a little bit about their feelings this is going to blow your mind hello
[16:44]this is jeff from apple valley i've got a couple bones to pick with you in particular and anybody
[16:49]that doesn't know so first of all if you're wondering why it's a long voicemail i think
[16:54]that does the answer itself robin sam show at st alex college um i want to really address the issue
[17:03]of you almost getting me kicked out of college for a variety of reasons mainly when you told me
[17:09]i didn't want to pay or left the message for uh larue pierce that i didn't want to pay tuition and
[17:15]i just wanted to not go to college anymore uh i just want to point out to the aftermath of that
[17:20]when he brought into his office and uh yelled at me for uh not wanting to pay for college anymore
[17:28]and drop out um and that was one of the most awkward things i've ever had to deal with
[17:32]was larue pierce yelling at me so i want to say i haven't forgiven you all
[17:39]you're bad human beings in particular rob ross you're awesome the other guys here yes
[17:46]yes fine made it on the record right now and say i still have some issues that i need to
[17:53]work out with my therapist thank you listen i hope he's not peeing that therapist by the hour
[17:59]my god he'd be broke speedy to say those words there but we're not making fun of the backstories
[18:04]okay so what'd you do what'd you do rob you went you went to one of your coaches one of your teammates
[18:08]wanted to drop out or what happened here i did have a radio show and it turns out that you could
[18:13]on the radio show just call people you could call people on the phone just call people talk to me
[18:18]about the phone you could call maybe dairy queen and ask for a cake that has swear words on it or
[18:22]you could call the video store in town and ask for pornographic movies of different titles and you
[18:27]know funny titles radio show why is i'm confused well and so so then i got the good idea of you
[18:33]know what i should start doing is calling the deans of the school like the head of the school
[18:38]and leave voicemails as people that are real that are not me so i called as uh jeff from apple valley
[18:44]and i said listen this is jeff and what i said exactly was i have not been getting up for a lot
[18:49]of my eight o'clock classes and i'm wondering if i could get a discount if i could get some money
[18:53]back because i just haven't been going and that's on me if i could just get like a few hundred bucks
[18:57]this weekend that we could work on later that'd be funny he gets called in they sit down with him
[19:02]i think at this time i am 21 years old so this is not like
[19:08]right out of high school making mistakes so he gets called in and to just credit i have to say
[19:13]he did not turn me in he knew exactly who had done it as soon as it happened he's like oh that's yep
[19:18]rob did that and he and he said no that wasn't me i'm sorry i didn't leave that message he never
[19:22]ratted me out so to that i do have to tip my cap get stitches i've said it to you guys in private
[19:27]i'll say it again jeff from apple valley best athlete i ever played with like interacted with
[19:32]ever period he never played on that softball team with you though i guess why yeah you declared you
[19:38]were the greatest athlete in the softball team you were better than cory you were better than
[19:44]cory you were a better athlete you would have been the best player but he was not okay he was
[19:49]better than that steve he was the guy that steve he was the guy that when i got to college i was
[19:55]like oh okay i'm really nervous because i don't think i'm good enough to play football and then
[20:00]i like saw this guy he's huge and then he's playing basketball for some reason he's playing
[20:04]pickup basketball like pre-season which is probably a reason why we weren't a great team to start with
[20:08]right there that's a bad start um and he was so good with the best player for why they're not good
[20:14]he was so good and athletic and i was like oh oh i see i'm totally i don't know and they're
[20:18]like oh how old is this guy oh he's also a freshman oh that's great awesome so good thing i good thing
[20:23]i beat his ass in high school in the playoffs otherwise what would i ever talk about with those
[20:26]apple guys so when you call the deans what is your intention here just to have like these people have
[20:32]awkward conversations or what are you hoping to accomplish by that rob yeah it's just chaos it's
[20:37]the same reason i got caught this year this week at a meeting at school where they're making a
[20:41]school schedule and the woman who's basically the third person in charge of the school is done
[20:46]talking and sits down everybody kind of gives her a nice round of applause and i turn to the guy next
[20:49]to me and i go i can't wait for a schedule that we all love and nobody hates and she goes oh excuse
[20:54]me rob what'd you say and so everything the whole thing goes quiet this is the whole thing goes
[20:58]quiet and i go and i go i can't wait for a new schedule that we all love and nobody hates it gets
[21:04]a huge laugh
[21:07]and i'm like great this person hates me though it's just like my whole life i can't help but just
[21:11]cause trouble so what how many classes do you currently have right now each day well i i mean
[21:17]my busiest day four but they're only like 45 minutes so like but like an average day you have
[21:23]like two classes yeah two classes a day yeah so you're completely your schedules you're gonna
[21:28]have four to five classes yeah i'm gonna teach at 8 00 a.m and then at 2 30 and i'm gonna have
[21:32]nothing in between but i gotta sit in that godforsaken place the whole time so quickly so
[21:36]quickly the the dean you called was very strategic too though wasn't it right yeah in that case so
[21:42]larue pierce was a dean and a football coach and was one of the scariest human beings i've ever
[21:47]encountered in my entire life he was absolutely huge to the point where we were outside and we
[21:51]were seen at the time when we were 20 some years old it was the coolest thing i'd ever seen a
[21:56]tornado forming directly overhead and we were all outside like this kicks ass there's a tornado over
[22:02]so we're sitting there staring at this is going to be full-on twister we're going to see cows flying
[22:05]around and see women in white shirts it's going to be the best and this guy comes out this dude
[22:09]get the hell back inside and i was like jesus christ this is scary as hell we got to get back
[22:14]this is an adult man yelling at 23 year old men we are also men i'll tell you what if we want to
[22:20]get sucked up by a tornado okay or maybe lie down on the ground and see what happens we can't we have
[22:24]that right okay that gorilla grip well i mean i'll give it an f you want an f5 i'll give it a five
[22:34]with the left shift too yeah f5 i mean what does control f5 do what does that i've heard
[22:41]about the fujita scale but the thought i was going to have something fajita
[22:47]nailed it yes rob you're back rob do you rob do you have old robin sam shows do you have them
[22:52]yeah i do i have my cassette because they should totally be put out on youtube or something just
[22:56]just uh you might get more you might get more uh listens to that than this podcast i was actually
[23:02]going to upload it as a podcast one time just yeah throw it up and just but i was concerned
[23:06]because i was like we play so much copyright music and i don't want to go through the recordings and
[23:09]edit that out but now if you're having this podcast i realize it does not matter nobody cares
[23:13]like nobody's going to listen to it you can do whatever you want so i should i should digitize
[23:17]all those because i know what's going to happen the tape is going to like give out yeah my memories
[23:22]but i know also that when i listen to it it's going to make this podcast sound really super
[23:26]advanced and fancy because i never prepared anything it might surprise you guys i never
[23:29]prepared anything for that show didn't have any idea what we were going to do that's why russell
[23:33]and aaron's show was so much better they would come in and be like we're going to drink a gallon milk
[23:36]and i was like god damn that's a good idea i need to know guys joke we ever had we literally read
[23:43]onion articles on air and said like this is a bit and we read somebody's onion article like that's
[23:48]plagiarism like that's just stealing a bit stupid stupid stuff waste of time f5 there's something
[23:57]there there's something there
[24:00]no there's not there's not it's time to see what everybody's up to it's time for rolling gold oh
[24:10]yeah ah rolling going rosie how is it this is the segment where rosie says how it's going and we all
[24:18]say what the hell rosie how's it going it's really it's going great i do have a theme for tonight's
[24:23]rolling god i prepared a theme do you guys mind if i talk about gambling yes anyway is anyone in this
[24:29]house interested in gambling i thought you meant this theme i thought you meant you had a theme
[24:34]but it's like i was like oh that's a good thing that's a good thing yeah um aaron unless it
[24:39]involves why is lsu line so low compared to arkansas tomorrow which by the way i just saw
[24:44]on tick-tock and i'm obsessed with yes i would like to talk about gambling i will say i did the
[24:48]one the one piece of real gambling news i saw is that we missed the chance to bet the under in a
[24:53]college basketball game on an aircraft carrier that happened today like if you look at the
[24:57]all-time stats for college hoops games that took place on aircraft carriers like there's some
[25:01]incredible low shooting percentages like always bang the ender on that one but uh i've been
[25:07]gambling a bit lately on a few things uh first thing tonight uh tried to make some shawarma for
[25:13]dinner so always all right off the bat you're gambling if you're trying to make something that
[25:18]you should yes professionals yes secondly my lady is not a garlic fan but i bought some black garlic
[25:25]which is supposed to be less potent than regular garlic so i gambled by putting some black garlic
[25:31]in it's fermented so it's milder so i i snuck a little garlic into the white sauce i made for the
[25:37]shawarma so that's a gamble right there today today third man records released the first
[25:44]of their reissue series they released first pressing first official vinyl release since
[25:49]1974 of alice coltrane's classic pata the elder ood this came out today i could have pre-ordered
[25:53]it but i'm gambling i'm going to go to the record store tomorrow see if it's still there see if it's
[26:01]not sold out this is an incredible record one of my favorites of all time but i'm gambling on it
[26:07]i'm gambling see if it's still there i was just about to make fun of you but i'm excited if it's
[26:11]a record if it's one of your favorite records of all time and it's re-released i'm so excited for
[26:14]you aaron thank you i appreciate it feral sanders on tenor sax in the right channel except on alto
[26:20]flute on the second track joe henderson tenor sax on the right channel except on alto flute on the
[26:21]track joe henderson tenor sax alto flute in the left channel ben raleigh on drums the left channel
[26:28]okay i'm not aaron i'm not on carter i'm bored alice recorded this in the basement of her house
[26:34]and she put the taxes on each side but what i really want to get to is the whipsaw along with
[26:40]the gambling theme so i mentioned to you guys that i went to this wedding in kansas city one of our
[26:45]listeners got married it was a beautiful wedding i told you they served steak and chicken at the
[26:49]at the yeah ceremony so that was amazing
[26:51]i mean that's like that makes sense that's that's known as a salad in kansas city the other thing
[26:55]exactly the thing i didn't mention is that i i there was a grooms sort of not like like a bachelor
[27:02]afternoon on the afternoon of the wedding so the a staying party if you will a stag party if you
[27:07]will and so the groom and his his buddies uh went to a distillery in kansas city and i was lucky
[27:13]enough to be invited along and even though i don't know any of those guys all that well and it was a
[27:18]you know it was like one of these activities where it was like a disparate group of
[27:21]dudes it was like yeah the groom's friends from kansas city i'm the groom's brother by marriage uh
[27:27]there's uh like the father and the future father-in-law was there you know the groom's
[27:32]brother-in-law was there so it's like you know guys from kind of from all over and it's kind of
[27:35]this awkward thing until one of the guys from kansas city breaks out some dice and a big stack
[27:42]of ones and all of a sudden we're just we're playing a game the game's called threes do you
[27:46]guys know this one no dude you're throwing dice in a role fight yeah i'm not gonna lie it's a fun game
[27:47]no dude you're throwing dice in a role five yeah i know six five four with dollars that you know
[27:53]that's about all i know and if it's anything like that it it was probably awesome yeah it
[27:58]was fantastic it was you you go around you try to get the lowest score possible three is a zero
[28:04]every time you yeah doesn't matter but all of a sudden like you got this group of guys who barely
[28:09]know each other and all of a sudden it's exciting it's fast-paced people like so yeah the juices are
[28:16]flowing so shout out to the guy who carries the dice i kind of want to be carrying dice guy he
[28:20]was like a nice set of dice like he definitely kept this in his that you know on his person for
[28:25]this purpose i was really like that would be awesome to be a dice guy i think that would be
[28:30]fun when you're in a group you're just like and he he just said one he's like this is my time
[28:34]this is it right here i've been carrying these dice for years he slapped those ones down on
[28:38]the table and said boom yeah and it's like everybody yeah because everybody's kind of
[28:41]staring at each other like oh hey what are you guys where are you from what do you do whatever
[28:46]he said on his camera shut his video he's so excited about playing that's so funny there it
[28:51]is and then i was like you know i was like well you guys mind if i get in all i got to 20 and
[28:54]they're like oh yeah this guy over here he's got a full stack like cash him out like get in for a
[28:59]dollar it was amazing so gambling really brings people together yeah i think it's a fantastic
[29:04]idea so shout out to that guy and they're going home to their friends i mean gambling brings
[29:08]everybody together but they're going over to all their friends at home and being like
[29:11]yeah i went to this bachelor party and it turns out one of the guys was a real peep show guy he
[29:14]kept saying hey let's go to the peep show like he kept saying it over and over like oh let's go to
[29:18]the peep show i know there's a peep show let's go to a peep show and it's like i let's i've got i got
[29:23]on my dice i was like please we can't go to the peep show do you guys ever do like a poker game
[29:28]night or anything like that with friends you guys ever yeah night or anything i've tried that it's
[29:33]been a long time yeah so my move at card night is i always want to be the bully i always want to like
[29:39]like when everyone's betting like 50 cents and being nice and letting everyone stay in the hand
[29:44]i'm always like it i'm betting big i want to be the jerk i want to be in control of the
[29:48]game i want people to fear me when i'm at that card table what's your guy's style when it comes
[29:53]to poker or that type of thing my problem is i play with all richfield people so they're all
[29:58]conniving sons of to begin with you know and so but the one guy he would go when before diamond
[30:05]joe's down in iowa just over the border had their uh they now have a sports book as for about a year
[30:12]ago but before that they had a poker room and all these minnesota people got on there because it was
[30:17]no limit poker we're up in minnesota it's yeah it's limit poker and so everybody would want to
[30:22]go down there so he would go every friday night every you do something friday friday night what a
[30:27]loser every friday night he'd go down and play poker so he's the one who's hosting this this
[30:31]card game right yeah and so he's got a poker table he also set up half of a craps table
[30:36]and would practice craps yes you know yeah and so like you know he's one of those guys
[30:42]yeah i'm a basement away for being this guy i swear to christ he's i mean he's one of those
[30:46]guys who's taken like the classes like if you hold these right and if you get the flick of the wrist
[30:52]right every time you're you know you're getting you're gaining an advantage kind of a thing
[30:56]so this is the guy that hosts it so russell as much as i would and then everybody else like it's
[31:02]the old thing you know you look around the room and if you can't tell the sucker is it's you right
[31:06]like like i just know that i'm the sucker playing with this at this table right so these guys are
[31:10]ruthless they never are ruthless they're never ruthless they're ruthless they're ruthless they're
[31:11]ruthless they never get like big bets or anything you know but like they just go cutthroat at each
[31:16]other and they've been best of friends since they were like eight kind of a deal they're a couple
[31:20]years older than i am and so i played a lot of sports with them so i've known them for about half
[31:24]as long as they've known each other kind of a deal but they're ruthless and so i cannot even come
[31:28]close to trying to bully them because they sniff me out as soon as i even just blink like oh well
[31:34]let me see i'll raise you there they just start laughing at me and like all right i know what you're doing
[31:40]i would be suspicious if i went to somebody's house for a poker night and next to me was a half
[31:45]craps table that they obviously i'd be like i don't think i'm gonna do too much at this game
[31:51]and you know when richfield guys are getting together too they're playing games like you know
[31:54]three card muskigi hold them shoot them where you gotta like know all the different rules and it's
[31:58]like well there's 19 000 games and every time they have to tell me like all right no this is
[32:04]here's how you play this i'm like okay i got it so yep they i mean they are pulling stuff yeah yeah
[32:10]i don't know what to say i don't know what to do i don't know what to do i don't know what to do
[32:12]a guy's got an in-between deck or holder just just for in between for whatever it is you know i don't
[32:18]know so yeah these guys are crazy yeah the games like guts and in between are the best any game
[32:23]where it keeps doubling up on the loser and someone came thinking like oh i was just gonna
[32:27]have a fun night and lose like 40 bucks yeah and then they lose like 220 bucks because something
[32:32]kept doubling up on them and it ruins their night they have to wonder how they're going to explain
[32:36]it to their spouse that is a good game that's good that is a good game that is a good game that is a
[32:39]card and then you get the 200 bucks but it's mostly in quarters and you're like what the am
[32:43]i going to do with this is this just going to sit in my car forever until somebody oh no this i mean
[32:47]this guy this guy you got to buy in with chips i mean he's got his own chips with his own initials
[32:51]on them and everything oh that's i would say that's the warning sign number two right oh how
[32:56]did you afford these chips oh these games so so yeah that was it gambling brings people together
[33:01]and uh it's it's an important piece of life so russell what's what's rolling going with you man
[33:05]rolling going you know the last few weeks or we've been talking you know i've been requesting music
[33:09]on my venmo yes so this this last week i actually went on another music adventure and i bought some
[33:15]music but it wasn't with my venmo it was at a record store oh yes no wait we have that good for
[33:22]you shh do you hear that it's time to talk about the process wow yes that is a throwback we haven't
[33:34]done that one in a long time nice work rob made the cut so so this time i went to a new record
[33:39]store i've been to the one in south minneapolis before i think it's called no name records but
[33:43]i believe matt the one matt has talked about before is called roadrunner records isn't that
[33:47]your story that's it yep about 46 the nickel yep so so i went to roadrunner records a couple
[33:53]observations i wanted to share before i talked to you guys about the music that i chose one
[33:57]what are your guys thoughts on a really narrow record store where you can barely squeeze by the
[34:02]person who's looking at records what are your thoughts i i i don't need to be accused of you know
[34:09]groping in the otis redding isle like i i do not just get me out of there i don't like narrow stuff
[34:14]i don't like narrow stores especially with how big and broad i am i'm just like i feel like i i just
[34:18]feel huge i feel like uh gulliver's travels looking through those stores just huge all these
[34:24]lilliputians with their tiny records looking at them i respect it making the most out of their
[34:28]space it's probably you know not cheap to run a record store but yeah it feels it starts to
[34:33]feel a little sweaty in there if you're in there for very long it doesn't doesn't feel
[34:35]like you can peruse for very long as soon as more than three people get in there
[34:39]there now i'm trying to remember russell's record style and i think it's uh you a list a record from
[34:44]the list record from the list is one play on the playbook yeah you get uh oh was there a record in
[34:50]the sale bin right uh one best one dollar record is correct and then there's a and then there's a
[34:56]record what's the third one it's a record that we've talked about that's like not on there i
[35:01]don't we have a new one a brand new one not a used one and then the last one of course rob is most
[35:07]perverted
[35:09]oh i'm gonna pass out every time you do this yeah i go into i go to roadrunner
[35:17]and i'm immediately running my plays because you know i'm already worried about the narrow
[35:21]hallways and like you know trying to get by people i just need to get in run my system get
[35:26]my records and get out of there so i see one that is definitely going to fit the bill for uh the
[35:32]what's it called the most perverted but i choose not to buy it because i think it's too perverted
[35:38]pornography by the cure oh okay well i mean all right listen i know it when i see it i mean yes
[35:45]he does is there are there any songs in there we know i decided not to get that one i thought it
[35:51]was too perverted i didn't know where to put that one and i was trying to fumble you know how i go
[35:55]in the corner and i fumbled through the records to put them in a respectable order i didn't know
[35:59]if pornography should go first or last or where it should go so i put it back but there were three
[36:04]three things that i noticed about this record store that i had to share they had sections that i
[36:08]wanted to talk about the first was they had a specific section for canned heat canned heat
[36:14]i opened it and there were no records in the section and then there's no records
[36:20]alternatively they did have a section that was stuffed full of records it was johan sebastian
[36:38]box section that'd be all right there's probably some good stuff in there i wouldn't know what to
[36:44]look for but i'll also look through the section on tom waits this is one of the record stores where
[36:47]it's got all the names listed and i was looking for the creepy tom waits song but i couldn't find
[36:52]i didn't know the name of the creepy song what was that one again what's he building in there
[36:56]what's he building that's on the that's on the mule variations album if you ever find that one
[37:02]he doesn't wave when i walk by that album also has come on up to the house which is a great
[37:08]in the house where nobody lives so eventually i start running my system the first record in my
[37:13]system highest one i could find on the list was born in the usa oh yes there he is yes
[37:20]vinyl with the boss you guys have any bruce springsteen records i have you got a lot of
[37:28]yeah i got four i think i've got nebraska uh i was gonna say of course we don't but it turns out
[37:34]park without a bruce springsteen record i
[37:38]used to have the river i'll be honest the river is the one i gave away that thing was too
[37:42]much of a downer i couldn't handle it next record next record i came across i decided to add a new
[37:49]record to my my strategy and that is if i ever go see something live i want to get the record of it
[37:54]right i like it so the one i got this week is a buddy holly record oh yeah it's got peggy sue on
[38:02]it rave on a bunch of other awesome songs so i figure anything you've seen live you need to get
[38:08]to go right well it's also super fun to listen to like that's the greatest music there is i just
[38:12]want to be clear you didn't see buddy holly live right yeah like you know that right like you saw
[38:16]a play where somebody was playing buddy holly i mean if he was gonna see buddy holly live who
[38:21]would he have to call first to see him like how would he make that happen i mean maybe they would
[38:26]call us you know anybody who could hook that up i don't know like could anybody make that happen
[38:30]hello hello hello
[38:33]hello baby
[38:38]what's going on oh big papa baby you gotta go through me if you want to talk to buddy holly
[38:46]can you put us in touch with buddy yeah you know you know he buddy holly he loves i'm losing a
[38:52]little bit buddy holly loves to talk to lawyers do you know why buddy holly loves to talk to
[38:56]lawyers why does he like talking to lawyers
[38:59]i mean i knew
[39:06]i mean i knew i would regret this but
[39:07]i heard that buddy holly got engaged after only knowing a woman for five hours what are your
[39:17]thoughts about getting engaged after five hours popper i asked him about that baby and you know
[39:21]what buddy holly said to me up here what do you say first of all he talked like this because his
[39:26]face got smashed in in the plane crash and it turns out that that affects you in heaven too
[39:31]you can do whatever you want in heaven but you are if you get your face smashed your face is
[39:34]smashed in heaven too a lot of people don't realize that they don't think it's great theology
[39:37]here i don't know yes it's true baby that's from pastor bruce i asked buddy holly why did you marry
[39:42]a woman after whatever russell said earlier and maybe i wasn't listening so closely and he said
[39:46]you know big papa i just wanted to see her chantilly lace and a pretty face and a pony
[39:53]he wanted those pantaloons baby oh yeah
[39:59]it was nice talking with you big bopper we'll have to give you a call next time we go to the
[40:05]record store please call me next time we go to the record store please call me next time we go to the record store
[40:07]please call me again i'm so i'm so lonely i'm so low so lonely so lonely
[40:13]i don't get to talk to big bopper as much as you guys do i think i'd like to i think it'd be
[40:20]something i got a lot of questions so the next album on the list i had to add another category
[40:26]i guess this one could be the most perverted because you guys know i like talking about
[40:30]my whipping post i got yes the allman brothers
[40:33]play with the post
[40:37]that's the best that is such a that that kicks is an all-timer that's a great idea
[40:43]what a great jam band one that would that be considered a jam band man oh absolutely one
[40:48]that's the jam band to start all jams that's awesome man rob always talks about like the
[40:53]mood music if you were playing this in college if if i had people over and i'm playing i'm playing
[40:57]the allman brothers live at fillmore east that people are impressed by that right yeah yeah so
[41:02]i added another category to my list that i'm probably going to be keeping going forward are
[41:05]we up to eight categories
[41:07]now yep i love it okay so this category is something that i've heard aaron recommend
[41:13]but hasn't been on the list yet so this is an aaron recommendation
[41:15]this album is aretha franklin young gifted and yes aaron has always said that this is his favorite
[41:23]aretha album we've listened to a couple but he says this is the one so i got aretha young gifted
[41:28]and black what are your thoughts on that i love that that's wonderful that's got donnie hathaway
[41:32]on keys that's got bernard pretty pretty on some drums that's got a great band
[41:37]and she's at her best yeah wonderful choice russell russell here's what i think yeah
[41:43]all right so i added that sound but
[41:45]all right i got so finally the last thing they had i also this is not one of my favorite things
[41:54]about a record store they've got the one dollar crates on the floor so you got to be like down
[41:59]in the catcher position or down on a knee to like fiddle through the ones on the floor this annoys
[42:04]me but i found two gems in there i believe aaron
[42:07]may have found this one a few weeks back this is one of my mom's favorites it's herbie man
[42:11]memphis underground oh yes for a buck that's a great record too that's a great record
[42:17]that's got sunny sherrock guitar yeah that's a value by major players on it and the last guy
[42:25]must have been like what the fuck is this guy's deal with music like what look at all this shit
[42:29]this is crazy you guys side two of memphis underground is chain of fools the aretha franklin
[42:35]song and the
[42:36]fucking battle him of the republic side two of memphis underground is amazing it's so weird and
[42:44]it's so good so the last one on the list is one we've talked about before i'm gonna give you the
[42:51]songs or the tracks and see if you guys can name who this artist is oh shit okay first side one is
[42:57]abe lincoln versus madison avenue introducing tobacco to civilization oh this is bob newhart i
[43:06]know exactly
[43:07]unfortunately there is no uh what's it called baseball or whatever but they've also got the
[43:19]cruise of the uss codfish retirement party returning a gift and the grace ferguson airline
[43:24]give me one russell and i'm gonna do his bit for you verbatim right now introducing tobacco to
[43:30]civilization hey hey so here's the deal i mean you gotta wonder yourself like tobacco like how did that
[43:36]even start so it's kind of like this it's like uh oh hey uh uh and then he's gonna probably do some
[43:41]super racist joke here so i'm gonna skip that part and then he's like hey i tried this stuff i i uh i
[43:47]i uh i i dried it oh good okay should i try to grind up into a powder put in a paste and try it
[43:52]no no no here's what we're gonna do we're actually gonna roll it up into a piece of paper
[43:55]light it on fire and then breathe in all the smoke uh excuse me
[43:59]i mean i know i'm a brave but that sounds dangerous to me
[44:06]it's stuff like that you know there's a lot of like it kind of trends on the pretty good yeah
[44:10]that's pretty good yeah and then at the end he's there's like a paul mall but it's paul mini mall
[44:15]it's kind of it doesn't fit now because there's not really the mini mall scene you know you guys
[44:19]don't talk about that's impressive that's impressive thank you i also got a double
[44:22]back because billy preston also plays keys on young gifted and black so i'd be remiss if i
[44:26]didn't mention the fifth beetle billy preston no idea so that's about my experience at the
[44:31]record store when i've got a new system got a bunch of new records that i think i'm going to
[44:34]enjoy so rolling going back to the record store i've got a new system i've got a bunch of new records
[44:36]how's it going with you no no great uh i i do love that store uh the last one i got i got
[44:43]rolling stone tattoo you oh a week and a half ago two weeks ago it's a double yeah and it's got my
[44:50]favorite song slave by the rolling stones which rob is playing over the top right now so you guys
[44:55]can hear every time every time you do that no you're not getting it every time you do that
[45:00]but type type type here i am shifting and pushing with the buttons and then now when i do that my
[45:05]left hand yeah i'm pushing with the buttons and then now when i do that i'm pushing with the
[45:06]left hand if i've been doing this wrong my whole life what else is a disaster for my whole life
[45:11]you know what i mean like i'm just gonna think like this is does this represent everything am
[45:16]i wrong about everything like it's um went to saw the smashing pumpkins and jane's addiction
[45:23]this past week and jane's addiction live is unbelievable oh my goodness yeah and perry is
[45:36]conversations with the crowd and it is just awesome it is just awesome and so i was so
[45:43]surprised at how well jane's addiction played you know and it probably makes sense right like
[45:48]they're really good and then they got completely drugged out and couldn't figure out anything and
[45:52]had people coming in and out and all that stuff and now they're coming back around they're a
[45:56]little older and they're just professionals it was unbelievable davaro play guitar for them at
[46:00]some point he did for a long time and i don't think he was on this tour because they would have
[46:06]there was a guy that looked exactly like him though yeah you know kind of a little taller
[46:09]hair a little bit longer that kind of a thing he kind of is in the spotlight but not really like
[46:14]he's kind of not really yeah all that kind of stuff that looks like dave navarro so that was
[46:20]awesome um and then i've been doing a lot of traveling lately and i think i figured out a new
[46:25]game to play at the airport a new one um and so i was walking i was in the minneapolis airport so
[46:36]i've got this thing down to a science now and so i had i had a seven o'clock flight the other day and
[46:42]so i'm just just letting you know how much i had this down in the morning was it in the morning
[46:48]at night huh boarding closer boarding start you know supposed to start at 6 20 all right

[47:58]always give leo a few little mini oreos that's he's got a beef stick he's got a cheese stick and
[48:06]he's got some cut up apples that's his snack for the day so what a sweet dad i mean that's that's
[48:11]not a lunch that's like a that's like a buffet that's incredible geez man so so i had to get
[48:16]that to this so 6 10 i'm leaving out the door all right driving down the street i park i get i get
[48:23]in there i know that i gotta go to gold three you're parking at the airport too at the airport
[48:28]oh my god parking and gold three this is the closest one to the you can walk
[48:36]over you don't got to take an elevator down it's on the level that you can take over to the thing
[48:39]so i get there at 6 20 i get 10 minutes from my house door to door till i hit park okay so then
[48:46]i'm walking i hit park 6 20 walking walking out there lines are out the door i got clear i got tsa
[48:54]i am at my gate g3 at 6 27 right when they call for sky priority and so i have got this thing
[49:01]down to a science that's unbelievable so that's so that's that's not the
[49:06]game no but i just had to i had to tell you so then the next week i'm going and i and i got a
[49:11]little bit more time now right so i'm like okay let's cut a little close yeah so i got a little
[49:14]more time but now i gotta go to and russell might know this better than anybody i gotta go to like
[49:19]f 22 which is way down there all right and so they got all those walkways right that's getting very
[49:24]granular and so then there's walkways so there's you walk on the right or you you stand on the
[49:30]right and you walk on the left right and so you start going and if you're you want to walk right
[49:35]you're not a prick or anything you don't push by people you know you just if people are walking
[49:39]a little slower you just kind of walk a little slower maybe if there's room you go around and
[49:43]stuff like that but there's always one lady who is in such a hurry so much more of a hurry than
[49:49]anybody else that she is just going to push by everybody and just be rude you know there's there's
[49:54]rules to the road right oh no if there's if everybody's waiting to walk on that line there's
[49:59]five people you don't walk ahead of them you wait in line right so no game no to find those people
[50:05]and then just take up no both rows and find somebody else you can walk with and just get
[50:11]them pissed excuse me excuse me and i'm like hey we're all trying to go to the same spot
[50:17]excuse me we're all trying to go to the same spot so that's my new game russell is that people who
[50:22]are rude if somebody's nice let them go but if they're rude if you're rude we're gonna hold you
[50:27]up just for being rude that's we'll find you and we'll walk at the same speed as somebody next to
[50:31]on the moving walkway in an incredible problem the only problem is
[50:35]so this lady so i got i got ahead of her again and i'm and i'm slowing down and there's this
[50:41]there's this uh pilot who's with me and he's walking you know if we're if we need to be
[50:45]walking at pace 10 you know he's walking at about a nine so he's just slightly slower
[50:49]than this lady wants to go that is a fast walker too so if he's slowing down it's on purpose i've
[50:54]seen him so no but i had no i had to i had to kick it into overdrive and so the only problem
[50:59]with it was is i had another seven o'clock flight and so i'm sprinting with this lady but i gotta
[51:03]stay ahead of her so by the time i get to my gate after
[51:05]22 i am sweating balls right and so i'm like oh that's the only problem i had with that that's
[51:11]the only problem with that game is that you get a little bit too much workout then you go on the
[51:14]plane sweaty that's no good so that's my new game rob rolling going how's it going with you did you
[51:19]end up but you did end up making the plane oh yeah for sure i was gonna laugh my ass off if matt
[51:25]missed them both i was like oh no i missed both flights it's time for beck did it better we
[51:35]might have been the picture though the second one that i sent you guys
[51:38]nobody behind me why are your friends sending pictures of like them getting on a plane i was
[51:45]like there's so many layers there's so many layers i can't even start oh yeah she's like is this does
[51:52]this have anything to do why you take pictures with you or your thumbs down during a pilot's
[51:55]announcement i'm like yeah kind of i mean it's kind of the same it's the same ballpark you know
[52:00]yeah we're in the same sphere listen how do you think you spell the band that sang um
[52:05]uh uh knock me down you get up again what's that band's name
[52:09]spell it for me please just off the top of your head c-h-u-m-b-a w-u-m-b-a guys
[52:19]it's fucking chamba wamba it's w-a-m-b-a with an a wamba it's chamba wamba it's c-h-a-m-b-a
[52:35]that makes sense chamba i get it you know what i've been chamba i've been on that train my whole
[52:41]life that's how do you spell la bamba it sounds it's it's spelled kind of like that with the soft
[52:46]a right it might be correct you think chamba wamba is related to la bamba that's the smartest thing
[52:51]i've ever heard you're fucking albert einstein over there i mean that's crazy well it's the same
[52:57]it's the same phonetics right or whatever you want to call that la la la la chamba wamba
[53:02]i got a great
[53:05]idea for another song i really do it's super good should we hit pause should we take a little break
[53:10]is this where we go in or not yeah this is chamba richie valen's famous colleague if we needed to
[53:15]it's chamba wamba my question is this though is like i've we've seen how many times did you see
[53:22]that video a million times like how many times have you heard about chamba wamba why do we call
[53:26]him chamba wamba when it's chamba wamba it's not it's like la bamba chamba it's a soft a but chamba
[53:35]British people pronounce stuff crazy like yeah but it's like i'll venture off when then it would
[53:40]be chamba wamba like they say stuff weird man the name of that song is tub thumping right
[53:48]i mean that's true okay now we're doing chub thumping i let me see thambing god it's so you
[53:56]know tub thumping for these guys are so far back on their video page i gotta click back a couple i
[54:00]mean there's so many other chumbo womba videos that are up the front it's so weird play a chumbo
[54:05]it is not tub thumping i would love to don't think there are any there's gotta be you gotta
[54:09]admit though this is a bop why are we listening to this because i love chamba i love spelling
[54:19]and now the problem is i can pronounce it chamba wamba and that's not right either it's chumbo
[54:23]wamba you guys know who might have had too many whiskey and cider drinks who it was the captain
[54:29]of the edmund fitzgerald i was oh yes that yesterday was the 47th anniversary of the edmund
[54:35]fitzgerald crashing that's right i was reading about this that all these crashes happened
[54:40]because of these gale winds or gales up in in duluth i dated her in high school on superior
[54:45]and so i read that of the 600 shipwrecks on lake superior about half have occurred during this time
[54:52]of year i would say that's pretty scary that is and sad i would say do they say pissing the night
[55:05]away there yeah
[55:05]is that what this is guys here's that famous other famous chumba wamba song her majesty and everybody
[55:11]is a pretty nice girl but she doesn't wait wait yeah i know this one this is a cover it's a lennon
[55:18]mccartney cover yeah she changes from day to day but this is their only other thing i can find on
[55:27]youtube that's not how would paul mccartney pronounce chumba chumba hey man enough is enough
[55:34]and they did this song
[55:35]i mean this
[55:36]they did this it turns out his name you know what his name isn't scatman it turns out it's scat moon
[55:43]we'd never do it but it was spelt scat moon it's still i mean see that's mind-blowing you guys are
[55:47]laughing at my rolling going it's actually mind-blowing this was not a huge part of your
[55:52]life growing up was it i just all the times i've shown up and done a really good off the top of my
[55:58]head and rob says you had a week or two weeks or whatever and this is what you chose to talk about
[56:02]and here we are we're listening to scat man and talking about how to pronounce it
[56:05]we're listening to the scat man i think for the fourth time today not the first time
[56:10]all right fine you know what guys
[56:13]a national hero is dead you guys are oh you're laughing about it
[56:18]we didn't say died in 2003 according to wikipedia other singles by chumba wamba include amnesia
[56:27]enough is enough time bomb top of the world ole ole ole and add me which add me doesn't even have
[56:33]a link so it can't be that big vinyl only did not get that one digitized they were like me with the
[56:40]rob and sam show tapes don't have time to digitize this can't put it out there listen okay and a lot
[56:45]of people don't know this you know you know what how you know what scat man john did for a job
[56:49]he was a captain of a of a certain ship okay and i didn't want to bring this up
[56:55]and the last radio message i mean it's heartbreaking the last radio message
[57:03]the last radio message i mean it's heartbreaking the last radio message
[57:03]that we heard he said
[57:07]and they said who is this who is this who's calling it sounds like an emergency sos
[57:20]and he goes i'm the scat man
[57:24]so do you scat man
[57:33]thank you for your service both in the military and in the merchant marines we appreciate it
[57:41]i mean i really think you have some harder drums behind this thing yeah
[57:47]yeah if you crank up the drums a little harder producer now too
[57:51]yeah we definitely are i would i would rock to this rob send this over let's see what we can do
[57:56]with it oh my god it's i want man to take a crack at it we gotta have an extended version oh it's so
[58:02]good listen we are talking about a new album and we're talking about a new album and we're talking
[58:03]about sly and the family stone and basically sly and the family stone this is their second album
[58:07]after their album life life is their first album first of all i just gotta tell you right now i
[58:12]think sly and the family stone might be the worst namer of albums we've had yet their first one is
[58:17]life the second one is stand it's just we got to get some better names now there's a riot going on
[58:22]starting to pick up on their third album after this but you know sly and the family stone we've
[58:27]talked about them before you know they're a multi-racial band which was a huge deal in 1969
[58:31]you know 68 69
[58:32]you know 68 69
[58:33]and they were singing songs about you know civil rights and peace and harmony and and
[58:37]and but at the same time it was this super funky band with a keyboardist named sly stone and his
[58:44]sister was on the trumpet and his brother i think was his brother playing saxophone or something like
[58:48]that but basically sly said that when he was a radio dj he would play he said i got jimmy hendrix
[58:54]and i played bob dylan and then i played neil young he said i always wanted to keep the flow
[58:58]going differently i didn't want to get into a groove and you can hear that on every single
[59:03]album these songs they they're almost not like they're not even like a genre almost right it's
[59:09]kind of like a psychedelic but then you'll hear a super pop and it kind of is all over the place
[59:13]which i i thought was pretty neat about this album and then uh this was kind of this the album that
[59:18]came out right before their big performance at woodstock and apparently that performance at
[59:23]woodstock absolutely blew them up and i said this last time on the last line the family stone
[59:26]you need to watch live performances of sly and the family stone they are absolutely incredible
[59:33]uh the revolution will be televised that movie that q-tip movie they are it is an unbelievable
[59:38]experience watching them it's just great and then after this sly got quickly they said the
[59:44]year after this slide just got into cocaine like nobody's business and that kind of led to him
[59:49]locking himself in his room and making there's a riot going on which we've talked about previously
[59:53]and it was kind of all downhill from here so this is kind of their creative uh
[59:57]and that maybe not creative apex but it's the apex is a band i think you were talking about
[60:02]summer of soul by q-tip and it was kind of all downhill from here so this is kind of their
[60:03]quest love in case anybody's trying to find it that's what i was okay i was just wondering you
[60:07]know honestly i write i was trying to right shift and it screwed up everything but yes their
[60:11]performances on there are amazing they're they're costumes their performance the band super tight but
[60:16]you rob you're totally right it's almost uncategorizable psychedelic funk i mean it's
[60:21]them and funkadelic nobody else was doing it like this uh we're gonna get to funkadelic in less than
[60:27]a year oh i'm gonna be sick what if we're sick that episode is just actually aaron would like
[60:32]that it would be great if we were sick that episode actually aaron would like that it would be great
[60:33]like i mean this like this one and maggot brain the two of them like together are just like i think
[60:37]they're kind of companion pieces i think when things get really stale for us we should do where
[60:40]we each record a solo episode we just take an album we do a solo episode same bits we gotta do
[60:45]the same bits but it's just solo and then we just each get to listen to it i'd love it i'd love to
[60:50]listen i mean a matt solo episode oh my god it'd be so fun to listen to when yours be just you
[60:54]mispronouncing chamba wamba the whole time it's chumba wamba we've talked about this okay it's
[61:03]don't you're gonna get me back to scatman john again
[61:06]i just hate to think about him you know it's so scary yeah and somebody said you know scatman i
[61:18]the ship's going down but there's a lifeboat you know who's who's going to pilot this you're the
[61:23]captain how are you you're not going to help us and he said well if the scatman could do it
[61:27]so can you
[61:33]hey what would you call this open what would you call this opening track on the album here i think
[61:38]it is a titular track you know ever since i was in high school i would i love starting with the
[61:45]titular track it was one of my favorite things i think it's a great thing on an album it sets up
[61:49]the night in a right way when you know you're going to listen to this titular track i just
[61:52]want you to imagine you're at home you get this album okay you bought this and bob newhart came
[61:57]out probably around the same time you drop the needle on this think about what this sounds like
[62:03]and what's really interesting is when he recorded this song he played it in a club to see how it went
[62:16]right and it was a banger and they loved it until the end of the song and so sly said uh well i'm
[62:24]gonna go and re-record the end and you kind of see this future sly what's going to happen is that
[62:29]none of the band is around so he records it with just him and studio musicians and i've
[62:33]always wondered because i i was a big sly in the family stone fan growing up but you can hear it
[62:36]during this song you can hear where he tacks on the part you can hear the part where he tacks on
[62:42]the coda listen to the change in tone as it goes to the sessions musicians
[62:45]right there you can just hear that and they put on this kind of gospel type ending
[62:56]well i'm james brown i mean this is tighter this is like it goes from like muscle shoals to
[63:03]this is not the family stone this is all sessions musicians which is kind of fun oh yeah uh don't
[63:08]call me n-word whitey now this song threw me because they spelled whitey with an e i don't
[63:16]know how i thought whitey was spelled guys today's kind of the spelling episode a lot of people are
[63:19]going to refer to this one as a spelling episode but don't call me whitey i thought the guitars
[63:26]were just out of this world i i got to like the last 45 seconds but even you can hear it here
[63:31]we talked about this with the all-number
[63:33]it feels like the guitars are talking to you like they're using words oh yeah no my doesn't it feel
[63:37]like a conversation with the guitar yeah my son asked me which which person was singing in that
[63:42]voice like we're listening to this and he was like no no i like that one where they sing with
[63:45]like the chipmunk voice which person is singing that one because like we're showing pictures of
[63:49]sly and the family stone like check this out he's like which one is singing in that voice
[63:52]isn't aren't they using one of those peter frampton boxes there yeah i think so right
[63:57]they have to right because there's a okay i was gonna say if he's just doing that with a guitar
[64:01]that blows my mind
[64:03]yeah okay good uh i want to take you higher this is a true psychedelic song one of their
[64:14]favorites to play in concert i think this band might have the best intros we've done
[64:20]i picked all the beginning of the songs i gotta tell you guys when i was a sophomore in high
[64:24]school i played in the band for the show choir and we did this song and i was really fucking
[64:32]good i won't let anybody tell me different i was great playing this song what was your part in the
[64:36]choir what was the trombone no i played in the band for the choir yeah you were burying that
[64:42]playing take you higher i buried the bone somewhere that would be a fun song to play
[64:45]you're right do it and you know what i want to take you higher and this is going to be a little
[64:50]bit of a thing see if you can see if you can find the theme i have for today's show there was a song
[64:54]recorded the same year called i want to take you higher by a little band known as uh ike and tina
[65:00]turner oh and it whereas i want to take you higher got up to 38th on the list the tina turner
[65:07]ake turner version got up to 34 the same year it came out and did better wow oh and i see why this
[65:15]song is much better it's tighter yeah it just sounds like you think this is better oh tina
[65:22]singing this yes yeah i mean it's so good but it just would suck to be like again it'd be
[65:30]like us having a podcast and something comes out with the same exact episode but just
[65:33]i don't know somehow better maybe more scatman bits where he's driving a boat
[65:37]the one thing i heard on this one is definitely the influence for one of the most popular video
[65:44]game sound bites in the history of video games rob can you pull up the sound bite oh sure
[65:48]oh yes yeah it's technically boom lock the lock on this but actually the guys who are making nba jam
[66:00]one of the producers was listening to a lot of the family stone yes and he told the guy who was in
[66:06]there doing the audio that you should try just saying boom shakalaka and he goes like i don't
[66:10]even know what that means and he goes just do it trust me and they put it in there and it became
[66:14]like the famous thing in nba jam so good boom so you're telling me that boom shakalaka comes from
[66:22]sly and the family stone and the band is named chimba wamba we learned both those facts today
[66:27]this is blow by fucking by mind blown
[66:30]this probably isn't earth shattering either but uh that that outcast was probably listening to
[66:34]these guys but rosa parks they they must be they must have lifted that for the
[66:38]i agree that and the chamber wamba stuff both equally interesting and
[66:47]mind-blowing i mean this is a is this the first psychedelic podcast if you think about it think
[66:52]about what we've talked about today i would argue this is a fake podcast i'm pretty sure we
[66:56]specifically had one that you called a psychedelic podcast
[66:59]i'm pretty sure we specifically had one that you called a psychedelic podcast
[67:00]this song is called somebody's watching you and it's terrible
[67:08]and the thing is sly and the family stone the good songs are so good and the bad songs are so good
[67:15]bad the bad songs are terrible on this album it is like whiplash listen to these lyrics
[67:19]games are to be played with toys etc okay i'm just gonna stop right there they use the term
[67:25]etc in a song that's crazy shady as a lady in a mustache
[67:29]there's like yeah i mean that's kind of like a that's kind of a crappy thing to say now
[67:33]jumping forward to like 245 or something put it near the end a little bit let me see
[67:39]245 let me try it 245
[67:44]oh see i like this part though there's a little bit of i think it's an organ in the background
[67:56]yes you're right i was actually reading our favorite artist's back
[67:59]actually has an organ that's influenced by sly and the family stone his song sissy neck
[68:04]sampled the song life and and a organ from that but check out the organ on this back song
[68:10]oh yeah nice what the fuck russell so that is a sample of life by sly and the family stone
[68:19]so when it comes to sampling sly and the family stone with the badass organ groove
[68:23]who did it better beck did it better so russell heard a part at the end of that song and just
[68:29]goes back he's just like that like it's like a it's like a weird rain man thing where he's like
[68:35]better get on that the people at songfacts.com are like jesus there's so many more back searchers
[68:41]than there have ever been ever before this is outrageous uh all right when all you got is a
[68:47]hammer everything's a nail this and again this is just the start of the song listen to sing a simple
[68:52]song
[68:52]oh
[68:59]the bass on this one it's this one technically you have to be referred to as a groove yes
[69:04]in fact russell this song is so good that it inspired many people to cover it okay so this
[69:14]is the second song where we're going to go through some covers of sing a simple song
[69:17]first one ike and tina turner
[69:21]but she changed all the lyrics to bold soul sister
[69:27]and stuff
[69:28]sounds like the meters and this is almost not fair like i can see the turner we're like just
[69:35]they were they had a different goal i mean i don't talk about ike but listen to this song
[69:38]it's good no it's not as good as sing a simple song this one fails the
[69:45]rob test not as good however so then next up okay we go to one of their biggest hit songs
[69:52]in fact this is a hit single prior to this album number one billboard hit everyday people
[69:58]another groove russell
[70:00]this is one of my all-time if i started a hundred song lists like matt scott this might be on there
[70:07]for me yeah how does it not bring a smile to your face every time right
[70:11]i mean his voice is so good the music is so good and you know who else thought it was so good
[70:18]eddie vetter dolly parton what
[70:22]oh no i'm gonna play the cover and you guess the band i'm gonna play the cover and you guess the
[70:28]band i'm gonna play the cover and you guess the band i'm gonna play the cover and you guess the band
[70:28]okay
[70:28]i mean she sounds great she always sounds great sounds great
[70:32]i think musicians love this song because they're like songs do change lives
[70:38]okay name this band
[70:42]this sucks by the way
[70:46]close i'm gonna give you a hint watching your ass jiggle on that table will permanently scar me
[70:56]i'd do anything for it
[70:58]i'd fight a steak dinner
[70:59]oh no
[71:00]and whisper sweet
[71:00]and as you can tell for the notes i once again just copied all the text messages
[71:06]i may need to see the booty
[71:08]uh you're 50 times hotter in person and so am i
[71:11]yeah body versus absurd so good
[71:13]then probably the most famous version of this at least in my life
[71:19]yep
[71:20]yeah this is what i bought this i bought this whole cd just for this track well that mr wendell right
[71:26]mr wendell
[71:27]so good
[71:28]here brother man have two
[71:30]i mean now like this is such a good problematic too like this is a little bit preachy and like
[71:38]i arrested development like kind of rocked my world when they first came out they were great
[71:44]yeah and then there's a band that covered this song and you'll never guess who it was
[71:51]and it came out three years later it's ike and tina turner
[71:57]god she could sing though
[72:01]got a little more space to it
[72:03]that was her thing right they were like an r&b review they were like on the road every night
[72:08]playing live right so they had to play stuff people wanted to hear
[72:10]i mean i love you know everything he was like a huge musician like he was a big time guitar
[72:18]player for a very long time right like he was well known as a kind of a pioneer in himself
[72:23]i'm telling you he did a lot of bad things guys these songs are so good everybody's covering them
[72:27]everybody's going crazy with it you missed pearl jam i mean pearl jam covers it all the time you
[72:32]miss pearl jam rob that's okay we won't hold it against you that one's so good because it's got
[72:36]a lullaby in it remember this was on the lullaby list oh yes that's right i totally forgot what
[72:41]you're the baker yeah that's yes again then russell was that a fairy tale fairy tale episode
[72:48]that was a fairy tale right wasn't that a fairy tale that you're talking about
[72:50]those are my favorite or fairy tale they're different with hobgoblins
[72:57]you guys got to check out so we earlier we were talking about the boom shakalaka it's kind of just
[73:02]these like random sounds right it's not words and we've talked with matt before like matt doesn't
[73:06]even care about the lyrics he just wants to like what is the feeling it's given him what's the
[73:10]sound and so there's another one of these in here where they're using nonsense lyrics rob check this
[73:14]out check this time cue out is it this one yeah just give it a second
[73:20]are they saying scooby-dooby-doo what is that
[73:27]wait this is pre scooby-doo i i read that scooby-doo came out just after this but some
[73:35]people think it was inspired by a song by frank sinatra who used scooby-doo on strangers in the
[73:42]night he is doobie doobie do but these guys on two songs sounds like a good idea kind of
[73:49]bundles of nonsense syllables so i thought we could do a list of the greatest songs ever
[73:54]featuring nonsense oh that's great this is great
[73:57]it's a top five pearl jam song
[73:58]hey rob yes you can do as much scat banding on this list as you want because the scat man was
[74:09]b-bop bopping right he would be bop bop bop and it is true that if the scat man can do it uh
[74:15]so can you so and i'm looking up scat man lyrics so i can make more jokes later thank you was
[74:20]1955 i think we've talked about this guy maybe once before this is little richard tootie fruity
[74:24]oh sorry i was
[74:27]looking at my scat man stuff i was totally distracted this is my bad
[74:29]nonsense lyrics right there right yes
[74:37]you know what's so funny though i don't even think about
[74:40]is being nonsense but it is it's just i've said it so many times in my life i mean honestly i
[74:47]say a lot bamboo more than most people i would guess i read it was his verbal rendition of drum
[74:53]patterns and i think rolling stone in april 2012 called that referring to a song called
[74:56]refrain the most inspired rock lyric ever recorded oh my god i guess it's so good it's
[75:02]it's crazy listening to little richard it's just crazy also his clips on youtube incredible like
[75:08]watching live just amazing i also read that prince and sly stone were also very heavily
[75:15]influenced by james brown jimmy hendrix and little richard in their style yeah oh yeah i can see that
[75:21]for sure all right next song on the list uh this is shirley ellis the song is called the name game the
[75:26]name game everybody do tony
[75:30]you know there's some kids you know there's some kids conceived of this song right
[75:40]like you know there's some kids conceived of this song it's popular enough where it was playing
[75:45]while kids were conceived
[75:46]right and then like oh let's do chuck next you know i actually read erin that you're right on
[75:56]used to amaze the audience by taking requests for the name game in concert but whenever someone
[76:01]asked for chuck she had the good sense to ignore those people i just think somebody heard tony tony
[76:06]bo boney and they're like hmm she's got a good idea we should do that and then and then i mean
[76:11]it would be tough though if you if your kid was being bored you're like what name are we gonna
[76:15]pick i mean there's just you have to go through the name you're like well shirley shirley bo
[76:26]your name right now russell do your name without even thinking about it do the name game on your
[76:29]name russ russ bo bus banana fanna fo fuss he is not going to cuss russ erin erin bo baron banana
[76:39]fanna fo farin me my mo erin erin yes isn't me my mo baron yeah i missed it i missed it
[76:46]god you suck me out for what are we doing i'm looking up lyrics i what are we doing
[76:51]it's that q-tip documentary we're talking about that q-tip
[76:56]uh matt matt fo is so fat banana vanna bolat
[77:01]the my mo he hates cats oh this is amazing rob rob rob bob banana fanna fo me my mo mob rob
[77:11]listen this is amazing that that song is a hit you had that you had that that was too good we did it
[77:19]it was not good like i will not listen to any of this again but she has a hit song that has that
[77:24]it's crazy she
[77:26]also do you guys remember we've talked about this artist once before shirley ellis you remember when
[77:30]we talked about her we talked about the name game our person not the name game but she had a
[77:35]different song that was even a bigger hit it was the hand clapping song we did the best song ever
[77:40]with hand claps and she had the hand clapping song what's the hand clapping song she was a
[77:45]novelty you have to pull that one up a novelty hit person hand clap look at those look at that
[77:51]big you like that all that i know all caps
[77:53]i can't believe he all caps
[77:56]this song is called clap pat clap slap
[78:01]yes remember this one yes
[78:05]monkey your monkey got choked she's got some jams that's a good song they must have been like
[78:17]listen you're gonna do what and she's like it's a name game you say
[78:21]you say a name they say banana fan and part way through the song i'm gonna explain how you do the
[78:24]game in the song and they're gonna be like listen we didn't think your clap song was gonna be big
[78:28]and we were fucking wrong about that so we will let you do whatever you want like yeah i bet she
[78:34]had some real bad ideas though later don't you think she's like let's do our favorite kind of
[78:37]potatoes a song about potatoes then she's like mashed baked scale see it's not good that's my
[78:43]point it's not good you guys just showed me how bad it is shirley ellis shame on you
[78:46]next song on the list we've talked about our favorite bass man before that was
[78:51]the guy from uh the boys to men who i may be dead we don't really know or has some sort of problem
[78:56]but this song next song on the list is by johnny symbol the song is called mr bass man check this
[79:01]one out yes
[79:07]you know what
[79:20]would you say that this was this is kind of a kent herbeck to me
[79:26]i mean this is the first bass man i've ever heard
[79:29]matt would you say that that band reminds you of a band you
[79:35]when i think of bass man you know who i think of
[79:39]who do you think of crash test dummies there's only
[79:44]man if the crash test dummies did a name game what do you think that would sound like
[79:50]ross she is a boss who wouldn't go and cuss with the puss out of his bus
[80:01]i'm starting to realize i don't think i don't think they finally made him
[80:08]this podcast turned into robbie and way too high
[80:20]aaron couldn't quite explain it he always just showed up on friday
[80:28]next song on the list we were talking about chumbawamba i believe this band beat chumbawamba
[80:37]for the number one hit in 1997 it's oh man this thing was everywhere
[80:42]listen to those dad said syllables
[80:47]listen to those heartbeats these kids sound
[80:50]good man
[80:56]it's a this i gotta say guys looking back actually a bop yeah it's a bop right if you're like number
[81:03]one in 12 countries you're at a wedding and this came on you'd hit the dance floor
[81:06]vh1 called it one of the the 20th greatest song of the 90s what are your guys thoughts on that
[81:12]is that one of the 20 best songs of the 90s that's what well it's like call me maybe i always makes
[81:18]all these lists i mean it's like the same thing
[81:20]like give me a the 20th best song of the 90s i don't know this 20th best okay well i can think
[81:25]of a couple songs that are i would say pretty good and let's see i think so and i can think
[81:36]of another 90s song that i really enjoyed too but i would say number three i would say that
[81:44]number three i think it's really good
[81:50]i have to say so i believe sly stone has a brother and sister in the band is that right that is
[81:57]correct so the brothers the hansons were all brothers and they must have been inspired by
[82:01]sly and the family stone check out the cover they did i think this is higher check out this cover
[82:05]they did of sly and sly stone everybody's covering them everybody's covering them russell we should
[82:10]combine forces what the hell instrument is that i don't know but that's like a cheap keyboard that's
[82:18]adult hansen's cover
[82:20]and sly and the family stones they must have been given some props to an amazing band i mean i like
[82:24]the i like the bass line it sounds like thriller or something there's russell in the crowd oh play
[82:29]umbop i want to hear umbop it's the 20th best song of the 90s turn this shit off this is not
[82:35]very good right i didn't say it was better i just know you did it but i'm just saying like
[82:40]that's kind of the first time i've heard a cover like all right maybe leave it
[82:44]russell's hiding a record he bought back in his shells what did russell show us that
[82:49]oh my god it's the hansen record with that song on it he's embarrassed he liked it he bought it
[82:55]now he's embarrassed he said it was no good last song on the list featuring nonsense syllables this
[82:59]is lady gaga bad romance
[83:01]russell i was wishing she said um yeah yeah in this one like i imagine she said um yeah yeah
[83:11]of course russell back in 2011 sly stone actually said he wanted to work with lady
[83:19]gaga he said all these guys are playing all these amazing songs from the past
[83:23]lady gaga let me come in and play and pay me if you like it he's famous for threatening to come
[83:29]back and then never actually do like never actually working like he's been like been that
[83:34]way for decades right like oh sly's working with somebody on something that never happens like
[83:38]sly and d'angelo are gonna do a record no never gonna happen oh oh oh geez it'd be amazing wouldn't
[83:43]it like wouldn't be incredible but russell i gotta tell you right now great list was another
[83:47]brood of the smith or smith or brood
[83:49]that was nonsense russell because it was a top five nonsense list i've ever heard
[83:53]now i was i have to admit russell okay it pains me to admit this but i was distracted during your
[83:59]list because i had pulled up a lyrics sheet yeah for a song called uh scatman which is a song by
[84:05]scatman john and i was reading through and it just reminded me of when uh they checked in it
[84:13]turns out he'd also sent out some uh what do you call it morse code messages right
[84:17]yeah and this came out from scatman john he said
[84:19]check out my message to you as a matter of fact don't let nothing hold you back
[84:24]if the scatman can do it brother so can you and then google is taking the time to write out
[84:29]i might put this into a text translator and do it for our next uh
[84:37]i like that rob imagines google as a human who's writing things like google's google sat down
[84:43]at the scroll and took their papyrus and wrote this out
[84:48]somebody wrote that paul
[84:49]hold on wait reverse five seconds what did they say there oh go back eight i missed it
[84:54]employee i love how like employee number four google was a typist that only used their left
[84:59]finger on the shift and they haven't found a way to lay that person off that person is rich
[85:04]you know what i could write this down i bet i almost know this whole song i hear you all ask
[85:09]about the meaning of scat and the professor and all i can tell you is when you're sleeping the
[85:13]saints are weeping because of the things you call dead haven't yet had the chance to be born
[85:19]i'm the scat man it's kind of poetry
[85:21]it's not too weird yet guys this is not too weird this is fine
[85:32]russell's so mad okay okay here we go oh he really is mad sex machine i was i was googling
[85:43]chumba wumba lyrics so here's the here's the deal that song everyday people is so good
[85:48]so good how would you follow that up on the album well how about a terrible song
[85:53]extended jam that is kind of meandering oh my god i gotta say i was really disappointed in this
[86:00]for some reason i got it in my head it was gonna be that song love machine i'm just a love machine
[86:05]oh yeah and i won't work for nobody but you and then it wasn't that song and it bummed me out
[86:12]this just seems like a this is like a take a break and go have sex song i guess like it's
[86:18]like oh you don't have to listen and you can like go do some sex and then come back for the
[86:22]end of the album is that what you tried to do when you listen to it this week yeah it hasn't worked
[86:27]out yet yeah not there yet but it's like a good idea right i think this is a good sign to go and
[86:31]have sex too too yeah oh tony now that makes you know what that makes me think of mama mooney tony
[86:41]tony i'm stuck in the dryer tony mona mona tony i tried to get this nickel under the coffee table i'm
[86:48]stuck tony can you come help me out i love these moments when we're almost to the last song of the
[86:52]album and rob just can't can't bear to play he doesn't want it to be over you can make it if you
[86:57]try a bang another groove this is fun right this is fun this is total fun one now it might surprise
[87:11]you guess you know how popular their song was not popular
[87:18]somebody covered it the theme somebody covered it oh wait a minute no this is from 1958 the song
[87:26]we just listened to is from 1969 this was a cover it's a reverse for the end it covered this song
[87:32]from 1958 if you try what this is fantastic it's a reverse cover situation if you try oh my god
[87:44]you can now sly of
[87:48]course has full writing credit on this song as he does all the songs who is this rob gene allison
[87:54]and i and i and going through it i just want to tell you there is a cover of it so i lied this is
[87:59]a this is a double cover situation this is a double blind double cover i'm coming at you i
[88:04]said there wasn't a cover i said it was a reverse cover i would double down now there is no this is
[88:09]high low this is gambling you got to listen to this cover by buddy guy in 1980 you can make it
[88:18]late day buddy guy so so so good so guys you know what let's get into our most popular segment
[88:30]everyone's waiting it's time for just like this album we're going to take something really good
[88:35]and then add something not very good here at the end because rob thinks it's funny
[88:38]and i really do you guys know the chumbawamba lyrics they actually capitalize the words whiskey
[88:46]vodka lager and cider
[88:48]as if it's like a proper trademark what is up with that it's it's british it's why they're
[88:52]called chambawamba listen this album is at one uh i've just put 69 oh that was the year but this
[89:00]album was at 119 i was like this is album 69 jesus christ i'm stuck in a terrible time loop
[89:05]uh this is album 119 okay and again this podcast is not about the music we couldn't care less about
[89:10]the album we're not talking about the album we're talking about the list okay this is a podcast
[89:14]about the list we love this list we want to talk about the list is this album about the album
[89:17]this album stand by sly and the family stone okay it's got some nonsense words it's got some great
[89:23]songs it's got some mediocre songs does this deserve to be at number 119 okay if you think
[89:31]it does if it's perfect if they did a great job with the list okay it is a rolling well toned we
[89:35]think this is great if we think this should have been higher on the list okay that would be a
[89:42]rolling uh groan because we do not like it it should be higher
[89:47]i want to don't you nobody's looking at the screen anymore everybody's doing different
[89:51]things as i say this they're all kind of reading other stuff or whatever i'm not going to look
[89:54]i'm all in locked in should we have heard this earlier okay maybe 118 maybe 117 maybe 116 not
[90:02]115 i don't think it belongs there but 114 hmm now you got me thinking again 114 banana fan
[90:08]f014 could it be 113 that would be a rolling bone it should have been up higher on the list
[90:13]is it a rolling well toned rolling bone and rolling groan you know our episodes lately have been
[90:17]so long it's crazy uh aaron what do you think rolling well toned rolling bone or rolling groan
[90:22]the highs on this album are so high these grooves are just so good um i'm trying to remember back
[90:31]now till there's a riot going on um i feel like there's a riot going on as more consistent start
[90:35]to finish and as important as sly and the family stone are i just don't know if we need to hear
[90:42]them twice in the top 150 so i i'm going to i'm going to reluctantly
[90:47]have to give this a rolling groan all right if you don't remember uh there's a right going on
[90:53]had the hit song spaced cowboy it did have family affair which i like running away which is okay
[90:59]it's i don't know it's not as it's a and it's all eight minute songs uh russell what do you
[91:04]think rolling well toned rolling bone or rolling groan you know i think there's part of this album
[91:09]that's kind of like an uplifting album makes you feel good to listen to a lot of the songs
[91:13]to me there's a bunch of commercial hits on there you guys know i like those i've heard of stand
[91:17]i want to take you higher i love the song everyday people so for me i'm going to say
[91:21]it's rolling well toned i'll probably come back and listen to this again yeah it's a i think it's
[91:25]i think it's a superior album to there's a right going on i get there's a right going on might be
[91:29]better musically but it doesn't have this many bops on it matt what do you think rolling well
[91:33]toned rolling bone or rolling groan um first i just i have to get this out there so i don't get
[91:38]kicked off the pod by magic mike and all those oh my god is scatman still alive no no no you guys
[91:47]know and i fully admit that i do absolutely jack squat in preparation for this for this and russell
[91:53]and rob do a ton and russell does so much behind the scenes that we don't know about so him doing
[91:58]this so i never ever ever want to criticize russell's list oh you're gonna now but him
[92:03]missing yellow lead better by pearl jam is a nonsensical song i just i have to call it out now
[92:11]so so i don't get you know just because somebody will call it in but i do want to follow up on this
[92:16]i've never known if it's nonsense or if i just can't understand the words it actually
[92:20]it's nonsense yeah it's actual nonsense and it's so good
[92:24]so they just been playing a joke on people for this whole absolutely wow people have tried forever
[92:34]to say and he said i was just sitting on my you know you hear like porch and so i just sit on my
[92:38]porch just making the song so that's all i had to say i never want to criticize amazing nonsense
[92:44]syllables matt you're right wow so you but
[92:46]because you do so much more for this so i'm not criticizing anything but
[92:50]yes that was the top five list that was a really good list actually
[92:53]it was kind of your own thing but i loved it i would put yellow lead better on my thanksgiving
[92:59]playlist thanks guys yeah um okay so now i've taken everybody's time russell i love your list
[93:07]and i appreciate him so i please i hope me saying that's not stepping in honestly man it proved that
[93:12]you listened so i'm taking that as a win okay there you go i don't know what man's talking about
[93:16]actually i thought we i thought we did a list on the crash this dumb because i'm confused there
[93:20]was a number of great songs as you guys have said there's a number of just kind of i don't know
[93:25]what's going on songs and then so does this album as a whole need to be up here this high uh i'm
[93:32]with rosie i don't think it needs to be up this high there's some great songs everyday people
[93:36]great song covered by a million people love it that's that's a a top song not a top album so i'm
[93:46]a little bit lower on the list which means it has a higher number well unfortunately you guys are
[93:51]incorrect i hate to do it to you can't believe it hey listen well don't worry we have another 381
[93:57]to try to get this right so we're gonna nail it at some point this is a rolling now some people
[94:03]might say this is a rolling cover version because some people say there's a theme with some covers
[94:07]and maybe he didn't explore those themes as much as got distracted by them but it doesn't matter
[94:11]okay but that's not the ranking that's not the ranking today this is again for the second time a
[94:16]oscar nomination just like the last slide the family stone record it's the same thing
[94:20]this is i guarantee you we will see a movie in our lifetime about sly stone and it will win an
[94:27]oscar okay mark my words i said it last time i'm going to say it again we will see a movie about
[94:32]this guy it will win an oscar money in the bank i thought q-tip already did a documentary album
[94:39]but oh it did it with an oscar yes no i'm talking about sly story now like a
[94:46]modern day sly stone story we're going to watch it slice it's going to win the oscar
[94:49]and when you do all these beckline listeners who are like oh we don't like to be criticized or
[94:53]whatever i wasn't really listening they will call and say rob was right okay just like the typing
[94:59]thing and the shifting which i'm also going to say is people are totally right on so next week
[95:02]listen we don't have time for this next week oh god i wrote this down earlier too this is a dance
[95:09]this game like right after the scatman stuff so please i'm so sorry it's a dance move i actually
[95:14]invented in college with my prince costume
[95:15]we're doing the moon dance
[95:19]for that when you want to hear about the greatest albums the best
[95:25]i went outside to do a moon dance and i got bit by a stray cat it was a terrible night for it
[95:31]he doesn't know what he's talking about
[95:32]if you want to hear from guys who chat and then they get off track
[95:35]i've got the perfect podcast for you jack beck did it better you guys rob cut off that uh
[95:45]the name game song before we got to the last verse i thought i could share with you sing it if you will
[95:50]okay okay goes chambo whambo
[95:52]this is this is my favorite bit
[96:10]i agree when this comes on every time
[96:12]um
[96:15]funnel cloud i mean i'm still thinking about that tornado trying to suck me off
[96:22]the white t-shirt joke was good enough like the white yeah we're not so good
[96:27]we're not in kansas i think you have a solid enough base where you wouldn't take you off
[96:32]the ground rob you just stay there i would be able to be there i'd be locked down i'd like
[96:35]dorothy in the uh movie twister where it's they make it heavier so it sets down all the scientific
[96:40]instruments fly into the sky okay we're not just remembering the white shirt from that movie which
[96:44]is what aaron knows about the white shirt from that movie which is what aaron knows about the
[96:45]white shirt from that movie which is what aaron knows about the white shirt from that movie which is what aaron knows exactly what a perfect 100 pervert
