Black Sabbath: Paranoid (1970)
[00:00]We went to this place in Italy and our private chef when we arrived was playing a record and it was, he said, oh, I can change the music you want.
[00:06]And he was playing the Blues Brothers soundtrack.
[00:08]And I was like, I know, please keep this going.
[00:10]I love this album.
[00:11]We got a kid on my T-Ball team.
[00:12]Hey, Bubba, he, Bubba, he would do.
[00:13]Hey, Bubba, he, Bubba, he would do.
[00:15]We got a kid on the T-Ball team named Elwood.
[00:22]You know how much fun I'm having saying Elwood.
[00:24]That is amazing.
[00:25]Every time.
[00:28]Elwood.
[00:29]The Blues Brothers.
[00:30]She is.
[00:31]When it's Elwood's turn for snacks, he's going to bring four chickens.
[00:38]Four fried chickens and a Coke.
[00:40]You want chicken legs or chicken wings?
[00:43]Four fried chickens.
[00:45]I remember listening to that Blues Brothers album and the rubber biscuit comes on and I go, what the fuck?
[00:49]Even at that time, I was like, this is not right.
[00:52]These two white comedians should not be going rubber biscuit.
[00:56]I was like, I don't know why.
[00:58]This is wrong.
[00:59]But this seems wrong to me.
[01:00]Love the movie, though.
[01:04]Not long enough.
[01:05]In 2020, four friends decided to listen to every one of the greatest 500 albums, aside
[01:10]by Rolling Stone magazine.
[01:11]This resulted in a text chain that celebrated the music, excoriated the order, and led us
[01:15]to making this podcast.
[01:15]We are far from experts.
[01:17]We promise to do almost no research.
[01:18]All opinions are our own, unless you disagree.
[01:21]Please sit back and enjoy.
[01:23]Beck did it better.
[01:24]We are all the way up to album.
[01:26]Now, last week, I claimed we were up to album one.
[01:29]I said, thank God we're out of the 130s.
[01:31]They're driving me nuts.
[01:32]Well, it turns out this is album 139.
[01:35]This is the series of 10 that never ends, guys.
[01:38]We're in the 130s, I swear.
[01:39]It's crazy.
[01:41]From 1970, it's Black Sabbath with Paranoid.
[01:46]Guys, listen.
[01:48]We're going to get right into it.
[01:50]I have a special announcement, though, for tonight's intro.
[01:54]And that is that this is one that I have not heard yet.
[01:58]This is a brand new.
[01:59]This is a brand new one to me.
[01:59]This is not going to happen.
[02:00]We've got a special guest for K-Rob,
[02:03]but let's just go over and turn on the radio.
[02:05]Wait.
[02:05]Not a problem.
[02:06]Hey, what's up, everybody?
[02:09]Thanks for joining us today at K-Rob.
[02:10]K-R-O-B.
[02:12]Your main host, Rob, is out, too.
[02:15]It's me, Wolfman Russ, back with a vengeance.
[02:18]Yes.
[02:19]Wolfman Russ.
[02:20]Rob is out today with an injury.
[02:23]It turns out our favorite Iron Man's hamstring
[02:26]couldn't hold up.
[02:29]Right.
[02:29]Ha, ha, ha.
[02:31]This next song is dedicated to our main host
[02:34]and all he does to create this podcast.
[02:37]Finally.
[02:39]Rob is podcast man.
[02:44]Yes.
[02:45]He is the podcast for all you fans.
[02:48]Yes.
[02:48]Rob plays the back line calls.
[02:51]And Max Dirty jokes about talking balls.
[02:54]Ha, ha, ha.
[02:59]Oh, my God.
[02:59]I'm going to pass out.
[03:00]See Rob's yearbook picture there.
[03:04]It's Andre the Giant with grandma's hair.
[03:07]Gross sound bite from his water match.
[03:10]Macho Man impressions, although he's dead.
[03:13]Oh, yeah.
[03:15]Oh, yes.
[03:17]Oh, yeah.
[03:18]It's just a macho man.
[03:19]Oh, yes.
[03:20]Now I'm deep digging your wife and you're still in there.
[03:23]Oh, my God.
[03:25]Oh, she's got a piece of cramp in my hamstring.
[03:27]Oh, God.
[03:29]Oh, my God.
[03:29]Oh, my God.
[03:29]Oh, it's moving to my heart.
[03:30]I'm going to get in my Jeep and drive it for you.
[03:34]Wow, this is so funny.
[03:35]Does anyone else smell toast?
[03:36]Oh, no.
[03:37]Oh, my God.
[03:44]Rob's the best athlete on the softball field.
[03:48]Last week he raged and kicked an automobile.
[03:50]Yes.
[03:52]With Rob's travel time.
[03:54]He'd make out with himself, take a mustache ride.
[03:59]Listeners love him.
[04:00]Parodies rock their whole world.
[04:04]Yep.
[04:05]Wow.
[04:06]We're doing the whole song, aren't we?
[04:08]Close.
[04:08]Why not?
[04:10]What is Rob's new thing?
[04:13]That he will soon unfurl.
[04:16]I'm doing jujitsu, but it's tough because every time I get choked out, I get a massive erection.
[04:20]I don't know if I've ever jerked off to somebody in a suit before, but I'm going to throw it right now.
[04:29]My back doesn't even work.
[04:32]He's like, why are you looking at me like that?
[04:33]Now the time is here for Rob Drenigan to reappear.
[04:41]Rob cramps when he's burying his bone, but none of his jokes get a rolling groan.
[04:47]Downloaders love him.
[04:50]Oh, my God.
[04:51]Why don't they tell their friends?
[04:53]I could listen to this all day.
[04:55]Oh, yeah, good.
[04:56]It's just perfect.
[04:57]It's perfect.
[04:59]The attention would help him.
[05:02]Jenny won't let him spring.
[05:06]Hey, Robby.
[05:10]How's it rolling going?
[05:11]How's it going?
[05:12]Robby.
[05:13]Don't be a brat, Robby.
[05:15]Don't be a brat, Robby.
[05:17]Don't be a brat, Dan.
[05:18]You guys aren't being fucking brats.
[05:20]I can't believe it.
[05:25]Not again.
[05:25]You know that, uh, Ohio has had its share.
[05:29]Of ecological disasters lately.
[05:30]Oh, my God.
[05:31]And now Heinz Field is burning down.
[05:34]It's Ketchup Fire by Bob Marley and the Wailers.
[05:38]Oh, Robby.
[05:41]About the greatest albums of all time.
[05:44]That, uh, wow.
[05:45]Rob, we were honoring you.
[05:47]Book it up online.
[05:48]My Rob has really turned it up tonight.
[05:50]This is, yeah.
[05:51]It must be under new management.
[05:53]New love.
[05:53]I really can't get up and catch it.
[05:55]My absolute favorite part of that song was the clip where I was making jokes.
[05:59]I made sure to get you in there.
[06:01]That did it better.
[06:02]Yeah.
[06:02]I think, uh, I, I gotta admit, that is a true joy.
[06:06]I did not listen to that song at all before we play it.
[06:08]And listening to Russ singing, like, and picturing him in his house just going,
[06:12]Ba!
[06:13]Aaron, man, I was gonna ask you, I was gonna ask Aaron for advice.
[06:18]Like, what do you do when something feels out of your range?
[06:20]Do you sing it down below in your range?
[06:22]Or do you just shoot for it and strain?
[06:24]Or what do you do?
[06:24]Sing it harder.
[06:25]Yeah, you just sing it harder.
[06:26]Yeah.
[06:27]I learned that.
[06:28]Yep.
[06:28]Just sing harder.
[06:29]Just sing harder.
[06:29]Yep.
[06:30]You nailed it.
[06:31]It's a metal song, right?
[06:32]You gotta go for it.
[06:33]Yeah, just go louder and harder.
[06:35]Rob is...
[06:36]Podcast, man.
[06:37]You know, uh, behind the scene, we, we've got the text chain, right?
[06:41]With all the, the college guys.
[06:43]Mm-hmm.
[06:43]And I completely, the whole Robbie thing, I never remembered where that came from or
[06:48]anything.
[06:48]So, but now I remember.
[06:49]The Brad thing.
[06:50]So, some of them, Barry from, Barry from Burnsville still calls Rob, Robbie.
[06:55]Robbie.
[06:55]He didn't know where it was from.
[06:56]As much as he possibly can.
[06:57]Yeah.
[06:57]Now I remember where it's from.
[06:59]That's good.
[06:59]You sick, you sick brats not doing what I, exactly what I tell you to do.
[07:02]That's sick.
[07:03]Well, Russell, congratulations, because now you're going to make that song every week.
[07:06]So, I hope you...
[07:06]Oh, I do, I do one every seven each episode.
[07:09]I'll, I'll be back in like, in like episode 220.
[07:12]Oh, God, that's so far from now.
[07:14]That, that was just so good.
[07:15]Now listen up.
[07:16]This is Beck Did It Better.
[07:17]We are going over the top 500 albums of all time as chosen by Rolling Stone Magazine.
[07:21]Last week was an unmitigated disaster.
[07:24]Okay?
[07:25]I have not seen any text messages or anything like that, but listen, we did it backwards.
[07:29]Episode last week, we mentioned a guy bringing an old woman home from McDonald's and giving
[07:36]her some extra sweet and sour sauce, and we had no time to talk about it.
[07:39]Yeah.
[07:40]The worst.
[07:41]Double royale.
[07:42]I was like in Italy over the last week with my family, and the whole time I was there,
[07:46]I was like, I mean, here's a joke I could make right now.
[07:50]You know what I mean?
[07:51]Like, my, my, my ice cream machine is working.
[07:55]And that's not, I mean, I thought of better jokes too.
[07:58]So, it's not.
[07:59]It's not a big deal.
[07:59]In this McDonald's, they still put nuts on top of the chocolate sundae.
[08:04]What do you call it when you have nuts on top of your chocolate sundae?
[08:12]No, you, no, sorry.
[08:13]I told that one, I told that one to the family, and they're like, shh, everybody on the tour
[08:17]of the Coliseum can hear you.
[08:18]Please, quiet.
[08:19]Stop saying that.
[08:20]It doesn't make any sense.
[08:21]The acoustics are great here.
[08:22]Next, next March, I'm going to make, next March, I'm going to make that lady shamrock shake.
[08:27]Oh, fuck.
[08:29]Oh.
[08:29]Oh.
[08:30]I'll make your shamrock shake.
[08:33]You make me go crazy.
[08:34]You're my butterfly, sugar, baby.
[08:37]Meanwhile, she's actually eating a McRib.
[08:41]It's like a stir rib.
[08:42]You've ordered the McRib?
[08:45]Listen, when I think back to my college experience, it's, it's going down on an elderly woman
[08:49]while she eats in a McRib.
[08:50]Whoa, that took a turn.
[08:53]Aaron, you kind of do strike me as the guy who would go to like a chain,
[08:58]fast food restaurant and then order like whatever they have that's new on the menu.
[09:02]I would.
[09:03]And actually one of my great regrets in life is that I've still never had a KFC double
[09:06]down.
[09:06]I've never had a double down.
[09:07]And I might, when my brother and I were both living in Minneapolis, we talked it up.
[09:11]Like it would always be like, this is the week we're going to go get the double down.
[09:14]And then we were always afraid of it.
[09:15]That just shows you how fucked diet culture is, doesn't it?
[09:18]Because there was a good time where double down was literally people were like, finally,
[09:21]something I could eat.
[09:23]Something healthy I could eat.
[09:25]There's no carbs in there.
[09:27]Yeah.
[09:27]Just, just chicken on cheese on chicken.
[09:30]Everybody was like, this is actually good for us.
[09:33]It's like, God, we're stupid.
[09:34]Going back to my going down on a woman eating McRib joke.
[09:38]Both these things only come once a year.
[09:39]That's for sure.
[09:40]To get back to that.
[09:41]Yeah.
[09:41]Russell, I want to get that clean so you can put it in the next step.
[09:44]Here it is.
[09:45]Both these things only come once a year.
[09:47]Listen, I've got three guys here who want to talk about a black Sabbath.
[09:55]I've got Russell in Minnesota.
[09:57]Russell, how are you doing?
[09:57]I'm doing good.
[09:57]Guys, my parody song, it sure did shred and it left our listeners full of dread.
[10:03]Downloading as fast as they can.
[10:05]Beck did it better.
[10:06]Lives again.
[10:07]Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.
[10:10]I got Matt in Minneapolis.
[10:12]Matt, how are you doing?
[10:13]I'm doing great, Rob.
[10:14]Appreciate you having me.
[10:16]Thanks for letting me join.
[10:17]And I've got Aaron who probably has a funny story about eating the head of a bat that
[10:21]he got at the farmer's market earlier.
[10:22]I think, I think I know someone who, I think I know someone who's seen the head that was
[10:27]there.
[10:27]The person for the head eating, the bat head eating.
[10:30]But you guys, I wouldn't usually record on the Sabbath, but I'll do it for black Sabbath.
[10:34]Let's talk about it.
[10:35]Oh my God.
[10:36]That's totally true.
[10:36]Well, for me, it's almost not the Sabbath anymore.
[10:38]It's a little late on a Sunday night and that's fine.
[10:42]I'm not worried about that.
[10:43]I'm not worried about school tomorrow.
[10:44]Rosie, tell us, who do you know that was at the black Sabbath bath story?
[10:48]My mom's husband.
[10:50]My stepdad.
[10:52]Yes.
[10:52]He was there.
[10:53]It happened in Des Moines.
[10:55]Listen, your mom should not be marrying some guy.
[10:57]Well, first of all, first of all.
[10:59]It's, it's, it's, it's time for one-on-one with Aaron's mom.
[11:05]Bringing this way back.
[11:07]All the way back.
[11:08]Listen, I don't feel like your mom should be dating somebody who's at an Ozzy Osbourne
[11:11]concert where he bit the head off a bat.
[11:12]Well, they've been married for 20 years now, but yeah.
[11:15]Yeah.
[11:16]But think about that.
[11:17]Are you happy with that?
[11:18]I mean, you shouldn't be happy with that.
[11:19]That seems like he's not a great guy.
[11:20]He shouldn't even be at that concert.
[11:21]Are you happy with this marriage or do you think it's out of your state?
[11:24]They listen to the podcast.
[11:26]Of course I'm happy with it.
[11:27]You guys are really trying to.
[11:29]Wait, does he download to a Galaxy device that I am happy with?
[11:33]That's a good question.
[11:34]I'm not sure.
[11:34]Yeah, there it is.
[11:36]At Vets Memorial Auditorium.
[11:38]He bit the bat off a bat head.
[11:40]In Des Moines.
[11:40]He's performing at Veterans Memorial Auditorium.
[11:42]But listen, so he went and he, he ate a bat head on January 20th, 1982.
[11:48]So this guy gets into his car, dead of winter, Iowa.
[11:52]He goes to see an Ozzy Osbourne concert at the Veterans Memorial Auditorium.
[11:57]And then sees him eat the head off a bat.
[11:59]That's crazy.
[12:01]And it's just once.
[12:02]I think it's just once that it happened.
[12:03]There's only one story about it.
[12:04]It was just once.
[12:05]Here's the story.
[12:06]Here's the story that happened though.
[12:07]Here's the story.
[12:08]Ozzy Osbourne used to think it was funny to throw like raw meat and like just gory things at the crowd.
[12:15]He said, what did he say here?
[12:16]I've always liked old movies.
[12:18]He used to have these custard pie fights.
[12:20]He gave me the idea to throw instead of pie, bits of meat and animal parts into the audience.
[12:25]I thought it was hilarious.
[12:26]They'd throw sheep testicles, live snakes, dead rats, all kinds of things back at me.
[12:30]Yeah.
[12:30]One time in Des Moines, somebody threw a bat up there.
[12:34]He thought it was a rubber bat.
[12:35]So he thought he was biting the hat off, biting the head off of a rubber bat.
[12:39]And it turned out to be a live bat.
[12:41]And now all the religious zealots, as it says, are, you know, have a reason to fight back against heavy metal music.
[12:47]I got to call BS a little bit because when I pick up a bat, I think I could tell 100% of the time.
[12:52]Is this a live bat or is this a rubber bat?
[12:54]I don't know.
[12:55]How many bats have you ever picked up?
[12:57]Well, zero, but rubber bats are quite a few.
[13:01]Hundreds.
[13:01]The good news is I just got a shipment of live bats from Wuhan, China.
[13:07]So I think that's going to be fine.
[13:08]Toward the end of the podcast, I'm going to open those up.
[13:11]Okay.
[13:11]And I'm going to have a fake bat in here and we'll see who can tell the difference.
[13:14]Listen, let's get right into our voicemail.
[13:17]We have one.
[13:18]Oh, of course we do.
[13:25]So stupid.
[13:25]I can kiss my ass.
[13:27]They're just the dumbest of the dumb.
[13:30]I got to make a nice one.
[13:31]Just the dumbest of the dumb.
[13:32]Dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb.
[13:34]It keeps going.
[13:35]Listeners.
[13:36]It just keeps going.
[13:37]Dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb.
[13:38]Terrible.
[13:38]Listeners.
[13:38]Fuck off.
[13:40]I don't like that anymore.
[13:41]Here we go.
[13:42]Fuck off.
[13:42]Tell Russ his wish has been granted.
[13:46]So, Russ, your wish has been granted.
[13:48]Now, to be full disclosure, I did text this out earlier.
[13:51]But it turns out that coming out.
[13:55]I don't know.
[13:55]But at some point, May 10th, Russell.
[13:59]May 10th.
[14:00]May 10th.
[14:01]Disney is releasing a brand new Muppets movie.
[14:09]A Muppet movie.
[14:10]The mayhem.
[14:11]Just about Dr. Teeth.
[14:13]Dr. Teeth and the electric mayhem?
[14:15]A whole movie?
[14:15]It literally is about Dr. Teeth and the electric mayhem the whole time.
[14:20]It is a multi-episode episodic show.
[14:22]Awesome.
[14:23]Seriously, though.
[14:24]A Muppet.
[14:25]It's a Muppets TV show about the music from the Dr. Teeth.
[14:27]How will that not be super fun?
[14:29]Oh, you know what it's going to be?
[14:30]It's going to be week after week of special guest star.
[14:33]Yeah.
[14:34]And they're going to be singing along.
[14:35]I think, Russell, there is a non-zero chance.
[14:38]And in fact, I would say it's a very good chance that we are going to get to see our namesake
[14:43]back on one of those shows singing with the Muppets.
[14:46]I bet he would sing Loser with them.
[14:49]What do you think?
[14:50]Who are we going to see on that show?
[14:51]What's a guaranteed rock solid real musical guest that's going to be on that show?
[14:55]John Legend right away.
[14:57]I don't know if he's I don't even know if he's still alive, but I would guess my guess
[15:02]will be Steven Tyler.
[15:03]I could see Steven Tyler.
[15:05]Oh, not anymore.
[15:06]Too old.
[15:07]No, he's he's got some issues with some underage women back in the 70s.
[15:13]So he's he's canceled.
[15:14]OK.
[15:15]All right.
[15:16]OK.
[15:16]That one's up.
[15:16]Lenny Lenny Kravitz.
[15:19]I bet you'll see Lenny Kravitz.
[15:20]Oh, I hope so.
[15:21]I can see like an Adele or something, you know, like a like a megaphone.
[15:25]Like a pop star like that or T Swift or something like that.
[15:28]Joining in on Harry Styles.
[15:30]Oh, yeah.
[15:31]I can see Harry Styles being in.
[15:32]I think it would be funny if they did do a gag where laughing even thinking about it.
[15:39]Lenny Kravitz does jump up in the air and all of a sudden out of his pants come a giant
[15:45]long arm length puppet and start singing a song like start singing American Woman.
[15:50]It's kind of goes.
[15:51]Yeah.
[15:52]American Woman.
[15:53]But it really is just.
[15:55]It's like Gonzo's arm and he's holding the microphone.
[15:56]I'm telling you, if you watch that video of Lenny Kravitz with his pants split open, it
[16:00]looks like Gonzo.
[16:01]It looks like he's giving birth to Gonzo.
[16:03]It really does.
[16:04]It's it's unbelievable.
[16:08]You know why he's a rock star.
[16:11]Yeah, I'm excited.
[16:12]I think that's gonna be fun.
[16:13]Russell in May, right at the end of the school year when we all have the summers off.
[16:16]This is gonna be great.
[16:17]Oh, yeah.
[16:18]What a life we all lead.
[16:19]This is gonna be absolutely awesome.
[16:22]Yeah.
[16:25]Well, that didn't go anywhere.
[16:26]That conversation.
[16:26]You know what?
[16:27]Maybe the backward show is better.
[16:28]Maybe the backward show is the way to go.
[16:31]I don't think so.
[16:32]I mean, you did say giving birth to Gonzo.
[16:35]Like, so we've at least got that on wax.
[16:38]That's true.
[16:39]And I was trying to think of another Lenny Kravitz song beside American Woman.
[16:41]But hey, cab driver, that's a deep cut.
[16:44]That is a deep cut.
[16:45]That's a good one.
[16:46]I listen.
[16:46]Why am I, why am I trying to push this bit?
[16:48]No.
[16:49]Well, you do hear a play in the background.
[16:51]Thank you so much.
[16:51]Let's get into Roland Gowen.
[16:54]I do like that.
[16:55]Our listeners know me as like the Muppets guy.
[16:57]Like, that's my new thing.
[16:58]That's a good calling card.
[16:59]Hey, what do you know each of us as?
[17:05]Text in the Bex line.
[17:06]Just with like a sentence for each of us.
[17:08]What are we?
[17:09]Okay.
[17:10]What would, what would be your guesses?
[17:11]If you had to guess for everyone, Rob, what do you think the, what do you think they would
[17:14]know Aaron as?
[17:15]Oh, Aaron is the, Aaron is the, he's a food guy, right?
[17:19]Like that's gotta be what it is.
[17:20]I'd say unique food, free spirit.
[17:22]Russell, I got to clue you in.
[17:24]We're on a wordle.
[17:25]Text chain that you're not on.
[17:26]Hey, it's kind of a smart guy.
[17:27]Kind of a genius text chain.
[17:28]Okay.
[17:29]A lot of Albert Einstein stuff going on over there.
[17:31]I got one of the most delicious texts from that text chain.
[17:35]When Aaron's wife said, here's a typical delivery for Aaron.
[17:39]What was it?
[17:40]It was a canned oysters, oysters, Japanese crackers, Japanese, a knife.
[17:46]Was it a Japanese knife in there?
[17:47]It's a honing rod.
[17:49]Yeah.
[17:49]So it's like a ceramic.
[17:51]I told you not to use the term honing rod.
[17:54]Be around ever again.
[17:56]Yeah.
[17:56]And a zester.
[17:59]A microplane.
[18:00]A zester.
[18:00]Yeah.
[18:01]Yeah.
[18:01]So I bought from this cutlery shop.
[18:04]Blue Mussels.
[18:04]Bernal.
[18:05]And they have a nice tinned fish collection.
[18:07]So I had to get some mussels and oysters in addition to my honing rod and my microplane
[18:12]grater.
[18:13]Now listen, listen, I know what a honing rod is for.
[18:16]I'm on some dumb hick.
[18:17]Okay.
[18:17]But explain to all these other guys, what exactly is a honing rod and who or what will
[18:22]you use this on?
[18:23]It's just a way to keep your knives sharp.
[18:24]And when I, I, when I had my knife sharpened most recently, because I have tried to sharpen
[18:28]my own knives and that turned out to be not a good idea.
[18:30]So I most recently had my knife sharpened and the guy was like, Hey, you really can
[18:34]just, all you need is a honing steel.
[18:35]I would say.
[18:36]And the other thing is like, I think they're typically called a honing steel, but this
[18:39]one's ceramic.
[18:39]So I call it a honing rod.
[18:41]And, um, it's just a way to keep your knives because, uh, straightening and sharpening
[18:46]are two different things.
[18:47]Like as soon as you started this conversation, could you see, just see this guy be like,
[18:51]Oh no, it's one of these guys.
[18:52]Hey, what do you use?
[18:54]Uh, hello?
[18:55]Hello?
[18:55]Because straightening is, is like aligning the molecules.
[19:01]So they're straight and sharpening is actually taking molecules off to smooth out and make
[19:06]sure that it gets sharp.
[19:08]So you straighten your knives between uses.
[19:10]You don't have to sharpen them as often, at least according to edge of the bay sharpening
[19:13]who helped me out.
[19:15]What does it cost?
[19:15]What does it cost to get knives sharpened?
[19:17]If I, if my knives were dull, I would just go buy new knives.
[19:20]How much does it cost to sharpen?
[19:21]This guy was amazing.
[19:22]He charged me like 50 bucks.
[19:23]He, he came to my house.
[19:24]He came to my house, picked up my knives, took them away, brought them back in like two
[19:28]hours.
[19:28]They were sharp and it cost me like 50 bucks.
[19:30]Now, let me tell you, did you read about this honing in a journal somewhere or did you read
[19:34]about it at the store where they were selling you this quote unquote honing rod?
[19:38]No, uh, no.
[19:39]The, the, the, the knife sharpener who was not affiliated with the cutlery store told
[19:43]me about the honing rod.
[19:44]He was like working himself out of a job.
[19:46]He was like, Hey, you don't have to call me.
[19:47]You can hone your knives instead.
[19:48]This story involves two different things.
[19:51]The knife sharpener and the knife store.
[19:53]Yes.
[19:54]Yes.
[19:54]They're not related.
[19:55]You talked to multiple knife professionals.
[19:57]Yeah.
[19:58]I've been to a knife sharpening class also.
[20:00]And that's where I got my, that's where I got my whetstones, but I'm not very good at
[20:05]the whetstones.
[20:05]So now I just have professionals do it.
[20:07]Oh, I heard them sing in college.
[20:09]I thought it was good.
[20:09]That's such a niche joke.
[20:14]I like cream of wheat in a malt male town.
[20:21]It takes one small step to break a hole.
[20:24]I like cream of wheat.
[20:27]Hey everybody, we're the limestones.
[20:28]And now we're going to get our clothes real wet.
[20:29]Cause that's our key.
[20:31]Oh, the limestones have gotten really weird since Rob joined.
[20:38]Guys, let's do a song about our kinks.
[20:40]Feet, feet, feet, feet, feet.
[20:42]And soon I'm going to graduate and this is what we'll do.
[20:54]Russell's been to more than one limestones concert in his life.
[20:58]I've sat in the front row.
[20:59]It's the only time I went to that church.
[21:01]Any of the limestones, Rose, you might know this.
[21:03]Does any of the limestones like done anything post college?
[21:07]Like any of them gone on to any sort of success?
[21:10]Yeah.
[21:10]I didn't see him at this year's Grammys for acapella girls.
[21:13]Against the Manhattan transfer.
[21:17]I'm not sure.
[21:19]I don't know of anyone who's went on to do much.
[21:23]But I didn't either.
[21:27]So what can I say?
[21:28]Did you just take a fucking drink in the middle of your goddamn sentence on the podcast?
[21:31]Are you serious right now?
[21:33]That's coming from Rob.
[21:34]Rob, you were eating, you were eating food last time.
[21:36]You're eating bananas.
[21:38]That was because the bananas was a medical thing.
[21:43]Okay.
[21:44]But Aaron was literally, I can edit that out.
[21:46]But Aaron was talking and then he goes, right in the middle.
[21:48]Rob, we should pull up the malt meal song.
[21:50]A lot of people might not even know what we're talking about.
[21:52]The live stream.
[21:53]You think?
[21:54]So the limestones here, it's the acapella group that sang at St.
[21:58]Olaf and it would go from year to year, right?
[22:00]Like they would have 10 guys in the group and the seniors would graduate.
[22:03]They'd bring in like three new people.
[22:05]Is that right?
[22:05]Oh my God.
[22:06]This is on that.
[22:08]We got to play the whole thing.
[22:09]We got to play this on that Garrison Keillor show.
[22:11]And now this is from 2015.
[22:14]So these are not guys we've known.
[22:15]And I'll tell you what, 2015 is well past the date where Garrison Keillor goes,
[22:19]you know what would make Prairie Home Companion better?
[22:21]If I fucking sang about three to four times.
[22:23]Three times an episode.
[22:24]That's what everybody wants to hear.
[22:25]Garrison's like, guess what?
[22:27]I'm fucking singing now.
[22:28]And everybody's like, Jesus Christ, we can't do anything.
[22:29]This guy has all the power.
[22:30]Garrison Keillor made our list once before.
[22:33]Do you guys remember?
[22:33]I believe it was some sort of instrument.
[22:35]Garrison Keillor show.
[22:37]Yes, it was.
[22:38]It was a slide guitar or something like that.
[22:39]Yes, or was it the whistler?
[22:40]Because, you know, I saw Garrison Keillor at St. Olaf once.
[22:43]And they had a world-class whistler on.
[22:46]And I've never felt so disappointed in my life.
[22:48]I was like, the guy was up there going like.
[22:50]And what you realize?
[22:53]With whistling is like, wow, that guy's really good at whistling.
[22:55]And then about 30 seconds later, you're like, god damn it.
[22:57]I hate when people whistle.
[22:58]Boy, this sounds just, this is grating on my brain.
[23:00]I do not like this at all.
[23:02]So this is the singing group that would sing at St. Olaf every year.
[23:06]And the famous song was Malt-O-Meal because Northfield has the Malt-O-Meal factory, right?
[23:11]Yes, correct.
[23:12]Just in case you didn't grow up in the Midwest or if you were rich, Malt-O-Meal.
[23:23]Malt-O-Meal is the kind of cereal that basically copies every other cereal.
[23:26]A knockoff.
[23:28]They're not Froot Loops.
[23:30]They got like Fruity O's.
[23:31]Hey, you know what?
[23:34]Their Captain Crunch, the knockoff, the kangaroos or whatever, slaps.
[23:38]It does slap.
[23:39]It's really good.
[23:40]I don't know how you guys drink away my blues.
[23:44]And the very next way I woke up, Spoochy and Oly Avenue.
[23:47]They were like, cream of weed in a Malt-O-Meal town.
[23:51]What, what, what?
[23:52]I could have easily.
[23:53]Oh, my God.
[23:55]You could have.
[23:55]I think we should just have Russell sing the entire episode.
[23:57]I mean, we can pull up the lyrics and we could sing our version of it at the end.
[24:01]Yeah, we could do that.
[24:03]Or, you know.
[24:04]Oh, yeah.
[24:05]Or we could just go to Rolling Going.
[24:07]Rolling Going.
[24:08]How's it going, someone?
[24:09]Oh, it's Rolling Going.
[24:11]Does anybody got a good one this week?
[24:13]I got a good one.
[24:14]Listen, I just got one thing to say about Malt-O-Meal.
[24:16]Even my kids, when they were like three, as soon as they saw cereal in a plastic bag,
[24:20]they're like, uh-uh, uh-uh.
[24:21]They're like, uh-uh, uh-uh.
[24:23]We are not doing this shit.
[24:24]Our cereal comes out of boxes.
[24:25]It comes in a bag in a box.
[24:28]It comes in a plastic bag in a box.
[24:29]Yeah, it's not just a plastic bag.
[24:31]No, my kids, when the cereal was out of the box, they knew I was trying to pull a scam on them.
[24:38]They're like, hmm, these do taste good, but I don't get it.
[24:40]Russell, Rolling Going, how's it going with you?
[24:42]Guys, I think I do need to go to the advice corner.
[24:45]I had something happen the last week that I definitely need to run by you guys on how you would handle something.
[24:50]Can't wait.
[24:52]Did you try lying to her?
[24:54]That's my advice.
[24:55]I will just say it may involve a false police report.
[24:59]I'm going to give you a heads up.
[25:01]There's a false police report involved.
[25:02]Well, I hope it has two different knife-related things because that's the tone that Aaron said already.
[25:09]All right, so I guess the premise of my question, I kind of want to hear what you guys think about this,
[25:13]and then I'm going to tell you a story.
[25:15]When you're dealing with your wife or someone that you know well and you think they may be wrong about something,
[25:22]do you always just give them the benefit of the doubt and listen?
[25:25]Do you kind of like probe with questions, trying to get to the bottom of what's going on and think there may be two sides of it?
[25:31]Or do you always just listen to what they say and empathize?
[25:33]What's your style when you think the person you're having a conversation with could potentially be wrong about something they're telling you?
[25:40]This is such a loaded question.
[25:43]I don't think, you know, by the way you're asking this question, Russell, I don't think you need our advice.
[25:50]I think you already know.
[25:52]It seems like listening longer before you speak is probably where you should have erred.
[25:58]And guys, follow up.
[26:00]Do you think this is a big penis?
[26:01]Just think about this, Russell.
[26:07]Do you ever like to be corrected?
[26:08]No, but I definitely do a lot of correcting.
[26:11]You see this?
[26:12]That is the problem.
[26:16]You know that nobody likes being corrected, but not you.
[26:20]It's different for other people.
[26:21]They like it when you correct them.
[26:22]But that's true.
[26:23]I'm the older sibling.
[26:24]If someone's not an older sibling, they like to be bossed around like that, right?
[26:27]That's right.
[26:28]Exactly.
[26:28]Oh, wow.
[26:29]I'm getting into some family psychoanalysis.
[26:34]Well, maybe I can tell you guys my story and then we'll see if you guys would have done anything different or see how it relates to some things in your life.
[26:42]Does that work for you guys?
[26:43]Yeah, I'd like to get the details.
[26:44]Yeah, of course we want to hear the story.
[26:46]So the other day I'm sitting at home.
[26:49]This is probably about a week ago and I get a text.
[26:52]It's from a car aficionado, if you will.
[26:54]The text also says is my car has been stolen.
[26:57]I get a text from someone saying their car has been stolen.
[27:00]I was like, well, yeah, yeah, yeah.
[27:02]But so when you see that, how do you respond?
[27:05]Because I don't like, do I say, where was it?
[27:07]Do I start asking questions?
[27:09]Do I just say, I'm sorry to hear that?
[27:10]What do you do?
[27:11]So my response is just, huh?
[27:13]Like with a question mark, like I'm looking for this person to elaborate.
[27:17]So I don't take it down the wrong path.
[27:19]I mean, it might occur to me to say, do you need a ride?
[27:22]That might be a thing I would say.
[27:23]I'm just going to say right now.
[27:25]I'm just going to say right there.
[27:26]Every time you make a mistake, I'm going to hit that ding.
[27:28]Cause I'm going to say right there.
[27:29]There is nothing that could be more clear than my car was stolen.
[27:35]Okay.
[27:36]Well, so Rob, I'm there to listen.
[27:38]You know, I try to listen and everything and empathize.
[27:41]And so this, this car aficionado gives me a call.
[27:44]They say, you know, their car is gone.
[27:46]They were out.
[27:47]They were out somewhere earlier in the day.
[27:49]They went home, parked their car in their building and their parking lot.
[27:52]In the building, went upstairs, did some stuff.
[27:54]And then they realized they forgot something.
[27:56]They had to run back down.
[27:57]They walked back down.
[27:58]Car's not there.
[27:59]And so the person's, so my immediate reaction is just being like, oh, you know, sorry to hear that.
[28:06]You know, what can I do to help you?
[28:07]And then we start kind of just going through.
[28:09]I can't help myself.
[28:10]I have to ask.
[28:11]You have to ask if they parked it in a different spot than they think.
[28:14]I have to, I have to ask.
[28:16]Like, I mean, what are you supposed to, you have to ask, right?
[28:19]Or should you not even ask?
[28:20]If they parked it.
[28:22]If they parked it somewhere else than they normally would have.
[28:23]But is this all over text?
[28:24]This is in a phone call.
[28:26]Now, now we're talking on there.
[28:27]I'm talking with the car official now.
[28:29]I don't know, man.
[28:30]I don't know about the car.
[28:31]I feel like that's fine.
[28:32]You can just say, you know, I'm sure, I'm sure this is the case, but I do just have to ask.
[28:36]It's just like, it's just like, you're just doing like the, the IT guy.
[28:39]Retrace your steps, right?
[28:40]I got to run through my checklist.
[28:41]Like, just like anybody else would like totally dispatched.
[28:44]Have you tried restarting your computer today?
[28:47]Right.
[28:47]Exactly.
[28:48]And then going from there.
[28:49]I think the problem is it came out of Russell's mouth.
[28:52]Like, ah, you probably parked in the wrong place.
[28:53]I did kind of say, and that the thing is, this person lives in an apartment building.
[28:59]They have an underground parking garage.
[29:01]And they also, when I go over to this area, I usually park on the street.
[29:05]So there's a lot of places to park on the street over there.
[29:07]And so, and so I was just making sure, Hey, do you ever park there overnight?
[29:12]Like, do you leave your car there overnight on the street?
[29:14]Oh, well, we'll just say a car aficionado doesn't always get me a 24 hour pass.
[29:18]We'll just leave it like that.
[29:19]Just saying it would be nice.
[29:21]If they did, they get a couple of those passes a week.
[29:24]And I don't even spend 17 hours.
[29:26]Time to bounce.
[29:28]Russell shows up with a bag of McRibs.
[29:31]What are those for?
[29:32]Oh, nothing.
[29:32]Just something.
[29:34]Never mind.
[29:35]Forget about it.
[29:36]So this, I kind of, you know, I, I, I paused myself before I even said, well, did you sure you didn't park it anywhere else?
[29:43]But then I said, well, you know, are you sure you didn't park it?
[29:46]They were adamant with me and I could tell borderline annoyed that I would even propose that they may have.
[29:51]It's somewhere else, right?
[29:52]So at this point, I just, I'm like, okay, I just got to sit back.
[29:56]Don't do my due diligence thing and start probing with questions.
[29:59]I just got to be supportive, right?
[30:01]So yeah, there's telling me, well, security's coming over.
[30:04]I'm going to call the police, do a police report.
[30:06]I'll call you back in a little bit.
[30:07]So like, okay, there's nothing for me to do at this point.
[30:11]I haven't been asked to come over and help.
[30:12]There's nothing for me to do.
[30:13]So I get a call a little bit later and they say, hey, security came over.
[30:17]We walked through the building.
[30:19]I was clicking my, my thing over and over.
[30:21]There was no beep.
[30:23]They didn't hear the beep.
[30:24]They didn't see the car.
[30:24]And I was like, part of me wants to ask, well, I believe a few weeks ago, your key fob was dead.
[30:31]So it probably wouldn't have worked a few weeks ago.
[30:33]Don't say that.
[30:35]And I didn't say that, Rob.
[30:36]I just, I just thought that, but I didn't say it.
[30:38]That's good.
[30:38]That's good.
[30:39]Yeah, that's good.
[30:40]Okay.
[30:40]I may have said it.
[30:41]I don't remember.
[30:42]I knew you said it.
[30:43]You dirty dime.
[30:44]You can't help yourself.
[30:45]He's heating up.
[30:48]The car commission auto tells me they went through, went through the parking.
[30:51]Lot with the security person that they're building.
[30:54]They couldn't find it.
[30:55]Now, Russell, can I just ask you really quickly with, with, with a fob that was dead a few
[31:00]weeks ago, Matt, I'm sorry.
[31:01]If she had asked you, can you please come over and walk through the building with me
[31:07]and security and try to help me find this car?
[31:10]What would you have said?
[31:11]Because I would have said, I would have done it.
[31:13]I would have done it.
[31:14]Oh, no problem.
[31:15]Wow.
[31:16]I mean, in my head, I would have thought really what another person walking through isn't
[31:19]going to make a difference, but I would have done it.
[31:21]I never, but to be clear, this person's fob may have not been dead before, but their car
[31:26]was dead.
[31:26]The battery was dead.
[31:27]So the stuff wasn't working, but just to make sure I'm right on that, you know, hit the
[31:34]digger, Rob or not.
[31:35]No, I know.
[31:36]That's fine.
[31:36]So what you're saying is details matter.
[31:38]Details matter.
[31:39]Yes.
[31:40]I feel like I'm going to be called in for a witness at some point here.
[31:42]This feels like this is going on the record.
[31:43]So I'm talking with the car aficionado and, and they're, they're saying, well, they, they
[31:49]called the police.
[31:50]The police are coming over.
[31:51]They went through the.
[31:51]They went through the parking lot.
[31:52]They're going to, the head of security at the building is going to come over.
[31:55]They're going to do all the reporting stuff.
[31:57]She'll be able to look at the, at the tape from the building in the morning and everything.
[32:01]And, and so, you know, immediately I'm like, well, hopefully, you know, you didn't leave
[32:05]a wallet in there.
[32:05]You know, if you lost, there's nothing you can do about it at this point, right?
[32:09]You got insurance.
[32:09]It takes care of that.
[32:10]I'm trying to, to be positive.
[32:12]I don't know what the right.
[32:13]Yeah.
[32:14]Trying to listen and be supportive.
[32:15]Now there is a chance because it has happened before where somebody has gotten their car
[32:19]stolen and in the back they had updated it.
[32:21]Two to three bags of trash that they were going to take out later and never got around
[32:25]to it.
[32:25]Two, three.
[32:26]What, what CD was it?
[32:28]Oh, I had so many.
[32:30]The JB's right.
[32:32]I mean, I got a whole, you've seen the whole list, a bowling ball that had a grenade in
[32:34]it.
[32:35]I mean, when this guy stole my car, he was probably like, what the fuck?
[32:38]What is going on?
[32:40]This guy's, I'm going to return this.
[32:42]I feel bad for this guy.
[32:43]So this person, they've, they've, they've made their call into the police station.
[32:47]They've walked through the parking ramp once in it and they're like, okay, I'm going to
[32:51]she had another call to make to the security.
[32:53]I remember the car aficionado calls me back again and this person's telling me about their
[32:59]day where they were at beforehand.
[33:00]We're kind of now walking together, retracing steps, if you will.
[33:04]We, it took us a little bit there.
[33:06]We're kind of going through it.
[33:07]And this person says, well, I went and ran these errands here and I drove home and I
[33:10]went to the grocery store right across the street and then I went home and upstairs came
[33:14]back down and I say, did you park at the grocery store?
[33:17]Did you and walk home?
[33:18]And all of a sudden the phone on the other end.
[33:21]Just goes completely silent.
[33:23]Person says, you know what?
[33:26]I did park over at the grocery store, but I'm not sure if I walked home or not.
[33:30]Yes, that's what I'm talking about.
[33:35]So I'm like, you know what you ought to do is why don't you just walk over to the grocery
[33:40]store?
[33:40]Cause it's right across the street.
[33:41]I could easily see how someone would park there and then grab a bag and walk home.
[33:45]Cause I think this person walks back and forth that grocery store a lot, right?
[33:50]Yeah.
[33:50]Makes sense.
[33:50]Yeah.
[33:51]You just do it on a half.
[33:51]And so it's late.
[33:53]You know, I mean, I guess I could have said, Hey, I'll come over and walk over there with
[33:56]you.
[33:57]It's kind of late.
[33:57]It's dark.
[33:58]But I said, why don't you keep your phone on, keep and just walk over there.
[34:01]Keep me on the line while you walk over there.
[34:02]So this person walks over there.
[34:04]Chivalry is dead.
[34:05]Yeah.
[34:05]Yeah.
[34:06]Keep the phone up and I'll listen from here.
[34:08]Yeah.
[34:09]And I, this person starts walking over there and they're saying, Oh, I'm crossing the street
[34:14]now.
[34:14]And all of a sudden I hear a horn honk a couple of times.
[34:16]Oh no.
[34:17]T-Fob is there.
[34:18]So the car was parked in.
[34:21]Yeah.
[34:21]The grocery store parking lot.
[34:23]And sometimes someone just asking a few more questions actually helped the day.
[34:28]It feels like you were a hero here, Russell, just by asking some questions.
[34:31]And so the person, this person eventually, you know, was saying, I feel so embarrassed
[34:41]now.
[34:41]I've got to call the police back.
[34:42]I got to call my security back and everything like, well, being embarrassed is a lot better
[34:46]than not having your car.
[34:47]So I think it's okay.
[34:48]Right.
[34:51]Yeah.
[34:51]This video is autoplay.
[34:52]There's nothing I can do to help it.
[34:54]So this person did technically file a fake police report.
[34:59]And I think they also tried to text their family members while they were having like
[35:03]the vacation of their lifetime overseas.
[35:05]I'm not sure what country they may have been at that time, but, but so I was curious, like,
[35:11]does that ever happen to you guys where maybe someone, you know, has misplaced something
[35:16]and you have a very good feeling that maybe it's not misplaced and you just let them go.
[35:21]Or do you say anything or what do you do?
[35:23]Russell, when, when, when Jenny says to me, I've lost this or I can't get this to work.
[35:29]I don't even move for 30 seconds because I know what's going to happen.
[35:32]As soon as I get up, as soon as I start looking, she will find whatever she's looking for.
[35:37]The moment I am done, I'm like, okay, I'll close the game.
[35:40]I'll put it away.
[35:41]I'm going to just, I'm going to help you out.
[35:43]She immediately finds it and often we'll find it and then just not tell me that she's found
[35:46]it.
[35:47]So now I am continuing to look for something around the house that she has lost and then
[35:50]found.
[35:51]I don't know.
[35:51]I don't, I, I can't think of an example where from my life, but I can relate to your car
[35:58]fishing out of Russell.
[35:58]I can, I can say I've done something similar when I was in grad school at the university
[36:02]of Minnesota.
[36:03]I recall one day driving to class and in the morning and then taking the bus home because
[36:10]I forgot that my car was at you.
[36:14]So I've been there.
[36:15]I get it.
[36:15]That's such a good bet.
[36:17]I number the number of times I came out from work and my car was still running.
[36:21]And I'm like, whoops, whoops.
[36:24]That's on me.
[36:25]That's my bad.
[36:26]How about you, Matt?
[36:28]You're a very logic based guy.
[36:29]I can see you having a hard time biting your tongue over something like that.
[36:33]Yeah.
[36:34]You know, and it happens often more with the kids than anything.
[36:36]It's like, where's my gloves?
[36:38]I don't know.
[36:39]Where'd you leave them?
[36:40]I don't know.
[36:40]Well, they're probably in the basket, you know, where your gloves are supposed to be.
[36:43]Nope.
[36:43]I look, you go over.
[36:45]Yeah.
[36:45]Sure enough.
[36:46]Lift up one hat.
[36:47]They're the gloves.
[36:48]Right.
[36:48]So my line, Sarah always says, you know, I don't know.
[36:51]She, she hates when I don't say my lines that I always say in real life, you know, on the
[36:57]pod.
[36:57]She listens.
[36:58]I don't, I don't catch these things, you know, but so I always tell, and now Sarah is ready
[37:03]to punch me in the face half the time.
[37:04]And I said, well, you know, it's always the last place you look, right?
[37:07]So you should have told this car to fish, you know, it's always the last place you look.
[37:15]So, you know, good work.
[37:16]Good job.
[37:17]So, Hey, I can't find my car.
[37:18]Is it in the bin under the hat?
[37:20]No.
[37:21]Did you check the grocery store over here, but it might be just somebody honking at the
[37:30]grocery store.
[37:31]Rolling, go on here.
[37:31]And how's it going with you?
[37:32]Russell, I would say you end up being the true hero of that story because you were supportive
[37:36]and you did, and you did not move from your couch.
[37:39]So I did not move.
[37:40]I wasn't going to move.
[37:41]You're not telling anybody about it.
[37:43]Right.
[37:43]Or like talking about it.
[37:44]So like, you know, that's the thing.
[37:46]Like you just shiver, like, like Rosie said, you're with us friends here.
[37:50]It's not like it's out in the world for us.
[37:51]Everybody else, you know, so yeah, but you did the right thing.
[37:55]Hey, man, it could be any car aficionado that I know.
[37:58]Oh, Russell, you dog.
[38:02]I love that.
[38:02]Yeah.
[38:05]Roll it.
[38:06]Go on.
[38:06]How's it going with you?
[38:07]Which, which, which one of these phones is ringing, man?
[38:09]It's going, I got two phones.
[38:12]It's going great for me.
[38:13]I, so I'm, I'm, I probably have a couple of things to talk about, but number one, first
[38:17]of all, um, number one, most important thing for me to talk about tonight is.
[38:21]It's been a while since we talked, but I had the good fortune, the honor, the privilege
[38:27]to host Matt and his family at my home.
[38:29]Oh yeah.
[38:30]And it was, I just have to say thank you because they had a huge day of sightseeing and getting
[38:36]around and they made the trip over to Oakland to come see us.
[38:40]I was so happy.
[38:41]Also known as Coakland.
[38:42]Or Smokeland.
[38:44]Yeah.
[38:44]And, uh, it was great.
[38:47]It was just, it was so cool of them to come out, like come a bit out of their way to come
[38:50]see us.
[38:50]And my son, my son, my son, my son, my son.
[38:51]We had a dance party.
[38:52]We had a dance party in your living room.
[38:54]Totally.
[38:54]I can still, like, I can vividly picture in my mind's eye looking into my backyard and
[39:00]Matt's kids are out there playing with my son.
[39:02]It was super cool.
[39:03]So big ups.
[39:04]Thanks, Matt.
[39:04]Did you play any music while Matt was there?
[39:06]Did you play records or did you stress about what records you were going to play her in?
[39:09]No, you know what?
[39:10]We played, we played mostly Louis Armstrong while they were here.
[39:14]And then it was like getting late in the kids night.
[39:17]And I was like, oh, I didn't even show Matt my turntable.
[39:19]So we got a couple of records in, didn't we, Matt?
[39:21]Yep.
[39:21]Yep.
[39:22]And Eddie had the chance to put a couple on.
[39:24]And then we finally got to the, much like, yeah, we finally got to the one that we were
[39:28]wanting to listen to, you know, because the kids got involved and we had to listen to
[39:31]16 other records before getting to it.
[39:33]So we had some peanuts Christmas that we had to go on.
[39:38]How do you not?
[39:39]Matt, what did you do with the figs he gave you?
[39:41]Well, we brought them home.
[39:45]We checked them, right?
[39:46]Or we brought them on the plane and put them up in the, and then you know what?
[39:49]I forgot.
[39:50]I forgot.
[39:51]I forgot them.
[39:52]I tried to get back on the plane.
[39:54]They wouldn't let me back on the plane, but I forgot them.
[39:56]So have you checked that parking lot across the street?
[39:58]Cause you never, oh, wait, man, can you just tell me, I know, I know, I know you're a nice
[40:06]guy, but what was the weirdest fucking thing that you saw at Aaron's house?
[40:10]Like, what did you see?
[40:10]And you were like, oh, I got to tell Rob about this.
[40:12]No, I don't think the weirdest thing, but the one thing I think the listeners like knows
[40:15]that Aaron is he, he runs the cat house for the neighborhood.
[40:19]He's got like three cats that come and go.
[40:21]You know, in and out and they're all very nice cats and stuff like that.
[40:25]But yeah, Aaron bleeding heart.
[40:28]What did the lady, she moved, she go to a nursing home, somebody across the street or
[40:33]she's dead.
[40:33]She's dead.
[40:34]She is dead.
[40:35]She went into this living and then she died.
[40:38]No, it's true.
[40:39]She is dead.
[40:40]A cat ate her throat while she was sleeping.
[40:42]Yeah.
[40:42]Yeah.
[40:43]This cat lady here is dead.
[40:45]So there was nothing.
[40:48]Aaron's house was totally normal.
[40:49]There was nothing.
[40:50]Come on.
[40:50]Totally normal.
[40:51]Great.
[40:51]Great house.
[40:51]Great neighborhood.
[40:52]I mean,
[40:53]could you see the whole way or was there too many shirts hanging up or like, I mean, I
[40:57]got all these.
[40:58]I could see the whole way.
[40:58]I did not.
[40:59]I did, but this is, that's the old bed.
[41:02]That's the old bedroom, right?
[41:03]This.
[41:03]Yeah.
[41:03]This one.
[41:04]No, we don't have to hang clothes in this bedroom.
[41:05]Now we have much more space in this house.
[41:07]Yeah.
[41:08]So we get to close.
[41:09]I did not make it to Aaron's bedroom.
[41:11]I did not make it down.
[41:12]I know we didn't even give you the full tour.
[41:14]It was such a whirlwind, but I feel so blessed that you guys came on.
[41:17]I forget.
[41:17]Did you, do you have a basement at that house?
[41:19]No, we have a crawl space.
[41:21]It's like a garage under the house and then a crawl space.
[41:24]Oh, gotcha.
[41:25]Okay.
[41:25]So who, who, who was like the awkward, like, did Matt want to leave early?
[41:29]Did Aaron want you to stay late?
[41:30]Did Matt stay too late and impose or how did the exit go?
[41:34]Cause Matt's an Irish exit guy, but it's hard to do that with a family and kids.
[41:37]It feels like, well, the kid, you know, the kids end up getting a little tired and it's
[41:42]just time to go anyways that, you know, so there's that, you know, it felt like Rosie
[41:45]and I talk all the time and then we talk and text more than people know about random things
[41:49]as well.
[41:50]I gather.
[41:51]Sarah and Rosie's wife at gmail.com have been on the, the Wordle text chain for a long
[41:59]time.
[41:59]We're at, we're at a six, six, six today.
[42:02]I don't know if you guys noticed that.
[42:02]I saw that.
[42:03]Six, six, six.
[42:04]Wordle six, six, six.
[42:05]Wordle number six, six, six.
[42:06]Perfect for Mike Saban.
[42:07]Perfect.
[42:08]We've been on the text chain so long and those two had never met before.
[42:12]Yeah.
[42:13]So those two ended up, you know, they were thick as thieves back there drinking the wine
[42:17]in the, in the kitchen while Rosie and I had to babysit our kids.
[42:21]So it's gotta be, it's gotta be nice to meet Aaron's wife.
[42:23]I've never gotten the chance to do that in person.
[42:25]I'm pretty sure if I haven't.
[42:28]You didn't go to that wedding, did you Rob?
[42:29]Did you?
[42:29]No, I wasn't invited to that wedding.
[42:31]We were invited to that one.
[42:32]No, it's not a big deal.
[42:33]I don't know.
[42:33]I think, I mean, Matt's, Matt's being kind.
[42:35]I think we hit it pretty perfect.
[42:36]I think we nailed the goodbyes.
[42:37]I don't think, I think it was a perfect amount.
[42:39]There's one question that I got a text from Russell here on our text chain and it says,
[42:43]please ask whose kids, whose kid behaved the worst.
[42:46]So which kid behaved the worst out of the whole group?
[42:48]America wants to know.
[42:50]Leo.
[42:51]It had to be Leo.
[42:52]You think so?
[42:53]Well, probably.
[42:54]He's just, he's the bigger kid.
[42:56]Wallace was like, hey, watch this fun game I played.
[42:59]He started whipping rocks at Aaron and then Leo's whipping rocks at Aaron too.
[43:01]Wallace was pretty decent when they were here.
[43:04]He didn't, he didn't hit me or anything, but he still, he was talking about Leo and Eddie
[43:07]just yesterday.
[43:08]Well, that's good.
[43:10]One thing, one thing about leaving, I'll let you, then I'll let you continue is that Rosie
[43:14]did leave me with a few edibles for the road just in case.
[43:18]Oh yeah.
[43:18]Try to be a good host.
[43:19]Dad looking out for dad.
[43:21]The first one, I don't remember.
[43:25]I think I don't know if it's a good for bed or something like that, but didn't really
[43:28]hit me.
[43:29]The second one, I waited till an hour and a half before the flight was supposed to take
[43:33]off.
[43:33]Oh boy.
[43:34]That's early.
[43:35]That was a little, little early.
[43:38]All of a sudden I'm walking down, we're getting on the plane, I'm walking down and I had,
[43:45]I had been with, usually there's, you know, we're in like the rows of three or whatever.
[43:48]Right.
[43:48]And so I had been sitting.
[43:51]With the boys on the way out for the last couple of flights and they finally decided
[43:54]they wanted to sit with mom once.
[43:56]So Sarah was with the boys.
[43:58]I got my own seat across the aisle, kind of a thing.
[44:01]And I, I, it was, it was a little fortuitous.
[44:04]You needed it.
[44:05]I needed it.
[44:06]Those tens, those tens will hit you.
[44:08]Yeah.
[44:09]Yeah.
[44:09]Oh boy.
[44:10]When Aaron gave you those things, Matt, did he do it like a dad, like giving his son 20
[44:14]bucks to take a lady out?
[44:16]Like you'd come up and like shake your hand and give you a hug.
[44:18]And then in the hand, there was some treats.
[44:21]Don't tell your mother.
[44:21]Yeah, exactly.
[44:22]Yeah.
[44:24]This one will help get you rock hard.
[44:25]You know, it's different in different households too.
[44:30]You don't know.
[44:31]I think that's pretty good.
[44:33]That's enough out of me.
[44:33]How's it rolling going with Matt?
[44:34]This will give you an HRE.
[44:36]Pretty, pretty good.
[44:42]So I did have on my list that I needed to say thanks to Rosie and rosieswife at gmail.com
[44:47]for hosting us.
[44:48]So we've got that.
[44:50]Rob, you can get it.
[44:50]Are you going to invite to go hang out with them this summer or not?
[44:53]No, I must've missed that.
[44:54]It's got lost in the mail or something.
[44:57]I must've missed that, but I'll tell you what, if I do go over to Aaron's, I'm going to over
[45:00]every inch of that place.
[45:02]I'm going to be like a crime scene.
[45:03]I'll be taking photographs.
[45:04]I'm in the crawl space.
[45:06]I'm asking you to see the lightsaber.
[45:08]Like I want, I want the whole up and down tour, everything.
[45:11]Come on out.
[45:12]Come see us.
[45:12]I saw a band last night called paper airplane and one of our loyal listeners, Sarah, her
[45:18]brother is the lead singer.
[45:20]They're for paper airplane.
[45:21]They're a cover band and they are awesome.
[45:24]They play like late nineties, early two thousands, like alternative pop music.
[45:29]Um, you know, like France for Dan played MIA paper airplanes, things like that.
[45:35]And so it was, it was awesome.
[45:39]They're a great cover band.
[45:40]So your favorite, favorite, favorite tune they played.
[45:42]What was it?
[45:43]Um, little thing.
[45:45]What is that?
[45:46]I believe in a thing called love.
[45:47]Oh, the darkness for real.
[45:49]Yeah.
[45:49]It's your son, man.
[45:50]And so Sarah's brother is quite, quite talented.
[45:53]He can hit those notes.
[45:54]Wow.
[45:55]A little Tom Petty, uh, American girl by Tom Petty, you know, like it was pretty good.
[46:00]They played paper airplanes by MIA.
[46:02]So where did they play at Matt?
[46:04]What?
[46:04]Glicks.
[46:05]They played a glick.
[46:06]Oh, great little spot.
[46:07]Good spot.
[46:08]Went downtown.
[46:09]Yeah.
[46:09]I went downtown last night.
[46:11]Downtown is not dead folks.
[46:12]It was hot.
[46:13]And Matt's not dead after going downtown.
[46:15]So I'm not dead.
[46:16]It's all fine.
[46:17]I'm trying to encourage the outstate folks.
[46:20]To not be afraid of Minneapolis.
[46:21]Well, don't mention being dead.
[46:24]That doesn't help, man.
[46:25]I said, he's not dead.
[46:26]Last person I know that lived in Minneapolis got their car stolen here.
[46:29]Allegedly.
[46:31]Uh, I was walking around downtown.
[46:35]I went, it was, it was like 85 degrees out.
[46:38]Right.
[46:38]And now today it's snowing.
[46:40]And so last week it was like Tuesday or Wednesday.
[46:43]I was walking around downtown.
[46:44]And one of the cool things about all the concert venues we have in downtown is that all of these bands show.
[46:50]So you always know there's a tour bus parked in the middle of downtown and you never know who's on it.
[46:56]But this one, I happened to see one and they were going into the Dakota right off of Nicollet.
[47:00]And I looked up and the name on the band, they got it on their wheel in the, all the gear in was asleep at the wheel.
[47:07]And I'm like, what the hell is asleep at the wheel?
[47:09]Like I remember this band from somewhere and then I had to go back and look.
[47:14]And so, and this is the song that I remember from sleep at the wheel.
[47:17]And I asked Rob to pull it up.
[47:20]Oh, the same dude.
[47:24]Have you ever heard this song?
[47:29]I don't know why we had this song in high school and absolutely loved it.
[47:33]And so apparently it was by a sleep at the wheel.
[47:35]Sleep at the wheel is this country band from the seventies.
[47:38]And they sing this song, big balls in cow town.
[47:41]And I thought it was the most hilarious song in the world when I was in high school.
[47:45]And I hear they're playing at the Dakota and I missed the show.
[47:47]Big balls in cow town.
[47:50]This is weird.
[47:50]Cause they have a second hit song.
[47:51]Let's listen to it right now.
[47:52]Soon we're gonna graduate.
[47:57]Work is almost through.
[48:01]That's so weird.
[48:03]I think the very next day I woke up smooching Noly Avenue.
[48:08]I like cream of wheat and a malt meal.
[48:11]I can't believe the clip I picked of the limestones was one of the most boring things I've ever heard in my entire life.
[48:15]That's not right.
[48:16]That's so crazy.
[48:17]Aaron, did you ever try out for the limestones?
[48:20]Or are they not your style of music?
[48:21]Uh, you know, I'm looking, I don't know.
[48:24]It's, it's one of a number of regrets.
[48:26]No, I don't know.
[48:26]I never tried out for limestones.
[48:27]And I mean, I got, I got, I got busted trying to pick on the limestones and I shouldn't
[48:34]have cause our, cause our friend's brother was in the limestones, but, um, no, like looking
[48:38]back, like, you know, Rob likes to say, you should say, you should say yes to stuff.
[48:42]Like I wish I had auditioned for the limestones.
[48:44]Why not?
[48:44]Right.
[48:45]They were fun.
[48:46]Rob, roll them going.
[48:49]How's it going with you?
[48:50]Uh, I'll tell you what I, the other day I bought, I shouldn't even tell you this story.
[48:54]This is so embarrassing, but I went after jujitsu and I got a Gatorade and a diet Mountain
[48:59]Dew.
[48:59]Okay.
[49:00]Dinner of champions, by the way, got to have the, Hey, you have to have those Gatorades.
[49:05]It's a physical requirement.
[49:06]You'd cramp up if not, you know, I'm sure the guy at the bodega sees me coming in all
[49:12]sweaty from time square.
[49:13]I'm like, he's like, wow, that guy loves peep shows.
[49:17]He's like, this guy is.
[49:19]This is the peep show game.
[49:20]I'm like, Oh my God.
[49:22]Oh, I'm sweating.
[49:24]My elbow hurts so bad.
[49:25]You ever had that thing where your elbow just hurts, my hands hurt from grabbing stuff too
[49:29]hard.
[49:30]Got cauliflower ear rope burn on my neck.
[49:33]Like what's this smell?
[49:34]Yeah.
[49:35]Oh boy.
[49:36]Yeah.
[49:37]I need to drink these.
[49:38]So at the checkout day, I just happened.
[49:40]This is the worst.
[49:41]I got to stop doing this, but I just, when I'm at the catch, I just look, I'm like Terminator
[49:45]two, you know, scanning the people at the bar be like, and I'm checking to see if there's
[49:48]any fun candy.
[49:49]That I don't know about yet.
[49:50]Like I'm, I'm, I want to get some fun candy.
[49:53]Like when Hershey's came out with that cookies and cream bar, I was like, damn fun candy alert.
[49:57]Better get that.
[49:58]Or a Kit Kat has the new strawberry flavor.
[50:00]I was like, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop.
[50:02]New candy alert.
[50:03]Also lemon, lemon Kit Kat.
[50:04]Very good.
[50:05]Ooh, Rob.
[50:06]One of my favorite things to do.
[50:07]This is a rust move.
[50:08]I love going with like the Gatorade zero and other zero sugar drinks and then adding some
[50:13]candy or something very unhealthy to go with it.
[50:16]Sir, you want to buy a diet?
[50:18]Amount?
[50:19]And a bunch of these sweet tarts.
[50:22]Yes, I do.
[50:23]Yes, please.
[50:24]It makes you feel like you're not really doing things that are that bad.
[50:29]Sir, I legally have to ask you, are you going to combine these?
[50:32]It's like cough syrup.
[50:33]You can only buy so many.
[50:34]It's like, no, no, no, no, no.
[50:35]You're over your limit of sweet tarts.
[50:37]Step on the scale.
[50:38]If you want to buy more, we have to see how much you weigh.
[50:40]Um, and so I bought, they had, and this is not a new candy alert.
[50:45]Okay.
[50:46]Don't, don't blame me like that.
[50:47]But this is, I bought the, um, oh my God.
[50:49]What do you call?
[50:50]No, no, no, no.
[50:51]Rob, don't lose the bit right now.
[50:54]Taffy.
[50:55]They're like a taffy thing, but they're different colors.
[50:58]Ones are different flavors.
[50:59]Taffy.
[51:00]No, no, it's not.
[51:01]It's the, um, oh, what is, oh no, this story is not going to work if I can't think of the
[51:08]candy.
[51:09]Starburst.
[51:10]There it is.
[51:11]Mambas.
[51:12]It was like Mambas or something.
[51:13]No, no, no, no, no.
[51:14]It was like in a long package and you open it up and it's like, God damn it.
[51:17]I'm too fat.
[51:18]I cannot.
[51:19]It's like air heads or something like that.
[51:21]Air heads.
[51:22]That's exactly what it was.
[51:23]So it's these, right?
[51:24]It's the air heads.
[51:25]I fucking said air heads.
[51:26]It's the air heads.
[51:27]Did you?
[51:28]Yes.
[51:29]Aaron, you got to speak up my guy.
[51:30]So I bought one of these, right?
[51:31]So I buy one of these air heads.
[51:32]Now these are like in a long thin package.
[51:37]Okay.
[51:38]And classic.
[51:39]A lot of jiu jitsu champions are like, listen, every day when you train, you need to eat
[51:43]five air heads afterwards.
[51:44]I'm like, yes, sensei.
[51:45]I will do whatever you say.
[51:46]You know, I bought air heads and then he's like, Hey, it's two for a dollar.
[51:49]Whatever.
[51:50]Which looking back, it's too expensive for airheads.
[51:51]Look at what they're not even that big.
[51:52]I can get them on Amazon.
[51:53]What is this on Amazon?
[51:54]Two for a dollar.
[51:55]60 for eight bucks.
[51:56]I'm getting ripped off of my bodega.
[51:57]Big time.
[51:58]Rob, have you heard about inflation?
[51:59]I mean, have you seen the price of eggs lately?
[52:00]I know.
[52:01]Hey, you guys see the price of air heads at my bodega in time square?
[52:02]Can you believe the bodega that's right next to time square is really expensive.
[52:03]Wow.
[52:04]That's crazy.
[52:05]Who would think that it's me and a bunch of high school kids, like on a tour, I'm like,
[52:19]excuse me.
[52:20]I have to buy these airheads.
[52:21]So I bought two airheads because he said they're two for a dollar.
[52:22]I get home.
[52:23]I open one airhead, eat it.
[52:26]Delicious.
[52:27]Great decision.
[52:28]Rob, still number one.
[52:29]Okay.
[52:30]Awesome.
[52:31]Proud of myself.
[52:32]I opened the second airhead and instantly I know something's wrong.
[52:35]Oh no.
[52:36]I open it and this airhead instead of being a flat, like snake type thing is rolled up
[52:43]and there's plastic around it.
[52:45]Okay.
[52:46]And I'm like, wait a minute.
[52:49]All of a sudden, my terminator two brain is going again and I'm dissecting and I'm thinking
[52:52]about things and I go, this isn't a airhead.
[52:58]This is a motherfucking fruit roll up.
[53:00]Yes.
[53:01]I opened this fruit roll up and I was like, wow, this is going to be, I haven't had a
[53:05]fruit roll up in years.
[53:08]It was the highlight of my week when I ate this fruit roll up, it was one of the greatest
[53:13]things that had happened to me all week.
[53:15]It was so good.
[53:16]We should be eating fucking fruit roll ups.
[53:18]All the time.
[53:19]It was delicious.
[53:20]To be fair.
[53:21]I mean, you live a fairly, I mean, you don't live a boring life, Rob, you're, you're pretty
[53:27]exciting guy.
[53:28]So that to be the most exciting thing.
[53:31]And I think I'd been in Italy for part of that week too, actually, I got back and when
[53:35]I had that fruit roll up, I was like, mama mia, this is so good.
[53:38]I have to give you credit.
[53:39]You have a lot of self-discipline to buy airheads and a fruit roll up and to make it all the
[53:43]way home before you stuff those things down your pile.
[53:45]I do.
[53:46]Don't I?
[53:47]Yeah.
[53:48]Like, honestly, I think if somebody saw me eating airhead after airhead on the train,
[53:52]they would move away faster than the guy I saw trying to light stuff on fire.
[53:55]Like there's a guy next to me trying to light stuff on fire and I was like, I'm going to
[53:59]see where this goes before.
[54:00]Cause I got it here.
[54:01]I'm like, I'm sitting, I got lots of room.
[54:04]Did the fruit roll up have like the cutout shapes?
[54:06]Like, could you pull, like pull the star out of the middle of it or was there stuff in
[54:10]it or not?
[54:11]They did.
[54:12]And I ate it.
[54:13]Like I've eaten every single fruit roll up in my life, crunched it up into a ball and
[54:16]I put it all in at once.
[54:18]I'm not pulling it off.
[54:20]I'm not doing it.
[54:21]I would either do that.
[54:22]Or when I was younger, I would wrap the fruit roll up around my finger and then just suck
[54:26]on it.
[54:27]And then at the end it would be like a sugary mess on my finger.
[54:31]No.
[54:32]Oh my God.
[54:33]This is my therapy.
[54:34]I've realized it now.
[54:35]I'm so fat.
[54:36]Oh, I need to go primal scream this out, but I highly recommend everybody.
[54:42]If you are home tonight, go and buy a single fruit roll up at any store that sells them.
[54:48]okay and if you're looking for one there is one on 48th street and 6th avenue so come on down
[54:52]earned his reputation as the main host and podcast man today when instead of talking about a trip to
[55:00]rome or a trip to memphis he talked about how he bought a fruit roll-up no no no no no i didn't
[55:07]buy a fruit roll-up but their heads it was accidental it was an accidental it was the
[55:11]onion ring in the fry situation or was it accidental i'm sure this guy was like oh wow
[55:16]he's grinding the fruit roll-up we've been trying to sell that thing for like 30 years
[55:20]nobody has ever bought a fruit roll-up i don't even know if my kids know what a fruit roll-up
[55:26]is honestly it's kind of like fruit by the foot i was trying to explain that the other day
[55:29]i was trying to explain what a fruit by the foot was or the uh bubble tape to him the other day i
[55:34]was like it's just a long tape of gum yeah but you know aaron's gross aaron do you want to guess
[55:40]aaron aaron aaron do you want to guess if i ever put the whole like a bubble tape in my mouth
[55:46]i'll give you one guess
[55:49]yes yes
[55:53]i'll give you a hint we will cover the answer to that question when we cover the song roundabout
[56:03]by yes all right so uh let's talk about
[56:10]i had to spell it out for our people at home let's talk about uh paranoid by black sabbath
[56:16]um right now before we start i just want you to do this look at your hand okay look at your
[56:21]little fingies right now guys do it please okay you're like my kids at school you don't actually
[56:24]do what i say do these dumb things look at your hand and just say thank you just say thank you
[56:30]to your hand right now thank you because by the end of this you're going to be very thankful that
[56:34]you have a normal hand okay you're going to be very thankful by the end of this this is black
[56:39]sabbath second album after their self-titled uh black sabbath album uh black sabbath is you know
[56:44]four guys but really i think the more famous one is black sabbath and black sabbath is black sabbath
[56:46]ones are ozzy osbourne uh tommy iomi on guitar and tommy iomi is an interesting story because
[56:52]uh right before his last day of his job he's 19 he is working at a uh metal press in like an
[56:59]industrial building like he crushes the end of his fingers on one hand just smushes them right off
[57:06]can you imagine it's just terrible that's a bad day like when i think i've had a bad day at work
[57:11]i'm like oh i'm so tired nobody listens to me but then i look at my fingertips i'm like yep they're
[57:16]still thank goodness i would say that's one of the most important parts of the fingers actually
[57:20]it's the tips he's like russell when he gets his haircut no tips you know what i mean like that's
[57:24]i think that's a rumor we could get going about russell no problem uh so what he ended up doing
[57:28]and of course he was playing guitar at the time and he was super depressed and his friend is like
[57:31]hey i want you to listen to this jazz guitarist named django reinhardt he's like why would i want
[57:36]to listen to guitar i can't play guitar i love playing guitar i can't do it look at my hand
[57:39]man i i assume he had like a fucking clown hand right where like his hand was normal
[57:43]size and then the end of the fingers were all big and fat where they got smashed
[57:46]by the press right you think there's a huge i don't know no i don't think about these things
[57:54]that much big like you think about the film sweet and lowdown where sean penn plays the
[57:58]world's second greatest jazz guitarist behind django reinhardt good film
[58:01]you gotta have a podcast aaron you gotta have your own podcast i should be on a podcast shouldn't i
[58:08]where you just listen to things and talk about we could just celebrate what aaron says on this
[58:12]podcast i'm just doing free association he didn't even say
[58:16]earlier um and so what what he did is he listens but django reinhardt is a two-finger guitarist he
[58:23]has two fingers that he's fretting with interesting because they got again just look at your hand say
[58:27]thanks because they got what i read on wikipedia injured in a fire and i was like oh god that
[58:33]sounds fucking bad too so in a fire so don't tommy iomi or uh tommy iomi his name is tommy t-o-m-i
[58:41]so it screws up with my head he made plastic fingertips out of like
[58:46]plastic shampoo bottles what and that's what he played this with he had fake fingertips he was
[58:52]playing with bionic fingertips and that's why this album sounds the way it does because with the
[58:56]plastic fingertips he couldn't play chords in a normal way so he had to add sounds and he had to
[59:01]play a little bit slower than most people so when you hear this album it's not a fast metal album
[59:05]no right people say this is one of the first metal albums it's not fast but it's heavy and a big part
[59:10]of that is this weird sound that nobody else would get because they didn't get their fingers smashed
[59:16]um and of course the big hit off this album was paranoid itself and that was probably uh
[59:22]sabbath's biggest hit of all time let's get right into it iron man i guess yeah i guess iron man
[59:28]yeah it's the only it's their only top uh it's the only top hit on the billboard was uh paranoid or
[59:33]in the uk anyway first song right off the bat you could not start an album in a more kick-ass way
[59:38]war pigs this is the beginning guys there's a fucking siren at the beginning of this album
[59:45]like a tornado siren
[59:46]they do a great job it's like this slow heavy like just pounding opening and then it starts
[59:54]oh yeah it's so good um this is my i love playing this song on rock band this is now a go-to in my
[60:02]karaoke club which gets looks from some of the seventh graders that i'm singing to speaking of
[60:06]rock band i did give one of my nephews all of my video games playstation games the other day
[60:12]including seven different versions of guitar hero and two guitars
[60:16]wow i haven't heard if he started playing them yet but really hooked him up you're supporting
[60:21]the arts i love it this is listen listen to ozzy's voice in this song listen how good this sounds
[60:26]and by the way generals gathered in i can hit all these notes easy i could not
[60:34]i had to record like four times i this was not an easy song or not an easy thing to mimic no i
[60:43]ozzy osbourne is such a talented singer
[60:46]and then what a lot of these songs do is listen to this this this the temple picks up and what
[60:51]you're going to hear here is the bass now their bass player and lyricist for the band is a guy
[60:56]named geezer butler geezer butler is his name excuse me sir somebody is waiting for you in the
[61:05]geezer no geezer butler a lot of people do you as mr butler but you'll always be geezer to me
[61:13]i mean imagine your kid it's like
[61:16]oh i love our baby what do you want to name it geezer yes i also want to name it geezer that's
[61:21]a great name he looks like a butler doesn't he does look at him he's bringing us a little
[61:26]thing of water right off the bat or whatever a butler does i'm not sure listen to this uptick
[61:31]in tempo though and is this 1970 did you say rob 70 i mean crazy early crazy this is the same year
[61:43]as maggot brain so now we're not that far removed to listen to maggot brain same year interesting i
[61:48]don't think it's a crazy dissimilar album right like a big long opening big long guitar solo
[61:54]they would have had to been listening to the same stuff cream the beatles 100 now this one
[62:01]they get done with the album they need a three minute song they're like what are we gonna do
[62:05]and they're like tommy play a cool riff that you have because this is how they wrote all their
[62:08]songs the tommy would play a cool riff ozzy would come up with a melody and
[62:13]geezer butler would write all the lyrics dude i think one of the lyrics should be oh no sir i'm
[62:21]having a heart attack okay never mind um and they say that they wrote this whole song 20 minutes
[62:26]no problem like it just came it came right in listen to the drums on this song
[62:29]the drummer's name by the way bill ward talk about a boring name
[62:35]boring like do him and geezer go out and hang out at night they like go pick up women at the bar
[62:43]i'm tommy i'm tommy i'm bill ward
[62:49]oh man we listened to we listened to this one once before with the ring modulator list remember
[63:00]they ran the guitar i think on this one so the ring modulator yeah next up is a song where i
[63:07]just wrote what the fuck next to it because this one if you put on this album and then heard this
[63:11]you'd be kind of bummed i gotta think
[63:13]i actually really enjoyed this track though i was like oh you can kind of just
[63:18]relax for a minute they wanted to prove they could play a slow song
[63:22]i'm gonna say nope you can't it's not relaxing i like the bogos i i thought this was if if uh
[63:31]radiohead and santana had a had a wild night and had an offspring song this would be the song
[63:36]maybe that's why i like it man i think about santana having sex almost every day
[63:41]really yeah
[63:43]smooth how many times do you think you've heard the song smooth in your life
[63:50]it's probably been 14 years no but how no no how many times did you hear it in your life what do
[63:59]you mean 14 years i don't think i've heard it well i bet i heard this song 10 000 times don't
[64:06]you think man you're a radio guy how many times did you hear this yeah i was gonna go with at
[64:10]least a thousand right but i don't think i've heard it 10 000 times i don't think i've heard it
[64:11]10 000 probably sounds more real this was the biggest song
[64:15]you know what it does kind of rip i kind of get it too
[64:19]it's true rob thomas not a terrible singer i don't know and you could just i mean if you
[64:26]wanted to picture santana having sex on a beach you could do that that's easy to picture that's
[64:30]right oh yeah picture santana having sex on rob thomas whatever you want oh matt you're you're
[64:36]more of a alternative rock guy are you a heavy metal guy have you ever been into sabbath or any
[64:40]like the metal stuff i don't know i don't know i don't know i don't know i don't know
[64:41]later or not what is it 93x is the station in town here right yeah and i just never really
[64:49]got into like the really heavy metal stuff or i'm trying i don't even know the name a lot of
[64:53]the bands but the really heavy stuff where you couldn't hear them that being said like the all
[64:57]the grunge stuff i mean i like when there's really heavy guitars and that so i don't i don't know if
[65:01]i could figure out why i don't like it but no i've never really gotten into the heavy metal stuff
[65:06]on a shade lounge i mean i think about santana on there too it's
[65:10]there's lots of places
[65:11]uh this next one iron man now originally when they first wrote this song
[65:16]when they made this song they wanted to call it iron bloke i mean that would have been a great
[65:23]song bloke is one of the good words that didn't make it over here yeah i wish we should get it
[65:29]going rob do you want me to redo my parody tonight called rob is podcast bloke
[65:35]a lot of things run with bloke i will bring you guys behind the scenes of my
[65:41]parody efforts i didn't know how to get the ring modulator to work and i thought i could either ask
[65:47]rob to do it for me yeah but then i would be giving away what the title what the point of
[65:51]the song was and i chose not to do it how many times in your life do you think you've said i am
[65:56]iron man 100 at least right like when i'm coming out of a shower there's like lots of steam coming
[66:05]out i'm always pulling out i am iron man the crazy thing is you would think
[66:11]you would think it would be in the lyrics other than the beginning and it's not
[66:14]no no in fact you would think every time it's i am iron man what was
[66:21]i think it's because he's speaking in the first person for the first
[66:26]line and they switch it to the third person for the rest so iron man talks again in the song
[66:32]much slower than you think isn't it russell when you're doing a parody song to it was it slower
[66:37]than it is you kind of have to slow yourself down a little bit it is slower but i think you were
[66:41]that and i think these guitar riffs is it tony i owe me rob you were saying his his riffs are
[66:46]really heavy but they're slower it's not like thrash metal like metallica or a lot of the stuff
[66:51]you heard later but he's like widely considered to be the best metal guitar player ever right and
[66:56]when you look at like if you ever look for like best metal guitar riffs all of the black sabbath
[67:01]stuff is at the top of everyone's list but i thought we could take that a step further and
[67:05]celebrate some of the other great heavy metal guitar riffs in music history
[67:11]russell i'm excited for this this is gonna rock my fucking face off i can't
[67:16]no wonder you didn't want to talk about rob santana in sex places you were ready to get
[67:22]your list i get it well speaking of rob well the first the first song on the list is from
[67:27]lead singer rob halford this is judas priest breaking the law from 1980
[67:31]that's a good tar rap yeah that's good it really digs in
[67:41]this is such a good song about just breaking the law like it's just like
[67:46]hey we should do a song about breaking the law all right here's one
[67:50]i think we heard this once before and it got us into a beavis and butthead
[67:54]well i was trying to i was trying not to go into the beavis and butthead that's all i think about
[67:59]because how do you not i was actually reading that rob halford the lead singer for judas priest
[68:05]actually was one of the 250 people that were polled for rolling stone's top 500 greatest song list
[68:11]and he actually ranked paranoid as the number one song of all time okay which i thought was
[68:16]interesting um and he actually named black sabbath the self-titled album as his favorite album ever
[68:21]saying it was an example of what heavy heavy metal should sound like so he was definitely
[68:25]influenced big time by black sabbath oh very cool next song on the list 1983 the song is holy diver
[68:33]this is dio i fucking love this song
[68:35]his voice
[68:41]dio's voice is so crazy good
[68:43]now russell did you find out what the song is about i have no idea what it's about because
[68:55]the cover of this album is a like a priest chained to the rocks and an ocean crashing
[69:02]around him and i was like this doesn't make any sense to me at all it is it is a bit confusing
[69:06]i would figure it's just like a goth looking person who's out diving for clams or something
[69:10]like that i don't know if it's a good idea i don't know if it's a good idea i don't know if it's a good idea
[69:11]what do you think and aaron's like excuse me can i talk to you oh you also sell knives okay i'll
[69:17]take three thank you very much so did you guys know ronnie james deal the front man for dio
[69:24]he was actually in black sabbath i thought he was in 1979 yeah ozzy got fired for drinking and drugs
[69:32]in 79 and then ronnie james deal comes in as their lead front man for like three years that
[69:38]he gets fired and then he comes back and he plays with him and he's like i don't know what to do with
[69:41]him later he joins him later and actually years later i think it was in the 90s they were on tour
[69:45]he was touring with black sabbath and they were opening for ozzy and he refused to open for ozzy
[69:50]so he quit the band again because he wouldn't open for ozzy when he's playing with black sabbath
[69:55]and then black sabbath replaced him for two shows with rob halford from judas priest
[70:01]time is a flat circle nuts oh man so he opened for black sabbath and then wouldn't sing for
[70:09]like did he he was playing with black
[70:11]sabbath on like an ozzy tour where obby ozzy was doing his own thing and black sabbath with
[70:16]he opened that is so weird that is so weird to get kicked out of a band and then go tour with them
[70:22]all right next up on the list this is a band we've heard once before oh oh russell i forgot
[70:26]something i forgot something yeah uh something something holy driver i just cannot remember
[70:32]where i parked this i tried so hard to think of something better than holy driver
[70:36]all right next next song on the list we were talking about the song holy driver
[70:41]we were talking about thrash metal this is much faster than black sabbath this is metallica enter
[70:45]sandman it's the one we're gonna go with oh yes yes this is it for me of guitar riffs see this
[70:52]this isn't that fast this is when they slowed down a little bit but there's too many metallic
[70:57]guitar riffs to pick from it's hard to choose one right i feel like this is the most iconic for sure
[71:02]and i know pre-sandman metallica fans might disagree but yeah aaron likes him with his short
[71:10]hair
[71:11]he loves the mission impossible soundtrack the mission impossible song is his favorite metallica
[71:17]song new metallica this week i've never wow i can't wait well you know what aaron i actually
[71:22]have a sneak peek of what metallica is coming out with and i think their fans are going to be
[71:27]impressed
[71:28]this is lars and the people love it aaron you can hear the women screaming
[71:40]for that shit
[71:41]i mean it would be like metallica toured with limewire that's what that ozzy deal thing is like
[71:47]or napster i didn't even get the fucking thing right
[71:52]james headfield said in 2015 black sabbath his favorite band of all time
[71:58]metallica inducted black sabbath in the rock and roll hall of fame and also served as ozzy's
[72:02]backing band when he got inducted in the hall of fame separately so
[72:06]clearly metallica heavily influenced black sabbath right oh yeah i think all these guys
[72:11]are well you know who else remember we've talked about this band once before this guy also played
[72:16]with metallica he went on to lead megadeth dave mustang this is symphony of destruction from 1992
[72:22]i wonder what was on the cover of this album i'm gonna guess there's a skeleton
[72:28]i was gonna guess uh
[72:34]no probably not who's a skeleton
[72:38]he he he he he
[72:39]i made xylophones on my rib cage because rob can't think of another pun to have to do with music and
[72:51]mustang also really influenced by sabbath they actually covered a black sabbath song on a black
[72:57]sabbath cover album and he said black sabbath was one of the most fans that i heard first when i
[73:03]started listening to metal i was so immersed in the music really early in my life that became a
[73:08]way of life for us so
[73:09]black sabbath definitely influenced on megadeth too wow final band on the list i feel like this
[73:15]in some orchestras they play the cello but in this one we play the hello you're dead
[73:20]this is hard actually okay i'm gonna think of another one russell i'll be back in a little bit
[73:25]this is the grip keeper from metallica symphony of the night and i'll be back later i just need
[73:31]to find where i parked i know i parked my car somewhere where was it is that a tales from the
[73:38]crypt yes
[73:39]it's symphony of the night director who's is like every other megadeth album cover that rocked and
[73:44]scared me rob you might remember this i remember watching like tales from the crypt as a kid and
[73:49]there would always be some sort of like somewhat vague reference to sexual stuff like there'd be a
[73:54]stripper or there'd be he would always be real creepy about that wouldn't yeah he's like i look
[73:59]into their windows at night and that's okay because i'm already scary i'm the crypt keeper
[74:05]uh i
[74:09]they call me the slit peeper because i'm looking through the slits in the windows
[74:12]oh boy this is actually hard i gotta give a lot of credit to the people who write for the
[74:17]crypt keeper they're dead funny oh no i can't just put dead in front of things
[74:24]okay i'm gonna think of one orchestra led by the crypt keeper joke by the end of this list
[74:29]orchestra crypt keeper yep russell none of this can get cut okay
[74:33]last thing on the list i feel like that when you were talking about whether you were in a metal
[74:38]i feel like you might have been into this band i could be wrong but this is rage against the
[74:42]machine the song's bulls on parade oh yes for sure no here's my question
[74:46]and i'm gonna sound really dumb is this a metal band oh absolutely is it is it like a i mean this
[74:56]is almost a new metal i mean that i think it's like metal and hip-hop right if you i actually
[75:01]was reading a quote the i think it's tom morello is that the guitarist yeah yeah yep so and he was
[75:08]at one point he was really influenced by omi and black sabbath and is it zach de la rocha is the
[75:14]lead singer is that right man yep so he actually said once i don't care for black sabbath but tom
[75:19]morello also really doesn't care for the hip-hop riffs that i bring but somehow we put them
[75:23]together and it works really good so yeah that is a great riff though they're playing russell and i
[75:28]would say that was not just a great riff that was a great list great list great list rage is finally
[75:34]back together but covid has canceled their trip to the
[75:38]twin cities like five times now it feels like so just can't wait to see them live
[75:44]yeah i've never seen them live there'll be a show
[75:47]and my skeleton is made of trombones nailed it nailed it you didn't think i was gonna get to an
[75:54]orchestra cryptkeeper pun but i did now i noticed you guys haven't come up with any orchestra based
[75:59]cryptkeeper puns so let's think about it okay let's all try to have one by the end try to get
[76:03]up to your level next one i don't know if this is the best lyrics ever the worst ever
[76:08]electric funeral
[76:09]but not my favorite on the album it's it's not but i will say this toward the end of the song
[76:21]they start to rock it like this listen when it speeds up like this i'm like yes right yes
[76:27]that's like the hendrix influence yes yeah this feels like 1970 big time you're totally right
[76:34]about that man this made me think a lot about my funeral
[76:37]you
[76:38]you guys think i should have a funny funeral or a serious funeral because here's the problem
[76:42]having a funny funeral right if i'm planning bits at my funeral and they don't work oh what a way
[76:49]to go what a fun you know what you know how sometimes my my bits on here i plan the most
[76:53]like a cryptkeeper bit maybe i've been working on for weeks um don't do very well that would be rough
[76:59]if that was the last thing like and then leave the church don't forget to push in your scares
[77:05]and it's like wait was that a crib
[77:08]keeper thing do we push in chairs at a church we're in pews what is he doing
[77:13]did he have something wrong with his brain is that what got him
[77:17]what no he died on the toilet eating a barbecue sandwich
[77:20]rob what would you think if if people came to your funeral and they did all your bits but didn't give
[77:27]you props for him and just acted like they were owned and like i will go up there and i say
[77:30]hey i just want to lose enough weight that i can i can cheat on my car aficionado oh my god
[77:35]and people are just fucking roaring laughing but they think it's my joke and not yours you're
[77:40]stealing my bits yes what would you think of that i would i would haunt you from the grave
[77:45]can you imagine if i was the one haunting you because you know i'd just be watching i'd be in
[77:51]that bathroom right away that'd be the first place i'd go i was gonna say if if you were
[77:56]i don't think any of us would be the ones that you'd be hunting if you had the ability to haunt
[78:01]this was gonna be part of my rolling going we we go to a swim club now and i go so i'm back into
[78:08]locker room culture and i can't every time i see a naked dude i think of rob i'm always like i bet
[78:12]rob would be like i can't why because i just feel i just think about like what rob would say about
[78:20]this naked guy oh no
[78:22]because you said you'd be peeping rob
[78:31]i told you aaron if you and i switch bodies and we
[78:32]the first thing i do is get naked and look in a mirror and see what i'm working with
[78:36]all right hand of all aaron's really good at this uh hand of doom
[78:45]this is a fun song so we've had a lot of nuclear annihilation songs
[78:49]this one's about gi's coming back getting hooked on heroin oh god
[78:54]yeah but this again listen to this switch to the higher tempo harder stuff listen
[79:01]kicks ass
[79:02]when you realize they write these songs riff first it makes a lot of sense because these
[79:16]songs are riff heavy unlike i was surprised i guess what is it is it the maybe it's the apple
[79:24]music description or the rolling stone description that says like nothing signified the death of the
[79:29]summer of love or the death of 60s like i don't know i don't know i don't know i don't know i don't
[79:31]like this album but they're still sort of aligned with that that leftist counterculture vibe right
[79:37]they're just doing it it's like straddling a line or am i wrong well there's a quote in here that
[79:42]ozzy osbourne basically grew up poor and the songs that they were hearing coming from america
[79:47]was all about san francisco and flower power and they had no idea where san francisco was and they
[79:53]were trying to figure out flower pot you know and so it was basically they were going with the
[79:58]opposite of what that was and they were trying to figure out what that was and they were trying to
[80:01]figure out what that was and that was kind of their jam was to do the exact opposite of the
[80:05]summer of love stuff yeah so okay uh next up we have a drum solo big drum solo rat salad it's
[80:13]called and they said they had to place uh concerts for like an hour 45 minutes and so they do a 45
[80:18]minute drum solo to fill because they didn't have enough songs so the drummer's just stuck out there
[80:23]yeah i don't know if it's uh for their drums but another big fan of black sabbath was actually back
[80:31]he said in an interview with q magazine his favorite riff ever is a song called super not
[80:36]by black sabbath i don't know if you can pull that one up quick rob super not i would super
[80:41]not yes you would love to super yes i'll tell you what if somebody ties me down to the bed
[80:47]but you know what they better use super not super not oh
[80:52]so this was his favorite riff ever i could see why yeah
[81:01]i don't know i think i kind of hear you kind of hear a little bit of back in there don't use that
[81:04]like for sure but it was funny he was actually telling a story that when he was 26 years old
[81:13]he was recording odly in the studio and there were actually two bands recording on each side of him
[81:18]one was black sabbath and the other was the muppets oh no joke that he actually stole the
[81:25]music of black sabbath and the muppets and was part of a muppet black sandwich sandwich and he
[81:29]was in the middle
[81:31]isn't that crazy that's russell's dream is to be in the walls between the back and the muppet
[81:34]recording yeah well my dream even takes it further because our guy
[81:38]ozzy actually covered a song born to be wild with our favorite miss piggy this is ozzy with miss piggy
[81:45]doing born to be wild
[81:46]that's beautiful
[81:51]take the world
[81:56]oh yes oh yes
[82:01]that's all i got
[82:06]i bet ozzy osbourne would love to hang out with miss piggy because she'd be
[82:10]so good at cocaine doing cocaine i mean what he's a big cocaine guy
[82:17]why would she be good at cocaine because she's got a big nose she's a pig it's right there what
[82:22]are you guys talking about are you serious right now are you intentionally trying to make me mad
[82:28]why would you be serious right now are you intentionally trying to make me mad
[82:31]i didn't see it
[82:33]ozzy did do a magazine cover once where he was sitting with kermit and he was acting like he was
[82:39]going to bite kermit's head off i oh that's good that's a good joke do you get that rob he's like a
[82:44]bat kermit's like a bat yeah it's kind of similar no he's not he's a frog they're not even the same
[82:53]kingdom no they are the same kingdom they're not even i actually think they'd be very similar if
[82:57]you bit the head off either one i bet it would be the same
[82:59]they're the same
[83:00]you can't just bite a head off a frog and act like it's a bat i could tell the difference it
[83:05]wouldn't picking that up in concert guaranteed and we're going to do a test later they both
[83:08]are kind of like rubbery looking gonzo would also be good at cocaine okay i want to point that out
[83:13]as well okay that's the problem i ripped my pants open it looked like i was giving birth to miss
[83:17]piggy oh uh all right so it is good we took the lindy kermit's detour the next song is this is
[83:24]the song in between that they call jack the stripper it's instrumental for the first minute 30.
[83:30]then on amazon music that's a separate song then fairies were boots
[83:33]so this is more zeppelin blues style right
[83:41]rob if you don't want to jump to the head of the end of the song i think i gave you a time
[83:52]you guys got to hear this and see if you recognize it
[83:54]you got to recognize it
[84:00]don't you
[84:00]it's the same guitar riff we were talking about metallica's influence it's for whom the bell
[84:05]tolls right for whom the bell tolls is the exact same
[84:08]metallica took this from the end of that song yeah i never knew that they just took it straight
[84:15]up didn't they the version i had from a napster didn't have the end of the song so this i never
[84:19]heard this part and it was also called uh gin and juice by fish dot mp4 yeah mp3
[84:30]big titty dot mpg no it's just metallica again
[84:33]rob do you remember your first adult content you ever saw on the napster
[84:39]oh yeah of course are you serious going to hot sex.com i'm you know what i'm gonna look at what
[84:44]it's on hot sex.com right now hot sex.com because i'll never forget because my sister
[84:49]said listen she goes listen i gotta talk to you about something she goes
[84:53]are you on the family computer downstairs visiting
[85:00]and i'm probably at the time i'm probably like 17 so she would be like 15 she said are you visiting
[85:06]hot sex.com now this puts you in a precarious situation because your sister is asking if you
[85:16]visit a pornographic website what do you do or she's asking if your dad's or someone else that's
[85:22]what it was i said i said yes she goes oh thank christ because i thought it was either you or dad
[85:27]and i could not handle it dad was doing it
[85:30]i did i you know i love my dad he's not he's not waiting 10 years for a 56k modem to download
[85:39]what might be a breast or might be a somebody in a swimsuit you just don't know like it'd be like
[85:43]and it was always from the top down so you'd be like porn with stuff at top you know what i mean
[85:48]like you're really trying to get desperate with your search so it'd be like oh yeah this is a
[85:53]good one better put it on my floppy disk tell me if you go to my parents house and you go you
[85:59]grab a floppy disk and you go to my parents house and you go to my parents house and you go to my
[86:00]there's a 90 chance that if there's a folder on there called star wars game don't open
[86:05]that you open it up and it's like titty.jpg rob remember when like it was the like thing
[86:13]like cindy margolis was famous for being the most downloaded woman on the internet
[86:17]yes yeah i know that because i had a subscription to maxim magazine as well russell i did
[86:22]a true gentleman i thought girls would like that when they saw they're like oh he reads
[86:27]maxim you must be a refined person did that also go to dr roberta ward no
[86:32]that's doctor let's see what's on hot sex.com right now
[86:38]yep enter yep just what i expected it's pornography all right so
[86:45]that is it let's get into the reading system
[86:51]not as i remember did you see how fast all those pictures came up
[86:57]though i was fast and instantaneous not part of it
[87:00]i'll tell you what you know how i said that jerking off outside would be tough like that's
[87:07]the final frontier like that's it that's what you know you're like i've been jerking off too
[87:13]much if i'm thinking about jerking off outside i think there's something to uh masturbating and
[87:18]then hearing your mom trying to make a call over the modem picking up the phone and be like hello
[87:22]hello i need to make a call down there get off the internet
[87:27]mom i just loaded thongs i just downloaded the thongs category
[87:32]what are you doing i just downloaded perfect body god
[87:36]i've been tan lines all right let's get into the rating system what are we doing
[87:40]some music or something uh is this album okay uh paranoid by black sabbath 1970
[87:49]okay is this like a piece of metal hey piece of metal it's great okay you can turn it into shapes
[87:56]you can protect stuff you can build stuff with it that would be rolling well toned here at 139
[88:01]yet again okay seemingly trapped in the 130s i will say it again is this album okay the best
[88:08]kind of metal and that's a metal that is very very heavy and i'm realizing i should have done
[88:13]this the third one is the big reveal because this is kind of the bit i was doing or metal
[88:17]it's very very hot like a honing rod
[88:19]you're gonna poke uh it's a uh it's a
[88:25]honing rod honing rod do you want to buy it yes oh wow i can't believe it uh that would be heavy
[88:33]metal that would be good that would be rolling uh bone right rolling bone this should be higher
[88:40]on the list oh my god okay wait a minute if it was like heavy metal that would be good so it'd
[88:44]be higher on the list it got rolling boned or would it be a rolling groan just like light metal
[88:49]can you imagine a light metal oh my god aluminum titanium you know what actually i'm not sure if
[88:51]i got aluminum titanium you know what actually i love the stuff aluminum like like one of those
[88:57]cheap garbage cans that they hit each other with in a wrestling match man like the cheap
[89:01]aluminum ones and you think maybe you could do that to like kids in the neighborhood at home
[89:06]and it turns out to actually cause us quite a bit of problems listen maybe if i hit you again
[89:13]your eyes will uncross uh what do you think of this album russell rolling well toned rolling
[89:18]bone or rolling groan black sabbath paranoid you know i don't know i don't know i don't know i don't
[89:21]know i think it has to be at least rolling well toned i'm gonna say it's rolling well toned i
[89:24]think the influence on heavy metal music is too important if you're like the king of a genre for
[89:29]music i think you've got to be up there way up there on the list there's too many amazing bands
[89:33]that all are spawned or whatever you want to say from this band they're all under this tree right
[89:39]so for me i'm going to say the album's rolling well toned all these bands i'll go back to this
[89:43]album and say this is the one so for me this is rolling well toned there's a handful of songs
[89:47]that i don't think i'd want to listen to again but there's three or four that are just all-time
[89:51]so i really enjoyed it uh aaron what do you think rolling well toned rolling bone or rolling
[89:56]groan i think i have to agree with russell i'll i probably will not listen to this i know i won't
[90:01]listen to this album in its entirety ever again but it's important for for the bands that came
[90:06]after it um the moment when the drums kick in on iron man is actually one of my favorite moments
[90:13]in music so just based on that moment alone um i'm gonna give it a rolling well toned
[90:18]let's listen to that moment right now
[90:21]let's try this right choral style choral style no come on

[91:55]man how you rake the album just terrible uh i'm i'm right in line with you guys i'm gonna go
[92:03]rolling well tone just the influence it had i mean i don't think i'll come back and listen
[92:08]listen to a couple of the songs again but i'm not going to come back and put this album on ever

[92:44]you don't get to do this very often album
[92:46]that just start a genre right this is an album that pretty decisively starts an entire genre
[92:52]of music and it's uh it's something that should be appreciated it's it's heavy but it's not fast
[92:56]you can see you can really see where music kind of delineated in the metal section after this and
[93:01]i think it's a lot of fun especially with russell's great list of the best riffs next up oh god i can't

[93:52]so it's gonna have a sound clip from this show at the end
[93:55]but then we'll have already heard it but now you're talking about doing it so
[94:00]maybe rob maybe you could maybe you could take the song put it in at the end and then instead
