Pixies: Doolittle (1989)
[00:00]In 2020, four friends decided to listen to every one of the greatest 500 albums as decided by Rolling Stone magazine.
[00:05]This resulted in a text chain that celebrated the music, excoriated the order, and led us to making this podcast.
[00:09]We are far from experts. We promise to do almost no research.
[00:12]All opinions are our own, unless you disagree.
[00:14]There's a delay. There's a delay on the zoom.
[00:17]Please sit back and enjoy.
[00:19]Beck did it better.
[00:21]That's a good place for the gong right there, right?
[00:23]We are up to album 141.
[00:26]And from 1989, it's Pixies, not the Pixies, Pixies with Doolittle.
[00:32]And folks, there's nothing more to say.
[00:35]Sometimes, here's the thing.
[00:37]I think we're getting to the point in the podcast where I'm not going to know some of these albums, right?
[00:41]And then maybe sometimes instead of working on your parody songs and learning the songs and being able to sing it,
[00:46]maybe you play video games all morning and then actually run out of time in the evening to make a song,
[00:52]so you have to do one very quickly.
[00:53]And that's a story that somebody else told me because that wasn't me.
[00:56]I'm hard at work.
[00:57]I am grind set mindset.
[00:58]I'm working all day.
[01:00]This is my hustle.
[01:01]This is the worst side hustle I've ever had in my life.
[01:03]So let's turn on K-Rob and listen to a totally unrelated song.
[01:08]What's up, everybody?
[01:10]Welcome to K-Rob.
[01:11]K-R-O-B.
[01:14]And that is the wrong episode.
[01:17]Here we go.
[01:18]What's up, everybody?
[01:21]Welcome to K-Rob.
[01:22]K-R-O-B.
[01:24]You know, sometimes Rob doesn't know these albums very well.
[01:26]He still has to do it.
[01:26]He still has to make a parody song.
[01:27]And this time, Rob had to make a song that was also a little bit of a pep talk for him.
[01:32]Oh, yeah.
[01:33]Hey.
[01:36]Been trying to get through.
[01:42]Yeah.
[01:43]Hey.
[01:49]Parody song.
[01:52]When you don't know it, but you need to quote it all ahead.
[01:56]And now it's a chore.
[01:58]Can I stop doing this instead?
[02:00]But hey.
[02:02]Best bit is running thin.
[02:07]Thin.
[02:09]I asked the guys.
[02:15]And they explained.
[02:18]They explained.
[02:21]Songs are great.
[02:23]Whoa.
[02:24]Woo-hoo-hoo.
[02:26]The songs are great.
[02:28]Well, they're my faves.
[02:33]Wow.
[02:34]The reviews are rave.
[02:39]In fact, if it got a grade, they would all be A's.
[02:48]Because the songs are great.
[02:52]When I want to hear about the greatest album.
[02:55]I don't know.
[02:56]I don't know any of the songs on this album, guys.
[02:57]None.
[02:58]I salute you.
[02:59]That was rough.
[03:03]That was tough to do.
[03:04]Talent.
[03:05]Raw talent.
[03:08]Raw.
[03:10]Uncut.
[03:11]I'm going to give it to you, Beck.
[03:14]We did it better.
[03:15]Real raw.
[03:15]Listen.
[03:17]I am here.
[03:19]We are talking about Pixies.
[03:20]I've got three guys with me that want to talk about the album that's 141 on the list as
[03:25]we enter into the 40.
[03:26]This is 40.
[03:27]Except this is 140, if you think about it.
[03:29]Matt in Minneapolis.
[03:30]Matt, how are you doing?
[03:31]Good.
[03:33]Rosie, if you are five, Rob, if your parody songs are six, then Russell's are definitely
[03:40]seven.
[03:41]Russell's parody songs are definitely seven.
[03:43]Definitely seven.
[03:44]Shot.
[03:45]Definitely seven.
[03:46]If the devil is six, then the God is seven.
[03:50]I've got Russell in Minnesota.
[03:51]Russell, how are you doing?
[03:52]I'm doing great.
[03:53]When Rob goes through jujitsu, he's an app and rapper.
[03:56]He's an app and tap and catharsis.
[03:57]When he gets choked out, he gets erected.
[04:00]His blood is working, but his heart is dead.
[04:02]Rob hit the crapper.
[04:03]The crapper.
[04:04]Rob hit the crapper.
[04:05]The crapper.
[04:06]Here comes the man.
[04:09]And I've got Aaron out in California.
[04:13]Now, Aaron, he's mad.
[04:15]He was telling us earlier.
[04:16]He's mad.
[04:17]He's like, I can't even put out breadcrumbs anymore to trick kids to come to my house
[04:21]so I can eat them.
[04:22]What?
[04:23]Yeah.
[04:24]It's all because of the stupid Hansel.
[04:26]It's culture.
[04:26]Hansel culture.
[04:28]And I almost screwed up the joke, but I pulled it out.
[04:29]It's actually not funny because in the break, there was a fucking possum on my porch eating
[04:33]the cat's food.
[04:34]I hope this episode doesn't turn into a wave of mutilation.
[04:38]Let's talk about pixies.
[04:39]It wasn't that same possum that was whittling through the Oakland A's.
[04:43]That would be a long trek for a possum.
[04:46]Cometary move the other day, was it?
[04:48]Yeah.
[04:48]I don't know how far a possum moves in a day, but.
[04:50]You mean the Las Vegas Aces?
[04:52]Go Aces.
[04:53]They're my favorite baseball team now.
[04:55]No.
[04:55]Those fuckers are going to take.
[04:56]They're going to take the A's name.
[04:56]Oh, don't even.
[04:57]Fucking.
[04:58]I'm not.
[04:59]Aaron.
[04:59]I can't.
[05:00]I don't listen to the news.
[05:02]How many times do I have to tell you?
[05:04]Maybe if you spent some more time, maybe if you spent some more time buying some baseball
[05:08]tickets instead of buying the super overpriced house in the Bay Area, they'd still be there.
[05:13]Priorities.
[05:15]Oh, yeah.
[05:16]If only the fans had supported them.
[05:17]Aaron, I'm like a terrible lifeguard.
[05:20]I'm not up on current events.
[05:22]Listen, let's go to the.
[05:24]What?
[05:25]Did you guys hear that?
[05:26]Hello?
[05:26]Is my mic on?
[05:27]Am I muted?
[05:28]Can you repeat that one?
[05:29]That's been happening to me in real life.
[05:32]You guys.
[05:32]I had to like, I don't know what happens.
[05:33]Like we had the incident last week where I said airheads and no one heard me.
[05:37]And then the next day I go to T-ball and there's a extra ball out on the field.
[05:42]I'm trying to call time and no one can hear me.
[05:43]And I'm like, am I in a weird vortex?
[05:45]I'm talking.
[05:46]No one can hear me.
[05:46]Am I muted in real life now?
[05:48]Russell, do you think it's strange that we give long pauses and none of us talk and we
[05:51]also don't hear anything during this podcast?
[05:53]It's kind of strange, but.
[05:55]Sometimes really.
[05:56]Long pauses.
[05:56]All right.
[05:58]Oh yeah, right.
[05:59]Eric, come on.
[06:01]We got to keep this show rolling.
[06:02]And you might notice we're not doing a lot of chitter chatter between our segments.
[06:04]Okay.
[06:05]And it's not because this is our second episode of the night.
[06:06]Rob, do you mind if I actually had a second intro line I thought I could try out for you
[06:11]guys?
[06:11]I thought this would be a great opener if I were to ever be a comic.
[06:14]Okay.
[06:15]Let's hear it.
[06:15]I just want to lose enough weight that I can cheat on a Hamilton musical unappreciated.
[06:21]That's so good.
[06:24]What do you think of that?
[06:25]It's like an.
[06:26]It's like an opening joke.
[06:27]Really going for it.
[06:28]That's universal.
[06:28]Sometimes you just hear those jokes and you're wondering how this joke came out fully formed.
[06:33]This was formed by like God on this.
[06:35]But if you remember last week, you were given a two week pass.
[06:38]So you're still, you're one, you're, you're halfway through your pass.
[06:40]So you're good.
[06:40]You're good to say that.
[06:41]Oh, I'm taking it.
[06:43]If Rob hits the crapper.
[06:44]Well, wait until you guys hear my rolling going and then you'll see why Russell might
[06:48]need to hold onto that pass.
[06:50]Let's get into our voicemail and just when you think maybe the parody song is going to
[06:56]are not going that great.
[06:57]Cause I don't know the songs and I'm not putting a lot of effort into it.
[06:59]I get a voicemail like this.
[07:01]Nice.
[07:01]The parody songs are the highlight of the podcast.
[07:05]You should create a Spotify playlist of just the parody songs.
[07:09]We've said that.
[07:10]Yeah.
[07:10]Also the recent Aaron parody about food transitioning to feet was brilliant.
[07:14]Oh, Rob should win a Nobel peace prize for that songwriting.
[07:18]Thank you.
[07:19]Is this a message from Rob to himself?
[07:21]I was going to say, tell the truth.
[07:23]You can officially put the dumb shit listener thing.
[07:25]Oh,
[07:26]the Nobel peace prize for your,
[07:29]for your writing about Aaron's feet.
[07:32]Rob,
[07:32]pull up your soundboard with the emojis.
[07:34]Where's the dumb shit listener one?
[07:36]The dumb shit.
[07:36]Well, no,
[07:37]that's in my voicemail.
[07:38]Oh,
[07:38]I didn't play this.
[07:39]Oh no.
[07:40]Dumb,
[07:40]dumb,
[07:41]dumb,
[07:41]dumb,
[07:41]dumb,
[07:41]dumb,
[07:41]dumb,
[07:42]dumb,
[07:42]dumb,
[07:42]dumb shit listeners.
[07:43]Listeners.
[07:43]They don't,
[07:44]don't,
[07:44]don't,
[07:44]don't,
[07:44]don't,
[07:44]don't,
[07:45]don't,
[07:45]don't,
[07:45]don't shit listeners.
[07:46]They don't listeners.
[07:46]They put shit.
[07:48]Now you guys,
[07:50]listen,
[07:50]this is the same person.
[07:51]They've texted me us about the Rod Stewart rumor.
[07:53]They talked about Russ's cowboy hat.
[07:56]They've sent me menu pictures.
[07:58]This is a true listener.
[08:00]This is a true friend and actually kind of a,
[08:02]you know,
[08:03]I'm kind of a sapiosexual.
[08:04]So I'm kind of attracted to this listener.
[08:05]Cause they sound really smart.
[08:07]Okay.
[08:08]And if you don't know what a sapiosexual is,
[08:10]guess what?
[08:11]I don't want you to suck my balls.
[08:13]The irony of being a sapiosexual.
[08:17]I'm a sapiosexual.
[08:18]What's that?
[08:21]The universal anti-boner noise.
[08:24]It is a little,
[08:25]yeah.
[08:25]A little bit of a loophole.
[08:27]It's funny.
[08:28]Cause it's like the opposite of the THX noise.
[08:30]Like it was like,
[08:30]cause the THX goes up in pitch and the anti-boner.
[08:33]It's great.
[08:33]It's very clever.
[08:34]I mean,
[08:34]that is a great,
[08:35]like opening line.
[08:36]If someone on their dating app has,
[08:37]I'm a sapiosexual.
[08:39]Like,
[08:40]like how do you not say what's a sapiosexual,
[08:42]right?
[08:42]Oh yeah.
[08:43]It's the ultimate test.
[08:44]It's the swipe,
[08:46]whatever the wrong way is.
[08:47]Yeah.
[08:50]Do you think that you think they like,
[08:53]well,
[08:53]nevermind.
[08:53]I have no good bits about that.
[08:55]So listen,
[08:56]they love the songs.
[08:57]You know what?
[08:58]Thanks to this caller.
[08:59]I'll let that stop you.
[09:00]I'll tell you what I had written a song.
[09:02]Oh,
[09:03]I had written a song about to stir it up last week where I was going to say,
[09:07]give it up.
[09:07]And it was about how we should give up the podcast.
[09:09]And it was this really detailed song about how it's so bad.
[09:11]And it legit bummed me out.
[09:13]And it made me like,
[09:14]think like,
[09:14]why am I doing this?
[09:15]Am I even having fun?
[09:16]And then the last two voicemails we have gotten have lifted my spirits.
[09:20]Spirits higher and higher.
[09:22]Just like at the end of ghostbusters two,
[09:24]where they famously have the statue of Liberty defeat the pink ooze.
[09:27]Everybody remembers that because the song is higher and higher by Jackie.
[09:30]No,
[09:32]that was the first one.
[09:33]That's the one everybody thinks of,
[09:34]but actually a better,
[09:35]I'm going to say right now,
[09:36]I think ghostbusters two is better.
[09:37]I can't even finish that sense.
[09:39]I couldn't even say it as a joke,
[09:40]as a joke.
[09:41]I couldn't say it.
[09:42]Hey,
[09:43]text it into the back line.
[09:43]802-277-BECK.
[09:45]And let us know.
[09:45]Are you a sapiosexual?
[09:46]What's a sapiosexual?
[09:50]And how smart,
[09:54]like how,
[09:55]what's the smartness cutoff?
[09:57]Is there like an IQ cutoff or a sapiosexual?
[09:59]Like,
[10:00]do you have to be able to do long division to qualify under someone's
[10:04]standard for that?
[10:05]Does someone's standard,
[10:06]like,
[10:06]is it changed?
[10:08]Like if Aaron and Rob are both sapiosexuals,
[10:10]do they have different levels of intelligence that they would require?
[10:13]What is the standard?
[10:14]I'll have,
[10:14]you know,
[10:15]Russell,
[10:15]I went,
[10:15]I once was in a girl's place and I was in her bedroom and things were
[10:19]getting pretty hot.
[10:20]Hot and heavy.
[10:20]I don't want to go into details,
[10:22]but it was pretty sweet.
[10:22]And as we got into her bed,
[10:24]silk sheets,
[10:25]just wonderful,
[10:26]just a lovely time.
[10:27]We got into her bed and she hands me the triangle with one golf tee
[10:30]missing.
[10:31]Okay.
[10:32]And I was like,
[10:33]fuck.
[10:34]What?
[10:35]You know,
[10:36]that game that you had to solve or like you just had to,
[10:38]I spent so many hours of my life trying to figure out how to do that
[10:41]triangle thing.
[10:42]Kids these days,
[10:43]they just look it up on Tik TOK.
[10:44]Maybe every week.
[10:44]I mean,
[10:45]a Rubik's cube would be the ultimate test.
[10:46]I've still,
[10:46]have you guys ever solved a Rubik's cube?
[10:48]I have no way.
[10:49]No,
[10:49]no,
[10:50]no.
[10:50]Aaron,
[10:50]Aaron from Minneapolis can do it.
[10:53]No way.
[10:54]We had it.
[10:55]No,
[10:55]I cannot.
[10:56]So it's pretty easy.
[10:57]I mean,
[10:57]it's just learning a bunch of steps.
[10:59]Oh man,
[11:00]putting down Aaron for learning the Rubik's cube.
[11:02]Thanks for listening.
[11:04]Now I got to see what you've accomplished in your life.
[11:06]All right,
[11:06]here,
[11:06]let's break this down real quick,
[11:08]Russell,
[11:08]right?
[11:08]Sapio sexual,
[11:09]finding intelligence,
[11:11]sexually attractive or rousing.
[11:12]So what is intelligence,
[11:13]right?
[11:14]It's not just being smarter and IQ.
[11:16]Intelligence is the ability to acquire and apply.
[11:19]Knowledge and skills.
[11:20]So I'm thinking this,
[11:22]you know,
[11:22]you can be street smart.
[11:23]Yes,
[11:24]you can be book smart.
[11:25]You can,
[11:26]you know,
[11:26]be different standards,
[11:27]Delaware statutory,
[11:29]you know,
[11:30]filing smart things like,
[11:31]you know,
[11:31]there's all sorts of things,
[11:33]right?
[11:33]So I think,
[11:34]I think it's a very,
[11:35]uh,
[11:36]wide scale on what you can find,
[11:38]you know,
[11:39]the,
[11:39]and a person's intelligence.
[11:41]So I think,
[11:41]I mean,
[11:41]again,
[11:42]I noticed you didn't say a way I was smart.
[11:44]So I'd like you to now find a way that I'm smart and just bring that up on the podcast
[11:48]right now.
[11:48]If you can,
[11:49]uh,
[11:49]quickly,
[11:49]you know,
[11:50]convert kilograms to pounds,
[11:52]you know,
[11:53]because maybe you use them all the time,
[11:54]you know,
[11:55]things like that.
[11:55]If you can kind of float between those things pretty quick.
[11:58]How is Aaron smart?
[12:00]Well,
[12:01]if you guys have to ask,
[12:03]then you're not even,
[12:04]you know,
[12:04]Aaron's smart on so many different levels.
[12:06]Like where do we begin?
[12:07]Right.
[12:08]Musically,
[12:09]middle management wise,
[12:11]managing people.
[12:12]Cause he's manages 40 people.
[12:14]How many people is too many people to manage Rosie?
[12:17]More than two.
[12:19]I don't know.
[12:21]I actually like there's comfort in 13 because now I like,
[12:24]I don't do anything,
[12:24]but talk to these people.
[12:25]Like I don't lift your finger to do anything else.
[12:27]Nope.
[12:28]I do not.
[12:29]I approve.
[12:30]You had no expectation to produce anything.
[12:32]Do you?
[12:32]No,
[12:32]I do not.
[12:33]Do you have to like make sure their TPS reports are using the correct forms and
[12:37]things like that?
[12:38]Got to make sure they've got access to stuff.
[12:40]Do you ever think about if you assembled a football team,
[12:42]what position each person would be?
[12:43]And then who would be the two backups?
[12:45]And you'd be the coach.
[12:45]You'd have a Bear Bryant hat on.
[12:47]Yeah.
[12:47]All the time.
[12:48]I think about it all the time.
[12:49]I love it.
[12:49]I love thinking about that kind of stuff.
[12:50]Are you finding out things about now that you're the man,
[12:53]are you finding out things about people that you wish you never knew about
[12:56]them because you're their manager and they come to you with like just weird
[12:59]shit?
[12:59]No,
[13:00]I'm not getting so much of that.
[13:01]What I'm finding is that like,
[13:03]and I'm finding this coaching T-ball also like you are,
[13:07]it's,
[13:07]it's,
[13:08]I'm never not shocked at how little people actually take in of what you tell
[13:14]them.
[13:14]I just like adults are not,
[13:17]they don't give a shit what you're saying.
[13:19]You have to repeat things five times minimum for adults.
[13:22]All right,
[13:23]let's get into rolling going.
[13:24]No,
[13:26]I believe anyone who says they're a sapiosexual,
[13:29]if they have the choice of picking a 10 who is dumb as fuck or a five who is
[13:38]smart as Albert Einstein,
[13:39]every goddamn one of those sapiosexuals is picking the tan.
[13:43]The fucking tan.
[13:44]That's what I'm saying.
[13:44]Yeah.
[13:45]Yeah.
[13:45]I like to imagine a sepia sexual.
[13:49]And their kink is those photos from like Deadwood and places like that,
[13:52]where they're like,
[13:53]Oh my God.
[13:53]When you go to the county fair and you get the pictures where you're the
[13:58]outlaws and now somebody's jerking into that.
[14:01]Cause they're a sepia sexual
[14:03]wanted by me for jacking off to give me those pictures of you at the fair.
[14:09]Did you guys ever do that with your family?
[14:14]Take a picture where you guys all look like outlaws.
[14:16]No,
[14:17]I,
[14:18]I,
[14:18]I put that with the people who got the guns and roses mirrors at the county
[14:22]fair for prizes.
[14:23]I put those people in the same things.
[14:25]And I know that there's people listening right now who have done it and I'm
[14:28]not making fun of you.
[14:29]Okay.
[14:30]But send those pictures to me.
[14:32]I got,
[14:32]I've got a new kink segment.
[14:34]I want to talk to you about,
[14:35]let's get into rolling going.
[14:37]Rolling going,
[14:41]Aaron,
[14:42]how is it going with you?
[14:43]It's going great.
[14:45]I,
[14:48]I'm going to change my mind about something.
[14:50]We've maybe talked about this on the,
[14:52]on the podcast.
[14:53]I know,
[14:53]uh,
[14:54]Matt is a person who is willing to take and make phone calls.
[14:59]And I've been not great about making phone calls to people I know,
[15:04]but today happens to be,
[15:06]uh,
[15:07]the anniversary of Prince's death.
[15:08]And so I texted a friend of a mutual friend of ours because,
[15:12]uh,
[15:12]we had,
[15:12]uh,
[15:13]we had,
[15:13]we had a previous text exchange about some lines from a movie.
[15:17]And so I texted him.
[15:18]I said,
[15:18]Hey,
[15:18]it's,
[15:18]it's Prince's death birthday today.
[15:20]And I'm an homage to Prince and to the great film,
[15:23]orange County,
[15:23]for those of you who are familiar.
[15:24]And he immediately called me and I answered the phone and it was delightful.
[15:31]He and his wife were heading out to dinner.
[15:33]We talked for like four minutes at the most.
[15:35]It was wonderful.
[15:36]And so I'm,
[15:37]I'm on board with phone calls to people to catch up briefly.
[15:41]And I know I've got,
[15:42]I've got,
[15:42]I have family members listening right now who I have not called in a long time.
[15:45]And they're probably like,
[15:45]yeah,
[15:45]why don't you give me a fucking call?
[15:47]And I'm going to,
[15:48]to turn over a new leaf about it because it's wonderful.
[15:50]And you can just like,
[15:51]you can have a four minute call and then be like,
[15:53]yeah,
[15:53]it's great to hear your voice moving on with your life.
[15:55]And I phone calls.
[15:57]I'm,
[15:57]I'm really coming around that.
[15:58]It's a wonderful technology.
[15:59]Aaron,
[16:00]can I tell you one thing?
[16:00]I'm a little sad that you and I didn't have a phone call.
[16:03]Okay.
[16:04]So I'm going to do something right now with the magic of this podcast.
[16:07]This is going to be the phone call about Prince between you and I.
[16:09]Okay.
[16:10]So call it and say what you said to the guy or whatever.
[16:13]All right.
[16:13]Hey,
[16:14]Hey Rob,
[16:15]you got to pick up the phone first.
[16:17]You fucking.
[16:18]Who's calling?
[16:18]Hello.
[16:20]Who is this?
[16:21]Yeah.
[16:23]Hey Rob,
[16:24]it's me.
[16:24]I was just calling to remind you that it's,
[16:25]it's like,
[16:26]it's Prince's like death birthday.
[16:28]Oh my God.
[16:29]That's a totally normal thing to call somebody about.
[16:30]Thank you so much for calling me.
[16:31]Uh,
[16:32]I can't remember.
[16:33]Do you remember?
[16:34]I mean,
[16:35]such a great memory.
[16:36]So many great songs.
[16:37]I remember when I went to that concert and you didn't Aaron and you,
[16:39]it's one of the great regrets of your life.
[16:41]I think that's a great thing to think about.
[16:42]What did,
[16:43]I can't remember that.
[16:43]What did Prince die of?
[16:44]I can't remember what that was.
[16:46]Fentanyl?
[16:48]Or is this going to be three?
[16:49]Give me mommy's milk.
[16:50]Give me mommy's milk.
[16:51]I want mommy's milk.
[16:52]Aaron.
[16:55]Oh,
[16:56]so cool.
[16:57]He was hovering over that for like two minutes right in front of you.
[16:59]You knew what he was going to do.
[17:00]I wasn't looking.
[17:02]I was focused on Rob's face.
[17:03]He's just hovering over Vincent Price for two minutes.
[17:06]And scene.
[17:07]Our improv school is going great.
[17:09]That was better than the last few we've had.
[17:11]So that's it.
[17:12]I'm,
[17:12]I'm,
[17:12]I'm pro phone calls now.
[17:14]When I get calls though,
[17:15]sometimes it scares me.
[17:16]I worry something bad is happening.
[17:18]Me too.
[17:19]Yeah,
[17:19]me too.
[17:20]So,
[17:20]so I'm going to,
[17:21]I'm trying to change that,
[17:22]that neural pathway.
[17:23]Oh,
[17:24]you think Prince nine is good.
[17:25]Wow.
[17:27]That's weird,
[17:27]Aaron,
[17:27]but it was a text message and then a phone call in response to the text
[17:32]message.
[17:32]It wasn't a phone call out of the blue,
[17:35]the phone call out of the blue.
[17:36]If,
[17:36]if,
[17:36]if I just got a call from Rob,
[17:37]it would scare me.
[17:38]I would be worried.
[17:39]Something,
[17:39]something bad has happened.
[17:41]You'd be like,
[17:41]maybe I put it to the voicemail because I don't want it to ruin my day.
[17:45]I'm stuck in this hole.
[17:48]I'm stuck in this hole in the gas station.
[17:48]Do not ask me any questions about it.
[17:50]The password for Beck did it better is one,
[17:54]two,
[17:54]three,
[17:55]four.
[17:56]My car is stolen.
[17:57]My car is stolen.
[18:00]Oh no.
[18:01]So the problem is you got to just,
[18:03]you got to get good at being able to get off the phone.
[18:06]Right.
[18:06]Cause right.
[18:06]You'll answer the phone.
[18:07]Right.
[18:08]But like if somebody's calling,
[18:09]somebody's on a 20 minute drive.
[18:10]Yep.
[18:11]They,
[18:11]they could care less to get off the phone.
[18:13]They're just going to keep talking.
[18:15]No,
[18:15]you know,
[18:16]Oh geez.
[18:16]Hold on a sec.
[18:17]And,
[18:18]oh,
[18:18]you know,
[18:18]well,
[18:19]yeah,
[18:19]you know,
[18:20]yeah,
[18:20]I think we'll go to that,
[18:21]that show this weekend.
[18:22]And you know,
[18:23]I'm not sure if we'll have time,
[18:24]you know,
[18:24]they'll just ramble on for it.
[18:26]And you know that they've got nothing to do,
[18:28]right?
[18:28]You might,
[18:29]you might answer the phone just to see.
[18:31]Cause again,
[18:31]you might be worried.
[18:32]Why is somebody calling me?
[18:33]You gotta be,
[18:34]you gotta just,
[18:35]you gotta perfect the art of getting off the phone.
[18:37]Cause it is nice to talk to people,
[18:39]especially you haven't talked to him in a while.
[18:40]You gotta get off.
[18:41]Man,
[18:41]what's your go-to move to get off the phone?
[18:43]What's the go-to?
[18:44]You have to find,
[18:45]you have,
[18:45]you have to find the crack,
[18:48]right?
[18:48]In their conversation.
[18:50]And then you just can't stop talking.
[18:52]Right?
[18:52]So Rob,
[18:53]just,
[18:53]just ramble on about weightlifting.
[18:56]So the other day I went down and I was,
[18:59]I have to work on my,
[19:00]my snatch.
[19:01]Actually,
[19:01]it's not getting up quite high enough for me to snatch.
[19:03]Oh,
[19:03]that's good.
[19:04]Yeah.
[19:04]You know,
[19:04]I mean,
[19:05]that's a pretty good,
[19:06]that's a pretty good thing.
[19:07]I hope best,
[19:07]best of luck on that one.
[19:09]You know,
[19:09]Hey,
[19:09]I got to run.
[19:10]I got to get this.
[19:10]So I'll talk to you soon.
[19:13]Good luck.
[19:13]Best of luck.
[19:14]And we'll,
[19:14]we'll catch up with you on the Instagram.
[19:16]Did you say,
[19:17]did you say snatch reminds me?
[19:18]I'm late for one of my hook,
[19:19]hooking appointments.
[19:20]I got to go.
[19:21]It's just masterful.
[19:22]Yeah,
[19:23]that was.
[19:24]So you can't let them come back in.
[19:27]You have to just overpower them and then say,
[19:30]Hey,
[19:30]I got to run,
[19:31]you know,
[19:31]good to talk to you.
[19:32]We'll catch up with you soon.
[19:33]All right.
[19:33]All right.
[19:34]Take care.
[19:34]Who ends it?
[19:35]If you call and then you end a call,
[19:37]like you do an abrupt ending,
[19:39]doesn't that make you an asshole?
[19:41]No,
[19:42]everybody's not.
[19:42]There's nothing to talk about.
[19:44]Everybody's thankful.
[19:44]The call has to end at some point.
[19:46]Yeah.
[19:46]Who loses?
[19:47]Who loses in that scenario?
[19:48]Oh no.
[19:49]A short phone call.
[19:50]What a disaster said.
[19:51]Nobody ever.
[19:52]They loved.
[19:52]Everybody loves short phone calls.
[19:54]It's great.
[19:54]Everybody wins.
[19:55]Yeah.
[19:56]Not everybody.
[19:57]Well,
[19:59]how's it rolling going with Russell?
[20:01]Russell,
[20:01]are you losing anything right now?
[20:02]Rolling going.
[20:03]Things are going really well.
[20:05]I actually had a question for you.
[20:07]We've talked a lot about like bartending style,
[20:09]going to the bar,
[20:09]how you do things.
[20:10]I had a question for you guys.
[20:12]If you go to the bar,
[20:14]you sit at the bar,
[20:14]would you rather have a bartender
[20:17]that is social and fun to interact with
[20:19]or a bartender that makes better drinks?
[20:21]What's your choice?
[20:22]Better,
[20:24]better drinks,
[20:24]better drinks.
[20:25]Who would know?
[20:25]Nobody wants to talk to a bartender ever.
[20:27]Forget about it.
[20:28]So I've had this thing recently where a while back,
[20:33]the Star Tribune had an article about the best espresso martinis in
[20:37]Minneapolis.
[20:37]God,
[20:38]you're still on this shit.
[20:39]Just doing Russell fan service.
[20:42]The article after that was best bidets to buy.
[20:44]When you're drinking espresso martini after espresso martini.
[20:48]Yes.
[20:49]So one of the bars they listed is a,
[20:52]as a restaurant in downtown called FEMA.
[20:54]It's kind of a nicer restaurant.
[20:55]I think it's relatively new,
[20:57]but I,
[20:58]I went in there once with a martini drinker.
[21:00]We've sat down and we said,
[21:03]Hey,
[21:03]we came in here cause we noticed that the Star Tribune had made a note of
[21:07]it.
[21:08]And the head bartender was there.
[21:09]It was kind of quieter,
[21:10]but he came up and he started talking about how he makes them that the
[21:13]article was really cool.
[21:14]We kind of got,
[21:14]we got into this discussion,
[21:15]but he was kind of a quieter guy or anything,
[21:18]not like super outgoing,
[21:19]but he made an amazing,
[21:20]amazing espresso martini.
[21:22]It just was really good.
[21:23]Right.
[21:23]And he gave you enough information that you were still like,
[21:27]you went away happy.
[21:28]Yes.
[21:28]He gave,
[21:29]he,
[21:29]he spoke to you and everything,
[21:30]but he didn't overpower anything.
[21:32]He just served the drinks.
[21:34]He asked if you enjoyed them,
[21:35]talked a little bit about it and whatever.
[21:37]And then it was done.
[21:38]Saying less is actually more.
[21:39]And that's something I often say.
[21:41]Somebody very smart said that.
[21:44]Albert Einstein.
[21:47]So a while back then we were like,
[21:49]we got to go get these again.
[21:50]It's a,
[21:51]it's a fun spot.
[21:52]We want to drink these again.
[21:52]And we went in and this was months ago and we had a different bartender.
[21:56]This bartender was much more engaging,
[21:59]fun.
[22:00]He had like a glow in the dark bow tie,
[22:02]just a fun person and everything.
[22:04]And we said,
[22:05]oh,
[22:05]we're going to do the espresso martini.
[22:06]And he goes,
[22:07]just so you know,
[22:08]I make them my own a different way.
[22:11]Cause we kind of said,
[22:11]oh,
[22:11]we know you guys have the best ones.
[22:13]And he goes,
[22:13]I make them a different way.
[22:14]I'm just giving you a heads up.
[22:16]We're like,
[22:16]it shouldn't be allowed.
[22:16]Okay.
[22:17]Okay.
[22:17]Whatever.
[22:18]So he makes them different than the way that the star tribune has said.
[22:22]They make the best ones.
[22:24]What do you think of that?
[22:26]That what is he doing?
[22:27]What is he?
[22:28]You don't get to just go rogue.
[22:30]If it's the place's signature cocktail.
[22:31]Imagine bullshit.
[22:33]Isn't it?
[22:33]You go to McDonald's and you get tater tots.
[22:35]You'd be furious.
[22:36]I mean,
[22:37]this is you.
[22:37]When you do something the best,
[22:39]you have to keep doing it like that forever and ever.
[22:41]And that's why this podcast is not stopping until we are at 500.
[22:44]So we've been back there probably three,
[22:47]four times.
[22:47]We've probably been there four times in the last,
[22:49]I don't know,
[22:49]six months or something like that.
[22:51]And occasionally we'll walk in and we'll see which bartenders are there.
[22:56]And we're like excited for the one bartender or we're devastated for the
[23:00]other one.
[23:01]And,
[23:02]and the last time we were sitting there and we were drinking,
[23:05]we got one and the guy made him his way.
[23:07]And it's not a bad drink or anything.
[23:08]It's just not what you went,
[23:10]you go there for.
[23:11]Right.
[23:11]Yeah.
[23:12]And so at one point,
[23:13]one of the other bartenders,
[23:14]came around,
[23:15]neither of the two that have served us before.
[23:17]And she kind of,
[23:19]we go,
[23:20]Oh,
[23:20]we're going to get another espresso martini.
[23:21]And she goes,
[23:22]do you want to get them from the other guy?
[23:23]Like she knew,
[23:24]she knew what was going on.
[23:26]And we said,
[23:27]yes.
[23:28]And she's like,
[23:29]I'll go,
[23:29]I'll go talk to him.
[23:30]I'll get it.
[23:30]And so we're waiting.
[23:32]We get all excited.
[23:33]The bad bartender overpowered.
[23:36]He came back over the top again.
[23:38]And he's like,
[23:38]these are my customers.
[23:40]I'm making them my way.
[23:41]And like,
[23:41]even when we've said like,
[23:43]Oh,
[23:43]we really like yours,
[23:44]but we don't like yours.
[23:44]We like the way the other guy,
[23:45]he won't do it the other way.
[23:46]What,
[23:47]what do you think?
[23:48]That's just crap.
[23:48]Isn't it?
[23:49]Can't go back there anymore,
[23:50]man.
[23:50]That's a bummer.
[23:51]Russell.
[23:51]That's a disaster.
[23:52]I,
[23:52]and how many,
[23:54]there's only one FEMA in Minneapolis,
[23:55]right?
[23:56]Yes.
[23:56]I'm like seventh and Hennepin.
[23:58]Yes.
[23:59]Kind of right around the corner.
[24:00]Right.
[24:00]F H I M a.
[24:01]Yeah.
[24:02]You got it.
[24:02]Oh yeah.
[24:03]So downtown right off.
[24:05]And so the,
[24:06]the bartender is very engaging.
[24:07]He's very fun,
[24:08]but he's like gone out of his way to not make a drink a certain way that
[24:13]see,
[24:14]I would,
[24:14]want it ordered.
[24:15]Can't you like tell this dude finally,
[24:18]like,
[24:18]is he a nice guy or is he kind of a D bag?
[24:20]I got to watch what I say.
[24:22]He is a nice guy,
[24:25]but I also think like,
[24:27]Hey,
[24:27]if you take pride in like your work or something and people are asking you to
[24:31]do it differently,
[24:32]some people might not enjoy that.
[24:34]I don't know.
[24:34]Very similar,
[24:35]but very different,
[24:37]but kind of similar.
[24:38]Like my,
[24:38]I think you guys know my barber has been in jail for the last two years.
[24:43]My barber for 10 years.
[24:44]Have we talked about that?
[24:44]Have we talked about this?
[24:45]And so I had to find a new barber.
[24:46]No,
[24:47]we have not talked about this.
[24:48]I don't think we knew that your barber was in jail.
[24:49]No,
[24:49]we've not discussed.
[24:49]Is this the guy you used to see?
[24:50]Is this the guy you used to see down in Seville?
[24:52]What?
[24:54]That's a sapiosexual bit.
[24:56]It is?
[24:58]Barber.
[24:59]There's something there that I don't remember.
[25:01]The barber of Seville?
[25:02]Yeah.
[25:03]You guys,
[25:05]I am not fucking any of you.
[25:06]Right.
[25:08]So I've talked about,
[25:09]right?
[25:09]Like go to a barber,
[25:10]go to like somebody who actually is a barber,
[25:14]not like some chick who just got there.
[25:17]You know,
[25:17]man,
[25:18]we know what a barber is.
[25:19]Tell us why he's in jail.
[25:21]That is what we're waiting for.
[25:22]Why is he in jail?
[25:23]He got like a,
[25:25]you know,
[25:25]a couple of D dubs or something.
[25:27]He finally just,
[25:28]you know,
[25:28]had enough time to go to jail.
[25:30]I think he's finally,
[25:30]I think he got out.
[25:31]He didn't like take a straight racer to someone or anything.
[25:32]Yeah.
[25:32]But like,
[25:33]so I was going to Dick's barber in Richfield where Dick was there.
[25:36]Dick has been there since 1962.
[25:38]And I had like his last five years and a guy bought it from him.
[25:42]This is the guy.
[25:43]He had it for like 10 years.
[25:44]He's the one who went to jail.
[25:45]So then all of a sudden,
[25:45]no barber.
[25:46]I got to find a new barber.
[25:47]Right.
[25:48]And so the next logical shop around here is this place called Dick's barber in Edina.
[25:54]Not completely set.
[25:55]Dick's sports barber in Edina.
[25:56]44th in France.
[25:58]If you know where that is,
[25:59]Russell,
[25:59]I mean,
[26:00]it's kind of down from 50th in France.
[26:02]A little bit bougie to be going to a barber.
[26:03]It is pretty bougie.
[26:05]There's like a snap fitness.
[26:06]And yeah.
[26:07]Are they serving you like champagne while you're getting your hair cut there,
[26:09]Matt?
[26:09]And so,
[26:10]no,
[26:10]this place has been there since the 60s,
[26:12]right?
[26:12]But they've got eight barbers.
[26:14]There are eight barbers.
[26:16]So I start with the oldest guy.
[26:17]This guy,
[26:18]he is like,
[26:20]you're going to 10 minute haircut,
[26:21]no matter what.
[26:22]In and out,
[26:22]ship,
[26:22]ship,
[26:23]boom,
[26:23]boom,
[26:24]go.
[26:24]Right.
[26:24]So I got it.
[26:25]I got it twice.
[26:26]Not my kind of style.
[26:27]So then I went to the other guy,
[26:28]next oldest one.
[26:29]He took 40 minutes.
[26:31]Not my style.
[26:32]Went to the new guy.
[26:33]So I've,
[26:33]I've worked my way through like seven of the eight barbers.
[26:36]And I find on the seventh one,
[26:38]I finally found my guy,
[26:39]Brooklyn.
[26:39]Great guy.
[26:40]Talks about fishing all the time.
[26:41]Right.
[26:42]But,
[26:43]you know,
[26:43]it's kind of,
[26:44]it's very similar,
[26:44]right?
[26:44]So I go in and now I see all these guys who cut my hair and whether they remember me or
[26:48]not,
[26:48]but I walk right by him because I've gotten like two haircuts by each of them,
[26:52]but I want my fucking haircut.
[26:55]How are my fucking haircut?
[26:56]Right.
[26:56]And so you should get your fucking espresso martini,
[26:59]how you want your fucking espresso martini.
[27:01]Right.
[27:02]And so you should have full right to say like,
[27:04]Hey,
[27:04]you know,
[27:05]Hey bud,
[27:06]you know,
[27:06]great,
[27:06]great talking to you,
[27:07]but I want that guy to make my martini.
[27:10]Right.
[27:10]And he shouldn't be,
[27:12]but heard about it.
[27:14]But then isn't it?
[27:15]What?
[27:15]It's kind of tough to sit at the bar after you do that though,
[27:18]isn't it?
[27:19]Well,
[27:19]I mean,
[27:20]but then it isn't as soon as you do,
[27:22]as soon as you just throw that out there,
[27:23]right?
[27:23]Like you got to take that step to just say,
[27:25]Hey,
[27:26]I'm going to get my espresso martini from that guy.
[27:28]I really like you make yours different.
[27:30]Great.
[27:30]I really like how he makes his,
[27:32]he makes his little different than you.
[27:33]I like his,
[27:34]I'm going to get it.
[27:34]I'm paying $12 or whatever it is for this thing.
[27:37]Probably more than that.
[27:38]You know,
[27:39]I'm going to get it from the guy that I want to get it from.
[27:41]I don't know,
[27:42]man.
[27:42]This is a tour de force.
[27:43]That was your smart comment of the week.
[27:45]Okay.
[27:47]That was Matt's smart comment of the week.
[27:49]Ooh,
[27:50]that's a smart comment.
[27:51]Once you realize,
[27:51]you know,
[27:52]like again,
[27:52]you and I,
[27:53]Russ,
[27:53]we're both,
[27:53]we're both,
[27:54]what are we?
[27:54]Walkers,
[27:55]not talkers kind of a thing.
[27:56]You know,
[27:57]we'll walk out,
[27:58]but there's a few things like for me,
[28:01]it's a haircut,
[28:01]you know?
[28:02]And if it's,
[28:03]if it's an espresso martini for you,
[28:05]right?
[28:05]Like draw a couple lines in the sand and just see what happens.
[28:07]I appreciate that,
[28:08]Matt.
[28:08]Cause when you say like,
[28:09]I'm definitely a walker when it comes to this stuff,
[28:12]like I'm not one to say like,
[28:13]I don't want your drink to a bartender.
[28:15]And I will say when I go out with a martini fan at times,
[28:20]if we have a couple of them,
[28:21]people,
[28:22]including myself tend to get louder,
[28:24]more boisterous about what they're looking for or whatever.
[28:28]And sometimes you can tell,
[28:29]like we're over at the corner of the bar and it's,
[28:32]the conversation is rising about what the fuck is this guy doing?
[28:36]Why didn't the other guy bring us the espresso martini?
[28:39]And you kind of got to watch it.
[28:41]Cause it's like,
[28:41]I,
[28:42]I don't want to be that person at the bar.
[28:43]And then they,
[28:44]and then you shush them cause they're talking so loudly and they get mad at
[28:46]you and you say,
[28:47]ah,
[28:47]we went to Hamilton last week.
[28:49]You can't be mad at me about this.
[28:50]Well,
[28:51]like that bartender,
[28:52]the bartender cannot be,
[28:54]if you,
[28:54]especially if you're just a nice person,
[28:56]right?
[28:56]And you're a nice person,
[28:57]Russell,
[28:57]right?
[28:57]So if you're just like,
[28:59]Hey,
[28:59]I like how he makes his espresso martinis.
[29:01]I'm going to,
[29:01]I'm going to,
[29:02]I'm going to get it from him.
[29:03]Like,
[29:03]what can he say?
[29:04]You know,
[29:04]if you're being nice about it.
[29:05]What do you think Rob Aaron?
[29:06]Report back next week.
[29:08]I would never in a million years do it.
[29:09]Matt's right.
[29:10]But I would never do it ever.
[29:11]I would sit there and the guy would be like,
[29:12]I pissed in this glass and I throw it on your date's face.
[29:15]I'd be like,
[29:15]yeah,
[29:15]I guess that's our future.
[29:16]Now this is what we do.
[29:17]I am a coward.
[29:18]Russell.
[29:19]I would order something different if it were.
[29:21]Yeah.
[29:21]I mean,
[29:21]and we do that.
[29:22]Like,
[29:22]like we,
[29:23]you know,
[29:23]there's one place where we go where it's like,
[29:25]Oh,
[29:25]well,
[29:25]if Julia's working,
[29:26]we'll get into grony.
[29:27]If not,
[29:27]we'll get something else.
[29:28]Like,
[29:28]yeah,
[29:29]I would,
[29:29]I would not.
[29:30]Matt,
[29:31]I love your advice.
[29:38]You have tried to get this past us and don't think that this guy who is very smart.
[29:44]Okay.
[29:45]And loves dating smart people figured out something.
[29:47]You don't drink coffee,
[29:49]Russell.
[29:50]You are a noted non-coffee drinker yet.
[29:53]You are out hammering espresso martini after espresso martini.
[29:58]Russell,
[29:59]this does not compute.
[30:01]Okay.
[30:02]I chat.
[30:03]I typed this in the chat GBT and it just said WTF.
[30:06]Russell,
[30:06]explain yourself.
[30:07]You know what?
[30:08]I think some people,
[30:09]I'm not a coffee drinker,
[30:11]but espresso martinis.
[30:12]If some people add a little bit of sweetness to it,
[30:15]I really enjoy it.
[30:16]And I think that's what the one guy does.
[30:18]I don't know if it's Irish cream or whatever he adds in it.
[30:20]That adds a little sweetness to it.
[30:22]That.
[30:23]So I know people that are coffee drinkers and they like heavier espresso type flavor drinks,
[30:28]right?
[30:29]Like they want to make sure it's got to be real espresso.
[30:31]It's got to be heavy on that.
[30:32]I like the sweeter one,
[30:34]but that's why the guy,
[30:35]the other guy makes it.
[30:36]He doesn't make it the way I want it made.
[30:37]Well,
[30:38]like I went to Edo Russell.
[30:40]Have you been to Edo before?
[30:41]It's on Washington and,
[30:43]uh,
[30:45]what is the street?
[30:46]Charm.
[30:47]Charm is at home with their partner opening a triple a map right now.
[30:50]I'm being like,
[30:50]I love this shit.
[30:51]Matt,
[30:51]can you give us a zip code too while we're at it?
[30:53]Jesus Christ.
[30:54]Five,
[30:55]five,
[30:55]one.
[30:56]Okay.
[30:57]I wasn't going to play it again,
[30:58]but you're making it.
[30:59]Five,
[30:59]five,
[30:59]four,
[30:59]one,
[30:59]five.
[31:00]It's getting close.
[31:00]Like it's right across from the,
[31:02]from the depot.
[31:02]Okay.
[31:03]2.7 miles is the crow flies.
[31:05]I believe.
[31:05]So it's this fancy,
[31:06]it's a fancy,
[31:07]great place,
[31:08]they make pizzas.
[31:09]And so I'm like,
[31:10]Oh,
[31:10]I've got to try the pizza.
[31:11]It was horrible.
[31:13]I mean,
[31:13]I ate it.
[31:14]Right.
[31:14]But like I,
[31:15]it compared to everything else compared to Lola compared to,
[31:18]you know,
[31:19]any,
[31:19]everything else.
[31:20]It was just not a good pizza.
[31:22]Right.
[31:22]Screw that.
[31:22]And I cannot wait until I have enough money where I can have four bites of
[31:26]that thing and then just order something else and not throw it away.
[31:29]I can save it for lunch the next day.
[31:30]But like,
[31:31]if you're out for dinner,
[31:31]you want to have something that tastes good.
[31:33]Right.
[31:34]And I think it's the same exact thing.
[31:35]I love this math.
[31:36]Matt is called,
[31:38]Matt is cultivating his love to go out guy every night.
[31:41]This is great.
[31:42]We're getting closer and closer to the man eating out every day.
[31:44]But I will save it for lunch.
[31:46]But I've gotten to the point too,
[31:47]right?
[31:47]Like I've gotten to the point where I,
[31:48]for breakfast,
[31:49]I'm eating like nothing,
[31:50]right?
[31:51]Like I'll have like a bar knowing that I'm going out to dinner tonight.
[31:53]And then at lunch,
[31:54]I've got like just this nice light,
[31:56]completely plain sandwich,
[31:58]or maybe not even a sandwich,
[31:59]right?
[31:59]Knowing I'm going to go out and have a effing pizza.
[32:01]Right.
[32:02]And so you build that whole thing up and then you go have pizza and it's
[32:07]horrible.
[32:07]And you're like,
[32:07]God,
[32:08]damn it.
[32:08]You know,
[32:08]like,
[32:09]come on.
[32:09]So I don't know.
[32:10]I,
[32:10]I,
[32:11]I am very sensitive to your,
[32:14]your issue here,
[32:15]Russell.
[32:15]And I think you should at least just try to be nice to the guy once and
[32:18]say,
[32:18]Hey,
[32:19]you know,
[32:19]I want to try that guys.
[32:20]Cause he's a little,
[32:21]cause if you tell him this is a little sweeter,
[32:23]he's going to know exactly what you're talking about and he'll get it.
[32:26]I think what has happened though,
[32:27]is his,
[32:28]he's come over the top on us at before.
[32:30]Like we've kind of mentioned the first time,
[32:32]like,
[32:32]Oh,
[32:33]could we have it made that way?
[32:35]And he was like,
[32:35]why make them this way?
[32:37]And he kind of just,
[32:37]smacked us down.
[32:39]Does that make sense?
[32:40]Yeah.
[32:40]You gotta,
[32:40]you gotta end that phone call though.
[32:42]You gotta just keep talking.
[32:43]Don't give him a crack.
[32:44]And then start talking a little louder and a little louder and a little
[32:46]louder and don't give him a crack.
[32:47]Hey Matt,
[32:48]Matt,
[32:48]I gotta get,
[32:49]end this.
[32:49]Just keep going.
[32:50]Just don't let it go.
[32:51]Don't let that person talk.
[32:52]Rolling going,
[32:53]Matt.
[32:54]How's it going with you?
[32:55]I ended that rolling going.
[32:57]How's it going with you?
[32:58]You ended it really,
[32:59]really well.
[33:00]I forgot last week.
[33:02]I,
[33:02]I've been trying to figure out like kind of a new song,
[33:05]new group to me,
[33:07]more than anything over the next that,
[33:10]you know,
[33:10]that I've heard during the week.
[33:11]So I've got two of them this week.
[33:13]Two.
[33:13]The first one.
[33:15]Yeah.
[33:16]The first one's a song called heavy bells by a group called J Roddy
[33:19]Walston and the business,
[33:21]which I think is a phenomenal name for a band.
[33:24]I love it.
[33:24]Oh,
[33:24]this video rocks too.
[33:25]Look at these.
[33:26]Any,
[33:26]any person name with the,
[33:28]the someone after is the group is great.
[33:31]Right.
[33:31]So watch these guys.
[33:32]Oh,
[33:33]here we go.
[33:34]Like if our podcast was called Robin,
[33:36]the Oli's,
[33:36]it would be a great podcast.
[33:37]It's true.
[33:38]Actually,
[33:38]this,
[33:39]this band is very pixie ish,
[33:42]if you will.
[33:42]Like there's a bunch,
[33:43]there's a few songs on this pixie album that we're listening to.
[33:46]Yeah.
[33:46]I would sound kind of like this band,
[33:48]but these guys,
[33:50]I was,
[33:50]I was hard.
[33:51]I thought they were a new band.
[33:52]You know,
[33:52]I heard him on 89 three,
[33:53]the current,
[33:54]and I heard him.
[33:55]So I'm like,
[33:55]Oh yes,
[33:56]this is going to be great.
[33:56]This is exactly what I want to hear.
[33:58]Well,
[33:59]they were like a early mid two thousands.
[34:01]They broke up in 2019 or something like that.
[34:04]So they're no longer around.
[34:05]So I can't see him live.
[34:06]So it's too bad.
[34:07]Next band.
[34:08]I,
[34:09]I,
[34:09]I texted.
[34:10]I got a sneak preview of this thing.
[34:12]Holy shit.
[34:13]I said,
[34:13]if you want to,
[34:14]if you want to go for a ride,
[34:15]Rosie,
[34:16]listen to the song.
[34:16]I think it's like 13,
[34:17]18 minutes long.
[34:19]Yeah.
[34:19]You know,
[34:20]this song,
[34:21]this is King Gizzard and the lizard wizard.
[34:23]Again,
[34:24]another great name.
[34:25]Awesome name for a band,
[34:27]but they're Australian.
[34:28]They're in the psychedelic rock,
[34:30]kind of a jam bandy type thing.
[34:32]But listen,
[34:33]one of their band members,
[34:34]that guy named geezer from last week.
[34:36]I don't know.
[34:37]I don't think he's your butler.
[34:38]But like this thing is an 18 minute song
[34:43]and it is a wild ride.
[34:46]I cannot listen to it enough.
[34:47]And so I,
[34:49]everybody should go out and listen to King wizard,
[34:51]King Gizzard and the lizard wizard.
[34:53]They're,
[34:54]they're kind of all over the place as a band.
[34:55]They've got some really soft,
[34:56]they kind of remind me of Pearl Jam a little bit.
[34:58]They got some really soft songs
[34:59]and they get into these really hard rock songs.
[35:01]And so those are my two new bands to me.
[35:04]Anyways,
[35:05]for the week,
[35:05]King Gizzard,
[35:07]King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard
[35:08]and then J.
[35:08]Roddy Walston and the Business.
[35:10]So that's my recommendations.
[35:12]Can't go wrong with names like that.
[35:14]I have been,
[35:16]you know,
[35:17]I ran a marathon last year,
[35:19]kind of got hurt to my,
[35:20]my knee and my calf.
[35:22]You know,
[35:22]I think I overran a little bit.
[35:24]And so this year has been the year of taking classes for me.
[35:28]So I'm a member of Lifetime.
[35:30]Yep.
[35:30]And I've started taking all sorts of classes,
[35:32]right?
[35:32]I got a kettlebell class.
[35:33]I've got a,
[35:34]I've got a warrior sculpt class.
[35:37]I've been doing yoga once a week with an Oli,
[35:39]a Kari,
[35:40]former basketball and a softball player from St.
[35:45]Olaf.
[35:45]She's,
[35:45]she's my yoga instructor.
[35:47]Great person,
[35:48]but I've gotten really into this podcast.
[35:51]I did not.
[35:52]I don't tell anybody about the podcast.
[35:54]Nobody.
[35:56]It's really good.
[35:57]Nobody whatsoever.
[35:58]That's kind of disappointing.
[36:00]Just,
[36:00]just,
[36:01]yeah.
[36:01]Just imagine going up to somebody and saying,
[36:03]Hey,
[36:03]listen to my podcast.
[36:04]It's really good.
[36:05]And try not to laugh.
[36:05]Like I couldn't even say it seriously.
[36:06]They're like,
[36:07]Hey,
[36:07]it's really good.
[36:08]You can't do it with your downward dog.
[36:10]I've got one motivate twice,
[36:14]maybe even three times a week.
[36:15]I take something called amp cycle,
[36:17]which is essentially a spin class to like really,
[36:20]it's like dance music,
[36:22]right?
[36:22]And these teachers and it's all dance stuff.
[36:25]It's your up and down your left and right,
[36:27]you know,
[36:27]and you're two up,
[36:28]two down,
[36:29]you know,
[36:29]square all this stuff.
[36:30]And essentially it's a dance class on a,
[36:32]on a bike.
[36:33]And my motivation guys is that one day,
[36:36]one day,
[36:37]all,
[36:38]all of us on the,
[36:39]on the text chain,
[36:40]all the oldies,
[36:40]everybody is,
[36:41]we're going to have a big dance party again sometime.
[36:43]And every time the thing that gets me from like here,
[36:47]you know,
[36:48]it takes me from a 10 to an 11 is,
[36:50]it gets me really hitting on all those dance moves is the thought that one
[36:54]day we're all going to be on the dance floor again.
[36:56]And it's going to be for a very special occasion.
[36:59]And so I'm just,
[37:00]I'm getting prepared for it.
[37:01]I'm getting prepared for that.
[37:03]We should all be getting prepared for that.
[37:04]We should all be thinking about,
[37:06]the type of occasion where that could happen.
[37:09]I know we can get it.
[37:10]Yeah.
[37:10]We should all be working on this.
[37:12]And so I've been working on my moves and I,
[37:14]and I'm,
[37:15]and I'm getting ready.
[37:15]I mean,
[37:16]there's some,
[37:16]we've got some pretty good dancers.
[37:17]It's a weird man because I've been,
[37:19]I was working on my dance moves.
[37:20]I don't know,
[37:21]six to nine months ago because I was convinced it was going to happen over
[37:24]last summer.
[37:25]You did.
[37:26]Yeah,
[37:26]I really was,
[37:27]but
[37:28]it was still more time to perfect them.
[37:31]My kids,
[37:31]I'm sure you're the only one.
[37:33]My kids were like,
[37:33]Oh,
[37:33]you're talking about how fun that is.
[37:34]It hasn't happened yet,
[37:35]Papa.
[37:35]And I'm like,
[37:36]I don't know.
[37:37]I mean,
[37:37]I think,
[37:37]I think we need to maybe on the text chain,
[37:40]figure out how we can all get,
[37:42]maybe it's going to a cabin.
[37:43]I don't know.
[37:44]It doesn't really sound all that exciting,
[37:45]you know,
[37:46]just having a dance.
[37:47]It must be something we can do.
[37:47]We got to figure out some way to do it.
[37:49]Who will be the hero?
[37:50]Who will save us?
[37:52]Who will save us?
[37:53]Who's going to save us?
[37:54]Who's going to bring us all together?
[37:55]To have an event to bring us all together.
[37:57]So we can have that epic party,
[37:58]dance party.
[38:00]Everybody could show off.
[38:00]I mean,
[38:01]cause you know,
[38:01]we've got some pretty good dancers in our group.
[38:04]And we all get to sit in the limo.
[38:06]And it's not a big deal.
[38:07]And it's actually not cool.
[38:08]If we do a joke.
[38:09]Oh, there's going to be a limo at this party?
[38:10]Okay.
[38:10]Yeah.
[38:11]You know,
[38:11]like I like this.
[38:12]I like it.
[38:12]There's going to be a limo.
[38:13]And we all get to sit in the back this time.
[38:15]Cause we're older and we can actually afford bigger limos now.
[38:17]Oh God.
[38:18]That's the other thing.
[38:19]Remember all those,
[38:20]all the air conditioning,
[38:21]all the way through the whole limo.
[38:22]If you think of typical,
[38:23]typical times we do that,
[38:25]we're,
[38:25]we're at weddings,
[38:26]you know,
[38:26]back in the day and everybody.
[38:27]Oh,
[38:28]that's a great idea.
[38:28]Yeah.
[38:29]God,
[38:30]that's pretty good.
[38:31]So,
[38:36]would you go,
[38:37]would you go to that wedding dance,
[38:39]Matt?
[38:39]If Rob invited you,
[38:40]if I got invited,
[38:41]you know what?
[38:42]I think I went to 42 weddings in three years.
[38:45]And I have,
[38:46]I've been to like one every three years now over the last,
[38:49]you know,
[38:49]kind of a deal.
[38:50]I'd go to,
[38:51]if Rob was married to Sexton,
[38:52]hell yeah,
[38:52]I'd be at that wedding.
[38:53]I'd go to any wedding these days.
[38:55]If I got invited,
[38:55]I'm going to put the intercom one on there.
[38:57]I'm going to put a bunch of reverb on this.
[39:00]So it sounds like it's a wedding announcer.
[39:01]Everybody,
[39:02]please welcome Rob and Roberta.
[39:05]Out for their first dance.
[39:06]I don't know.
[39:06]I don't know.
[39:06]I don't know.
[39:06]I don't know.
[39:06]I don't know.
[39:06]I don't know.
[39:06]I don't know.
[39:06]I don't know.
[39:06]I don't know.
[39:06]I don't know.
[39:06]I don't know.
[39:06]I don't know.
[39:06]I don't know.
[39:06]I don't know.
[39:06]I don't know.
[39:06]I don't know.
[39:07]I don't know.
[39:07]I don't know.
[39:07]I don't know.
[39:07]I don't know.
[39:07]I don't know.
[39:07]I don't know.
[39:07]I don't know.
[39:07]I don't know.
[39:08]I don't know.
[39:08]He's playing his own instrument again.
[39:16]I'll be stroking.
[39:18]He's playing all the instruments.
[39:19]That's what I've been doing.
[39:21]I'll be stroking.
[39:21]I'll be stroking.
[39:22]Hey,
[39:24]the reason I have to dance with her in an office chair is that she weighs almost 350
[39:28]pounds.
[39:28]Now,
[39:28]you might wonder,
[39:30]how do all of us know that sex dolls are extremely heavy?
[39:33]That's a weird thing to answer,
[39:36]isn't it?
[39:36]My real doll is very heavy.
[39:39]That's my favorite part.
[39:40]When you watch like those HBO shows of those guys were like fucking the real dolls.
[39:43]They were always so heavy.
[39:45]They would show the guys.
[39:46]What the fuck are you talking about?
[39:48]Listen,
[39:49]there's a show on HBO called Real Sex and they would always show like people dressed up as
[39:53]horses and like,
[39:54]it was like nudity,
[39:55]but they were like weird nudes.
[39:56]So it was like,
[39:57]it was like a challenge mode.
[39:59]It was kind of like,
[39:59]this is an old person nudist society,
[40:03]but I guess I could jerk it to this.
[40:04]And one of them was,
[40:07]and one of them was,
[40:08]they showed the people that had sex dolls and they were like,
[40:11]talk about their sex dolls.
[40:12]And it was like,
[40:13]you know,
[40:13]there was like relationships and it was sweet.
[40:15]And then they would have to move these things and they have to like put a full grab on them.
[40:19]And then they go,
[40:20]they have to lift them because they're so heavy.
[40:23]That's why they're always like,
[40:24]you don't,
[40:24]you never see him like moving them around.
[40:26]Rob,
[40:27]is this your work computer again?
[40:28]Are you Googling this?
[40:29]How much does this real sex doll weigh?
[40:31]Okay.
[40:32]How much is a real doll weigh?
[40:33]Let's look.
[40:33]Oh God.
[40:34]Now we're on the dog.
[40:35]Let's see.
[40:36]They range from 90 pounds to 120 pounds.
[40:39]Oh,
[40:39]geez.
[40:40]Guess what?
[40:41]120 pounds.
[40:42]Too much for me.
[40:43]Like I'm dead weight.
[40:44]101 pounds of fun.
[40:46]You have misread about Rebecca.
[40:48]She's a body four,
[40:49]which is the lightest,
[40:50]not the lightest.
[40:51]I see.
[40:51]You may be thinking.
[40:52]All right.
[40:54]Hey Rob,
[40:54]could you convert that to kilograms for me,
[40:56]please?
[40:56]We're looking at what Rebecca real doll looks like right now.
[40:59]Okay.
[41:00]I feel dirty.
[41:00]Just back up for my computer.
[41:02]And I feel,
[41:02]are you kink shaming right now?
[41:04]Is that what you're doing?
[41:05]No,
[41:05]I would never.
[41:06]Nope.
[41:07]I would never look pretty real.
[41:08]Well,
[41:10]the name of it is real.
[41:12]The name of it is real doll.
[41:13]We got Rob.
[41:14]Wow.
[41:15]This is X out.
[41:16]We're done.
[41:16]We're done with this.
[41:18]This is the Rebecca.
[41:19]They haven't even come out with 2.0 yet.
[41:21]Rob.
[41:21]We're done.
[41:24]We're done.
[41:24]Save bookmark.
[41:26]Rob,
[41:27]roll it.
[41:27]Go.
[41:27]And I was going with you.
[41:28]Listen,
[41:30]I get it.
[41:32]I get it.
[41:33]First time we ever had to scold Rob and tell him no more.
[41:35]I think it's the first time in like 200 episodes.
[41:38]If Rob and Roberta,
[41:42]the sex doll did have like a wedding album of all their photos.
[41:46]Would some of those photos been in the album or no?
[41:48]Oh yeah.
[41:49]Oh yeah.
[41:50]Yeah.
[41:50]The boudoir shots of your bride,
[41:52]your beautiful bride.
[41:54]Guys,
[41:54]I'm telling you family be in like family pictures for that one.
[41:56]Robert.
[41:57]No.
[41:57]Yeah.
[41:57]Or are you with the bride or the groom?
[41:59]It's a sex doll getting wheeled down.
[42:04]There's like 180 people on one side of the church and the other side is just fucking empty.
[42:11]Yeah.
[42:11]So there were a couple of recycle bins from out there.
[42:14]The woman from mannequin comes in and goes,
[42:17]I don't know where to sit.
[42:18]Depends.
[42:19]Mannequin too.
[42:23]On the move.
[42:24]Listen,
[42:25]I sit down,
[42:26]my calendar pops up Russell and all of a sudden I notice the date.
[42:30]April 20.
[42:33]Well,
[42:33]I won't say the date,
[42:34]but it's April.
[42:34]I'm just going to tell you guys April.
[42:36]Okay.
[42:37]That is the Thursday before this episode comes out.
[42:41]Interesting.
[42:42]It is a birthday have her person's birthday on that day.
[42:46]Oh,
[42:47]okay.
[42:47]I happen to know that somebody who is a common birthday have her has their birthday.
[42:52]And I just want to know Russell.
[42:54]If you were with somebody who was having a birthday,
[42:55]how do you even start that plan?
[42:57]What are you thinking?
[42:58]Well,
[42:59]there's a birthday have her that I know.
[43:01]And this birthday have her tries to claim a birthday month.
[43:05]I think people who claim a birthday month are full of shit.
[43:09]That's my impression.
[43:11]What do you guys think of people who claim a birthday month for a whole month,
[43:14]a whole month?
[43:15]Yeah.
[43:15]I mean,
[43:15]so go for it.
[43:16]You only get one.
[43:17]So what is it?
[43:17]But what does a birthday month mean that you have to like,
[43:19]do you have a cake every day?
[43:21]Oh my God.
[43:22]You have a cake every day.
[43:24]I Russell's like,
[43:26]I've eaten a cake every day,
[43:27]but I was,
[43:27]she was furious because it was the bees in the fridge.
[43:30]Russell's shoulders just shrunk like four inches.
[43:32]Just say people that celebrate birthday months.
[43:36]No,
[43:36]they claim it's their birthday month at a restaurant for poor dessert.
[43:41]No,
[43:42]Russell.
[43:43]No,
[43:44]Russell.
[43:45]Hey,
[43:46]don't get a free espresso martini from that guy for our birthday.
[43:49]I don't,
[43:49]I don't think they do it all the time,
[43:51]but if it's close,
[43:52]they claim it.
[43:53]I think if it's,
[43:53]if it's close,
[43:54]if it's within a week,
[43:54]they claim that.
[43:55]What do you think of that?
[43:55]I think it's within a week.
[43:58]I think that's all right.
[43:59]I think it's probably all right.
[44:01]If you're going out to celebrate your birthday with people,
[44:04]even if it's on a different day.
[44:05]Right.
[44:05]I like that.
[44:06]Yeah.
[44:06]So,
[44:07]so do you,
[44:07]let me ask you now.
[44:08]So do you have a list?
[44:09]Do you have like a list of ideas for birthdays or how do you even go about
[44:12]planning such a big,
[44:13]because this is like,
[44:14]you're like the date master.
[44:15]I think of you as the ultimate date master.
[44:17]You're doing dates.
[44:17]You're good at dates.
[44:18]You still care about impressing people with dates.
[44:20]Okay.
[44:21]What are you doing for a birthday date?
[44:24]How do you even start that to make that decision?
[44:25]Well,
[44:26]Rob,
[44:27]sometimes it helps when a person's birthday might happen to fall on a work
[44:31]trip you're taking.
[44:32]So they can come and join you on a fun trip in a new cool city.
[44:36]That just happens to coincide with a work trip that I'm taking.
[44:40]Oh,
[44:41]wow.
[44:42]So,
[44:43]so I think celebrating someone's birthday,
[44:45]like on a trip is a fun thing,
[44:46]right?
[44:47]Yeah.
[44:47]And so this is a professional birthday celebrator.
[44:49]So you've scheduled some dinners and stuff.
[44:51]You've really put the time into planning this birthday date.
[44:54]So we put this on pause for about 15 minutes.
[44:56]We're like,
[44:57]cool.
[44:57]He's really killing you.
[44:59]Birthday dates in Pierre,
[45:02]South Dakota,
[45:03]question mark.
[45:04]You know,
[45:07]Pierre has a really nice VFW.
[45:08]It's right on the river.
[45:09]It might not be a nice right now.
[45:11]It does.
[45:11]I've been there.
[45:12]You've been to the VFW in Pierre,
[45:14]South Dakota?
[45:15]Have you ever been to a bad VFW?
[45:16]Here's my question.
[45:16]Have you ever been to a bad VFW?
[45:18]Right off 212 on the corner of 6th and 8th.
[45:20]They have it for right.
[45:21]VFW's are always fun.
[45:22]Cheap burgers,
[45:22]cheap beer.
[45:24]It might surprise you.
[45:24]You know how you really get some respect at a VFW?
[45:26]Stealing valor?
[45:28]You walk in there
[45:30]or
[45:31]have somebody wheel you in
[45:33]in your full navy whites.
[45:35]Have somebody wheel you in there?
[45:38]I don't know.
[45:39]Hey,
[45:39]if you're going to steal valor,
[45:40]steal all the valor.
[45:41]You know what I mean?
[45:42]Just get it.
[45:44]There's a loud noise.
[45:46]You stand up.
[45:46]I want to remind you guys that this is Rob's rolling going.
[45:49]Rob took his rolling going
[45:50]to grill Russell about a birthday,
[45:52]Heather's birthday.
[45:53]No,
[45:54]I'm just wondering
[45:54]because I never think in time.
[45:57]Like I have a list of gifts for people.
[45:59]That's how I keep track of what I'm going to get them
[46:01]for like Christmas
[46:01]because otherwise,
[46:02]if I think about it like before the birthday,
[46:04]before Christmas,
[46:05]I'm never going to remember.
[46:05]So I'm just wondering,
[46:06]what do you do, Aaron?
[46:07]Do you keep track of birthday stuff somehow?
[46:09]Like ideas for gifts
[46:11]or are you just in my head?
[46:12]But I should,
[46:13]I should write it down like you do.
[46:14]No,
[46:14]I never end up doing it as early as I want to,
[46:17]but I do.
[46:18]Okay.
[46:18]Eventually,
[46:18]but yeah,
[46:20]Aaron's wife is like,
[46:21]why do I have so many
[46:22]homemade coupons for stuff?
[46:23]Samurai swimming lessons.
[46:25]This doesn't make any sense.
[46:26]I don't want these.
[46:28]He gives them to me every year.
[46:29]I hate this.
[46:30]I believe,
[46:31]I believe at one point
[46:32]for a birthday gift in the past,
[46:34]I did get Alanis Morissette tickets.
[46:36]We've talked about whether concert tickets
[46:38]are a good gift or not,
[46:40]but I thought that was Christmas present.
[46:41]Wasn't that a Christmas present?
[46:43]Matt,
[46:43]that was,
[46:44]those were tickets I chose not to get
[46:46]for the boss or the chili peppers
[46:47]because they were too expensive.
[46:48]And by the way,
[46:50]it was a good decision.
[46:51]Star Tribune had an article saying,
[46:53]the red hot chili peppers sucked
[46:55]in US Bank Stadium
[46:57]because the acoustics are terrible there.
[46:59]Good decision.
[47:01]Ice cold.
[47:02]Check and check.
[47:03]Yep.
[47:03]The reporter is like,
[47:04]I saved some money.
[47:05]I got second level seats.
[47:06]Don't do it.
[47:07]You should sit on the side
[47:08]by the speakers or whatever.
[47:09]Listen,
[47:10]let's get into the album.
[47:13]Hey,
[47:13]we're talking music.
[47:14]Thank God.
[47:15]Some nice guitar work on this one.
[47:17]Wrong one.
[47:17]It might not be
[47:19]John Frusciante level,
[47:20]but it's good.
[47:20]Chili pepper is guitar.
[47:23]His favorite part of the show.
[47:25]I knew you were talking about.
[47:26]I was back.
[47:27]You mean Dave Navarro?
[47:29]He's gone for a while, right?
[47:30]No, who was the,
[47:31]didn't they have another guitarist for a while?
[47:34]Yeah, they did have Dave Navarro.
[47:35]You're right.
[47:36]Yes.
[47:36]Red Hot Minute.
[47:39]I had that album.
[47:40]All right,
[47:42]let's get into it.
[47:43]We are.
[47:43]Dave Navarro was always a weird dude.
[47:45]Like he was always on like MTV
[47:46]because like I think he was married
[47:48]to Carmen Electra.
[47:49]Yeah.
[47:49]And he was part of these bands
[47:51]that I don't think the bands
[47:52]were all that famous.
[47:53]Like if he was more famous
[47:54]for being with Carmen Electra
[47:56]than he was a guitar player, right?
[47:58]He did also host a tattoo reality show
[48:00]that was like,
[48:01]it was like top chef for tattoo artists,
[48:03]which was a terrible show,
[48:04]but I watched a lot.
[48:05]Guys,
[48:05]this is the guitarist for Jane's Addiction.
[48:07]Let's not talk slander here.
[48:08]I mean,
[48:09]we cannot mess around.
[48:10]Dave Navarro is a good guitarist.
[48:12]And they,
[48:13]they just opened up.
[48:14]Jane's Addiction just opened up
[48:16]for Smashing Pumpkins last,
[48:17]their last tour.
[48:18]Dave Navarro wasn't with the band,
[48:20]which is too bad,
[48:20]but Jane's Addiction,
[48:22]they,
[48:23]well,
[48:24]they're awesome.
[48:25]Oh no.
[48:25]Yeah.
[48:26]It's,
[48:26]I mean,
[48:26]yeah,
[48:27]they're,
[48:27]they're phenomenal.
[48:28]And probably a lot of the pixies
[48:30]coming into their stuff.
[48:31]So yeah,
[48:32]Dave Navarro,
[48:32]rock,
[48:34]rock guitar legend.
[48:36]And most podcast hosts
[48:38]would take that segue
[48:39]and effortlessly
[48:41]with no problem whatsoever,
[48:43]just start talking about the album,
[48:44]smooth,
[48:45]knowing that we were staying up late,
[48:46]knowing that we don't want to waste time.
[48:47]However,
[48:48]I'm going to go back and just say,
[48:49]if I told you Dave Navarro
[48:50]got into a cocoon
[48:51]and came out,
[48:53]and it was Guy Fieri,
[48:54]you would kind of maybe think
[48:57]that's a possibility,
[48:57]right?
[48:58]They're kind of similar vibes.
[49:01]Don't you think?
[49:02]Like Dave,
[49:02]like Guy Fieri is a similar vibe
[49:04]to Dave Navarro.
[49:04]Am I right?
[49:05]They both have kind of,
[49:06]you think of like flame shirts?
[49:07]No.
[49:09]Are you,
[49:10]are you,
[49:11]are you,
[49:11]are you sure you know
[49:12]who you're talking about?
[49:12]This is probably when I,
[49:14]you should probably Google
[49:15]Dave Navarro really quick.
[49:16]This is like when I used to get
[49:17]the baseball players,
[49:18]Troy O'Leary and Rusty Greer confused.
[49:20]Oh my God.
[49:23]Is this that bad?
[49:24]Very similar vibes.
[49:25]There's Dave Navarro.
[49:26]Okay.
[49:27]Now let's look.
[49:28]Guy Fieri.
[49:29]Huh?
[49:31]Visual joke.
[49:32]Huh?
[49:33]What the fuck?
[49:33]Go back and forth?
[49:34]Yeah,
[49:35]they're kind of close.
[49:36]Okay.
[49:37]Now,
[49:38]what if I told you that
[49:39]Dave Navarro actually was
[49:40]Jessica 1.0?
[49:41]Now,
[49:42]give me a second to Google this again.
[49:43]Don't do that.
[49:44]All right.
[49:44]I'll pull that up again.
[49:45]It's in your bookmarks.
[49:46]You're all right.
[49:47]Let's talk about the Pixies.
[49:48]Don't need to Google it.
[49:48]a great host would also,
[49:50]the great host would also
[49:51]edit the episode
[49:52]and make himself actually look
[49:53]funny and take some of that
[49:54]stuff out.
[49:55]Now,
[49:55]we are talking about
[49:58]Doolittle by the Pixies.
[50:00]I,
[50:00]I got to start by saying,
[50:01]do you guys,
[50:02]what do you guys think of the
[50:03]Pixies?
[50:03]To me,
[50:04]the Pixies were always the band.
[50:05]I don't know anything about them.
[50:06]Never listened to them,
[50:07]but they're always the band
[50:08]that when people said they
[50:09]liked them,
[50:09]I thought this person knows
[50:11]music.
[50:11]They are smart.
[50:12]Thoughts?
[50:13]I don't know the Pixies.
[50:14]I don't know Pixies at all.
[50:16]I bought their album
[50:18]Surfer Rosa because I had
[50:19]There Is My Mind on it
[50:20]because I heard that in
[50:21]Fight Club.
[50:22]You should play that real
[50:23]quick, Rob.
[50:23]Just while we're talking
[50:24]about it.
[50:24]Or Where Is My Mind.
[50:25]Yeah,
[50:26]that's,
[50:26]that's the thing.
[50:27]That's probably the only
[50:29]like real hits that they've
[50:32]got.
[50:32]But,
[50:33]you know,
[50:34]I,
[50:34]doing a lot of the reading
[50:36]of the background,
[50:36]you know,
[50:37]you always heard about
[50:37]Pavement and Pixies and
[50:39]some of these other bands.
[50:40]Talking Heads was in there
[50:41]and The Who and Who the,
[50:43]you know,
[50:44]Nirvana's and
[50:46]Red Hot Chili Peppers
[50:48]and Pearl Jams and
[50:50]Sound Gardens of the World,
[50:51]Smashing Pumpkins,
[50:51]all,
[50:52]they were,
[50:53]that's who they listened to
[50:54]while they were kind of
[50:55]coming up.
[50:56]And so,
[50:56]I knew the Pixies listened
[50:57]to them a little bit only
[50:58]because they essentially
[50:59]were like grunge before
[51:01]grunge was grunge.
[51:02]That make an alternative
[51:03]rock.
[51:04]Favorite band,
[51:04]favorite band kind of a deal.
[51:05]Yeah,
[51:06]that kind of a thing.
[51:07]So,
[51:07]that's the only reason I
[51:08]listened to them a little bit.
[51:09]Another band people link
[51:10]to the Pixies a lot is
[51:11]Nirvana.
[51:11]And a big part of it is
[51:12]the silent to loud dynamic
[51:14]we're going to hear
[51:15]throughout this album
[51:15]where they really play
[51:17]with that,
[51:17]that noise.
[51:18]Yep.
[51:19]Aaron?
[51:20]Matt said Nirvana.
[51:22]Ah,
[51:23]I was looking at the video.
[51:24]I was trying to do fading.
[51:25]I'm sorry, Aaron.
[51:25]I'm trying to produce the show.
[51:27]Okay,
[51:28]do you think he produced
[51:28]the show?
[51:29]Do you think producing the show
[51:32]is just trying to find emojis
[51:33]that would go on this sound clip?
[51:34]Matt,
[51:35]are you noticing how
[51:36]people take feedback?
[51:36]This is why I don't tell
[51:38]the bartender about
[51:39]his press merch.
[51:40]He'd be like,
[51:42]I'm sorry, Russ.
[51:43]I'm trying to serve drinks.
[51:44]Yeah.
[51:45]By the way,
[51:46]earlier,
[51:46]I cut off the song
[51:47]God Save the Queen.
[51:48]I will never do that again.
[51:49]I'm going to vow to you right now.
[51:50]We will always listen to that song
[51:51]all the way through
[51:52]when talking about America.
[51:54]So this band was formed
[51:55]by the guitarist
[51:56]Joey Santiago
[51:56]and the songwriter
[51:57]Black Francis,
[51:58]and they met in Boston
[51:59]at Massachusetts Amherst.
[52:00]They then put an ad
[52:02]in the paper and said,
[52:03]listen,
[52:03]we're looking for a bass player
[52:04]who has to like
[52:05]Peter, Paul, Mary
[52:06]and Husker Du.
[52:07]And a woman showed up.
[52:09]You know where Husker Du is from?
[52:11]That's the Minneapolis connection.
[52:12]There we go.
[52:12]Yeah.
[52:13]I've always thought
[52:14]of Pixies
[52:15]as Minneapolis-ly creative.
[52:17]The bass player,
[52:18]the one person
[52:19]showed up to that,
[52:20]one person showed up
[52:21]to that ad
[52:21]without a bass.
[52:23]Because they did not
[52:24]play the bass
[52:25]and has never played the bass,
[52:26]but they liked the guy's song.
[52:27]So they said,
[52:27]sure, you're in the band.
[52:28]This person,
[52:29]the bass player
[52:30]invited her sister,
[52:31]Kim Deal,
[52:32]invited her sister
[52:33]who was a drummer,
[52:35]but she didn't,
[52:36]she only liked Kim's songs
[52:37]and not the Pixies songs
[52:38]or not Pixies songs.
[52:39]And then she became
[52:40]the drummer of the Breeders.
[52:42]So the bass player
[52:43]of this band
[52:44]and the drummer
[52:44]of the Breeders
[52:45]are sisters,
[52:45]which is a great fact.
[52:46]Okay, you can use that
[52:47]on a first date if you want.
[52:48]The last song fact
[52:50]I used on my date
[52:51]was the one
[52:52]about the kids
[52:53]from Who's the Boss
[52:54]was the guy
[52:55]who played the flute
[52:56]in The Chronic.
[52:57]Is that true?
[53:00]It did not work.
[53:02]Yeah.
[53:02]Hell yeah.
[53:03]You know what, Russell?
[53:04]She must not have been
[53:05]a sapiosexual enough.
[53:06]Rob, that was my test.
[53:09]If a sapiosexual
[53:10]heard you say that,
[53:11]she would say,
[53:12]we're dining,
[53:13]dashing,
[53:14]and dicking
[53:14]out in your car
[53:15]because you just
[53:16]turned me on with that fact.
[53:17]That's Guy Fieri's
[53:20]HBO real sex show.
[53:23]Dining, dashing,
[53:24]and dicking.
[53:24]Hey, here, folks.
[53:26]We're at this restaurant.
[53:27]We're going to dine.
[53:28]Uh-oh.
[53:28]Your guy, Guy,
[53:29]forgot his wallet.
[53:30]Okay, we're going to
[53:32]head out to the car
[53:33]where Jessica 1.0
[53:34]is waiting in the back seat
[53:35]where I can hop in.
[53:36]Give her a quick deep dicking.
[53:38]Now, you know,
[53:39]now, I don't,
[53:40]and I know you guys
[53:41]are annoyed with me.
[53:42]I know that.
[53:43]But really,
[53:45]that's what Hulk Hogan did.
[53:46]He dined,
[53:48]dashed over
[53:49]to his friend's place
[53:50]to deep dick his wife.
[53:52]Oh, bro.
[53:53]You don't know why it happened?
[53:54]Come try my kicking
[53:55]Bronco sauce, brother.
[53:56]Rob, the reason it happened,
[53:59]the guy said,
[53:59]the love sponge said,
[54:01]the Hulkster had been
[54:02]feeling down recently
[54:03]and he didn't want Hulk
[54:05]to feel bad,
[54:06]so he asked his wife
[54:07]to deep dick.
[54:09]So he knew about it.
[54:12]Tell you what, brother.
[54:13]Somebody hasn't been
[54:15]taking their vitamins.
[54:16]I feel bad right now.
[54:17]All those Hulkamaniacs
[54:18]out there,
[54:19]I'm not feeling good.
[54:20]Hey, Hulkster.
[54:23]I've always wanted to see
[54:24]my wife fuck a hot dog
[54:25]with hair stapled to it,
[54:26]but you'll do.
[54:27]Do you want to deep dick
[54:28]my wife?
[54:28]Hey, I wonder what it would
[54:32]look like if a mahogany mop
[54:34]or mahogany corn broom
[54:36]with the finest baby doll hair.
[54:38]I mean, you want to talk
[54:39]about somebody who looks
[54:39]like a sex doll.
[54:40]Hulk Hogan looks
[54:42]like a sex doll.
[54:42]You're telling me
[54:43]he doesn't have doll hair?
[54:44]His hair is so fine.
[54:46]No one's telling you
[54:47]anything about Hulk Hogan.
[54:48]His hair is light as air.
[54:49]You're the only one
[54:50]telling anyone about Hulk Hogan.
[54:51]Rob, if you can get
[54:53]a Hulk Hogan sex doll,
[54:54]do you think it'd weigh
[54:54]a legit 303 pounds
[54:56]or would it be heavier?
[54:57]You think?
[54:58]We're going to have
[54:58]24-inch pythons.
[54:59]You go really quick.
[54:59]See if you can get one.
[55:01]See if you can get one.
[55:02]I never.
[55:02]Oh, I'm sorry.
[55:03]I thought I was a sapiosexual.
[55:04]I inserted a fleshlight
[55:07]into that wrestling
[55:08]backyard slamming doll
[55:09]or whatever.
[55:10]Now I can fuck Hulk Hogan,
[55:11]brother.
[55:12]The shoe's on the other foot,
[55:13]brother.
[55:14]Now I'm deep dicking you.
[55:16]So anyways, go back.
[55:19]Now try to follow that joke
[55:20]because it was a lot.
[55:21]There was a lot there
[55:21]and it all started
[55:22]with Dave Navarro.
[55:23]So very smart stuff.
[55:24]So now this is the album
[55:26]where their second album
[55:26]signed with Elektra.
[55:27]Surfer Rosa had gone
[55:28]kind of big in the UK,
[55:30]but this one was huge.
[55:31]It got all the way up
[55:32]to eight in the UK,
[55:33]only 98 in the US.
[55:35]And let's get into
[55:37]a do-little DeBaser.
[55:40]DeBaser!
[55:42]That's like
[55:43]Family Man Barrett.
[55:44]He was DeBaser.
[55:45]All right, I get it.
[55:48]Thank you.
[55:48]Woo!
[55:49]So this song is about
[55:52]the short film
[55:53]Un Chien Andalou,
[55:54]DeBaser.
[55:54]No, that's the next sentence.
[55:57]This is about the short film
[55:58]Un Chien Andalou.
[55:59]DeBaser features many
[56:01]of their signature motifs.
[56:03]But do you know what
[56:04]that movie was about?
[56:05]That French movie?
[56:06]That's the one where famously
[56:08]they had a razor blade
[56:09]on an eye
[56:10]and it was making you think
[56:11]about like, what is film?
[56:12]Yes.
[56:13]So this album starts with
[56:15]a song basically
[56:17]about cutting your eye.
[56:17]And then guess what
[56:18]the last song of the album
[56:19]is, Aaron?
[56:19]Gouge Away.
[56:20]It's also about eye trauma.
[56:22]This album is my
[56:24]number two fear of all time,
[56:25]which is, of course,
[56:26]getting my eyes hurt.
[56:27]I think about it
[56:27]every time I blow up a balloon.
[56:29]I blow up a balloon.
[56:31]It pops.
[56:32]I have a patch.
[56:33]People ask me,
[56:34]why do you wear a patch
[56:35]for the rest of your life?
[56:35]And what do I have to say?
[56:36]From blowing up a balloon?
[56:38]Terrifying.
[56:40]Yeah, definitely.
[56:41]Did I tell you I thought
[56:42]I had an eye injury
[56:44]from my inflatables
[56:46]out in the front yard?
[56:48]Oh.
[56:48]Wait.
[56:49]Wait.
[56:50]You've been keeping
[56:50]a lot of good stuff.
[56:51]Man, what the fuck?
[56:52]You had an eye injury
[56:54]from your inflatables?
[56:54]Dumb ass me.
[56:57]And now it freaks me out
[56:59]every time I do it.
[56:59]So this is this year.
[57:00]So I'm trying,
[57:01]it snowed.
[57:03]I'm trying to get
[57:04]all the inflatables
[57:04]out of the yard.
[57:05]And so I'm trying to pull
[57:06]all of the stakes up, right,
[57:08]that I can.
[57:08]So, of course,
[57:09]I did the thing
[57:10]where you lean over
[57:11]and I'm pulling up
[57:13]as it goes
[57:13]and the thing comes
[57:14]out of the ground,
[57:15]hits me right square,
[57:16]like right above,
[57:18]like the top of my eye,
[57:19]inside the socket.
[57:21]And I thought I,
[57:22]you know,
[57:22]there was a legit hour
[57:24]where I thought
[57:24]I was going to be blind
[57:25]because of an inflatable,
[57:27]Christmas inflatable stake.
[57:29]But I'll tell you what, man.
[57:30]If you're going to go blind
[57:32]by anything,
[57:32]to go blind
[57:34]by a yard inflatable,
[57:36]I'll tell you what,
[57:38]that's fucking America, man.
[57:39]I have your fear.
[57:42]That is suburban dad power right there.
[57:45]I mean, that,
[57:45]people in the neighborhood
[57:47]would talk about that forever.
[57:48]Right.
[57:48]Bury me with my new
[57:50]extension cords I just bought.
[57:51]They're so nice.
[57:52]And my one to three extenders.
[57:55]Oh my God,
[57:55]you got one to three extenders?
[57:56]You're giving me a one to three extender.
[57:58]You got your one prong
[57:59]and then you got your three,
[58:00]so you got your three
[58:01]that it's got to come into, right?
[58:02]You know, Matt,
[58:04]tell me how you wrap your hose
[58:05]on the side of your house.
[58:06]I got to know.
[58:07]Rob, if you,
[58:10]if you pass away,
[58:11]would you get a funeral plot
[58:13]with your,
[58:13]your inflatable wife?
[58:15]Would she have like a plot
[58:17]next to you or no?
[58:17]First of all,
[58:17]I want to,
[58:18]I want to point out
[58:19]in the sex doll community,
[58:21]saying she's inflatable
[58:22]is actually not true.
[58:22]It's actually super insulting.
[58:23]These are anywhere from 90
[58:25]to 120 pound dolls.
[58:26]Okay?
[58:27]So they are not inflatables.
[58:29]They're actually quite heavy.
[58:30]Sorry, Aaron.
[58:31]I didn't mean to put the quarterback
[58:32]in the machine.
[58:33]You can't take it out
[58:36]once it's in.
[58:36]I'm sorry.
[58:37]I can't help it.
[58:38]You think I would have
[58:40]a burial plot next
[58:41]for Jessica 1.0?
[58:42]I'd probably sell her
[58:45]on Facebook marketplace.
[58:46]All right, tame.
[58:52]You guys don't like that joke.
[58:53]I don't get it.
[58:54]I'm listening to the music.
[58:55]I'm enjoying Kim Dill's bass work.
[58:58]So unlike most pop songs,
[59:00]which are 16 beats,
[59:02]this is just a three bar progression,
[59:04]which kind of throws you off
[59:05]a little bit.
[59:05]Hey, I can hear that.
[59:10]This is the song
[59:13]that reminded me of
[59:14]J. Roddy Walsh.
[59:16]For sure.
[59:16]Yeah.
[59:17]He said he wrote the song
[59:19]about college girls in town
[59:21]that he thought were obnoxious.
[59:22]And I got to hear it.
[59:22]I got to tell you guys,
[59:23]I met some teens
[59:24]who were big guys,
[59:25]curly hair,
[59:26]boisterous and loud.
[59:26]And they were so fucking annoying.
[59:29]I could not stand them.
[59:30]I was like,
[59:30]this is terrible.
[59:31]This is the worst.
[59:32]Okay.
[59:33]What are those things that,
[59:35]so Rob saw those guys.
[59:36]You have things mad or Aaron,
[59:38]when you see someone,
[59:39]you're like,
[59:39]oh, this is me.
[59:40]And now I don't like it.
[59:41]It's like for me,
[59:42]if I see annoying people
[59:43]at a blackjack table,
[59:44]I'm like, oh, fuck.
[59:45]I'm the annoying guy
[59:46]at a blackjack table.
[59:47]Like that's the one
[59:48]where I look in the mirror
[59:49]and I'm like,
[59:49]I'm that fucking guy.
[59:50]I don't agree.
[59:51]And I don't like it.
[59:52]But do you guys ever see someone
[59:53]and you're like,
[59:54]man, I don't like that.
[59:55]And it's something I do.
[59:56]Well, I,
[59:58]well, I use,
[59:59]I used to be that guy
[60:00]who would like wear
[60:01]like the baseball like shoes
[60:03]and like wear the hat
[60:05]and the glasses
[60:05]and just be like the baseball guy.
[60:07]Like, you know,
[60:07]walking around in high school,
[60:09]high school kind of a thing.
[60:10]Like now I see that guy.
[60:11]I'm like, you know what?
[60:12]You know, sports really
[60:14]just figure out,
[60:16]have fun doing something else.
[60:17]Right?
[60:17]Like I was so into baseball
[60:20]and then basketball
[60:21]and football
[60:21]and I wish,
[60:23]I just wish
[60:24]I would have done something
[60:25]like with a guitar
[60:26]or drums or something,
[60:27]something else.
[60:28]You know what I mean?
[60:29]And so I was so one dimensional
[60:30]that I just want to tell
[60:32]some of those guys that,
[60:33]but that's one thing
[60:34]I thought of right away.
[60:35]I'm going to go back in time
[60:36]real quick
[60:37]and we're going to see Matt
[60:37]in high school.
[60:38]Okay, real quick.
[60:39]Hey, hey, Mrs. Smith.
[60:43]I'm done with my Richfield,
[60:45]my Richfield geography test.
[60:47]Could I read my East Bay catalog?
[60:51]Not far off.
[60:53]This is need or lucky.
[60:54]Yeah, need or lucky practice.
[60:56]You know, I can't remember the names
[60:57]or anything you guys say.
[60:59]All right.
[61:00]This song is need or lucky on Tuesday.
[61:01]Wave of mutilation.
[61:02]Wave.
[61:04]Some people think this song's
[61:07]a lot like the song
[61:08]of Sea of Love.
[61:09]It's got the same chord progression.
[61:10]I just hear like 90s alt pop.
[61:14]I don't know what you'd call this,
[61:15]but like to me,
[61:17]a lot of these songs
[61:18]could be like an American Pie movie
[61:19]or something like that.
[61:21]Yes, every one of them
[61:22]sounds like it could be
[61:22]over the opening credits
[61:23]of a Freddie Prinze Jr. movie.
[61:25]Yes.
[61:26]There were some songs
[61:27]that made me want to skip.
[61:29]Now, this is a 38-minute album.
[61:30]It's like 18 songs.
[61:32]The songs are incredibly short.
[61:33]There were a few where I was like,
[61:35]I cannot hear him scream anymore.
[61:36]I can't fucking take it.
[61:37]There was a point
[61:38]I was listening to it earlier too, Rob,
[61:40]and I was trying to read something
[61:41]while it was about song eight
[61:43]or whatever.
[61:43]I'm like, I'd rather just sit here
[61:45]in silence and I had to turn it off.
[61:46]I'm not saying it's not good
[61:47]and I didn't enjoy it,
[61:48]but there was,
[61:49]it drained me a bit.
[61:50]But then I hear it.
[61:51]I hear these songs
[61:51]like Wave of Mutilation
[61:52]and they're so good.
[61:54]They're so catchy.
[61:55]I'm like, I totally get it.
[61:56]This is great.
[61:56]A lot of these songs
[61:57]actually gave me anxiety.
[61:58]I was listening to them
[62:00]in my headphones
[62:00]and it kind of freaked me out.
[62:01]I Bleed.
[62:03]This was the one
[62:06]that reminded me of Nirvana the most.
[62:08]Yeah.
[62:09]This is a lot about,
[62:13]the singer had studied
[62:15]a little bit of archaeology
[62:16]in Arizona.
[62:17]So they think this song,
[62:18]or he said this song
[62:19]is about the cave
[62:21]dwelling and the Pueblo
[62:22]cave dwellings
[62:22]where you can go in
[62:23]and see like this whole city
[62:24]and handprints on the wall
[62:25]and everything.
[62:26]It's pretty cool.
[62:27]I've been there.
[62:27]I've seen that.
[62:28]Smart stuff.
[62:30]I just want to bring up
[62:31]quickly that the,
[62:32]you know,
[62:33]this came out in 1989,
[62:34]right?
[62:35]It was written in 1988.
[62:36]The,
[62:38]some of the top albums
[62:40]according to Wikipedia's
[62:42]list here from 1989.
[62:46]Okay.
[62:46]Don't be cruel by Bobby Brown.
[62:49]Appetite for Destruction.
[62:50]Oh.
[62:51]Destruction came out in 1989.
[62:52]It was the number one album
[62:54]for a little while.
[62:54]That blows my mind.
[62:55]Like a Prayer by Madonna.
[62:58]I'm trying to think of some
[62:59]of the hair metal ones that come,
[63:00]Dr. Feel Good by Motley Crue
[63:02]came out and was like,
[63:03]you know,
[63:03]so they are squarely in the,
[63:06]called the end of the hair metal,
[63:09]you know,
[63:09]kind of into the,
[63:10]well,
[63:11]Guns N' Roses and hair metal.
[63:12]Is it Russell?
[63:13]You don't really call that hair.
[63:14]Do you?
[63:15]I think so.
[63:16]Yes,
[63:16]I definitely think so.
[63:17]I think they're on the tail end
[63:18]of that right there.
[63:19]Yeah.
[63:20]And so,
[63:22]you know,
[63:23]so those are what this is going up again.
[63:25]I mean,
[63:25]this is completely alternative rock
[63:27]compared to,
[63:28]you know,
[63:29]what was the mainstream rock at the time.
[63:31]That's such a good comparison.
[63:32]That's such a good comparison,
[63:33]man,
[63:33]to see what else is playing.
[63:34]120 minutes.
[63:34]Also,
[63:35]Truth and Soul by Fishbone
[63:37]came out around the same time.
[63:38]It's a great album.
[63:39]Man,
[63:40]ignore what Aaron just said.
[63:41]Listen,
[63:41]don't listen to him.
[63:41]That was brilliant, Aaron.
[63:42]Listen to Fishbone.
[63:43]Girl,
[63:44]you know it's true by Milli Vanilli
[63:45]also came out.
[63:46]I mean,
[63:46]that sums it up right there,
[63:48]right?
[63:48]You're listening to Milli Vanilli
[63:49]or Bobby Brown,
[63:50]or Guns N' Roses,
[63:51]or this.
[63:53]Locked After Dark
[63:54]by Tone Loke.
[63:56]Locked After Dark
[63:57]by Tone Loke.
[63:57]Hey,
[63:58]this is me,
[63:58]Tone Loke.
[63:59]I'm going to be in a bunch of movies,
[64:00]including Pet Detective.
[64:01]It's very distracting
[64:03]when I'm in there
[64:04]because all you can think of
[64:04]is that's Tone Loke.
[64:05]Here Comes Your Man.
[64:07]This sounds like a song.
[64:10]This is the first single
[64:12]off the album,
[64:13]I believe.
[64:13]Sounds like it's in that
[64:15]Tom Hanks movie.
[64:15]It's so pleasant,
[64:16]right?
[64:16]It's like,
[64:17]it's wonderful.
[64:18]It sounded like a Beatles opening
[64:20]with the,
[64:20]the guitar strum
[64:21]that it feels like
[64:22]a Roy Orbison song.
[64:23]Right.
[64:23]Or like the band
[64:24]from That Thing You Do.
[64:25]Yes.
[64:26]This is great.
[64:29]I love this.
[64:30]Definitely.
[64:31]So this,
[64:32]this reminds me
[64:33]of Smashing Pumpkins
[64:34]and Pearl Jam
[64:35]and not so much Nirvana,
[64:36]but like all of those,
[64:38]both those bands
[64:39]have these really hard
[64:40]rock songs
[64:40]and then they just go
[64:41]completely like off
[64:43]the script
[64:43]and do something
[64:44]very poppy
[64:45]and,
[64:45]you know,
[64:46]light.
[64:47]And so,
[64:47]I don't know,
[64:48]that's where I think
[64:49]they have some influence.
[64:50]They allowed,
[64:51]if I'm allowed
[64:54]to say that,
[64:54]they allowed them
[64:55]to not just be like
[64:56]one genre of a band.
[64:58]You know,
[64:58]you can,
[64:58]you can spread your wings
[65:00]and do different kinds
[65:01]of music.
[65:01]You know who I think
[65:02]listened to that song
[65:03]is Liz Phair.
[65:04]That sounds a lot
[65:05]like Liz Phair to me.
[65:06]Big time.
[65:06]Well,
[65:07]I forgot about Liz Phair.
[65:07]We didn't listen,
[65:08]geez,
[65:08]that was a long time ago.
[65:09]People online did also say
[65:10]that this is the most
[65:11]accessible Pixies album.
[65:13]So I don't know,
[65:14]like from here,
[65:14]if it gets,
[65:15]if it's more of the yelling
[65:17]and screaming or what.
[65:18]Or accessible song.
[65:19]Did they say that was
[65:20]the most successful?
[65:20]I think so.
[65:21]I mean,
[65:21]that's like pure pop
[65:23]right there.
[65:23]Dead.
[65:24]You know who else's
[65:24]favorite song was
[65:25]Here Comes Your Man?
[65:26]Who's that?
[65:26]Rob Sextal Wife.
[65:28]Here Comes Your Man.
[65:29]I turned down the music
[65:32]to hear the joke
[65:33]Rob Sextal Wife.
[65:34]The only thing I'll say
[65:37]is that the
[65:38]Here Comes Your Man,
[65:39]they called it the,
[65:40]the group called it
[65:41]their Tom Petty song,
[65:42]which makes complete sense.
[65:44]Oh, I like that.
[65:44]That's nice.
[65:45]This is one where.
[65:47]Now it's cool again.
[65:49]Dang it.
[65:49]It kind of,
[65:50]it kind of gets back
[65:51]in the groove there,
[65:51]but I can't,
[65:53]some of these songs,
[65:54]like I gotta be careful
[65:56]because I'm not trying
[65:56]to be critical,
[65:57]but it just sounds
[65:57]like noise to me.
[65:58]It's not pleasant
[65:59]or enjoyable to me.
[66:00]And those songs
[66:02]kind of throw
[66:03]the whole album off.
[66:04]The clip Rob was playing,
[66:05]it's like,
[66:05]it's hard for me
[66:07]to get through that song.
[66:08]Russ,
[66:09]what if I tell you
[66:10]that song is about
[66:11]the famous biblical story
[66:12]about David
[66:13]and the seduction
[66:14]of Bethesda?
[66:15]Bath Sheba?
[66:20]You're so smart.
[66:21]Damn.
[66:22]Damn.
[66:24]I'm attracted to you.
[66:27]Hey, listen,
[66:28]I don't have much money,
[66:29]but we should go eat
[66:29]and then I got a good idea
[66:30]for later.
[66:31]All right.
[66:32]Monkey Gone to Heaven.
[66:34]It's an environmental song.
[66:35]I had an embarrassing moment,
[66:38]though.
[66:38]I talk like I know
[66:40]a lot about music.
[66:41]I went to the A's opener.
[66:43]I had a wine
[66:46]that was called
[66:47]Monkey Gone to Heaven.
[66:49]The name of the wine
[66:49]was Monkey Gone to Heaven.
[66:50]I was like,
[66:51]here's a fun name of a wine.
[66:52]It's like a little
[66:52]Gamma A slammer.
[66:54]And this friend of mine
[66:55]was like,
[66:55]oh, don't you know that song?
[66:57]I was like,
[66:57]no, I don't know
[66:58]what you're talking about.
[66:58]And this was before
[66:59]I had heard,
[66:59]listened to this album
[67:00]and I totally
[67:01]looked like a poser
[67:03]because I didn't know
[67:04]the name of the song
[67:05]Monkey Gone to Heaven.
[67:06]Did he say he's catching up
[67:07]on the podcast
[67:08]when you mentioned later
[67:09]that you have a music podcast?
[67:10]No, he did not.
[67:12]Unfortunately, no.
[67:13]Mr. Greaves.
[67:20]This was a big old skip
[67:23]for me.
[67:24]That's some Scott.
[67:25]So this sounds,
[67:28]you know,
[67:29]you talked about
[67:30]in your opening
[67:30]that they were,
[67:31]you know,
[67:32]they all met at Amherst.
[67:33]This just sounds
[67:35]like a college song
[67:36]to me, right?
[67:37]Like they wrote in college
[67:38]kind of a thing.
[67:39]And so it got me thinking.
[67:41]Russ is like,
[67:41]no, it's the Limestones.
[67:42]That's a college song.
[67:43]It's the Limestones, yeah.
[67:44]So it got me thinking
[67:46]that they're,
[67:47]obviously a ton of bands
[67:49]got formed, right?
[67:50]In college
[67:51]and then people
[67:52]come together
[67:52]and form these bands.
[67:53]But I've had this
[67:55]for a long time.
[67:57]There's kind of like
[67:57]this little node
[67:59]up in the Northeast
[68:00]of a few different bands
[68:02]that were formed
[68:03]up in like
[68:04]white privilege colleges
[68:06]in the Northeast
[68:08]that have come out
[68:09]and done pretty well
[68:09]with themselves.
[68:10]So I thought we could
[68:10]potentially do a list
[68:12]about white privilege colleges
[68:14]and the bands
[68:15]that have come out of them.
[68:16]Oh, nice.
[68:17]Northeast.
[68:18]But only the,
[68:19]so you're not going to
[68:20]do COSA.
[68:21]So I'm not,
[68:23]I'm not going to do,
[68:24]I wanted to,
[68:25]I wanted to try to figure out
[68:26]how I could get
[68:27]Hootie and the Blowfish
[68:28]in there.
[68:28]Oh, nice.
[68:29]Just so we can hear more Hootie
[68:31]because, you know,
[68:32]Cracked Rearview Mirror,
[68:33]whatever,
[68:34]that's got to be number
[68:35]501 on the list
[68:36]because it's not on the
[68:37]top 100 list
[68:38]for some reason.
[68:39]Where did they go to college?
[68:40]Why didn't that work out?
[68:41]They went to South Carolina.
[68:44]Oh, doesn't work.
[68:45]Northeast.
[68:46]Yeah.
[68:46]Northeast.
[68:47]We should look at it.
[68:48]So first,
[68:49]first on
[68:50]the list,
[68:51]Steely Dan.
[68:52]And I,
[68:52]there's a couple of these
[68:54]that we've already heard,
[68:54]but the album,
[68:56]any of the albums that,
[68:57]any of the songs
[68:58]from the albums
[68:58]that we've had already,
[68:59]I did not take a song
[69:00]from there.
[69:01]So these are new to the,
[69:02]I got a little bit better
[69:04]with this one, Russell.
[69:04]I got some background
[69:05]and I tried to think
[69:06]about a little bit.
[69:07]So the first one I got
[69:08]is Reeling in the Years
[69:10]by Steely Dan.
[69:11]They went to Bard College.
[69:13]Asia was number 63
[69:17]on the list.
[69:17]This is on Can't Buy
[69:18]at a,
[69:20]Drill is 168.
[69:22]So we'll be coming up
[69:22]on this album here
[69:23]pretty soon.
[69:24]What college did they go to?
[69:25]They went to Bard College.
[69:27]So don't have a cow, man.
[69:29]Don't ever.
[69:30]They met 1967
[69:32]as Fagin passed by a cafe,
[69:36]the Red Balloon.
[69:37]He heard Becker
[69:37]practicing the electric guitar.
[69:39]In an interview,
[69:40]Fagin recounted
[69:41]the experience.
[69:42]I hear this guy practicing
[69:43]and it sounded very professional
[69:44]and contemporary.
[69:45]It sounded like,
[69:46]you know,
[69:46]like something
[69:48]I would really like.
[69:49]He introduced himself to Becker
[69:50]and I was like,
[69:50]do you want to be in a band?
[69:51]And that's how
[69:52]Steely Dan was formed.
[69:54]You know what's weird, man,
[69:54]is you know what
[69:55]their second question was?
[69:56]Hey, should we name the band
[69:58]after vibrators?
[69:59]After a vibrator
[70:00]in a book,
[70:01]some weird book?
[70:02]The guy was like,
[70:03]uh, yeah.
[70:03]Oh my God,
[70:04]that's our first,
[70:05]that's our album.
[70:05]I just wrote a profile
[70:07]in the LA Times
[70:08]by Jeff Weiss
[70:09]of underrated
[70:11]Compton rapper Sugar Free.
[70:12]And Sugar Free
[70:14]was talking about
[70:14]his musical education
[70:15]as a kid.
[70:15]And he was like,
[70:16]my dad always listened to music
[70:17]and it was all,
[70:17]like my dad would come home
[70:18]and play music from the car
[70:19]and it was,
[70:20]Al Green,
[70:21]Steely Dan,
[70:21]and Parliament Funkadelic.
[70:22]Those were the three things
[70:23]that crazy.
[70:24]I mean,
[70:25]what an education.
[70:26]All right,
[70:27]the next band,
[70:28]I can't stand.
[70:30]But,
[70:30]they're extremely popular.
[70:33]Everybody likes them.
[70:34]They're from the Northeast.
[70:35]So,
[70:36]Phish was formed
[70:37]at the University of Vermont.
[70:39]And I've got a couple
[70:39]clips here.
[70:40]And the first one
[70:42]is why I really
[70:43]dislike this band.
[70:43]Well, I've been rolling
[70:44]down the street
[70:45]smoking indoors,
[70:46]sipping on gin and juice.
[70:47]Legit,
[70:48]Russell,
[70:48]can I tell you something
[70:49]that's sick?
[70:49]Legit,
[70:50]that song comes on
[70:51]and Jenny goes,
[70:52]this is one of my favorite songs.
[70:54]And I was like,
[70:55]my world's,
[70:56]that's not Phish.
[70:57]I know,
[70:57]it's the Gorge.
[70:58]But that's the funny part.
[70:58]But the song comes on
[70:59]our Alexa now.
[71:00]It's on our favorite,
[71:01]and she goes,
[71:02]I love this song.
[71:03]And I was like,
[71:03]oh my God,
[71:03]my worlds are colliding.
[71:04]This is so strange.
[71:05]Winamp said it was Phish.
[71:07]I know,
[71:08]I thought it was Phish
[71:08]for the longest.
[71:09]I know.
[71:10]Play this.
[71:12]This is why I do not like
[71:13]just listen to this.
[71:14]Turn it up a little bit.
[71:20]It sounds a little bit like
[71:23]They Might Be Giants.
[71:23]I'm like,
[71:24]oh my God.
[71:25]It sounds very familiar.
[71:28]All right,
[71:28]so this is like one,
[71:29]this is,
[71:30]I took a live version
[71:31]of this song
[71:32]and I forget the name
[71:33]of the song.
[71:33]Reba,
[71:34]maybe,
[71:35]or something like that.
[71:35]And so,
[71:36]it ends up being
[71:37]like a 14-minute song.
[71:38]And this is their jam,
[71:39]the second part of it here.
[71:40]And you play the jam
[71:41]while I read
[71:42]what I wrote down
[71:42]about Phish.
[71:43]So,
[71:43]Phish was formed
[71:45]at the University of Vermont
[71:46]in 1983
[71:47]by guitarist Trey
[71:48]and Jeff.
[71:49]I'm not going to read
[71:50]their last names.
[71:50]And the bassist
[71:52]and the drummer,
[71:52]Anastasio and Phishman
[71:54]had met in October
[71:56]after Anastasio
[71:57]overheard Phishman
[71:57]playing drums
[71:58]in his dormitory room
[71:59]and asked him,
[72:00]hey,
[72:00]you want to be,
[72:01]you want to jam with me?
[72:02]So then Gordon met
[72:03]the trio shortly after
[72:05]having answered
[72:06]a want ad
[72:06]for a bass guitar
[72:08]that Anastasio
[72:09]had posted
[72:09]around the university.
[72:10]So literally,
[72:10]they just,
[72:11]four dudes
[72:13]hanging out
[72:13]at the University of Vermont.
[72:14]Now they're Phish
[72:15]and they're this worldwide
[72:16]Matt,
[72:17]how cool would it have been
[72:18]if you had played
[72:18]a little more guitar
[72:19]in high school?
[72:20]And you would have answered
[72:21]like an ad from Aaron
[72:22]saying he was starting
[72:23]a band
[72:24]and needed a guitar player.
[72:25]So how great.
[72:26]Would have been great.
[72:27]So you know,
[72:28]we've had this debate, right?
[72:29]Would you rather be
[72:30]a pro athlete
[72:30]or a professional,
[72:31]you know,
[72:32]like a successful musician?
[72:33]And I'm absolutely
[72:34]in the successful
[72:36]musician category now
[72:38]as opposed to being
[72:39]a professional athlete.
[72:40]Imagine you come
[72:41]into your dorm
[72:41]freshman year
[72:42]and there's a fucking
[72:43]drum set in there.
[72:44]Your roommate is playing
[72:45]the drums in a dorm room.
[72:47]Get me the fuck
[72:48]out of there.
[72:49]Could not take,
[72:49]I don't care
[72:50]if that guy's going
[72:50]to become the drummer
[72:51]and fish.
[72:51]Goodbye.
[72:52]Don't need it.
[72:52]And then you get moved,
[72:54]you get moved
[72:54]into another dorm room
[72:55]and your second roommate's
[72:56]got a ferret.
[72:57]Get me the fuck
[72:58]out of there too.
[72:59]All the way out.
[72:59]And you go to a third dorm room
[73:01]and it's Jessica 1.0
[73:02]with a Guy Fieri mask on.
[73:03]What?
[73:04]This is,
[73:06]this is the room for me.
[73:08]If I remember correctly,
[73:10]Aaron can fix me.
[73:11]Someone may have gotten
[73:12]a blow up doll
[73:13]from one of our friends
[73:13]for their 18th birthday.
[73:15]I think it was
[73:16]just a fleshlight,
[73:17]but maybe there was a full.
[73:18]Man, no, no.
[73:19]I think it was
[73:20]I think you're right.
[73:20]I think it might've been
[73:21]a full doll.
[73:21]No, I think you're right.
[73:22]I think it might've been
[73:23]a full doll.
[73:23]No, I think you're right.
[73:24]Yeah.
[73:24]But it was an inflatable,
[73:26]not a real one.
[73:27]I'm not sure whether
[73:28]it was ever used
[73:29]for its intended purpose.
[73:30]Inflatable doll's gift?
[73:31]Hilarious.
[73:32]Fleshlight is gift?
[73:34]Not hilarious.
[73:35]Very strange.
[73:36]Oh, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
[73:39]Listen, you're not ha, ha
[73:40]when you're jacking off
[73:41]with that thing later.
[73:42]I'll tell you that.
[73:42]That orgasm is unironic.
[73:47]Unironical.
[73:50]Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
[73:51]Don't you think?
[73:51]Next, next band.
[73:54]This is the one
[73:55]that I thought of
[73:55]in particular.
[73:56]MGMT is one
[73:58]of my favorite bands.
[73:59]I saw them live
[74:00]at First Ave
[74:00]with Nick from Minneapolis.
[74:02]Had a great time.
[74:03]First Ave is such a good spot
[74:04]to see any band
[74:05]because there's enough people there
[74:07]to make it a crowd,
[74:07]but you can get close enough
[74:09]to like,
[74:09]feel like you're close
[74:10]to the band.
[74:11]So, MGMT,
[74:12]go ahead and hit play, Rob.
[74:14]Ben Goldwasser
[74:16]and Andrew Van Wygaard
[74:18]formed the band
[74:18]while attending
[74:19]Wesleyan's
[74:20]University
[74:20]during their freshman year.
[74:22]We weren't trying
[74:23]to start a band
[74:24]with Mark and Goldwasser.
[74:25]We were just hanging out
[74:27]and showing each other
[74:28]music that we liked.
[74:29]They named
[74:30]The Talking Heads,
[74:31]Orchestral Maneuvers
[74:33]in the Dark,
[74:33]OMB,
[74:34]whatever them,
[74:34]and those artists
[74:37]were definitely
[74:37]in their blood.
[74:38]They experimented
[74:38]with noise, rock,
[74:39]electronica before
[74:40]settling on
[74:42]with Spin Magazine
[74:44]called their current brand
[74:45]of shape-shifting
[74:46]psychedelic pop.
[74:47]So, great band.
[74:49]Did you know,
[74:49]listen to it?
[74:50]I listen to them all the time.
[74:50]Now, Matt,
[74:51]did you know that Aaron
[74:52]is going to join MGMT,
[74:53]but you know what
[74:54]it's called now?
[74:54]Middle MGMT.
[74:57]Middle MGMT.
[75:00]Very nice.
[75:01]Next group,
[75:02]Vampire Weekend.
[75:03]I did not know
[75:04]the history of these guys,
[75:06]but the band members
[75:07]met while enrolled
[75:08]at Columbia University,
[75:09]beginning with a rap
[75:10]collaboration between
[75:11]Koenig and Thompson
[75:12]named La Home Run.
[75:14]And La Home is probably
[75:16]some writer, isn't it,
[75:18]or something?
[75:18]So, let's give them
[75:20]a bunch of smart kids again.
[75:21]They bonded over
[75:22]shared love of punk music
[75:24]and African music,
[75:25]and I can't believe
[75:26]that Vampire Weekend,
[75:27]what we hear,
[75:28]came out of a rap group
[75:30]who liked punk rock
[75:31]and African music,
[75:32]but this little poppy,
[75:34]you know,
[75:35]group has put out
[75:36]some pretty good albums
[75:37]over the years,
[75:38]including their latest one.
[75:39]Remember,
[75:40]the Vampire Weekend,
[75:42]it was on one episode before,
[75:43]way back in our
[75:45]Abbey Road episode.
[75:46]Oh, wow.
[75:47]They were the number one song
[75:48]for the best song
[75:49]featuring a harpsichord.
[75:50]Jeez.
[75:51]My God.
[75:52]We did a harpsichord list
[75:56]and the number one
[75:57]was Vampire Weekend.
[75:59]I would have lost them.
[75:59]You want to hear the top five?
[76:00]Yes, please.
[76:01]It was Eminem,
[76:02]The Real Slim Shady,
[76:03]The Black Keys,
[76:05]Too Afraid to Love You,
[76:07]The Stranglers,
[76:09]Golden Brown,
[76:10]and The Doors,
[76:12]Love Me Two Times.
[76:13]Oh, my God.
[76:13]Such a,
[76:14]when I think of harpsichord,
[76:15]that's what I think of,
[76:16]for sure.
[76:17]That's it.
[76:17]Now, Matt,
[76:18]what was that last song called?
[76:20]Holiday?
[76:20]Holiday?
[76:22]I was wondering
[76:22]because they had a whole part.
[76:24]I'm going to edit this
[76:25]into the Madonna album as well.
[76:27]They had a whole part
[76:28]of the song
[76:28]about the macadamia nut cookies
[76:30]and the blue Gatorade.
[76:31]About how good it is there?
[76:32]Like, it's...
[76:34]What?
[76:34]At the holiday?
[76:35]Holiday.
[76:36]Or is that a quick trip?
[76:37]If I've been out of Minnesota
[76:38]too long, I'm mixed up.
[76:39]Still got a lot of holidays.
[76:41]You are correct, sir.
[76:43]They do it at a gas station
[76:44]with better...
[76:45]Rob, I did go into
[76:47]a holiday today.
[76:47]Yep.
[76:48]You're tempted
[76:49]by those rolling tornadoes,
[76:51]aren't you?
[76:51]Those meat tornado things
[76:52]they have?
[76:52]Two people in line.
[76:54]There's two checkout people.
[76:56]One person
[76:56]was in line
[76:58]buying lottery tickets,
[76:59]scratching at this thing.
[77:00]Yep.
[77:01]The other person
[77:02]was busy
[77:03]flipping through their phone
[77:04]for like five minutes
[77:05]trying to find their code
[77:08]for like their points.
[77:09]Oh.
[77:09]So they could get points
[77:10]for their...
[77:11]No.
[77:11]No.
[77:13]And Russell's there
[77:15]holding like
[77:15]the hottest mini pizza.
[77:17]He's like,
[77:18]oh, it's so hot.
[77:19]If I was holding
[77:19]a sex doll in there,
[77:21]I would have been
[77:21]the third most
[77:22]least annoying person
[77:23]in that building.
[77:24]What do you want,
[77:28]do you want the M&M cookies
[77:30]or the macadamia nut ones?
[77:32]All right.
[77:34]Last band.
[77:35]We've heard them before.
[77:36]So we've got
[77:38]Talking Heads.
[77:40]We heard
[77:41]Talking Heads
[77:42]Remain in the Light
[77:43]at number 39.
[77:45]This song
[77:46]called Take Me to the River.
[77:47]You guys have all
[77:48]probably heard it.
[77:49]It comes off
[77:49]the album
[77:50]More Songs
[77:51]About Buildings and Food,
[77:52]which is number 364
[77:54]on the list.
[77:54]We will hear this song again.
[77:56]In 1973,
[77:57]they were at
[77:58]the Rhode Island
[77:58]School of Design
[78:00]where David Byrne
[78:02]and Chris Franz
[78:03]formed a band,
[78:04]The Artistics.
[78:07]Fellow student
[78:08]Tina Weymouth,
[78:09]Fran's girlfriend,
[78:11]often provided
[78:12]transportation.
[78:13]The Artistics
[78:14]dissolved the following year
[78:16]and the three moved
[78:16]to New York,
[78:17]eventually sharing
[78:17]a communal loft.
[78:19]After the year,
[78:19]if they were unable
[78:19]to find a bassist,
[78:20]Weymouth took the role.
[78:22]Franz encouraged Weymouth
[78:24]to learn to play bass
[78:24]by listening to
[78:25]Suzy Quattro albums.
[78:27]Don't know Suzy Quattro.
[78:28]Have you ever heard
[78:28]of Suzy Quattro?
[78:29]Brynn asked Weymouth
[78:32]to audition three times
[78:34]before she ended up
[78:34]joining the band.
[78:35]So long,
[78:36]long way to come
[78:38]to being
[78:38]what is the Talking Heads,
[78:40]but they originally
[78:41]started at the
[78:41]Rhode Island School of Design.
[78:43]Interesting.
[78:43]You know who else
[78:44]was in their dorm room?
[78:46]There was a certain
[78:49]fish on the...
[78:51]What the fuck, Aaron?
[78:52]He just takes his glasses.
[78:54]What the fuck?
[78:55]Aaron,
[78:56]at least he listened
[78:57]to you this time.
[78:57]At least he learned you.
[78:58]You asked.
[79:00]For the most part,
[79:01]that was a really good list, man,
[79:02]until it was actually
[79:03]ruined at the end.
[79:04]We got Bard.
[79:06]We've got University
[79:07]of Vermont,
[79:08]of Vermont,
[79:09]Wesleyan,
[79:10]Columbia,
[79:11]and Rhode Island
[79:11]School of Design.
[79:12]So a lot of
[79:13]nice white
[79:14]bands coming out
[79:16]of the Northeast.
[79:17]I was going to tell
[79:17]at least a three-minute story
[79:18]about Billy Bass
[79:19]learning the lyrics,
[79:20]being afraid,
[79:21]coming out on stage,
[79:23]and you just said
[79:25]Billy Bass.
[79:26]You didn't even say a fit.
[79:26]Oh, my God.
[79:27]You said,
[79:28]do you know?
[79:28]I knew.
[79:29]You're right.
[79:30]You know what, Aaron?
[79:31]You're right.
[79:32]When you're right,
[79:32]you're right.
[79:32]You caught me in logic.
[79:33]All right.
[79:34]Next up.
[79:35]What did we do?
[79:37]Oh, that was
[79:37]Monkey Gone to Heaven.
[79:38]Mr.
[79:38]No.
[79:39]Mr. Greaves?
[79:40]Mr. Greaves, right?
[79:41]Yeah.
[79:42]Next up,
[79:43]Crackety Jones.
[79:45]Crackety Jones.
[79:46]This was a song
[79:46]that they said
[79:47]would often cause moshes
[79:48]at their
[79:49]concerts.
[79:50]Did you guys ever mosh?
[79:52]Huh?
[79:55]Like a little bit,
[79:57]but not really.
[79:57]I did a slam
[79:59]by Onyx growing up,
[80:00]but that wasn't really mosh.
[80:01]That was slam.
[80:02]You were just
[80:05]letting your boys be boys.
[80:06]I get it.
[80:08]I don't know.
[80:11]Moshing always scared me,
[80:12]though.
[80:12]I never wanted to mosh.
[80:13]Is that the fastest song
[80:15]we've heard
[80:15]out of any song
[80:17]we've listened to so far?
[80:18]Like, maybe Metallica?
[80:19]Metallica's got something
[80:20]that fast,
[80:20]but go back and play that.
[80:21]That's so fast.
[80:22]What's the fastest song
[80:23]we've heard?
[80:24]I bet there's a Sex Pistol one.
[80:26]You think?
[80:28]When it gets going,
[80:30]it's fast.
[80:31]Let's see.
[80:32]Yeah, this is moving.
[80:35]Yeah, definitely.
[80:35]I already think it's fast.
[80:36]You know what?
[80:37]Speaking about
[80:38]a fucking mosh.
[80:39]Yeah!
[80:40]Yeah!
[80:41]Let's fucking hit people.
[80:42]Said never me.
[80:45]La La Love You.
[80:47]La La Love You.
[80:49]They said that
[80:53]they'd need to make
[80:54]a silly song.
[80:55]Is this the one
[80:56]with the creepy whistling?
[80:58]I think so.
[81:00]Yeah, Shake Your Butt.
[81:02]Yeah, this is a weird song.
[81:03]This song doesn't fly anymore,
[81:07]does it?
[81:07]When you listen
[81:09]to what's going on?
[81:10]Probably not.
[81:11]If you don't think it's right,
[81:13]if you don't think it's right,
[81:14]Russell, I don't think it's right.
[81:15]Yeah, if you have to guess,
[81:16]if you have to ask,
[81:17]it's probably not right.
[81:19]Number 13, baby.
[81:20]Now, you might say to yourself,
[81:21]number 13,
[81:22]is this Aaron's,
[81:23]as he calls them,
[81:25]grunts
[81:26]that have to do all the work for him
[81:28]at the office?
[81:29]No.
[81:29]This is a song about
[81:31]the 13th letter of the alphabet.
[81:32]Aaron, what's the 13th letter
[81:33]of the alphabet?
[81:34]L?
[81:38]Aaron,
[81:40]I no longer want to have sex with you.
[81:42]Matt's right.
[81:43]It's an M.
[81:44]Oh.
[81:45]Okay, it's an M.
[81:46]And he did on the forehead.
[81:48]YMCA style.
[81:49]This is a song about Mary Jane, okay?
[81:53]And not the Mary Jane that's dead
[81:55]that you're dancing with,
[81:56]even though you also look like a corpse.
[81:57]Speaking of Tom Petty,
[81:58]this is the Mary Jane at marijuana.
[82:00]You remember when we were earlier on that,
[82:03]the monkey's gone to heaven?
[82:04]Is that in a lot of other songs?
[82:06]Because I recognize in a different song.
[82:08]Do you guys know what it is?
[82:09]What?
[82:11]No.
[82:11]I think it's Firewater Burn.
[82:13]Go pull up Firewater Burn by the Bloodhound Gang.
[82:15]Oh, my God.
[82:18]Yes.
[82:18]We're finally doing it.
[82:19]We're finally having the Bloodhound Gang on the podcast.
[82:22]There we go.
[82:22]Right here.
[82:23]You got it.
[82:24]Yeah.
[82:32]Are you talking about Frank Black?
[82:33]Yeah, there you go.
[82:38]Guess what?
[82:41]Aaron didn't know about Pixie songs.
[82:44]You know about Pixie songs and relating to the Bloodhound Gang.
[82:47]Russell, that's why I was like,
[82:48]I know that.
[82:49]I was like,
[82:49]maybe it's famous from a ton of songs.
[82:52]I was like,
[82:53]no, it's famous from the Pixies.
[82:55]And he even shouts out Frank Black.
[82:56]Black Francis.
[82:57]Yeah, it's cool, isn't it?
[82:59]Brilliant.
[82:59]Somebody from Billboard said,
[83:00]is the world ready or in need of a new act
[83:03]miming Ground Broken by the Beastie Boys
[83:06]and Ugly Kid Joe a number of years ago?
[83:08]Probably not.
[83:09]But here comes the Bloodhound Gang.
[83:10]Ugly Kid Joe.
[83:12]Wow.
[83:13]Best part of that was definitely the radio version
[83:16]where they donkey.
[83:17]The ee-haw, right?
[83:18]Oh, my God.
[83:19]You guys are way.
[83:20]You guys are Bloodhound Gang heads.
[83:23]I didn't even know that was the Bloodhound Gang.
[83:25]That's how embarrassed I was.
[83:25]The only song of theirs I know is Chasey Lane.
[83:28]It's about the adult actress.
[83:31]Never mind.
[83:31]Let's not get into why I know that song.
[83:33]Okay, there goes my gun.
[83:34]Great song, by the way.
[83:36]They basically made a pop song with three lines.
[83:43]We don't have that many other.
[83:47]I was thinking we don't have that in many other mixed gender bands
[83:51]like Fleetwood Mac.
[83:52]But definitely not.
[83:54]We don't hear this sound where we hear men and women's voices
[83:56]either singing together or trading off that often.
[83:58]Fugees were another mixed gender band.
[84:00]Or to said.
[84:00]Okay, yeah.
[84:02]Hey, this is their most popular song
[84:06]or one of their more popular songs.
[84:08]Been trying to meet you.
[84:11]To meet you.
[84:12]And they say it's one of their few R&B songs.
[84:17]It's got a groove.
[84:20]Yeah.
[84:22]Kind of that walking bass.
[84:24]And then, of course, they have to say whores like 30 times.
[84:29]I was like, this is stressing me out.
[84:31]Silver.
[84:32]I think at this point in the album, I just started all the songs.
[84:38]I was like, I don't want to pick any more places.
[84:40]Let's just go.
[84:41]It's a lot of songs.
[84:44]It's...
[84:46]They're all short, though.
[84:47]Yeah.
[84:47]Rob, did you talk about why they're short at the beginning?
[84:51]I might have missed it.
[84:51]Did you read that, though?
[84:53]No.
[84:53]Is it because it doesn't matter how big it is?
[84:56]Actually, a lot of people say that.
[84:57]Maybe in public.
[84:58]No, I was reading that the producer or someone was telling them
[85:01]they should make shorter songs.
[85:02]And they said, you know what?
[85:03]All of Buddy Holly's songs were short.
[85:06]And he played Buddy Holly's music.
[85:07]And they're like, if it's good enough for Buddy Holly,
[85:08]it's good enough for us.
[85:09]Oh, that's great.
[85:10]Brilliant.
[85:10]Gouge away.
[85:12]Gouge away.
[85:15]Another.
[85:16]Eye injury song.
[85:17]I thought this was a pretty strong finish.
[85:20]I thought it was a good song to end on.
[85:21]I agree.
[85:22]It works.
[85:22]And this silver back-to-back with this one
[85:26]is like a fun summary of what they were doing.
[85:29]You do have to keep in mind, right?
[85:32]We're talking, what, 1989 here?
[85:36]89.
[85:37]Written in 88, released in 89.
[85:39]If you would say this is 1994, I'd say, oh, yeah,
[85:41]that makes total sense.
[85:42]But 1989, this is an early, early, early.
[85:45]And that's why.
[85:46]But does this belong at 141 on the list?
[85:48]That's why we need to start talking about.
[85:50]Nope, not that one.
[85:51]We need to do our rating system.
[85:55]Don't think yes.
[85:58]This one doesn't have an emoji.
[85:59]It all does, Rob.
[85:59]No, I couldn't think of an emoji for rating system.
[86:02]Maybe I'll put a bone.
[86:05]That's what I'll put on it.
[86:07]You know what?
[86:07]Right now, I'm going to put a bone on there.
[86:11]Yeah, I spelled it wrong.
[86:13]Don't judge me.
[86:14]Bury the bone.
[86:16]You can put the legal scales on there.
[86:17]Oh, my God, you're frozen.
[86:20]You're so smart.
[86:21]What do you think?
[86:23]This album, okay?
[86:25]Pixies, do little.
[86:26]Does it do little for you?
[86:28]You don't think this is very good.
[86:30]I mean, it just comes to me sometimes.
[86:31]You don't think it's very good.
[86:33]This is a rolling groan.
[86:35]You did not like listening to this.
[86:36]Or did this do okay for you?
[86:38]Yes, I'm nailing it again.
[86:40]This is a rolling well-toned.
[86:42]It is a perfect album.
[86:43]Or is this a do?
[86:46]Do not little.
[86:47]Now, you thought I was going to say do more
[86:48]because you'd be like,
[86:49]oh, Rob is going to say more,
[86:50]but it's more.
[86:51]And I said not little.
[86:52]That means it's a lot, okay?
[86:54]Some people, if they say it's not little,
[86:55]that's actually a great compliment.
[86:56]And that would be a rolling bone
[87:00]that should have been higher on the list, okay?
[87:01]Speaking of do little,
[87:02]it should have been higher on the list, okay?
[87:04]This album is above 141, okay?
[87:07]Madonna Who?
[87:08]This album should be above it.
[87:10]What do you think?
[87:11]Rolling well-toned, rolling bone,
[87:12]or rolling groan?
[87:13]Matt, the Madonna Who question
[87:15]was rhetorical because, of course,
[87:16]she does not have a last name,
[87:18]so something to think about.
[87:18]I really like this album,
[87:23]and I really like the Pixies.
[87:24]I think I'm going to kind of steal
[87:27]a little bit of Russell's take here
[87:29]is that there's not really a song
[87:31]you know on this album, right?
[87:33]And I think that even in the top 250,
[87:37]let's say, if you're going to have
[87:38]a top 250 album,
[87:40]you should have some songs
[87:41]that everybody knows, in my opinion.
[87:43]There's going to be some that don't hit,
[87:45]but I think that this album
[87:47]is very influential,
[87:48]but I don't think it belongs
[87:50]at 140, 141 on this list.
[87:54]So if you were to tell me
[87:55]this is in like the high 200s,
[87:57]low 300s, I might say
[87:58]it's rolling well-toned right there,
[88:00]but I'm going to go with
[88:01]rolling groan at 141.
[88:03]Should be down the list a little bit.
[88:05]Definitely should be in the top 500,
[88:06]but it's a little too high of a ranking.
[88:09]Russell, what do you think?
[88:10]Rolling well-toned, rolling bone,
[88:11]or rolling groan?
[88:12]I enjoyed some of the guitar stuff on here.
[88:15]I thought it was pretty dynamic.
[88:16]They were kind of playing
[88:17]with like volumes and stuff.
[88:18]You know, they'd speed it up,
[88:19]slow it down, get loud, make it softer.
[88:21]For me, it's just not something
[88:24]that really connects with me.
[88:25]And Matt said, you know,
[88:26]this is kind of in our time
[88:28]of, you know, being kids.
[88:29]It's a little bit, you know,
[88:30]before our teenage years,
[88:31]but if I don't know the songs
[88:33]and there's not like a big hit for me,
[88:35]it's probably not something
[88:37]I'm going to come back and listen to.
[88:38]So I think it's really interesting.
[88:40]Music is probably very influential,
[88:41]but it really does little for me.
[88:44]So I'm going to,
[88:45]I'm going to say it's Rolling Groan.
[88:46]It's too high on the list.
[88:48]Rosie, what do you think?
[88:49]Doolittle, Pixies, 89.
[88:50]What do you think?
[88:51]Yeah, I put this on last time
[88:54]when I was watching basketball
[88:55]and it was actually really great for that.
[88:56]I was watching the Clippers and the Suns.
[88:58]I thought it worked really well.
[88:58]And so I was like, I don't know, man.
[88:59]I kind of, I kind of like this.
[89:01]And then, wow.
[89:04]And then the more I think about it,
[89:08]I'm back in that same spot
[89:09]where I'm like,
[89:10]we haven't heard Willie Nelson.
[89:11]We haven't heard Whitney Houston.
[89:12]We haven't heard Ohio players.
[89:15]Nina Simone.
[89:15]So I just, I don't know.
[89:16]I think, I think that they,
[89:19]they made some great music on this album.
[89:21]I think they didn't necessarily want it
[89:22]to be pleasant to listen to.
[89:24]And a lot of people took
[89:25]a lot of great stuff from it,
[89:26]but I might have to call it
[89:27]Rolling Groan also.
[89:29]That speech was wild
[89:30]with round ball rock
[89:31]playing in the background of it.
[89:32]I just got to say,
[89:33]it was enjoyed at totally separate tones.
[89:35]I loved it.
[89:35]Listen, unfortunately,
[89:37]you are all incorrect.
[89:38]Of course,
[89:38]this gets a rolling pre-smashing pump cones.
[89:42]Okay.
[89:43]I mean, this, that whole idea,
[89:45]pre-smashing pump cones.
[89:46]Of alternative music.
[89:47]Matt said it more eloquently than me,
[89:48]but this whole, this, again,
[89:50]we had it with,
[89:51]oh, we had it the other day
[89:53]with Black Sabbath,
[89:55]talking about how they invented metal.
[89:56]This you could point to
[89:58]as a definite branch in the tree
[90:00]that is alternative music.
[90:01]Like this is a hugely important album
[90:04]and that's why it gets
[90:05]a rolling pre-smashing pump cones.
[90:07]That's the first time I've said my bit twice
[90:08]and I regret it.
[90:09]Big mistake.
[90:10]Should not do that anymore.
[90:11]It's not that funny the first time.
[90:13]Depressing the second time.
[90:15]Pre-smashing pump cones.
[90:16]Live and learn.
[90:16]You can live and learn.
[90:17]Pre-smashing pump cones.
[90:18]Okay.
[90:18]Thought the rule of three would come in
[90:19]and help me out there.
[90:20]It did not.
[90:21]Okay.
[90:21]If anything, it's-
[90:22]Try the rule of four.
[90:23]Pre-smashing pump cones.
[90:25]Say it again.
[90:26]Okay.
[90:27]Rule of four.
[90:28]Don't think that's a thing.
[90:29]Just follow the words.
[90:30]I think it was like,
[90:31]it's almost like a Nike swoosh, right?
[90:33]Like you started
[90:34]and then it went way down
[90:35]and you're kind of slowly coming back up.
[90:36]All right.
[90:36]That's what I like to hear.
[90:37]That's what I like to hear.
[90:38]The more you say it, so.
[90:39]Next up.
[90:40]Finally,
[90:42]we have an album
[90:43]where I can sing about
[90:44]the two papers I wrote
[90:45]on adult films.
[90:46]It was porn in two essays.
[90:50]Born in the USA by the boss.
[90:54]Aaron might need like three weeks off
[90:56]from this podcast after tonight.
[90:58]What?
[90:58]He can't unsee what he saw earlier
[91:02]on that website you had pulled up.
[91:03]Yeah, that one.
[91:04]That he booked for.
[91:05]He booked for.
[91:12]Oh, you jack.
[91:13]Beck did it better.
[91:15]You better have a joke
[91:20]because I got one
[91:21]but you're going to have to edit it out.
[91:22]Does it involve a sex doll
[91:26]and my king gizzard
[91:27]and my lizard wizard?
[91:28]You nailed it.
[91:32]It's time to say
[91:33]You can read my mind.
[91:36]Goodbye.
[91:38]After the ceremony,
[91:42]you take her out
[91:42]for some dining, dashing
[91:43]and deep dicking, right?
[91:44]Oh my God.
[91:45]He put a triangle emoji
[91:49]over the triangle.
[91:49]Good work.
[91:53]Oh my God.
