Blondie: Parallel Lines (1978)

[00:00]Here's the part I didn't get about the movie Hitch is the part where he goes, I would go slap the shit out of that guy over there. That's the number one thing I would do as Hitch. Thank you. In 2024, friends. You know what the key to Hitch is? We all know that, right? What's that? It's the big fat guy getting the girl in a movie, right? Kevin James, right? Of course. It's like the Kevin James disease, right? Kevin James has given hope to how many hundreds of thousands, billions of men in the world, right? You watch a romance with a big guy, and it really is great as a big guy. Because you're like, you know what? If that guy can have sex with that woman who's married to you, Grant, anybody can, right? But then the problem is you watch a porn with a guy who looks like you, and you're like, oh, gross. Whoa. This is so gross. I don't know what it is. It's that fine line between like, wow, I can relate to this. And oh, God, who wants to see it's all white and also red? What would be the porn search if you wanted to find someone who looked like you in the video? Like, what would be the correct search terms for it? Probably tan.

[01:00]Beach. Beach. Tan lines. Yeah, tan lines. How about this? Tan lines, red face, sweaty, curly hair. I know what you're trying to do, Doc. You're trying to dox me, Russ. Yeah, hot. Hot tip. Hottip.gif. Hot tip. I got to edit that out, Aaron. I got to edit that out. You cannot just say that at the beginning. We haven't even done the intro. I'm not the first person to say hot tip in this podcast. You don't say that. I have to beep it again. I am not letting that go out of the podcast. You know somebody's going to be like, oh, my God. I'm going to be like, oh, my granddaughter recommend I listen to this podcast. I wonder what it's about. Rosie, I'm up in the cab. I can't. Did you say hot? Yeah. Is that what you're saying? Hot. Okay. Dolly, did you say you talked over the punchline of my joke? Hold on. I got to adjust my mic. I thought that's what I heard. Hot. Okay. I didn't want to say this to you guys, but if you talk over my jokes anymore, you're going to the Hague. Okay. I don't want to do it. It's international law. All right.

[02:00]In 2020. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. In 2020, four friends decided to listen to every one of the greatest 500 albums. You know what? I'm not editing it out. You guys are going to get what you want. You sickos. Okay. You want me to keep hot load in the beginning? I'm going to. But I'm going to. I'll say it again. Somebody's grand. Oh, my granddaughter recommended I see this podcast. You want me on that wall. You need me. What's it about? It's a hot load. Oh, man. I'm sorry. I wanted to learn about my favorite band, Blondie. Hot load podcast. In 2020, four friends decided to listen to this podcast. I'd listen to every one of the greatest 500 albums as a side by Rolling Stone magazine. Number one. This results in a text chain that celebrated the music, excoriated the order, and led us to making this podcast. We are far from experts. We promise to do almost no research. All opinions are our own, unless you disagree. Please sit back and enjoy. Beck did it better. We are all the way album up to. We are all the way up to album 146. We're albumed up. I love. I love bottom. Is that six? I love bottom. Nailed it. God, I'm good at this.

[03:01]And from now on, I'm going to do it again. 1978, it's Parallel Lines by Blondie. Listen, okay? We've got lots of time, okay? I'm not worried about time. We're only doing a single tonight. We can stay up as late as we want. All right? So let's just get into this. Let's just get into the cut here, guys. Let's just relax, like, feel it. You know what I mean? Matt is so mad. All right. So let's turn on the radio. And you know what? This is kind of a, it's a big, it's a big change for the podcast. Things are changing. Things you thought would never change and maybe secretly didn't want to change because it actually made a lot of good content. But things are changing and we have to accept it. So let's turn on the radio and see if the song applies to what I've been talking about. What's up, everybody? Welcome to KROB, K-R-O-B. Listen, R.I.P. to Russell's dating stories. Russell moved in with a lovely lass. Most of his stuff is in the trash. It's true. We're never going to hear about any more days.

[04:03]Translates like that one he had to translate. Have you guys ever gone on a date with a woman who doesn't speak the same language as you? Nope, but I'm here for the story. Russell would go out and get some wine with that girl who swore all the time. He went with the one who sent food back. And then there was the one or two who was pregnant. Oh! They were entertained. Well, it depends when you define life. His disastrous dates were always on my mind. All he ever wanted was some love to find. Now Russell seems like he's so happy this is bad for podcasting. Russ, we're only going. How's it going with you? So the other day I went on a date with a woman and she announced she was pregnant at about 10 minutes into the date. Russ found someone at long last.

[05:02]Wait, this might be good. This might be good for the podcast. Cohabitation, well, it sure is sweet. But we'll see what he says in a couple of weeks. When you want to hear about the greatest albums of all time. The twist is it all might fall apart, Russell. That's the twist of the song. I'm already trying to find every weekend I can to like get out of town on a baseball trip, work trips. Oh, yeah. Lining them up. See me out here. Look at our faces, Russell. We all think that's going to happen. Honey, can I go on a baseball trip with the guys? Yeah, like tomorrow. I'm just we're not going to plan it out. Oh, what's that? So listen, OK, welcome to Back to It Better. We're talking about Blondie, Parallel Lines. I don't even know if I said that earlier. And I've got three guys here whose favorite part of the album is where she meets John Lithgow. Yeah, Debbie Harry and the Hendersons. All right. That's brutal.

[06:00]Oh, that's right. It's not even like a known show. Oh, that's right. What do you mean? Not a known show. Russell, what kind of childhood do you think we had? Oh, nobody watched Uncle Buck and Harry met the Hendersons a hundred times. Is it a movie or a TV show? It's a movie. That one's a movie. Russell, if we did like a draft of like the top 200 movies of the 80s and 90s, that one doesn't make the list. Oh, yes, it does. No way. Absolutely. I never would have thought of it. Russell, right next to Uncle Buck. Who are you? I'm your Uncle Buck. Do I have an Uncle Buck? When Harry walks into the woods and you think he's going to be alone and then the woods come alive and it's all big feet. There's the family. And the family, big feet. You can't not cry, Russell. And you're wondering, wait a minute. I just went this whole movie and never saw Harry's dick. I mean, what's up with that? Right? Like, did they? I don't know if they just didn't give him one. You know what I mean? Or if he or if they shot it from like, oh, you can't see his dick from here.

[07:02]Like a soft core porn. You know, they kind of shot it like, oh, you could. You just kind of see his butt. Russell, we just took vacation. We went out and visited Rosie and family and then drove north into the big sequoias, the big trees, the Northwest. And of course, I had to say, you know, we did brought out all my Harry and the Hendersons line. And the kids had no idea. So, of course, we watched it when we were sitting in the Airbnb. They thought it was awesome. And then they were, of course, they were looking for Harry every time we were out in the woods in the giant sequoias. So, awesome movie, Russell. You're missing out. Does John Lithgow? Play Harry? No, he's the he's the dad. There's a golf course in Rochester where I heard you go out in the woods and meet Harry's. It was the gay hookup spot, Aaron. I get it. Yeah, I do. Okay. You guys throw away all your DVDs. They suck. You have Harry and the Hendersons. That's not good. Russell, if you don't think I think of Harry sticking his head out and making the car the police siren noise every time I hear a police siren, you are wrong.

[08:03]Okay, because it was brilliant. God, it's one of Harry's many skills. He could imitate sounds perfectly except for speech. Couldn't do that. And he was Bigfoot. Like, I don't know. He didn't have any other skills, but he could imitate something. Okay. He also said he had sad eyes. Listen, I've got Russ in Minnesota. Russell, how are you doing? Rob, unfortunately, this podcast will not be my finest hour. Instead, it's the one I spent watching you shower. At this rate, Russell, it's going to be your finest two hours. It's a single. You don't have to go to bed. I've got Matt from a hunting cabin somewhere. I'm not sure where Matt is. Matt is a new. No, way up in the middle of no deck. And Rob, one way or another, we'll get through this podcast in a timely hour so I can get to sleep. Yes, because Matt definitely hasn't been drinking too much. And I've got Aaron out in California. Aaron, how are you? Now, listen, Aaron. Geez, I'm just taking a back. I've got Aaron. Who's the I've got Aaron.

[09:00]Who's the human? I'm going to send Hans. Who is the guy who Hans blicks? Okay. I'm sending Hans blicks over to you. Aaron. He's going to inspect you. He's going to inspect your silos because you're going to the hag. I think Hans blicks was a peg. All right. So here's the deal. I've got Aaron. Who's the human equivalent of having sex with your shirt on in California? What's the joke? That Aaron is the human equivalent of having sex with your shirt on. Nobody ever has sex with a shirt on. God, I'm so glad I kept the shirt on. That was a great idea. You know what I mean? Like you never get done and go, oh, good. Now the shirt is sweaty, too. Boy, I'm glad I kept. I'm glad I kept my shirt on. What if I had taken it off and we contacted each other? Do you ever wonder about Rob's intro quotes that he doesn't use? Like, what do those consist of? I don't understand. What goes to the trash bin? Do you want me to go down to the bottom? What gets crumpled up and thrown away? You want me to go down to the bottom of the ones that have just gotten pressed down? I hope this podcast doesn't soon turn out to be a pain in the ass.

[10:02]Let's talk about Blondie and Parallel Arts. Okay. I'm going to burn my last two Aaron intros that I've shoved all the way down to the bottom of my notes. Go to the way. Go to the way. Go way to the bottom. So the bottom is two of them. Aaron told me the 88% of people are dumb. Thank God we're the other 22%. That was one. Oh, okay. Not good enough to use. Way better than the sex with the shirt on. And the other one was Aaron who told me he had a penis joke for me and then just sent me a picture of his own penis. Like, that's the joke? It's a penis joke. Okay. Listen, you guys asked for it. That's not bad. All right. Listen, let's get into, let's get back on track. Okay. Stop distracting me. Let's get into our voicemail. The foodie's on the phone. Won't leave me unnoticed. So, by the way, I believe three weeks ago I said, hey, we've got lots of calls, lots of texts. Don't need you, actually. Well, we have gotten zero since then. Absolute zero. We've gotten bupkis. So, please. This feels like a, this feels like a, I don't want to get into politics, but this feels like a governor who is talking about their surplus until all of a sudden it's a deficit.

[11:03]Like, we've not played every voicemail that you said we had. Like, what are you doing? Rob, what's going on? Are you selling these voicemails on the side? What's going on? I think maybe when I get two voicemails, I think we have an infinite number of voicemails. Like, for me, you know, you know how, like, some cultures, like, they didn't have big numbers. So, it was like one, two, infinite. That's me with voicemails. It was like, those are the base infinite. I don't get how we go so quickly from too many voicemails to zero voicemails. Well, listen, this is a good one, though. I do think. Dudey, I did respond about the Amazon package. Check your Instagram. Demi's once in a while. So, there was Jim Ross. Good God almighty. Good God almighty. They killed him. Hold on. Is that Magic Marks music? Slumber. Fucker. He said, check your Instagram DMs. He said, I have been sending you stuff. So, I want to show you what I've got here, guys. This is what he sent us in his Amazon package. So, remember, if you remember the story, Magic Mike, 69, super fan, okay, who commented on the podcast on Apple, iTunes.

[12:05]I immediately criticized him vociferously on the podcast. He then changed his review to incorporate my badgering of him. And then we were in Las Vegas. He finds out where we are. He sends us a package to the hotel. A super fan. He didn't find out where we were. Because Russell is definitely afraid of him. So, we kept saying we were going to like Paris or whatever. And, you know, we went to another hotel. So, yeah. I'm very risk averse. I'm not going to be around some guy who should be the topic of a song on this Blondie album. I think every other song is about a stalker, by the way. Perfect one for Magic Mike to text in on. Listen. This is a text. This is a text message, not a manifesto, guys. We're fine. Don't worry about it. What he sent us was, and here's what the package was. Socks and a book that is foot fetish photo book, wonderful feet photography, sexual picture book for fetishism gift ideas, men for women.

[13:04]And then another one, foot fetish photo book, wonderful feet photography, sexual picture book for fetishism gift idea for men, women. He sent two books and socks? Hey, Rob, Magic Mike gets you. It's okay. Magic Mike gets you. But wait. He'd been sliding into your DMs and we just, this was over a year ago, right? This was like last year's Vegas trip. Yeah. I do not check the Instagram DMs. Instagram DMs, the number one way for a fan to get hold of us. Also, the last thing I check. Actually, if you want to get hold of this, leave a voicemail, please. I'm begging you. But just to let you guys know, somebody at the hotel said, you know what? This package has been sitting here for about a year. I got to know what's inside this. He opens it up and he goes, hmm, okay. Should not have opened that up. Should not have opened that up. Just another Thursday. Yeah. Right. It's probably the least weird thing he saw that week. This package of socks and fetishism books is the weirdest thing I've ever seen in Las Vegas. Yeah.

[14:03]All right. Everybody in my house is walking around. You know what? Magic Mike 69 is the thought that counts. We appreciate it. I do. I know I do. I appreciate you. I'm with you, man. Magic Mike 69. All day. And I've got something to put on my wishlist. So, I think we're all happy. Happy now. All right. Let's get into. Oh, no. I got to resize this. Let's get. Jenny's making coffee, apparently. Not a big deal. Audio fidelity. Nobody cares anymore. All right. Let's get into. We're making coffee at 1130 p.m. Rolling, going. I don't know why she's making coffee at 1130 p.m. It's time to see whatever. She's looking at me. It's time for. She's looking at me, Ray. I wish our listeners could see the terror. I think it could. I didn't hear you, Ray. Oh, how are you? Hi, how are you? All right.

[15:01]So. Is she going to put a roll of quarters in the washing machine and let that thing rip or what? Well, you heard the espresso machine. I didn't hear it. Rob, I may have mistaken that for Lenny Kravitz Vibroto. That one made it through customs. It's like, why do we have so many C batteries? It's just like under the bed. You're cleaning the bed. It's like, roll that whole C battery coming out. You're like, what the hell? Where did these come from? We're at the batteries under the bed. A lot of the thing he's going to is like a huge flashlight, right? Yeah. Yeah. And why would they need so many? Something would eat the energy so quickly. Yeah. I mean, really quickly, like weekly, actually. It seems sometimes maybe it's like, Hey, maybe we should just get a rechargeable thing and set it up.

[16:00]And then they get recharging thing for that. I mean, if you see a couple, I'm just going to ask you right now, you go into a couple's bedroom. They've got a rechargeable C battery thing right by their bed. Is there any question that what that's for? Oh, what else do you? Oh, yeah. A C-PAP machine. Oh, C-PAP machine. Do you have a boom box that you're loading up with C batteries to take to the beach? Remember when we did that? When we were younger, we had like boom boxes and it was like, yeah, man, I need these fucking D batteries. And you're putting in like 10 of them. Take it out for like a half hour dies. You're like, fuck. That was like a hundred dollars worth of batteries. That's true. I did have one of those big towers with this like multiple CD changers. Yeah. If it wasn't plugged in, it was like 10 D batteries. That's true. We just accepted it. We're like, yeah, it's big. The batteries are big. A lot of batteries, right? Makes sense. And you know what? It was like, oh, it's sound, big batteries. In my head, that made sense. If it makes sound or light, bigger batteries. Yeah. I got a Coleman lantern right here next to me. Eight D batteries. So I got eight of them.

[17:01]Why do you have a lantern next to you? Because I'm in the laundry room. That's where we keep the emergency supplies. Oh my God. I forgot. Oh, now you're depressing me. Aaron, we're only going, I was going with you. It's going good, man. You guys, I don't, it's, I was not prepared for the volume of events that would happen at the end of the school. School ended today in Oakland. So it was last day of school yesterday. I was not prepared for the massive number of things that would be happening this week. So I spent a lot of time in school. A little bit. I did finish a book this week. I finished Stella Morris, which is one of Cormac McCarthy's new books, which was a lucky day book at the library. So I was excited that I finished that. Found out once I finished it. Wait, what is lucky day book at the library? Oh, the lucky day book means it's like popular books that are hard to get and they're just on a special shelf. And if you happen to walk in, they're there, they're available. You get 21 days, no holds, no renewal. So it's like, you gotta, you gotta finish it in 21 days.

[18:00]If I was a librarian, I would just put the biggest hunks of shit on that. Like lucky library. It'd be like, it'd be like a John Tyler biography. You know, the secret society of pickup artists, everything you can imagine. Just a bunch of gems. I love the idea of Russell, the angry librarian who is pissed at people. He cannot believe they're reading. And he's like, Oh, they want to read. I'm going to make them read shit. Cause I fucking hate books. God. I can't believe I'm a librarian. I hate this fucking place. Just yelling at every kid that walks in. Shut your mouth. You know, shut up. They start yelling. Of course I finished the book and then realized that it was actually the second book in it. It was in a duo. So I got to go back and read the other one. But the big thing, you knew that when you finished it and it said the end of part two, I was like, Oh, I guess I didn't know anything about this Bobby person who's spoken about through that. The entire, but, but good book. I enjoyed it. I'm not usually a Karmic McCarthy guy,

[19:00]but I definitely enjoyed it. Um, here's my question for you guys. Do you have a favorite recording of John Henry, the story of John Henry? Because here's what happened to me today. Do you ever, in the sub question, do you ever find that maybe you're working in the wrong industry with the wrong people and find yourself a little bit out of place at work? Does that ever happen to you? Is that just, yeah. Yeah. And you're thinking to yourself, like questioning all your life decisions of like, how did I get trapped in this? Never in the cycle of my life. I thought it would, I thought it would get better, but it's actually pretty much the same every day. We, we, we have that conversation at work often. Oh God. So it's the analysts with the, the younger kids. And like, they're like, what, what, what, what's going on? They, they ask all the time, like, what, what is this real? And I'm like, you know what? This has to be like every other office. Like there has to be the weird lady who was like a virgin until she was 50. And then finally wants to just tell everybody about it and things like that. Right. I'm sorry. We're going to need to hear more about it. There has to be like the weird guy,

[20:00]you know, things like, I mean, there just, there just has to be like weird people in every office. You just don't get along with, you can't find, I'm convinced. I keep trying to find, you cannot find a spot to go work where it's all cool people who are just trying to all pull the same way and not just get a paycheck and go. Right. I mean, like it just has to be every office is that way because it wouldn't work. Cause then like the, the people would become uncool. Like it's all the cool people. People were in one place. So yes, I do. We have, I have that conversation often. So I'm talking, I'm thinking a lot about artificial intelligence lately. Right. I'm thinking about all these advances in AI. And of course it makes me think about the legend of John Henry, right? Cause he fought against the steam engine because that was going to take people's jobs. And he said, nope, I'm not going to let the steam engine take my job. And of course he, he died trying. So I'm, I'm giving a presentation in a couple of weeks. He died trying, but he died after doing like a ton of work or like, right. Like that sucks. Right. Is that like, it's not like he went and found a hammock in a, in a Corona instead of the beach and just went,

[21:01]went into sleep. He like hammered rocks forever and then died. Right. Like Elon Musk, Elon Musk would watch that, watch that and be like, yeah, I need some fucking John Henry's. We got to go to this shit. Like how many, how many did you ask? What's your favorite version? How many different versions are there? Like, I think I've only known Johnny cash. Don't I? Well, that's different than the, that's the fun thing is I mostly only knew Johnny cash, but I'm, I'm having this conversation with my boss today and I say like, yeah, I'm going to give this presentation on chat GPT. And it makes me think of John Henry and here's what happened. And he died trying to beat the steam train. And I say, have you ever heard of John Henry? And she says, no, that's the end of conversation. That's like, I got to go talk to my buddies who understand me. But then I did start listening to a bunch of different John Henry versions. Go ahead, Russell. Aaron, are you, are you giving a presentation on AI because like your boss has asked you to, or you just like feel the need to do so? Yeah. It's a free, it's like a, it's like a rotating facilitation meeting. You can talk about anything you want.

[22:00]So that was my, that was my choice. Does, does chat GPT cut down the number of people that you have to report to you? So like, are you doing this so that you don't have 13 people coming at you? You only got like two or three. Well, that was my initial thought. And then it's like, you take that to its logical conclusion. Like I can be replaced eventually too. So no, I think the 13 people will be reporting to the machine is what it is. Yeah. That's exactly what will happen. Yeah. Like I'm not necessary anymore, but no, I did spend a fair amount of time listening today. So I found four, I should have sent you a list. Rob found four excellent versions. One is Bruce Springsteen's off of the Cedar sessions. That's fantastic. Lead belly. And those are like all library of Congress type things. Lead bellies is fantastic. Dave Van Rock. Super great. Actually, maybe I only found three. Those are the three big ones. And then let's pull up. Let's pull up the Dave Van Rock one. Right. Yeah. Van Rock. Oh, you guys don't know Dave Van Rock. Isn't he like a West? Isn't he like a West bank? Like a Minnesota guy. I feel like he performed in Minnesota. I think he, I think he played center field for the pirates on the same team as Sid

[23:02]Bream. Andy Van Slyke. I used to have an Andy Van Slyke poster. When you type in Dave Van Rock does autofill. So he is somebody. It's a fun rock. All right. The legend of Mark Henry. All right. Let's check this out. Is there a video? No, I've got, Oh, is that on Aaron? Are you going to make me, you're making me go to a fucking band camp. Are you serious? Are you serious? Are you serious right now? I don't even have a YouTube video. Aaron, Aaron, we're on band camp. It was on. Can I just tell you, do you know how many Muppets videos I find on YouTube? You can't find Dave Van Rock on YouTube. You cannot find Dave Van Rock. He's only on band camp. Aaron, this is like, this is like sometimes one of my Bing searches when I'm like being too exacted, you know, it's like white carpet, white carpet, amateur. Very. This is what I feel. I feel dirty at this part of the internet. I do, but this does kick ass.

[24:01]Yeah. But how'd you find it? How'd you find Dave Van Rock? I just started searching for John Henry, you know, versions of, of John Henry. And you did this because your boss, and you talked about it. I guess she was like, I didn't. Yeah. Cause then I was like, well, I got to find a song to play in my presentation. I got to find the right one. Wait, wait, wait, wait. Hey Aaron, you know, she asked you for a song to play in her presentation. And you said, the legend of John Henry, a legendary, like eight minute song. No, she didn't ask me for a song. I told her the story because I, because AI makes me think of John Henry. Hey, I've never heard of this. If AR starts replacing jobs at Aaron's work, you think they're going to look beyond the guy who had to find Dave Van Hawk, John Henry song and played that for people. Oh my God. Option baby. So, so somebody,

[25:00]the boss is going to go home and like tell her husband, like, Hey, listen, this guy, this guy today played for me all these different versions of John Henry. The guy goes, Oh, how did that happen? He goes, okay, so let me go backwards in time. He was giving me advice for presentation about AI that he chose to put on where he was likening it. And he suggested, am I right, Aaron? Is that the story? Yeah, that's very, that's very close. Yeah. What? And that was going to be like, please don't talk about work anymore. But that's why I was looking forward, looking forward to come talk to you guys today. Cause I know you guarantee. So that's why I'm here. Could what, what, how could we put, jet chat, GPT or AI to use to help this podcast? What would be the steps we would take? Would they be making Rob's parody songs? Would they be doing the, the intro five sentences? What would they be doing? That's the whole thing. Like don't tell the writer's union, but yeah, you could replace people with it. No problem. If you think I am not one week of summer break away from feeding AI, Aaron's voice, hundreds of hours of Aaron's voice that I have and making an Aaron's voice

[26:01]clone that I can make him say whatever. And whenever, I want, cause that's my main problem with Aaron is the whenever we can record this podcast at 5. P.M. My time type in Aaron's voice, Rob, you're so funny. Ha ha ha ha. Easy. Rob, I try not to laugh at you. Ha ha ha ha. Oh yeah. All that stuff's coming for us. That's why, but that's why what we're doing is so important because we're real humans. Go ahead, Matt. Sarah went down this whole rabbit hole with photographers. Right. And like, you can literally just take a picture now and say, put me, you know, 15 feet in front of the great wall of China. Right. But make it 68 degrees and partly sunny. And then it changed, you know, and it just makes it perfect. She's like, I don't know what photographers are going to do. This is nuts. You know, this is crazy. So I don't know. It's, it's one of the, it's a weird thing, right? Trying to figure out where the bottom of that well is. If you knew somebody who had seen a, maybe like a, I don't know, kind of website, a category thing where it was just AI porn,

[27:00]where it was like AI created pornography. And that person told you about it. Would you think, oh, that's cool. And maybe funny. Maybe we can mine it for content for the podcast. Or would you say, well, that's too weird. Actually, we need to have an intervention with this guy. Which one would you say it is? It feels like a little of both. I mean, I'd be curious. Did it work out? Was it like the, I would ask this person if they, if they knew what they're watching. It didn't work out that long. All right. It actually weirded. It actually probably weirded that person out when he really thought about it. Cause then he, he started thinking about John Henry and he was like, Oh, this is, I am John Henry, but for Jack, it's a real Steven Tyler moment. Hey, we're going to get a machine to Jack you off. What? You'll never get a machine to Jack me off as well as I do. Rolling going, Matt, how's it going? Good. I'm up at the cabin, which North Dakota, Dakota, North Dakota,

[28:00]which is always just interesting. Right. And so I had this whole thing about, you know, I think that the equivalent of the MAGA, the hats up here is wearing dude shoes and you know, those new dude shoes. Have you guys seen those dude shoes? This is a whole, you know what I wear? I, I don't think I know anything that's occurred in pop culture in the last 12 years. I don't think I can tell you a single thing like that. That's a good picture. They're dude shoes. And so they're, I mean, they're, Hey, dude shoes. Hey, dude shoes. But I think you pronounce it. So I think you pronounce it. I was already just ripped. Hey, dude shoes. You pronounce it. Hey, dude shoes. Hey, dude are wearing the gutter. The go to the men's ones. It's a gray ones. Then he dude on Nickelodeon was a better show than hearing of the Henderson's like these, these gray ones right here are the ones most people, but then a good buddy of mine in Minneapolis was wearing them the other day. And so I just can't rip them. I don't know. I can't put him in that category. I can't shade them like that.

[29:00]So my new thing, chicks who are wearing the guy versions of Hey, dude, shoe dude. Hey, dude shoes. I don't know. They, they creep me out. So that's just, that's a little side note. Okay. Matt, Matt, I didn't want to interrupt, but Russell thinking, Hey, dude is a better show. That Harry, the Anderson's is the most insane thing I've ever heard in my entire life. I was trying to just go by it. I was just trying to go by. It was not even as good as salute. Your shorts, Russell salute. Your shorts is better than, Hey, now that's, yes. We hold you in our heart. When we think about you, it makes me want, I hope we never part. I'll get it right. I paid the price. That's a chill. That's a joke. What was that guy's name? Uh, ugly. That was the, it was like Bob Lee, but they called him. I just got, I just got that joke. I wonder why they called him. Oh my God.

[30:00]Who's the red haired guy? What was his name? The one who said, you know, it makes me want to fart or something like that. Yeah. Yeah. And then when you saw him in terminator two, you're like, Oh shit, that's the guy from, Hey dude. You know what I mean? Like I'm tapping my mom. Like that's, that's him from Hey dude. Kevin ugly. It's so good. Ugly. So I made it up to cabin and I'm up here. Uh, just my mom came up with me just cause she's retired. Doesn't it? You know, just, Hey, I'll go right up with you, but didn't bring the rest of the family and you know, secret. Oh, you know, I really, I tell him like, Hey, you know, we got to open up the cabin really takes a lot. Yeah. Of course. And that can have all sorts of stuff. You know, I just think I'm an easy street and I turn on the water today and I'm listening and I'm, and it sounds like this fan is going somewhere. Anytime you turn on water and you're listening, that's very bad. Right off the bat. I'm going to tell you that right now. Normally, but right. But Nick,

[31:00]so of course the main, one of the main water pipes underneath the cabin and like the worst spot ever. Yeah. Actually blew over the winter kind of, you know, like when he turned it back on. So my paradise had actually turned into actual work. And so I was crawling and deep dark spaces all day and calling Sarah's cousin, Brent Brent. I wish I knew Brent Huber plumbing. We're sponsored by Brent, Brent Huber. Oh, nice. Is this because he helped me out that you go to lunch with him, but you guys, like if you run into other family members, you leave, is that the same cousin? Oh, no, no, Brent Huber. Thank you for laying pipe at Matt's house. Yes. And so he, why he was talking to me through it. So we appreciate that. Oh, Russell, we completely forgot. Rob, did you know that we've got a new editor on this, on this podcast? No, I must've missed that. Yeah, we've got, I think, I think I, what would we settle on Meg from the Berg?

[32:00]Meg, we can't actually say Pittsburgh. So we just have to say like Meg from the bird. We said Pittsburgh, but yeah. Okay. So this is a Meg. Meg from Pittsburgh produced show, by the way, just so everybody knows what's going on guys. I am. I'm Rob. Rob, if you don't come out with us, when we go out with our, with our college buddies, you choose not to come. You miss out. Oh my God. This is an inside St. Olaf joke for even you're not a part of anymore. I'm also not a part of it. Rob Russell. Nobody has been using the other text chain. Russell. Okay. I know that's what this is about. I know what this is about. We have not used that text change. Russell. I promise. Okay. We're not talking about moving in at all. I think what he's getting at is we ran into one of our friends. We went to the Frenchman off. What does that matter? About 66 and 66 and like 14th, you know, it's just past 12th. It's just past the, the new auto zone, you know, Keo's barber. That's not there anymore. Cause he's not a barber anymore. It's about a block east of there.

[33:00]And if, for those of you who are just joined us, okay. And you're like, Hey, I actually like this podcast. It's normal and not really weird. Uh, the reason Matt's barber is not there anymore is he is in jail. Well, he's out. He's out now. The one with the olive burger. I don't know. It's the one, you'd know it. If you saw it, where is it? Matt? 66 in Chicago or something. 14th. So we go. Just when you think, just when you think last episode, Aaron didn't participate enough. He swings in on this one and dunks the alley oop on olive burger. Oh, is that the one with the olive burger? All of us immediately respond. We have no idea. Cause we would never even notice that it wouldn't even, we wouldn't even see it. Barry knows Barry. I love, you know what I love? Barry was there. Well, then he would know. I love the grip of the burger, but the taste of olives. I wish something huge was the taste of all of us. Nobody, nobody's like, God, I wish these all of us were huge. Like the size of a burger. Gross. It's a burger with olives on it. Oh my God. Go ahead. I thought it was made from olives.

[34:01]Honestly, burger with olives on it. Sounds even grosser to me. Like that. It sounds worse. So you would just, just a huge olive. That's pretty bad. Black or green olive. But throw a burger with that big black, that black olive or that green olive. That's even worse. That's worse to me because the burger's right there. It'd be perfect to scrape those olives off. I bet I've scraped a thousand olives off things in my life. Easy. Well, Matt, this probably proved Peter from Ann Arbor's point. So we go, we go, we have beers with Peter from Ann Arbor and Barry from Birdsville. We show up and we're sitting, we're having a few drinks and, and Peter from Ann Arbor's significant other Meg from Pittsburgh is actually like a big time podcast producer editor. I'm very well established. And we were kind of like, you know, we talked to him a little bit about the podcast. Barry from Burnsville is asking questions. Peter from Ann Arbor's asking questions, man, I just basking in the glow of being award-winning podcast.

[35:02]So, and we start talking and we're like having hundreds of listeners. We have hundreds of listeners now. Yeah. So we're like dozens. We're like ragging on like professional podcasts. Like we do ours better than ESPN. It sounds better than this. And we'll never run out of voicemails. And Peter from Ann Arbor essentially says, well, we were trying to say, Hey, maybe his, his wife is significant. Other would listen and produce one episode for us. And it would be, you know, fantastic. And he kind of said, she's pretty harsh on podcasts. And Matt and I had like the audacity to believe like, well, ours is actually pretty good. So we think she'd like it. Yeah. I think, I think I'd be like, what is your advice? Would you say a hot load in the first 10 seconds of an episode? Or not? What's your take on that? I think allegedly she's like into the, a lot into the like fact checking or what is it? I don't even know. This is a technical term. I'm, I'm dumbing it down. It's, it's much more than this, but like, you know, checking all, like if somebody says that they were at Richfield high school in 1999,

[36:01]she does the checking and making sure that like the podcast is actually telling the truth. Right. And so basically Peter from Ann Arbor was like, well, I don't know if you guys would even have a podcast, based on, you know, her actually checking all the facts and listen, we're not that worried about facts. Most of them. I think thinking the burger was a big olive. I don't think that's crazy. That's not me getting the thing wrong. But so let's be clear. She has, or has not listened yet. I don't think so. No. Yeah. That's probably for the best. This is, so this is a, this is going to be produced by Meg from Pittsburgh. So if we say it enough, first of all, Meg, we just say it enough. Maybe she'll listen. I don't want your feedback. Okay. I'm going to, I'm going to preempt this whole thing. We don't need feedback. We don't need feedback. We talked to, we talked about that too. We told Peter from Ann Arbor that one of us might not take very kindly to his proposed edits. Deep dark spiral. Your lettuce Kravitz, Lenny Kravitz Vibroto would have gotten totally cut out of two episodes

[37:01]ago. Unless, unless the Lenny Kravitz Vibroto killed a bunch of women in the seventies and then everyone would listen. Oh my God. I can't wait to listen to this. It's way better than the one that has hot loaded. The beginning and we're getting in trouble from that. Give me a true. That's a real criminals right there. True crime. We should do a true crime podcast about how they're the true criminals. How do you cook an olive burger? Medium, medium. Well, low and slow. Yeah. I'm definitely a medium, medium burger. Even sometimes medium. Well, it's fine. Like a ground beef is not worth. I think that's my favorite thing about all of this. Oh shit. Guys, I forgot to tell you. Just give me a second, Aaron. All right. My favorite thing about the olive is the texture said nobody ever. Who, like it's the texture of an olive. It's literally like the eyeballs. It's like kind of springy. Yeah. It's delicious. Oh no. It's if you, if you ate an olive and somebody said, Oh yeah, that was a gland. You'd be like, well, that makes it actually taste like that. It makes sense. I've eaten glands. I've been cooking my burgers too hot guys. I finally, I cooked some 80,

[38:00]20 burgers the other night. I lowered the temperature on the grill down to more of like a medium. Turned out much better, much less shrinkage. I feel so much better. I just wanted to share. Have you tried the, have you tried the indirect heat yet? Do you have a gas? Yep. Is it gas or what is it? I got gas. Yeah. Okay. So you got it. You got it. You got to get that really hot on one side, but then the other side, it's super low and you put it on that super low side and just let the heat get just nice. This is dad talk. Dad talk has been brought to you by the second cheapest drill. It's the direct heat that you got to be careful of. It's the direct heat. That's what dad talks. Got it. I'm going to have Matt come out and cook me. Next time Matt comes out, I'm going to have him cook me a burger. I'm not doing it myself. Yeah. Russell rolling, going, I'm in the kitchen. What should I put on this delicious burger? We have some olives. One like some salad. Yeah. A little bit of funk. Maybe some blue cheese. I think Rosie, I think the next time I make, I make a mean burger, right? A little bacon, a little onion. That's average. Everybody puts onion powder. You eat onions? Onion soup mix.

[39:01]I like the taste of onions. I do not like the texture of onions. Therefore, I put onion soup mix. My grandpa, my grandpa, when I was a kid would just have a plate of like raw onions. And I was like, this is the ultimate thing to eat, right? I love that. Literally just sit there with like a sliced up onion. Oh, I do love that. There's a guy I used to work with who would eat them like an apple, then dip it in ketchup and then just, just take bites. Oh no. That's next level. Wow. Oh no. Yeah. Aaron, did you say something that you appreciate the guy who ate raw onions? Yeah, I think that's great. I think that's marvelous. Hey Aaron, just picture you at a restaurant. Here's a guy just mowing down raw onions. And we're all thinking of the guy in the same way. Old, weird, and then you see Aaron and then you see Aaron in the background and he's going like this. Hmm. Annoying nod. Like, yes. Salute you. I salute you, sir. This man's got it, got it right. You see an old man. Please, I'm begging you, man. You see an old man, right?

[40:01]He's eating those burgers. It pans out. There's Aaron in the back. And he sees, this is who he wants to look up to. Swift salute to the guy eating onions. Sir, I appreciate you eating whole onions. Aaron, what the fuck are you talking about? That's so weird. Guy eating onions? 100%. He's got long sleeve dress shirt with tucked into khakis. For 100%, right? Like that's the guy eating the prawn. Yes. 50%. Yeah. He's got a pocket protector. I, or, no, no. 75%, 73%. He's got the phone case on his belt. He does not put his phone on. He's got it clipped on so he can get to that thing real quick. They'll sell you an onion, because it's only 10 cents. What? That's why you eat them? That's so weird. Okay, man. I'm so sorry. Go ahead. The onion eating man has also for sure got like a canvas baseball hat. Like, not like a real baseball hat, but like an old painter style canvas hat.

[41:00]Who's the dude in, in the sandlot? The kid that came? Smalls. Smalls. Remember the first hat he had? The huge long bill? That's the guy. The huge long bill guy. Just not even real. That's the guy. That's the guy. That's the guy. Okay. So here's my recipe and I would appreciate other people calling with their burger recipes, but it's ground beef, onion soup mix, an egg to hold it all together, barbecue sauce. And I think, and if I got bacon, I throw some bacon in there, but I think you got to chop up some green olives and throw them in there now, Rosie, and try it out. That's awesome. Yeah. This is, I think you're onto something. That was the hunger equivalent of blue balls where it was so good and then it was so bad. I, you know, can I tell you guys a trauma I had with this? I used to make very fancy burgers like Matt, where I'd put in all the stuff and I think about it, the different cheeses, what goes with the spices. And I made it for a guy, a teacher in Northern Minnesota and he turns to me and goes, what are you fucking cooking meatloaf?

[42:02]And I've never made it again. I just use meat now. I was bullied out of making fancy burgers. Mike. That's how I do it. I didn't. Yeah. I just do, I just do beef, salt, pepper, maybe some fish sauce. And that's it. Rob, you can't let a guy, a teacher in Northern Minnesota talk you out of making fancy burgers. You just can't. Aaron, did you say you put fish sauce in your burgers? Yeah. Is that something you just said? Fish sauce? Man, you putting fish sauce in those burgers? No, what is, I don't know if I know what fish sauce is. Fish sauce is made from oyster sauce and then go grosser. It's made from fermented anchovy. So it's like, it's just like the essence of fish. But it's like, it seems like putting Worcestershire sauce in there. It's the same idea. It's like, funky umami stuff. Yeah, they make it in like giant vats where they let the fish ferment and then they drain off the juices. And then it's delicious. Yeah. Hey, we should buy a bottle of it. And then, and then we get home and you already have

[43:00]a bottle of fish sauce. That's something you always have in your fridge. You're like, God damn, how old is this fish sauce? I always have fish sauce in the fridge. It's a big debate. Like, should you keep, I mean, well, that's the thing is like, should you keep fish sauce in the fridge or not? It's a, it's a, it's a raging debate. I'm sorry. Rolling on. How's the rolling going with Russell? Rolling going. Things are going well, but I had something this week happened that I didn't really know how to respond to. I thought, um, I can see what you guys think of it. See how you would have responded to this thing that occurred to me. Do you need a little advice? Is that what you're saying? Yeah, I can give you some advice actually. Get, get, get, get to the corner. Get to the corner for Russell's advice. Can I just say this? Oh yeah. We can still do dating advice too. Kind of right. Like to the audience in general, the corner for like married guy advice. Like we don't want to hear married guys advice. Maybe we need people to call in with their questions on dating advice. It's true. Do you guys think it's okay that your wife makes you put the toaster down below, even though you use the toaster on a weekly basis and it could just easily sit on the counter? What do you guys think? Oh, I just put it below. It's not worth the fight.

[44:00]Okay, cool. I'll just get out of the advice corner. Okay. All right. Go ahead, Russell. I'm so sorry. I'm projecting. I think I'm projecting. This isn't actually dating advice. It was actually, it has to do with friends. I, I got a text from a friend the other day and I didn't know how to respond to it. And I, I couldn't tell if this friend was looking for sympathy when they sent this text or if they were trying to, I don't know what they were trying to accomplish with it, but it's on this text chain. I believe all of you guys were on this text chain and it was my buddy Aaron and Aaron sent a text that he was bitten by a dog. Yes, by a dog. I was bitten by a dog. Yeah. And I didn't know how to respond. How do you respond to someone's text when they say they were bitten by a dog? Well, you know, you know, you're a lawyer, Russell. Why don't you, you know, give him advice on what he should be doing next. My original response, this won't go over well, was going to be, are you going to make that dog go the old yeller route? I figured there might be too many dog lovers that might get mad at me.

[45:00]And then, I mean, I, I, I kind of followed the story, but didn't somebody else from that text chain point out that maybe you were, were you trespassing? Yeah, that, that Steve, that's kind of a double-edged sword. Yeah. Aaron, what's the story? How'd you get bit by the dog? That's what my rolling going is. I want to know. Which windows were you looking in Aaron? I just, you know, when I sent the text, mostly I wanted to do a quick flashback. I want to put a flashback to our friend, John, who had some run-ins with dogs, probably delivering pieces in college. And so I just wanted to, just wanted to share and get some conversation going on a, on a Wednesday, you know, which is with some guys who I care about. We should be clear with the listeners. Our buddy, John is morbidly afraid of dogs. And he would deliver pizzas. And when a dog would bark, he would stand outside and scream. I am not bringing in your pizza. And then one time a woman started like yelling at him and making fun of him and like calling him demeaning names. Can you imagine? You know, that pizza? He had to go apologize if I remember right.

[46:00]I think that's true to keep his job. But yeah, I was, I was in the backyard. Lady, when you were yelling at me and making fun of me for being scared of your barking, scary dog, and now I have to come back and apologize. I was in the backyard playing ball. With my son and the ball went in our neighbor's yard. And it's a neighbor we know very well. And we often go get stuff out of their yard and they have a small dog. And did that happen? Cause you hit, you hit a huge bomb off your son. He was pitching. No, actually. You were like, sadly, no, you had your Hideki Matsui Jersey on. He was like, Oh, Godzilla. Big bad flip. The ball goes over there. I've been over there a bunch of times to get it. So it's not a big deal. They've got a dog over there, but that dog doesn't mess with me. But it turns out they had a friend visiting who had their dog with them. And that dog is apparently very territorial. And I did not know that dog was there. So I was in the backyard. The dog was in the house, ran out of the house through the dog door. It bit me on the ankle,

[47:00]punctured all the way through. Oh no. Yeah. So I had to go to the doctor, get some antibiotics. I did not text the text, Jan. Okay. When I saw you get bit by a dog, I pictured you getting like the very tip of your finger bitten. And it didn't even occur to me to text anything like, are you okay? How are you feeling? But now that I know a dog bit your ankle, that's scary, Aaron. This thing put a hole in my leg. Yeah. It was a crazy thing. It bit all the way through. So what do you do? Do you go knock on the door and say, Hey, I got bit by the dog or do you just walk away? No, you can't go over there. I walked away and came home because I was bleeding and I was trying to get my blood cleaned up. But, but Anna went next door and checked in with the lady and the lady of course said her dog was up to date. I don't believe it, but I don't think I have rabies. So, uh, yeah, of course the lady said, Hey, I'm a dog. Yeah. Aaron, Aaron, just blink twice. If you're going to make that dog get put down twice, you don't have to answer. Just blink twice. No, I'm not me. I mean, I should test his brain, Aaron. I was over there in the yard.

[48:02]I'm not a rabid dog. This happened on Tuesday. It's Friday night. Just say to him, Hey, listen to me. Just need your dog for a little bit. We're going to test the brain. Don't worry about it. Actually, the thing, the biggest thing that happened though, was, I got bit, I got bit on the ankle at like 7 PM. And then I was going out to meet some guys for trivia at 8 PM, which that's my next role in going is that I, the trivia has a music round. And I feel like I'm cheating at the music round. Cause I'm on a world famous podcast. So I go out with these guys, hundreds of listeners. We win trivia. I come home. I looked down and the blood has seeped through my bandage. So I felt it was like Curt Schilling's ankle. Like I went out, I won, I won trivia with a bloody ankle. Did you go on some extreme right wing? Rant like Curt Schilling? Oh yeah. You know, yeah, of course. I'm going to start a video game company. I'm going to start a video game company. Oh, I'm broke. Sorry. Don't know where the money went. No video game. Yeah. You guys know me. That was always the best idea too. Cause we were like, Oh, Curt Schilling's making a video game. Okay, sure. I'll buy that.

[49:00]Hey, not only is a hall of fame pitcher, I bet he's also a great video game builder. What were we thinking? We should never have trusted that guy. I did not know he made a video. Listen, that's between Curt Schilling and Hideki Matsui. This is the Beck did it better official baseball episode. Yes. We did. We pivoted. We talked about Andy Van Slyke earlier too. Yeah. I'm just going to throw a Kirby bucket in there. Oh no. So Aaron, do you go to the doctor to like get a shot or what's the next step in this process? Or are you just waiting to foam at the mouth? No, I did go to the doctor cause we're going to Hawaii tomorrow. So I didn't want to go to Hawaii and like get an infection in my legs. I went to the doctor. Yeah. They had me re-up my tetanus. And then gave me some antibiotics. So yeah, that's it. I think I'm fine. I love you very much. And I think you're honestly, I would say parenting wise, you're one of the best dads I know. Like honestly, like the way you talk about your child and you care about what they care about. I'm just so impressed by it. And that's why I got to ask you this. Do you think it's a bummer that your kids saw you totally dominated by a tiny dog?

[50:04]The tiniest of dogs took down his dad and ruined a whole trip, like ruined days. Did you whimper? It was kind of a bummer. It was kind of a bummer. Were you running from the dog with a bitch that you were running away from? No, I wasn't. I didn't even know. No, I just ran out and it just chomped my leg. Come back with your shield. Come back with your shielder on it, Aaron. Okay. This is Sparta. All right. Since you asked about my son, you may or may not need to edit this out. But there are two women who live next door. They're in their eighties and their names are. I was going to say nice, but I didn't. Nice. Their names are Jan and Nadine. And Nadine, Nadine was a nurse when she was younger, but Wallace remembered that she has told us many times that she's a nurse, except that he can't remember which one's Jan and which one's Nadine. So then like, once he figured out I was actually injured, he was like, mom and dad, I'm going to go over and get Jan because Jan's a nurse. So then he goes over and gets Nadine, who was the nurse and Nadine comes in. And so she's like very sweetly trying to offer like medical advice.

[51:03]And it's like, no, you know, she's in the house. So no, not only did you get, we get to pause this. He brought in, listen, the last thing I want somebody to see when I'm at my home treating a dog bite, is anyone a stranger coming in and seeing my dog bite? That's not what I want to see. No, but at some point, don't you have to just be like, yeah, that's not the time. Like, so when you're laying there and you're whimpering and you're, you're treating your wound, like you don't need, you don't need the old lady to come look at it. And he goes like, I'm going to go get the neighbor. You're just like, yeah, go do that. What do you mean? Imagine my kids come in with my neighbor from Iceland. Right. And he's like, Oh, what's going on? What's going on in here? And I'm down. I have pulled my balls down with my pants. Do you think I wanted my kid to go get the neighbor because I'm injured and they can help your vision of the Icelandic language is that they just say the names of their cities as an exclamation. It wasn't that dramatic, but also like he, you know, he's only six, like empathy is still kind of new for him.

[52:00]So like him taking the initiative to want to help out was actually like a big thing. So I was proud. That's why, that's why Aaron, you get my official best dad award of the week. That was it. Yeah. It was Rob Roland going. How's it going with you? Listen, how much did you guys love the milk man? You guys know what I'm talking about? Like that milk man comes in. Did you guys have a milk man? Cause we had a, like a dairy man. He would come in. No, no, no, no, you did not. All right, let's get into Mayberry in 1957 or what? Let's talk about the album now. I do not want to explain to you what I'm talking about because I thought everybody had this experience. Once a week, there is a huge dairy truck that drives up to our house and unloaded by a Barney Fife. By the way, pulling over that guy for jaywalking. I recall them coming into our house and putting it in the fridge. That can't be true. That just can't be true. Yes. And they would bring it.

[53:00]My mom would put orders for milk. No, it was in gallon jugs. That's the thing is it wasn't glass bottles. I'm not from 1954. You know what I mean? Like it sounds like there might be. No, it's regular. But then you had, you had a real affection. You had like, this was, you really looked forward to the milk man day. It sounds. because he also had a whole thing of ice cream sandwiches and you could order ice cream sandwiches as well. And he, so here's this guy, he's bringing in milk. He's bringing in half and half. He's bringing in ice cream, like two or three different kinds of ice cream. Later, did I learn that this guy caused a lot of problems I had growing up a lot of stomach issues I had growing up. I realized I could directly relate to this dairy guy who would deliver approximately four gallons of dairy every, every week to my house. But you guys didn't have this, huh? No. Was it, was this Schwan's? I remember people getting Schwan's dairy delivered, but that was mostly ice cream. Yeah. It was kind of like that. Yeah. The Schwan's man. We used to call him the Schwan's man. Yeah. No, I didn't have one, but I heard about it. What? It was like the upscale. It was like the upscale families in town had,

[54:00]you know, no, I was middle-class and I grew up on the streets. What? The streets where my ice cream man was delivering my dairy products to my house. I don't, I don't think we've ever really talked about how like Rob was part of the, like the bourgeoisie or whatever you want to call it. Like he's part of like the upper class. We've never talked about that. You had a sailboat. That's true. I did have a sailboat. I'm thinking about this now. I thought about that, Eddie. Why am I in a union? Why am I in a union? I should be crushing unions. I'm, I'm rich. I should be destroying unions. Why am I supporting them? So stupid. God, I'm the dumbest rich guy. Isn't there a time when like your dad just said, Hey, just pick out any car you want. Here you go. Just have a car. Well, I mean, he bought me a car, but I didn't get to like, wasn't it? It was a premise though. Like just what, what do you want? Pick out a car? No,

[55:00]it was a 2000. Well, was it new or used? Oh, did I get that? I can't remember. I'll never forget because I had it and I went in and I was like, they were like, listen, you need car insurance. And I was like, adult stuff. Meanwhile, I'm in college. Right? Like I brought a bass guitar to my college dorm room. This is, this guy should also not be out buying car insurance. So I never forget. I go to the triple a in or the, the state farm. It's triple a. Hey, give me some maps. So these are the same as insurance, right? Hey, can I see your ID and insurance? Yup. It's Wyoming. Aaron likes that bit. He likes that one. Triple a is my insurance. So I go to state farm and the guy goes, yeah, you should probably get a full insurance on the tires and the windmills. And I was like, yeah, you're like, he's fucking right. If my windshield gets damaged, I should have insurance. That seems like something that would get damaged for like three months. I was paying like, I don't know,

[56:01]$750 a month car insurance. So it eventually my dad like saw the bill or whatever. It was like, what the fuck is this? And I was like, it's car insurance. I don't know. I thought you had car. She's like, what did you get? And it was like full everything. Like max. Like if I had sliders on a video game, it was just moving it. Everything up. No, no deductible, you know what I mean? Like full tires, full, any scratches repaint in 10 years. I was like, yes, all of it, please. All right. So I wanted to talk to you guys about the dairy men, but that's not something that existed for anyone else. Well, the Schwanz man, it's time for guys. If you had the Schwanz man, let's talk about the send a voicemail and talk about the Schwanz man. Please convince me. I was not by myself. Listen, we are talking, we are talking about parallel lines. Okay. By Blondie. Okay. Blondie. Of course, you know why the band's named Blondie? Why? Because people would yell that to Debbie Harry as she's walking down the street.

[57:00]Okay. So she said, Hey, I'm going to take that word. I'm going to make it the name of my band. Okay. Which is why Aaron's band is named. Hey, you in the bushes. All right. You thought I was going to get in trouble for that bit, didn't you? And then I twisted it. I made it brilliant. This is the third album by Blondie. And it's kind of a lot of people consider this kind of the start of new wave. It's a mixture of punk disco, but a lot of a really pop sound. And with, you know, new wave, I kind of had to look up what that even means. And it was like pop punk instrument, but with a look like where they're really focused on the look like Devo, who's other new wave, the cure. Would you say that's their new wave? I don't think so. Talking heads. For sure. Yeah. We've had some new, I don't know that many new wave bands, but yeah, those things. I mean, it feels like it's, it's danceable, right? It's like, it's what eventually led to things like LCD sound system and the strokes and that whole scene. Oh, Aaron, dang, dang, you're good. Of course we saw, we've talked about Blondie before.

[58:00]Cause they started with television at CBGBs. This album comes out. Jesus. I forgot we did a television album. Man. And all of a sudden, yeah, I would not listen to that episode. All of a sudden it goes up to this album. It goes up to number six. They were already huge in the UK. They were just taking their time to get kind of caught up in the U S and on this album that was so successful, they had Mike Chapman come in to produce. He had worked with a couple of their bands, like the knacks. And just to get an idea of what it's like working with Blondie, they instantly hated him. Cause he was from LA and they were in New York, like underground street band. So they're like, we don't want to work for this guy. He's going to be terrible, blah, blah, blah. And he said, the Blondies were really tough. He said, they couldn't play their instruments very well. They, everybody hated each other. Hold on. Is the band Blondie or do you call them the Blondies? It's Blondie is the band, but you call, you're calling them the Blondies. Well, I think of the guys in the back as being the Blondies, right? I don't know. It's Blondie and the Blondies. Blondies. Well, it's like, we're like Robin. Okay. So they said that the, yeah, the Blondies. No, I said the Blondies.

[59:00]This is a direct quote, by the way. So you should actually be blaming this guy who I stole this quote from. Call into the Beck line. If you would like to be a Robbie, the Blondies. 802-277-BECK. Enjoy Robin the Robbies. Call in now. Can't think of a joke. I thought it would come, but it didn't. This is a direct quote. So she said the Blondies were tough in the studio, real tough. None of them liked each other. And they were all really juvenile in their approach to life. A classic New York underground rock band. They didn't give a fuck about anything. They just wanted to have fun and didn't want to work too hard to get it. But he coached them to get like perfect. This album sounds excellent. It sounds really good. It's well-produced. And apparently this guy went through hell and back getting these guys to do exactly what he wanted to hear on the album. And they were just remember doing the parts over and over and over again. Let's get into parallel. Lines hanging on the telephone. Not gonna lie guys. First time I listened to this album, did not care for it. Really? The next time I did it, I heard it open with this with headphones on.

[60:01]I was like, Oh, this is excellent. I love this. Oh, I had the complete opposite take. I said, if this, if they didn't have the three or four songs that you know, like this, I would have just shut this album. Listen right here. I mean, that's right. Great. That's, that's nails on a chalkboard. Ooh, sorry. Wow, man. I love it. That's a hot take. Oh, I, cause I listened to it the first time and I was like, Oh no, the podcast sucks. Now all the albums are bad. I was like, I don't, I don't know why I didn't like it the first time I listened to it. And then I don't know. It just hit me. I really enjoyed it. Single, by the way, got all the way up to a top five one way or another. One of the big hits. It's a good riff, right? Oh yeah. And that guitar sound sounds like, I don't know. It's like straight out of like Jeff Rotel or Iron Maiden or something. This is a fun one to look up live because they sound very similar to what they do on the song.

[61:01]Like it's a crisp guitar riff. It's really interesting to hear. I would not have known. I didn't, I did not realize this song was Blondie. I didn't know. There were a couple of songs I recognized that I didn't know. I just didn't know who they were. Really? Yeah. I feel like this was on the Zoolander soundtrack and that's why I knew it so well. Oh, there was one part of this song that was one of my, was it Zoolander? Zoolander soundtrack? I own the Zoolander soundtrack at 100% for sure. We'll get into that, but I want to let us know what else is playing here. Okay. No, I was just going to say, Aaron, I'm curious. What do you think of, is it, is it Debbie Harry? I was reading like, she's like often considered like one of the best front women in rock and roll, but what do you think of her as a singer? I think it's about attitude and delivery for her. And I think, I mean, I don't think she's like a fantastic singer, but I think, um, I think, um,

[62:00]you know, I sort of actually liked this album because it reminds me of bands like, um, Jenny Lewis, Jenny Lewis is a person out of band, but, and like, and the Ravenettes, like people who I knew and like, so I think, I think her sort of snarl and her attitude and her delivery are sort of what makes her an icon. I don't think she does like amazing things with her voice, but it's, you know, she's good to listen to. I heard a, I saw, I saw a YouTube comment that said she had a rage and she stayed in it. And that's what made her so good. Yeah. Right. I heard like a growl. Aaron called it a snarl, but like, there's just like a viciousness to it at times where she kind of like goes into this, like, I don't know if you'd call it guttural Aaron or what the right word is, but we were mentioning kind of that growl or that snarl to her voice. Rob, I give you a time to check this out. Like, this is one of my favorite parts in the album when, when she just gets into it here for a second. What is that? It's like this guttural singing, right? Like it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I love that. It's just vicious, but it's trying to make me think like, I will like, it just really appealed to me. And I wanted to know like, what are the other great kind of front woman sounds where it's just kind of

[63:03]like a snarl of viciousness to it. I thought we could do a quick list with some of those great moments from rock songs with front women in rock. I hope we get to hear some Tibetan throat singing. First song on the list, 1969. This is Janis Joplin. It's just vicious, isn't it? Yeah. It's so good. Yeah. Boy, I wish I could eat at a restaurant with their painting on the wall. Maybe, maybe I'll, maybe that'll be one of the vacations I take coming up. Sweetie, I got a surprise for you. Remember when we went to that 27 club and you said it was really weird. We're going back again. We just did a jazz job and list. Rob's making me go back. Next artist on the list. I was reading an article from,

[64:00]it was called far out magazine. The greatest front window of all time. Debbie Harry. They had his number one. Number two was Stevie Nicks. The song silver Springs. Yes. Yes. Russell. It's just intense, isn't it? I don't even know how to describe it. But it's just kind of vibe to it. Right. It's so good. Yeah. She didn't always do this. Right. Like she kind of did the like floaty Joni Mitchell kind of thing sometimes. And this is like, she's really killing it. Russell. This might be one of my favorite lists. I realized now this is the noise I love is like this growly. It's like women who are like mad at you. Like, he woke me up again last night. Yeah. Analyze that too far. I went to bed at seven 30 and you came in at nine. Next story. Melissa's 1980. We talked about her a few weeks ago. This is Joan Jett songs. Bad reputation. Isn't that awesome?

[65:00]Yes. It just rocks. Can you, can you imagine a song that's less true for any of us? How much would I care if I found out I had a bad reputation somewhere? Like if somebody's like, Oh yeah, they would, they don't want to work you. Do you have a bad reputation? I'd be like, Oh, it turns out I give a huge damn about my bad reputation. This is actually really bad that I have a bad reputation. Rob, what have you ever had a bad reputation? Have you ever had a bad reputation? I've never had a bad reputation for anything before. Oh, well, I did get graded as a teacher recently and you don't want to know the one thing I lost a point on. What's that? I'll give you one guess what it was. Actually, you know what? You sickos. I'm not gonna let you guess. What do you think it was? Hygiene. That's so much worse than what I thought you were going to say. Oh no. Oh, you walked around with poop on your jacket. Oh, that's soul crushing. That's soul crushing. That's soul crushing. That's soul crushing. That's soul crushing. That's soul crushing. That's soul crushing. That's soul crushing. That's soul crushing. That's soul crushing. That's soul crushing. That's soul crushing. That's soul crushing. That's soul crushing. That's soul crushing. That's soul crushing. That's soul crushing. That's soul crushing. That's soul crushing. That's soul crushing. We've hung out. We've hung out quite a bit, Russell. Oh, and you think it's my hygiene.

[66:00]Oh no. What did they doc you a point for? Organization. The same fucking thing that in fifth grade I got an S on. It was the only thing I got an S seldom. Seldom shows organization. Now, when I went to middle school, did I keep all my papers in a giant baby diaper bag? Yes, with no folders and they're all just mixed up in there. Like it was bingo balls. And this is why when I got an organization thing, I was like, Oh, I was like, Oh, I'm 43. This is literally 30 years later and it hurts so bad. You know what I mean? It's just like, you know, in your heart, like I, I have the Google drive organized, you know, like the next stuff is, I think you're more organized than you get credit for it. Thanks. Russell just thinks I stink like shit. Oh no, I didn't say that about Russell. Next thing on the list is from 1983. This is Bonnie Tyler. Totally clips of the heart. Living in a powder keg. Giving us a fart. Is this a safe space for questions?

[67:01]Yeah. Is she related to Steven Tyler? I'm not joking. I have no idea. I don't know. Is that like live Tyler's older sister? Listen to that voice though. God, she's so good. I did not listen. I didn't, I didn't, I never knew who the name of the singer was. All right. Last song. You've never been to a Bonnie. I went to a Bonnie Tyler concert. No, you didn't start at seven Oh five. It was done at seven 12. Strangely, no encores. Yeah. All right. Last song on the list. We've talked about her recently and she actually recently passed away. And I think a lot of her singing is really smooth, but I found this part. This is the best from Tina Turner. Check out this kind of ditches Wales for this one moment. Yeah. Ah, yes. Yes. Isn't that amazing? Yeah. She could rip it. So good.

[68:00]Rest in peace. I'm so glad you're playing this Russell. We've had this song repeat in my house for three days. I just been playing it all the time. For a lot of people, Tina Turner lived the dream. She gave up her American citizenship and moved to Europe. She did that. Yes. And I'm glad that's where that joke went. No, he's touching any, any of the rest of it. So that's one celebrity, you know, didn't vote for Joe Biden. All right. Next up, unless she committed a crime, in which case I've set up a phone number. Cause I'm very interested in voter fraud. Too interested. Actually picture this. What a lie. What a lie. Like there's so many good lyrics in here. It's totally bizarre. Yeah, it's true. Apparently they wrote a lot of these songs in studio. Like last minute. They had the song, but not the words. I'd always loved like I,

[69:01]I, whatever this style is, the sort of backward looking, you know, fifties rock influence stuff. I'm, I'm a sucker for that stuff. I love it. I love that reference of fifties rock fade away and radiate. Not as good. Listen, how many hours of your life? Speaking of fadeaways, do you think you practice doing a fadeaway jumper? I bet. I bet I put in 50 hours of my life into a fadeaway. Oh, wait, like with a, with a ball or like, yeah, with a ball and a hoop, that would, that's all I would practice were fadeaways all the time. I would say with a ball, 500 hours without a ball, another 5,000 hours. You want to know what I got really into as a kid? What's that? Shooting left-handed three pointers. I've like, I love Nick man. Excellent. Tony coo coach. So I would be like, we'd be playing out in the street and I would start shooting left-handed threes. Man. I saw a video of Rasheed Wallace doing that recently, like at his current age. And Rasheed can still get it done, man. He can still shoot the lefty three.

[70:00]I can't believe that Nick Excel sold that to Microsoft. Or, or, or his buddy, John, John van ho or whatever Aaron's guy that played John Henry, the, that guy's fan, whatever. Dave van rock. Dave van row. Dave van. PowerPoint is like, you'll never believe where I made my money. All right. Sold PowerPoint to Microsoft. You guys get that? All right. Pretty baby. I practice our zone, by the way. Yeah. This feels like it should have been. This feels very 50s, doesn't it? Yes. It feels like it should have been in Greece. What do you like better? I kind of like the songs that are raging or fast or kind of intense more than some of these slower ones. I like one, like I like picture this a lot. And then this one, I'm not like as much and pretty baby is like a little bit too much of a good thing to me. I think this would be a baller collar college vibe album. You put this on, you let them go. Every once in a while, you hear a hit.

[71:00]So they know that you're listening to something, but the other songs aren't bad. They're good to have out in the background. I think, I think this would have been a bomb if we would have played this when we were in college. I think if, if you're in the, in 2001, you're having a party at your house and you put this on, I think you get laughed at. I think it was the wrong time for it when we were in college. Yeah. I think people or people just ignore it. Probably. Boy, I just take it. It said, yes, he knows it. I had such a strong stress response to a college, a room full of college. It's laughing at me. Oh God, that really struck me. I was like, Oh my God, that still is hurtful. That was your whole thing. No, that's yeah. I was leading the Aaron. I was leading the laughter at other people, directed other people. Sometimes I think making fun of people is funny. And I don't realize that it actually hurts people sometimes. Okay. And sometimes I go too far and I make people feel bad. What? And then when they look, when they're feeling, you know, you have to make an apology song about when they're feeling bad. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Right. Yeah. Yeah.

[72:00]And when they actually feel bad and then they look over at your laughing hysterically at what you just said about them, that makes them feel extra bad that you think that feeling bad. It's also so funny. So, Rob, have you ever been like the butt of the joke and where everyone's laughing at you, but you're, you're not happy about it? Or they're all going to laugh at you. Yes, of course that's every time I get together with my family, they cannot let me, they know I'm the best and so they do not want me to experience joy. They know I'm number one and so they're trying to drag me down. The haters of which I have many in my family constantly bring up things like my organization, but I, um, um, when they could be bringing on the third this podcast not of love all right how about you were mad or air were you guys ever the butt of a joke like do you ever have a nightmare about some time where everyone was laughing at you out on the basketball court or something but of a joke till i was on this podcast first time in my life i was the butt of a joke i'm gonna have to look into that hey good thing you didn't invite him to your wedding yeah can i can i tell you russell as a teacher yeah listen i had a great speech all written up though uh all right i know but i

[73:02]don't know this one has some male kind of singer i don't know who it is but he's kind of just talking at some point i was like oh this is starting to get kind of weak debbie harry she actually starred on an episode of the muppets and she played the second song on this album one way or another but she gets an intro intro from kermit pretty cool and then she plays with the band check it out because here she is ladies and gentlemen the queen of rock and roll debbie harry or the queen of rock and roll wow russell we are now just sitting here listening to the muppets and i don't hate it honestly might break higher on my list if there we had more dr teeth i'm with it are you sure about

[74:07]that russell i am it'd be strange though because wasn't there a muppet named harry do you ever think him and debbie harry got confused you know what i mean like that generic blue one that was harry right like the henderson the muppet harry the henderson we did it we're back came all the way full circle can you imagine if what a journey it took wow wow harry the muppet was the third harry to connect today can't believe it all right let's get into 11 59 nope way past that here kind of a sci-fi song about how she's escaping to the future i thought it was kind of fun i kind of like the drumming on this album and i was reading a little bit like the guy kind of tried to pattern himself after keith moon but they kind of said like he was nowhere near as skilled and was like always on time and everything so they were like it didn't quite work the way he wanted to but i thought it

[75:01]was kind of fun it's like how we patterned our fadeaways off michael jordan like yeah yeah i need to shoot fadeaways even though i'm the tallest kid in my neighborhood by three years which also made me think i was good at basketball for years i was like i'm hitting everything i'm blocking i block like 10 shots a game okay will anything happen do you guys know that this band was originally called angel and the snake that's a better name do you think they should have kept their name yeah hell yeah yeah that's a way better name i mean the shirt makes itself right like it's that's easy i thought we could play a quick game can we play a game quick of course let's do it oh you guys remember games the game is gonna be i'm gonna give you guys the original band name i want to see if you guys can tell me what they changed their name to oh man i love this all right let's listen all right the first one mookie blaylock oh they were jam pearl jam pearl jam is correct the next one t-set t-set tlc that's so correct answer is pink floyd t-set oh like t-e-a like british t-set

[76:07]yeah the next one is the rattlesnakes do you guys know the rattlesnakes white snake uh zz top that would be the bgs what wow i think they were called the rattlesnakes is rattlesnakes better used to also not sing in falsetto then they went to falsetto and then oh that's me oh the next band is the sex maggots the sex maggots you guys know that one sex pistols right they went from the sex maggots to the goo goo dolls what's a better name well sex maggots is a better name but obviously they wanted to be played on the radio like if you know it's like it's like when you decide like oh i don't want to play in front of 50 people or don't want to sign a record deal with epic or whoever next one is the rain the rain the rain that one sounds familiar i don't know live you're close it's matt's favorite band oasis

[77:07]oh they were called the rain the rain oh man next one is a band called sweet children sweet children sweet children matt has seen them in concert erin has had dinner with one of them oh green day green day sweet children is now known as green day wow sweet children how about this one one of this is not one of matt's favorites they were known as the feedbackers Feedback or The Hype? Not one of Matt's favorites. Not one of Matt's favorites. The Feedback or The Hype? The Fat Boys. U2. U2 was called The Feedback, and then they were called The Hype. The Hype. Because The Fat Boys didn't start out as The Fat Boys. You know that, right? They were the big bone boys? It's when they got fatter. Yeah, then they were like, well, I mean, what else are we going to call ourselves? We're three exceptionally fat rappers. This is a weird coincidence that we met up. Next one on the list.

[78:00]This band has one of Rob's five favorite songs ever. The band is called The Pendletones. Ben Halen. No, it's The Beach Boys. The Beach Boys is right here. It's The Beach Boys. The Pendletones. Here's one we've talked once before. They came up once. I think we've talked. Eric might have known who these guys are. The band's name was Shrinky Dings. Shrinky Dings? Also known as Sugar Ray. Oh. Now that's good. And then the final one on the list is, I believe, a Matt Fair. The band is Tony Flo and the Miraculously Majestic Masters of Mayhem. Tony Flo and the Miraculously Majestic Masters of Mayhem. Florence and the Machine. Beastie Boys? The Red Hot Chili Peppers. Red Hot Chili Peppers. The Chili Peppers. That's a good one. So that's the game. That was the game of guess the band name change. Russell. That was fantastic. That was a top two game we've had tonight.

[79:02]Sunday Girl. This is a huge in the UK. Massive. I love her voice on this one. This one's so pretty. This is a pretty song. I think that's, I don't know who wrote all these songs, but I think they do have a real ear for melody and gotta give them their props for that. Next up, Heart of Glass. It's the third single. Intro of this thing, like from the start of this song, like this is a perfect pop song. They were like, hey, guess what? Everybody's going to love disco after this. Rolling Stone said 255th greatest song of ever. This song. I get it. I mean, this is a great pop song. Oh, it sounds so good. Yeah, like this to me is the new wave sound. That sort of churning bass and the rhythm guitar over the top. Like, I think that's what a lot of bands were listening to.

[80:01]I'm going to love you too. This is a cover of Buddy Holly. So you know what I had to do. I almost did a. List of the greatest Buddy Holly list, and it was going to be number one was Rob's Biggie mashup. Oh, yeah. Buddy Holly. Listen to the original. I'm going to say not as good, but I think I like Buddy Holly. Everything I hear, I'm kind of like, oh, it's kind of fun. But then when I played it for you guys, it wasn't like. Have we had, but we haven't had a Buddy Holly album yet, right? No. That's kind of wild. Like we had those 40 Hank Williams hits and no Buddy Holly yet. I'm not sure, man. That feels like we should have done a Buddy Holly couple of. I agree. I agree. Just go away. Picture this in a college dorm where everybody's chilling out.

[81:00]Good vibes. Like, just please go away. Well. Terry O comes in. Hey, that's my favorite band. Hey. I don't know actually if she likes this band, but it feels like she should have. All right. Let's get into the rating system, which of course is up here. It's got a bone on it. Got me again. The icon. Made me laugh. Folks. Okay. Is this. Like a rolling Kermit. Hey, there's no hair. Very not hairy. Okay. That would be a rolling grown. You did not like this. Okay. Is this like a Debbie Harry? It's a perfect amount of Harry. All right. That would be a rolling well-toned or is this better? Should it be higher on the list? Like one of the greatest Harry's of all time of and the Henderson fame. Okay. Harry Henderson. Okay. One of the greatest Harry's of all time. Everybody loves him equally. Okay. Everybody loves him equally. Everybody thinks.

[82:00]It's great. Can't remember why he got in. Didn't they shoot him by accident? Is that how he got into the city? Did they shoot Harry? Do not remember. Now, just remember if that was in Florida, it'd be called a skunk ape in the Hendersons because down there they call them skunk apes. One of the greatest names for big feet anywhere. All right. That's your cryptid news with Rob. All right. Matt, what do you think? Rolling well-toned, rolling bone or rolling grown? I think this album is rolling grown. I think it's got three great songs. I think the label of the queen of rock. Rock and roll is wildly misused with Debbie Harry. I just, I just don't get it from a perspective of being the greatest album of all time. The top 500 list. It's got some great songs. She's clearly a good lead singer who commands a crowd and all that stuff. I just don't get it. So I'm going to say rolling grown. That's too bad. Her dad's name is Harry. He's sitting at home listening to this. He's like, this is the second thing in my life that makes me mad.

[83:01]Including my name, Harry, Harry, Aaron, rolling well-toned, rolling bone or rolling grown. Harry, Harry, I salute you. Yeah, I enjoyed this album. I, um, like I said, it reminds me of bands that I listened to in my twenties. Um, I, I almost, I don't know. I happened to have listened to Blondie's other album or one of their other albums called plastic letters, which I think is just as good. Like it's a little more raw. I don't quite get why this is up where it is. I think, um, as Matt said, the great songs are great. Um, there's some skippers, so I'm, I enjoyed it, but I'm still going to give it a rolling grown. Would, would there be some Mary Ann's then too? Well, you said there's some skippers. There's a skipper too. The billionaire and the rest. That's a, that's a, that's a new theme song for back to the better. There's Rob and the rest. All right. Why would I do that right at the end? Put a slam on you guys. We've been doing so well.

[84:00]We've all been getting our feelings out today. Pretty deep stuff. Actually. Also, what do you think? Rolling, well-toned rolling bone or rolling grown? I would put you guys in the theme song. Just let you know. I'm sorry. Appreciate you, Rob. Thank you. I kind of got into the album. I was into it more than I thought I was at first. I thought, oh, this is only on the list because it's a New York band. I was thinking if this was from anywhere, if this band was from anywhere else, there's no way they're this high on the list. And I think that's probably true, but I really liked some of the songs. There were a few that were kind of slower, but I thought the lead singer was fun to listen to. I enjoyed the drums, even though he was kind of out there a little bit. But I enjoyed the album. I think it's probably too high on the list. I find it hard to believe we're not going to come across a pop album or a rock album that should be that will blow this one away over the next few weeks. So I'm going to say it's rolling grown, but I really enjoyed parts of it more than I thought I was going to. Guys, unfortunately, you are incorrect. No. This gets a rolling. Who are the other guys in the bound? The blown these. I mean, did you ever like is this band?

[85:02]This band is just Debbie Harry and some guys, right? And by the way, when you saw. How many guys were in Blondie? Were you blown away? There's like six. It's like a huge band. It's like a. It's like a. One of them is Gary Valentine, right? No. It's the only one I can name. I think. Hitman. Oh, OK. Then I read the wrong Wikipedia article. Aaron just clicked on Gary Valentine. I was like, all right, I got. I mean, I was just trying to guess, see if I can get one. The drummer was named Clem Burke. I believe he coached the Gophers to the 97 Final Four that was vacated. Never happened. Never happened. Hey, Bobby Jackson. What a player. That guy was fun to watch. I remember when I was like, I got to cut my eyebrow like Vashon Leonard. I got to cut my eyebrow like that. If I was if I had like access to a razor, I would have done it. I would have regretted it forever. Oh, my God. All right. Listen, unfortunately, next week. OK. Oh, I can't believe I wrote this.

[86:00]This is really bad, guys. I apologize. I heard there was a seat. I heard I got to sing it. I heard there was. The secret cord, the one I bring to my hotel room. Hallelujah. That secret cord helps me jack off because I wrap the cord around my neck. All right. That is Jeff Buckley with Grace next week. Oh, you made some great joke fodder on that album. Hey, why do you have this cord in your bag? That's a secret cord. Don't look at that. Why do you need it? Why do you need a six to eight foot extension cord on your trip to hotel? You'll always be within six to eight feet of the wall. You don't need extender. OK, guys, I have some regrets here. OK, I'm going to list them off right now. I've written down two jokes and I can't remember why these are funny. OK, so you're ready for this. Wait.

[87:00]By the way. All right. Rob, maybe if you were a little more organized, you would have remembered that gong at the beginning of the podcast. Yes. Seldom. I'm realizing I should have told you that because that is very triggering to me. Very triggering, actually. John Henry had a big vibrator. John Henry jacked off a hundred times. I wrote that down, but it was meant to be sung. I saw you write that down. What's the difference between the pipe under Matt's cabin and my wife? What's that? One of them. Jeez. Oh, God. I mean, that's funny. No, that's good. I don't know if Meg from Pittsburgh can keep editing this show. No, you cannot edit out the best joke of the podcast. Hit the triangle one more time. Maybe we just play a big beep and then everybody's like, damn, what was the best joke of the podcast?

[88:01]What could I possibly have done about? Huh. Huh. Huh. Huh. Huh. Huh. Huh. Huh. Huh. Huh. Huh. Huh. Huh. Huh.
