George Michael: Faith (1987)

[00:00]in 2020 four friends decided to listen to every one of the greatest 500 albums as decided by rolling stone magazine this results in a text chain that celebrated 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 up to album 151 and from 1987 151 man like that remember that it's like rob it's like it's like oh my god they got so fried last night they were

[00:35]drinking picardi 151 which in like retrospect is like oh that's like a cry for help like no normal person should be doing that you could light it on fire for god's sakes but back then we're like i mean i the number of times i stood in the liquor store was like this would be cheaper overall because you wouldn't have to use as much like just the idea of that like rob what's the bigger cry for help that or trying to break a bottle of aftershock so you can get the booze crystals out of it oh god i will say that is that that's a major difference like we should

[01:05]have just been using more ice in college like like how many times did i drink no ice existed until i was like 25 what was it go down to the ice machine what are you talking about we should have figured out a way like how about a cooler and like go buy ice at the gas station like we should have figured this out we drank so much ice i never drank anything with ice until i was probably in my mid-20s yeah like oh this is actually a much nicer way to experience this what might be a cry for help

[01:32]is i remember very vividly my senior year having a blender in my room frozen drinks like i think that might be a crime oh how'd you freeze the drinks did you go get some ice i don't think i for i don't know that's a great question honestly i don't think they're frozen yeah do you guys like grasshoppers when they're warm is that okay i only have so much cream to yeah this bottle of spray came out of the machine about two hours ago oh there was one guy that we had in our pod who had an extreme cry for help he was such an alcoholic

[02:04]that we went to i think it was firehouse liquor was that place you know out northfield it was like a dundas of the south you know not quite to the k-mart that's not there you're gonna pull it out like so he seemed like he was pulling down three there and he bought so many bottles of lime vodka because they were like four bucks each and so he just all he drank was lime vodka for like 17 weeks straight please stop you know that's the that and rip your schnapps that's that drink

[02:31]that did me in at that bachelor party i told you about that bachelor party right i went to that and i was wearing a shirt that says actually i am a rocket scientist and there's a picture of me just in the road with my hands sleeping like jenny like i'm on a roller coaster just the one of the worst nights ever and to top it all off guess what happened the night before i got to this bachelor party somebody had sex with a person at the campsite in front of everybody what like a random or what yes it was like a guy who was in the wedding party well he didn't

[03:01]actually come to the wedding but he had sex with this woman at the campsite so when i got to the bachelor party with payden they were like hey so first of all sit next to payden watch that would have been crazy but second of all second of all they're like oh yeah this guy had sex with this woman in the campsite we all watched for like 10 minutes and i was like what what and i'm here right what are we gonna oh we're playing golf today oh that's gonna be real fun oh what are we gonna talk about a golf oh how that guy had sex with somebody in public in front of

[03:31]everybody i mean i had not watched hbo real sex i did not realize that was a thing that you could just go do okay speaking of which back to it better today sponsored by hedonism 2 hedonism to a very real club in jamaica where you can go have sex with people so links are purple all right so i think i've almost gotten through the intro uh it's 1987 it's faith by george michael okay let's go to now let's turn on the radio okay let's travel back in time

[04:04]1987 this album guys it blew my mind when i read what a juggernaut this was so let's just know the times crazy oh it's crazy it's crazy all the awards i got let's just go to 87 let's get in our time machine everybody come on in okay look out for there's a lot of rivets there's some smoke it's controlled by one button it's listen it's not important just get in oh man it's gonna be controlled by a an xbox it's gonna be fine i didn't say anything for the last episode

[04:31]you guys were happy okay and by the way this comes out like in august so it's gonna be very timely let's turn on the radio still getting shorter let's let's see what plays oh yeah summer's almost over god back to the back to the mill you guys know what i'm talking about it's like bruce springsteen you know what i mean like i'm going but me at the end of august is like a bruce springsteen song let's turn on the radio we're in a time machine blah blah blah hey wait a minute here's my mom hey rob that gives me some ideas what i just got a text that says my downstairs

[05:01]neighbor is really loud should i make a noise complaint is this a problem oh my god russell okay text back why are you always like this okay and actually you know what that fits well into the theme of this song let's let's talk about this right now russell this is a that was a perfect segue and i shouldn't talk and ruin it what welcome to k-rob k-r-o-b and today we are giving a little shout out to all those people out there

[05:32]who have moved in with somebody else and they need to know what to say to that special someone well big papa rob's been thinking and instead of thinking of what you should say i think it's better to think about what you shouldn't say things like relax you always get this way or wow your feet and lower legs look just like your mom's oh yeah russ finally found mrs right he wakes up and makes her coffee looks up he's the part of potty

[06:10]that blocks his brand of you but he's gonna need advice about living with a new lady so here's some things you shouldn't say that's too many pillows maybe the problem at work is you don't ever say that her shoes look comfy don't ever say you remind me of this girl i used to date

[06:32]don't ever tell her her head is lumpy don't ever say how long does it take to get ready we were supposed to leave at eight when you move into your place you're gonna share space if you want to be happy just watch what you say say say i would just threaten to kick her out i think that's your best bet just be like i don't know if

[07:22]this is working out one little thing listen russell okay do not tell her that she's got too many pillows i just want to go over those jokes again because i thought they were good do not tell

[07:31]her that she might be the problem at work don't do what i did that one time where i said wow that's a great story could you tell it again okay they do not like that what's the one about the lower legs uh i don't know what that was that was a weird one that was a ghost writer somebody wrote that one i would never say that you know what if my wife had legs like my mother-in-law i'd be happy and that's weird on a lot of levels i don't know what that was that was a weird one that was a ghost i can't believe i just said that everybody everybody's gonna hear that that's got some layers that one's that joke's got legs to it that one's gonna keep going oh yes now i'm what you what

[08:06]are you guys doing for pillows on your bed if i want to if i went into your bedroom right now we've done this before and i was putting on a single track recorder somewhere in that room where how many pillows are in your bed aaron how many pillows on your bed three no that is so bizarre there's no way you've got three yeah one for me and two for her that's it i mean it's like when you order mozzarella sticks at the restaurant they give you five no one's ever wanted five give them four or six or eight

[08:34]no one's ever wanted five and i have one imagine sleeping with a one pillow guy oh yeah just one pillow makes me happy no more pillows my wife and i sleep with four she's gone she's in paris right now i'm by myself okay you're babysitting your kids i'm babysitting the kids yeah and i use all four pillows now i've got a pillow on this shoulder i've got a pillow on this shoulder i'm taking a pillow and put it between my legs and sleeping with it there all night okay i won't

[09:03]say if it's her my pillow those are pillows she comes in and she's like the doctor says i have face crabs and i say well you should call him uh pubic lice face god now i'm back in middle school kids used to call me that all the time if anybody if anybody's watching and on this one they they hit the jackpot

[09:32]this is gonna go off the rails this is the second one recording that this is gonna go off the rails so it is technically the pubic lice face episode as to this episode right if this episode description doesn't have the very seo friendly term pubic lice face in it i'm gonna be pissed rob where's the hyphen there i guarantee will be the number one podcast that's related to pubic head lice or whatever you just said so face lice we will be the top face man

[10:04]yeah no just kidding i'll wash the pillowcases before she goes back something i don't think i've ever done in my life maybe when a kid threw up i thought about it i was like no that one better get washed you've never washed when i was in college i swear to christ i didn't wash my sheets for a whole semester it didn't even occur to me but it was i did have leopard print striped did i tell you this i had leopard print sheets my senior year of college

[10:32]they sold them at it i thought it was so funny to have like this total sex dungeon up on a loft and just and they and i was like oh it kind of smells like an animal now like that makes like i cannot imagine what that room smelled like now i can't i i'm changing my sheets what every week you guys change your sheets how often we change the sheets yeah every week okay we are talking this is back to the better i've got three guys here okay actually maybe maybe an extra guy is just

[11:02]watching just likes to watch he uh and we are ready to give advice to russell for all sorts of things he should or shouldn't say to his upstairs tenant i think is the term i think the term is used earlier yeah according according to the irs russell is the both somehow both the landlord of the place and is the charity organization it's either way i'm head of household you know what i'm saying some guys run their house some guys run around their house

[11:30]russell runs his house russell's email back to me can you please beep that whole section where i said that stuff uh i've got four guys here who thought he said i want tex mex shit wait a minute no no no i've got four guys here who thought he said i want your tex mex nailed it either way it sounds good i had some queso i went you guys know i went to chipotle i did get my first stripe in jujitsu i was able to do that okay i am now kind of a lethal weapon with these hands uh and i did go

[12:01]to chipotle for the first time in a long time i did get some queso from them i don't even think it's good queso it was good i love a cheese that's a liquid like i want a cheese where when i show it to my fancy cousins they're like you think that's fucking cheese rob i'm talking plastic cheese i'm talking liquid cheese give it to me rob how would you rank these cheeses a block of cheese shredded cheese yeah or like or like cheap nacho ballpark cheese like the and it's just dito's thing that you have to heat up fuck mary kill you got the block of

[12:33]cheese yeah the shredded cheese or the stadium nacho cheese last place block of cheese what am i doing with it i'm gonna slice it thin yeah no i'm gonna slice it too thick i mean that's what people cut cheese at home and it's too thick i don't need it okay if or if it's not the same thinness the whole way through if it's not a uniform thinness it won't surprise you to know that i cut cheese at home i'm a buck of cheese guy and you know what your cheese doesn't have stolen valor then because it doesn't have

[13:01]uniform thickness you know what i salute you so you're killing you're killing the block rob are you fucking you're marrying the shredded or the the stadium nacho tell you what gonna marry the shredded i mean gonna marry the shredded you can use it for a lot of stuff yeah okay plus what what are you doing to that stadium can i tell you what story i gotta tell you because i just thought of shredded cheese can i tell you this story bring it you gotta get bringing me back on track though later you guys know that my in-laws you guys know that my in-laws stayed at our place

[13:34]so my wife and i stayed in a hotel and if you recall what does that mean it when we got done with that thing it was like a pubic hair cemetery in there we both had shaved you know anytime my wife and i stayed in a hotel the first thing we do is shave our pubes what it was on it looked like shredded i mean it was like why do you say that like we know that already we didn't because i've told you that before i know he has talked about it oh yeah thank you you know what math's paying attention

[14:06]i missed that one i missed i have i had to shave this time i had these face lice things i've never heard of them before but they're really bad see the description uh listen and then next i'm mayor i am uh fucking i am effing i'll be back next time i'll be respectful i am effing the nacho cheese because it's kind of what you want the shredded cheese to be like there's so many times where you're just like the shred cheese you're like just get like the nacho cheese i want that put in the put in the microwave air in that microwave

[14:32]yours you try to change the shredded into the nacho but it never works it's not gonna work but just like that person who would be more fun to hook up with than mary if somebody saw you putting like liquid cheese on like a salad they'd be like this guy's fucked in the head shredded cheese that's fine you so the wife has to be more of a something where people don't look at you be like that guy's messed up i think brian from woodbury eats nachos every night he's done it for like 20 like 30 years in a row does he do shredded cheese or does he have like some sort of pouch of cheap the real answer

[15:03]you know you could you can buy a bag of shredded cheese right but the real answer is you get a block of cheese and you hand shred it and then put it on that's how you get yeah but later it does and later i'll go out and tighten my hat because i just came over on the mayflower i mean shredding my own cheese have you ever looked at the price of shredded cheese in the grocery store no because it doesn't matter where are you gonna not buy it if they're like two for a hundred dollars i'm sure it's a

[15:30]better it's you get a better melt there's nothing like the shredded cheese where they're like hey it's two for ten and you're like well i didn't want two bags of shredded cheese but you know what i am gonna take two every time you buy the more you save it gets me every time my gas is so cheap now uh listen that's a real inside joke for all you cub fans out there sorry i've got matt in minneapolis matt how are you doing i've got four guys here that want to talk

[16:04]about yeah whatever so i'm doing good rob all i want to say is i know not everybody has a body like you thanks for having me on the podcast today and thank goodness thank goodness for uh i've got russell in minneapolis russell how are you doing okay this might be my greatest one ever so hear me out guys for a second okay okay but if you could speed up we're trying to get this done quick aaron you may need some time off from this next emotion some time to pick your

[16:31]heart up off the floor your city shows no shows no love for public financing devotion for your team and despite your reverse boycott john fisher is showing your shitty baseball team the door oh but at least you had faith faith faith but at least you had faith faith faith that's just deep always had faith see i would say it's now now they're the las vegas ace ace ace but you gotta have ace ace ace you gotta have las vegas ace i think we're stuck with them for another year so i'll be going to as many games i can while i can yeah i'll show that

[17:04]owner yeah he's his ass isn't buying blocks of cheese i could tell you that now aaron the other day aaron was telling me the other day he's out talking to people and he meets this guy and the strange accent so aaron says where where are you where are you from what's your what's your nationality okay classic aaron question he loves and they ask you this question and the guy goes i'm i'm uh from liberia i'm liberian and aaron goes all hail liberia hail all hail that's their

[17:33]national anthem it's liberia national anthem what the hell is he talking about you know where you can find the mystery where you can find the mystery section i can't i first of all man that's rude actually what you just did okay i have to say this that made me so mad that aaron cut me off when he knows this is a joke i prepare and i get

[18:00]stressed because i'm like running low on these i'm like i'm like typing in puns on twitter like please help me and then aaron came up with a joke and i was like oh my god i'm like oh my god i'm with that fact which is the mind which is the i just want to remind you he just sang us the national anthem for liberia and it makes it it makes me realize why i do this because it's moments like that that i realize aaron is a total psychopath and we get to talk to him so much and it's so great you see to be as shaved in a week i know well so this is weird though is that

[18:31]he met the liberian the guy goes so i'm liberian and he goes i'm sorry where are you from aaron please sing your anthem again all hail liberia hail all hail which of course makes me think of russell's bit of the angry librarian who hates books hey what i wanted to say to you is teacher there are things that i don't want to learn let's talk about faith by george michael all right here here we go back again to the russ's angry librarian

[19:06]aids book puts them all in spine first so i'll use the other pages like god damn librarian humor i i'll tell you what i'll it's lucky that do decimal guy did what he did because he was probably like he was probably like hey i should invent the decimal and somebody's

[19:30]like it's already been done he's like okay well i should invent a system to put away books okay sure oh you're going to invent a system to put away books do you think every kid growing up in the 80s is going to learn that for some reason get real rob i should i've just invented a system to put away my dvds it's called the rust decimal system i've got to keep them all now oh well i couldn't believe it was about the huey and louie decimal system all right so that was a good one you guys think i should cancel my spin class in the morning yes no no no is it before 8 a.m first

[20:05]of all you guys interrupted my liberian joke is it this weekend or not back because if it is you're you're done listen we do not have any voicemail so we are going to do a video breakdown wish barry from burnsville calling it video breakdown here we go lazy when you don't have their episodes up on time on tuesday rob well listen uh as you know it was the end of the school

[20:34]year so i went out and totally forgot to do it rob i think you're looking for opposite to track but it is very fun to watch i had this moment where i knew a few weeks ago that we were up late we are the podcast wasn't up but i was like i feel bad telling rob to like hey like i don't want to remind him and be a dick because he does all the work so like you should should i tell him or do we wait a day or what are we supposed to do when he forgets next time you should because in the summer tuesdays aren't

[21:03]really a thing to me like they're just kind of like there's a stretch of days where i'm home by myself and then there's some days where the whole family is here with me you know so yes i do not know what tuesday is i don't know what thursday is help me out please just judge it on how how wet the spot on the bed is right rob oh my god i i'm not no this is gonna be a clean episode must be thursday it's gonna be a clean this is gonna be a clean episode it's like it's like a 0.04 dampness scale now as aaron as aaron

[21:33]has pointed out we are doing the video opposite of track so once again he cut me off for the second segment in a row the robbie wetness decimal system i wish our listeners could have seen rob trying to google this video okay well what did i say here that i was trying to google i wrote two steps forward and it was like a ted talk i'm pretty sure this is a bag from pittsburgh production right and what yeah what i don't get is guess who's gonna need her help on the editing here guess who's giving

[22:03]the ted talk this is mc scat cat now of course we're going to be doing the video opposite of course this is opposite the track it's the famous video by the way you know what movie came out today russell uh 40 years ago no 35 years ago what movie roger rabbit who framed roger rabbit your favorite not 40 years ago yeah no what 35 you said you said 35 35 so that video which movie which russell often says is a very quote-unquote make me horny movie i've paused it

[22:31]on airplanes he's pausing on airplanes it's me and bob hoskins so that is and in your honor russell i am showing the second most famous cartoon with real things which of course is the video opposite the track which everybody knows the name of it that's what you'd google right away it's not a big deal all right uh and so we are going to see of course paul abdul famously dancing around with mc scat cat on the rap so like it here's a little story and you're sure to like it now and i'm playing it cool with my home girl why did paul abdul have so

[23:04]many good songs probably had a good team writing for her i would imagine i mean she was like an industry phenom do you think she was one of the first where they were like hey listen this is a laker girl who could dance she looks good we can make her sound good in the studio like does she start this kind of good looking superstar trend in music do you think i don't know she's skilled singer i don't think so i was trying to think if there

[23:33]have been other laker girls who became stars she was she was a judge on american idol she had to be a great singer right that's true yeah that's a great point now listen of course we are having a serious conversation while we were watching paul abdul dance with a cartoon cat and guess what it looks good right this still looks really good to me they're definitely dancing together who is this guy wouldn't you be pissed if you're like this singer on this video you're like i'm instead of being in the video you're a cartoon

[24:05]cat yeah you never even get to go to the studio or anything it's he's married to the woman who sang good vibrations or whatever that one was where they changed who it was did you guys see he's smoking a cigarette you don't see that in music videos anymore do you well there's a line in the song oh this is just kind of uncomfortable now it's risky well it seems i this is not this this does not hold up no it does not what like the 80s sitcom animation right

[24:35]it's weird though because yet he has a hole in the do you think he should his pants should go up over his front legs too because like a cat is on all fours right so the pants should cover the whole bottom half right i've never seen a cat wear pants before i don't know see i think it should be four legs should cat he's only got shoes on on his back feet too does he choose on his front feet as well

[25:00]that's a great point paul abdul can dance there's no doubt right oh there's no doubt yeah no they've used the scene a couple times now they kind of keep you can tell they're like we don't quite have enough so it's roger rabbit it's this what else out there what are the other great humans in cartoon moments what what else is there we're just crushing the podcast content right now

[25:35]i can't think of any human cartoon action feels like there's got to be a couple we just watched ninjago and the beginning has live action jackie chan and then the animated one has voiceover jackie chan do you have any urge to tell your kid like hey let's watch rumble in the bronx oh yeah i was like we should watch drunken master yes yeah drunken master so good yeah he's like fighting with the jugs of stuff

[26:03]and eating i love it noodles yeah oh it's like mary poppins or one of those really old ones oh yeah mary poppins yeah mary poppins rob's favorite song of the south he loves that one yeah you got it before i got a chance shit no it doesn't matter all this is getting edited out that video was it wasn't as exciting as i thought it was gonna be you know and you know what's the worst i've saved that for ever i've been like oh this is my emergency go to just in case we have

[26:32]to delete this voice and this is gonna slap because i'm gonna make so many jokes about the cat paul abdul having sex which i didn't i just want to point out i didn't do that so i should get some credit i don't think you made any jokes i haven't heard a joke in like four minutes all right so let's get into rolling going what was on bugs bunny and michael jordan what was that space jam space jam that's it you nailed it lebron james okay that's of course my space jam lebron james's space jam

[27:03]uh aaron rolling going how's it going with you it's going great it's going great um some new music out there's a new uh unearthed recording of john coltrane uh from the village not the village of vanguard the village gate i think playing impressions with eric delphi so it's from 1961 that's pretty fun i've been listening to that a lot how do they just find this stuff i mean right it's like yeah it's a good question it seems like they're always finding like drawers

[27:31]of tapes right isn't that weird that they just are like right well there's i don't know there's one from like when monk played at east palo alto high school where it was like the janitor had recorded it the tv show guy again like three weeks in a row no no no that guy was an anti felonious monk he hated felonies that's what monk hated this is felonious monk see i don't know i read the circumstances by uh by which they found this and i've already forgotten but i've been enjoying that but what i really

[28:01]we talked about crazy drinks in the first half i just say one thing i'm gonna interrupt you real quick i went to a jazz concert the other night uh i had and i gotta tell you i think the amount of jazz we've done on here made me a better jazz listener yes like i was listening and i was listening to like oh i they've switched time signatures here or they've i can hear a theme that they keep coming back to like every instrument and i was like i am enjoying this on such a deeper level than all these dummies who are sitting with me and

[28:31]they have never discussed jazz albums on the podcast so i just want to thank you guys because i i really really enjoyed it yeah i same thing same thing for me absolutely yeah i understand it now it's way way different yeah it's great and i had a perfect view where i could see all three people with not even moving my eyes so i was like i could it was great it was unbelievable sorry go ahead podcast is making everybody's life better no it's more interesting than i what i what i do have to say which is my newest uh favorite person on the

[29:01]internet is a an instagram account called red's madness and it's a it's a viking looking guy i think he might it looks like he's from like he wears a sir he wears syracuse gear a lot and he's exactly what like russell was doing in college except he's doing it on instagram where he's he's just like making crazy drink concoctions it's like we're gonna take the hennessy privilege we're gonna mix it with modelo and then you stir it up and then he drinks it and every time he loves the drink and i i love these videos i love the simplicity

[29:30]of them and he's always making drinks from like oh man russell would have loved that drink back in 1999 or 2000 and so that's my new it's my new favorite internet stop is red's madness uh instagram he's just he's just making crazy drinks yeah and every time it's the same he's got a glass in front of him with ice in it he's got you know some kind of liquor and some kind of sweet mixer he pours them together he stirs them up he gives you the shaka he drinks it and he says oh that's great it's so good and i just i love it i can't

[30:00]get enough of it and that reminds me of like those days in college where you'd be like i don't know what to drink because like i for a while i did amaretto sours like that's oh rob i should have been your bartender you want to do some of my drinks back in the day i don't even know if i can rename them though on this podcast and be inappropriate you know i know what i ended up doing though at parties all the time was do drivers just mountain dew and vodka just unholy stuff it was called a do driver but it was and there's a reason

[30:30]it's terrible yeah i just watched when we did uh seven remy martin 1738 mixed with uh watermelon sprite watermelon sprite wouldn't that just be sprite like watermelon doesn't taste that strong right it's mostly watermelon i was out at a festival a few weeks ago and i'm walking down the street they've got all these food stands and everything a watermelon juice stand

[31:00]i know he goes up he's like i need some of this watermelon juice like well shit i need some too i go and get it and end up just being like watermelon juice like i expected it to be something other than watermelon juice and it was kind of disappointing is it just water it just tasted like watermelon juice i thought it would be something else i don't know what i expected i don't get what you thought it would be i don't know like lemonade like if i just squeezed a lemon into a glass and drank it it wouldn't taste like lemonade it would

[31:30]taste like there'd be like sugar and shit in it so i figured some sweetness in there but russell if you got a cup of lemon juice you would expect it to just be the lemon squeezed in you needed to go to a watermelon watermelon raid stand watermelon aid watermelon aid why was it so easy for you what was i adding i thought it was gonna be i thought it was gonna be watermelon aid and not watermelon juice i was sorely disappointed well i i went to that place and i was disappointed because you know how they get the juice

[32:00]they juice all the seeds they try to get out of the seeds that's i would say that's the worst part don't juice the seeds there's barely any juice in there oh my god is this eric is this what you brought up here i yeah i lost i lost the connection for a second like watching the guy make the silly drinks on instagram but how's it rolling going with matt uh good i uh participated in a battle today also i had a god i cannot wait to talk about this please lord let's talk about this right now yeah so my kids we've heard about this thing called

[32:36]cardboard camp for a very long time kids finally got to go to it this year it's summer here in minnesota and so like what are you guys doing every day and like eddie comes home he goes i made a sword yeah you know he shows me this really cool sword you know and i said leo what'd you make i made a scythe he's got this big five foot tall yes and then the next day eddie makes this butchers but like what do we do one of these things well on friday like we're going to do last hour camp we have a battle what i'm like what you know what what do you mean you have a

[33:05]battle well see we fit you know all this stuff so like you got to come so i go and then they so then they hand me a sword right when i get there that you're in the battle i go what's going on yeah you're gonna whip these kids ass man so basically for the last week these kids have been doing nothing but building castles and making armor oh yeah making knives and swords and shields one kid dressed up as a turtle so his his uh his he could just hunch over and pull the turtle over him so he couldn't get attacked you know

[33:34]things like that so these kids are coming with all this creative stuff love it and at the end you've got these counselors who the the head guy was a substitute teacher actor and then he ran these cardboard camps in the summer and he could not have been more cool and he was like the leader and everybody's following him and everybody's just in like he was just made to be a cardboard camp counselor it was awesome but so then at the end you know they've teaching him how to fight those so then we had this full

[34:03]all-out battle at the end where it was basically what i think to be like a large larping class for you know kids cardboard larping i don't know did you did you win the battle no eddie got me i died because you know i don't know you know one of the chances something something the parents always die you know basically you know you have to tell them for all those there's a couple lakeville kids there i think the lakeville dads specifically you know they thought they were going to win the battle like you know they're just they're tense they just can't calm down anything like that so they

[34:33]were going to win so the counselors had to like tell these guys specifically living through their parents always lose yeah the parents always lose kind of thing so the menendez brothers guys more than anything but yeah so i don't know it was just like fate you know you get hit between the collarbone and the knees and you had to tap not swipe you know to get a guy and so they just did a full-on cardboard battle you know what i would have had matt a cardboard drone i would have had i would have been way up there okay i would have had a cardboard obama saying like let's

[35:04]drone strike these people you know what i mean i would have had a whole cardboard thing a whole cardboard setup it would have been great it would have been great so i would have never done anything like that as a kid i don't know if there was things around like that but kudos for and i'm saying this with the biggest amount of affection kudos for weird people or different people or people are just into different things creativity on fire creativity because there's no way i would ever thought about this and it was like one of the greatest things my kids

[35:33]said they've ever whatever camp you know so just that you have the nuts to do that and then when somebody asks you what you do for a job you're like yeah run a cardboard camp for kids because that you would have i mean your lifetime would be explaining what you do to people right yeah but then unless you're there it'd actually be really cool matt if you had to make yourself a weapon at the cardboard camp what would you make well this one one guy had like and i don't it probably didn't work but essentially you know the big ball on the chain yes and so he was just keeping everybody away by just you know what's it called i think it's a mace isn't it a mace

[36:03]sounds right yeah yeah morning star change by my limp okay so yeah you know so he's just so that's what i think and then honestly this little kid this i don't know girl guy them day you know he but had a a turtle shell so they had a sword but then they could just fall right over get in the turtle shell and then get up and just stab you so i don't know i mean just create tips so yeah so i was in a battle today i want to grab that kid and put him on his back and watch him like wiggle

[36:31]around because he couldn't get back on his feet like how do you like that cardboard kid i'd show up in my full cardboard shredder outfit you know i mean like it'd just be it'd rule and then somebody would put me in a cardboard garbage truck and squash me like in the movie yeah did you hit the ice bath after are you sore like how are you going to recover from the battle for tomorrow yeah you know i mean a little bit yeah a little bit so i had to just take it easy tonight yeah russ russ what are you making out of cardboard at this thing i don't know i was more confused i

[37:01]a week or two ago i thought bats kids didn't want them around anymore but this must have been cool enough where they wanted him to be a part of it so yeah for sure i was more thrown out i thought they thought they'd had they probably just wanted to take their swords or whatever and come at me but they were pretty good they're playing the rules but russ would make a huge cardboard pen and be like actually the pen is mightier than the sword and immediately that sounds good so i was in the battle uh rob rolling going how's it going with you uh listen so i had a comedy show

[37:32]the other day okay people next to us are talking all right and they're like no jenny i mean of course i'm between them and jenny yeah so they're talking they're talking and of course jenny does the to which i lean forward so now they cannot see who did it so you're trying to like interrupt you were trying to protect her like intercept it i am stopping because if you recall i was talking to the last time jenny shushed somebody the comedy show he had been hit in the face with a bottle

[38:00]the night before and had a huge scar in the next three minutes they take out a bag of starbursts at the comedy cellar like at a real stand-up place restaurant it is a huge bag of starbursts they are opening the bag they are opening the starburst the waiter comes to get her drink and jenny turns him and goes there have starbursts they brought in they shouldn't have those i'm just like i actually have been i think it was at the orpheum and by the i forgot what show it was

[38:32]recently but they now do the thing where you can buy candy and they take it out of the wrapper for you and they put it in the plastic cup they chew it up there aren't people like wiggling around and playing with the wrappers during the show that's i i'd love that except now all the railings are sticky you know what i mean like there's chocolate on everything because it's like it melted in my hand m&ms that's what they should serve there so anyway that was my uh nightmare who hasn't gone yet rolling going russell did you go me yeah as you guys know we've

[39:02]been doing the dvd tournament these are all my dvds she won't let me move all of these so i've got to take the stack will you help me make cutbacks what do you think about this show stay or should it go does this dvd get thrown out

[39:32]what do you think of ace ventura or this movie with katherine o'hara so which one should we throw does this dvd stay or go yeah now i told my kids that this was happening because of course they hear me yelling into a microphone singing the song they get a huge kick of course of russell being bossed around by somebody but they also said to me

[40:05]why does he want to keep any dvds at all and i was like wow that's not the point fair question i was like we need content all right so we're still narrowing down the dvds to the dvd tournament as we've mentioned before these seeds are in alphabetical order they are not in my order because if i rank them there'd be no purpose i would just keep the ones i want alphabetical order tonight we're gonna do sports we've done

[40:32]action we've done comedy we're doing sports tonight does that work for you guys i'm in i love the idea that people can tell from our podcast what thing we've taken off the big text chain and put it onto our own show text chain and complained about our fans like just by what we talk about on the show they're like wait a minute that sounds a lot like something i texted to the big group and now these guys are making fun of it like they've been talking about it all week but maybe i'm just imagining that probably um all right so we gotta narrow down which dvds am i

[41:00]keeping so we're gonna go 1 to 16 again we've got a first seed and a 16 seed and i gotta say i was a little disappointed in my sports dvds i feel like i'm missing some some of the ones in this bracket are a little bit weaker but the first one the one versus the 16 i think you could argue maybe neither of them are sports i think you could argue they're both sports it is a river runs the wrestler with mickey rourke pro wrestling and fly fishing are those even sports to begin with

[41:31]uh first of course they are of course they are you're telling me the honky tonk man isn't an athlete boy i i say both of them i think you've got them in the right place russell i i gotta say this russell i gotta plead aaron on this i've seen the wrestler i've never seen a river runs through it so i gotta go with the wrestler i should i see a river runs through it oh my god yeah it's like a top five movie it's awesome tell you something i really heard about

[42:05]a lot in college and every time i thought about watching a movie about fly fishing it reminded me of the i just knew i could not enjoy it i'll tell you what nice guys and i and i lived in vermont with one of them and we went fly fishing do you know what fly fishing is 90 of the time walking on the shittiest part of a creek to walk on like the little rocks and stuff and then there's parts where they're like okay we're going to try to cross here but if it gets too deep the waders might drag you down

[42:32]and kill you i'm like what and then you go so you go through all the hours of walking through up a creek on little rocks almost drowning okay yeah and then they're like okay well we're going to take this rod and oh by the way it's almost impossible to cast unless you've been practicing for 30 years like i have don't fuck nowhere montana okay and you are going to get snagged in the trees and actually it's really hard to work on because the rod is extraordinarily long so if you want to like grab the end of it it's just it's terrible and if you're really good at it you get the fly like out there like eight feet it's not like you

[43:03]cast it 55 feet into the river no you get it like literally 15 feet from you at the most and at this point you are freezing cold just absolutely bone cold freezing cold and then you go catch a fish and it is the smallest fucking fish you've ever seen in your have you ever seen a fly fisherman show the fish he's caught they're like this big they're like hot dogs the worst it's and they're no i can't contest i said what what are you talking about i could have grown that in the same amount of time it took us to go out there so as we're walking back i was like well i'm just

[43:31]curious what do you find so fun about this and he goes oh the most fun part is tying the flies and i was like what that's the most fun part is tying knots that's how you know like if i said oh what do you love about football what do you love about football oh i love tying my shoes that's the favorite part of football for me what the fuck are you talking about rob but then at the end did you go play pickup basketball and did they not pass you the ball at all ever those guys never pass the ball the biggest hog balls in the history of any real basketball ever yeah and it's like we were

[44:03]winning like if we were winning i'd be like well okay go ahead but no i just love to i love to be in that mindset with the guys like get on my back i'm gonna put this fucking team on my back what's your guy i'd like to say i'd like to say you finally got it you finally got the number one seed right number 16 right so good job finally got it right you're taking a river runs through it uh yeah it's one of the top five saturday afternoon if it's on you watch the whole thing movie river runs through it serendipity uh what's the one top five albums of all time

[44:38]what's the one the record what's that high fidelity shawshank redemption it's got to be one other one in there somewhere but it's just it's one of those ones oh thomas crown affair number the second one with pierce broson you watch those movies anytime they're on it's a great movie rob you got to sit down lay down on the couch and watch it someday you know movie i watch every time it comes on i got this movie and i'll tell you the more i watch

[45:03]the funnier gets to me my girl have you guys ever seen that my girl this movie i'll give it you know what i'll give it bees bees plus you know what i mean like a lot yeah we gotta get we gotta keep going i'm taking the wrestler also because i like rob have not seen a river runs through it and i want to watch it again so matt finally claims bet finally claims there's a top five movie i've heard you guys vote it down immediately yep i haven't seen it marissa tomei is the wrestler so you know

[45:37]all right helps that helps the next one so that was the one the 16 this is the two in the 15 it's ali starring will smith oh wow versus white men can't jump oh listen first of all ali we already know will smith can hit we've all seen the infamous slap which changed shows business forever okay but i have not seen the movie ali so i could not comment on how good it is i am going with

[46:03]whatever the other one was the one with rosie perez yes and that is so good i mean come quad who doesn't know that bit like it's just so good white men can't jump for me i just let's make it let's let's make it unanimous i'm going white men can't jump but hey but you know what's great about you know what's you know why i bet you bought white men can't jump for me i just let's make it white men can't jump i think it's a great movie it's it's the your mama jokes your mama jokes were the best and it's a little bit cheaper because when you buy a wesley snipes movie

[46:32]it's tax-free tax-free i just remember your mom's teeth are so yellow she could bite a hole off a bridge oh all right three versus 14 the bad news bears this is going back a little bit oh man versus varsity blues varsity how that's rated

[47:00]to three i don't know that can't be a varsity blues all day yeah i don't want your life i'm with matt now listen i was listening but what was the other one beside varsity blues oh the original one that's a three ranking can you believe that's a three ranking i will take uh white men can't jump love that movie the yo mama jokes so good varsity blues of course it was my life in high school you know even though i didn't want it but plus whipped cream bikini has there ever been a better whipped cream bikini scene in the history

[47:35]of movies something all of us have tried i'm sure and you realize it actually sucks oh i'm gonna put whipped cream on this person and it's gonna be pretty erotic you know what i mean like this is pretty erotic and then you realize in other places i would like to be touching oh yeah it's sticky and it's like i i don't like this anymore like i really it turns out you can have too much whipped cream you don't realize that but there is such a thing as too much and then it's like listen these

[48:01]sheets i know i'm not gonna wash for another couple weeks it smells the whipped cream goes curdled in your sheets oh forget about it all right what's the what's the fourth what's the fourth one is actually you guys have never done a whipped cream bikini come on now are you telling me nobody's gonna support me on this aaron did the pudding bikini and in college my own yeah i've never seen it all right man i know i know you're not saying anything man it's a baseball matchup it's field it's bull durham actually versus the rookie you guys remember the rookie the one where the old

[48:34]guy comes back and pitches oh the dennis quaid yeah dennis quaid wait what's the one where the young kid can pitch that's rookie of the year oh yeah that's right this is what was the one though i'm getting that confused what was the one that had all those angels and they were in the outfield eight men out that's huge what can you guys just tell me real quick dying to get that joke out

[49:01]real quick real real quick what was that movie where tom selig played mr baseball what was that movie just all terrible i've actually i'm gonna be honest i've not seen either of these movies you've never seen bulldurham i haven't seen bulldurham wow can i say but i've never watched bulldurham either but i'm gonna i'm gonna take bulldurham anyway because it

[49:32]has a lot of famous jokes matt matt you're a baseball player what wouldn't you yeah i'm over both you guys you guys can get no vote on this one well all right next one is the 512 i think this one might be the hardest game the hardest matchup in the whole bracket it's field of dreams which rob was referencing versus the program the program oh my god russell that is so hard that i just listened to there's a new j worthy rock marciano album out and there's a whole sample of the of the film scene in the

[50:04]program yes over a rap song and then the song kicks in oh kill everyone i mean starting to place at the table it's it's so i the program and what i loved about it is and it's gotta be the train scene they had to do well i can't remember yeah some friends and i went out and laid in the and that's fine russell that you actually made that joke right before i was gonna we laid down in the street okay uh in oh what in

[50:35]what was his name in that movie the quarterback in something we trust yes and what was the thing they had for him to win the heisman it was cane cane is able i was like that's fucking gg it's like i was gonna win the heisman he had buttons made that said cane is able all right the corner of the program field of dreams of the program let's go i'll tell you what field of dreams i cry every time i watch the movie i don't know what it

[51:00]is i but the idea that he's like playing catch with his dad something i did a lot got enough of i'm good actually makes me cry all the time but i gotta go with the program it's iconic i mean how many times have i said place at the table to somebody like that's just put the women and children to bed and go go hunting for dinner oh god i was like is this what college football is like i can't wait to go to st olaf and have an experience very similar to this did jacobson spit in your mouth before i could ever yeah chris jacobson knocked a football out in lecture hall

[51:31]it bounced all around i mean it was crazy i had to get on it or something i can't remember what the consequence was all right man what's your vote i gotta go feel the drink feel you know the three seed wasn't very good this should definitely be at least the three seed so interesting this will go i'll go feel the dreams i just want to correct you russell the line on the highway was the part that was cut the train scene is i saw it the train scene is at the end of the movie oh that is not guys yeah i'm from iowa so it's gonna be feel the dreams all day the dreams

[52:00]advances the program gets knocked out in the first round of the dvd like rob i have to get rob i have to get rid of the program tonight because of this oh my god well i'll tell you what i can read says adidas all right next up is the shoe is the 611 it's friday night lights another football movie versus a hockey movie slap shot oh jeez i mean this is no question no question yeah slap shots

[52:33]a top slap shot uh sports movie of all time i watched slap shot with russell in in the dorm room so that one's that one's it for me aaron and i we used to put on the foil to go play we would put metal on our fists in case we got in broomball the highs of slap shot are so high just love watching it but the guys you're watching the movie or are you kind of fast forwarding through some parts of the movie where it gets a little boring doesn't matter

[53:01]doesn't matter it's about keeping the dvd or not that's not the question oh boy i mean battle rob now of course my favorite part of slap shot is how the end made sense that was my favorite part oh man oh is he gonna skate out there and take off all his clothes boy that'll show i mean that was his reverse boycott right like aaron you might as well go do the same thing like he was pissed that they were selling the team he's gonna get naked reg was reg was an icon two greatest lines from the movie slap shot one's gonna be bleeped out this goes out to all

[53:31]that gorgeous fla and then the second one is they brought their toys they brought their fucking toys trying to listen to the fucking song the slap shaker they cover their jugs up with all those feathers all right we got two more match-ups in the sports bracket here the next one is the 710 it's he got game which i was shocked that i owned i don't know why i ever purchased

[54:00]now can i tell you what match-up should have been at 710 what's that this is where you should kingpin to me a bowling movie yeah 710 this is worse than when they moved them this is worse than when they moved the b52s out of 152 in the rankings are you gonna tell me that i'm gonna make a joke about how a 710 split can you can add one more pin and all of a sudden you can buy a hot dog there because it's a 711 no this might be your most brilliant moment in the podcast rob in any episode i don't know i picked hot dog instead

[54:34]of a slurpee russell i feel like i really let myself down a slurpee is a 711 thing only i would in a hot dog would come into my head so we're not doing the 711 we're going back to the 710 split you guys have to choose he got game or the sandlot i mean sandlot for me baseball movies seem to win for me it's a blowout isn't it i mean so many iconic scenes from he got game i mean the part where juana now here's my favorite part of that movie where juana is on a team and she has a

[55:04]secret people she won't want to tell you about and this i don't know you're skating on thin ice on this one oh you think juana man maybe is not the most tasteful thing to talk about in a modern day podcast wow that's crazy i was saying you could have chosen any other basketball movie because you're like oh it's oh anyway oh i'm nick nolte i'm blue chips i mean that doesn't make sense i can't make a joke what are they takis blue chips if i had blue chips on dvd i wouldn't give it up no matter what the goddamn vote under any circumstances yeah all

[55:33]right last matchup of the night of this regional is the eight nine it is hoosiers versus major league oh yeah now i would like to say this just about had a coronary in their bed had a moment this is this is the hardest choice i do not recall ever seeing hoosiers in my life i feel like it's something my dad showed me to quote unquote build character when i was younger but i don't remember watching it um so i'm gonna say major league and i also think major league

[56:03]it's it holds up it's a great movie like that's good there's the guy who's like the what is he's the he's like the guy who's the boarding and christian and all he looks at on the airplane is pornography like it's so funny to me i don't know why that's that's like major league too you're way off this is embarrassing right now you're embarrassing yourself this is probably trying to remember you just had a great split you getting major league and major league too confused is a low moment i'll tell you what this is this is the last time i asked joe boo to help

[56:32]me with this podcast you don't help i gotta take major league man i like you i do i mean i brought a kentucky fried chicken what's moving on is it major league or hoosiers i'm going to hoosiers hoosiers is too iconic and pulls the heartstrings too much even though major league is an awesome movie so rob you went which one did you win major league i gotta go major league so i'm telling you one two to one the eroticness of them taking the dress off even though it was a cardboard cutout when i was younger i was like this seed fucking rocks

[57:01]they're undressing oh i thought you were talking about the way when he takes renee russo's dress off with his cleats that's that's the one for me terrified that would be terrifying right would you want somebody to drive matt would you want somebody to take off a piece of your clothing with their baseball cleats give it a whirl oh big pause wow i had to think about it just blink twice if you've ever taken anyone's anything off with your baseball cleats oh with a cleat absolutely oh baby you're dressed you're dressed in your baseball coaching uniform oh yeah

[57:31]you got the same pants on as all the players that make it look like you constantly took a shit oh yeah i love those the pants that are too tight and too loose at the same time you're wearing time oh yeah baseball pants oh god so erotic so speaking of erotic that was a pretty erotic regional so when we get to the next round well did rosie do you vote it was i voted i had to vote major league yeah it's close for me but yeah so the movies that advanced i think this might be the strongest regional in my dvd bracket it's boulder room field of dreams major league

[58:01]sandlot slap shot varsity blues white man can't jump and the wrestler a very strong a very normal dvd collection to come home to when you start living with somebody and think what have i done with my life all right so we're out of that so what are we doing talk about the album talk about the album oh yeah should we do a video breakdown right now that seems like a good idea all right so listen we are talking about faith by george michael okay this is really he had

[58:33]released some singles including careless whispers uh as a as a individual solo artist but this was his first album without wham and what you don't realize is that this album and you guys know i love these i love this with adele i love this with thriller i love talking about it with these albums this is the fucking juggernaut of the late 80s there is no album that can compare to this it's on one of the best it's 25 million copies it's on some of the highest selling albums of the world

[59:00]uh listen this was a he sang on this album he played most of the instruments on this album he used every song on this album he wrote every one but one that he co-wrote with somebody on this album this album was in the billboard top 10 for 51 non-consecutive weeks and it was number one for 12 weeks number one 12 weeks yeah guys that's like what matt can you look up what episode was 139 for us you look that up thank you that would be 12 weeks whatever man's about to say and i'm

[59:38]paranoid by black sabbath paranoid that's how long it was up there paranoid seems like forever ago that's a lifetime ago uh it was the first it was also the first album by a white solo artist to hit number one on the black on the billboard top black albums chart this had four number one singles on it faith father figure one more try monkey making george michael the only british male solo artist to have four number one hits on the album uh from one album and he joined two other

[60:08]ones so think about this you get a number one single the next single is one of yours that's number one then the next single that's number one is one of yours and then the next single that's number one is one of yours two other artists beside him did it you know who they are gotta be taylor swift right nope michael jackson and whitney houston oh man both of whom released albums in this year because bad and whitney both came out and that i mean it's that's a crazy stat

[60:37]yeah and prince we can't forget sign over the times uh not on the same chart in the level of chart success and finally it won the uh best album grammy in 89 george michael is the only solo artist winner of a grammy for best album that's queer there's been no other grammy winner that's a solo artist that's been queer that's won best album that's crazy right what did sam

[61:02]smith win sam smith won something i know but it wasn't best it wasn't best album right it was like best song yeah you wonder what george michael would do if he could just have been out of the closet right singing songs like it would have been really interesting to see because i think i mean he obviously can write a song he can produce a song he knows how to make a pop song but like i don't know to be out in the open would have been killer now this this song listen to this faith

[61:30]iconic we've gone over the video he looks so good in the video i love the organ at the beginning like you listen to the organ if you had no idea what this was you would have no clue what was coming up and then it breaks into this it's it's fantastic well russell do you know what the organ is from no so check us out this is the organ at the beginning of the song sam smith won song record and song of the year for stay with me in 2014 but not the album

[62:07]so that so listen to the listen to the organ there and that i gotta pull one thing guys i'll be able to pull this real quick so you listen to that and now listen to this so he's actually starting the album with a song from wham that sounds like it would be played in

[62:34]a church right and he did the same thing when he burned his jacket from this album on a later album video he's kind of doing the taylor swift eras thing where he's marking the change of george michael as he goes wow which i think is so cool next up okay now for me this was always a figure eight but my dad was also ravishing rick rude so father figure put your tiny hand in mine i mean can

[63:04]you imagine if your dad was ravishing rick rude he'd be like oh when i get older i'm gonna be so good looking because that guy still holds up by the way he's hot as hell i heard i heard prince in this a little bit right oh absolutely yeah i mean this is yeah this comes out after purple rain for sure he's listening to prince he talks about basically wanting to make music like prince made he's like i think i can make an album like prince when i heard this

[63:31]song though we talked about prince before and matt i've never talked about this a long time ago it was when prince played all these instruments and one of the instruments that prince played on one of the those songs was finger snaps he did hand claps and finger snaps yes if you listen to that you hear those finger snaps going on in that song it's kind of like a cool little beat it's like gives the whole rhythm of the song so i thought we could do a list of the greatest songs ever featuring finger snaps finger snap songs oh my god i'm behind now oh no russ is gonna yell at me after the podcast well i think it's okay wait to hear those one more time

[64:04]yeah this is a finger snap i like it album matt brought up where prince played like 25 instruments and one of them was finger snaps right all right the first song on the list actually this is rob we were talking about wham a little bit before this isn't the first time george michael has done finger snaps because they also did it with wham and it's the jitterbug song i don't know the real name of the song oh wake me up of

[64:32]course check out the beginning yes yes should i cut it off right before it gets cooking you get we get right at the beginning i mean are we sure i'm not gonna get into it it's a finger snap s sound yes the other ones on the list are will be legit is this the top five pop song no it's so good

[65:03]guys this is a pop top five i would say if we did a dvd song tournament this versus the who's the guy who plays in fleetwood mac who does the holiday road song lindsey buckingham holiday road versus that song we just the jitterbug song would be the ultimate eight versus nine matchup i hate to tell you that wake me up before you go go would be a 16 seed because they are by alphabetized i don't know if you realize that it's true all right so that was not on the list i was just i wanted to

[65:33]make sure we knew that we were going to do a jitterbug song and we're going to do a jitterbug song that he's done this kind of sound before but we have heard we've heard beyonce prince do it and beyonce drunken love also had finger snaps we've talked about that one before um i also wanted to give honorable mentions to the adams family song did not make the list even though the you have to mention it and then little john also had a song called snap your fingers snap your fingers which which was very good but it was hard to hear the finger snaps

[67:03]motown he was a big fan of the supremes growing up he studied all their music growing up and he listed two of his biggest influences were stevie wonder and smoky robinson who produced my girl gasms oh listen yes you know what he does produce i love that song so much you know what great i'd give it what's that bees plus bees plus for my girl yep you'll go into shock when you see how

[67:31]good the song is do you think macaulay culkin died because the overwhelming number of bee stings or because he was allergic to bee stings he died yeah spoiler alert geez oh i guess i i was like wow this is weird that ends with him sleeping so much but i was like i'd be awake if there's that many bees around me go back and finish that one all right next song on the list we talked about this artist last week this

[70:02]it's not the same beat though it's hot i don't know i can't i mean when i listen to george michael i think of freddie mercury like i think he must have patterned some of his his vocalism well they did a great version of um someone to love where george michael sang oh have you ever seen that it's that's it's so i was at the live aid or whatever yes i'm gonna play a little bit this is worth us shutting this down and just watching this okay and i have not missed with a video yet today so not gonna start now

[70:32]i mean george michael a rock star yes george michael i think played three songs at the mercury tribute concert these were the ones everyone was raving about and to think about the connection between queer artists and different generations right and what this is saying watch this so you want to see the best part and russell you know what's coming up it's a bit of a round

[71:00]hand claps right here listen all right want to hit every single person russell he's talking to you russell everyone everyone too yes somebody to love oh no the delay i forgot but love i need somebody to love i'm up here you're down here i'm up here you're down here love

[71:30]some wait love oh jeez okay wait i'm getting a good part just wait you gotta trust me once again i don't think this is truly a round but it is fun what what a song amazing performance to the crowd look at that just listen somebody to love

[72:02]George. Amazing. Talented, isn't he? In front of all those people. And, you know, I mean, every one of us waiting for that spot and you've got to nail it. And he does it. What a pro. You know, I talked to George Michael once and I said, were you nervous at this? Were you trembling? And he said, no, Wembley, Wembley, Wembley, Wembley, not trembling. Wembley. Aaron, you had mentioned how the influence that these artists had on George Michael.

[72:31]He said he was a big Bowie fan and a big Queen fan, but he always thought Bowie was kind of like a level of coolness that was above Queen. And he said he was surprised when Bowie worked with Queen. And he said the first half of the song, you know, Bowie's doing his thing. But Freddie Mercury is kind of doing that like DDD, like all that gibberish stuff. And he's like, this is just nonsense or whatever. But then the second half of the song becomes genius. You have all these big melodies and everything. And he said it's actually a brilliant record.

[73:00]He called it a brilliant record. This is a top five pop song in my mind. All right. Next song on the list is from 1988. We were talking about like the best albums of the 80s, Rob. I don't think we could get through without talking about Michael Jackson. The song is Man in the Mirror. Check out the finger snaps. Oh, this is a great song, too. Damn. Michael Jackson credited with the snaps on this one. Yes, of course. Who else would you have snapped?

[73:30]He was in the Jackson 5 for God's sake. He's not going to give the credit. If he credits somebody else, he's going to pay him. He's not going to do that. Greg Fillinghans is still out there waiting for a check. I would have loved to hear Michael Jackson and George Michael trade songs. I'd like to hear George Michael do this one. I would love to hear Michael do, I don't know, like Hard Day or something. I was reading it. They were going to collaborate on something. And George Michael said Jackson was a little strange in their meeting where Michael Jackson wouldn't look at him.

[74:00]Yeah. He would only look at his manager. So they had like an awkward conversation and couldn't get past it. Boy, for somebody that owned a chimp, that's so weird to hear he was a weirdo. Now, listen, get bit by a monkey. Have your roommate stop by. See if you're okay. Here's the thing. Can I just tell you what I think of with Man in the Mirror? What the number one thing I think of? What's that? That was one of my all-time karaoke bombs. An absolute fiasco in a bar, not my normal bar, up north.

[74:30]Around strangers. I have the audacity to do Man in the Mirror. Can you imagine the pride? I've told you this. I've told you I've seen this, right? I've told you that I've seen this. That the greatest karaoke performance I have ever seen was Man in the Mirror. What? I went out. Yes, in Minneapolis. I was out at the, it was out at the, I can't remember the name of the bar, but it was where like the theater people would go to do karaoke on Sunday nights. So it was like, it was a total like one-off, one-off person ship. No.

[75:00]It was like, it was right on the cusp of downtown, like, like near, you know, in that area, but like a little bit further west maybe. But it was like, it was, ooh, that's a good spot. It was just this real, like anything you can do, I can do better thing. Like everyone would get up. But the night I went, there was a guy who sat by himself, who was not in the theater, theater crowd. He was wearing a baseball cap that said Mickey on the crosstown. It was this Mickey Mouse thing. He got up and he, he didn't speak to anyone.

[75:30]He got up and he turned out man in the mirror, like shut the place down and then just went back down and sat down by himself. The greatest karaoke performance I've ever seen in my life. When, when, when George Michael was writing faith, he was thinking about being in the same league as Michael Jackson and Prince. He said, I wanted to be in the same stratosphere as them. Michael Jackson had just done thriller and he was like, I've got the guts to do it now. I want to be in the same mode as those guys. I want to make music as good as theirs. So I think Prince and Michael Jackson have some definitely, you know, pushing,

[76:00]George Michael to do something new and different, right? Like the healthy competition. Listen, George Michael had a great album in 1987. Okay. But the idea that it's starting to creep in my mind that he's up there with Prince and Michael Jackson. I got to fight those thoughts back. That's an insane statement, right? He's really good. I love this album. He doesn't have, there's not a ton of other George Michael albums on this list. I'm just going to say that right now. Aaron, did you see anybody at this karaoke bar wearing aqua socks? Cause if you did, that was the outer, you ought to stop in for sure. A hundred percent.

[76:30]I don't recall. It's been, it's been a long time ago now. All right. Last song on the list. This is from 2013. I don't know if we've talked about this song before, but check out the finger snaps in this artist's Lord. The song is Royals. Check this out. Oh, it's a good song. Yeah. Hey, this is a good song. I'm probably going to edit this out because I don't want somebody to steal my million dollar idea. The Kansas,

[77:00]the city Royals, the baseball team should use this song for stuff. You know what, Rob Lord was actually inspired by that. She saw George Brett, not George Michael, but George Brett in a picture. And she saw the Jersey that said Royals and said, that is such a cool word. I need to make a song with that word. What? Wow. Wow. Good thing. She didn't see a Cleveland Indians Jersey. Jesus Christ. That could have been disaster. Defensive.

[77:30]A lot of terrible. There was a song that Lord did called solar power. It sounded a lot like George Michael's freedom 90 and it brought, got brought up with his estate and his estate said they would have been flattered by the comparison to Lord. So I thought that was pretty cool. Russell, that was another, you know what? That list felt like it was done in a snap. It was easily a top five list. Oh yeah. What's that? Oh, you're snapping. Oh, you're stamping. I could not have the video up. Do you not watch us on the video?

[78:00]The video when we're talking, right? I do watch you. I'm not just looking at Chad or whoever. Chad, who's Chad? Chad's not even here. Chad's out of here, man. Listen, no, Russell, I knew what you're doing. You're doing a doo-wop snap. I could tell if you, I'll tell you what, Russell, if you and I, you know, you think about it, you're moving houses. We're lucky to have houses. What if we were outside in the alley? We're surrounding a bin that was on fire and it might sound a little something like this. One, two, three, four. Oh, for the longest time.

[78:33]All right. Matt, did you get robbed of those new drinks or what? Let's go. Next up. I mean, hey, I've heard of people lusting after their track of the hour. I want your sex. You know what this is like? I love the lyrics of this song. Like this song, sex is natural. Sex is fun. Later in the song,

[79:01]he just says, have sex with me. It's so great. Like the lyrics are fantastic. Does this one have to be turned off at the, in the record corner at your house during the day or is your son jamming to this? He hasn't asked yet. We played this. I played this several times this week and he, he did. He, he definitely vibe to it. He was enjoying it, but I don't think he asked about the words yet. I played this song for my wife. And when it got to that part where he said, sex is natural, sex is good. She laughed out loud. All right. So there's two parts to this song. Let's play the second part. Cause they're, they're called rhythms,

[79:30]right? And so this was the rhythm. One was lust. Rhythm two is brass in love. I swear to God. That's what it said. You can hear the change right there. Yeah. I like this. And it's got the brass. So it's brass and love. I mean, these are kind of bops. He might be better than Michael Jackson. I might be right about that. Also in the movie, Beverly Hills cop two. And what's crazy about this, Aaron, you were, you were just watching that the other day. You're talking about her stat album, Beverly Hills, cop comes out months before this album,

[80:01]that song blows up. They released the single early to meet demand. Right? Like that's how great that song is. Also that one, this is another one. Like the video was a total and it got total band during daytime radio. Can you imagine like you hear, have people at home being like, Oh, I want your sex. What? Okay. Meanwhile, I was at home being like, you got to lick it before you stick it. And we're all singing around the kitchen table. We're having a great time with music. All right.

[80:32]One more try. This one got all the way up to number one in the charts. It's fourth single. This song rules. It's not about rugby. Like a lot of people think. I love the way you sing this song. I read this was in the tradition of Marvin Gaye and CB wonder. Is that you hear, do you hear any influence there or no? Oh, absolutely. Yeah. Like they really, yeah. Like all, a lot of the vocalists, the vocalisms are from listening to that.

[81:00]Definitely. Where does George Michael rake on your singer list? What do you think of him as a singer? I never think of him until this album is on. And then I'm like, man, he sings the hell out of one more try. I really wasn't familiar with a ton past faith, but man, it's this album. Like I just liked the sound. I it's, it's, I mean, it's, it's a little wearing on you. Cause it is that eighties super synth sound, but God, he's, I mean, he's got a voice. And then I'm telling you, watch a video with him and wham, what he looks like. He's a goddess. He's like walking God among us.

[81:31]Like it would be awesome to look that good. Oh, it'd be a superpower. Oh my God. Hard day. This is one where I'm just playing the part where he, uh, turns his voice into a female voice electronically. Now, what other artists have we covered that did that? Who did that? Prince and Camille. Prince. Listen to this. That's George Michael. I didn't realize that I'm listening. Is that different than chipmunk chipmunk hip hop?

[82:03]Um, yeah, I don't know exactly how they, yeah, I'm not sure how they do this, or if it's the same thing that Prince did with Camille or not. Matt, Matt, what do you think of this? When you've talked before, like you like the really produced eighties synth stuff, but sometimes you don't. I'm, I was curious what you would think of this one. I, you know, this is a little too poppy for me, I guess. I think I like the more grungy synth, if you will. Yeah. Talking heads, that kind of stuff. Um, you know, and I just, we talked about it a couple of weeks ago,

[82:31]but the documentary about George Michael and how he got from wham to solo artists, and then essentially why he didn't turn into the Michael Jackson's of the world, because he essentially just stopped because he was in these horrible record contracts that he ended up like changing how contracts are written for a lot of these mega artists and stuff. So, you know, I think you'd tell you really hear him sing and hear some of these songs and hear the power that he's got. Like I just to Rose, I know, I just to Rose, I know I never think of him until watching that movie and now listening to this album again,

[83:04]you know, he's a wonderful artist, he's great. And so I almost, it's almost, I wish it wasn't as poppy. And later on it gets, you know, in his career, he gets less poppy with the synth. So I don't mind it, but you know, he, he sounds much better when you don't have all that poppiness in the back. Now, the slap shot of music. Wow. Russell. Well, right up there. Right. Top three. Well,

[83:30]that's the third time I've heard that today. God, damn it. Listen, this song. I think I have found a stolen song on this album. I think he stole this song. Oh really? Hand to mouth. Just listen. Yeah. I was going to argue with it. Does that sound a lot like this song? I think he stole this song from himself. I think he rewrote it. He wrote careless whispers that he released as George,

[84:01]George Michael before this album and may turn it into hand and mouth. It would be like if you were a Marine, but you posed as a Navy veteran and it was stolen Valor, but you stole it from yourself. That's right. I was going to argue with you at the end of last week, at the end of last week, when you were like, of all the things that Bruce wants us to know about. And all George Michael wants us to know about is his sex, because this song is actually about all of the stuff that Bruce Springsteen is writing about. So there is one, there's one parallel between last week and this week.

[84:30]I don't think George Michael ever used the word electric chair song though, as much as look at your hands. I'll tell you why the number of times I'm walking around New York and I look at my hands and I've got gross stuff on my hands is too high. Like I'll be on the escalator. And then there's a Blake black, like smudge at my hand. No, thanks. Could you jump forward to like the three minute Mark? I thought this song was kind of a fun song. I don't know if it's one of the stronger ones, but like the piano, it kicks in. I enjoyed it. I liked it.

[85:02]Oh yeah. It sounds so good. I mean, it definitely has like the eighties cop drama music vibe, but he's doing it perfectly. So I like it. I've never, I know the song faith. I don't think I know one other George Michael song. Like I know he's like a famous musician from the eighties, but I didn't know anything about him really at all. Other than I think he died a few years ago, but did you guys ever, did you, have you heard any of these songs before listening to this or not? I had. Yeah. And then I think the first time I heard even really knew about him,

[85:32]is he saying that a don't let the sun come down on me with Elton John, you know? And then I was like, Oh, who's then you remember him from this ton of wham songs, which you probably recognize a few of the wham songs. I recognize it, but I don't, I didn't know wham. I didn't know he was in wham or anything. And he was the biggest of the big, he was the biggest of the biggest pop star for a short period there. I mean, two years ago, I mean pretty short, couldn't get enough of them,

[86:00]but I remember these from the videos. I think like, I think my mom would watch VH1 sometimes and the VH1, like the, the, I want your sex video and the faith video. Next up guys. Now you might be asking yourself another song about a monkey. I mean, guys, what literally, okay. Can I just ask you this? What are the chances that we have talked about a monkey so much on this podcast? And now there's a song called monkey. Ironical. I'm going to set my monkey free here in a minute, but you might have to turn. Your cameras session will be free. It's more of an orangutan these days with that big face,

[86:34]you know, it's like hanging down. This is, this is produced by Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis. It sounds a little bit different than the rest of the album sounds like control, right? Yeah. This was number one on the billboard, a song called monkey. So multiple times a DJ would get out and be like, and her next step is monkey. And it's a weird song title. And like it's the lyrics are, it's strange, but it's kind of catchy. Isn't it? Yeah.

[87:02]What do you got a groove, man? What does he mean by set your monkey free? Is this like another funny movie? I remember project X. You guys ever remember that movie? Matthew Broderick. They tested the stuff on the chimps, like put them through nuclear waste and stuff. I mean, it's kind of funny. Next up. Okay. What would you do if you knew if you, if you were with Mr. T on Valentine's day, kissing a fool.

[87:30]Oh, he's back. Lounge act here is so different than the rest of the album. Isn't it? Right? It's weird. So I wrote this. I just wrote, what the fuck, right? That's something to cat skills. This sounds like something lady Gaga would make Tony Bennett do. And he's like 97 years old. They'd be there. She'd be like, get out there. You old bag. Sing the song. Take these pictures of me. Some people think I'm your, I'm your legacy. You're he recorded these vocals acapella then added the instruments around them,

[88:03]which is crazy. This song peaked at number five on the billboard five. What is going on? That this got to number five. That's like a heat check, right? He was like, can it? Yeah. Am I, am I such a pop star right now? The air in Christ. Right? There's two. It happens. He releases. This is a single. He's like these fucking pigs will eat any slop. I give them. You have to say like it kind of,

[88:31]if that song gets to number five, you kind of have to start thinking about like, well, what's the quality of the music then in the eighties, right? He's that song. It's not that song. It's not good for people just buying stuff or playing it because it was him or whatever. Right? Yeah. It doesn't really mean anything. Can I tell you this? I didn't want to bring this up cause I don't like being negative, but I'm going to read to you who was also up for best album. Oh, let's hear it. Um, well, let's hear it. Uh, so album of the year, album of the year from 1989. I thought this was from 87.

[89:00]Uh, yeah, but this was the, the Grammys for an 89. I listen, I don't know. Don't ask me. I think you're right, but the 89 Grammys, this is up for it. This is who he beat. Ready? Tracy Chapman, Tracy Chapman. Great album. Can't argue with that, but it's a little, I mean, there's some good songs. There's great songs, great album, little slow, maybe simple pleasures by Bobby Brown. Bobby McFerrin is the next one up. Oh, wow.

[89:30]What, what is that? Does that have, don't worry, be happy on it. That's gotta be the top 500. I doubt it. That's crazy. That's wild. No, that's great. Okay. Then there is nothing like the sun by sting. Okay. And you'll never guess how he got into the Grammys. This is going to, this is going to blow your mind. I bet it's because he reversed a sharpshooter by Brett Hart and put him in the sharpshooter and one via submission. He actually came down from the ceiling. Russell.

[90:00]He came down from the ceiling. He took off his sting sweater that he wears and guess what he was wearing underneath. He was the fake sting. Another sting sweater. He was wearing the stick sweater. Hey John, for me, Dinah, there's your wrestling content. Uh, and then roll with it by Steve Wynwood, right? So a Matt, a Matt favorite, Steve Wynwood, any of these in the top 500, I doubt it. But then look, but, but there's like, there's some funny business because, because this, like how this got to the 89 Grammys when it was released in 87, I don't know. Cause then you look at 88. Yeah. And that's Joshua tree,

[90:30]Whitney, bad and side. Oh, the times. Well, that's, I mean, that's yeah. So like if it was in that killer class, and those are its peers, like, those are the albums actually like, you know, peers with, and then Bonnie rate wins in 1990, which kind of rules beating traveling, Wilburys and fine young cannibals. What drives me crazy. Remember when everybody thought that was a good sign. All right. Uh, next, next is it for faith by George Michael. Let's get into the ratings system.

[91:01]And now it's time for everybody's favorite part of the show. The patent and very popular Beck did it better rating system. Tracy Chapman. Tracy Chapman is two 56. Oh, wow. I'm going to get to that one. I'm excited for that. I don't, I think I only know one Tracy Chapman song. Aaron, can you do me a favor before we get to that? Before we do that album, can you buy me a car or no? Can you buy yourself a new car?

[91:30]But here's the thing about what that car has to be. And this is going to kind of blow your mind a little bit. Slow car. If I do that, what are you going to get? Is it fast? It should be fast. You're right. All right. So if I get a fast car, what are you going to do? Huh? Uh, I'll probably drive it anywhere. We're going to take it. We're going to take it. I wrote a song about Aaron's car. What'd it be called? A fast car. It's going to be called a fast car that got stuck up on a retaining wall, stuck on a retaining wall. Aaron sticking that car on a retaining wall is only slightly less depressing than the actual song.

[92:04]No, it's actually way less depressing than the actual song. Fast car. Another song, a laugh riot. So funny. Watch, listen to that. Watch, watch my girl at the same time. It's a great time. Now, listen, we can't talk about this stuff. You guys are wasting my time. Let's get into the, Kyle's band on that list. Oh, yes. I got to scroll up to the J's JP. No, I think it's J Y his, his name is Jay Giles. No,

[92:30]I'm just kidding. It's Jay period for sure. And you know, I knew that on my computer, I had to take the picture. And so I, I took a freeze frame, freeze frame, Jay Dilla, but no J. Oh yeah. Donuts. Freeze frame. All right. So is this album, we are looking at the list. Oh, okay. Here we go. No, no, no, no, we are looking at the album. We are looking at the list. Of course we couldn't care less about the album, how it sounds, how famous he is, how much George Michael blows our mind when we don't think about him all the time.

[93:01]We care about the list. Okay. This is at one 51. Okay. This is way up on the list. This is like 30.05% through the list. Is this a good place for faith by George Michael? Okay. And on, we are going to count it on a scale of, Oh, I thought something would come guys. What have we talked about today? Scale of, no, I'm going to back up. Okay. Throwing this truck in reverse.

[93:30]Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep. A scale of, a scale of my lower legs to your lower legs. Beep. Beep. How far are you backing up? Just making sure. I haven't actually moved. I just turned on the reverse thing, but some people are back there. So now I'm going to back up. Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep.

[94:00]Beep. Beep. Beep. All right. So I'm going to start this again. This of course is at one 51. Okay. Not 99 bananas. Like some people were saying earlier, light it up. Is this album at one 51. Okay. Would you say, would you say this is the perfect amount of DVDs to own? Okay. This is the greatest amount. Hey, this is the greatest amount of DVDs to own is about half of what you do right now. So I think we're on the right track. All right. Russell's going to have a great collection of major league one night. He's watching major league one night. He's watching the rookie or whatever we've picked.

[94:32]And one night he's watching a movie about a guy named Mr. Baseball. That was part of this episode. If you recall now that would be rolling. Well-toned is just want to know the last DVDs that I did not transfer in the big tub that I brought with me to go through, please. It was seasons like one through six. It's like one through seven of entourage. Those were the ones, the last ones that went into. Yeah. You're not going to rewatch this entourage. It was kind of a fun show though. Cause you'd watch it and it'd be kind of funny.

[95:00]And then every once in a while, it'd be just incredibly gorgeous. Topless people. You're like, Hmm. It turns out. I like both these things. It's a show for me. Finally. So finally a show for me. A lot of episodes with ugly topless people. Did they? Well, if you remember, he was on Nickelodeon, but ugly. Yeah. I mean, that is a, that is a pool. Yeah. Thank you very much. I appreciate that. And listen, if you think this album should have been pulled up higher on the list, which of course would have been lower. Okay. On this podcast app,

[95:30]because it would have come first. Now that's an interesting way to think about it. If you're on a podcast app, you are often scrolling down to get new episodes. A lot like this list. That would be a rolling bone. It should be higher up on the list. Or if you think this should be higher up on the podcast app coming out later in time, that of course would be a rolling groan. It should be higher on the list. Yeah. Okay. Well, Oh, Oh, I'm a huge Bobby McFerrin fan. I wish this was way lower on the list. You piece of shit. Okay. Said nobody, by the way, that's a great character to do.

[96:00]The angry Bobby McFerrin fans, right? Eat shit. Don't worry. Eat shit. I mean, is he snapping? Is he finger snapping? Oh, he's playing every part. Do it. Do it. Do it. Do it. Do it. Do it. Do it. Oh, oh, I have, I have season tickets to the Minneapolis orchestra with Bobby McFerrin. Don't worry. Those dumb pieces of shit. God, I hate the orchestra. Eat shit. The angry Bobby McFerrin fan is so funny to me.

[96:32]All right. Just listening to that song. Just that's Latimer. Listening to that song before a game called. Yeah. Fuck yeah. Get fucked up. Oh God. What was that? This episode. It was. Oh, I might like to sing it. That's a good song. I like it. I like it. I like to sing it. The note for note. Don't worry. Yeah. Fucking yeah. Place at the table. What the hell accent is that Bobby McFerrin has now? Eat shit. That's what he sounds like in the song. I was not doing enough accent.

[97:00]Pennsylvania Bobby McFerrin. What do you think, Aaron? Rolling well toned, rolling bone, or rolling groan? And of course we were talking about Bobby McFerrin? Question mark. George Michael. Faith. 1987 to 1989. Apparently. Yeah. I think it's a monster album. I think the hits are massive. It was such a, as we talked about, an important album at the time. I didn't know this one that well, but I think it's kind of important for cultural and musical reasons. I'm going to give it a rolling well toned. Russell. What do you think? Rolling well toned, rolling bone, or rolling groan? George Michael. Faith. I kind of agree with Aaron. I didn't really know a lot of these songs.

[97:30]I knew faith, but I didn't really, I don't think I knew any of the other songs, but I thought a lot of them were pretty catchy. There were a handful that were kind of strange. That was a kissing fool near the end. That was just, it seemed way out of line with everything else in the album, but it was, but it was, it was, it was, don't you turn it back on me. I'm going to say if I, if, if I ever get my new record set up in the, in the house set up with some, some of those armless chairs or whatever you were talking about, Aaron, if I had faith on vinyl and I just threw that on, I was like, that would be a pretty cool album to have. So I'm going to say it's rolling. Well toned. I enjoyed it. Well, it'd be really cool. Cause you have that big vibe, McFerrin fathead that we custom ordered for you, but it's dead.

[98:00]It's dead. It's dead. It's dead. It's dead. It's dead. It's dead. It's dead. I don't know. And we custom ordered for you, but instead of don't worry, be happy. So don't worry. They're like, Bobby, listen, Bobby, baby, baby, Bobby, we love this song. You're doing all the parts. Love it. Okay. Reminds me of that Billy Joel song. I heard about it from a guy who actually worked in a spice shop. Do you remember that story from earlier?

[98:33]And so I love it. You're doing all the parts. Here's the thing. Don't worry. Yeah. Okay. And the whole song, you know, uh, it's talking about, Oh, landlords say your rent is late. You may have to litigate. Russell, of course, be the slumber is like, that sounds like me. Kind of. And, but the part where you go, don't worry, eat shit. There's just, I feel like it could be a little more euphonious in that part. And I know you've yelled at me.

[99:01]You get quite angry. That says swearing is okay. And it's actually, but nobody's ever going to write a song called. I want your son. Let's go against this song. We gotta be clean, baby. Clean. That's the new phase. That's the new Bobby. Uh, Matt, what do you think? Rolling, both on rolling bone or rolling grown? And keep in mind, that was a fat head joke that I made earlier. I think, uh, for, if for anything else, George, Michael is a Titan and deserves to have an album up here. So I'm going to say, I, I,

[99:30]I, I really liked this album. I don't know how much I'll listen to it again. You know, I don't know. I think I'd, I'd rather go back to some of the early eighties synth. If I'm going to listen to it again, I'm not going to listen to anything, but as a Titan, he's certainly, uh, deserves to be here. So I'm going to say rolling, well-toned, unfortunately, you guys are once again for the hundred and fifty first bananas time. You are incorrect. This Russell, would you back off? I'm really worried about this podcast. Okay. Don't worry.
