[03:00]when you're gonna hear about the greatest albums of all time don't be funnier than me Bryce that's the only rule tricky song to sing with oh Rob is this you notice I kind of gave up at the end Rob is this the most worried you've ever been that a guest will be funnier than you or not yeah it's the most I mean going through the guest yeah it's by far the most worried I've been oh yeah of course listen welcome to Beck Did It Better we've got Replacement Guy here and if Aaron doesn't do well
[03:30]he's gonna find out why he's called Replacement Guy oh now listen okay we are talking about the 1983 album Let It Be by The Replacements and I've got four guys here who all remember that this is the 30th 30th anniversary of that famous Dave Matthews bus incident yes oh we're getting into this already do you guys know what the Russ do you know what the bus incident is is this the thing with the banana and Liz so last week no no so in 2000
[04:02]August 8th 2004 a tour bus belonging to Dave Matthews dumped an estimated 800 pounds 360 kilograms for my power lifters out there of human waste from the bus's black water tank through the Kinsey Street Bridge unfortunately Russell do you want to guess now Russell this is gonna blow your mind do you want to guess what was below that bridge bananas stop saying that bananas might have been in it but it's not I eat bananas too much ah
[04:30]and thank you that was my Dave Matthews impression I've been working on it for all week actually really excellent um and it went onto a passenger sightseeing boat Russell they dumped the human waste onto a passenger boat going beneath this is real 800 pounds of poop I just texted you the other day I know you texted me a lot of stuff 800 pounds of poop would also it was also the backup name of this podcast I now we've been on a text chain with Bryce for one day and the idea that he texted Aaron
[05:00]800 pounds of poop is zero surprising to me whatsoever hey Aaron today's the anniversary of the thing hey guys what are you doing you going outside you going outside I just want to let you know talking to the kids in the middle of the voice text um Russell what does this sound like a date you would have gone on where you're out on a sightseeing cruise and all of a sudden ants go marching and you look up and you're like oh what's that oh it's one of my favorite bands DMB okay the guy glass bottom boat ride right
[05:30]oh oh no isn't that what it says a glass top boat ride oh I don't know how it goes so anyway this that's kind of this is what we that's what we call reverse port-a-potty I mean listen in the United States you go to the port-a-potty in Chicago port-a-potty come to you okay that was a Yakov Shmirnoff bit that didn't really take off have you ever been shit on by a bird or anything like that like have you ever had a moment like that I think so well there's that one time where I mysteriously found it on my shirt like we've discussed that that was human feces I thought
[06:00]well it's unproven although I did hear somebody run by and they said crash into me and I was suspicious you know I was you know any Dave Matthews songs Russell you're not reacting I don't know I don't know what we're talking about right now wait you've been on a podcast with him for three years do you think he knows any Dave Matthews songs I don't what kind of question is that I don't think he does you didn't hear the live set at Luther College no that's what my friends played non-stop did anyone any wrestlers come out to any Dave Matthews songs no
[06:30]no not important Macho Man could have come out to crash into me oh right I've got into tree crash into tree Rob that song if Bryce just takes over as the funny guy for this episode what you could do that you could do that that parody by the end Russell you saying that I'm currently the funny guy in this episode is the nicest thing anyone's ever said to me so thank you so much I appreciate that I've got Matt and me in the ambulance because did you hear the bit earlier about the Dave Matthews bus that went just how I planned
[07:00]Matt in the ambulance Matt how are you doing good so no one told you life is going to be this way let's talk about the Rembrandts Jesus fucking Christ that was a good bit by the way that Oasis wouldn't have bothered me but that that one like was like a knife in the heart of fucking Rembrandts I'll be there for you asshole that would be one thing
[07:30]that you know they would never dump their tour buses sewer onto you is the Rembrandts it would be like two pounds right like because where are they going but the replacements would have the replacements that I'll tell you what replacements you would not want their sewage dumped on you it would be they just took they ripped the toilet out of their tour bus and took shits in the where the toilet was previously that really happened we call that the jail now I do I'm going to beep his last name but Jay was a guy we knew in college who Bryce now runs a bank this is a great story he now runs a bank
[08:00]and I once he runs a bank yep he runs a bank president of a bank yep and he he had a dildo that he would carry around to him to parties and he also once at a party took a folding chair outside punched a hole in the bottom of it and then took a shit outside and it was one of the greatest things that I've ever heard about in my life so we call that the Dave Matthews special I've got Russell in Russell in Minneapolis how you doing Russell Rob open wide
[08:32]the doctor's here everything is fine you've got nothing to fear I'm going to treat you like I'd treat Aaron's feral cat stop your bawling you're still my little brat oh Aaron have you been naked in front of the feral cats yes I think oh they're that kind of cats you cannot have a feral cat be naked in front of a feral cat that's gross I missed this story I don't think they're feral cats they're like neighborhood cats you know they did belong to someone
[09:00]in the neighborhood right and now they're wild cats that live outside yeah they would live inside if we let them people let their cats out at night they congregate together I've seen this before and it's scary as fuck he Bryce he had a neighbor who passed away who was I think the term was crazy cat person and they had tons and tons of cats and so when this person passed away instead of simply letting them go and letting the cats die Aaron has invited them into his house
[09:30]and they are feral cats that go in and out of his house as they please it doesn't surprise me that's terrifying Aaron do you ever worry like do you ever like how what if the cat comes in he's like hiding in your basement and you don't know it is like does the cat spend the night there and you just don't even know no I don't have a basement I mean I have a garage but I can't get into the garage from the house so there's no way the cat could get to the basement have you still been in the garage no no I'm fully in the house now fully in the house with the cats no I I I pick the cat up and put her outside before I go to bed you touch the cat
[10:00]oh yeah she's very friendly Aaron I'm telling you you guys this cannot be the Aaron's Cats podcast we haven't even finished the intros yet okay I just know that cats are terrifying and Aaron had to come when I cat sit for some well cat sit for a friend way back and I wouldn't stay there one night because she had air conditioning oh yeah and I stayed there one night usually I would just tell her I stayed there and feed him and leave but this cat is fucking terrifying gross yeah scary cats
[10:30]are the scariest things what'd she have in her underwear drawer oh Matt Matt I don't think we checked her underwear drawer I mean I don't maybe you I didn't want to check her underwear drawer no and yet you know the underwear drawer would be the top drawer which I'm going to say again makes no sense should be the bottom drawer okay it's the first thing you put on it's right there hey Aaron if this isn't going to be the cat episode could we make it the ovipositor episode oh yeah of course that's what everyone wants to hear about deep pull deep cuts Bryce gave a big nod
[11:00]to that I've got Aaron you know what I've got Bryce Bryce where are you right now a basement in Minneapolis Bryce is in a wood paneled basement so he is fitting into this podcast perfectly I've got Bryce in Minneapolis Bryce how are you doing doing well today I'm excited to be here on my fourth or fifth favorite podcast oh hey that's better than it is for me I'll tell you that no I listen every other week and uh most of the time
[11:30]I love the podcast so I'm honored to be here do you listen to two in a row or do you do you just skip every every odd episode I I was like I'll listen to a few and then there's an album I I don't really like yeah I've listened some I don't really want to listen to them talk about it so I think a lot of people really like listen to the first half of your pod and then maybe don't listen to the second half I listen to both but I really am looking forward to like the that you guys talking about the music is my favorite part of the pod podcast so Rascal Flat should be great tonight somebody's listening
[12:00]I cannot believe that you were friends with Aaron that's so crazy somebody's listening now if you remember this is one of the last times we heard from Bryce on the podcast let's just pull this up real quick nice oh great over the part where you give one of my best friends shit and they go right to the music part but I just want to hear the one about the placemats so hurry up please and he did it we did it in my house man you're still giving him shit though Aaron I swear to Christ if you talk over the the over the punchline again here listen to this one everybody has
[12:30]COVID in my house man it was one of our favorite voicemails where basically it was like a double voicemail and it was just the sound of absolute desperation at the end of somebody who just is begging to have something to do during the lockdown more and more unhinged but I think that's my baseline though Aaron you can attest to that there are times when I just you know I'm unhinged so I sometimes have to just save a voicemail and listen to it later like I just know it's going to take me some time to get through it you recorded Aaron
[13:00]that one time too it was so good now I've got Aaron out in California now Aaron Aaron was recently telling me that he asked his German friend do you know the square root of 81 and the guy said no I'm actually in Portland tonight which I'm going to discuss in my reel and going you don't know about anything sexual let's talk about let it be by the replacements yeah tell me about it I'll tell you going on a family trip it's like oh yeah we're going to go on a vacation we're going to be in a hotel kids are going
[13:30]to have connecting rooms guess what the kids don't do if the bathroom's in your room knock oh okay they came in and they almost saw something that would wreck their brains and if you think it's me pumping away on my wife in animalistic lovemaking you'd be wrong it's us both side by side with our eyes closed jerking it oh I mean that's sad to see your parents do that you'd be like are my parents getting divorced you'd be like this is terrible this is the worst thing I could possibly
[14:00]imagine them doing I was I was worried I was going to say something like I was going to get you guys canceled on this podcast no don't worry don't worry mutual like parallel parallel play masturbation was not what I was expecting it was actually anti-parallel because we were going Charlie we were going Charlie's chocolate factory style yeah well yeah my feet were up by her head because who cares anymore it's not quite a 69 what is that
[14:30]call it the Forrest Gump and who is who is his buddy in the army Bubba the shrimp guy Bubba Gump you just yeah you just lean your head against mine I'll leave then we won't have to sleep with our heads in the mud yeah well my kids were like why is mom telling you to hurry up she wants to go to sleep I was like well that's don't worry about that Aaron how are you doing oh wait no we already said that I'm excited to talk about third placements I want to go back to masturbation practice because right well maybe we'll do that after the pod no no we'll do it now
[15:00]we'll do it now yeah is that something people do like why is your head where her feet are while you're masturbating well you gotta be by the feet I mean yeah that's where Rob you don't want to like look at each other's eyes and oh yeah Bryce I love looking at my wife's eyes she's got them closed Bryce what are you talking about she's thinking about Steve at that level in your relationship where you just normally sleep at the table no I you know what no I cannot tell a lie we are doing the parallel
[15:30]action when we're doing that so we're not head to toe if you get off on her toes yeah I guess not not get off off I mean like are aroused by her toes we're really that's what I thought you meant I'm not sure what the other get off part you were talking about beside the aroused part but I think he was referring to ejaculating on her toes I think that's where he was going these guys are at least playing it sly I worked with somebody hey I'm gonna be as filthy as possible oh no I worked with somebody at Starbucks who told us somebody did that to her like the night before
[16:00]it was so distracting the rest of the day I was like making bocas and I was like for those of you at home I had my eyes open real big looking at a boca cup I didn't order extra I didn't order extra foam every time I see Quentin Tarantino I think about that oh oh it's you know what there's so many scenes where they're like drinking water off people's feet okay so I'm just gonna tell you right now this voicemail's three minutes I wish it was what I wish it was 23 minutes I could not get enough of this voicemail this voicemail's
[16:30]one of the greatest things I've ever heard and you will not know how this voicemail's I guarantee right now you could sit there for most of this voicemail and be like I know how this is gonna end you don't so let's listen hey what up boys it's been a while since I called in here so I wanted to share a little thought with you guys and get your feedback on something I was fortunate enough to go on a flight here within the last two weeks flew out to California flight tonight my good buddy Rosie out there and he showed me that basically everybody in San Francisco gets high pretty much all day long so that was really fun
[17:00]for a couple days but my question for you guys is my flight out there so I got a thought for you guys and I want you to tell me which thing you would prefer so all three of these things occurred on the flight out to San Francisco from Minneapolis so it was a three and a half hour flight you guys tell me you rank them in order of which one you deal with one of them two kids sitting directly in front of me young girls with their mom and they were literally bouncing on the seats
[17:31]non-stop from the beginning of the flight and there was a lady directly in front of them that had zero patience for children and she repeatedly turned around and told her told her mother that she better get things taken care of and figure things out because she ain't dealing with it and it was amongst exciting there for the entire flight and I was sitting there a foot away from it feeling it the other one right at the start of our flight we were literally backing up and almost ready
[18:00]to take off in about like 30 seconds and as we're about to do that a lady in a seat just keeps up and starts walking down towards the end of the plane and all the people working immediately are like what are you doing sit down and she refuses to sit down and she is demanding that she gets to go to a different seat and she's very sketchy in terms of her behavior and the way she was acting and she wouldn't and they they allowed they allowed her to go all the way back and sit down in a different seat and she was acting weird
[18:30]the whole flight so like there was just that weird of like what in the world is this lady up to so now I'm just going to say this that happened to me on a flight once where we were just landing and a guy stood up and rushed toward the stewardesses in the back now in my head I'm sitting in the aisle in my head I saw this guy coming a ways away I thought to myself well I would simply stand up and take out who's ever trying to take over this plane right like that's what I would do I'm a hero in reality this guy rushed by me I went like this
[19:00]ah and I went like I leaned away luckily he immediately passed out so he was not a he was not a threat but I kind of felt like oh I kind of did something maybe I you know so there's a good story that's not going to get it out that's staying in very questionable and sketchy the third one two seats behind me an older lady let's say she was probably in her late 60s early 70s she completely pissed her pants to the point where her jeans were dripping
[19:30]with urine like it was just everywhere and you could see it and you could smell it and that was for the whole flight to the point where when we got off the flight and we followed her all the way out and she had no idea and so this was the whole flight so which one of those three would you be able to deal with the easiest all the way down to the third which one would just be way too much um I can't handle this this is just unbelievable so that was my flight out to San Francisco uh
[20:00]Rosie was awesome great to see him but I want to hear your guys' thoughts on that wow thanks for if peeing your pants is cool call me Orville Wright uh you know the thing is is that he saw a woman piss her pants on the plane and then followed her out and was like I got just the podcast to call with this story this story fits it perfectly he told me when I saw him he was like I'm not he was like I'm not even gonna tell you this story but I gotta I'm gonna call with it yeah okay so tell me which one of those to you is the absolute worst thing
[20:30]to happen on your flight uh Aaron what do you think I think it's the kids and the lady yelling that's just uncomfortable and no fun at all why is that funny I just think that's the exact same thing for me it sounds terrible yeah it just sounds awful I'm not sure what's funny about that Russell what about you I think I can put in my headphones crank up an episode of the podcast and ignore the lady as much as I don't I don't like that stuff I get uncomfortable with it I can't stand assholes for people and I can't stand
[21:00]being on planes by two unaccompanied kids but I think I can deal with that one I just put in the headphones and ignore it I don't know I'm gonna say the lady walking around in the plane this has been like a thing in the news lately right but we're kind of at the point in society where you kind of just have to go with it right maybe 10 years ago people would lose their shit but as long as they're not messing with anything what's the big deal right so maybe it's the piss my pee pants I don't want to get I don't want someone peeing on me right I gotta admit if you're on a flight and you smell that somebody pisses their pants
[21:30]not great right like that's not a great I would say that's bad it sounds like it's an it's an elderly person that probably can't control it I feel like it's hard to make fun of that or feel too it's just it is what it is right well still a bummer right it doesn't matter if they can control it or not I mean I'm assuming they can't I don't it would be worse if the person was like oh man now it's time for my favorite thing to do on a flight I don't know Bryce what do you think what's the worst of that do you think Bryce the thing with the kids I just
[22:00]been a parent and I elementary school social worker that would probably rub me the wrong way the piss in the pants whatever I know it's pee as long as I don't smell it I don't really fucking care that crazy person on the airplane that always someone could become unhinged or violently unhinged while I'm on a fucking flying tube of metal you know really frightens me Matt you know I've had a dog shit right next to me
[22:30]so a lady peeing you've been there two roads behind I mean that's who cares about that that's nothing so I the whole situation right the kids just jumping around that drives me bonkers but I never say anything some old an adult getting mad at kids is a whole other thing like just fucking deal with it or move or do whatever like don't do that like don't be a prick and so then you know the crazy lady to your point I mean it's not like she was running I think if it was like
[23:00]something if she was like screaming or something sounds like she just stood up and had to go potty or something I don't know she switched seats though see that's the thing is that once I saw somebody stand up during takeoff and switch seats and a kid was kicking my seat I'd be like hey I get to go switch a seat at normal times like I definitely can switch seats if they let somebody just do it out of hand I don't know well guys let's get into a roll in oh let's see what's going on anybody else out there who's on a plane where somebody
[23:30]pees themselves feel free to call in I think part of what makes it crazy is having all three occur on one flight right that's beyond insane yeah any one of those things would be a wild flight he told me he was like I'm gonna have to call I'm not even gonna tell you about this I gotta call must have been a spirit airline flight must have been a spirit I got a feeling knowing this guy it was probably like what is what is spirits offshoot what is the airline that even spirit people are like oh no thanks he's probably calling the airline to see
[24:00]if they'll allow him to put like four people in three seats or something like that save a couple bucks that woman saved ten bucks by just pissing herself they're like if you don't use the toilet so I'll give you an extra ten Rosie rolling going how's it going with you it's going great I'm in Portland today and tomorrow for work it's mostly team building stuff so I had a good day I got a slice of pizza and a shot of tequila and went to Powell's yesterday and bought a bunch of books so I bought some good stuff
[24:30]I'm excited about show us one book what's one book you bought I bought let's I got here I got I've been into the boxing theme so I bought The Fight by Norman Mailer so this is about the rumble in the jungle and then I didn't know this book existed on boxing by Joyce Carol Oates so I thought there's some cool pictures in there thought that was nice did you intentionally go to the boxing section I did yeah I was like I gotta check it and I was really torn between this
[25:00]Joyce Carol Oates book and then the FX tool Rope Burns Tales from the Corner which has Million Dollar Baby in it but I decided not to buy that one I went with Joyce Carol Oates I love how Aaron goes to Portland and he's like oh you know what I'm gonna do I'm gonna go to a bookstore and buy these books that I could have bought on Amazon new or used no way man but I bought it myself and it was right there I picked it up with my own hands it's an amazing book amazing bookstore Russell that's what we call a guy away from his kids where he's like I'll do whatever the fuck I want I don't give a shit
[25:30]bought the 75th anniversary version of Fixionis by Jorge Luis Borges which is pretty wild weird fiction go ahead Russell is he the guy that played the piano upside down you know what I mean like he did the silly piano what the hell is his name oh Victor Borges I think did you pick up anything from Brubaker or Rucka while you're out there no but I was in Brian Michael Bendis' neighborhood I didn't know that oh yeah yeah my buddy has a picture with him right he created Miles Morales
[26:00]yeah I'll tell you what if I was with Brubaker and I took a picture I would say hey why don't you why don't we actually take five ah very nice that's close that's a good ass joke Aaron I do have a real question for you guys but Russell you had you had a thought oh no I was just gonna ask you I wanted to learn more about your your team building like so after the end of team building you go out you go to the you don't hang with your teammates you're like fuck it I'm going to the bookstore no no I came in a day early
[26:31]I went to the bookstore last night and went out to dinner with a friend and then today was team building and then we had we had a dinner and then I left the dinner to come hang out with you guys and tomorrow did you leave early no I did not everybody was done we went out at like 4 30 and then everybody was like forget this we're going home I mean one guy did say yeah did you tell your co-workers I gotta leave I gotta go record my podcast I did not that's a good call yeah I did not I did not
[27:00]one guy did say like well does anybody want to go to a dive around the east side and I was like I don't know I might text him at like 10 and see what he can see but no I'm here with you guys but tomorrow morning I'm in charge of our outdoor activities so I I'm planning we're going to walk to the park and then I've got some reusable water balloons we're going to do already I'm going to stop you right there are you going to shoot it what are you going to do I would be so fucking mad oh my god a park in Portland you are going to be you're going to be secondhand heroin for sure yeah I would be furious
[27:30]Russell Russell what are you thinking your boss comes down I'm trying to get some help here we're going for a walk I just think it's weird that they're placing an out of town person in charge of the outdoor activities that's such a weird I wasn't fuck I was in charge of dinner I made the dinner reservation too I don't even live here where did you go the Deschutes Brewery it was nice people ordered ribeye I was like everybody's ordering ribeye so wait so wait is this people you work with yes and they live there yes and you planned the event
[28:01]I made the dinner reservation someone else was like hey we could go to this place I was like Aaron I got news for you you're not in charge okay they're actually in charge no no I'm not in charge at all that is true Matt are you making a big pot of tortellini tonight or tomorrow morning to bring along on your walk in the park I don't think I'm going to have the time I don't think I'm going to have the time I don't think I don't have a hot plate in here so we're going to walk to the park I have reusable water balloons in the spirit of being in Portland I'm going to do I'm going to do a water balloon toss
[28:31]but then like you know what happens at these events you plan a thing yeah and you think you've got enough content and then your thing lasts like five minutes and you got to fill the rest of the time so what do I do after the water balloon toss now we went to the park we did the water balloon toss I got another 30 minutes to fill what do we do I'm going to tell you right now water balloon toss I'm just going to give that an X right off the bat doing that with my coworkers I wouldn't want to do that somebody's going to be wet for the rest of the day going to be uncomfortable and it'll be Alice from accounting so what are we
[29:01]what are we thinking like what I guess what's the point of any of this including the balloon toss the point is to fill the time until I can fly home yeah that's it god you sound like every boss I've ever had the point is to go into a meditative state and finish this thing so I can fly home tomorrow I'm going to give you my most important thing to do right now and that is you have to be done 45 minutes early that's the only that's my biggest
[29:30]group building exercise is you say let's be done at 45 that's it we're done and by the way I found a great place that has bourbon I'm going to go there right now and I'm going to buy anybody who comes with me a drink that's a team building exercise right there if your day went crappy you knew you shat the bed or 800 pounds of poo somewhere in Illinois like what Rob said after that that's all anybody would remember is yeah man that fucking guy let's go home early
[30:00]bought a shot of bourbon okay yeah okay we did buy the drinks tonight at dinner so I mean there's that much but now I got to do it again tomorrow yes but you didn't buy dinner well no the company bought dinner bourbon okay that's all okay just making sure but I work for a non-profit so we can't we can't expense the alcohol so we can't so we as managers do they require itemized receipts yes oh see we have two tabs what I'm hearing is you're too cheap
[30:30]to buy your co-workers some bourbon they're not that important I'm not too cheap well they're not but I'm not too cheap to buy I would buy them some bourbon yeah but really as I know there's nothing so it's just like once we get to the park I do the water balloon toss we just walk back that's it have you thought about doing other like prototype you know like your typical team building activities like a trust fall or anything like that oh do you think do people still do trust falls actually I had a few years ago at a company I worked at we did a team event we went to a resort in the middle of winter up in northern Minnesota
[31:00]and we had like these these team coaches and it was the worst the worst and they had us do first thing we did a trust fall where we were outside everyone's in like jackets winter clothes like there's no one at this lodge because it's the middle of winter nobody goes up there when it's 10 below zero so we had to do a trust fall you walked out climbed up this ladder and stood on the ledge that was probably eight feet in the air and you'd have to say my name is Russ and I choose to do this event and then you
[31:30]and then literally I fell backwards and was caught by my coworkers the worst one we did was called the electric no there's two worse than this one the electric fence have you guys ever heard of this one no no no your guys' jobs sound like shit to me now so yeah we don't get any days off of the summer either Rob and somehow Rob's got all these days off but he's always gone we could never record anyways so so we did this one called the electric fence where you're in a room
[32:00]and there's two strings there's a string about three feet off the ground and a string about five feet off the ground your whole team and we had about 20 people on our team stands on one side of the two strings so it's like a fence yeah and you have to pass everyone through the two strings without hitting either the top or the bottom string without hitting the electric fence right oh wow so everyone's on one side and you literally have to pick up your co-workers so co-workers are touching each other's legs I was going to say that would be the worst it was it was the worst
[32:30]no touching so we get like four or five people through and I'm kind of looking around and I'm like I'm one of the I'm the biggest dude here and I'm like this is going to be so fucking embarrassing like if if I just lay back and they just like literally can't pick me up or drop me or like what do you do oh no yeah there's no touching you I mean Russell you know what happened to me once is I was at a thing where they were like hey we're going to do healthiness at the school so we're going to do have somebody come in and do acupuncture like at work
[33:00]they're sticking needles in you you want to guess where they decided to stick needles our feet so we had to take off our socks in front of our co-workers and just sit there in bare feet that's a nightmare that's a nightmare I've got the story can I pivot on that story please I was once at a a a dual wedding shower so I don't want to say who because I can't take back if I say who wait a dual wedding shower why would they be dueling each other
[33:30]like a family wedding shower where you've got men and women from the family they're celebrating a marriage that's going to happen and a person I know set up this game where the bride where all the dudes at this place took their socks and shoes off and then the bride had to get on her hands and knees and touch feet and guess which guy it was I would love that game oh no and this person came up with this game and I'm like absolutely not I am not doing this there is no certain and people did it like five six people
[34:01]took their shoes off and this lady went around and was touching dudes feet and then had to guess what guy it was that is so hot there's going to be none of that some blindfolded woman grabbing my feet the only other thing I came up with was if I you know I'm hoping that the walk kills some time I'm hoping that the water balloon toss kills a bit of time and then I was thinking like what if I just what if we just do a guided meditation in the park what are you fucking kidding me
[34:31]I was thinking like I was like what if I just play what if we just sit down and I just say like we're going to do like the mental health stuff and do a guided meditation god if you if I had a boss that did that letting me go home early like made me fucking sit there and fucking that's so like I should be clear I have I have the 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. hour and there's another activity after me so there's no going home early when I'm done people after you really want to fucking do their activity I have to fill the time
[35:01]that's the thing the only thing I can think of you know Rob had a list up there and I was thinking like a scavenger hunt but that's a lot of work on your yeah I don't have time to do that no you know all that stuff is I think this is a brilliant idea and it's just it's just me but to tell the most boring thing about yourself you know and we were talking about this on the text chain that's right so if you get caught needing something you don't want to tell like the three most interesting or two lies and the truth or two truths and a lie or whatever it is come up with you got to have like four or five things on top of your head Rob said that he like
[35:31]he doesn't like pickles and I said you know I think I always start my crosswords on the downs you know I don't go the across first I start with the downs that's fucked can I just say this right now that's fucked by the way to not do the crosses you do the downs first that's so fucked the crosses are there first I always go the downs first I don't know what I like that now that's perfect I'm very happy see I came to the right place and you got to give and it'll be it'll be fit in just perfectly well with your fucking boring ass
[36:00]you know non-profit people in Portland or whatever so I think it'll be great that's perfect one more suggestion that we did at our team building event this was the worst one we did massage the boss Russell's favorite they sat you down across a co-worker so it'd be like Aaron and I are co-workers and in pure silence you would just look at each other dead in the eyes for like five minutes where you're just looking at him in the eyes and then they did this exercise where they'd be like okay the person on the left stand up so then you're standing
[36:30]and the other person is sitting and you're looking at him in the eyes that's not even I've seen some thumbnails that look like that and it was literally like marriage counseling it was the worst it was the worst can you imagine it's like a sexual harassment lawsuit right yeah just waiting to happen yeah yeah it was not good this is calling the bluff on all the people who are like wouldn't it it would really be great to have an in-person get together then you have one and I'm bored as shit and then they don't say it again for another year alright I'm truly done how's it really going with Russell
[37:00]things are going good I've got one good thing and one bad thing which one do you guys want to hear first I'm going Aaron style let's go bad give me that bad so today I go into Chipotle and I'm in line so a lot of times are you guys seeing like the Chipotle's where you have to you can't order in the restaurant anymore you go in really and they won't let you order you have to order through the app and you gotta wait 10 minutes it's so hit and miss and it's just it's complete chaos around here they can't fire they can't hire enough people it's annoying as hell isn't it Matt you go in you're like I'm gonna get my food
[37:30]be in and out in a minute it's like no you gotta order online and wait 20 minutes or something like that they're not paying enough people but so I go in I go in and there's a guy in front of me and he's doing the move where he's going down the line and his arm is going up and over like the sneeze guard and his hand is almost in why would he do that I almost yelled at like the guy in the restaurant it was like what are you doing but I was like you can't you can't say anything can you nope I think you might be able to say something
[38:01]the worker should say something the worker should just be like hey I had a moment like this in the airport when we flew him from Colorado this guy was standing way too close to us in line and I was like do you have to stand I said is there a reason you're standing so close to us and I said it very calmly and politely and then the guy seemed like an actual kind of nice guy and he was super offended that I said anything and then I immediately felt bad so you gotta I don't know but reaching over the sneeze guard that's bad news man he said have you ever heard of parallel play I'm sorry
[38:32]I've been looking at my co-worker's eyes for the last five minutes on behalf of this podcast you Rob is head to toe parallel play head to toe parallel play yeah everybody's getting everything they want there my good thing was I did go to WWE Monday Night Raw last Monday I went to pro wrestling for the first time in about 20 years Russell
[39:00]how many guys there looked a lot like you I'm just gonna say that right now there were a lot of guys that looked like me but there was a lot of kids there too there were kids that were having a blast I think wrestling is a little different than it was when we were kids where it did not seem like R-rated or it didn't seem sexually explicit or bad language or that type of thing at all it seemed like good fun wrestling we've talked before about like would you rather go to a concert or a sporting event like you go to sporting events half the time your team loses you don't have fun you're stressed out the whole time wrestling is kind of
[39:30]like a great concert you're into it the whole time you're cheering when the bad guys come out you're booing but you're having fun while you're booing I thought it was super entertaining my nephew had a great time I had a great time I would say next time someone gets a chance they should go check out a pro wrestling event I think you'd have fun now Russell what is the food situation at the wrestling event what are we getting for food there I got a popcorn at the wrestling event I don't think they've got like San Francisco style food there was no bacon
[40:01]wrapped hot dogs or anything that I was aware of there was no hulkios or anything no there were no hulkios there were no hulkios now I gotta say this Russell you understand the reason this isn't like a sporting event is because it's not right it's not a sporting event like there's yeah it's fake like it's a choreographed no it's not fake it's choreographed sports sports are entertainment all this goes into the entertainment bucket and this is more entertaining than any football baseball or basketball game
[40:30]I've been in two in 15 years okay yeah but you live in Minnesota so well that's part of what it is now Russell who was the biggest name that you saw did we did our prediction come true did you see Brock Lesnar who was there Brock Lesnar was not there I'll tell you two or three guys that I think the biggest guy there the biggest name there was this guy the American Nightmare Cody Rhodes he is Dusty Rhodes remember Dusty Rhodes' son Dusty Rhodes was the American dream this is the American Nightmare Cody Rhodes
[41:00]okay and Rob maybe if you pull up Cody Rhodes entrance music one thing I was gonna say is part of what makes wrestling so fun is the entrances and the entrance music so when Cody Rhodes music plays people go ate shit and there's a part where everyone like cheers it music goes on music is a huge part of wrestling it is kind of a huge part of what makes it fun I'm with it it kind of rocks I got you a question you said that there was a wrestler whose father was Dusty Rhodes
[41:30]yes and like you saw the American Dream yep which is okay never mind it was a reference to a movie that faced the crowd it never yeah again a lot of beer in my system right now so I don't know you didn't expect to be listening to the Cody Rhodes theme song tonight Rob there's a part where everyone cheers whoa you'll hear it the whole crowd goes nuts for this right here ready wait for it
[42:02]whoa yes you know what we're all gonna say whoa here we go ready everybody Bryce you too here we go whoa whoa whoa wait a minute so he was somebody's at the door what's that dad yeah it was the Cody Rhodes theme song how did you know that that's good so he was the one that everyone in the fans were going were going crazy for the American Nightmare
[42:30]Cody Rhodes the other interesting one was I would say the American Nightmare is the number of people who don't have homes well Aaron will get to introduce his co-workers to a lot of them tomorrow in the park right I don't know I don't know I mean I've never that's the other thing I've never been to this park so I don't really know what it's gonna look like Aaron please send us a picture or something I will sorry Russell go ahead the other guy that we saw that was kind of a big name
[43:00]is not a big name in the pro wrestling world but remember Gable Stevenson the guy from the U of M you know one of our listeners asked me to ask you if he was gonna be there yes so Gable Stevenson the guy who won the Olympic gold medal like the two-time NCAA wrestling champion was there in one of the games that he won in what they call a dark match like they do matches before they go on TV and he came out suplexed the guy a few times waved to the hometown fans he got a there it is he got a big pop as they call it did he get a pop because he got booed in his debut in Texas
[43:30]he got booed but he gets the pop from the hometown fans Russell when you heard it was a dark match did you put on your blindfold and you thought it was gonna be an exciting date again I may have it's so loud in here it's dark I don't think it's ever watched professional wrestling before I think you might like it Bryce I don't think so what the fuck is happening I can tell you right now Bryce that what you want to watch I watch one wrestling match every year with my kids and that is the ladder match
[44:01]money in the bank where they take an enormous number of ladders much higher than you think put them in the ring and then have people try to crawl them crawl up them while other people try to drag them down and Bryce here's the crazy thing some of those people are pretty slow going up a ladder it would blow your mind how slow some of them go when they've been very athletic the rest of the match and then apparently a ladder they're so slow they could barely get up it I watched wrestling actually Bryce I watched wrestling growing up and all it did to me is I asked the neighborhood kids to keep pinning me
[44:30]oh pin me pin me it was a good joke I don't know if it's staying in but I liked it you always tried to get a hook to the leg too didn't you yeah yeah yeah you gotta hook the leg yeah now put me in a sleeper hold so I can come Jesus what I was gonna say speaking of baby faces let's see how Matt's doing but maybe we'll go to the heel let's how's their heel doing
[45:00]Bryce rolling going how's it going with you I'm a school social worker in a setting for EBD program and I love the kids I work with but it can be pretty stressful and I gotta go back to work in two weeks and not looking forward to that but I mean I'm looking forward to work but just no Bryce listen don't listen to the haters out there this is the Sunday of the summer it's depressing it's sad I got I got the worst email Bryce I get all summer here's the itinerary for you know for August 28th
[45:30]when we get back together first it was five minutes of looking in my co-workers eyes I was like well that's no good oh it can't be good an hour of looking at their feet right Rob oh so Bryce what have you done with your summer vacation just caring from English just caring from English she's the only one rolling going Matt how's it going with you good just want to say first of all Rosie good job keeping that that rolling going short like we talked about I did my best good work I did my best Matt

[48:30]stings here what did Matt's kids learn oh my god now you're making me jump all over okay here we go now I don't remember any of these whatsoever so let's just click the one that says second it's time to find out what Matt's kids are learning in North Dakota oh yeah daddy today I learned the most important amendment is the second one oh yeah I forgot about that one that's why it's labeled second that's why it's called second story checks out alright so it didn't learn too much but you know
[49:00]Leo big bingo player hello I'm a big bingo player I can hardly move my dauber it's twice my size this is huge bingo so of course all the drunk clowns up there and it happens everywhere you go you know the bingo caller says and under the oh column oh 69 69 and the whole crowd goes all these ladies at the bar just drunk and so then he just says you know what's 69 why are they cheering 69 and so
[49:30]he's having to say I don't know that's what you gotta say yeah did you tell him hey listen it's like head to toe parallel play gone wrong I can't tell you no but I might will when you listen to this podcast you're gonna learn a lot but someday on Valentine's Day when you get to do it on top guys on top on Valentine's Day that's a special day is Valentine's Day when you guys look each other in the eye yeah like in the same way you look down when you're taking a piss at a urinal you're like how are you doing down there you know what I mean she's looking down at you
[50:00]I'm doing I'm doing great there's one day a year where you can like tolerate that kind of intimacy in the Valentine's Day and then it's back to head to toe Bryce is very interested in your intimate life Rob you guys are gonna have to talk more often and sometimes it's Valentine's Day like every other year maybe hopefully we Valentine's Day yeah so that's all I had didn't learn too much this year they're getting caught up on the real world did you at any chance
[50:30]now this is terrible and you should not say this to your kids but did you say at all it's a meal for two with a hairy view did that come up oh no oh yes Bryce took a drink right before I said that I knew it was gonna be good laughing Bryce is such a he's such a trusting person for me to go into a obviously everyone else knew I was going into a bit and he took a big swing laughing it's time to find out what Matt's kids are learning in North Dakota oh yeah daddy
[51:00]Jimmy's parents are swingers oh well that's that's a weird one that's a weird one I don't know why I would say that listen okay so as you guys know I also went on a plane but unfortunately this was not a flight so I cannot play the theme song this was just in the airport as you know one of my favorite things to do before I go through security chub it up I do chub it up okay so I do chub it up laughing I would have paid a hundred dollars because I know they can see you naked so I want to show them like hey you know
[51:30]this is armrest up you guys know what I'm talking about so here's the thing laughing is that this time I went through and they said excuse me sir and they gave me like a two minute spiel of how they're going to have to like brush me down and I was like why is this taking so long and I and they go that's how you get chubbed up and it I was like some people it's called foreplay yeah foreplay I was like oh you are wearing gloves
[52:00]yeah oh you're wearing gloves and everybody has their feet off am I in heaven laughing you're wearing gloves and everyone has their shoes off am I in heaven I have to retake that because I said feet off it made no sense here's the deal I turn around and they highlight where they need to be inspecting on me there are three lit points and they are all in my crotch every single one of them is in my crotch so I was probably like oh yeah for sure I was like uh oh I went a little overboard
[52:31]I went too far to be fair Rob were you wearing like those jeans that you've got like with all the jazzed up back pockets and all that you know you've got those types of jeans I've seen you wear them well the leather pockets no I was not okay I was just wearing my normal stuff and I turned around and I it was like Matt hearing don't worry be happy I almost started laughing when I saw it because it was just too much they were probably like what is this guy is he like like does he have a Prince Albert or something like who knows what they thought by the way
[53:00]kids at home look for the okay so what happened did they search you or not yeah they they patted me down I thought it was great and all I could think of was you guys so here's a guy rubbing me I'm looking at this picture I'm thinking about you guys and you choked up yeah I didn't I didn't have to see my kids for 10 seconds it was the perfect vacation so glad to be part of that yeah it was my mini vacation also I found out immediately afterwards you have to like sprint to the bathroom or something right like at the Minneapolis airport yeah I sprint to the bathroom I put my legs real wide
[53:30]because that's my normal stance okay I have a wide stance and then you've got don't worry be happy in your head so you just start tapping your toes along to the beat and there you go by the way I had a crack team do some research about which bathroom that was in the airport and it is by the Prince store so if you want to go in there no yep if you want to you want to have a wide stance that's where it is now I got to say guys listen you want to go get jerked off in the bathroom great don't blame you get it
[54:00]I think it's great but it would be a bummer if it was you the guy in the stall with the hole in it and then like a stall down there's just a guy who doesn't know what's going on you know and he's just taking his time going to the bathroom he's kind of like hey like we're trying to do something over here did you see how wide my stance was earlier like that would be a bummer right if someone were in the public bathroom doing what you need to do in the public bathroom eventually if the noise that cued you to finish is a toilet flushing that's really bad
[54:30]that's a really bad sign yeah it feels like you got some stuff to work through because then you'd be at home you'd be like honey wait a minute you know what I mean like wait a minute I'm close you guys might not hear that but it's going to kill when I put on the sound effect and the other thing I have is I had a cousin who I set out a cheese plate and she told me that the cheese term is not gouda it's not pronounced gouda
[55:00]okay she went to the Danish city that it's named after and it is pronounced howda howda with an H no this is like I mean that's fine but I'm not so for now all you back to better foot freaks out there we are going to be calling gouda howda and telling people we're going to tell people it's pronounced howda Hawaii I'm in I'll do it we're going to start this craze we're going to start this craze it's going to go nationwide gouda is howda and we're going to get credit
[55:30]with that so can everybody do that howda howda howda howda howda how the heck do we keep going with this great podcast I mean we could listen to some music well let's talk about the album it's a music podcast look at Bryce perked up he's chugging it up he calls this the beginning of the podcast he chugged it up hey Rob I know we typically talk a little bit about we typically talk a little bit about the band before we go into the album and everything
[56:00]and I just wanted to do since we had Bryce here as a guest and I know he's a big Replacements fan before we even got into the album I thought we could do a list of the greatest Replacements songs ever the greatest Replacements songs ever oh wow this is he already did a list yes jeez I'll tell you what this is like America prior to 1776 it's unprecedented so as you guys know in 2000 pro football players did go on strike and brought in substitute players
[56:30]wow starring Keanu Reeves so we're gonna celebrate the best songs from the Replacements the first song was from 1912 it's 1991 it's Good Vibrations by Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch wow oh this was on the Replacements soundtrack can I tell you Russell this is one of my favorite Replacements songs it is a great Replacements song isn't it this Bryce where does this rank
[57:00]on all the Replacements songs for you top five it's a little later in the program right 91 they were pretty much over by then weren't they kissed that thing I don't know do you guys know that song was actually on the Mighty Ducks and Mighty Ducks 2 soundtracks which were actually filmed here in Minnesota it's too bad we couldn't get a great band from Minnesota like Bob Dylan Soul Asylum Semi Sonic or Atmosphere to play on that soundtrack right those are I mean those are some of the greatest
[57:30]Minnesota bands I've ever heard of right that would have been awesome throw Hoosker Doo in there wow left out like Alexander Alexander O'Neal man okay it's a mint condition all right next song on the list Moon Bato Coach Patrick can I just say right now Russell Good Vibrations my wife has painted that onto the side of her bedside table like an Obama in World War II and it's got a woman holding two C batteries next song on the list
[58:02]is from 1987 I've never heard of any other group or any other individual with the last name or the name Mars come up with a great song wow but this one was Mars the song is Pump Up The Volume wow Pump Up The Volume Pump Up The Volume Pump Up The Volume I would say Russell this is one of the greatest replacement songs by a guy named Mars I've ever heard in my life I've never heard of any musician named Mars that are good
[58:31]wow have you heard of anyone Pump Up The Volume my favorite part about Mars is he had that hat where it went way up in the front I wonder if a drummer wrote this song right oh I mean one could only hope that is a great replacement song Russell one of the greatest replacement songs I've ever heard all right next song on the list is from 1994 this is another song this was a band that must have influenced great bands that came after him this is the Rolling Stones You Got Me Rockin' oh
[59:00]oh my god I actually read there was this guy named Tommy Skinson who was super inspired wow by the Rolling Stones it's too bad that guy never made it anywhere else right wasn't he in Guns N' Roses eventually I think so yeah he played in Guns N' Roses are you guys talking about Buckethead he was by the fountain I think at the beginning of that TV show next song on the list the second best
[59:31]replacement song ever is from 1973 it's Bachman Turner Overdrive Taking Care of Business Taking Care of Business Every day Taking Care of Business Now guys this song's about Jerk Eye right yeah every day Taking Care of Business This actually inspired many musicians including Aretha when she referenced it remember when she said in Respect Take Care TCB
[60:00]that's Taking Care of Business that's her TCB that song I mean Elvis had this on his jet for God's sakes can you imagine saying something that Elvis puts on his jets okay Russell let's go to the next song which I definitely didn't know there actually is a local band that has covered that once I've never heard of them I don't think their sound quality is that good but check out this cover that I heard of Taking Care of Business that was on a live album from 1985 called The Shit Hits the Fans wow that's one of the greatest American bands ever
[60:30]right that's kind of sloppy yeah I like that it's a little amateurish but that's alright this sounds like it might inspire generations of music yeah absolutely hey yeah this band is definitely better than Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers right the best song from The Replacements the best replacement song ever is actually the song On Wisconsin let's see if you guys know this song Wisconsin On Wisconsin
[61:01]oh god I like this band the show in the show okay guys I have to tell you do you guys know that On Wisconsin was actually written by a guy named William Purdy and the lyrics were written by a guy named Carl Beck so these guys were roommates in and they lived in Chicago together and there was a contest in like 1908 to find the new U of M fight song and this guy
[61:30]William Purdy wrote the music for it and Carl Beck went to Wisconsin and he was like we need to use this for Wisconsin instead Gary's got a boner so eventually they end up giving it to the University of Wisconsin it becomes their fight song and so they go on the first time this is ever played is in 1909 at the Wisconsin Minnesota football game so Minnesota couldn't get the fight song it goes to Wisconsin so I gotta ask you guys when it comes to the writing the best replacement song ever who did it better Beck did it better
[62:00]hey Aaron check your texts good point yeah I know oh Bryce you can't call him because he records on his phone all right let's clap he's not asking for my address is he Bryce we're gonna clap on four again Bryce is just clapping I texted him I'm so we're gonna talk about the album we did it we made it after the replacement I have no idea what's fucking happening
[62:30]I was a little frightened by what just happened to be honest but Bryce you have to think of a joke after the show that's your job okay all right Russell I'll tell you what that with the exception of the second to last song I heard that was one of the greatest replacements list I've ever heard my favorite part of On Wisconsin is there's no way people playing that song would ever get in trouble one of the best troll jobs anyone has ever done in their life
[63:01]I loved every second of that I gotta admit I gotta admit I do have another list tonight later and I Russ texted me his idea and I was like yup we're doing that that's a good one I like that this that was like who did all the research on that we kind of split it it's not it's not important actually who's doing we promise to be loved by that and it's amazing oh yeah Bryce we want to deliver to our fans that's our number one goal now listen
[63:30]so obviously the replacements replacements for those of you that haven't gotten oh I don't know about half the jokes in the episode so far they are the Minneapolis band and it started when when Bob Stinson gave his brother Tommy a bass when Tommy was 11 years old he started when he was 11 years old to get him off the street they heard them practicing with another guy Mars as their was Mars there I'm not sure but as a as a trio who played instrumentals pump up the volume pump up the volume the guy who walked by
[64:01]was a local janitor who then went down through a window in the story I read and talked to these guys listened to them and then told a later singer oh the band actually doesn't like you which was a lie so he left that janitor was Paul Westerberg who became the lead singer so here we have a band with an 11 year old kid and a janitor okay does it doesn't seem like that should work out on paper I'm just going to say it that way didn't really either
[64:30]yeah it sort of didn't work out right yeah if you heard that and then you were like oh I can't wait to hear their album I don't think anybody would say that Justin DeFale Justin DeFale in 83 they were big enough to be on tour with REM and what they found is that they hated playing for fans who didn't like them and so they would often play they were a punk band and they would often play songs to antagonize the group that was listening to them and this is part of why they kind of came up with this album because even then when they were doing punk stuff
[65:00]they said well there are no rules in punk and all of a sudden it's like nope you can't play your instruments well you have to play fast you have to be loud you have to wear black and they were like well wait a minute there are all these rules and kind of like REM right this is the album that really shows a major shift in who the replacements are right from punk to Bryce how do we describe this album it's not punk it's punk to almost to alternative right well it's kind of the culmination of what you were just saying so the antagonizing of the fans
[65:30]or again in the spirit of the replacements I'm very drunk and high I don't know how to take music and they often didn't and so say they're playing in Nashville they like in a country country and western bar they'd fucking play punk and then they would be playing in Manhattan at CBGB's for a bunch of people that are coming specifically to see them and wonder if they
[66:00]you know we should sign this band they would just play country songs or covers of other bands of other bands and throw fart bombs and they would just listen to the crowd they wouldn't play their own music right this album feels like that's what this is right in the title let it be a reference to the Beatles but also it's there's different styles of music right they're really exploring more heartfelt stuff
[66:30]than they may have felt in the first two albums so I think you did see that on Hootenanny on this album they still kind of had the like poke you in your eye like fucking it's a joke that they had like earlier on other albums like Gary's Got a Boner Tommy's Got His Get His Tonsils Out it's all of those things they fucking named one of the songs after a ski hill in Burnsville by the way if you're wondering what Bryce is talking about there when he said tonsils and boner
[67:00]those are two titles of songs on this album so just to prepare you Bryce I think I mean Bryce obviously that was a great job you're doing great Bryce one thing we don't do on the show ever is apologize for getting too drunk or too high never ever ever do you apologize for that again I don't always do this I just in the spirit of the replacements being one of the drunkest bands of all time I thought I would do that and I'm regretting it so you know what a lot of people feel that way after being on the podcast don't worry about it
[67:30]wait until you say you were on a podcast and nobody asks what the title is head to toad feel that way head to toad I like that except it sounds like you're with a toad here's the thing they met actually with Peter Buck from REM from that tour the guitarist and said hey will you produce it and he was like sure and then he said well you guys don't have any material you don't have enough but Peter Buck does show up a couple times on this album on this first song and just to give you an idea of what kind of band they were they were going to call this album Whistler's Mammy which is a what not a great name instead of like Whistler's Mother it's Whistler's Mammy
[68:00]which is questionable and then they said the next thing we're going to do is called Stunk and then he said okay we're just going to call it whatever song comes on the radio so whatever song it could have been I mean this could have been this band this album could have been called like Rump Shaker right like it could have been called think of a funny song Blue nailed it funny album and song name god I nailed that one and of course the most famous replacements we know is of course from the They May Be Giants song Hi We're the
[68:30]Replacements what? I don't know this song we're in the middle of it they actually asked for Tommy it's such a good song so here we go first song I Will Dare okay now you might think oh Mark Summers is he there? no that's a different dare I Will Dare we have Peter Buck playing Mandolin and I think right away right you're hearing
[69:00]a turn in the replacements like if you're a Replacements fan and you're expecting hardcore punk and you turn this on totally different yeah you're hearing Tommy do what Tommy does was this was this song ever in a movie? this song should have been in a movie right? in Feeling Minnesota Keanu Reeves and oh Keanu okay sang it in the backseat of a car oh no way wow it just feels like a movie song to me Feeling Minnesota kind of a flop like the replacements okay
[69:30]very easy on the theme next up uh uh Favorite Thing yeah I know what's he singing about what's his favorite thing he's struggling to fit in and find his favorite thing pretty much I mean this whole album right is like teenage angst like it's tough being a teenager and it's even tougher when you're an adult janitor who's hanging out with teenagers you know what I mean that would be tough as well
[70:00]but we don't know what his favorite thing is it's hard for a dyslexic janitor but man that's it yeah it's his favorite thing I think it's his favorite thing is I don't know Aaron you could have done the research you're in a hotel room by yourself I read it I got a whole book about it Aaron what are you possibly doing in a hotel room by yourself where you don't have enough time to do research I've been reading the book I got I'm Bryce I'm halfway through this gigantic fucking book I own not one but two replacements books so Trouble Boys the story of the replacements
[70:30]by Bob Mary you can see how far I'm in it's really good I own two replacements I made it through this album I own two replacements books I own a set of live recordings on vinyl by the replacements I have purchased none of them they've all been sent to my home by our very own replacements guy and I love him for it and I tell you why I send it all my favorite people on this planet and I love the replacements oh no we're getting emotional people that I love I just want to share things I love and
[71:00]Aaron also I feel like is in on the joke of the replacements like you can drink and flop on his face and you know we're all fucked up and he gets that so you know that that is why he gets those things in the mail Aaron do you have is it do I remember right you have a replacements lyric tattooed on your body I do yes in fact it's on my it's on my arm right here
[71:30]is it from this album it's from Tim it's from the album Tim which I actually I think might be my favorite replacements album but that's because it's what is what is the lyric if you don't mind me it's the song here comes a regular here comes a regular written about the CC club that's why I was mad at you guys god damn I am drunk in the first place you don't have to say it so often no I like it you lead me into it so you guys started this podcast under one Rolling Stone 500
[72:00]and then it switched to the next right it did changed yeah never to switch again the phone I have to fucking pick with you guys is the last one had two replacement songs on it album you would have already gotten to Tim which had here comes regular that was up higher than let it be that dropped out let it be was here and I I feel like I'm not I feel like I'm Tim Heidecker right now holy shit
[72:30]I'm drunk Bryce if you Bryce if you keep talking about picking my bone I might Whistler's mammy all over so don't keep me just stop using that phrase picking my bone was I saying picking my bone yeah you're you got a bone to pick that's weird because Russell has a tattoo that said I've got those good vibrations feel it feel it I got one that says picking my bone head to toe we're coming out and this one
[73:00]is a lot more punk this is punk yeah and this is about as Bryce has talked about they would come out of performances and be absolutely blasted including Russell we mentioned them once on the list of bands that are banned from SNL do you guys enjoy the more punk sound or the more country sound I like the pop stuff I like I like the I like the more pop stuff but it's it's similar to most grunge bands from you know my era
[73:30]and I think I'll get into it a little bit later that I think they all had to have heard the replacements because I hear Nirvana and Kurt Cobain you know out of Westerberg more than anything I think that I've ever heard I mean it sounds like they came right from the replacements to me and maybe you could talk about it Bryce but you know they would often play these melodic soft songs and then go right into these just straight up short punk songs like this and so I thoroughly enjoyed this album it was great I loved the change of pace
[74:00]and everything that goes along with it yeah same me I love same me god wait a minute oh I'm so drunk same with me I thought I love the changes where you'd go from that to a real punk I'm gonna edit that out god damn it god damn it Rob you're an idiot alright how about this you're not an idiot man don't say that then I can't edit it out but Bryce thank you so much I appreciate it Tommy gets his tonsils out now this was based on a true story about the bassist
[74:30]Tommy Stinson do you want to guess what that story was about? getting his tonsils out? I don't know it didn't say but I assume it's him getting his tonsils out I mean it does show Westerberg's songwriting prowess that he could just write a song about anything like it's if nothing else before you guys get to androgynous can I just say one thing god I again how did they play instruments this fucking drunk I don't recommend it holy shit
[75:01]okay so the thing drunk the thing that this happens like twice a year now and I I thought I would get drunk and now you have it recorded for for all of his for your children to listen to someday just let this be a listen to my children you'll be able to listen to it in four weeks when we release an after oasis and all that my children listen to this someday when they're old and gray like my fucking 50 year old dad got drunk for his friend's podcast on a school night well it's summer
[75:30]vacation because he thought it would be fun to do that because it's a joke because of his favorite band being drunk all the time yeah I did that but what I wanted to say about it was like Paul I think you had ambitions of going higher I mean there's a lot of in him of like some of the more esoteric or cooler things that he got exposed to by Peter Jesperson at the Orfolk
[76:01]which became tree twin yeah tree house has been closed and he's like I got you Bryce I'll edit it don't worry okay no no no no no don't edit it but something something something but then the point was yeah that's what the point was is this the janitor we're talking about this is before before androgynous 100% it's the janitor I mean
[76:30]I got a question you guys have brought up tree house you brought up CC club I mean were they hanging out on Lindale on 22nd or whatever 26th 26th yeah that's kind of about yeah this entire album is map quest central yeah okay Bryant map quest you know they got French metal French metal breakeries just to the south of it there now they've got the new building across where they got the Aldi and I think tree house is gone is it not there anymore am I right that's right
[77:00]and Bob Bob died on 35th and Bryant right no off of Lindale a great across the street from the Bryce can I get a Bryce how can you hop in on this I need someone to give me the you guys have said multiple times like this didn't work out well I don't know anything about the replacements did they die did they break up what happened like how many albums were they done quickly or what was how did it go poorly all of those things happen yes they all yeah there was this album
[77:30]then then Tim came out which was probably their like critical high point and then it was what then please to meet me after Bob was gone now I remember the joke before androgynous yes I am drunk no say what you just said bring it back they was pleased to meet me and then they broke up it was Tim which is probably their critical high point Paul ambitions of being I got by talking about Captain Neil like we listen
[78:00]to that stuff but also the cooler esoteric stuff and had ambitions of being maybe someone deep down inside of him Rod Stewart right in the faces I think he knew he was a fuck up he had a friend that committed suicide when he was in high school and he's dyslexic and his dad was an alcoholic that could have been a great pro golfer that sold cars his sister was a stewardess and you'll get to waitress in the sky about her talking sarcastically
[78:30]about her customers that's a different album but they were going to fail and so all of these songs are about somebody that like I could write brilliant stuff like I will dare androgynous there's lots of great stuff I love favorite things 16 blue 16 blue unsatisfied all of those brilliant signs but you know what I really can't all in
[79:00]so I gotta put like a fucking joke kiss cover on this and then is Buck Hill on this one or is that on the previous one no it's on Hootenanny yeah it's on Hootenanny but which is an instrumental about you know a ski hill in Burnsville and this one has senior video yeah so down off 35 W and 35 E we're kind of right where they converge on each other right so they write all these joke songs because they can't really go for it because they're gonna fucking fail that's what this album is
[79:30]I mean that's what every that's what we can all relate to that right where like somebody you do something like that and they're like well that wasn't very good you're like yeah it's a fucking joke didn't you hear the joke it's like a joke song I'm not even trying that hard like if I was really trying yes that's part of why the replacements live on not just because they're a good band but because critics love them so much to the point where I think that the line between and I know with rock criticism the line between real journalism and fandom is blurred anyway but I think journalists love these guys because they really identified
[80:00]with the band and that's why they've you know gotten such lore even though they didn't sell a lot of records I think you go ahead Bryce I'm so I'm step again I'm step on everybody's toes and been on a podcast you're the guest you're supposed to be literally doing the best job of any of us right now hey hey when you step on him that's that's part of my turn oh my god step on him so hard so hard Bryce yeah I'll go so I you know I was just gonna say I think no matter
[80:30]what lot in life you take right or what avenue you go down everybody always goes down always likes the people in the end who are actually really good at their job but don't give a shit if that makes a sense yeah you don't care what other people think you did it your own way kind of a deal it's the one who if you got just a complete ass kisser or the people that are just they want to make an album to sell as many as they can so you can just tell that they're trying to make a commercial hit as opposed to like write their own music right and I think it's such a dichotomy because
[81:00]it's a well do you want to be a band and do you want to like actually like make this your career or do you want to just be like a guy who's very sarcastic you know so I don't know it's like I am completely enthralled by this whole story and I didn't know anything about it and we and I'm from Minneapolis and all this stuff so I'm on this wormhole now I'm trying to figure out who the replacements are and you know Mary Lucia isn't Mary Lucia isn't that Paul West's sister you know things like that I had no idea Mary Lucia you know was they're the most Minneapolis love her pizza yeah
[81:31]Mary Lucia pizza give me the bear love the bear in the sky is inspired by Mary's being being a stewardess at the time flight assistant at the time and people being rude to her and so it's written on the next album but I remember so much that they're just like I don't give a fuck it's I don't give a fuck because I'm
[82:00]scared I'm really gonna fail and I don't have it in me right and there's a there's a fragility in that that's the same fragility as an ass kisser right but they just are more raw it feels genuine though and not like an act right it's it's not a pretentiousness it feels like a genuine insecurity right yes yes it's they are put a central Minnesota band they are like oh so good that we're in the middle and we're overlooked I don't know if
[82:31]you guys are familiar with like Jante or Yante's law I am because you've told me about it yeah look it up yeah it's like a lot of Swedish Norwegian immigrants came to Minnesota and it's like you're not good enough you're not better than anyone else no one's better than you but you're certainly not better than anyone else if anyone ever laughs at you you tell them we got stories about you too it's like we might be like awful and there's that
[83:00]undercurrent in there of just like don't stick out of the crowd because your neck out because you can get it chopped off and everything is in that in this album and they were always that and then when they started a little bit better or a little bit more acclaimed like even when they were on like Saturday Night Live like they got so fucking drunk and then they got the host drunk right before the show that they were banned from NBC
[83:31]for decades yeah Russell they had basically one more album after this with their original lineup the next one after that I think mostly doesn't have Bob Stinson on it and then Bob kicked him out for being too drunk but they got him too drunk they were only a little bit less drunk than he was and then Bob died young of like organ failure just like died from living too hard so you have all this stuff right like all these songs where it's like these and then you have a song like this which in 1983 a song about queer 1984
[84:00]I'm so sorry you're wrong Rob a queer I mean they just have this queer stuff like down to what how we would talk about it now and this was 40 years ago like this is crazy androgynous yeah it describes positive terms of romantic relationship between two gender non-conforming individuals right yeah forward thinking I mean this is honestly this song is I think it's musical genius like the
[84:31]writing is the the sound of it is I you can just hear it here like it's what you guys are talking about and when I agree with you it sounds like I kind of came up with it too so and I think this was I mean it sort of previews the downfall of the band because this was Paul doing something on his own can you imagine if Paul though they could tap into that there's a lot of that through out a whole album how that they would have been regarded as
[85:01]REM like yeah for sure yep but because of that like Dante's Law I'm a fuck up you're a fuck up I can't I'm gonna fail I can't let them see these things they had to include like you know Tommy gets his tonsils out and and a shitty kiss cover right like gonna push back that is I kind of enjoy it is also
[85:30]like I think really poetic it's yes they're not REM but they are fucking more real because this isn't an act this is just who they fucking are I love that like kiss Dante's Law number seven you you're not to think you are good at anything I mean that's yeah that's like that's it the number one of all of them just anything nobody's better than you either yeah and so it's like you're not
[86:01]to think anyone cares about you listen yeah this podcast could be good as any podcast if I just didn't have a job if I have more time but I don't want to okay but it's as good as anybody else out there really another famous Minnesotan I'm good enough right I'm smart enough I don't know if I look at this you're not to think you're anything special I mean compared to our dumb shit listeners we're pretty special you're not to think you're as good as we are I don't I don't know when I start going down through these I'm starting to have
[86:30]a little more confidence. I got to say, when I think about the replacements to how they treated their fans, that I get. I 100% get that. That's what you aspire to. That's really cool, Bryce. Bryce, it's not just me who loved the song Androgynous, and that's what brings us to tonight's second list. Second list of the night. Double rainbow. Now, this list is all covers. You guys know I love covers.
[87:00]There's no Tina Turner covers. I hate to admit it. I hate to say that right now. First, of course, we have Androgynous by The Replacements. This song was covered by the Crash Test Dummies. Wow. Wow. Kind of got a cool take on it, right? Yeah. Can I just say this right now? After today, I think I kind of love the Crash Test Dummies. Because
[87:30]I admit something right now. Do you know who else covered this song? What? Miley Cyrus and Joan Jett together. You guys knew this. Are you serious? That would be so good. I'll play that in the next show. Wow. I forgot what this list was about. It's actually about the top because there's no more Replacements coverage. So this is the top Crash Test Dummies list. Top covers involving
[88:01]the Crash Test Dummies because I ran out of Replacements stuff real fast. So it's just... All right. So... For example, XTC... Now we all know XTC had a song called All You Pretty Girls. XTC, of course, a punk band. Kind of, right? XTC... I don't even know. Well, guess who loved that song? It was our CTD Crash Test Dummies. This is Crash Test Dummies?
[88:30]This is making me reassess Crash Test their shummy. Yes, that's what happened to me. You sound like the guy This sounds very They might be Giantsy to me. There he is. There's Brad Roberts coming in there. Thank you, Brad. Brad from Sling Blade. Now, of course, one of our favorite Crash Test Dummies songs, The Ballad of Peter Pumpkineater. Peter Pumpkineater Or whatever it's called. The Ballad of Peter Pumpkineater
[89:00]Off the... This is a song about Jesus. Off the Dumb and Dumber soundtrack. It turns out, Russell, guess what? The Ballad of Peter Pumpkineater The Ballad of Peter Pumpkineater Russell, it turns out, guess what? That's a cover by a band XTC. I did not know it was a cover. They covered two XTCs XTC songs? Yes. Now.
[89:32]Dude, I am so fucking drunk, period. What is happening? Does this make sense? Bryce is calling Aaron again. Aaron, don't pick up this time. Don't pick up. His voice texting me. His voice texting me. Bryce, I'll explain it again. Bryce. This is the greatest... Bryce, look me in the eye for a minute. Just look at me in the eye. This doesn't make sense. Don't try to make sense of it. Okay. It doesn't make sense. Can I read what my vote was? Yes. So fucking drunk and high would be funny
[90:00]because that's what the replacements did. You can't play your instruments drunk. You really can't. What is happening? Does this make sense? It does not make sense. I'm going to explain it again and I thought I was so clear the first two times. This list is the best covers involving the crash test dummies. No, it doesn't make sense. He only said it ten more times. At this point, do you know what makes more sense in this list? Russell's rating system of his movies. That makes more sense in this list. Bryce, at this point,
[90:30]when Jennings Jr. covered Can't Hardly Wait, that crash test dummies had no more covers. So you would think, oh, this list must be Lorde covered Swingin' Party. I would check that out. Say, Bryce, you're doing a replacements, best replacements covers list. That's actually not what this is. This is a list of the best covers involving the crash test dummies. What a disaster. Oh, my God. So it turns out, and I would count these as covers. In 2002, in 2002, in 2002, the crash test dummies released an album called Jingle All the Way.
[91:01]Now, you might think, well, that's weird. It must have been before the Arnold Schwarzenegger movie. That's not a tumor. Where he's trying to get turbo. No, that was the one with Turbo Man. They had to get Turbo Man. We all remember that hit with Sinbad. Also filmed in Minnesota, by the way. That Jingle All the Way was from 1996. Their album, Jingle All the Way, was after the movie. That blows my mind. Sometimes I really do think it's all connected to Minnesota. Was that on purpose? 100%. 100%. I don't really believe that. And, hey, Bryce, guess what? I went down to Mystic Lake
[91:31]with my sister to go see a comic there and they wouldn't let me in because she wasn't 21 years old, even though the ticket said 18. And guess who that comic was? Sinbad, co-star of Jingle All the Way, starring Arnold Schwarzenegger. It would have been funny if you said Louie Anderson. Well, God damn it, you're right. That's dead. This is now your new favorite Christmas album, Jingle All the Way by the Crash Test Dummies. Here's the Crash Test Dummies doing Jingle Bells, a cover. I would like to remind you that we're on track five
[92:00]of the album that we're actually discussing tonight. It's only 33 minutes in, so it'll be all right. It's all right. Guys, this is terrible. This is so good. Oh, my God. Now, as I was checking other covers of the Crash Test Dummies did, as this list is about, I noticed my favorite Christmas song of all time on the album Jingle All the Way. It's Good King Wences. It's that last one, but I found it like the fellow who goes to bed. Yeah. What'd you say, Bryce? What's it about? It doesn't need
[92:30]to be repeated. Oh, okay. The listeners will hear it. It's in there. What's it about? No. Well, actually, Bryce, this list is about the best covers involving the Crash Test Dummies. Now, unfortunately, Crash Test Dummies. Bryce, because they covered Androgynous Bryce. Trace it back. This is easy to do. You think this is tough. We've had way harder ones than this. of a different band. Now, here's the deal. There has been a band who covered the Crash Test Dummies.
[93:00]It's a reversal. It's a cover reversal. Mm-mm-mm. Was covered by none other. Wait, Bryce, this is going to blow your mind. Guess who covered mm-mm-mm by the Crash Test Dummies? If this isn't a replacement and it doesn't come full circle, I don't even know what to do. Can I just say this? I did type in Crash Test Dummies in Beck to see if I could make a connection and the only thing that came up was this eBay listing that had Blind Melon, Beck Odele, Bare Naked Ladies, Crash Test Dummies, and Presidents of the
[93:30]United States of America and that CD is for sale for $20. I got to get that CD. That's the best deal I've ever seen in my life. I love all those CDs. Five CDs for 20 bucks? Five CDs for 20 bucks. That's pretty good. That's really good. I know who really wrote that song. What? It was the Dave Matthews band before they dumped all the shit in the record. They were not saying, mm-mm-mm. The people on the boat were not saying, mm-mm-mm. There was two hours ago we talked about that. Guess who that is? Dave Matthews band
[94:00]covered it. Right? Mm-mm-mm was covered by none other Crash Into Me. Dumpers. Russell coming in hot. Mm-mm-mm was covered by none other than the actor who plays Hawkeye, Jeremy Renner. Oh, get the fuck out of here. What are you doing? What is happening? We could have done a double tonight. This is insane. Dude, the arms of an angel.
[94:30]Guys, Jeremy Renner of getting hit by a snowplow fame. He got in an accident. Oh, no. He couldn't go back to work. He couldn't go to school. And you know when he went back and he was like that? Snowplow. Couldn't quite explain it. It just fell and hit me.
[95:00]It turns out Jeremy Renner has the best cover involving the Crash Test Dummies. Are you guys talking about a list of Sarah McLaughlin songs? I'm sorry, Mark. Bryce is still texting people. I bet he's texting me. No audio texts after that. What the fuck is that? I'm serious now. Were you guys just talking about a list of Sarah McLaughlin songs? No. No. Bryce, you're going to listen back and see that the list is actually really clear. What it was about. So let's get into... I feel like
[95:32]this is annoying. Like the replacements of fans would annoy their bands. Yeah, it's Bryce. It's meta. It's so meta. I think that's where we're going. That's what I planned and it's all... That wasn't meta but that's what's happening. Why they did it. It's all come up organically. Very organically. I love it when a plan comes together. Rob in the future, don't worry. You got this. Believe in your editing skills. Now, have you ever heard a song?
[96:00]I heard this song, didn't know anything about it. I instantly knew it was a Kiss song. Black Diamonds. This just sounds like a Kiss. Kind of feels like a wrestling entrance song. Oh, it does. You're right. I'm a Chris Kiss dummy. And like Bryce said earlier, kind of a strange one to include on an album like this, but I enjoyed it. We have a 12-string guitar intro here to Unsatisfied. They literally recorded this
[96:31]in the studio like in one or two tries. Kind of slapped it together. It's amazing. Yeah, it's a great song. A little Led Zeppelin-y maybe? Yeah, I was also thinking of like Poison and bands like that, right? Sure. Yes. All right. I just wanted to show that guitar because I thought it was so good. Next up, Senior Video. Senior Video. This is a song about how much they hate MTV. Did you know that the 11th rule of Hante's Law
[97:00]acts as the penal code? Oh. What? Hey, my penal code is 69. 69. 69. Head to toe. Parallel play. It's next to two. Hey, you're going to have to cut. You're going to have to cut that and we'll have to use that as a soundtrack later. Yeah, that's going to have to be a drop. Mail for two with Harry View. Senior Video. Long instrumental and then they come in talking about how much they hate MTV. I wish more rock albums had instrumental tracks. I like when you're playing this album.
[97:30]I like the instrumental track. I enjoy the break. It's instrumental. I like jam bands. Yeah, I kind of enjoy it. Next up, Gary's got a boner. That's why they wrote that song. Then we have 16 Blue. This might be the best. Talking about Tommy Stinson. Yeah. Thinking about Tommy who's 16
[98:02]and like, I love you, kid. That's what I think it might feel like. I mean, Paul and Tommy had a very special bond, right? Tom and Paul became closer and that broke Bob's heart. Yeah. Man, Tommy Stinson's favorite favorite Rolling Stone song was Moonlight Mile. Isn't that your favorite Stone song? Yeah. That's top five for me. Great song. The better song on that album
[98:30]is Sway. And you know that, Aaron. It's true. It's true, Aaron. You know what? Aaron. It's true. I said it's true. I agree. Hey, why don't you put that when your pipe is smoking tomorrow with your coworkers. I'll tell them. I'll let them know. It's on my list of songs I like that we've done. Bryce is so happy. Bryce, we're here to serve. It's a good one. Now, I will say this. What was that?
[99:01]What was I going to say? Shit. No, I don't know. 16 Blue. 16 Blue. 16 Blue. Okay. How about how being a teenager? Not that fun. I mean, this is right after a song called Gary's Got a Boner. This is exactly what we're talking about. Yes. I think it's great. I love it. Yeah. It's kind of like it's kind of like Grapes of Wrath.
[99:30]You know what I mean? Like every other chapter is like, oh, here's a family going across the desert and here's a turtle. Like, that's what this album's like. You just go every other one. This album, though, you know what it's missing at the end? A wet nurse. When I found out I was reading a story that ended with a wet nurse in high school, I was like, oh, yeah. Oh, man. Things really do drag and drag when you're a teenager, man. Right? It's like every day because you're a teenager. Because you're a life you don't have that much experience in life. Every day is the hardest stage
