[10:06]people i can't remember how the rest of that fucking line goes let's talk about crosby seals and nash all right let's get into it crosby seals ampersand nash let's get into the voicemail hey i'm currently starting my second year at saint olaf the best college in the midwest
[10:32]and i was just wondering what is your favorite memory of saint olaf or what is a crazy story that happened while on campus oh we're doing the hard loft now on saying i was gonna say first off this is a sham call because they say olaf they don't call it olaf how was your time at saint olaf that's how i know people are just reading the shirt i'm wearing oh yes you went
[11:01]to saint olaf maybe someone ought to take up a minor in norwegian while they're there huh but we respect the callers okay we're trying to so what is your guys's craziest memory in college i mean the crazy one i mean i got a couple like when when russell and i were junior counselors uh also known as ras by a less offensive uh name the i think the kids at one one one night they soaked up the hallways right they they put down like so so explain so as a junior counselor you were in charge of a group of freshmen and you were juniors i mean charge is
[11:34]kind of a strong word but yeah basically it's a way to be like hey can we get these people to be ras without having to call them ras and then that's how they fill out their you know roster of ras but i do recall um some kids soaping and soaping down the linoleum floors in the hallway and then doing like a slip and slide in the hallway jesus christ um which feels unsafe and then of course the number one because my dad is listening and my dad now uh this gentleman who performed this trick is now a colleague of my dad's
[12:03]built a snow penis on the lawn oh yes on parents weekend yeah i can give that to you for the instagram oh yeah please it was a gigantic very anatomically snow but there might even been a vein on this thing it was a very anatomically correct snow penis right out on the lawn so those are two things that really jump out to me it was it was clipped rob just so you know it was uh well i it's like let's use kool-aid for the bright red tip and everybody's
[12:30]like what are you talking about oh my god and you're like let's let's put dry cement on it for the super gray balls everybody's like what are you talking about who is this guy but aaron what happened to that that erect snow penis well didn't uh public safety come and deal with it at one point yeah it was parents weekend so i think i think public safety came by and had to knock it down because it was parents weekend and somebody was like yeah well oh no we can't have the can't have the giant snow penis out there on the lawn what would be the best way to knock down a snow penis i would probably get one of those machines you know that grabs the
[13:02]trees and then like clamp onto it like try to lift it up and down to realize the clamp is a little too loose you'd have to tighten it up i think but it was definitely like russell and i definitely like any time there was a rule breaking going on we would try to find a way to not be around it was like oh someone's definitely uh drinking underage or building a snow penis let's find another place to study at this moment but you had to find a way to not be around it was like oh someone's going to bust people right like at some point you busted somebody for a dry can we never busted anybody no no it busted was like hey could you put that you were r.a. or you jc we were jcs yeah
[13:36]yeah i remember asking my jc finally like in may or maybe it was april something like that like hey can you go get us a case of beer and he's like finally somebody asked we've been waiting all year for somebody to ask it hell yeah i'll go get you one so it was awesome well russell couldn't even when we were jcs we were like oh my god we're gonna get you one so we're gonna get you one russell was not of age yet so russell would not have been able to go get a case of beer i don't think we ever did that we did a lot of looking the other way and just being like hey
[14:03]could you just play it cool for like a few hours so we can get out of here matt what's your craziest memory in college i mean there's there's just way too many with characters like you rob what one of them i'll get to uh um you know so the baseball team studied so hard conference title and we were center field and the cops came and running from the cops and only one person getting caught uh was that was pretty fun one time joe from woodbury you know i was in thorson and i think
[14:36]you guys were all in iterbo or something like that somehow whatever the thing was and he and he somehow snuck into like this pump house where there was this hose and so he called people over hey hey come on over we're hanging out over an interval or something all right sounds good so i and he knew it and he just started spraying it with the hose and there's there's just can you imagine too many to not name can you imagine right now as an adult
[15:04]if you got sprayed with a hose like what how mad you'd be just for you'd be like well now this is gonna be my first thought this is how fucking sad my life is my first thought would be like more laundry now i gotta do more laundry like just lame rob is lame now i would think i still send this person to the hague right rob absolutely i would be calling the cops i would be the one i'd be like and there's a keg down at centerfield i'm trying to get sleep here these guys are being so loud what's up man my still my favorite though and i think we've done
[15:33]maybe this is the third time we've said it but it never gets new listeners you know we got so many more listeners now we're gonna say it again so it was my freshman year your guy's sophomore year right and i was remember i was over at barry from burnsville's dorm and he's like hey you got to carry in the beer right so you've got his hockey bag carry it in so he did that it was like every weekend blah blah kind of a thing and then one weekend i forget pamela maybe it was her name she decided oh we're checking all the head of all bags so so i go over there i get it those guys
[16:05]are on the third floor so we got it so that they could carry it up they could get it up one case with a hockey bag and a hockey stick up to the third floor we're set there but all of a sudden one smart guy in that dorm decides he's gonna fuck with pamela right and so somebody brandt the story is is that rob loads up his bag with as much porn as he can find in the dorm and it was i
[16:35]have to tell you this is a large hockey bag and it was a lot of porn in there i don't know where it came from but it was just like like nasty stuff too and so rob rob's walking in and pamela's gonna check and he goes oh no i wouldn't do it i said please and i made it look really like really like i was really struggling with the bag i was like oh hey rob you need to open the bag i'm please i am begging you i am begging you do not open up this bag she's like i have to open up the bag i was
[17:03]like listen i want to be real with you right now i'm just saying don't open the bag so she opens the bag instantly sees naughty squirt seven or whatever right on the top we we put a dvd on top i'll never forget that of like i'm gonna throw a dvd on there too and she goes oh she closes it and then i remember i walked and i was like oh my god i'm gonna throw a dvd on there too and she goes oh to somebody's room and then i was like well i should have just turned around and walked out right but instead i like walked to somebody's room and then sat there with a bag full of porno
[17:32]me and some freshmen and i watched him play cs go on his computer this like shooting game and then i was like well see you later and so i took my bag of porn and just walked back like like the funniest part is me just walking out be like hey remember me the guy with the bag full of porn i was just in that guy's room for 20 minutes yeah i don't know what was in there for 20 minutes please i can't talk about i gotta go like it's no i'm naturally sweaty like of course she guys she thought we were having just a a line segment jerk that's like a circle
[18:03]jerk but there's just two of you looking at each other it is true though so college college is great right because everybody if you go you pick you're picking a school for the most part you're picking a school so you like it so usually it's kind of everybody kind of comes together at least they've got something in common right they want to go to small school yeah and then they're like and you kind of find your people and obviously none of the best stories are like oh that lecture by ab olsen was phenomenal right it's the time hanging out in the dorms or if you're on a team
[18:31]and things like that so i mean there's just so many to think of but it nothing it's nothing around the school it's about the people you meet there that are different than the people the greatest story i could tell about i think i had i'm still on a podcast with you guys because i went to say no laugh that's true off i i would say one of my favorite memories and one that always just stick with me is that we did have a girl once streak the football practice it was you know it was as streakers go it was pretty good times then the next year this uh same woman came back i should
[19:01]say woman i guess it came back well this point i have to say woman because at this point she had had breast augmentation surgery so this was like an incredible before and after journey like right and this time we were outside so instead of like sprinting through the area this person was on a bike going around a 400 meter track now this bike i'm telling you right now this was not what's the what's the bike racing with the guys with the big legs aaron they're on the tour de france now with the big legs like track racing
[19:30]track racing yeah this was not track racing this was a leisurely uh uh daisy daisy give my answer to uh would you like to see well no never mind uh and she's going very slow around so we just kind of stop and like i think maybe we cheer at the beginning but then like when she's at the 200 it's like okay and then she's kind of the 300 and then she's like okay and then she's like we're like okay she gets to the end i'll never forget you have to like get out of a gate so she has to kind of like take her bike get off the bike kind of maneuver it meanwhile the hockey team is coming in so she's like going past the hockey team nude with a bike yeah those kinds of things
[20:03]those didn't happen in the music building those sorts of things i didn't experience that one time at band camp aaron you don't know and aaron you don't know about if anybody like had sex in the rehearsal rooms did anybody have sex in those rehearsal closets no i thought it was a good question i thought it was a good question i thought it was a good question aware of no okay it was always like there were stories about maybe it happened but i i didn't know and no one ever told me that they had done it like i didn't know i didn't have first hand i didn't have carnal knowledge of such it reminds me of my dog uh when i put him on the scale heavy
[20:36]petting russell what were you gonna say yeah i've never wrestled yet i've got a bunch of them one of them was this was freshman year i believe aaron might have been there we had a group of guys that went out to the freeway and we're gonna try to take down a lot of people and we're gonna try to one of the uh exit 69 signs oh yeah way the fuck off the ground that's so high off the ground so high so we got like six to eight guys in like all black sweatshirts and everything we
[21:03]parked some cars down on a frontage road yeah yeah smart yeah go play in the freeway with black sweatshirts on yeah i think like i think maybe we had like a screwdriver like one basic tool amongst like eight guys and then we couldn't even get up to the sign the sign's like 10 feet off the road it was a fail correct yeah yeah absolute fail they don't make those signs easy to steal surprisingly you you would need a ladder and some real tools i can't believe that you guys
[21:34]aren't the first ones to think of stealing the x69 sign every year somebody's out there going like goddamn is i up there i can't believe it we might probably also the first ones i don't know maybe matt you were a coach down there maybe you had access to this at one point but there are tunnels at st. olaf that you don't have access to you don't have access to you don't have access to you but they're underneath all the dorms and the buildings we did the thing where we took the key one time opened the door and did like the walk through all the tunnels at night when you're definitely like you're not supposed to be in there but we went down to the by the pool and
[22:04]everything yeah you did you did that with gerber i was not around for that but definitely gerber was involved in that russell walks by a window and looks in and goes oh rob's having one of those line segment things again i also had one where i this is kind of my own stupidity i've got a couple of them is just aaron had the the really smelly roommate who cut the top off of his door like he cut the top third out of his door and this chicken wire he put chicken wire up there
[22:30]yeah and no one said anything his aaron's door just had like a hole with chicken wire in it for like four months yeah because it had a pile of laundry the size of two human beings it was like these were this room was what 11 by 8 or whatever the fuck and then there was a three by three pile of laundry dirty laundry on the floor because he had a pile of laundry on the floor and he had he would go home to minneapolis once a month and take his gigantic pile of laundry which was as big as him and that was just in there all the time you know now that you say that i do not recall doing
[23:01]laundry at saint olaf okay i do recall doing laundry at home so i'm starting to think if maybe i had a three by three i will admit to never washing my sheets though like i didn't know that you had to wash sheets like we're not that was the thing you had to do we're not going over this again we have talked about this even more disgusting though is your your pillowcase like imagine you just haven't washed your pillowcase you just lay down and you're like just just crashing every night like oh i'm not at the bar where people are smoking indoors and
[23:30]there's beer spilling on me like yeah i'm just gonna go right to bed crazy shower literally smoking indoors i remember in college i saw the first person smoke and i was like what i was like oh yeah that's right they could do that they're atd we're all atd we can all be smoking it's still terrifying to me i also remember freshman year i had a few times where i painted my face and either went to a football game i've told the story like a jv soccer game i've been like i probably went to like a jv soccer game i would paint like your face i went to like probably
[24:00]eight to ten sporting events like if i had a friend that was in a sport i was like i'm gonna paint my face and go cheer for him you know but this is the part where our listeners need to know that our colors were black and gold black and gold so normally i would be able to find a couple people to do it with me like i'd go i'd go into like you know when most people would into town to get face paint like you know that's instead of going to like get food in town like i would go buy face paint you know from kmart and come back and convince like three people hey paint
[24:32]your face with me and go to the game or whatever so one of these games i'm gonna go and one of the gentlemen who we've talked about before who wouldn't pass the basketball painted his face with me so many of us that are ready to go to one of these games all of a sudden um duty doesn't pass the basketball had this girl he liked and they wanted to she wanted to go on a walk oh he cleaned his face paint off and left me on my own so i went to a sporting event as the only guy with face paint on
[25:05]man face paint guy going down to a jv soccer game where there's like 13 people watching also but props to that guy because that man went on so many walks with that woman for all of undergrad the end and he stuck with it and didn't they eventually get married and the entire time she had another friend zone you say yes and all they did was go for walks for four years aren't they
[25:33]married now you know what i'm gonna say it right now not worth it okay not doing it right we all know how russell feels about those walks the final one that i remember is and this could be something you're telling me that you're going i just want to recall you're going to a sporting event with your face painted by yourself so just picture this everybody because this is the real thing like you you're thinking of russell at the sporting event no no no don't think about that think about russell when he first shows up two to two and a half minutes into the game everybody's
[26:04]there i'm also one of the only people on campus that will wear a baseball hat maybe one of like less than 10 so you see russell in the distance walking towards you but you're like wow that's strange what's going on he's got face paint on so do you immediately start you would have to start cheering in the distance right you have to be like yeah yeah they'd be like god damn that guy's a super fan but if you like show up you're like oh oh i mean you make eye contact with everybody it's humiliating and then or i picture
[26:31]two russell leaving with everybody else at the end of the game like hey that was fun wasn't it like looking around you get face paint on this would probably not shock you but i believe at one of those events the saints galastica goalie at a hockey game did shoot a puck up in our general would guarantee i was part of the problem up there and now if somebody said let's do this now you'd be like oh man i think i could do it let me check i got like one weekend a year where i could go do that like just okay although russell is wearing face paint right now so that one weekend
[27:01]will be in las vegas january 19th i got the email from matt i got the text though here's the dates for vegas and i was like hell yeah getting getting pumped again just totally destroyed i want you to go back and listen to our pink floyd episode we are destroyed we are closer to las vegas next year than we are las vegas last year right that is so oh that's so great go back and listen to what we're about to do to our bodies and we are thrilled to go do it again we should probably
[27:33]record early instead of late no we're gonna do one at the beginning and we're gonna do one at the end so you could hear the devastation i'm coming in on friday this year i'd like i i'm i'm doing friday to sunday this year i i cut it too short last year uh rosie rolling going how's it going with you uh it's as usual it's up and down um oh i gotta say it's like a yo-yo championship no all your ups and downs be in bed yeah yeah i like that um now i had this discussion with
[28:03]anna earlier today because i said this and then she said that it's uh it's recency bias but this is the best stone fruit season of my life you guys the stone fruit this year i hey russell russell what was your best stone fruit season you know back in 88 i mean you know what's really fucked up about this this is what's
[28:30]so fucked up is that aaron said this is my favorite stone fruit season i just went yeah i bet it was a good season i knew what he was talking about i didn't think it was weird that's what's wrong with us is that it has worked my brain where aaron can say about stone fruit it's normal to me it should never be normal to me we know each other too well yeah i've been going every as many tuesdays as i can i run up to berkeley and i i go straight to the peach jamboree stand i don't mess around with kashiwase farms or frog hollow or any of those blossom bluff
[29:01]none of them they don't have they're not the same as the peach jamboree and get the fuck out of here okay peaches more like leeches because you suck and i'm gonna edit out that pause that i had that long pause that's gone it's gonna sound like a long pause and i'm gonna edit out that pause and this week was the last the last week so pour out a little liquor for the best uh stone fruit season of my life uh but one of the things that enables me to uh make these peach runs on a tuesday afternoon at 2 p.m is that my work cell phone always works and my work cell phone went out
[29:31]today that i don't know what's going on i've been calling i was calling it frantically trying to figure out how i could get my work cell phone to work something happened where my work cell phone was in ss mode i was very concerned that i was not gonna be able to make it to the store the farmer's market this was a stressful situation eric you can't use the what's the hidden mode on the cell phones rob that stuff's still gonna come back and give you problems on that work phone the hidden phone i i mean what are you talking about incognito or if it's safari it's called private i don't know what you're talking about you can't use that incognito mode
[30:02]on that work phone eric i just need to be able to like hit like on a message if something comes through while i'm at the farmer's market that's all i'm gonna be able to do but i finally once i like i got there and i realized that i could hot spot my personal phone to my work phone and then it was okay but it was a real like it was a real dicey situation there for a minute but i made it through that is so funny that you're like oh oh my god work is going crazy my phone doesn't work oh my god how am i gonna get to the farmer's market don't they know this has been the best season of my life it's the best
[30:34]season since 1988 i gotta get i gotta get there that's piece of my life if they would have caught you not doing the work you were supposed to be doing that would have been the real pits wouldn't it we would have been the pits what are what are the stone fruits because i i know peaches obviously but like they're cherries is it yeah cherries um we don't get a lot of yeah yeah it's the ones with the pit we don't actually get very long here uh that's a hot rob that's a great call
[31:02]i don't know if an avocado is a strong it must be a stone fruit yeah i don't care don't take me saying a joke for thinking that i care now what's going on right now is like we've had a house when avocados in addition to the house so it's nice to have some variety um yeah peaches nectarines cherries plums you know apricots russell if i showed you if i showed you something and i said this is a nectarine how sure how positive would you because i think i would be like
[31:32]i i think if it was like the size of like a small orange i would be like that might be a nectarine i'm not sure do you know what a nectarine looks like russ i i it's probably like an orange and a peach had a had a weekend romp i would think wow it's just a peach without fuzz that's all a nectarine just a peach basically you know what that happened in the 90s so that's it for me i had a nice day today i made it to the stone fruit uh collection
[32:05]and it's the end of the stone fruit season so you know time marches and as i said we're that much closer to las vegas russell how's it rolling going with russell we're only going things are going good i actually took a flight a week ago and i thought i could share an experience that i had on the flight and see if you guys have had this before it's time for beck did it better plain old story time all right all right tell us about the trip you're on we're gonna hear about your flight tonight oh yeah oh yeah
[32:43]i found out you went to mexico russell i'm gonna be so mad and i'm one step ahead of you oh no whoa oh wait a minute now so i go on this flight i'm flying to salt lake city flying to salt lake city and i'm like oh perfect time i'm on a delta flight they're gonna have tv screens it's good i
[33:02]get on the flight sitting there i start kind of you know going through the movies because that's the best part is seeing what they have right and finding like what's the right movie are you going for action are you going something where um thomas jane goes to sleep after running with the bees you got to figure out what what you're in the mood for right so i go through and i start picking i go fargo i'm like oh i'm gonna get these guys the sex scene with uh steve buscemi on the flight right
[33:30]wait so you're just looking around to see who's looking over your shoulder like you're trying to catch somebody watching the scene over your shoulder so i go to start the movie and nothing's really happening it's not coming up just a dark screen i figure oh maybe something's going on maybe once we get up in the air everything will go keep trying to start movie not working no try to start a few other movies nothing's working so i'm sitting back there it turns out nothing is working on anyone's screen and i see two people watching something they were both watching the movie big
[34:04]george foreman the only movie on the whole flight that would work was big george foreman no one else's screen work now russell yeah were there any sex scenes in big george foreman because if you could pull a screenshot of those that's so good right did you watch big george foreman i did i watched you have george foreman you're trapped yeah what am i supposed to do have you guys ever had it where the screens don't work for you or not immense power oh when when i get on a
[34:31]plane it's been there's been there was once where it was a couple planes in a row i would sit in the middle and everyone's tv would work the girls on either side my kids their tv would work mine wouldn't and i was like what the fuck and then the second night may happen i was like oh you gotta be kidding me but i sat next to somebody on a flight once who uh said something to this the uh attendant and they said oh well if you lodge a complaint with delta you get uh miles for it they'll give you bonus miles and i was like there you go i was like oh i'll never do that that's a great idea i
[35:02]will never do that in my life i can promise you right now i will not pick up a phone oh how many miles i get 500 i don't even know what that means okay i don't have time for this i will complain about it and then i will not think about it for the rest of my life unless i have a podcast where we talk about planes more than most who plays george foreman in that movie is it like a biopic yeah i don't know who plays him though i don't i mean george harman like one of the great character arcs in american sports this man was an absolute murderer everyone was terrified of him
[35:33]he was so scary and then lost to ali you know that was a down point in his career obviously after zaire comes back eventually becomes this lovable like we only knew him as the lovable grill guy right the super friendly guy like this guy like all of america was scared of him in 1974 he's so fucking powerful and then what happens after the grill he becomes the fucking heavyweight champion again he literally becomes a heavyweight champion again like dad mode i remember seeing that i was
[36:02]like well this guy looks very old totally just helped all of us with that kind of body look right right i think i think don't all guys though don't they all think like you know i could have been a pro athlete if i just would have been a little a little more serious about it you know like just a little bit more practice i think everybody'd be like i bet if i just found the right sport for me i could have done yeah yeah yeah i think everybody thinks that like oh i fucked around too much making too many small penises the other thing i was going to share this information i don't know if we knew we've ever talked about this before do you guys know who was originally going to be the spokesperson for the foreman grill
[36:35]no i don't know who's going to be the spokesman brother hulk hogan was originally going to be the one who's going to be the hulk hogan grill that would be crazy because if it was named the foreman grill and hulk hogan was selling it that wouldn't make any sense whatsoever also though the thing is too is that hulk it'd be tough because hulk hogan would try to show you how to make a hot dog when his skin already looks
[37:00]exactly like a hot dog it'd be confusing because it'd be holding it'd be like a green screen you'd be holding a hot dog it would just blend in with the hot dog it would just blend in with the hot dog he's like he's got six fingers so it would it would look just like it oh some doll hair fell in a hot dog oh wait no that's hulk hogan oh like what is this guy oh by the way he's like the biggest wrestler most like masculine thing ever and if you actually look at him almost nothing on him is normal whatsoever like if you saw a guy that looked like that on the train you would go into another car sorry so one of the other things once i got back from my flight with with with the
[37:33]tv screen you know i took your guys advice you guys were saying i'm being too harsh i'm telling i'm telling the the landlord here that they got to turn their tv off when i come back so tonight i tried watching whatever the landlord had on i was like okay i'm gonna i'll watch what you have on guys want to guess what i watched tonight walking dead uh i'm i'm gonna say was it the bachelor the old bachelor dance moms a music theme show it was the mass singer i watched the bass singer for the first time ever tonight do
[38:03]you guys ever watch that uh i have never watched the bass singer i've never watched the bass singer watch that russell i my kids got it yeah yeah the hosts are let's see if you guys um i believe it's nicole scherzinger she used to be in the pussycat dolls is that right what yep um the guy on american idol too the naked guy from the hangover i don't know his name you uh uh ken john ken john oh ken john right robin thick blurred lines robin oh wow robert is that a career
[38:31]still is that guy yeah i thought he was kind of canceled that for a lot of stuff obviously not on fox or whatever channel was ever canceled and then the last one is jenny mccarthy whoa oh gee nice obviously yeah so you have an anti-vaxxer and you can eventually end up on a game show i wonder if is that the anti-vaxxer that i've jacked off to the most it's so hard to think you know what i mean who's in rob's anti-vaxxer
[39:02]what's the top three what are we debating jenny mccarthy obviously yes uh i feel like who else would have been anti-vac cousins i guess kirk cousins isn't there yeah it's a good game at least once by accident that bill's come back and that colt's come back rob that was a good one i gotta admit it was another anti-vaxxer god i wish i was funny i wish i could think of one right now probably aaron oh right so one other thing i got to mention is we still have to move forward with the with the tournament the
[39:35]we've not we've not revisited for a while russell you know what i would say if i was on the mask by the way the mass singer the mass singer smoking makes sense guys that's the jim carrey mask wasn't he married to jenny mccarthy okay aaron i think so you can do the theme you can do what's the thing he says in the rocky dennis mask what's his saying they just the rocky dennis mask he says something doesn't
[40:03]say something somebody stop me somebody stop me you guys don't know what i'm talking about with mask with rocky dennis do you want me to look at you watch a lot of weird movies mask no no no this is look at this guys i'm not a man i'm a monster guys you don't remember this show remember this show the movie i didn't see the movie though i love it well what was this thing he always said aaron i was trying to get aaron to do an impression of this guy i don't know i'm so funny i'm not i'm not familiar
[40:34]oh no now i see there's a real rocky dennis that is such a stupid bridge it's there all right let's do this dvd tournament all right we'll just go through we'll see how far we want to get on this one so we're in the next round i think we're in the round of the sweet 16 here all right sounds good we're gonna do comedies we've got two comedy matchups tonight the first one is the 16 seed which is advanced again we have what about bob oh what about bob okay this
[41:01]is the four seed dumb and dumber oh wow i mean come on i i mean it's dumb and dumber it's not even close right like i wanted to go what about bob just to mess with the seating but i i gotta but you can't ever i got no you know you can't it's gotta be dumb and dumber matt no question i'm yeah i mean yeah i'm i'm disappointed that we can't upset because i don't know how what about bob was rated 16th but it was rated 16 so it was fine so but the four seed dumb and
[41:30]dumber has to go on yeah it has to so a 3-0 vote that's gonna advance the next matchup in the sweet 16 in this region is the combo pack uncle buck and the great outdoors versus wayne's world wayne's world the combo pack i'll let i'll let rob i gotta go combo pack i gotta go with my heart it's holding off that's hard i mean guys he's flipping a pancake with a shovel yeah but we all wanted to try
[42:00]all right we're gonna do one more quick and there's trouble there's trouble russ what do you do let go all right we're gonna do one more round here we're gonna do the the sweet 16 the other region this would be the action movies we're gonna get through the action as well all right first matchup is another 16 or no wait this is the eight seed it actually knocked out a 16 wow it is karate kid the combo pack one two and three
[42:30]oh and three versus fight club his name is robert paulson i like that i'm gonna go fight get matched up matt's going to fight i'm gonna go fight club i gotta go fight club but only because again the skeletons and karate kids scared the shit out of me those kids dressed as skeletons chasing him that was so scary so forget about it and then the last matchup we'll discuss today in the sweet 16 in the action region is enter the dragon versus kill bill
[43:00]wait is it a combo pack or just kill bill one i think it's just kill bill one i own both of those there but they are not in a combo pack so only one dvd got entered because then it's not the it's not the superman monologue then you don't get that not not superman don't get the superman man monologue i've just killed the i'm still going to kill bill though yeah aaron wood there's a lot of feet in that movie i will go kill bill as well because it's an homage to enter the dragon anyway
[43:30]you can just watch it all right oh yeah what do you say man yeah i'll go enter the dragon but it doesn't matter have you watched enter the dragon recently no i've not watched kill it's a rough one bruce lee is talking about like putting like microphones places and you're like i just want to see you kick somebody in the face what the fuck are we doing walking around this thing it's terrible all right that that's the end of the tournament for the night we'll get to the next two regions next week but russell that was a wonderful tournament i would say that was a top
[44:00]10 tournament easily that we've done so far but i gotta say i have the results from the last audience poll okay so i want to i want to tell everybody what happened we had donnie brosco versus the godfather oh this is sick this show is stupid guys i have to say it i've been thinking for a long time and i'm gonna say this is a dumb show we do dumb things we are done we we have to be dumb guys it's okay but donnie brosco is zero percent of the godfather 100 was it one nothing yeah good
[44:30]goodwill hunting versus fargo goodwill hunting 68 percent that advanced that that was a 30 for how the hell do we it was 68 percent i guess if it was good guys we have lots of instagram okay are we're blowing up online okay i'm harassing a lot of people on twitter uh with uh goodfellas or the usual suspects goodfellas 74 percent okay so it was a three order guys no question the departed and the closest one we've ever had the departed versus a few good men few good men 53 percent 53 percent so we actually have quite a few losers have voted in this just
[45:06]to let you know unfortunately though you guys gave departed a two to one win so i think the departed still advances all right sounds good russell hates the fans matt roland going how's it going with you i got this or more good fans cleaning out to my list here and the one thing i've got is we've had you know we started school we started a new school we now are a private school oh living the dream good luck i they have like these parent night things right where you go and
[45:35]people from the school talk and everything and it's just it's always the worst but you got to do it you get whatever and stuff but i have found that these can be very very beneficial if you just play your cards right yeah and how you're doing it so what you do is you you need to bring a little notepad and you have two categories well three really you have two categories you have the the parents that ask way too many questions yeah write all their names
[46:04]because you don't want to be friends with them gunners the gunners is that what you call anyone who anyone whose hand always goes up you call them a gunner the gunner yeah the gunners stay away from them and then there just happened to be a guy who had a littler kid there with him and the kid was crying a little bit right yeah and so everybody's been there we all have kids here everybody's been there they've been through this nobody wants to have a crying baby all this stuff there was at least two moms that had the most disgusted look on their face that this guy
[46:35]was staying in there with it so again you just be observing you're not listening to what's going on with the program yeah you just have to look at your surroundings i like it you can quickly figure out which of the parents you don't want to ever hang out with so i like it that was my rolling going probably work at a private school yeah yeah it's a hey can i just tell you if i can think of a song for those parent nights it would be please don't go please don't go we
[47:01]don't nobody needs to go let's just all agree hey guess what parents and teachers we don't need to meet there's no reason to okay we both are dealing with the same kid all right that's the way it is no reason to interact everything's going to be fine leave the teachers alone you could always unionize then you wouldn't have to do those sorts of things oh yeah that would be great except for i'm getting paid quite a bit right now okay i'm actually making quite a bit more money trust me i guilty i've been in a union when i'm teaching it it racks me with guilt believe it or not if
[47:30]if they unionize rob would also keep his job if they found out about this podcast right hey we should start a union oh yeah that'd be great that'd be great hey one of the rules should be like we have a secret podcast and maybe we talk about jacking off on it a lot like i think that should be fine and they're like who said that that's a real thing to be writing in so collectively bargain protection what's this part here weirdly specific but okay yeah no it would be that would be a great move on
[48:05]my part i'd be like hey guys they you know what they want to bust people for a podcast we should go on strike and they're like what are you talking about so that's my rolling going you can learn a few things rob rolling going how's it going with you i'm a hero okay i'm just gonna say that right now i'm a hero my kid the other day comes up to me before the first day of high school she's going
[48:30]to a new high school a high school so it's not like one of these things are the middle school files into the high school they're all these different high schools she doesn't know anybody there she comes up to me she goes dad i listen i i'm gonna use my backpack my old backpack from last year she's like uh uh the dog peed on it i washed it but it still smells a little like dog pee if you do get too close you gotta throw that shit away and i said oh what the fuck are you doing what i said you're gonna go
[49:00]to school with a dog pee backpack she goes yeah this is how i know she's my kid she goes yeah i don't think it's a big deal no and i was like you cannot do that i said dog piss girl that's what they're gonna call you i already came up with a nickname you're dog piss and you'll be dog piss from now and you'll be dog piss girl to the 20th reunion you'll be dog piss girl you cannot go to high school with a bag that smells like dog piss and then she comes out with a perfect bag of dog piss a good bag and goes i have this one but it's i thought it was a little too small it's like a gorgeous real problem is i don't think people that are not in the know can differentiate between what
[49:33]type of piss it is either right no it just smells like piss right they might yeah she might just be piss girl my name is then dog piss that would be the thing is that i'd be in the crowd be like hey dog piss girl then like this better bully would turn to me and be like how do you know it's dog piss you must love dog piss you're dog piss boy and i'm like no this totally backfired on me that's the guy who fought for podcast protection and i heard an episode he was talking about dog piss is after a super short intro song
[50:04]i love the songs i've just never got a chance to tell him and i probably should okay because maybe he's thinking it's not worth the time less episodes more pay it's time for nobody's favorite part of the show less episodes more pay oh yeah listen we are talking about we are talking about some music podcast rosie oh hey let's talk about some music that's what i'm here we're talking about sydney crosby malcolm and i'm trying to name one other pittsburgh penguin
[50:34]that played with sydney crosby yarmir he had to be there at the time uh we were talking about crosby stills and nash okay no no young and they're not yet uh and this was the debut album of these guys and in fact it was the only album they recorded without neil young now wikipedia refers to these guys as a super group they're not a super group right that's horseshit well they are i think they're always referred to and then because then there's buffalo springfield too right and then there's csnny birds and yeah
[51:04]yeah but they were like they weren't individuals coming together super group the true super group of course is uh traveling wheelbarrows traveling wheelbarrows where you had actual you're not just members of the band of a band coming together like true like the musicians the the soloists coming together to make a super group that's a super group it's not it's not a it's not a band that plays together for years usually usually it's just like two very successful and it's not even individuals because you've got like audio slave right who's
[51:35]i mean who's the other what was uh guns and roses velvet revolve with scott wyland velvet you know you've got some of these super i would still consider them super groups i read a newspaper review once that their concert sucked okay it wasn't very good how's that that show there's that new super group that's putting out the new podcast russ aaron and john for me dinah get it ampersand john for me dinah uh this is the only uh this is they kind
[52:04]of got big by really this was the movement in uh what was the 69 nice where it was like blending together folk and rock instead of like hard like like blues type rock uh the main person that we're looking in this is uh stills who's the main guy he's playing the guitar on a lot of these he plays the bass he plays uh the organ he plays lead guitar in every song and then you've got
[52:31]david crosby who's got a lot of the social commentary stuff and you've got graham nash who's able to make some of these melodies that sound so good and basically these guys came out at woodstock at 3 a.m they came out at 3 a.m and they played sweet judy blue eyes second time in public that's crazy this is the second time they ever played that in public was at woodstock that's the hardest thing about listening to these guys is you cannot understand the the time we can't understand we can't put ourselves in that
[53:00]place no matter how hard we try no matter how many times you watch the woodstock dvd you can't understand what it was to be on the you know post summer of love i don't know if this is post altamont or not but they're keeping the summer of love thing going but also talking about what's going on in the world we can't understand how that time was for the for people who were hearing this well unless now wait a minute do you guys see that there's a bunch of smoke there's a shiny object of some rivets let's get
[53:31]inside okay all of us all four of us are we all inside let's do it russell i can't hear you are you inside this time machine russell we're doing a little skit what are we doing oh my god we're doing a skit you're in a time machine there's smoke and rivets there i was just talking about that there's smoke rivets we go back we open the door sorry bat i don't know how you stay up with this we come out that's about gets away with this and we see a guy and he's holding war is bad the war is bad sign he's got a war is bad sign he's holding it
[54:01]and i say sir what what year is it he says it's 1969 i say nice get back in the time machine we go back to now okay worth it uh here and i agree with you no no no but so they blow up and all of a sudden it leads you can point this directly to what people call the california sound right this laurel canyon sound this is the california sound we were talking the eagles we're talking jackson brown we're talking fleetwood mac okay and these guys you know i love talking about those grammy's
[54:34]won best new grammy let's get into crosby stills and nash uh here's sweet judy blue eyes i mean just the opener to this i mean this song is it's everything it's so good it sounds so much like johnny mitchell too gram nash was dating johnny mitchell at the time okay there we go can we clarify which is the one
[55:02]with the outstanding mustache david crosby who is the father of melissa etheridge's girl all right oh yeah he didn't just come to her window he can't all right this got all the way up to 21 on the charts and basically the song is broken up uh like a suite right like a classical suite okay not that kind of sweet russell it's a classical suite okay if you listen to the second the second part of the suite they slowed down to half time so
[55:35]they kind of watch listen this album is mixed so well i love the hard pans left and right the bass is so nice so nice and that's gram and that's more gram nash it's definitely a more exciting experience with super nice headphones rob i don't know if you were wearing your six hundred dollar ones with this one but the back nice headphones is great i gotta tell you
[56:03]those headphones the day i i had to wash them the other day like i literally had to take off the things and because they felt like dog piss because when i took off dog piss headphones guy how would this hey how would russ know what dog piss smells like that guy loves dog piss russ has known a dog his entire life i took it off and i took it off my head and i go oh that smells and i walk around for a while with my headphones like on the counter and i go wait a minute it still smells and i'm like i'm turning my
[56:31]nose quick because it's on my ears of course i did turn my nose i'm like oh wait a minute wait a minute wait a minute that smell is me i was like i cannot be smelly from my headphones at 43 like if you worked with a guy who had smelly ears smelly head you're talking about that on your podcast right you have to be hey don't tell the guys at work but i'm like oh my god i'm like oh my god i got a podcast hey don't you think we should all be able to have a podcast okay let's rise up uh the third part is a part i didn't take notes on so let's listen to it but this is just the first part again it's just a bridge from the first part i mean like the sweet
[57:08]concept kind of falls apart to me here don't don't feel me mad and then finally it's just a long song aaron disagreed with me my knowledge that i obviously have not copied and pasted knowledge it's called sweet i get it i just i kind of aaron knows i copy and pasted it because there's a semicolon one of my notes he's like wait a minute rob doesn't know what the fuck a semicolon is for uh here's the final stanza he made it confusing and fast just so people
[57:33]wouldn't be able to understand what he's doing oh but he also wrote no words he's just like oh let's just have some fun the voices sound so good i gotta tell you guys i texted you so i know you guys have already watched this because you definitely need to watch every video i text out uh but his there is a recording of the demo that steven stills did this is just steven stills on guitar by himself one one track one thing it's unbelievable how much i thought it was like tons
[58:04]of guitars it's just him so so good go check that out now i didn't know the word was fun oh i'm no fun oh there's a lot of words i miss on the good like the harmonies are cool but i miss a lot of words because they're buried in the harmonies oh totally there's a lot of words like when i was doing the karaoke part to the uh parody song i was like reading it and i was like this song is so depressing you know what it is is that song was written by uh graham nash when he
[58:35]was he was dating judy collins right the actress she was leaving him for stacy keach because they were doing a shakespeare play together and he knows that she's out of there he knows that she's leaving so he writes that song and he goes and writes that song and he writes that song and he plays it for her and she goes wow that's one of the most beautiful songs i've ever heard and we're not getting back together you can just imagine be like fuck you can reuse that with another another
[59:00]lady right seriously how many times when people said i wrote this song for you do you think it was repurposed 50 oh oh yeah there's no way those are all originals right oh your your name is your name is uh your name is julia yeah i think i'm gonna call you julie sweet julie blue eyes he's like yo julia okay oh wait wait a minute now i'm dating a ruby hey that works it fits right in
[59:31]roberta no thanks uh if you want to feel good now iggy pop said that this is one of the worst fucking songs ever written okay his quote what i'm with iggy on this one what marrakesh this is so sorry i'm sorry i don't i don't i'm sorry i don't want to get your gums this is fun it sounds like it sounds like it should be on like a kid show i know it's fun
[60:03]i was gonna say the bunkies bad or maybe like a ringo song some of the some of those songs had a little bit of that childish feel didn't they yeah this is what i think of monsters and men would sound like back in the 70s oh right this would be this would be a hard song to have sex to though i gotta say that let's all try it let's all just give it a try okay okay as rob likes to say i mean i'm not
[60:33]trying to diss your band up it doesn't it kind of sound like a monster am i thinking am i sound like what am i being insulting oh they might be giants yeah they might be giants i'm sorry oh i was like what the fuck is this guy talking about yeah oh 100 which is i think why i love it so much so good it'd be so funny be like hey are we going to sleep tonight are we going to sleep sleep tonight hey alexa turn on marrakesh express i'm telling you hey don't don't ask any questions
[61:06]but i gotta put on this super expensive super long condom but don't ask any questions about why next week everybody reports back how did it go with marrakesh express east coast meets west coast
[61:30]am i danger mouse doing mashups i'm gonna think about this is it this podcast is very dumb first crosby stills and nash and uh biggie smalls mashup that there's ever been first ever here's the deal okay guys just like i you know this song one of your i've read the guinness book of the guinevere book of world records it's probably for those two fat guys on the motorcycles guys come on those are funny right that was a stretch yeah i don't get it what was their record
[62:06]by the way i don't know probably something that does not hold up in today's society right baddest guys like what was it i'm gonna give away my my last take but like how do these guys compare to simon and garfunkel and how do they differ how are they the same well there's three of them did you think garfunkel was two guys yeah i did i thought garfunkel was two guys like how would you decide between this album and a simon and garfunkel album in terms of like ranking the
[62:32]albums interesting i think simon and garfunkel are much stronger songwriters yeah by a by a ton but we haven't heard them yet right but i think i think what you listen to this too is i think a lot of this is the guitar work i love the guitar work on this album i think it's i mean i like so good agree i like the second half of the album when it's like a little bit bluesier i love the bass work but yeah these this stretch here two three four is like man i can't really this one of your song i was kind of i don't know the way i was thinking about it is it felt very precious to
[63:00]me it felt like overly precious and delicate yeah yeah i don't know i just i had a hard time connecting with at the beginning half of this album yeah here's the here's the twins on the motorcycle do you guys not know what this picture is am i the only guy who read the guinness book world records like at night and you know what i'm realizing now i read the guinness book world records like as a book at night i'm picturing my dad coming in with like a sandwich and be like oh my son i love him he worked so hard at school he's so smart ah what a young boy he's reading in bed what a what a young fine fellow what a good academic student what's he reading ah the guinness
[63:34]book of world records ah my son's a fucking moron okay sounds good that disco ball hey dad look at these fat guys on motorcycles they got world record for fattest guys on motorcycles i mean what's a record even does he make sense they seem proud of the record though they do they've been in every one of the pictures it's like you know it's it's like pat bev celebrating the play in championship like you celebrate everything man let me get this straight because i had a robocop incident last week where you guys i talked about robocop a lot and you had
[64:02]nobody had watched robocop correct so if i tell you just long fingernails woman do you know what i'm talking about yeah oh yeah okay okay so we're kind of you guys are kind of guinness heads too you know what you're talking about you don't have to cry okay now i gotta admit i love sweet judy blue eyes after a little bit some of these songs you're like hey which song is this you'd be like i'm not right is it like are we still on sweet judy blue
[64:30]like if you leave the room and come back you don't know for sure if you've left the first track or not man you're a neil young guy do they sound a lot different when they add neil young after this or not they do to me it feels this feels extremely folky yeah and i always feel like neil young adds just a little bit more it's not quite rock and roll but just he has a little more well listen listen to this i was listening to today russell i thought that very thing this is with this is with neil young yeah there he goes that's him on guitar right yeah yeah but the whole thing is just it's a much more
[65:04]it's a harder kind of harder edge less less folk this is a uh joni mitchell song it isn't really oh yeah she does a great woodstock maybe she wrote it i love that song uh all right free road downs guys you know why that guitar sounds so funky it's backwards it's a backwards backwards yeah they recorded the guitar and they played it
[65:36]backwards now i did not get that fact anywhere but i know it's true in my head i know that's backwards guitar guaranteed i've listened to more backwards music than you guys probably have probably hey i don't know where it is hold on a sec rob i don't i don't know where it is in that song but there's some backup singers on this one oh and it's uh somebody by the name of mama cast
[66:01]do you guys know who mama cast is yeah from the mommas and the papas yeah so mama cast is on that track is on that track as a backup vocalist yeah man she's an institution in and of herself you know what she's a pretty good singer she's a pretty good singer but uh i thought well how can we come up with some sort of list about mama cast because i think she's somebody we haven't talked about i think she's lived a pretty interesting life yeah and so i'm googling her and she died
[66:31]at the age of 32 and so i started to look up i didn't even have her at the bar 27 that's russell's next stop but there is a 32 club as well and they're very very tightly connected and so i thought it's a little bit of a rob list it's a very much of a tangent of a list but i like i thought you know what the heck i think this is a pretty good list let's do the count you know sometimes man sometimes man list start has one thing and then as you go you find there's not
[67:03]much there on the bone so you have to spread out a little bit sometimes that happens on this too so i i gave you a few clips that you can just keep playing while i talk about this but mom i do you know the first one we'll have was just mama cast so cast elliot professionally known as mama cast and later as cast elliot was an american singer and voice actress she was a member of the singing group of mamas and the papas after the group broke up elliot released five solo albums she did she got that he was over 300 pounds and was starting to go to vegas right she was going
[67:35]to do a vegas show and they wanted her to lose a bunch of weight so she went on the six-month crash diet lost 100 pounds was like barely able to walk up on the stage and quickly gain it all back so it started this huge cycle of drugs and alcohol with her and she had just finished two weeks of a solo concert london when she decided to celebrate she went on a 24-hour bender and so she went to the birthday party of the 31st birthday party of mick jagger and then
[68:00]hung out with somebody named georgia brown and then finally went back to her room and then just didn't wake up so she was renting a room from uh guy on this album is it harry nielsen who's the guy who wrote shucks give me the guy from jefferson airplane um man listen to that voice and that was her with john denver on i'm living on a jet plane oh yeah yep yeah wow i didn't know that
[68:30]and no i wasn't gonna do it aaron you think i'm gonna make a john denver joke there and especially with the song leaving on a jet plane i you know okay if only you had sung the song leaving on an experimental plane you would have maybe known that it's not good i'll say i'm not gonna do that rob is i bet our phone book is about to add about four or five people here after matt's list oh all right let's go to the next one so the next member of the 32 club
[69:00]uh we're playing here we're playing keith moon the drummer oh everybody he was an englishman he was a drummer in the rock band noted for his unique style of playing in his eccentric often self-destructive behavior if you watch videos of keith he is a nut job and he's awesome as crap but he is like certifiably crazy it looks like when he's playing the drums but he uh like most got hooked on drugs and alcohol and
[69:30]he uh i'm gonna find the right story here this is pretty very good he went back to his flat after hanging out with paul linda mccartney uh took some clomethosolol tablets checked himself uh when his when his uh manager came to check him the next day he had passed away funny thing about keith moon dying is he died in the exact same apartment as mama cass four years later wow no what this is i think it's harry nielsen or
[70:02]harry nielsen yep no uh owned this flat in london and they decided you know he rented it out so mama casa he didn't want to he didn't want to rent it to keith moon because he thought it was jinxed and he said oh screw that so he stayed there he was there for about six months and passed away four years after you guys remember we did celebrate keith moon on the who episodes we did the best drum fills of all time remember some of those we had bill collins in the air jimmy hendrix we had mitch was it mitch mitchell mitch more mitch
[70:30]yeah mitch mitchell mitch mitchell on little wing we had the muppets theme with animal we had rush tom sawyer we had led zeppelin whole lot of love jesus you need some drum fills there you go that's a list that's a great one russell can you i just can't imagine going on a bender that's only 24 hours you know what i mean like at that point like you start at like 10 p.m you get to 10 p.m the next day you gotta keep it going right like i would say a 36 hour bender bender is probably for me that's what i said the right amount of time yeah probably
[71:04]you the list another drummer from across the pond john bonham there we go all right my favorite died at 32 might be the best drummer of all time according to some usually towards the top john bonham was an english musician who was the drummer of the rock band led zeppelin he's noted for his speed power fast single-footed kick drumming distinctive sound
[71:30]and feel for groove he's regarded as one of the greatest most influential drummers in music history had a huge drinking problem huge uh hello never mind but he lived as long as he did like he's right he lived longer than you would even expect the way he lives so bonham was picked up uh by his assistant at the end of rehearsal studios for a tour they were about to do in the united states uh this was 1980 1980 and you know the band's first tour is 1977 mainly because he was so drunk all the
[72:06]time during the journey bottom asked to stop for breakfast where he drank four quadruple vodka screwdrivers and 16 shots he then continued to drink heavily after arriving at rehearsal the band stopped rehearsing late in the evening and then went to page's house the old middle house in windsor after midnight on the 25th september bonham fell asleep someone took him to bed placed him on his side led zeppelin tour manager benji la fever found him unresponsive the next afternoon
[72:33]bomb was later pronounced dead at 32. conquest showed that in the 24 hours bonham had consumed 40 shots of alcohol a 40 proof abv vodka 40 shots and then vomited and choked he had the bacardi 161 i heard that stuff was really strong 161 i'll tell you what i don't think i could drink four mimosas worth of orange juice right now like i i would drink a bunch of oranges i'd be like oh my god i bought a bender this is so bad leave me on my side give me the bed the final one on the because this is such an uplifting of course wonderful
[73:06]you know is the maybe some consider maybe the best american drummer of all time karen carpenter a vocalist and drummer from the carpenters yeah uh she was american singer drummer formed half of the highly successful duo the carpenters with her older brother richard i mean the youtube videos of her drumming and singing at the same time yeah mind-blowing this is she's on the all-american college show she's 18 where she's you know what you can hear
[73:35]it's not very good audio but like watch you can watch the youtube video of her she's 18 and she's going bonkers yeah extreme she's just amazing i believe we talked about her briefly yet but we might have done the best female drummers and it might have been on velvet underground remember we talked best female drummers from that i think it was 100 percent yeah that up before because one of the carpenter began santana
[74:00]that's right there i saw her yeah that's that's cindy black that's why i went to her in concert this show this show karen uh carpenter died she she had a long battle with eating disorder and finally it caught up with her with the amount of drugs she was taking to kind of counteract a lot of stuff but you know since she was a young kid had an eating pro or young teenager had eating problems that kind of so that's the list that's the 32 club i just thought the number of drummers was keith maroon john bonham and karen carpenter
[74:34]that all died at 32 drummers too right that's pretty wild great list it's it's kind of sad when you hear that song about the little drummer boy and you know what he's going to grow up to be you know what i mean like but if you listen to the david bowie ben crosby version and like it's pretty cool except for like the ben crosby stuff that's like maybe not so great either yeah well i was aaron you're such a bummer uh i was gonna say oh i think um if you knew
[75:04]that little drummer boy was going to end up dying choking on his own vomit that song takes a whole different meaning and then to that i would say this is a better way to word that joke not loving it uh he's got he's got to stay away from mushing up all those christmas cookies and eating them like powder right oh track six here we go still wooden ships i loved this song
[75:34]they finally gave writing credit eventually to paul kantner of jefferson airplane it feels like we're getting a little more a little more tempo a little more i don't know if there's an organ in some of these in the back half there is yeah it's it's it's kind of a little more groovy sounds good uh lady of the island no stephen stills on this one this was written by graham nash
[76:04]who was dating joni mitchell at the time you can definitely hear it sounds a little joni mitchell guys i just come on rolling stone like i'm sorry i'm giving away my why does this make you mad aaron i just it doesn't have direction to me the songs that are good are good and i love the bass work and as you mentioned around the guitar work but some of these songs i just like i want them to move forward or go somewhere i think if you took
[76:33]off every song on this that isn't written by stephen stills i think you would like this album a lot is that the difference okay that's that's a big part of it because i don't want to be negative helplessly hoping oh boy this is the wrong for that greece rock bottom these guys know more about robocop than
[77:01]they do about greece i bet do you guys know more about greece than robocop i bet you do don't you yeah hell yeah have you seen greece no never matt i've seen greece yeah more of a greece podcast than a robocop podcast what a disaster i was gonna say that that that there's an artist that we do know that you know this may not be our favorite uh rendition of this band or our favorite album but there is an there is an artist very celebrated artist that did take inspiration from these guys artist is back want to check out the
[77:31]song from morning phase this is country down i was reading there was a bunch of reviews when he put out morning phase a lot of people were comparing this to crosby stills and nash the national news review.com morning phase harkens back to the classic singer songwriter era with a lap steel and harmonica recalling graham parsons and crosby stills and nash another article smh said there's an obvious sonic comparison for morning phase to the la folk pop
[78:03]scene from 45 years ago such as crosby stills and nash beck went on to say one of the biggest influences for this it was the birds graham parsons crosby stills and nash he went on to win best album for this so i would say when it comes to taking inspiration from crosby stills and nash and making a best album of the year who did it better beck did it better yeah so funny because guess where um david crosby had gotten kicked out of russell right because he was like
[78:33]right before this the birds i was gonna say the tunnels at saint olaf what a pull melissa etheridge's bedroom long time gone which one of these guys ended up in buffalo springfield all of them most of them uh i don't it's just neil young right yeah springfield's before this okay yeah buffalo
[79:00]springfield's before this all right there's something happening here that's all yeah i can't erin was wrong you didn't let me finish my 49 bye-byes so these guys didn't they just have like a big documentary about them or one of them like we're kind of shitting on them here but they're clearly pretty important what are we damn it i'm not saying you are i'm just saying it's not like we've been overwhelmed with this album what are we missing that other people sit here no i love this album i i think this is a
[79:32]great album i think it's just a little it's a little 60s right like there's just it's it's so similar there there's every song is so similar is what it is okay but if you like that noise like this i don't i texted you guys this album is my jam i love it and they influenced the whole kind of they brought in the folk music into rock i mean i've got a whole pandora stations devoted to stuff like this just tons and tons of it this is all like uh it's all i listen to on pandora i think the musicianship is great i think the songwriting is really good i i just can't like i said i can't
[80:01]figure out why this would be here instead of simon garfunkel or cream you know russ tricked us russ tricked us he's trying to get us to do the rating section before okay and i have russell no that's patented okay so you will be hearing from my clerk oh i said clerk so you know i know what i'm talking about there okay 49 bye-byes that's how i'm gonna say it every time 49 bye-byes how would you say it aaron bye-byes matt 49 bye-byes
[80:31]say it please bye-byes uh russell i would just be wondering why does this subpoena smell like dog piss oh hey that guy just said subpoena hey i got some pina over here that's a guy who also knows what dog piss smells like so he doesn't think it's weird that somebody does i have a first name is stupid subpoenas it's brad pitt's cousin that reminds me i ever tell you guys the first
[81:00]we gotta get listen we gotta get the rating system but i ever tell you guys the first lab i ever did in school first thing i ever taught and i swear this is a gag the teacher did to me where he had the kids he handed out peanuts and then to use the observations use the terms observation inference and prediction right i had the kids say okay everybody look at their peanuts are there any holes in your peanuts are there any cracks in your peanuts let's investigate and the class is laughing i'm going what is going on that was my first lesson ever and afterwards i was like fuck
[81:30]what the fuck set you up yeah it's all it's all dumb including this podcast listen okay this is at 161 as referenced earlier okay is this album at 161 a rolling roan okay that means that it shouldn't be up this high okay all the songs sound the same what's going on it should be lower on the list is this a rolling well toned it is perfect at 161 it should be right here or is this did this get rolling bone boy
[82:00]that's the sound effect i should have had as a boing sound uh did this get rolling boned boing and it should be higher up on the list these sweet judy blue eyes easily and i'm not kidding when i say this top seven song of all time sweet judy blue eyes in my mind one of the greatest songs ever written uh what do you think aaron rolling well toned rolling bone or rolling grown yeah i think i've made my opinion known i don't want to yuck anyone's yum i feel that i erin erin erin
[82:30]i for me i think the harmonies are very cool and i think some of this for me is that this sounds like a choir kid album and i was a choir kid and i'm not now in my life so i don't really want to hear choir kid music so i have a particular like bent about it and i don't understand why this would be here over um simon and garfunkel or like cream we haven't when are we gonna hear disraeli gears but um there are songs i really like right there's stuff that it's a lot of stuff
[83:00]misses me a little bit but i do know it's important i know these guys are important musicians i'm still going to give it a slight rolling groan but i don't want to get any angry voicemails from our listeners or from our main host listen i would love any voicemails please if you're angry even better okay especially if you're angry at aaron i guarantee you'll get played maybe twice um i like to think of aaron not making the same old choir and then going home and throwing his crosby stills and ash album in the garbage no it's too real it's too real fuck that
[83:30]lady's blue eyes yeah i'm listening to holland wolf now i'm holland yeah oh yes uh man killing well-toned rolling bone or rolling grown uh aaron said most of it i certainly understand where they are in the lexicon the late 60s the transition from you know the bluesy to the folksy rock um i just this album is just not for me so it's all personal it's it's too fluffy there's no backbone to it it's pretty noodley things like that but it's all personal it's it's too fluffy there's no
[84:00]like that i think once i just it's it's biased because as soon as neil young comes in i'm a huge fan of the neil you know of adding the young to the crosby stills nash and young yes so i just i think i hear i want that to be the album and that's just all personal so personally i think it's rolling grown should be further down the list i'm a big fan of crosby stills nash ampersand y'all i like being after the ampersand honestly though shouldn't
[84:30]have been crosby stills and nash and young i mean you kind of got like they just added somebody two ampersands maybe had a plus sign oh man two ampersands nash ampersand that's gonna be a bing search later tonight ampersand style now let's see could you have sex ampersand style let's all look at our keyboards ampersand oh yeah that's what i did when i watched those aerosmith videos look at the ampersand looks just like a guy jerking it look at it it does it does it looks like a guy looking down jerk
[85:00]at being like he's in a kabuki mask this doesn't work at all look at the ampersand you'll never see anything else it's just like guys how you know tv's on the right side of the room you know when you eat reese's down you can't eat reese's peanut butter cups you can't think about anything but those panties that's what this podcast isn't under your brain it's dumb right oh oh yeah or if you're are fucked up in the head and you eat other stuff that has panties on it that's not reese's cups russ rolling well-toned rolling bone or rolling grown what you think there's some good songs of this for me i just i think i said earlier it just felt too delicate a little too precious to me like
[85:33]i like you're trying to win over a lady like with these love songs or something i don't know it just it just wasn't for me it wasn't what i'm going to go back to and so i would say i'm not going to yuck any or i'm not going to yum anyone's yuck i've heard a couple yucks i'm not going to yum on this one so so i'm going to say it's really grown a little too high in the list for me but i will say i could see putting this on like during brunch or something like that having it on the background on a sunday morning in the background i think it definitely has a place for for every music fan
[86:03]out there hey what where's our uh ra where's our jc russ we just built this big snow penis and somebody's like oh my god he's out there yummy near yuck uh listen unfortunately you guys are incorrect yet it looks like an ampersand episode we did it he he this is you're incorrect okay sorry guys this album gets a rolling harmonization oh this is the most harmonies we've heard in a album yet and i love it i like the way it sounds
