Ice Cube: Amerikkka’s Most Wanted (1990)
[00:00]Let's right now make a podcast deal. Wolves win the finals. We get whatever the NBA award tattoo or a Timberwolves logo tattoo. I'm definitely in on that one. There's no way they're going to win. I would get a Wolves logo. I'm in for that. They're out in the second round. Come on. You guys have been around long enough to know they're out in the second round. I will admit I got a tattoo in January or February. Yeah, February.
[00:30]And I did float the idea of the Carnival Court tattoo. And I was like, absolutely not. You're not doing it. I was like, what if it's like kind of, you know, like an homage? She's like, no, don't. You can't. Hey, your body, your choice here. So I got a bird instead. Oh, yeah. There you go. You know what? You could always cover up that bird with a Carnival Court tattoo. You'll be like, Jesus, I've covered up three Carnival Court tattoos today. I can't believe you're getting one. This is crazy.
[01:00]I should be making a business just out of this. You know, I hope that the Timberwolves are kind of like Russell's place where the town's house gets hot. Oh, should we reschedule this for next week? You might want to hit the music. We could like hit the music. That's how you get out of the starter door, really. All right. But here's the thing. It will be. It's going to be an old school Timberwolves logo.
[01:30]That's the deal. It's going to. It's got to be. I'm going to get the old school one. Yeah, it's got to be the old school. Me and J.R. Ryder on the neck. It could be. It could be three. It could be all. It could be all of the logos because there's no way in hell they're going to win. You guys have to get this through your head. That's it. That's it. Out in the second round. I'd get the Timberwolves logo and it would be peeing on Adam Silver as a as I. And it shows me betting 100. That would be the that would be the mine. Mine. Mine would be. It would be Glenn Taylor standing behind A-Rod taking him to legal pound town, if you will.
[02:04]Oh, wow. And A-Rod's a centaur. Yes. And then you look in the background and Aaron's gluing his hands to the floor. Wow. This is this tattoo is everything. Like you're explaining this is a tattoo artist. You're like, and then my friend Aaron is in the back. He's glues his hands to the floor. The guy's like, all right. It's going to be an entire. I really want to cover up this carnival court tattoo. It's crazy. The only thing Glenn Taylor's wearing is like those beige socks and. Beige old person orthopedic shoes that he wears to all the games.
[02:32]Does he really wear beige shoes? All right. Yes. Look at this. Here we go. It's like you're not even maple frosting Rob on a donut. There's only two things that are that color. That maple frosting on a donut and old person orthopedic shoes and socks. Yeah. I. And I want a donut. In 2020, four friends decided to listen to every one of the greatest 500 albums is decided by Rolling Stone magazine. This resulted in a text chain. That's. Celebrate the music excoriated the order and led us to making this podcast.
[03:02]We are far from experts. We promise to do almost no research. All opinions are our own. Unless you disagree, please sit back and enjoy Beck. Did it better. Now, guys, I have two things to tell you tonight. Number one, I wrote almost everything about three days ago that I'm about to say to you today. I have zero recollection of any of my jokes. This is a mystery, magical mystery tour that we are on. Number two, I've upgraded this to three things. Number two, I have a secret surprise for you.
[03:31]So when you think the show is slowing down, just say, Rob, show me the secret surprise. Those always work really well, Rob. The secret surprises you've got for us. Nope. This one is going to be good. Okay. Season two, episode three. The first big secret surprise of season two. And number two, guys, we remember we are on our best of episode three run, just like the Rolling Stones. We have determined that this is our Rolling Stones epic three episode run. Here we go. This is the second. Are we? Are we allowed to say that?
[04:00]Isn't that kind of like, are we allowed to say that we are in the best? It's like giving yourself a nickname. It's like if you show up in your freshman year of college, you're like, well, my name is, you know, Thunderstick. That's what they, that's what you should call me. Well, I tried to, I told all Jenny's friends in med school, my nickname was Thick Dick. And I still, I still get a Christmas card from one person where it says to doctor so and so and Thick Dick. That's how the Christmas card comes in every year. It's just, it's just hilarious. And you're like, I'm sorry, I'm not a doctor.
[04:30]What is Rob's daughters are walking in the background when he's saying, you know, my nickname is Thick Dick. Not even affected by it. They just kept walking. Imagine you walked by your dad and he's just talking to his friends. He goes, yeah, I got Christmas cards to Thick Dick. And you're just like, well, time to go to bed. That's dead. I mean, that just shows how spoiled, how spoiled my kids are. I got to swim tomorrow. So. Oh, I can tell you if I was a kid nowadays. I can't say that. All right. So here we go. Jacking it eight times a day.
[05:01]Listen, guys, I'm not going to lie to you. Okay. Sometimes I have forgotten to upload the songs that I'm going to play tonight. But sometimes, sometimes I cannot think of a song on an album, especially an album like this, where I felt like maybe me doing a bit on one of these songs seemed kind of wrong. So instead, maybe I picked an ice cube song, but I knew a little bit better. Maybe I picked an ice cube song that I've. Already done on the show was a parody song.
[05:31]Guys, tonight for the first time ever, we have a double use parody song. I have I have used this song before. I will use it again. OK, it's a great song, but get ready for the parody song. And tonight, guess what? We're turning to a different station. Wow. OK, Rob, you're out. OK, 69.9. You're out. We're going to turn to a different station. Let's see what that station is right now. Everybody welcome to K-Rub. K-R-U-B. And, you know, when you rub them, you better rub them hard.
[06:03]You will be prompted when you pass by Russell. You better stop and rub his muscles. But by God, you better rub hard like you're petting a huge St. Bernard. Get the fuck out. If your hands are weak, you need to do the elbow technique. You should go until Russell bruises. All those light rubs are really fucking useless. I'm on fire. I'm no liar. You need to squeeze for us like a pair of flyers. He should feel like he was hit by. After a rub, visit the ER.
[06:31]He wanted to be crushed. No other options will be discussed. Now you know what else is important. He wants you to do the same thing to his scrotum. Russell wants you to crush his balls. Crush those things like you're in some brawl. If you want to be a huge reactor, he spews his nuts like a trash compactor. Squash those things like you're making jam. Hit those boys, get better and ram. Swish his berries in a sock drawer. Hit them with another two. Two by four. It didn't implode like that private sub.
[07:02]Any time you give Russell a rub. If you rub Russell, remember what you heard. You better give it some mustard. When you're on the air about the greatest album of all time. What the fuck? What? You're just too lazy to look. Russell is just laughing along like, this is great, Rob, you're so funny. And he's like, wait, what the fuck? My unnamed uncle. That's the best part of this. I don't care what he's upset about. Podcast for you, Jack.
[07:30]How many of those lines have you actually used on your significant other, Rob? Like when you're trying to get, like which of those have you actually uttered? Yeah, crush my nuts like the private sub. I've used that before. Yep. Yeah, when I thought of that rhyme, I was like, oh, you did it. You've done it again, Rob. Just waiting for my Pulitzer, please. Thank you. We are all the way up. Oh, I should have said this earlier. We're up to album 187. And from 1990, it's America's most wanted.
[08:01]They did that on purpose, right? A motherfucker named Ice Cube. I think they did. They definitely did that on purpose. It's also America's most wanted thing in a drink. An Ice Cube. Last place? A fly. Nobody wants that. Listen, okay? Yeah, it's at 187. That is a huge shock that we have this album at album 187. I've got three guys here who are my bomb squad. Because a lot of their jokes bomb. I've got Man, Minneapolis. Man, how are you doing? Good, Rob.
[08:30]Just wanted to let you know that I'm into that leopard interior. Goddamn. I'm sinking in. I've got Aaron. I've got, oh, Jesus, that was close. I've got Russell in Minnesota. Russell, how are you doing tonight? This is Little Russ in the house. Unfortunately, there's only one reason they could call me Little Russ. Robbie, rock that shit. Rock that shit. You already got to the... There is a song on here featuring Little Russ. And I thought, I was like... Maybe it won't come up.
[09:00]I was going to make a comment about Big Russ, but I don't need to be reminded of my physical stature, so I just thought I would be degrading to myself by calling myself Little Russ. Rush him. Don't twist him. Whoa. I've got Aaron out in California. Now, Aaron recently told me that he's putting ice cubes. He is putting ice cubes in his condoms. Oh, God. Yeah, because he wants to bring down the swelling. I mean, Aaron, that's not the point. What? I don't get that. I don't get that at all. What?
[09:30]Okay. If I could take a picture of the faces that I just saw after that joke, it was a mixture of disgust and knowing that the future is just terrible. It's like watching a nuclear bomb go off a long way away, and you're just like, well, I'm done eventually. Oh, that's an apt joke for tonight. Rob, I see you over there with your three-inch killer. Let's talk about Ice Cube. Let's do it. Listen, let's get right into it. Why mess around? Let's get right into our... Voicemail.
[10:00]Now, do I remember what this voicemail is about? Again, absolutely not. I don't. Hello. It's starting to get warmer out, which poses this interesting question. Oh, no. What are your thoughts on open-toed footwear in this place? Okay, Aaron. Relax, Aaron. Aaron put his hand up. What are you doing? We're going to get over there, Aaron. We're going to have to get rid of the video on these zoos.
[10:31]Is this a plant? Did you put someone up to this, Rob? Is that Charm, by the way? Who is this caller? That's not Charm. That is not Charm. I know this person. Actually, we might have to talk about this person right after the call. We've got to clear up an error we may have made. Listen, guys. Open-toed shoes. Just one error? Just one error? The only one. Just a single error. Is there anything that us, as four men, have thought about less than shoes in the air? Shoes in the workplace. Like, open-toed shoes.
[11:00]Actually, Russell, you're a big shoe guy. You've got a very nice pair of shoes. Like, you are a big fan of expensive, fancy shoes. I've got some good pairs. I've got some Allen Edmonds that you guys will actually appreciate. You'll get a kick out of this. I used to, like, not really. I don't really care. I'm not the fanciest dresser. I'm more of a schlubby dude. You know, I'm never doing it all up. Russell. No. You wear good shoes, though. You're wearing your finest tank top tonight. I don't believe that's true. Let me tell you guys why I wear. Like, good-looking dress shoes now.
[11:31]Or good-looking, kind of casual-looking shoes. I had been to many conferences, and one of my work colleagues is, like, a huge shoe guy. So, he. A huge shoe guy, man. I can barely. These don't fit. I'm a clown. A huge shoe guy. I mean, Bozo the Clown. That's a huge shoe guy. But, so, he didn't like my shoes that I was wearing at, like, a conference. They were just, like, regular, you know, decent, you know, $100 dress shoes or whatever. They were fine. But. He loves nice shoes and everything.
[12:01]So, he's like, I want to take you and one of my other colleagues. I'm buying you guys a pair of nice shoes sometime. I'm going to take you guys. I want to help you pick something out. What? So, is this colleague's name P. Diddy? Like, what is going on here? You're going shopping with him. Yeah. There was some grooming. I don't really know. Oh, no. We're not going to talk about that. No, this is a good kind of. Russell. This is the good kind of grooming where you're getting nicer shoes. But, so, he took me to Allen Edmonds. Allen Edmonds. And we picked out, like, we tried some stuff on. He bought one for himself. And he bought me and another colleague a pair of, like, probably $300, like, very nice shoes.
[12:31]Jesus. What? And then I bought another pair on my own. And then I've bought another one since then. So, I do have pretty nice shoes and can rock a good pair of shoes when I need to. You do rock a good pair of shoes. But would you wear open-toed shoes in the workplace? Man, that stuff doesn't even. You know what? I'm kind of oblivious to certain things. Like, you could paint a wall in a house and I wouldn't know the difference. It could go from yellow to red. And I wouldn't know the difference. So, I just think I'm kind of oblivious to stuff like that.
[13:01]I don't even notice it. Do you guys? We know Rob does. Do I notice my co-worker's shoes? Absolutely not. But I got to say, if I looked over, and listen, you know, I make jokes all the time about feet or whatever. But if I look over and you just see that little toe and they've got one of those toenails where it takes up, like, somehow it takes up, like, a tenth of the top of their toe. And you can see, like, in front of the toenail. You can see skin to the side of the toenail. You can see. The toenail is like the window in the back of a Prius.
[13:30]You know what I mean? It's like the tiniest little thing. It's so small. I don't want to be seeing that in my co-workers. Open-toed shoes. Close the door on them. I don't need them. Aaron knows where I'm going with this. I know Aaron used to have some toenail fungus issues, if I remember correct, Aaron. Did we ever get that cleaned up? We've never discussed that on the podcast. No, it is not cleaned up. It's just something I'm living with. Guys, it doesn't clean up. I've got toenail fungus, too. You do? My toenails look like Frito chips. There is nothing. What? And you rub stuff on. And it doesn't go away. It's terrible. Yeah, it's not a problem for me.
[14:00]My toes are not suitable for public consumption. So I'm always going to have closed-toed shoes on at work. But yeah, so the thing with the deal with the toenail fungus is I took some medicine for it for a while, but the medicine affects your liver. And this doctor was like, you're going to take something that's potentially liver toxic for a cosmetic issue, not knowing that I was going to be on this award-winning podcast talking about feet all the time. This was 15 years ago, but that's where I'm at. Hey, Aaron, can I just make an announcement? Hey, for those of you about 30 seconds ago, don't be eating anything during this conversation.
[14:33]If you're eating something, stop. I hope that cleared it up. I just, I don't go, I still don't go to a workplace. I have, I do have one in-person event upcoming. We discussed last year's in-person event where I did the team building. We have another one coming in May. That's my only one. So my workplace is at home. And I just realized, like, I just today realized, like, I don't need to wear underwear every day. Like, I just wear. I just wear gym shorts all day long. I'm wearing boxer briefs like 23 hours a day.
[15:03]I don't need to do that. Like, I can not wear underwear while I'm at work. Why? Why aren't you sleeping more? Yeah, I should be sleeping more. You're sleeping in your boxers, aren't you? Yeah. You gotta sleep nude. Not a good idea. I know. Sleep nude. You know, I don't sleep nude. I don't sleep nude because of the earthquakes. I know. But guess what? Earthquake happens. Great excuse to run around your neighborhood naked. You don't get that very often. You don't even have to report. That's the one exception here. You guys, look at this 7.5 on this Dictor scale.
[15:31]Yes, I nailed that one. Yes. I don't know. What do you guys think? Like, I don't even notice that stuff. If you were in the workplace and someone had open-toe shoes, male or female, or anyone, would you notice or care? I feel like male, I would. Female, I don't think I would. It's right. It's a double standard. Like, if you saw a dude in Birkenstocks and no socks, you would be like, oh, that's kind of interesting. Sorry, Matt. Go ahead. Well, I was just going to say, like, I guess on the. On the female side of things, I could care less. Maybe somebody like, I don't know, but I absolutely 100% am with your buddy, Russell, at work
[16:05]and completely judge people in the office setting based on their shoes. You do? Just 100%, right? Love it. Like, I mean, like, what kind of respect are you showing for the job or whatever? And, you know, a lot of the people that I work with or whatever make a shit ton of money, right? And then they come in with, like, the worst shoes in the world and it's like, you know, have a little respect for them. Have a little respect for yourself. Get some nice shoes. Hey, Matt, I agree.
[16:30]And that's why recently I made another Instagram purchase. Are you guys ready for this? Now, famously. Wait, is this the big surprise? Excuse me, Aaron. I will not tell you what the big surprise is until the show slows down. And did you hear my Dictor scale joke earlier? This slow. This momentum. We're in fifth gear, baby. What, what famously, what food famously smells like feet? Cheetos, right? Nooch. I have my Cheetos shoes, okay?
[17:01]These are my orange Pumas I bought off Instagram. We're on the bottom. It says Cheetos. And I will tell you, when you show this to a bunch of middle school boys, they think you are a living God. They think this is the coolest thing that they have ever seen in their life. And guess what? They're right. I don't even like Cheetos that much, but I have Cheetos shoes. Guys, they're fun. Cheetos shoes are fun. Everybody should get some. That voicemail was from my cousin. I'm not going to use her name because some people don't like their name being used on the podcast, but I had to give it a little update on something and maybe issue an apology
[17:31]to a few people out there. Wait, wait, wait. Here we go. Was she, was she in the alphabet under R? From Beck, did it better. I'd like to take this chance to apologize. Absolutely nobody. Beck does it better podcast. That's what the fuck he wants. Hey, that's, that's a timely thing for UFC 300 night, which happened three weeks ago, according to our listeners, Rob. Yeah. Well, I hope somebody got to watch it. So there are two things we need to clean up.
[18:02]We have, we did the Rob co-host tournament a few weeks back. We did the first round of the first region, the second region. We've heard some comments via text from people saying that they were not included. We haven't even gotten to the other region yet. We're not done. Wow. With the region. I remember you saying that there was only two. No, it was a tournament of like 16. God, I could have sworn that was true. Rob, I gotta, I gotta. Rob, the first 32 names that you gave me, I had more on my own.
[18:32]Unfortunately, we're not going to get to those names for another couple of weeks, but there's a whole nother region out there, folks. Wow. So, so if you're upset that you haven't been in the tournament, it's just because we've done East and West. We haven't even gotten to the North and South brackets yet. So just hang in there. Keep listening. We'll get to you. I gotta say, we have never gotten so much correspondence from our fans as we have over the tournament, Russell. Like, in fact, listen to this. Listen to this text I got from random, from random Chicago guy.
[19:01]Listen to this. Listen to this text from guy in Chicago. The glory hole dissertation was informative. I look. Okay. So first of all, thank you. That's how I know you're a true fan. Okay. When you said the glory hole dissertation, we're the only podcast where you can say that where I'll go. Yeah. That was a good. I remember that. Yeah. I remember that. Yeah. Cause you wouldn't want to have an accident. One of the worst places to have an accident. It probably was a top 10 bid that we've done. Oh yeah. Oh, for sure. Okay. I would say a whole lot. One because it's the masters. Now guys, a glory hole at Augusta national.
[19:33]You're in the locker room. Whole 19 here. Oh my God. You put a little flag on your dong. You stick it through. Oh my God. Pull out the pin. Pull out the pin fast. For those of you that don't remember, that was on the Cindy lobster loppers. He's so unusual. And my notes to Rob for that. And this is the overview. These are the first notes that Rob usually ignores when I send them remembered for the extended glory hole discussion. The only hesitation I have about giving this to a new listener is the extended
[20:04]glory hole stuff. It would likely be a bit much for a new listener. Thoughts? I was talking to a friend of mine who's an occasional listener. And you know what he said to me the other day? He goes, you guys haven't blown up yet, huh? And I was like, nope, we have not. And we have stopped caring about that kind of stuff. We cater to almost exactly 85 listeners. And by episode 500, we will have exactly 85 listeners. And we are very happy with that number. We think it's great.
[20:30]It would be a great story on our behind the music, right? Like these guys recorded over 200 episodes before they were discovered and made it, you know, and then, and then all of our new fans who could go through our entire back catalog. Okay. Let's play the rest of that text. I look forward to seeing how I fare in the next round. Godspeed. From a week later, I didn't care before, but now I'm focused on winning this thing. A guy in Chicago took a week. And then said, I need to win this episode.
[21:00]This tournament is all now. Will that have an effect on my decision? People actually giving us content to the back line. Will that, will that make me pick him? Yeah, maybe. I'm not a fair and impartial judge. Random Chicago guy. Kind of sounds like a nice guy, actually. I don't know. Yeah. You know what? But would he be a good co-host, man? That's the real question. And so far, the answer is yes. He's given us stuff to talk about. We love it. Probably a little too quiet. To be a co-host. But then again, he'd let you talk. He would just let you talk.
[21:30]And so maybe that would be the perfect co-host. Matt thinks a guy in Chicago is too quiet to be a co-host. That is one of the greatest all-time statements I've ever heard in my entire life. Matt, I bet he'd be very cordial as he was removing your kidney in a bathtub in Chambord. Oh, right. Joliette. Oh, right. One of those things. So I, I, I would, we were making an apology. There's more regions to come. So the people that felt left out, you're not left out. We just haven't got to you yet. Or wait, we're saving. I'm best for last. The other thing is we have our first forfeit.
[22:00]We have our first forfeit in the tournament. We have a forfeit. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Breaking news. Breaking news. We have a forfeit. Is this a woge bomb? Somebody hates the show so bad. I don't want to risk my reputation. Matt is raising his hand when we keep saying somebody has a forfeit. You're not part of the tournament. You're out. You don't get to do this. Okay, Russell, explain to us what's going on with this forfeit.
[22:33]At some point, either a couple of weeks ago, whenever we did either the first or second of four regions or three regions or two and a half or however many we get through. Yeah, there was a matchup between Russ's uncle who's afraid to call in because he doesn't want to get savage and Russ's cousin. Rob picked Russ's uncle that doesn't want to get savage, even though technically he's never called in. Well, I got a text from Russell's uncle who doesn't call in. Today, actually. Can I read that text with you guys?
[23:00]You know what? If you do read Russell, he's officially eligible in the tournament. So, yes, let's read that text right now. It says, thanks for putting me in the CBS bracket game with Russ's cousin, who is his daughter. This is his uncle, my uncle and his daughter, my cousin. Thanks for putting me in the CBS bracket game with Russ's cousin. Then he says, Russ's cousin is way more deserving than me. I stand zero chance of being selected. So I will continue as a download listener only.
[23:31]Noble. Then he goes on to say, I almost called the Beck line about Rob and John show. John may someday remembered as the Yoko Ono that broke up Beck did it better. Wow. He closes with this. Probably the best thing I've ever read in a Beck's. I never listened to the Rob and John Humpty dance episode. He never listened. Put him to the top. He goes right to the final four. I like that. I like that. He tried to forfeit, but now every time he tries to get out, we pull him back in.
[24:02]He is officially withdrawn. His is he is ineligible for the bracket. So Russ's cousin did advance on that when we get to it about seven weeks from now. Unfortunately, your unnamed uncle has made a huge mistake, which is trying to tell me what to do. And you know that I love to do the opposite. OK, I want to pick him as my co-host now. So bad. OK, that's what I want. I love it when people are trapped here and they have to do the opposite. They have to talk to me and listen to all the things that nobody else, including my family, will listen to me say.
[24:32]OK, but that's not about you guys. Let's get into this week's rolling. Guys, rolling going is the part of the show where we talk about how it's rolling going with us. Classically spelled, of course, G-O-O-N-E. Rolling going. All right, Aaron, rolling going. How's it going with you? Rolling going, Aaron. It's rolling going great. I, gosh, I don't even know where to start. So I want to give a quick car update. I start at the very beginning.
[25:02]Very good. Very good place. Our update sounds like my Tesla. I was locked in the desert. One hundred twelve degrees. Look at what I took my car to get detailed yesterday. Yeah, Friday in like a date. No, actually, it's funny. Anna was going to use it for tomorrow for a hike for the fundraiser for school. But it turns out she doesn't actually need it. So, yeah, I do need to take. Take her out because, like, it's very clean right now. Unfortunately, I took it to a very cool place in East Oakland that seemed to be run by a grandmother and it might be her actual home.
[25:37]They did an absolute bang up job, but they sent my mats home with another car. So I have. Yeah, it was amazing. They did great. And then I like about to drive away and I was like, oh, the mats are missing. And they had sent them home with. Another car. So hopefully if you're out there listening, other car, please bring my mats back to Mickey's and I'll go pick them up when they're there.
[26:04]Give you some advice right now. Yeah. And I hate to say this on the podcast. Fuck the mats. OK, go by. Go buy some secondary mats at a store. They're nicer anyways than the car mats that come with the car. Secondary mats are where it's at. That was the confusion. These were already secondary mats. These were the mats from my Subaru, which I don't have anymore. We now have. A Hyundai. That was the confusion. They sent the Subaru mats with the other Subaru because I drive a Hyundai.
[26:32]They were already leftover mats from the previous car. You. Oh, damn it. I'm so mad at you. You moved your mats from your old car. Yeah. To your new car. Yeah. Why? They're fine because they're useful. They're the rubber mats. They're like, oh, they're not. I thought you. They like said Subaru out of them. And you're like, hey, we do say Subaru on them. That's why they went home with the Subaru. They hit the music. Of course they went home. And the episode. Of course they do.
[27:00]Let's call it. Let's call it. Man, we're going to do the next episode. We're going to be off early tonight. I don't get it. I get the better. We can sit in the bar close. Aaron, why? I don't understand why this is so confusing. Why did you have your mats from your old car? Let's just start there. Why did you keep your mats? Because I don't know. Because we have them. We bought, we had paid for them when we leased to the car.
[27:30]It was a lease, but like you pay for the mats when you, you know, so it was like, oh, these are probably ours. We sold the car to Carvana and we bought the Hyundai and like these fit fine enough. It's a similar size and shape of a car. You didn't know that. You took the mats out and you're like, I hope these fit into our next car. Like when you bought a car, were you kind of looking at the floor? Like, yeah, it's that L shape where it's like big on one part. They kind of narrow the bottom. I think this is going to work. You would, you would think Aaron would be able to afford it. He would be able to afford new ones. After all, he was, he spent about a half hour telling us about all the deductions he took
[28:01]and all the tax credits he purchased at a discount recently. I would think you'd be able to afford that stuff. I'll tell you what, I mean, imagine Aaron crashing his car. Let's say theoretically, Aaron crashes his car back in his driveway, right? He says, it was like, God damn it. All right, grab those mats, bring them in. We might have to get a new car. What is going on here? Did you get the mats in the backseat too? Well, yeah, there were four mats. There's two in the front, two in the back. They were in the car. And unfortunately, as I said, this one's now a Hyundai.
[28:32]They had sent the mats home with the Subaru. So I don't know if I'm going to get them back, but shout out. So this is partially Subaru guys saying, hell yeah. I just got some free upgrade, upgraded mats. This detail place is great. Yes. Yeah. Comes with free mats. Yeah. I mean, they must've been so confused when they were cleaning your car. They were probably took the mats out and they go, what the fuck? Like they put them on the ground and they go, I could have sworn I, but the mats say, oh yeah.
[29:01]No, the guy was confused. Like he was like, wait. I mean, and when I talked to him about it, he was like, but did they say Hyundai on him? I was like, I know. And then the worst part was like, I think they do. Cause I couldn't remember that they were the old mats. And then when he called me. Eric blinked twice. This is a Cheech and Chong episode. Blink twice, Eric. If you, if, if when he asked, you said, yeah, my wife took the, the mats out of the Subaru and put them into the Hyundai. Oh, you have to say that. No, I did not. I didn't blame it on the wife. He didn't call me. He didn't call me and said he had talked to the other customers. So there's still a chance that I might get these mats back.
[29:32]The other customer goes, what the fuck are you talking about? But the thing is the bummer. I own a Subaru. Yeah. These mats say Subaru. Therefore they're mine. Aaron is like, curb your enthusiasm is over. And Aaron has begun. Can you imagine that you're a cop? You go to this house. They go, sir, we have a report that you stole mats from this guy's car. And they opened the car. They go, yeah, these mats say Subaru. And I'm it's in a Subaru. The guy goes, yeah. And the cop goes, and Aaron's there. And he goes, yeah, those are my mats.
[30:00]But you drive a Hyundai. Yeah, I know. No, no. They're from the previous car. The previous car. I also took out one headlight. I'd like to replace the headlight. Like what? I had such a great day. They told me it was going to be take two hours to clean the car. And it ended up taking longer. But I took a walk across Lake Merritt. I got some. And then. And the other problem was that I walked over to. Well, first, I looked at Apple Maps.
[30:32]It told me there was a taco scene in Loa right there, which I was very excited about, because that's one of the better taco chains in the Bay Area. Turns out there's not a scene in Loa right there. So I went to Tacos Miracha, which is pretty good. It's right there on Lakeshore next to Lake Merritt at 12th Street, a little bit north of Canada Park. What is Apple Maps, by the way? Could you give us a detailed explanation of how we could get there from 494? Oh, my God. Well, it depends on if you're east or west, but you'd head down.
[31:00]It's south. Yeah. It's I-80 or I-90. Which one do you want to take? 80. 80 over. Rob, people love this bit. No. Yeah. Did you listen? You guys zoned out when Aaron was talking about Oakland maps. And if you're taking an 80 at some point right around Benicia, no, not Benicia, like Lopez Vacaville, you want to take 680 and go south so you can go through the tunnel on 24th Street. And then you get down to 580 and then that's quicker, because otherwise if you take 80 down through Berkeley, it's trash.
[31:32]I mean, you got to get up, but 80 goes through Denver, and then you want to get to Salt Lake City, though, right? You don't want to go down through Vegas. I always get confused on those roundabouts in Denver. Yeah. Yeah. So you got to go right there. Okay. You got to go through Cheyenne on the 76 cuts down. Gotcha. Okay. Listen, it is 80. Aaron, can I just say, why are you using it? I'm using Apple Maps. Nobody's using Apple Maps. That's what I was going to ask. Google Maps is fucked up.
[32:01]Do you guys use Google Maps? How is Google Maps fucked up? It's constantly taking me on crazy routes here. We were trying to go. Wait a minute. It takes you out of traffic. Yeah, but it takes you through weird. We were trying to go up to see friends in Richmond, and first we had to stop in Albany to pick up some cat plates for Wallace's birthday, and it took us on some streets where instead of. That's it. Be quiet. This is for everything you've said so far. What the hell is this talk? Matt, we're going to hit that bar close way quicker than we thought we were today.
[32:30]We might even still be making that for two for once. Is it a rail drinks or everything? No, it's not everything. We can't really do all your rail drinks two for once. Dan, for my birthday, I want two things. Number one, I want us all to be together. Number two, you know I want those cat plates. Okay? Son, there aren't any cat plates in this city. Okay? That's okay, son. We will simply drive to another city and buy your cat plates. Yeah, we'll stop in Albany. Are these plates that just have cats on them?
[33:00]Because you know when you say cat plates that you're courting trouble in this area. Yeah, they're plates with cats on them. Yeah, update. My son now loves the damn cat. They've totally bonded. She still lives outside, but he loves her the most. So his birthday's coming up. A little buried son and the man on the moon. God damn, I'm. We'll bring the stray cat in, dad, yeah. We'll feed the stray cat down. Once there was this cat.
[33:33]Okay, I have a list of things I'm going to make parody songs about. I need to add Aaron's car mats. And I am also adding cat plates. You know what? Like the number one correlation of people who have to go through major therapy as adults is people who have their parents let stray cats into their houses. That's it. 100%. He loves the cat. They're totally bonded. He and Alice are best friends. So, yeah, for his birthday, Anna found some, these are like vintage plates with a cat sort of print on them.
[34:03]And she found them at this store in Albany. So we were going up to see our friends in Richmond anyway. So we were stopping off in Albany. But the whole story was that Google Maps was taking us on the side streets onto those intersections where you only have a stop sign. And then you can't get across the intersection because it's all crazy. This happened to Sarah's dad once back in the day when you had like the Garmin, you know, what was that called? The actual. Those old GPSs. The old school one. Well, he was going, famously, he would follow that thing to a T, right?
[34:34]And so one time, like he knew where his sister lives. You know, he was in Minneapolis. He had to get to like Maple Grove. He knew where his sister lived, but he'd still put it in the Garmin and the thing was sending him and they were just on back roads the whole time. And he kept saying, I don't, I don't know why it's having us take this way, but he would still, he would go that way, you know, and take it or whatever. And it found out he clicked that, you know, no. No freeways, you know, just back roads. And so, yeah.
[35:00]Did you click just back roads, Aaron? Maybe I did. I don't know, but I'm, I'm an Apple Maps enthusiast. I prefer it to Google Maps. Also, I'm alone in my house. Like we've had, we've already, now this is going to come up. This is, we've already had these discussions in my house because Anna prefers Google Maps. I prefer Apple. I'm the only person who thinks this way. So. Now, now listen, Aaron, let me ask you this. You're driving the car. You switch drivers at a rest stop. Are you closing her Google Maps and putting on your Apple Maps?
[35:30]Like, is it going that far? Actually, yeah, that has happened in part because. Like the Civil War. Brother fighting brother. Don't do it. You don't want to get all the way into this minutia. She now has. I do. I really do. An iPhone 15 and I have a 14. So that means she's got a USB-C aux cord. I have an old, what is it? Thunderbolt aux cord and our built lightning. Thank you. And our fucking built-in wireless. Phone charger doesn't actually charge your phone. So, yes, the last time we were driving, she used her phone for the first part and I used mine for the second part.
[36:04]And at some point we switched from Google Maps to Apple Maps. I was, I was going to say, Aaron, I can kind of, I have, I'm on your side on this. Oh, I was going to, I do not use Apple Maps. I think that's fucked. I think that's fucking weird. I'm not saying that, but I'm saying when you're driving, you need to use your app. You don't use someone else's app. If you don't. If you don't use Waze, you use Google Maps, use your app. You don't need to let the person in shotgun tell you to use their app.
[36:33]You're getting alerts. You're not used to, they're taking you Waze. You're not used to, you don't, you don't know when it's going to give you the heads up to turn. You got to use your own thing. And I'll even go further. If you're riding with someone, maybe to small town, Minnesota, and they know which way to get to home, but you don't quite trust it. You use your own fucking map. Even if it's to where they call home. I think you've got to use your own map. It's a safety issue. You put on your own, your own map.
[37:00]That is, I just got to tell you right now, that is terrible advice. If you are going to somebody's house and they say, Hey, listen, you should drive this way. Just go that way. Russell, you're in a relationship now. Sometimes you just got to eat it. Just go that way. That's the way it is. I think when I, when I'm traveling for work and I plug into the car and just try to get, I think that's Apple maps. I think, you know, and the problem is, is that it, then it always tells my watch what to do. And then my watch is always. It's beeping at you, right? Yeah. And all that, and like way too early and way too often.
[37:30]I actually like that. I say that I would like. I enjoy the, the alerts from the, from the watch on the Apple maps. No, but it's like, it's, it's doing that. And then it's telling you, and then it's showing you, it's like a, it's like too many, it's, it's too many people telling you what to do. I bike around New York and I use Google maps for the bike directions. I should be using Apple maps and it would buzz me on my watch. So I could just look. Yeah, man. You should try it tomorrow. Yeah. Next time you're in school, Rob. My problem is my text messages. My message font on my phone is getting so small. I mean, I'm trying to drive and read.
[38:00]I can barely see that. My tax. I got to really look at it. Hey, that's not safe. I'm driving. Can I just say this? Go on eBay right now. Type in vintage cat plates. It is wild. What comes up? We got this one where the cats are angels. Okay. We've got. I mean, walls would love that. Cats, the cat angel cats. He would love it. Oh my God. There are so many cat plates. Yeah. We don't tell my kids either. My today, Eddie. He had his shirt and I think his shirt just says, I'm a cat guy. Yeah.
[38:30]He's got two, you know, things like that. So don't tell my kids about this. Kids are into this. Aaron, you are hogging the rolling going time, but what were you going to finish with? What happened? What were we talking about? We drove. No, I'm done. I'm good. I'm good. Well, I was going to talk about how I was disappointed with my selection and tacos me rancho because I got fooled by the special of the day, which was so based on, I should just always get tacos. And also the pastor there is really falling off. What was the special Aaron? What tricked you into, into getting the special? It just, it was a nice sign on the outside. It said, you know, special of the day. I thought, well, maybe that's the thing I should do.
[39:01]But it turns out, I think they were just trying to get rid of some stale sopace. So I should have just gone with tacos. Yeah. Especially on recording on Saturdays, right? Yeah. So, you know, usually food delivery trucks come in on like Monday, Tuesday, and then like Wednesday, Thursday, maybe Friday, you know, so like shrimp on Monday is never good because the truck hasn't come in yet, you know, and it's been sitting over all weekend, things like that. What day do the food, what day is food deliveries? Usually Tuesday, but sometimes Monday, but usually Tuesday.
[39:34]And then usually there's a second one on Thursday or Friday because you come in on Monday and you see what you use for the weekend and then you put the order in on Monday. If you're the restaurant buyer, things like that. Aaron talked for like an hour. I didn't learn a thing. Matt said one sentence. Now I've changed my life. I'm only, I'm not, that's when I'm ordering shrimp, Thursdays. All right. How's it rolling going with Rob? That's what I want to know. Let's listen. Oh my God. Going right to the foot of the master. Oh, I'm not ready.
[40:00]Now again, I don't remember what I wrote down for this. So let's just read what it says. Aaron, would you sit at the foot of the master if he was wearing open-toed shoes? No way. Nope. Closed-toed shoes only in this dojo. Listen up. Guys, I've got, listen, listen, look at the, I just want to show you this. I'm officially into probably going to have to buy a new phone at some point. Land. Look at the back of my phone. It is smashed. It is to the point. And this has been like this now for a year, but it is now to the point where when I zoom
[40:32]in on my camera, if I zoom too far, it's almost like you should put a case on that thing. I have a case on it a little bit. I have a case on it. The dumbest of the dumb. It's a, it's a Kate Spade. You are so dumb. The camera. Now, if I zoom in too far, it just shakes. And I think my phone is finally on its dying legs because now when I turn on the flashlight, it takes a while for the flashlight to come on. My phone is so old that the flashlight is slow to, it's so old that I think I just have
[41:04]250 gigs of photos on it. Like, you know, that's what my life is now. When I fill my phone up with photos, I'm like, time to get a new phone. That's what I know for sure. It's time to get a new phone. I'm pretty sure you're not supposed to, I'm pretty sure you're not supposed to zoom in when you take pictures too, because that distorts everything. My neighbor's apartment is so far away. What am I supposed to do? Yeah. I think you're supposed to do it. You're supposed to take the picture and then zoom in after you take the picture. Yeah, the zoom really fucks up your pixelation.
[41:32]That would make it easier to jack off because when it's shaky, I can barely. I try to jack off at the same time as it's shaky and it would like even it out. And I would actually be able to see it's like motion smoothing. That pixelation brings Rob back to his teenage years when he didn't have the cable box hookup where he would change it to that channel and it was just scrambled. Listen, I. Look at my eyes. Listen, does this look like a guy who jacked off to the Spice Channel?
[42:01]Yes. Yes. When there was that movie, the guy was like, that was a boob. I saw a boob. I was like, this is me. I wrote this movie. Dude, how can one day at the very end of the cable box, could it be scrambled Hulk Hogan versus the ultimate warrior at WrestleMania six and on the next day become something completely inappropriate for little Robbie, junior Robbie back in Rochester? Is that, does he have that guy? Does he have that guy in a headlock or are they obviously humping at an angle where you
[42:30]know there's no insertion? Like it's so obvious there's no insertion in some of those. It's crazy. It's like, it's like when you're so, you know, when you're so horny, cause we've all done it where you're like, I'm at a hotel and I'm paying my own bill. Probably should buy a porn. And then you buy a porn and it's like the soft core stuff. And you're like, God damn it. Who can, who let's, let's take a vote here. Who can honestly say they've. Never ordered porn at a hotel. I've never done it.
[43:01]No, never. Now, are you also counting motels? Listen, Aaron got that. Airbnbs, hotels, verbos, turn that off. Like the local clerk needs to come to your room and like flip a switch on the, on the TV for you and for you to see it or something like that, Rob. No, do you want, you want channels 402 or 403? No, no, no.
[43:30]You got to turn the antenna a little bit. Hey, I got to complain. Channel 99 is so scrambled. Can you come and please try to fix it? Please, please, please. That actually feels like the start of a porno. Like that's like an inception thing. It's like a porn where you got to call the front desk to come fix your antenna for the porn. And then they come in and you have sex with them. I once taped a scrammy. Rob can't hear me at all. He can't. Aaron, say it again. Say it again. No, I can't. I'm listening. Hey, Rob, real quick on the text chain today, you guys were talking some, one of our friends,
[44:00]Manny from South St. Paul was watching the movie adventures and babysitting. And I was thinking that probably the fifth best movie ever about babysitting was, Hey mom, the babysitter's dead. I was wondering if you could tell us the other three top five babysitters. No, I'm a guy with kids. I am not making jokes about pornos with babysitters. Absolutely not. Hey, that has disgusted me. Hey, gross, whoever likes this needs to be punished probably by getting slapped around
[44:32]for a while. And Rob, do you want me to re-ask that question with my white sunglasses on? Oh, Russell, first episode of the night, you're putting on the white sunglasses. Russell has white Oakleys. Like he is playing right field for the Yankees in 1993. The blue ones are off tonight. The white ones are on. Oh my God. Russell's white Oakleys. A guy who famously never wears white. He never wears sunglasses. Has multiple colors of Oakleys. It cost him a grand total of $16 at the Conoco.
[45:03]Russell's like, Russell's just spinning that rack and put him on me like, Hey, actually this looks okay. Hey, how do these look on me? You know, guys, what are the chances that these sunglasses were like two for $10? And that's why Russell has two pair. Hey man, do you got a scissors back there so I can cut the tag off these things? I'm wearing these bitches tonight. That is so real, Russell. I just like to finish with this and then I'll be done. Speaking of monopolizing the ruling going time.
[45:32]Jesus Christ, Rob. Do you think I was going to edit that out? Cause I felt bad. I said that about Aaron, but I can't now. I'm sorry. Uh, do you think that I ever taped the spice channel and then put it on my VCR? Because I thought if I adjusted, you know, that setting on your VCR, the tracking, I was like, if I can adjust, this is what a genius I was. This is like Albert Einstein over here. I heard about me doing this. It was like, Oh, this guy is very smart equals MC squared.
[46:00]Oh, I was going to say equals MC Robin. I forgot to see Kazakhstan. Anyway, I would adjust the tracking on my VCR. Cause I was like, the tracking makes a tape blurry spice channels blurry. I'm going to blur the blur and it's going to be clear. And I was like, this would be the greatest revelation. This would be like fog making a wheel. It'd be like, Oh, it rolls. It's like an episode three where we unswap the wife swap. Oh, can you imagine if you're, if you're. Parents walked in while you were doing this and like, Rob, what are you doing over there? And you had to explain it.
[46:31]I mean, guys, I'm just going to say this in my childhood. If I was in the basement, 85% chance, no one's coming down. Well, no, that they, everybody knows what I was doing. And now that I have kids, you realize how bad they are at lying. Why are you watching the Spanish channel at 10 30 on a Sunday night? Uh, my Spanish teacher said I get extra credit if I do it. Well, I know my parents could just go to their TV, put on the Spanish channel and see that there were boobs on it every five minutes.
[47:01]That's what was going on when I was watching the Spanish channel. I, uh, and speaking of cheese, uh, Matt rolling going, how's it going with you? How good it's a Rob, you monopolize the rolling, going all this, make it quick this week. And, um, all I had in my notes for this week was that Pearl jam's coming out with a new album this week. Wow. This week. It's just, it's starting. It's starting to drive me a little bonkers because they're completely commercializing everything.
[47:30]So they've released two songs. They're pretty good. They are having, uh, uh, at different, um, record stores. You can go have listening parties, you know, like you got to buy a ticket to get in, to listen to it. They're in like 500 theaters around the country. Matt, did you see what Russell was just doing with his glasses? I'm so sorry to interrupt. He had his sunglasses down on his nose. Like Betsy. Ross. Only the flag. It was polarization on these bad boys. I can't see shit. Hey, Rob, Rob, sorry.
[48:05]Next time. You know what I'll do? I'm going to do the thing where I put them on backwards, where they sit on the ears. Could they sit on the back of my head? I don't want to go that style. There is. You can just flip. You got, yeah, you got to get them up here though. Russell. So if you need them, you just flick them down like that. You just got to get the head flick. Russell's white Oakley's blend. So perfectly with his hair. It's a wild, it's wild to me. Matt, I am so sorry. I am so sorry. Please continue. So, so on, I think it's either Wednesday or Thursday.
[48:32]I think the album comes out on Thursday, but like either on Wednesday, Thursday, there's like 500 theaters around the country that are playing the album. Like listen, and it's turned into like this, it's just this huge commercialized album release thing, which I know everybody does now because Instagram and all the different things, but like, it's just turning me off of, of the whole. Pearl Jam vibe, you know, from back in the day. They're becoming too popular. Well, not, I mean, they're very popular as it is, but like, it's just, it's completely
[49:03]against, you know, they famously went against Ticketmaster for charging all the fees and everything, you know, everything they're doing is fees. And Rob, I looked at their, they're having a concert. Kind of spitting in their own ethos, isn't it? It's kind of saying, you know, and it's fine, but like, you know, the tickets Rob for Madison Square Garden, 895 bucks for the cheap seat. It's $895, you know, and that's what it is, you know, for a lot of shows out there and stuff like that.
[49:30]So, you know, I would normally, if, if tickets were a hundred bucks, I'd go to like three or four shows around the, the, the country, right? I'd find a reason to go for work, things like that. But at 895 bucks and 350 bucks in Denver and all this stuff, it's just, it's getting, I'm, I'm, I'm shaking my, uh, my fist at the kids walking across my lawn now and saying, you know, this is getting too ridiculous. They're pricing up the average person, aren't they, Matt? I think so. They are, but they're still selling out. This is what these older bands are doing, man. They know that their fans are now 40 to 50 year old, you know, guys with fancy shoes
[50:04]and they can all come in and afford these tickets. You're not going to get those. You're not going to get those $50 shows anymore from these bands. They don't know what they're catered to. That's crazy to me. And then, yeah, they have you thinking like, oh, I don't know how many more times I'll be able to get to see him. I better spend this $900 and like they might play for 30 more years. Yeah, I totally get it, man. Such a bummer. I think I would. I would go to more concerts if they weren't so expensive. But now, what are you supposed to do now? Find out what music is young and cool and new and get cheap tickets to it?
[50:31]Good luck with that. We can keep up with that. We're trying. We're trying. And we're working on it. Oh, shit. I completely forgot to play our song. That's what I was going to steal Aaron's take. Let's put on Prep School Gangster. You nailed it, Rosie. This album is so great. It's fun, right? This song is awesome. Shoot. I wish I would have had that going in the background. Oh, you know what? I can do it. I'll do it earlier. I can do whatever I want.
[51:00]Let's just play it here. We'll play it the whole way through. I'll move it till it's earlier. I hear the train a-comin'. It's rollin' round the bend. No, you can't sing along with it, Russell. That's going to screw up when I move the song to earlier and Matt's rollin' and goin'. Although, it's not going to make sense because you're talking about Pearl Jam. Well, why don't we just hear what Matt has to say about it? It's awesome. The whole album's awesome. It really is. It's super fun. It feels like Vampire Weekend. Vampire Weekend took, I don't know, five years off or something like that and grew up and said, we're going to change how we do all this stuff and made an awesome, awesome album.
[51:33]It's really fun. I cannot... Yeah, they're coming to... I think they're coming to the Armory in Minneapolis and so I'm absolutely going to try to go see them, but they are phenomenal. It's such a great, great album. So, yeah, right there, July 30th. Matt, you were talking about when they're playing locally, there was another album that came out. You guys might be bigger fans of this group than I am. The Black Keys have a new album. Ohio Players. Oh, see, now you're stealing mine for next week.
[52:01]Oh, I'm sorry, Matt. I'll leave it. I'll leave it for you. They're going to try it with Juicy J on it. No, I'm... And that's my favorite one with Juicy. We'll play that one next week because that's the one I was going to bring up next week. I'm going a different route with this, though. Not the music. I'm going the album cover. You know what I'm talking about, Matt? Yeah, we talked about it last week. Oh, sorry. I might have had too many drinks. You know, it was like Lake Street and Lindale, but it was two blocks. It was west of Lind Lake. Yeah. So it was kind of in the uptown. Yeah. Over that weird bridge.
[52:30]Yeah. So, yes, we talked about that last week, Russell. Oh, sorry. If you remember. I'm sure Russell remembers. And I'm so late to Vampire Weekend. They've been together since like 2006. I had never heard one of their albums. You haven't? Oh. No, this is the first time I've ever listened to them. Wow, really? They're like, oh, they're like, noodley is all hell, but like, cool noodley. You know, not like Phish, who's just do-do-do. Technically, Aaron, you did hear them before on the Abbey Road episode, where they had a top five song featuring the harpsichord.
[53:01]I think there might be a harpsichord on this album, too. Probably. Guys, we're learning stuff. Yeah. I cannot recommend this one enough. This is up there with when Rob, you brought me on to the Killers album, Exploding, Imploding the Mirage. He said that came out like I hadn't listened to him in a long time. And that was, again, a stellar album. I still listen to those first five songs. I listen to that album all the time. It's unbelievable. This is right up there with it. So everybody should go out and listen.
[53:31]Matt, Pearl Jam is coming to the airplane, that album at that theater. Remember that theater in New York City where I had you look through the eye holes, the IFC Center? Yeah, the peephole. Yep. It's playing it right there. You could come out to New York and go down to the village. They're playing at the Riverview. Pete from St. Paul, one of his favorite spots. You know, they're all over me. But like, I'm just, I'm not going to go watch it. I don't know. You think it peeps? Pee-wee Herman went to a concert where they were playing a Play Jam album, a Pearl Jam. You think if Pee-wee Herman went to a theater, and you guys are never going to guess where this joke is going, okay?
[54:04]So just wait a second. If Pee-wee Herman went to a theater and they're playing a Pearl Jam album. He probably wouldn't have got himself in trouble. I couldn't think of a joke. I thought I would for sure. I bought myself some time and everything. Shit. Do you think he would jam his own Pearl? I guess that'd be if he was a lady. Oh, damn it. You Apple maps your way to that joke. You found it. Game down hard. Call those the high hard ones. Oh, high down hard. The big ticket. I mean, that was crazy good.
[54:31]That was crazy good. Call those the high hard ones. I saw a man fly. Is that Kevin Harlan? Yeah. That was good. That was good. Russell, rolling going. How's it going with you? Rolling going. As you guys know, this is the week of the NFL draft that's coming out. I believe that this is NFL draft week. I totally knew that. We're going to do a draft tonight. We're doing a draft. Oh, wow. Oh, no. Where's my... I mean, it's not even an NFL season. Is it our top 64 listeners? I hope we can vote on our top 64 listeners.
[55:01]Rob gave me that list, too, but unfortunately, he left off one person from, I believe they're from Richfield, but we won't say their name. They'll be in Prairie. Oh, sorry. It's weird. I feel like Rob would remember that person very well. We don't have any NFL draft music? You think that he should. I think they did like a study abroad program together and stuff. Maybe the same major. All that stuff. The Rolling Kits podcast is NFL draft music. We don't have any NFL draft music. That is so weird that you say that, and you know that's true.
[55:32]There's a 99% chance that podcast does not know the team that Monday Night Football. This is all we have for NFL draft? They don't even know that you play football on Mondays. They guarantee they don't know. This is coming from Rob, who is pissed during the NFL playoffs in Vegas. When people are walking around and not watching playoff games, he gets pissed at them. What are they doing? Yeah. What are you doing? You're in Las Vegas. The playoffs are on. Oh, I would rather spin the big wheel.
[56:00]What the fuck are you doing spinning the big wheel? Oh, I'd rather play video blackjack. Video blackjack? Are you fucking serious? You know how dumb and fucking dumb you have to be to play video blackjack? And then the playoffs are on? Oh, you get to double that shit up, though. The double version? So you play that. It's video poker. It's different. That's actually for cool guys. Video poker. You can watch the playoffs and do the video craps with the real... Dice and halftime. Yeah. Bouncy dice. There's nothing like doing the Monday Night Football bumper music instead of the draft music, but that's okay.
[56:32]We'll make it work for this weekend only. Wait, is there NFL draft music? That's got to be, right? NFL draft? Well, it's so long, Russell. I mean, the NFL draft is like... It's Enneagram DeVita. No, the only... NFL draft music loop. This is the only one I have, Russell. Okay, we'll use this when... Oh, God. Okay, wait, wait, wait. Russell. Pause for a second. I got to put this on the soundboard. I got to put this on the soundboard. Oh, my God. Hey, that's like...
[57:01]This reminds... Speaking of the draft, it reminds me of a fun TikTok I just saw where... Oh, guys, we got to get rid of one sound. Where they went through the draft... Hey, Rob, I'm not going to be able to participate in this podcast because I moved to Canada last week. Sorry. I apologize. That is so good, Russell. I was going to say... What can you get rid of? My first pick was going to be Miller Genuine. You beat me. You beat me with a better joke. You Apple Maps. You wazed your way to a great joke there. All right. Guys, which sound has to go now?
[57:30]One where Aaron says, that's my penis. No. That's what I call my penis. No, that's good. I can't. I just can't. It's locked. I can't do that. Rob can't quit that one. You know what? Tornado siren. We haven't used it. And now, I guarantee you, we're going to have to use it at some point. But okay, here we go. We had to Marie Kondo that one. All right, here we go. Russell. Guys, uh-oh. Russell's coming out with an announcement. Who's on the board? All right. So, here's the draft. The other night, the upstairs roommate and I, I sent you guys a picture of this.
[58:02]We decided we were doing charcuterie board night. We went out. We picked up just a bunch of stuff, put it on the table, and we get home. And I decided, we're going to do a top chef challenge. We're going to do a draft and pick the ingredients, draft left and right. And then, we're going to get 10 minutes to create our best charcuterie board. So, I have about 13 to 15 ingredients here. I'm going to let you guys draft the best ingredients for a charcuterie board. Are you ready? Aaron, you are on the clock.
[58:32]I'm going to give you the ingredients we had to choose from. Does that work for you guys? Hey, Rob. Rob, can you put these on the notes and just type them out and leave them there? Yeah, let's do that. Here, give me one second. Charcuterie. No, I'm not going to try to spell that. I almost started that, and I'm not going to do it. Okay? And I will, I'll put check boxes there so we can get rid of them when they're drafted. Are you doing this because you guys want to watch me? Spell various meats? Oh, no. It doesn't hurt. Spell pickle. The first one I have a feeling will come up in Rob's purple links.
[59:01]The first one is salami. Salami. Oh. Okay. The second one is pepper jack sticks. Ooh. It's delicious. Now, are you sure that this is not a lunchable that you guys opened? Well, it's up to you. The third one is prosciutto. The next entrance into the draft, Car Valley Baby. Cheddar. So, a fancy cheddar cheese. Baby cheddar. We'll just call it fancy cheddar. Cheddar.
[59:30]All right. Apple smoked cheddar. Alomar Bent River cheese, which is almost like a creamy cheese, if you will. Okay. I'm going to put on a creamy cheese. Creamy cheese. Creamy cheese. I'm going to edit out where I'm typing this in, so it's going to sound like I'm typing it really fast. Oh, wait. Mixed nuts. What? Mixed nuts. Who's Nick? Yeah. Whereas, Russell loves Nicked Nuts. Hit those things hard. I got to get a new Manscaper.
[60:03]Oh, Nick Nuts. Next up, Sugar Snap Peas. Sugar Snap Peas. That one was, I saw that on the, I'm having a problem not getting photos on time, but I saw that one on the photos, and I was like, that's a crazy choice. Guys, can I just tell you right now? Okay. Never mind. I won't tell you. We'll get there. Hey, don't. We're going to get there. Red Bell Pepper. Don't. Red Bell Pepper. This one, I don't think was intended to be in the game, but it was purchased, and we left it out.
[60:39]It is Carrot Sticks. Carrot Sticks. Or Baby Carrots. Baby Carrots. How about that? Baby Carrots. That's even worse. That's not even food. Oh, what? I agree. Red Grapes. Red Grapes. Aaron doesn't like Baby Carrots. Hey, you dumb shits. Why don't you save it for the draft? You guys are the dumbest of the dumb. Red Grapes.
[61:00]I can't help myself. I can't deal with this because it's not in alphabetical order. I just can't deal with this. Russell, can I say this? Talking to my scouts, trying to get my game plan going. Red Grapes. They got seeds. No seeds. Okay. Seedless. Okay. Okay. Raspberries. You could not find a seeded grape in all of Minnesota. No way. Yeah, you can. You don't. I bought them on accident. You can be started on this, Aaron. Yeah. We had an issue with what Russ has purchased in recent weeks, so let's not go there. I stand corrected.
[61:30]I used to buy like a bag of grapes for like lunch for the week at, you know, and one time they were like, oh, look, these are on sale for like $3.99 a pound kind of a thing. I'll take these and, you know, got back to the office and they were seeded grapes. Grapes with seeds. And I'm like, well, no wonder they were $3.99. If they were in a tournament, they'd be very low seeded. Okay. Which means a high number because they're bad. A sliced Honeycrisp apple. Strawberries. Berries. And then the final one, which was the most talked about one on the text chain, blue cheese
[62:02]stuffed olives. Oh, that was not clear from the photo that there was blue cheese in there. Because if they were just olives or Greek olives or, you know, without the blue cheese, I would have been all over. So if we, I can't wait. I hope I draft first. I'll take the olives. I hope you guys don't take them. Matt, with the worst record in your food choices in previous weeks, you get the. I know. That was on the clock. Matt, which one are you? Hey, Rob, but we do have new music, I believe, right? The pick is in. The pick is in? It's so long.
[62:32]It's very hard for me, but a charcuterie board without fancy cheddar cheese. Like I, if I don't have the fancy cheddar cheese, then might as well not have anything. Matt's taking the fancy cheddar cheese. Fancy cheddar cheese. He's so right. That's, yeah, that's the best place to start. Aaron, you were up with the second pick. The fancy cheddar went first. What do you have to have on your? Your charcuterie board. If the fancy cheddar's gone, I got to start with the prosciutto. Prosciutto. He's taking the prosciutto. Yep.
[63:00]And guess what? Oh, wait. I'm sorry. And guess what? A charcuterie board draft with two meats is fucked. Right. That's what I was going to say. I am taking the salami, leaving Matt with no meats. Matt has no. There are the pepper jack sticks. Those are beef sticks. Those are sticks. Yeah, those can go. Oh. To be clear, sorry about that. The pepper jack sticks are like meats. They're like beef sticks. What was I thinking of? Colby Jack cheese?
[63:30]What kind of Jack was? Well, pepper jack is a cheese. I think I was mistaken. I could have made that clear. We've got a scouting error going on. That might have been a Mike Tice. We tried to pick him at nine instead of seven moment for me. I apologize. Calm down. Do we have any crackers? Do we have any bread? Do we have, I mean, like, what are we, what are we putting everything on here? No bread this time. Wow. No starch. Wow. Greasy hands. Ooh, I love it. Russell trick by Russell. Trick by Russell. Hey, let's eat all this greasy food with our hands. Is that a snake draft or am I up again? Rob is up next. Rob is up next with the third pick.
[64:00]Or Rob, you picked an Aaron pick, right? Yeah. Listen. You know what? Last night, it turns out we did not go snake draft. We went back to back and I may have been, got my ass kicked because of it. So Matt, we're going to keep going. Your, your food tastes continue to get you the top pick in the draft. Your second round, number one pick. What are you taking? Well, since there's no more meat, there's no, uh, nothing to put them on. I think you could take the sticks. Those are the beef sticks. Yeah, but that's, I mean, that's kind of the taste of Hill.
[64:30]You don't know if it's cheese or if it's ever beef sticks. It's kind of like putting, uh, carrots in with it. So, you know, we need like flat deli meat as, as, uh, on the board. Not an option. I'm going to go with a, I'm going to go with a mixed nuts, mixed nuts, mixed nuts. It's coming in hot with the mixed nuts. What, what would you guys think if, when you were picking up these ingredients with your upstairs roommate and you went to just grab some box of like, I don't know, pecans or something, and they were immediately put back because there was some sort of like sugar
[65:00]or some sort, there was some sort of seasoning on them. They were immediately put back or other more healthier nuts. Well, wait, you're already eating thousands of grams of sodium. You should be going for taste. Like the health part is out the window at this point to me. You guys are idiots. You say, thank you, dear. I'm so glad you're here. The mixed nuts are off the board. Aaron, what are you taking to go with your prosciutto? I'm taking the, the Alomar, the Alomar cheese. Oh, the Bent River cheese.
[65:30]The creamy cheese. Yep. All right. I got a prosciutto and a creamy cheese now. You guys, it's over. That's it. That's all I need. Hey, I am going to take with my pick, the pepper jack sticks. Guys, I've got multiple meats. You've got two meats. It's a charcuterie board. It's got multiple meats. Okay. You guys are fucked. I was reading about charcuterie boards when I saw everyone. Ripping olives on a charcuterie board and you guys saying carrots. I have read. There's a rule called the three, three, three rule in charcuterie. Have you ever heard of this? No. Three meats, three cheeses, three crackers.
[66:00]It's three meats, three cheeses, three starches. And some people will take it further. And three others, which could be fruit, vegetables, or other types of ingredients. So it could be three, three, three, or three, three, three, three, Matt. Wow. Next pick Rob or you're up or Matt's up. Number one. Matt's up. I'm going with some sort of fruit. I'm having a hard time because I really don't have anything to like pair it with too well. But for some reason with my cheddar cheese and mixed nuts, sliced honey crisp apples.
[66:35]Sound great. Even though I love some of the other ones. Apples and cheddar is a perfect pairing. That's so good. I'm not going to lie. That was my next pick. I'm pretty mad that you took that. Actually, I was pumped. I sniped you. I sniped you. I'm an idiot. God damn it. Aaron, your third round pick. Where are you going? I got to take the best fruit on the board. Strawberries. Oh, can I give you guys a thought on strawberries? Yeah, you have to watch it.
[67:00]If you cut them up and you put them on a wood charcuterie board, that red stain does not come off very easily. So if you're up, they need to be in a bowl or something. If your upstairs roommate is not happy that there are red stains on the wood boards afterwards, do not put cut strawberries on the board. A little parchment paper or something. Yeah. Yeah. It's so funny that Russell has a charcuterie board draft and everybody's mad afterwards. Hey, let's take something fun that we can do as a family and just get mad. Robbie, what are you picking with your pick?
[67:30]Make your third pick. By the way, I said family there and nobody said. Hmm. I am going to take. Refundable deposit. I am going to take. You know what? I got to go. I got to go red grapes. I got to go red grapes with my pick. It's a good choice. I like it. I think it's with the meat. It's sweet with the meat. Count me in. Matt, your fourth round pick. I'm going to go raspberries. Oh. Oh. Oh.
[68:00]I'm going to smoke cheddar. A great pick, but Matt, it will stay in the board. Aaron, did you just pick up a second cheese or is this your first cheese? Yeah, second cheese. Smoked cheddars. I got the prosciutto and the smoked cheddar. I had a hard time between raspberries and second cheese. It was a tough decision. There are some people in our world that will say a true charcuterie board only depends on the amount of stacked meat and stacked cheese. So Aaron might. With two cheeses, could have a leg up. I feel pretty good. I feel good about my choices. You know what? I got to say. Guys, I got to do it.
[68:30]What are you doing? I'm going baby carrots. I got to go baby carrots. I got to like baby carrots. Switch it up. It is a change in texture. I got my meats. Okay. I got my meats. I've got my fruit. And now I've got a little veggie in there to cleanse the palate. Okay. Listen. Listen. A palate cleanser. Nobody's taking the carrots first. Nobody's taking the carrots first. Nobody's taking the carrots first. We all know that. They're just for hydration. That's just water. That was the one that on the text chain that got the most feedback was you can't have a fucking carrot out of charcuterie board. Just in general, Matt, you're like the Todd McShane of this draft.
[69:03]What do you think of the carrot pick by Rob in the last round? I'm just glad that he picked it so I didn't have to. He's like the Raiders of this charcuterie draft. And in fact, you know, so what's remaining is sugar snap peas. And so my wife will like this. She'll get it. Red bell peppers and blue cheese. Stuffed olives. That's what's remaining on the on the board. And so I just want to announce that I've traded my fifth round pick for next year's fourth round. Okay.
[69:30]You're trading. I will not be. I will not be choosing. It's crazy. He's going to be able to do that for a couple more rounds if we do the math correctly. I mean, well, with the good fortune that has fallen to me, I'm going to triple up on cheese and do the blue cheese stuffed olives. And I am going to be the leading. I'm going to be the cheesiest charcuterie board. That was the second most hated thing on the text chain. You know what? I'm not an olive guy, but blue cheese stuff. We didn't know. We didn't know they were blue cheese stuff. I think we need to go back. If they were olives, I would have taken them before my second fruit if it was just straight up olives.
[70:00]But not with the blue cheese in it, huh? No. Listen, guys, I got bad news for you. Blue cheese olives. You might as well take that with a little lean because that is the Jamarcus Russell of this draft. That is one of the worst picks of all time. Nobody likes it. Purple drink. Okay. Nobody likes olives with blue cheese inside. There's too many wacky flavors going on. No, it's no good. Okay. They're pretty good. I think I would rather have some, you know what? Dark chocolate. Let's get some dark chocolate on there. All right, Rob, you got one more pick and then we're going to leave one undrafted loser
[70:30]here. All right. Next pick. I am going to take, guess what? Red bell peppers. Red bell peppers. Let's switch it up. Aaron's going to get Aaron. Who is the Mr. Irrelevant? Sugar snap peas. Sugar snap peas. This is the Brock Purdy of our draft. Now, I have already declared if I had my wish, it would be. Dark chocolate on my charcuterie board. Okay. What would you guys pick? I did propose on the way out of Byerly's Luns that maybe we could add a couple pieces of chocolate. Denied. Denied.
[71:00]We might have to cut that part out. You know what is really good? To have some sort of spread like a fig jam or something like that. Oh, we've got a fig jam before. I believe I've sent you pictures. What else would you guys have added? If you could have added three or four additional picks, what would you have added there? Man, that goes without saying. It's insane what they did. A baguette. It almost sounds like somebody is going low carb. I wish it were me. I would have added a second salami, like a capicola or something, like a dried salami
[71:35]and like slice it like a little thicker than people are comfortable with because like once that's out there at room temperature, it's so greasy and delicious. That's what I'm about. Love it. Guys, guess what? That's the draft. An excellent draft. An excellent. I can't wait till. The season when we figure out how we all did. I can't. I can't wait till this episode comes out. We get all sorts of text messages about what we missed. Can I just say, hey, guys, don't text us. Please text the back line.
[72:00]802-277-BECK. We don't have any messages. We have no messages. I've made a terrible mistake. All right. Can I just say this? Us married guys, imagine telling your spouse you want to go to buy stuff to have a draft for charcuterie board. Can you imagine something they would say no faster to than that? My wife would be like. I think it's fun. That's not fun. Yeah. No, that's the point. You're fun. Yeah. My wife would be like, no, you have to organize your closet or whatever they say. I'm not really listening. We might be a music podcast.
[72:30]I can't recall. It's time for ice cubes. It's time for nobody's favorite part of the show. Let's talk about the album. Let's talk about the album more quietly, maybe. Oh, yeah. For no reason. Don't worry about it. Listen. I've only got four more hours of this that they've got to listen to. Don't say that. It's history would show that we're. It's history. It's history. do for another while we are talking for about america's most wanted by ice cube now listen here's the deal ice cube mad at nwa contract dispute leaves goes to new york this is his
[73:03]first album in new york uh he wanted to collaborate with dr dre from nwa but it was actually nixed by the label and easy he said no we're not gonna let you do that so he hooks up with dr dre's cousin or jinx and then because he's on the east coast he's able to get with the bomb squad and he talks about i mean imagine doing this they're digging through crates looking for beats can you imagine doing that with ice cube and the bomb squad right you'd be like well whatever we're working on is going to be one of the greatest songs of all time dangerous right oh just crazy and uh this is this
[73:33]album is kind of ice cubes it really is like when you listen to it he's talking about institutional racism he is talking about la being a racial powder keg this is two years before rodney king uh and then he goes after people he doesn't like he's going after arsenio uh he's talking about how he's most wanted seems to take glee when they're arresting black uh uh when they're arresting black suspects that's why it's called america's most wanted and i think a lot of people nowadays if you talk about ice cube i mean i'm sure my kids know him better as an actor right but you show
[74:04]when you listen to this album you realize ice cube might have been the most important part of nwa i mean and that's with dr dre like he is he is so strong on this album the rhymes the lyrics everything is so great and you know what he doesn't talk about it's like he's talking about on this album nwa yeah not once yeah he doesn't fire one shot at that and after this they came out after him and then i recommend go listen to the song no vaseline by ice cube to reply it's an
[74:33]all-time ethering big time i will say this in the past i have tried to choose the songs around the use of the n-word i couldn't do it on this album so just that's right just to give people a heads up if you want to hear quite a bit of it but let's get into it we're starting with better off dead do you think now i love this start by the way it is ice cube getting sent to
[75:00]in prison going to the electric chair do you think biggie got some inspiration from this it's like a lot of the gangstrap albums from this era started with some sort of not skit but some sort of intro right yeah i gotta say this the end of this album is going to be a listen to his last words fuck all y'all switch what a good bit right fuck all y'all and then somebody just says switch i love it next song the n the n-word you love to hate
[75:32]is the song is all about how people don't like ice cube and i think what's the chorus on this he's saying like fuck you ice cube right right and when he came up with that he thought it was so brilliant and everybody in the studio is like what are you doing you cannot do a rap song where the the chorus is fuck you and he's like no i think this is this is what it's going to be about how everybody hates me so much turned out to be one
[76:03]of the big hits on the album it's crazy next up aaron the third track you want to guess don't try to apprehend him is it a titular track it's a titular track titular track i apologize rob if i wasn't listening or if i missed this this album comes out is this before the riots post rodney king two two years before that's wild it is from 1990 uh it is from 1990
[76:32]we listen to this voice listen to this flow i just love it i love this album you can listen to this album in headphones i thought it was fun uh next up what they hit in foe uh this is a minute and 30 second long track one thing on this album is that he had live guitar and bass on this song there were some
[77:03]songs on here we had live instruments playing along what's that can you turn it down just a little i can't really hear you over the music right now okay i can't tell a lot of this it is a loud fucking album but that's that's the bomb squad look at the look at the look at the the wave files look what they look like on my computer they're all like max aaron i was listening to this through the bluetooth record player on the upstairs the last uh yesterday and today you know what i've realized i might need to get a better
[77:31]record player with better speakers right the $60 target record player just doesn't work for like albums with bass or like if you're trying to get more out of the music i don't think it works no you need to take those $80 shoes you got on now and you know that record player and get up to the top of the music and you're like oh my god i'm gonna get up to the top of the music alan al and l what is it i gotta upgrade you think huh you gotta upgrade them yep you gotta get up there oh so so this is i'm just gonna tell you this is the start of a journey so do you guys
[78:00]get like a like a really nice turntable and then i mean i don't know enough like you have to get big speakers aaron do you get little fancy speakers that connect with what's what's the setup i i now just have i have one sonos speaker so i'm not even like a i'm not a hi-fi you know person like i don't have a subwoofer but like i've got a decent decent enough sonos speaker this album i listened to in the car um which i think is a pretty good car album um we already discussed my car adventures from this week but what if you lived in a place with somebody you're not married to and you didn't share a bank account what would you buy
[78:34]for a record player and i would buy the auto audio technica uh whatever mine is it's not it's not that spendy and then i mean like a single speaker is like i think bows makes them too like one speaker built-in stuff is probably enough for you know i do have a we can do a quick russell's advice corner here yep we're going into the corner i need to go to the corner we're hitting all the sound clips you were you were talking to rob about uh if you didn't share an account or that
[79:01]type of thing i may have my first shared account oh it's not a bank account now i am a member of lifetime lifetime of the gym upstairs remain also a member and she does a bunch of research and finds out we can get a better deal if we're on the same page and we can get a better deal same account and she could get upgraded to a better better level where she can go to better gyms and everything if we have a shared account i may or may not have gotten bullied into having a shared gym account wait lifetime has you there's not just one lifetime membership there's tears
[79:35]get a better membership to that there are tears russell do you think there's a chance like the fast pass at the uh at the disney knows a lot about that type of thing right russell yeah russell have you ever heard about finn doming finn doming have we done this before we discussed this like a hundred episodes ago for others they like to treat it like a game i don't get it some love boiling up rubber sheets
[80:04]or people like aaron yeah they love sniffing feet they're kinks they're kinks rob will explain oh russell this brings us to tonight's kink they're kinks they're kinks but we'll never shame finn doming what look it up yeah forgot that too uh finn doming russell is where men love it when women spend their money oh okay go on twitter and do hashtags finn dom and it's just
[80:32]women be like which one of you fucking pay pigs wants to buy me lunch and guys are venmoing her and pay failing her like crazy because what's good listen for some guys it's a scrambled channel 99 for some people it's buying a beautiful woman lunch look up finn dummy doming is one of the funniest things i've ever seen russell is it possible that you in fact enjoy spending money to get her up to a platinum level so she can play tennis or whatever you can do i did everything to avoid this conversation for weeks because it just seems more calm like the
[81:02]you don't even want to know how annoyed i was when i had to stand in a lifetime and talk with like the person at the desk for like 45 minutes i was like i'd rather just pay like i'll give you like $2,000 if we could just never deal with this again right like i don't want to sit there with the hour trying to figure out all this bullshit but here's you mentioned venmo rob now the real question is the upstairs roommate is on my account do i send a venmo request monthly for this fee do i just have to pay the fee how do you how do you work these types of fees do not send her
[81:35]i'm being serious right now i like to joke and cause trouble i am serious do not send a venmo request how much accounting are you willing to do here i know russell yeah just this is the way it is russell so i've just i've just i've just bitten off another gym membership that i yeah oh you actually have russell i mean are you feels feels like there might be a way to reap the benefits of this gym membership russell yeah it just seems like this is this is going to
[82:03]benefit you yeah are you implying i should be working out more aaron that's not what i was saying i think it's what you should be saying we're gonna switch we're gonna switch people right now i'm gonna be very clear we're switching people yeah if jenny said to me okay oh i'm gonna use your money and buy tons of brand new panties i'd be like oh yeah let's go baby let's buy those panties it's new panty time let's go okay oh they're big and tan
[82:30]you can't fade me not big that's the wrong word i meant mac do you know if you can withdraw a venmo request or not i didn't know i was that was thrown off here like i don't really know other than a slower beats per minute i don't know if i know what's an old school beat about this one it's kind of an old school rhyme scheme i guess i think that's what it is more than just the rhymes yeah you're right this is where the album starts to take a real turn
[83:02]with the misogyny that just becomes distracting and there's a lot of righteous anger on this album that is rightly placed but you the degree to which he goes out of his way to be angry at women that's why i think that's why i think it's a really good song to be honest with you yeah i think it's a good song to be honest with you yeah i think it's a really good song to be honest with you yeah i think it's a really good song to be honest with you yeah i think it's a really good song to be honest with you yeah i think it's a really good song to be honest with you yeah i think it's a really good song to be honest with you yeah i think it's a really good song to be honest with you yeah i think it's a really good song to be honest with you yeah i think it's a really good song to be honest with you yeah i think it's a really good song to be honest with you
[83:31]yeah i think it's a really good song to be honest with you yeah i think it's a really good song to be honest with you yeah i think it's a really good song to be honest with you yeah i think it's a really good song to be honest with you
[84:01]yeah i think it's a really good song to be honest with you yeah i think it's a really good song to be honest with you yeah i think it's a really good song to be honest with you yeah i think it's a really good song to be honest with you yeah i think it's a really good song to be honest with you yeah i think it's a really good song to be honest with you yeah i think it's a really good song to be honest with you yeah i think it's a really good song to be honest with you yeah i think it's a really good song to be honest with you yeah i think it's a really good song to be honest with you yeah i think it's a really good song to be honest with you yeah i think it's a really good song to be honest with you yeah i think it's a really good song to be honest with you yeah i think it's a really good song to be honest with you
[84:31]yeah i think it's a really good song to be honest with you yeah i think it's a really good song to be honest with you
[85:01]yeah i think it's a really good song to be honest with you yeah i think it's a really good song to be honest with you
[85:31]yeah i think it's a really good song to be honest with you yeah i think it's a really good song to be honest with you
[86:01]I get it. And I know he was playing his role and he did it right. But like, who's going to play his music? That's true. That's a great point. Endangered Species. This is with Chuck D. Now, this is awesome. This to me. Well, I just think I didn't. I actually did not know that this album was recorded in New York. So the whole time I'm listening to it going like, well, this is not a West Coast album in any way. And it's because he's using the public enemy sound. So then when Chuck shows up and you've got Chuck and Ice Cube on the same track, you know, that's a historical doc.
[86:36]You can't help but listen to him. Chuck D is an extra man on this album. Boy, he is. I heard him. Gangster's Fairy Tale. And Russell, you know what this feature is? What is the feature? Beat Little Russ. And this is Annie's dream. No, I was wondering. I don't know if I had time, I would have gone through this and we could have gone through. I'm not sure that all of these are fairy tales. Like Humpty Dumpty. Humpty Dumpty, Jack and Jill, the dude with the candlestick.
[87:03]Some of these might not be fairy tales. It might be, I don't remember what the other ones we talked about once before. Hobgoblins, of course. Nursery rhymes. Yeah. And again, I'm just going to say it again. You said Humpty Dumpty. And I want to make this message clear. And I ask everybody to spread this. Humpty Dumpty, nothing in it makes him look like an egg. There's nothing in the poem about him being an egg. Yet every depiction is him being an egg because the actual story is horrifying when he realized that he's not an egg. Rob. Do you have any thoughts on Little Red Riding Hood and Little Boy Blue?
[87:32]What is Little? Oh, didn't he have a horn? Is that Little Boy Blue? I thought he put his thumb in the pie or something. No, that's Jack Horner. Are you serious right now? I don't know. I thought he put his thumb in the pie. Little Boy Blue had a horn or a shoe, something like that. This song got them sued by Mr. Rogers. Oh, no. Wow. In his crack legal team. In the neighborhood, they sued Ice Cube. Wow. And they had a bid. They had a bid of In the Neighborhood at the beginning.
[88:01]Now, you didn't hear it on this version because Mr. Rogers, they gave Mr. Rogers five cents for every album they sold. And eventually, after the first 2,000 pressings, they took that part off. If you have that album, if you have America's Most Wanted, and there's a tiny Mr. Rogers bit, you're sitting on a goldmine, Russell. You could buy a new record player with that kind of album. I'm only out for one thing. This is featuring Flavor Flav. Now, this song is two minutes and 10 seconds long. And apparently, this is one of the last to record because it was almost impossible for them to. Find Flavor Flav.
[88:30]They did not know who Larry was. I know Matt doesn't like. I like Flavor Flav. There's something about his sound. I enjoy it. I like Flav. Yeah. I think he's important. You can't have hip hop without Flavor Flav. So, Aaron, your Sonos speaker, is that a wireless speaker or is that a connected speaker to your turntable? It's both. It's connected to my turntable with an aux cord. And then it's wireless if I want to play from my phone. Gotcha. So, it does both. Russell, are you looking up the price, Russell? The price of this whole living room?
[89:00]We got the chair. We know that's like seven grand. Right? We got the turntable. It's way less than the chair. It's way less than the chair. Remember how expensive that chair was? You know, I would have probably remembered that better if Rob would edit the previous episode and let us listen to it before we record the next episode. If you notice, I don't have the Instagram results from the last poll because I have not edited that episode. Get off my dick and tell your B to get over here. The skit at the end.
[89:30]I don't know. The drive-by. It's a skit. I'm going to skip it. Rolling with the lynch mob. They didn't. So, Ice Cube says he didn't bring a hype man to New York. So, he kind of got these guys together that would perform with him and call him the lynch mob. So, this was not his, like, regular crew. He just found some dudes. Yeah, kind of. I didn't realize that. I think he went back out to L.A. Oh, this is what it was. He went back out to L.A. And they had. They had them record, like, sounds of them saying yeah and stuff to not the music.
[90:03]And then they went back and cut it into the music later. So, you can hear them. Sometimes they're, like, offbeat and stuff. It's because they weren't actually listening to the music when they said. It's very strange what's going on. Who's the Mac? One of these motherfuckers is different. Guys, did we bring the term back Mac-ing? When's the last time you said that you Mac-ed on somebody? At some point. Listen to that. At some point in the song, you're that West Coast G-fuck that. The snake that Aaron's talked about before.
[90:31]Yeah, this is it, yeah. This was the one part where it kind of brought me back to that Dr. Dre album we listened to probably two, three years ago. And some jazz flute. Like, did you get the jazz flute in there? I was actually going to look up and see if that was the same dude who was on Who's the Boss? Like, how many West Coast gangsta rap albums have different jazz flute players? Probably not that many, right? Did you guys notice the sound, where the sound clip was from at the very beginning of the song? One of these motherfuckers. It was from Humpty, wasn't it? Oh, man. It seems like maybe somebody listened to it. Somebody listened to the episode, and they learned a little something.
[91:02]No, you can hear him say straight gangsta back. Yeah, I know. He knows the song. And you learned that from the Rob and John show, a very popular podcast. I haven't listened to it. Never heard of it. It's got dozens of downloads, hopefully by now. The flute player is not the same as the one we've heard before. This is a guy named Vincent Henry, so not the same dude that was on Who's the Boss? It's a man's world. Now, this is a song with Yo-Yo, where they're going back and forth. I gotta say, I love this song.
[91:32]Any time there's a woman rapping about how small a guy's dick is, I love it. I think I'm getting finned on somehow. I like this beat, too. The next song, Ice Cube said, "Hey, I wanted to show everybody I could flow." Our final song on the album, "The Bomb." The spurs were ignored, and Hugh listened to the bomb. Right now, he's planning a fun fire that'll kill thousands. He's got a bunch of friends, and he's got a bunch of friends.
