T. Rex: Electric Warrior (1971)

[00:00]Now, okay, a couple of announcements. I have three announcements to make. Number one, we are on the third episode. We are into the Jedi Strikes Back. No, Jedi. Return of. Return of the Jedi. We are in the Fifty Shades Freed. Okay, my favorite ending to a trilogy. All right. But it's episode four of season two. But it's our third of our season two. Wow. S2E3. Wow, I can't believe it. That's crazy, Aaron. Number two, last episode, you did not think the episode was slowing down,

[00:31]so I never showed you the surprise I have. Okay, so that is on the table for this episode. Can't wait for that. All right. Is that because John from Edina, he wasn't available yet? He's calling in later to get the surprise? He's calling in later. You couldn't get a hold of him? Number three, I have so much good information during the about this album and songs of this. We cannot have long rolling goings. We need to keep the rolling goings short. Because I will talk a lot during this album about T-Rex. Okay, and I have a number of things that I think you guys are going to find

[01:00]very interesting. And you can guess which part you thought I found so interesting. You can see if you can pick it out. So that is the announcements. Okay, we will continue. The fact that they essentially just stole the Rolling Stones sound. I went to, I used to go, you guys ever go to summer camp as a kid? I would go to summer camp. And when we had announcements, there was a song they would sing when we would hear announcements. You guys want to hear it? Please, Russell. I would love nothing. Announcements. Announcements. Announcements. Announcements.

[01:30]A terrible death to die. A terrible death to die. A terrible death to talk to death. A terrible death to die. Announcements. Announcements. Announcements. A terrible death to die? I don't know. That's what we would sing. Russell, what kind of camp? Russell, can I ask you this? Were you running through tires and doing monkey bars? You might have been at an Al-Qaeda training camp. Okay, I just want to warn you. That sounds like you were at an Al-Qaeda. Al-Qaeda training camp. Wow, that's crazy.

[02:00]And they have a lot of those in Minnesota, surprisingly. Russell's like, the camp ended when some people came in and made me get naked in a pyramid. You guys remember that? Where they put the... Oh, yeah. They put the chairs. Okay, naked in the pyramid. Maybe not the funniest joke ever. I don't know. I mean... I signed up to go to Angel's training camp and I accidentally ended up at the Al-Qaeda training camp. I thought it was the American League. It was a clerical error.

[02:30]I didn't look past the AL. I was like, fine. And then there's a whole bunch of stuff behind AL. We get one more listen and it's from Langley. We're like, yes, somebody's listening to us. Nothing like Rob setting our comedic tone as an Al-Qaeda running joke. Why wouldn't we, right? Thanks, Rob. Once again, naked human pyramids. Al-Qaeda running through those tires. I mean, they had a crazy training camp. I got to see their 40-time Al-Qaeda shuttle run. No, no. We got to move on. Thank God. Anyway, that's the end of announcements.

[03:00]Announcements, Russell, what a terrible death that I had. I will be pulling you singing that and making it a sound clip for this show. So anytime I have an announcement, I have something to play. That's my number one draft in new sounds that I'm going to make. Starting soon. In 2020, four friends decided to listen to every one of the greatest 500 albums as decided by Rolling Stone magazine. This resulted in a text chain that celebrated the music, excoriated the order, and led us to making this podcast. We are far from experts, and we promise to do almost no research, all opinions are our own, unless you disagree. Please sit back, way back,

[03:32]and enjoy Beck Did It Better. We are all the way up from album 188. And from 1971, we have the album Electric Warrior, which was sung by Raiden. Raiden wins. Oh, you get it. No, that's... Guys, you'll never guess who on Mortal Kombat sang Rock You Like a Hurricane. Who was that? Scorpion? Scorpion. Get over here. Toasty.

[04:01]Oh, sorry. It's T-Rex. Oh, wait. I screwed up my joke. Oh, sorry. It's by Trex. Oh, I'm sorry. I mean T.Rex. I used to judge people who would pick Sub-Zero over Scorpion. I was a Scorpion guy. Sub-Zero all the way. I'm playing Mortal Kombat with you, and you pick like Johnny Cage or Sub-Zero. I'm judging you as a person and a game player. Wow. You know what I always pick? Kano. Said nobody. Nobody wanted Kano. The guy who ripped him into a ball? Yeah, nobody wanted Kano. He had the coolest one

[04:30]where he ripped out the heart, but nobody wanted him. Now, Russell, you want to guess what move I spammed when I was Johnny Cage because I thought it was funny. What's that? Where you'd crouch down and punch him in the nuts. That was his special move. You'd do the splits and punch the person in the nuts. It was great. Rob, we need to up the energy on this significantly. This is going to be a disaster. We got to change what we're doing. This is more like The Godfather or the third one? Oh, no. This is T-Rex 2. This is going to be Rise of Skywalker. The third one just sucked. Is it time for the surprise?

[05:01]No, guys, we cannot pull the surprise plug this early. Listen, let's turn on the radio. Let's turn on the radio. We're going, you know what, K-Rob? It had a lot of songs I didn't like, so we're going back to K-Rob. And here we go. What's up, everybody? Welcome to K-Rob. K-R-O-B. You know, a lot of people are saying, what's going on with Aaron? What's going on with Matt? And the answer is, I don't care because I'm obsessed with him. Russell's apartment being too hot. Oh, yeah. Well, it's 6.33.

[05:30]Russ comes back to his place. It's an oven. Somebody turn up the heat. Oh, yeah. Well, the thermostat's set to only 76. That is normal. So Russ says, why is it hot? Then she says, was you wrong when you're gone? The heat wasn't on. Not on. Not on, Russell. You're wrong.

[06:00]Russ, you're wrong. While you're gone, the heat wasn't on. Now when he leaves the home, she's tracking him on her phone and she's freezing. She's gotta turn the heat up, oh, yeah. Then she gets an alert that Russell is gone. He's leaving work. That's the signal. She turns on the thermostat

[06:31]and she says, Russ, you're wrong. While you're gone, the heat wasn't on. Russ, you're wrong. While you're gone, the heat wasn't on. Guys, when you want to hear about the greatest albums of all time, I will never stop making songs about Russell's hot apartment. But you're wrong. I cannot do it. I gotta say, props, free maturity.

[07:00]I thought you were gonna rhyme. Alert was squirted. And you didn't. Oh, Jesus Christ, Aaron. That's the only shit I've ever heard. What are you doing? What are you trying to do? Trying to get the internet. Don't, no. Aaron, don't do that. Be Aaron. Don't be somebody else. This is the second week out of three weeks where I've gotten pushback about doing the podcast. I've never gotten pushback on The Upstairs Roommate and it's two out of three weeks where I've gotten pushback I don't know if, Rob, I could be wrong, but The Upstairs Roommate may have sent messages

[07:31]through mutual connections that said, does Russ really have to be on this podcast tonight? Listen, I really didn't want to do this. Oh, no. I really didn't want to do this. And I wasn't out of respect. Okay, out of respect to you. And I wasn't sure how this was gonna go. I was not going to play the text I got tonight. But now, as it has been brought up, okay, we will be playing the text to the Bex line that I got from a phone that's inside the apartment currently. Is this the surprise? Can we give

[08:00]Russell Hall pass to be later tonight? This is somebody calling to beg to give Russell a hall pass. So I said, it's not up to me. Okay? I blame Darren. Almost immediately did that. A coward. Okay? Oh, no. Don't read that one. Don't read that one. The next message I get, okay? Oh, no. Which made me insanely jealous. No. I need to see it before Rob close your eyes and just listen. We just got home. He needs to change

[08:31]and make sure I am happy before going downstairs. Now, Russell, first of all, don't ever change. Okay? We love you the way you are. We think you're great. To be clear, I record downstairs. Kudos to you, Russell. Right. No, not right. That's a swordsman. Yeah. He needs to make sure I'm happy. That's a good life you're living. Russell, I would have delayed the podcast for you. My point is, is this is two out of three weeks where I've got pushback on. You know, now that it's summer out,

[09:00]people like to go out. You don't want to stay at home. You want to go do new things. And this idea of coming back at like 9, 9.15 on a weekend, it might be dying. I'm just saying, you know, this thing is hard. I know. Rob, Rob pushed a limit with the Rob and John show. And if Rob would have done this about this week, it might have been Elfine. It might have been the end. I'm just giving you a warning. I agree with you, Russell. The Rob and John show was, it was the beginning of the end of the podcast. I agree with you. I mean,

[09:31]this truly is difficult. This started when there was nothing going on in the world. And now our lives are picking back up. And I, I know, I think you guys stayed way too late. I know. I agree with you. Single Russ was much better and much more willing to do it. Oh, no. Wait a minute. No. No. It was much more fun in the podcast. Had much more fun with it. No, that was not the point. Listen, let's get right into, let's, guys, I've got, listen, I, I've got, no, Rob, listen, listen, I had an experience. This,

[10:01]this, I was with a kind of a friend doesn't, doesn't know anything about the podcast. And we had a few friends together and these were people I wasn't going to tell the podcast, tell them about the podcast. But they started talking about like their favorite podcast and it took like every inch of me not to be like, you know, I'd use audacity. I've got this mic. Like, do you guys ever come across it where people start talking about podcasts and you're like, dude, I've done 200, 200 episodes, but I can't tell anyone. Do you guys ever, does it ever happen for you or not?

[10:30]Oh, I've got, at my school, kids are, there's a whole class where they just do garage band to make songs. And you've got to act like an idiot. I'm like, oh, God damn. I've made, I, I, I mean, I got a whole song about Russell's hot apartment. I mean, these kids would love it. And for me, it's only at work. Like at work, I have to be like, oh yeah, you listen to podcasts. That's, that's fun. But I, I'd like any, most other acquaintances, I will tell them I'm on a podcast and then I send them an episode and then I never hear from them again. No,

[11:00]you don't have to worry about them ever listening again. It's actually a good way to get people out of your life. I've done that with people I don't care for. Yeah, I've lost all my friends for it. Listen, okay, this album's by T-Rex. You know that there's one guy who's got a fetish for dinosaurs. No, I'm not going to do that again. But you know, there's one guy who has a fetish for dinosaurs and he's probably like, oh wow, you're so hot. You're making me as hard as a Diploracus. What? Diplodocus. It's Diplodocus. Okay. Yeah, what's a Diploracus? No, I didn't write down

[11:30]a bunch of dinosaur names. That joke was Diploracus? Is that what you said? I have, guys, actually, I have three guys here. Oh my, a saurus. That was never a good joke. I, and that was, I mean, really, like I'm supposed to get insulted by that joke. I have three guys here who are going to now tell me one other song on this album besides Bang-a-Gong, parentheses, get it on. Listen, I've got Matt in Minneapolis. Matt, how are you doing? Good, Rob. You know, I just was thinking, you know, you're dirty and sweet. So thanks for having me

[12:00]on the podcast. Wow, I can't wait to hear where all these quotes are from. So many different songs to choose from on this album. I got Russell in Minnesota. Russell, how are you doing? Rob, we've talked about how you're built like a car, but I finally saw Dauber's up-close pictures of your hubcap diamond star halo. Oh. Oof. Hot dog flavored water, my dude. And I've got Aaron out in California now, Aaron recently started a business where he owns a gentleman's club. Gentleman's club is what we call it now. Where the women

[12:30]and men will say, well, let's say the women, the women, Joe Colley works, I realize, the women are dressed like aliens. Aliens. It's called Areola's 51. Oh, shit. Aaron in California, how are you doing? I tried so hard not to laugh at that. No. Listen. Take me to the VIP room. I know that this song is not technically on this album and this might be one of those British things where the best single was not on the album, but this is my one chance

[13:00]to tell you, Rob, you may think you're a champ, but you're nothing but a raw ramp. Let's talk about T-Rex. Wow. Wow, Aaron. That was beautiful. You cannot give me oral sex. That's what they'd be saying at Areola 51. All right. Guys, anything else? Rob, if I were to spend an evening at Areola 51, would I be wearing my blue sunglasses? Oh. Or my white sunglasses? You gotta wear the white sunglasses. You just got back in for fishing. Okay? You don't want to go home and see that kid.

[13:30]You gotta go to Areola 51. Next up to the stage, it's Bleep Blorp. Bleep Blorp. She's like candy because she's so sweet but bad for your teeth. Bleep Blorp. Get up there. Drop your linen. Start your grinning, Bleep Blorp. It's been a while since we've heard a drop your linen and get your grinning ginger or whatever. Stop whining. Whiffing and start sniffing. Let's go. Aaron, he has never done that. That was filthy. Rob has never done that. Is that not true? That was gross.

[14:00]Oh, okay. Yeah. Energy up. Energy up. Folks. No more tangling. Let's start dangling. Let's go. Who are you? What? What? Folks, next up to the stage, we have Spock. Spock coming up to the stage. The only emotion he feels is horny. Next up,

[14:32]come on down to the stage. E.T. E.T. Come on down to the stage. E.T. This E.T. is going to make you want to say touch bone. Oh. Okay. That's a good one. Very nice. Like Pete? Touch Pete? He'll get scared and make your neck go up on your E.T. Oh, yeah. Rob, do you think like the, the, the stripper play-by-play guy or whatever that, the P.A. announcer? Not a play-by-play guy. Do they, do they come up to like working minor league basketball?

[15:00]Yeah. Is it like a, you know, like you've got to work your way up? Is that like where on the totem pole is being the, the, the floor manager or whatever you want to call it at the, at the club? He screws it up. He's like, and now coming to the stage from Central Arkansas, 6'6", number 33, Scottie Pippen. It feels like they're all trying to get to Atlanta, right? Like it feels like they're trying to get to Magic City or the Gold Club and like that's where that's, you can't, like you can only get so far.

[15:30]Like if you're at the VU. Aaron, how many, how many adult clubs do you know? Three. He's an owner. He's, he's on the Facebook group. Right. I know the Deja Vu in Minneapolis and I know Magic City because of the, that's where the Williams used to go for wings. Yep. And I know the Gold Club because that's where Patrick Ewing used to go. That's where he broke quarantine in the bubble, right? To go to the strip club. Yes. Like that's one of the greatest strip club stories of all time. Lou Williams stories, we can't even get started on Lou Williams stories. That man has led a life.

[16:00]Ah, it's, now, now. Aaron, can you, can you imagine if like the first thing that popped up when people Googled you was Aaron broke quarantine to go to the Gold Club? Oh, that would be, yeah, that would be quite a story. Listen, can you imagine if you went to a strip club? Like quite good or quite bad, Aaron? It's just fun. All publicity is good publicity. That's, that when our podcast breaks big, that's what's going to matter for us. Can you imagine, oh yeah, we're going to break big and somebody's going to listen to 188 episodes to hear our bit

[16:30]on alien strippers. I don't think so. You guys, you guys know, I'll do it, whatever, why not? Aaron and I have a strip club story together. It's true, we've been there. Wow. Actually, Aaron wasn't, no, this is a different one, Aaron. This is not the one, this is a different one. Now, was Aaron stripping and you saw him? No, I came to visit Aaron in San Francisco and they came out, we went out and we got a few drinks and it turns out right across the street was the oldest strip club

[17:00]in the United States. I believe it's called the Condor, if I remember correctly. Wow. It opens at like six o'clock or something. I'm a history buff. I got to go check out the Condor. Russell, Russell, when you say you're a history buff, does that mean you enjoy dating older women and that's why you're going to the oldest strip club in San Francisco? It's because you're hoping that there's maybe some dance or they're like, they're like up there flashing their social security card while they're, while they're, it's like, yeah, yes. Show me those Medicare benefits.

[17:33]Folks, next up, we got Dolores. Dolores, put your teeth in, get to the stage. Here comes Dolores. Folks, that would be a great stripper name in the city because there's Mission Dolores. Aaron was with his lovely bride, Aaron's wife at gmail.com. They decided, hey, we're going to let Russ go solo on this one. So I did a quick trip into the Condor and then I met them at the next bar, but that was my, that was my adult and I never really got a review. Like, what did you think

[18:00]of the Condor? I couldn't tell you. I think it was, it was in line with any other gentleman's club, I suppose. Can you imagine you go to a strip club and you see Scotty Pippen stripping? You'd be like, I knew we shouldn't have come on discount night. This was terrible. You know who's, you know who, now you guys would never believe who's at the strip club tomorrow night when we could have come here. Michael Jordan's kid. Sex so much. So much sex. Okay. No, the answer is a xenomorph.

[18:30]A xenomorph from the movie Aliens. Okay. I would probably say it would have been former Timberwolves Senator Nikola Pekovic, AKA the Big Pecker. Oh yeah. Nobody called him that. Nobody called him that. Oh, I know three complimentary movie guys that will dispute that in a heartbeat round. Go live in New York. Wait, there's three of them? There are three. I would confirm there are three, but I don't remember if we talked about it in the episode that Rob has not edited. We did. We did. We found out

[19:00]there was a third. Looking up other aliens to do strip club jokes. Not any good ones though. That's on me. Let's guys, let's get to our voicemail. Okay. Last time I called in, I asked about your favorite memories at St. Olaf. Pardon me. I said St. Olaf last time. And this time, I know you guys always mention going to Las Vegas

[19:30]and this only me is going to Las Vegas for spring break this year. And I was just wondering what are your favorite memories in Las Vegas? And do you have any recommendations? Thank you. Bye. Wow. I can't believe there's anything we haven't covered here, but well, I would reference Aaron's dad, too. And I would definitely say the first place you got to go is Carnival Courts. I mean, that's the number one recommendation, right? Carnival Court. Like I can't believe more people don't go there.

[20:00]It's an outdoor bar with no cover where there's going to be a lot of music. And this year, the band wasn't my favorite, but they were still there playing every night. And Aaron, to jump on the Carnival Court, a few other things about when you get to Vegas, drinks get very expensive if you're in, if you're in regular bars. This is a regular bar. You might pay, you know, more than you'd pay in Minneapolis or Northfield for a drink, but it's a regular bar. So you're not paying $25 for every drink you get. It's like normal prices.

[20:30]And there's big, hefty drinks. Oh, Russell knows that. Now listen, Russell, this year at the Carnival Court, I paid $0 for my drinks because Peter from St. Paul bought all of them for me. What a hero. A true hero. We loved him. He was great. His large ass knows no bounds. So there's, there's places to sit. There's places to stand. There's a band. There's live music. There's also, if you're into like something new and different, they've got the bartenders that are flipping kind of the flaming bottles. They're, they're pouring shots. It's,

[21:00]it's a great place. And I, sometimes there's couples there that want to have sex with you. That happens too. I would say my other recommendation is my, whenever, whenever you're going to Las Vegas, my favorite time in Las Vegas is right when the lights come on at the strip. So wherever you are, you're going to forget what time it is. You're going to forget what's happening. But if you can, if you can make it out, just walk out of wherever casino or restaurant or wherever you're in at whatever time the sun is about to go down and you can be on the strip and the lights are coming on, that to me, that's the magic of Las Vegas.

[21:30]I was also going to recommend going and checking out the, the shooting water show at the Bellagio where I got hit in the face with a beer bottle one year with a beer bottle in the face. I was not there for that. I missed that. That's crazy. Now, Russell did already mention the Mustang Ranch. Of course, I did edit that out. He said, edit that out. That's in Henderson, I believe, Rob. But I would highly recommend one of those. I would highly recommend, listen, you're at the carnival court,

[22:00]go right next door to that one that's by the link. Which one is that again that we always go into? Eras. Eras. They have video craps. They have craps where you can roll it. It's slow as craps and the video is so slow. Learn how to play craps. Get on that video craps. It is one of the best things you can do in Vegas. Craps, craps, craps. Play the pass. Play the pass line. Maybe a couple of combats. You are good to go in Vegas. Number one worst thing to do in Vegas, okay, jack off with a belt

[22:30]around your neck and die and your friends have to make an excuse to your family about what happened to you. And we've all made a deal in Vegas. If that happens to any of us, we will back each other up. My best memories of Las Vegas, I feel like this is now from a time that is forgotten, but my best memories are $10 tables at the Monte Carlo with U3, the Pleasure Princess, Principal, I mean, that Steve might have been there once. Joe. Joe. You know, like we had, like if you could sit down at a $10 table and play for who knows how long

[23:01]with your closest buddies, like who even cares if you're winning or losing, you're having fun. Can I just tell you, my favorite visit to Vegas is when I got to see Rosie. And of course, I am talking about little Rosie. Why do they call him little Rosie? I got to see him in Vegas. That was in 2020. We had an absolute blast. It was a great time. Okay, so first, so let's go through what we said. We said something about tables. We said something about the lights. We said something about the water show, getting hit with a beer bottle.

[23:30]And the rest of it was about, you should hang out with us. We're a good time in Vegas. Sorry, I could hear from Matt. I keep talking and Matt has not chimed in yet. I could hear from Matt. I mean, there's way too many, but like if you're a first timer, I would absolutely go to the all-you-can-eat crab buffet at the Cosmopolitan. Lovely. Guys, it's, when are you ever going to eat all-you-can-eat crabs? You know, for 40 bucks. And you can walk around with crab butter on your shirt for the rest of the night. And nobody's going to know. Guys, it's, fuck off about that. You know I was sensitive. I spilled crab butter. Hey, bros,

[24:00]we're going to build each other up, right? Uh, no. You didn't have to come clean them. It could have been anyone. We're going to tell every woman we run into, oh, he's got crab butter. Every dealer, hey, that guy's got, this guy's got crab butter on his shirt. And they would laugh. Oh my God. They would laugh and laugh. We did do that. Jesus Christ. It was kind of embarrassing for all of us, honestly. Hey, look at this guy I'm palling around with. He's covered in butter. Oh, well. You know what I think the key to Vegas for a first time goer? What's that? You got to just find what you and your group are into. If it's gambling, just go balls to the wall

[24:30]with gambling. If you want to go to shows, you go all in shows. If you want to find cool restaurants, they've got everything. You shouldn't let anyone else tell you how to have fun in Vegas. You got to find what you like and just embrace it and go all in with the stuff that you and your friends want to do, right? I would agree. Unless, again, that thing that you want to do, Henderson, Nevada. Oh, I was going to say. Actually, if you give them the code word Beck, did it better, you'll get 50% off your next service. Yep. But you have to leave a voicemail from the car ride home.

[25:01]Listen, the answer is do whatever. Russ is right. Vegas is the best. Especially if you go to the new strip club, Areola 51, where you... I thought I'd think of an alien, but I didn't. Rob, I actually heard they hired a new, very prominent speaker to do the announcements, the announcements, the announcements at that Areola 51. It's deep voice guy from the Boys to Men. Wow, girl. Well, what would he be announcing

[25:30]at that club? Stop your speaking and start to leaking. Stop saying that, Aaron. Please. You have to. Girl, stop your leaking. I'm going to start my gleeking. My gleeking? That doesn't even make sense. Oh, it does. I don't know. Okay, it does actually a little bit. We cannot keep this in. The alien you're going to want to put in is, I think it's Caitlin Lieb. What alien does she play? She was in the movie Total Recall.

[26:00]Oh, my God. Oh, man. You got us. We can't do this. We are not... Listen, we cannot... In the first 200 episodes, we cannot talk about the three-boobed alien. That has to be later in our run. As much as I love you, man, we got to move that on. Pretty sure this is the fourth or fifth time. Special surprise. Guys, the correct answer, by the way, what to do in Vegas, okay, is go out. They have an archaeology dig because recently I had a guy who... And he goes, hey, what is that? A double... Got to have the right button ready to go here. A double D-Rex?

[26:31]Oh. Was that the... Hey, we're finally done? S2E5 is when we get canceled? We did it. Double D-Rex. Short arms. All right. You know when Beck did it, he was like, that really got over the hump was season two, episode five. It was that double D-Rex joke, which really got him over that 200 listener an episode. Aaron, we're all going.

[27:00]How's it going with you? It's going good. Listen, we've been talking about... And remember, it's got to be short today because Rob's got a lot to say about T-Rex. It's true. Here's all I know. We don't usually talk scheduling on the podcast, but we've already been discussing. I want to let you guys know I cannot record next week. Next Saturday, because next Saturday I will be playing poker for the school fundraiser poker tournament. So, I need to know what... You are like the ultimate like PTA parent.

[27:30]You're into everything now, Aaron. It's the dumbest shit ever. Yeah. Right. I mean, I love it, except I feel like our PTA, the reserve is too big and we should be using it for capital expenses versus some of the other things we're spending it on. I'm concerned about that. You started it. All I want to know is who, what is my poker program? What is my persona? What do I need to do? I'm going into a poker tournament. Some of these people don't know me. What's my persona? Am I, am I... I have the answer. All right. Let's hear it, Russell. So, I love playing poker.

[28:00]I don't play that often. I used to play with buddies a lot, but I love being the bully. I love, I love coming in and like people are playing for dollars or quarters and immediately I'm just like 10 bucks. I just want to be the dick who like changes a fun, friendly game into like I'm pushing people around and being a dick. I want to control the game, Aaron. I think you got to be the guy at the PTA poker game that turns a fun, jovial game into like who the fuck is this guy rooting the game like Barney Big Nuts

[28:30]over here. Oh, I love it. Oh, that's so good. Okay. I like it. Matt, what do you think? I was going to say knowing you, Aaron, like from a personality standpoint, you're not going to want to like mix it up with the, the dudes who are trying to bully everybody. And so I would just, go like all in right away. See if you can like triple right away. And if you happen to lose out in the first two hands, like I'll just go drink over here and hang out with everybody. Aaron, you can get out of there and go like sit at a bar by yourself and then go home to your,

[29:00]your wife and child like four hours later and be like, ah, I made it to this. I made it to the second to the last table. That's not a bad, that's not a bad. Number one, what makes you think you're playing poker for a fundraiser? Is this at somebody's house? Is this something you purchased? Yeah, I purchased it at the auction in November. No, it's not someone's house. It's at a sound studio in West Oakland. And yeah, I don't know much about it other than that. I think there's food and drinks. I hope there are cigars. And yeah, I think maybe the get out early

[29:30]strategy is good. I've got another, another person you could be Aaron. You gotta be the guy who quotes rounders like on every hand. You've gotta like, I will not be the only one. I will not be the only one. You gotta be like, do not split. In my club, we splash the pot whenever the fuck I want. You know what though? We're dude, we're old. There will be plenty of guys who have not seen rounders there. Like they'll be like, I don't know what you're talking about. Take a poll. Take a poll. Say for my podcast, I gotta take a poll. That'll let the, what's the name of your podcast? Meanwhile,

[30:00]they get around the school. The two guys are still dressed like Beavis and Butthead who don't know who Beavis and Butthead are. You're right. Yep, that happened. You said take a poll. Oh yeah. Damn it. I'm sorry. So good. Now, Aaron, I have the correct answer, of course. Okay. The correct answer is weird glasses guy. Remember there's always those weird glasses guys in the World Series of Poker. Get those weird ass glasses and wear them. It would be a great bit to be weird glasses guy. Now you're going to a soundstage in Oakland.

[30:30]Is there a chance you're going to an orgy that will be filmed? This sounds like it is a porno setup. You are going to a porno studio. No. Okay. If it happens, I will share the footage with you guys first. Yeah. That seems unlikely. It's going to be mostly dads, but I don't know. Okay, guys. Who knows? Aaron sends you a file, a video file on a text message and it says, hey guys, this is a porno of me. No. You clicking that? You watching it once? No way. You're not watching it, Russell, just once? Just see Aaron laying tight?

[31:00]This would ruin too much of my, I've known Aaron for too long to ruin our friendship like that. Honestly, I feel like I would learn something. Like I feel like I could learn something, you know, I'd be like, oh. You know what I, where I may do it is if I catch another week of heat over doing the podcast, I might just watch events and I got to quit. That's too much. Can't do it. All right. That's it. I appreciate your suggestions. That's how it's really going for me. You could be the guy that like puts in the headphone. You're like, hey, this is a fun game and I'm going to be the weirdo who's got to take it super serious,

[31:30]puts in the headphones, has the glasses on. There's so many ways you could go with this. Don't ever stop clinking your chips. I got to be me. So, but I do feel like I'm going to take a bit of, I'm going to take a lesson from Matt, from Matt Damon, but not in the rounders movie. It's like, it's like, it's like in oceans 11 where I'm going to, what does it be likable, but not memorable, whatever it is. Like I wanted, you know, I like, I like Matt's suggestion to get out of there early. So I think I got to go in, I got to play it straight. I got to be fun to play with and then just try to like

[32:00]not make too many waves and get out of there before I, I'm sorry, John, I don't have the space. He chucked, he mucked it, took it down. He mucked it. That's it. I appreciate your, your thoughts. There's some joke there, Rob. There's some, there's some joke there Rob was going to say about a porn studio and fun to play with. I'm just trying to cut them off. I'm trying to, it's so hard for me to come up with that. I can't imagine what that would be. I was actually, what I was thinking is if Aaron goes to the bathroom, he'd come back and be like, that was a royal flush. The other thing you could do,

[32:34]Aaron, is be the guy who like shows up and they're playing Texas Hold'em and you're like, I thought we were playing Omaha. Like you could be like, Omaha is a much, you could talk about like how there's much better games like that. Yes. Hold'em is a game for like, you know, lose, losers. Like we could play a much, well, like let's play Omaha high low or something like that. It's like a real game. Omaha, like Hold'em has been pumped up by the media and the, the poker establishment is being a great game when it's a dilution

[33:00]of the real thing. You could also have like Doyle Brunson's super system book next to you. Like if you're just sitting there with like the book and you get your cards and you fucking open that book, you're like, ah, four, seven. I don't know. You bring in that fireplace. What is the book saying? What does the book say? You, you bring in a, a thing from your fireplace and you're like, ah, I misunderstood the email. Aaron, I'll buy, I'll buy you drinks

[33:30]the next time we go out. If you, at least one time during the day, you'll be like, technically you can't do that. Technically you have to raise. You can't say I call ever. Like if you do some sort of technical thing to be a dick about the game, I got, I got our next happy hour. All right. I appreciate that. I got to read to him. He runs this book. I got a week to get it done. Maybe I'll read it while I'm listening to Russell's rolling going. How's it rolling going with Russell? Well, to listen to it, Rob would have to send us a version of the podcast in enough time for us to listen to it before it's released.

[34:00]So I don't know if you'll get to do that, Aaron. I'm so busy. Well, you know why I'm busy? Russell is recently. I heard they discovered a new kind of dinosaur, a new kind of dinosaur. And this is, this is making some people pretty horny out there who like dinosaurs. You know what they, you know what kind of dinosaur they found? What's the kind of dinosaur? A Ceratopolis. A Ceratopolis? Ceratopolis. I feel like some of our listeners would have some of this. Okay. Don't. Edit out. Rolling going. I saw a celebrity tonight.

[34:30]Oh, Russell. I could either tell you the celebrity or we could play 20 questions, but I feel like 20 questions might be too long for this type of show. What do you guys think? Feels like you can't just reveal it. We got to have like, okay, here, here is, we'll give you 20 questions. 20 questions of the celebrity. I saw him at a restaurant in the north, in downtown Minneapolis. You guys got 20 questions. Let's, let's hear it. Let's let it rip. Is this person an athlete? Yes. Athlete is correct. Is it Nas Reed? It is not Nas Reed.

[35:00]That's too Aaron. You're terrible at this game. You could probably narrow it down a little bit more, but that's fine. Minnesota. Does the athlete play for a Minnesota team? No, no Minnesota team relation, Matt. Is the athlete, does, is the athlete still playing professionally? Athlete is not playing professionally. Did the athlete play an Olympic sport? Potentially played on the Olympic team. I wouldn't say they're known for an Olympic team, but potentially played on Olympic team. Yes. I think they did play on an Olympic team. Is a 15 left.

[35:30]Is the sport played inside? Yes. The sport is played inside. Oh, did this athlete come into your bathroom stall? No. Okay. Did not come into my bathroom stall. Okay. That narrows it. That narrows it down. I guess the way baseball was played inside when he was playing, that's true. Is the athlete over the age of 60? I would say no. The athlete is not over the age of 60. Did the athlete play basketball? The athlete was a basketball player. You are correct. You had 11 left.

[36:01]Did the athlete recently have to blame a translator for losing a ton of money about something? That's your weird he said it's basketball. Does the athlete have some sort of current Minnesota connection that we should be aware of? There's, there's no Minnesota connection. I was surprised to see them in Minnesota today. Okay. Nine left. Matt? I'm sinking. I'm trying to figure out where to go. Is the,

[36:30]did the person play for the Bulls? They did not play for the Bulls. Did I loan this athlete money? Okay. I don't know that Jeb is famous enough to make their list. It was not Jeb. We got to edit that out because that joke makes no sense to anyone. But it is funny. Our group of friends. It does to most people. It makes sense to probably 40% of our audience. So it's fine. Is this athlete a current

[37:00]television personality? Aaron, they are a current television personality. I like, I got an idea. Did this athlete go to Auburn? The athlete did not go to Auburn. You got six left. Did the athlete play at Duke? This athlete played at Duke. You are correct, man. Yes. You have five guesses here. Is this athlete from an athletic family? This athlete is from an athletic family.

[37:30]I got it. You have four guesses. You want to use a guess on it, Aaron? No, no, no, no. It's my turn now. No, I got to play with my teammates here. Okay. I think. What is another controversial athlete? Okay. How about this? Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, no. Would I want to sex this athlete in the club? If I went to the club, would I want to sex this athlete? We already know what to do. Why would you ask about Mutombo? I'm narrowing it down, Aaron.

[38:00]Would I want to sex this athlete at the club? We might have to delete this part out, but I'll say this. That is not correct, but I will say when the upstairs roommate and I walked past this athlete, I told the upstairs roommate, when we walked out who this person was, I figured out who it was. The upstairs roommate did tell me that, you know, a lot of tall people do like shorter women. And I looked at it. I was like, what does that mean? So we're thinking about six, seven, six, eight,

[38:30]like a man type. I think that's about right, Aaron. Is she talking about you, Russell? Do you think she's talking about you be tall? They were definitely talking about someone taller than me. I'm serious. I figured it out. Can I use my next guess? Let's hear it. Okay. Did this athlete acquitted yourself? Acquitted on charges. Okay. Of a crime he did not commit. He tried to find the killer, but he got pretty busy. You got two left. Aaron or Matt, you guys have a guess? Well, Aaron knows it. So I'll just waste my,

[39:01]did this person win a national championship while playing at Duke? They did win a national championship, Matt. They won one in Minnesota at the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome. One of two people. Aaron, you got a guess? Did this athlete endorse? No, you got a guess. You got a guess there. This is it. Oh my God. Aaron almost fucking blew it. Who's Grant Hill? The answer is correct. I was leaving a restaurant tonight. Grant Hill and his wife are walking in. Wow. Grant Hill. Is he doing the play-by-play for the two? She's arguably more famous than he is now

[39:30]because she's a a chart-topping gospel singer, right? I didn't know that, Aaron, but the Upstairs roommate did mention that Grant Hill's wife was a very beautiful woman. This is where it came up that taller athletes like shorter women. It got kind of weird when I heard that. I didn't know how to respond to that. But you're pretty tall. You're a lot taller than me. You know what? You know what I was thinking, though, Matt? I, you know, I'm not really one to get, you know, pumped. I don't want to bother a celebrity when they're out. They're getting dinner. That's just not who I am to like, hey, can I get a picture? Can I do that thing? And even when I was walking away, I was like,

[40:00]what could be a more unflattering picture than me next to Grant Hill? Like six, eight super athlete next to like Russ. It would be like, could you imagine how shitty I would look at that, Rob? Could you, like, if you were standing next to Grant Hill in a picture or how would you feel about yourself in that picture? Oh, it'd be terrible. Just like it would. Honest. Honestly, it would be like a like a cautionary tale. You know what I mean? Like could be what could have been in your life.

[40:30]It's like a goofus and gallant. You know what I mean? But it's me and Grant Hill. Now, Russell, I got to ask you this. If Grant Hill. Yeah. If you're like, hey, can you toss me the keys or whatever, right? Grant Hill chucks them to you. Do you immediately turn around and do a jumper to try to win? And you know what I mean? You pull a Christian later and immediately. That's what I would do every time he threw. I will say I may have put together a custom video of the NCAA tournament where I superimpose my face on Christian Laitner. There was a part of me that almost pulled that up on my phone. I was like, Grant,

[41:00]check it out, babe. Hey, I'm open. That's right. I forgot you did that. I was thinking you did that when you were like 15. I forgot that you did that a couple of weeks ago. Yeah, I was a grown man. To be fair, Rob, this is another reason why I was like staying up late, not, you know, not spending time with the upstairs roommate, meaning that's why they may be annoyed that I do spend time doing this podcast. So that may be. You got to learn to prioritize. Your late nights are with us, Russell. You don't get any late night time that's yours. It's either us or the upstairs roommate.

[41:30]That's it. He just wants to read his Hulk Hogan magazine. Do you think Grant Hill ever got mad at Lil Penny? Like. Kind of stole his spotlight, huh? Kind of. Yeah, he kind of did. Like, I feel like Grant Hill's like, well, I could have had a Lil Hill. Lil Hill. You know what I mean? Like. But you can't after Penny did it. You got to go big. Big Grant Hill. Hey, this is. Yeah, you Lil Penny. This is huge Grant Hill. And guess what? I'm on a video with Blackstreet now. Thank you. By the way. Check in. Oh, God.

[42:00]Oh, well. You're fine. Keep going. But I did want to say Grant Hill. I recently saw him on the news. He was talking about a new species of dinosaur that was discovered. And this dinosaur was a parodictule. Parodictule. What? That was a good one. I had one other thing I had to run by you guys. I took a flight last week. I went to Chicago. I took a flight and I had an experience that I haven't had before. You love the short flights. I love it. Russell's like getting on a plane. It was a longer than 30 minute drive.

[42:31]He's flying. No, I'm not driving to Chicago. That's insane. That's true. That's a crazy long drive. Good point. Matt, you fly for work. You're not driving to Chicago. No, you're right. You're right. Did you fly to Midway or O'Hare? Well, I flew to Midway the way there and O'Hare on the way back, but I did not realize and I almost went to the wrong airport on the way back. But here's the experience. Here's the experience I had on the way back. I'm sitting. There's three chairs. It's three by three on each side.

[43:01]I'm sitting on the aisle. I like sitting on the aisle. That would be my preference. And plane's pretty full. There's about two or three empty seats and middle seat's empty. Someone walks in. She walks to the back. She's in the middle and she looks at me and she goes, hey, could you move over? I would prefer to sit on the aisle. I'm claustrophobic. Do you guys move over or do you just say, no, hey, I'm going to stay where I'm at? No, I ordered this seat on because I prefer the aisle as well.

[43:31]So I'm going to stay in the aisle. She asked you to give up an aisle seat? She asked me to give up an aisle seat and she said, I'm claustrophobic. I don't want to sit in the middle. And she didn't say, she kind of said, will you move over? She just said, will you move over and sit in the middle? And you said this plane is mostly empty, right? No, it was all but full. It was all but full. There was maybe two empty seats elsewhere in the plane. I got to admit, I'm moving seats. I got to move seats. I would have to. I would be so mad about it

[44:01]and I would yell at you guys about it and I would be just, but I cannot, I would have to say yes. I can't help myself. I think I'm with Rob. I'd probably move over. In part because I don't want to, I don't want to know what comes next. If I decide I'm not going to move, and this person's going to be in the middle, I don't want to be around for what kind of behavior is going to go on. But at least, but at least you'd be on the aisle. You could lean into the aisle, lean away from her. And if it really got bad, you can get up and walk out really easily. That's true. You can't do that from the middle

[44:30]if she's pinning in. We're all claustrophobic on planes. Like it's a claustrophobic space. But this is a total breach of etiquette. This is a total breach of etiquette. I just like to say, I don't care how claustrophobic. Guess what? If you're claustrophobic, take some meds, you should have booked your flight earlier, right? You should have paid to get to see you. Or maybe take a half a gummy or so before you get on a plane. That's going to actually help or really enhance the problems that you have on planes. Thank you. It's 50-50.

[45:00]Rob, you can record this. I kept my seat. I kept my seat. Nice. I said I'm not moving. This is the seat I want. I'm not moving. What did she say to that? Was she okay with it? She asked me kind of a second time and I just said, no, this is, I'm going to stay where I'm at. And so she ended up, she went up, she asked one of the flight attendants. The flight attendant said, hey, go up to the front. We'll see. We'll see what we can do. They found her a seat on the aisle somewhere else. Now I'm sitting on the aisle and nobody's next to me

[45:30]for the whole flight home. You definitely won. Okay. What I learned. I did kind of feel like a dick. Speaking of people who are never dicks, Matt, how's it going with you? I feel like I learned something just like Rob learned stuff from watching me. I feel like I learned something just like Rob learned stuff from watching me. I feel like I learned something just like Rob learned stuff from watching me. We have sex, so that's great. It works out. That stuff doesn't work out. That's what, you know what? My wife is the same way. She does what she wants. And guess what? It always works out for her. It never goes the way I think in like my stressed out mind. Russell, did you see you land at MSP? You get off the plane.

[46:01]Did you see this person in any sort of transitory area where you couldn't say anything to you? I would be so nervous. God, I'd be sprinting off that plane. They ended up sitting in front, closer to the front of the plane. So I never had, to have a interaction with them again. All right. But normally you're, I'm kind of like, I don't like, normally I would just say, hey, maybe someone needs it. But then part of me in my head, it was like, this person might just say this every time. And maybe they're not, they're just being like, hey, I just want a better seat on the plane

[46:30]and I'll get someone to move over. So I just was like, no, I'm not going to do it. Russell. Good for you. Woman is insanely attractive. What do you do? Open toe shoes or closed toe shoes? Then I'm going to leave a message for our listeners. Something to check out on YouTube. It is heart was on the Howard Stern show recently. And a lot of these Howard Stern shows, they've got bands on. They'll play like four or five songs and they'll do the interview and play all these songs. I don't, you see them on YouTube, but I heard heart playing,

[47:00]going to California by Led Zeppelin. And there, I think Nancy and Ann Wilson are probably in their mid seventies. And they are, they are just killers. This, I have the utmost respect for these two as musicians. I just love their sound. It's, it's amazing. You must listen. Someone told me there's a girl out there. Wow. Loving her eyes and flowers in her head. Russell, that is so good. We listened to this, was this Led Zeppelin 4, I think, or one of them, right? Russell,

[47:32]that is such a good suggestion. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to poach your time, Matt. Nope, that's all right. Rob, I need the song Paper Crown. Oh, right. It's not just Juicy J either. Yeah, it's got Beck. It's important. Are you serious? This has Beck? You guys didn't mention that this song has Beck in it as well? I forgot. Wow. So, as you know, you can see that's, that's the picture you're talking about a couple weeks ago, Russell, where it was Brian Lake Bull.

[48:00]Okay, so we talked about my preference for the, kind of the quasi-uniform lifestyle of just having like the same stuff to wear to work so I don't have to think about it. Just keep it simple, right? So we talked about pants four or five, six episodes ago. Right, you were working out. I found some new pants. I found, you know, the perfect pants and it was, and it was whether to just have that one pair or because I like them so much, go with, you know, two or three more. Buy a bunch of them. I bought a bunch of them. Nice. Bits a bullet, bought a bunch of them,

[48:31]went to the tailor, pick them up in a couple days and then just wear the favorite pants of all time. Great move. Living that pants lifestyle, man. I would be too afraid that I'm going to lose too much weight in the near future. You know what I mean? Like I'm really going to get it together. Are they all the exact, all the exact same? All the exact same. Oh, I love it. Wow. Do you hang up in your closet next to each other? You get like a section of my pants. Oh, yep. I've got my nice closet here. Have you tried them all on? It's like, it's like sometimes I'll order a few new pairs of jeans and they're all like the same size or like the same company,

[49:01]but there may be different style and immediately there's like one or two I like and then one or two I don't like. Have you tried them all on, Matt? Is there any that were like something went wrong with this one or are they all good? Well, they're all the exact same model. Yeah. And so I'm not, yes, well, I did put them on when I needed them to get measured, but no, like I haven't put them to daily use yet. So I need to get them shortened because I'm short, you know, so I got to get the pants the right length. So they're at the tailor right now, but yeah,

[49:30]since we were keeping it short this week, I thought I'd just update everybody. You know, Aaron's wife at gmail.com gave me a really good recommendation and I looked at some and I went and tried some on because I found, you know, but they just weren't quite as good as the Travis Matthews pants. We're getting, this stuff, this podcast makes things happen. It really does. We bring people together. Yep. So that's, that's mine. Rob Brolingo, how's it going with you? Listen, uh, two things. I got two things. I can't believe you guys got my 20 questions. That was impressive. Oh, of course.

[50:00]I said, as an athlete, I knew right away there was a great chance that this person was an athlete. I missed some other ones. If we do like 18 more episodes, Rob will probably ask us a combined 20 questions about what's going on in our world. I think it was, when Matt asked if it was Duke, and then it was sealed for me. And I, when it wasn't Barkley, I was like, well, it's gotta be somebody else. I'll tell you what, when it, when I found out they were married to Heidi Klum, that's how, when it was sealed for me. I've been kissed by a rose on the wind. Thank you, Aaron.

[50:30]Uh, listen, speaking of not listening to you, okay, last episode, I noticed something very bad. I once again ignored Aaron. So I am now going to issue this week's, uh, apology. I did a better apology. The week, uh, last week, you ignored me. And now an apology. I think it was two weeks ago. Ah, okay. What'd you say? What'd you say? I mean, chances are it was last week too, but for betting here, last week, last week to the sequel.

[51:01]That's this week. You know what I mean? Like the sequel to last week is this week, last week, part three next week. All right. So here is the part where I ignored Aaron. And I feel like maybe I just did it again. Uh, let's play this. And I don't know I don't remember what's on this clip. The only time my hair kind of gets screwed up is if I cut myself and then I have to go out and say, Hey, would you please put a bandaid on the back of my head? Cause I can't see where I'm bleeding from. Would I love to see Russell have to go to the hairdresser? All right. So that is me ignoring Aaron.

[51:31]And the only reason I bring it up is that he did say something that felt very real to me, which is that when he shaves his head, he knows he cut himself. He can see the blood on his hands. Right. Okay. Okay. He doesn't know where the cut is because it is somewhere, somewhere back here. Nor how bad it is. Yeah. Yeah. And so he needs to go out. Now, Aaron, when you go out and ask your wife to put a bandage on your body, which is a wild statement, uh, do you,

[52:00]do you have said bandage? Have you opened it up? Is that out of the package? What, or do you like say, Hey, do I need a bandage or do you? Yeah, no, I'm usually, yeah. Cause I usually, I'm not near the band-aids when I'm shaving. So now I usually have to like walk. Okay. Wait a minute. I got to stop you. I got to stop you right there. And I hate to do this so fast on my rolling going. That's about you. Why are your band-aids not by the shaving? Where are the band-aids? The band-aids are in the hall closet and I shave, actually I shave right here next to where I'm sitting right now in the little utility sink.

[52:30]And because there's a big mirror there. Matt, you're a dad. I trust more than any other dad. Okay. For me, it's you, father time, Darth Vader, three best dads of all time. Matt, where are you keeping those band-aids? You know, how long is your arm? I mean, your arm might be about three feet. Probably within about two and a half feet of my spot of where I should. You're keeping them at the nudie bar. You have to keep the band-aids

[53:02]in the bathroom. Why are they in the hall closet? The hall closet is for, I was going to say, we don't have a lot of space in the bathroom. That's where the towels are. The towels are in there. They are band-aids. They do not take up a lot of space. You sound like Russell. I moved in. She made me throw away all my band-aids. We got a very cool, like a little welly tin of band-aids. I'll show you. I mean, I can't go get it right now because we're in the middle of a very important episode, but we got like a sizable tin of band-aids that doesn't just fit in any normal, you know, medicine cabinet in a bathroom.

[53:31]Russell, I'm going to go to you. What's the final decision? We're not having the band-aids in the bathroom or you get it? What are we talking about again? This is a special surprise. Aaron, this is going to be, last week, part three, next week's bit where Russell ignored Aaron. I can't wait. I at least have, I at least technically have like a chemical excuse for why it is not registering. Yeah. None of the rest of us do. Here's the thing. You're saying, should there be band-aids in the bathroom?

[54:00]Yeah. Yes. You keep your band-aids in the bathroom. Or, if you don't keep them there, I don't know where the hell you keep them. It should just have been the hallway, Russell. The hall closet. They're in the hall closet. Oh, no, I could see that. That makes sense. That is for, but, but if you, if you shave your head off and that's where you get cut. Yeah, but you know. Yeah. You're right. I should move a couple here into this cabinet. So, so you go out. So let me get this straight. You go out and say, honey, it's happened again. My head's bleeding. I don't know where. And she goes, yeah, it is bleeding. I need a band-aid.

[54:30]Then, one of you goes to the closet. You open it up where there should be Parcheesi. No, these are, like, Jenga. No, no, no. We got two different closets. We got one for, that's where Jenga's in one of them and then the towels and the band-aids are in another. There's one closet that's probably by the front door that's got, like, coats, games, winter boots, giant box of band-aids, steamer trunks, And then there's also a closet probably in between some bedrooms near the bathroom which has extra towels. It has extra stuff

[55:01]for the bathroom. It has the band-aids. I think Aaron's right. It's got to be in the closet by the bathroom. Russell's got it. So then you have to go get a band-aid and then she sticks it on the back of your head? Yeah. Wow. I can't see it. Like, I've got blood on my hand and it's really hard to look at the back of your own head. So, Aaron, you're saying your roommate helps you out when you need help if something goes wrong. Is that right? Yeah, 100%. Oh, let's talk about what my upstairs roommate did not help me out with today. Oh, no. Inject in my veins, please. Here we go. before we ran into Grant Hill

[55:33]and his talented, beautiful wife and we walked past them, we said hello, they let us walk through the door. It was a very good experience. We went to this restaurant, very nice restaurant. We, oh, hold on. We went to a jazz club quickly called Berlin. I highly recommend it. It's in the North Loop. Is that new? It's new, Matt. Yeah. I would love for you guys to come check it out with me sometime. Can I ask? Is that an invite?

[56:00]That's an invite, right? That's a verbal contract. Oh, that's an invite. That's minding, Russell. That's an invite. Now, Russell, when you go to the jazz club, what's the jazz club called? Berlin. Did you hear this song? Oh, jeez. That's right, Rob. I am being serious. Requesting a spot at the bar at the jazz club? Negative, Ghost Rider.

[56:31]The pattern is full. So we go to Berlin and I'll save some talk. We can talk jazz clubs another time, but it seemed like a very cool spot. We go to the jazz club, we order a drink, we're going to the restaurant right next door. So we walk 10 minutes or so, get there. I order a drink and as you guys know, on our text chain, we like to take pictures of our drinks, send them out to the guys. I took a picture. I had the upstairs roommate take a picture of me holding this super cool red drink, was going to send it out. Wait, you were in

[57:01]one of the pictures? Yeah. Normally, I don't ever send with me in the picture, do I? No, this is a change. Here's why I don't ever send me in the picture. Oh, no. I found out why. Okay. Are you going to show us the picture? I'm going to. Russell, my kids are sleeping. Everyone's sleeping at my place. I can't do this. I will not send it to you, but I'll show it to you. Howard, screenshot. Where's my screenshot button? So she takes the picture. We're at this very nice restaurant. She takes the picture

[57:31]of me holding this red drink. I got a beautiful smile. You know, I'm having fun. And immediately she goes, oh, no, we can't. You can't use this picture. She goes, your hair is sticking. It's sticking up like in something about Mary, like someone used in my hair and it's sticking straight up. Wow. I apparently, I will use a little gel, a little product in the hair when I'm done. I don't know, Matt, I don't know if you use anything in your hair to kind of put it the way you want it, but I use a little bit and it went horribly wrong.

[58:00]And I'm going to show you guys the picture that is only for you guys. I don't know if you'll be able to see this or not. Oh, wow. Look at what happened to my hair. And you didn't even, and you didn't know it? Yeah. Yeah. I didn't even know it. Russell, looking at your hair makes me feel like I'm watching Winamp. I mean, it looks like the thing on Winamp where it's going up and down. I like it. I've never seen your hair do that, Russell. That is wild to me. You should do that more often. Rob, could you explain it to our listeners what's happening with my hair? It looks like, hold on, hold on. You know that Jeffy's painting? Can you hold it just a little bit stiller

[58:30]so Rob can take a, no, I'm kidding. He moved it over. We'll just do that. How about that? You can take the picture you want right there. Folks, if you want, to see this picture, I will put this picture on the Instagram, but I will need 10 people to text into the back line, hashtag, what's a good one? Hair, hair. Hashtag hair, hair. If you want to see Russell's hair, hashtag hair, hair. I will not release it on Instagram until I get 10. I mean, I wish I had seen that photo.

[59:00]I like it. I like the little flip. No, it was, it was horrible. And she goes, and this is, we've been out for an hour at this point. Why didn't you say when you left the house? Oh, let's, oh, imagine that, Aaron. Yeah. So we left the house. We walked for 10 minutes together to the first bar of the jazz club where we talked about how nice this jazz club had a conversation for 20, 30 minutes of the, then went to the new restaurant, sat there, ordered drinks. We were there for at least 20, this is at least an hour.

[59:31]And then the upstairs roommate says, oh, you can't send this picture, your hair, there's something wrong with your hair. That's a failure. Well, she was either looking deep into your eyes or looking up into your trouser cuff. No, either way. She was distracted. Why is she? She just didn't look at you, Russell. The whole time you were out, she did not look at you. That is wild. That is wild. And the same shit happens to me all the time.

[60:01]I will go to school. I will sit here and talk to Jenny for 15 minutes in the morning. I go to school, toothpaste all over my face, just out of my lip, down the side. I look like a zombie. She had, has not told me. It is a major breach of the, of the relationship that we have. We are looking out for each other. We are ride or dies. It's like that time when somebody, it's like that time I wore a Batman hat in New York and somebody goes out and a guy on the street goes, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Fat man. And she laughed. She laughed at the guy

[60:30]when he made that joke. She laughed at fat man. The guy said, no, no, no, no, fat man. And she laughed. That was, and I said, we're ride or dies. You got to be with me no matter what. You cannot be laughing at some guy burning on me. What was your response to that? I, I, can I coach you in weightlifting? Guys, I had a meet today. Yeah. I lost. I got second place. You had a meet today? You had a new coach. Yeah. You didn't tell us you were having a meet today. Actually, he told some of us if you got into the Zoom call on time, Aaron.

[61:00]Wow. Well, I mean, ahead of time. A meet today, that sounds better than just a crudery board, which I realized in his last episode. So take that time machine. Hey, this is the, this week, part one, last week. Russell, you're not going to get a chance to delete it because you don't get, you don't get to edit anymore before that episode goes. Okay. Let's move on. Why don't we, why don't we send it out like Monday at like midnight? That'd be great. Let's talk about the album. Hey, when Aaron says, I'll take a look, Russ is out of town

[61:30]for a few days. I'll listen. Rob's like, ah, nah, we're good. It's, I mean, people liked it. I think it was good. If you guys knew, if you guys knew what it's like to edit a podcast after squatting on Mondays, coming home and it's nine, you're coming home at eight. You got to walk the dog. Nobody's done anything. You got to do all the dishes and then you have to sit down at the podcast while also watching the NCAA championship game because you know, that's going to be on late too. You're so tired the next day. You're a hero. That's so rich. All right. I'll see you at the day off.

[62:01]Oh no, that was, let's talk about a, an electric warrior by T-Rex. And that reminds me, there was a new dinosaur discovered and some people think it's the sexiest dinosaur yet. A Rexis Texas. Now that is a joke if you know a porn star's names. So there's going to be about two or three of our listeners, including John, for me dying, who's going to howl at that joke. That was a good one. Now guys, we are talking about, I can't believe you would bring him up to talk about this.

[62:30]I thought we had moved, moved past it. I can't, I can't do this anymore. This is the second album by T-Rex, but it's the sixth album by Tyrannosaurus Rex. Oh, this gets confusing. Now, if you think that sounds pretentious, you have hit onto the basic premise of T-Rex. Okay. That is pretty much, this used to be a folk band and this guy, Mark Bolin would go and he would add his electric guitar

[63:01]over this folk music, which is kind of what you hear on radio. Bang a gong, right? Where there's this sharp electric guitar coming over stuff, but they switched for this album to glam rock. They released this album in 1971. I want you to hear the glam rock albums and listen to the years, right? So this is 71. This is such an inspirational album. Listen to this. Spiders from Mars. Okay. 1972. That's after this. Right. He played guitar with Bowie in a band,

[63:30]which is why. That's crazy because this whole album, I'm thinking about, Bowie and Bowie listened to this first. And Bowie said, that's why Bowie, it's in the song by T-Rex. Whoa, here we go. He's name checked in the Bowie song. That's changing how you're thinking about it now, isn't it? Totally, yeah. Then Lou Reed, Transformer, 72. That was way up there. New York. That was one, that was one where we didn't think we'd be Lou Reed fans and we've listened to Lou Reed and we've given it props, I believe, right? What most people say is there's been an album you've loved that you didn't know. It's Lou Reed, Transformer every time.

[64:01]So they, this album again, 71. New York Dolls, 73. Matt and the Hoopie, 72. Yellow Brick Road. Whoa, that's not the Hoople, but okay. Yeah, I believe that'd be the Hoople. I was thinking, guys, that story about Grant Hill was just in my head. Speaking of Grant Hill, I heard that, who's the lead singer, the guitar player for this band? Who's the guitar player? Who's the main dude on this band, T-Rex? Mark Bolin? Mark Bolin. Yeah, I believe he's like 5'4". He's under 5'. Very short. Very short. Tall girls like him.

[64:30]Technically, he could date Grant Hill. They'd look great together. No, technically, I think Rob is closer to this guy's height than me to Grant Hill. Like, so if you put him and Rob and me and Grant Hill, there's like Rob and this guy are like closer than me and Grant Hill. I have never been so devastated on this show before. I said fuck off before I even thought about what I was going to say. I was so mad that you said that. Oh, go back and listen to how fast I said fuck off because I... Didn't Matt the Hoople record all the young dudes, too? Mm-hmm. They did.

[65:00]Yellow Brick, by the way, can you imagine if Grant Hill goes to the strip club? It's discount night. Uh-oh. From Central Arkansas, number 33, Scottie Pippen. Scottie Pippen comes out. Grant Hill gets a lap dance from Scottie Pippen. No. It would look like they're down in the post playing one-on-one. Grappling for position. How long has Scottie Pippen been a stripper? Is that the special surprise? I'm going to get this episode. Aaron, were you not listening to Rob? Are you serious, Aaron? You don't remember when we were talking

[65:30]about basketball announcers? I'm going to need an apology from Aaron next week. Super announcers? I thought that was a funny joke for me to phrase it that way. I thought I was doing a bit. I'm funny tonight, guys. You don't understand. I'm doing jokes tonight. It's a different thing. Next up. Next up. No, no, no. Who want to sex Mutombo? You're going to Dikembe in your pants when you see this next one. From Seattle, it's the Rain Man, Sean Kemp. Worst stripper to see there?

[66:02]Making it rain Worst stripper to see there? Pooh Richardson. No. What? Why do we have to pull Pooh into this? Actually, worst one to see, A.C. Green. That would be sad. If A.C. Green was stripping for you, you'd be like, A.C., what happened? They kept it together so long. Now you're stripping? I think there could be celibate strippers, right? I mean, the name of the, that would be the name that my wife would like. Celibate strippers. The name of the movie my wife would rent at the hotel. Honey, I got a movie.

[66:31]I got kind of a sexy movie we can watch. Celibate strippers? At the hotel. Stargate, A.C. Green? Yeah, I noticed you charged me for celibate strippers. I can guarantee I did not watch that. Please. I mean, what do they do? They come out and they're like, there's just a toilet on stage. You're like, I think you got the wrong one. You charged me $9.99 for celibate strippers. I attended to pay $8.99 for taking it to the hole. Do not go back

[67:02]and try to dissect this joke. Okay, you will get lost. Don't. I feel like I need to take a thread through the labyrinth of the joke that we just told. Because it is wild. The Minotaur is out there somewhere in the middle of this joke looking for us. Okay? The head of a bull. The body of a man. Worst combination ever. Three seconds in the paint. Speaking of head of the bulls, I mean, Jerry Reinstorf. The Minotaur, right? What about him? Well, he's the head of a bull.

[67:31]Like the Minotaur. What? Russell, Minotaur is not a cryptid, so to stop thinking about that stuff. Here's the deal, okay? Rocky Horror Picture Show, 75. Yellow Brick Road, 73. You get all these albums that are so obviously inspired by... Yellow Brick Road is considered glam rock? According to a list I looked at. I bet you're making jerk off. Sure. I'm very glamorous. We love that one. Now, this went to number one in the UK and it was a top 10 in the US with the Bang Agong Get It On.

[68:00]And I gotta say, if you get a chance, check out the cover art. Did you guys see the cover art to this? I don't know if I have. Let me show you. It is... Yeah, it's like a guy playing a guitar with an amp. Look at this, Russell. This cover art kicks ass. Okay? It's like a... It's true. I mean, it just is so rock and roll. Now, you realize... What do you guys think? Top 25 album cover? It's really good. I think so. And you realize, Russell, that you realize why they shot it from below if the guy's 5'4", because he looks taller than his amplifiers in this picture,

[68:30]but you know he's shorter. I mean, they've used to... Next to him, you would probably fit in the album cover, whereas my head would be cut off at the top. Like, my hair sticking up wouldn't make it in this album cover. Hair sticking up would not be an issue. It wouldn't be a problem. I would look fine. I mean, tall amp reminds me when I played basketball against that former Vikings running back. Amply? I didn't think he was Amply, but... What? Is that something? Amply? Can you describe a woman as Amply?

[69:00]Amply? Isn't that his name? Isn't that the running back? Yeah, Amply. Oh, what the fuck? He was so Amply. Hey, are you Amply? I sure am. I'm Amply. I'm Amply. Oh, Ampless. Wow. Here we go. Can I ask, am I missing something? Maybe I wasn't paying attention for the last... Why does Rob keep pulling up Fifty Shades of Grey? Did we talk about this last episode and I wasn't paying attention? No, it's because I had to find what the trilogy was. And of course, the third book is... Because this episode is like... Because The Godfather 3... No, it is not. That book is the... It is not.

[69:30]It is like my favorite trilogy movie. This... This week, part three. Three weeks ago. Twilight film. How many Twilight films are there? There was three. Aaron, nice job. This is the Police Academy 3 of Back to the Better. Are you serious? We're cadets? No, we're... I shouldn't have... Shit, no. If we were characters... The third Indiana Jones is the best Indiana Jones. That was a... If we were characters in Police Academy, who would be who, Rob? Okay, so first of all, I would be...

[70:00]I don't know why. I would be Steve Guttenberg. Aaron? I would be the lead or... Aaron, the busty woman. Okay? Aaron's the busty woman. Aaron's the busty woman. I picture... Who's Tackleberry? I think... I think... I think Matt is Tackleberry and I think Russell is Sound Effects guy, Russell. Congratulations. What? Isn't that Winslow? Yes. Michael Winslow, yeah. Yes. And I'm also Hightower because I'm just so tall. You're not even close to as tall as Hightower. Now, can I just tell you,

[70:30]it was back in training. So I was right when I said cadets. I knew it was back in training because that is one of the movies at our house we had on VHS that we would just watch. Do people at your weightlifting competitions think you have an unfair advantage because you're so short when it comes to squats and the bench? You need to get real personal out here. My rack height is 13, Russell. That means that they have the option to go 13 lower and they don't. Oh, I got you. Okay, I apologize. 13. Matt hears me clucking.

[71:00]You know what, guys? What's that? You know what? I'm pulling the ripcord on this episode. Ripcord. Shirt's coming off. Shirt's coming off. This is a special surprise. Pants might be coming off too. He's wearing a belt. If he puts the belt around and I'm leaving the Zoom, I will not be a part of this. Is he wearing a singlet? He's wearing a singlet. He's been wearing a singlet the entire time. He's wearing a singlet. He's wearing a singlet tonight. Why are you wearing a singlet, Rob?

[71:30]Why are you wearing a singlet? Why are you wearing a singlet? Why are you wearing a singlet? I almost pulled a muscle putting this thing on. I am now wearing my singlet. It looks like Ron Gerby and Mark Henry had a love child, but it's Rob. Why are you wearing your singlet? Did you forget to take it off after your meet? Yes, Aaron. I forgot to take it off. No, I had to clean up the meet because guess who ran the meet? Who was the meet director? My wife. Oh, she's the meet director.

[72:00]She's your trainer and the meet director? She was the meet director and so I had to clean up the meet. So I had to go. Now, do you think this involved me doing a lot of setup stuff maybe on a Friday night in New York City? Oh, yeah. Were these your T-Rex fun facts? No. So here's the deal. I pulled the plug. I didn't pull the plug on the episode, man. Don't get such a big smile. Now, I hate to do this because we know we're running long, but in 69, Boland published his first and only book of poetry entitled The Warlock of Love.

[72:30]Okay? The Warlock of Love is the name of his book. I have a link to the book. I found it online. I'm going to go scroll to a random page and I'm going to read. Ready? Anyway. Beamed like a quaking ship's mast, handsome like a stagecoach, robed in thunder brown, one yellow eye scans the failing hand and host of theatricals bobbled and jingled jester their tumbling way into puyus frock coats and plumed hats. Guys, there's pages and pages of this. Here's to the cockery. Aaron, you should quote this

[73:00]during your poker game. This is the way you need to go. Yeah, you're right. And this Mark Bolin, I mean, this is just, this album, you can just tell and we're going to do this. We're going to have the how high was he meter. When we do the song. How high was he, Rob? We're going to look at he was high tower. He was above the amps. He was above amp lead. Guys, we're going to do for each song, how high was he when he came up with the lyrics for the song. Okay? So let's get into Electric Warrior by T-Rex.

[73:31]First up. Yeah, I actually didn't know anything. I didn't read the lyrics to the song. I didn't understand any of them. Mambo's son. One, two, three, four, five. Everybody in the home. Listen, did you see the story about Stephen King where he said his wife almost divorced him because he played Mambo number five so much around the house? And he's like, he's like, I love Mambo number five. Look it up. Stephen King loves Mambo number five. Okay. Wow. First of all, he said one of his favorite parts.

[74:00]Just a little bit. Just a little bit, Russell. Just a tip? Just a, no, just a little bit of Jessica in his life. Okay. Next one. He had a little bit of Monica in his life. In his life? Yeah. And then a little bit of, is there somebody named Shorty? I think it's Trina. Trina. Okay. Yeah. Guys, you're like a Stephen King. You love Mambo number five. Trina's all night long, right? Trina's all I need. Trina's all I. With my hat in my hand,

[74:30]I'm a hungry man for you. Not that high. Okay. I'm not. I forgot. Yeah. Oh, Rob, Rob, Rob, let me, can I, can I help you? I've told the upstairs roommate at times. Sometimes I bring things. I don't know. We've never had an official conversation about this, but I think part of my role on the podcast and part of Matt and Aaron's role is to feed into Rob's comedic stylings. When we see an opportunity to feed to Rob, that's what we're supposed to do. Right? Right. Yeah. You're going to let the big dog eat. Get me down to the low post. You guys are John Stockton

[75:00]and I'm somebody else. Old and wellness. Greg, Greg owes your tag. I'm Scotty Pippin. We're at Areola 51. Nice. How are you introducing the next song? Okay. Exit up. Okay. Coming out. Here comes. I didn't mean that you have to Google a new song. What? No, no, no. I want to find it. Guys, give me a famous. There's like 18% of Matt's energy that just got sucked out

[75:30]when you Googled a new song here. I know, but I apologize. Man, I didn't think this is where we were going with it. Up to the aliens from the big screen. Okay. I got it. Here we go. Ready? What's happening? Where is Caitlin? How come Caitlin's not on that list? Guys, next up from Areola 51, coming to you. They're coming out and stripping. It's the little shrimp guys from Men in Black. Okay. And they're going to be dancing to this next song. Cosmic Dancer. Cosmic Dancer. Okay. Go to the bar and grab some squirt.

[76:00]Or whatever. That's what I said earlier. This is just a Beatles song to me. It's a very Beatles. Yeah. Yeah. Seven out of 10. I was going to ask you guys, I told you we were listening to the, or we were watching the Beatles Get Back documentary. Does it feel kind of weird we haven't heard another Beatles? We haven't heard a Beatles album like in at least a season and a half. I think about that. It feels like we should have heard something. It feels like they got front loaded when they redid the new album. It seems weird that there hasn't been anything

[76:31]between like 25 and 20. And 200, right? Are we done with Beatles albums or is Get Back coming up? I don't know. Or no. I'm almost there. I think. The album's not called Get Back. So we had 5, 11, 24, 29, 35. And now we've got at 197, we'll have Meet the Beatles. Oh, the old one. So Abbey Road, Revolver, Sergeant Pepper, White Album, Rubber Soul. 5, 11, 24, 29, 35. So no Let It Be.

[77:00]Oh. Um, Let It Be is at 342. Then we've got A Hard Day's Night at 263. Help at 266. And Let It Be at 342. If Grant Hill shrunk an inch every year, he would still be way taller than Rob by the time we do Get Back. God damn it. Or Let It Be. Whatever that is. I'm surprised Beatles 1 isn't on there. That had a ton of good songs on it. Thank you, Russell. Russell got that one.

[77:30]I get it. Next up. I read online that people, people think this is one of the band's best songs. It's called Jeepster. I laughed out loud when they said this is one of the band's best songs. I mean, this one is, this is crazy. You can hear the Chuck Berry influence. Yep. You know, you heard Chuck Berry. I heard Chuck Berry too, but in a different, for a different reason, Matt. Uh-oh. This song here was in the movie Death Proof, which is Quentin Tarantino movie.

[78:01]Oh, yeah. And it sort of, it made me think, you know, Quentin Tarantino does a great job with music in his movies. So I thought we could do a list of the greatest songs ever in Quentin Tarantino. Wow. Wow. And Jeepster, is that in a Quentin Tarantino movie? Jeepster is in Death Proof. Wow. It's the Kurt Russell one, right? Yeah. I saw that in the theaters. The car and stuff. Yeah. First song on the list is from the 1992 film.

[78:30]We call them films when it comes to Quentin. It's Steeler's Wheel, Stuck in the Middle with You. Oh, from Reservoir Dogs, right? Reservoir Dogs, yes. You guys remember the scene of this one or not? Oh, my God. The Razor. Jesus Christ. It's kind of, you're watching like the most violent, he's cutting the guy's ear off and he's dancing to a pop song. It's such like a juxtaposition of like pop versus violence, right? I don't know how else to explain it, but it's a great song. What percent of people

[79:01]do you think the first time they heard that, thought it was Bob Dylan? 95? Large. Yeah, for sure. I did until I was like 43 or something. All right. All right. Aaron, you had mentioned kind of a... Almost 44. One of you got, Aaron, you said kind of a mix of violence with kind of pop or something that's like a Tarantino thing to do. Is that right? Yeah, yeah. Like the incongruity, right? Of the sound and the visual. I think one of them, we're going to skip ahead a little bit, Rob.

[79:30]This is from the 2003 movie. This is from the 2003 movie. This made it, I believe, to the E-Late 8 in the tournament. We still haven't gotten through the final four because nobody's requesting to hear it. But the next song is from Kill Bill, Volume 1. And I believe we've talked about this before when What's-Her-Name, Krista Kirsten or Kirsten, wanted to hear... She had a problem with us using the term bang-bang or a banger. That was actually Sarah from Eden Prairie. Oh. But I'm not surprised that we missed that one. Are we going to get some Nancy Sinatra here?

[80:01]Nancy Sinatra? Nancy Sinatra. Bang, bang, baby, shout me down. This is so good. This is in Kill Bill, right after the super violent beginning after the wedding. And this kind of sets the tone for both Kill Bill movies, right, Aaron? Yeah, this is an all-time great music moment in a movie. Aaron, you know one of the reasons I think you like this? I don't know if you know this. I was reading the person who arranged the soundtrack and did a lot of work on the soundtrack

[80:30]for this Kill Bill is the Rizzo. The Rizzo from Wu-Tang. The Rizzo. Did you know that? That makes sense. I didn't know that he worked on Kill Bill. I knew that he and Tarantino had worked together, but I didn't remember it was Kill Bill. Kill Bill is so kung fu. I mean, it would make sense that all those guys would be right in there. Next song on the list. This goes out to The Pleasure Principle. Aaron, I think this is a movie, if I remember, you love this movie too, but Pleasure Principle for sure loved this one. It's from Pulp Fiction, 1994 movie. I don't know how to pronounce the song.

[81:00]It's from Dick Dale. It's Miserlew? It's Pumpkin and Honeybear. They stick up the diner. And they're like, every last one of you sit the fuck down and we'll kill every last one of you. And then this song kicks in. Great music moment in Tarantino film, right? Perfect cue, yeah. Also, a young Rob learning what a gimp is. A huge moment in my career. God, it's unbelievable. You're thinking, would it be more fun to wear the mask or to have someone else wear the mask? We both wear the mask.

[81:30]My wife had it at the museum. We're going to do Hey, I got this new mask. Do you want to try one of these masks too? I think it's going to actually help. When Ving Rhames says, they said, you know, he says, are you doing all right? No, man. I'm not doing fucking all right. Whatever he said is. I'm pretty fucking far from okay. Yeah, that's what he says. Honey, I know you saw the credit card bill. I ordered the masks with no eye holes.

[82:01]I thought they would be cheaper. And they weren't. They were more expensive. What? You talked about this on the podcast and I didn't listen. So I don't get it. That's okay. Babe, I think that was Grant Hill that we just saw at the restaurant that we walked out of. Is that Grant Hill? He's as tall as Rob is. So tall. Next song on the list. I think Pulp Fiction, there's a dozen songs you're going to pick from Pulp Fiction. There's Son of a Preacher Man. There's all these good ones.

[82:30]There's, I believe the one is, I forgot the name of the one, where she's OD'ing on it. But the one we had to do, Matt, you had mentioned Chuck Berry earlier on this. This is some song by Chuck Berry. It's the famous song when they're dancing in the diner. Say hi to the old folks. You can't, what is it? You never can tell? Yeah. Can't, I mean, if you hear this, you got to immediately kind of start doing that twist or whatever that dance is, right? Yeah. We're doing it. Vince and Vega? I'll tell you what, man.

[83:03]I watched a movie that had Chuck Berry in it too, but it was way different than what you guys are talking about. It was a lot of him like looking at the camera being like, is it night vision turned on? You know, stuff like that. Speaking of bathrooms, I was going to, I've never seen you guys in the picture. I was at a conference. I was at this hotel a while back and on the toilet paper, they, you know how sometimes they'll, they'll put like a sticker on it or they'll do like something at a hotel

[83:31]where they make it like a triangle. This one had a sticker on it and it said, thank you. Like, why is the hotel thanking me for using the toilet? Yeah. Why is there a thank you on the toilet paper? I guarantee if you've cleaned hotel rooms, you are always thankful when people are using the toilet. Well, we've heard about your experiences and what you've left for a tip. God damn it, I knew you were going to bring that up. Fuck. Okay. I left the tip on the top of the tank. Okay. So it wasn't that big a deal. And it was a nice tip. All right.

[84:00]Cause there was major problems going on. Left the tip on the top of the tank. Last thing on the list. There's so many movies we could have done. Once upon a time in Hollywood as a bunch of good ones. Jackie Brown. There's so many good Tarantino movies, but we had to cut it down. This is a mixture of two of the greats ever. It's from the movie Django. The song is Unchained. It's a mix of Tupac and James Brown. Is that badass or what? Yeah. Wow. And was this something he recorded

[84:32]while he was alive? Or was this put together posthumously? I think it was put together posthumously for the movie. But either way, you're going to take two legends like Tupac and James Brown. It's got to make the list, right? Yeah. Oh, a hundred. So those are the best songs ever that are featured in Quentin Tarantino movies. That was a great list. That's an all-time list. That's a hard one to make. Yeah. That's a good one. Oh, yeah. Also, Steeler's Wheel. I thought for sure Steeler's Wheel

[85:01]was when Franco Harris rang down. Ran downfield on a long bomb, okay? But it turns out Steeler's is spelled S-T-E-A-L-E-R. Wheel is a type of route. Was he, yeah, was he running the wheel ride on the Immaculate Reception? Probably, right? Because what else would he have been doing? He was. Because I know he was running train during the Immaculate Conception when he and Terry Bradshaw fucked my wife and got her pregnant. Oh, my God. Wow. And that linebacker with the big teeth.

[85:30]The Immaculate Conception. Jack Tatum? Guess what? That play, number 101 on NFL's Greatest Plays. They barely talk about it. When I was thinking of that, I was thinking of Rob and his wife when they went to the store and bought cheese and then told the credit card company they didn't buy the cheese and didn't want to pay for it. Steeler's Wheel. Steeler's Wheel. Oh, Wheel. Speaking of the Steelers, I forgot, I have a joke. Can we go back to your 20 questions game? Let's hear it. Is this athlete have something gray? Okay, does this athlete

[86:01]have something gray? I'm going to edit that in. Appendage. I'm going to edit that in. That's good. Next up. Strange killer. Monolith. Here the lyrics are. The throne of time is a kingly, a kingly thing from whence you know what we do. You don't understand. I'm saying he doesn't have a gray dick. Right? What? No. Oh, he does. Yeah. Does this person have a gray dick? That's what I'm saying. No, he doesn't have one. All of these sound like

[86:31]he was recording through, through the same mic that John Lennon used on the White Album. Yeah. Oh, you can hear it all over the place. Lean Woman Blues. You mentioned the White Album. I was thinking about doing the, re-watching that Beatles documentary. What do you guys think about just like doing the full deep dive on the Beatles? Watching all the documentaries, reading all the books. Is there any value there, like fun that can come out of that or no? No. There's just too much other stuff in life. Do you know why

[87:00]there's so much stuff, Russell? Why? It's not because there's so much to learn about them. It's because they're so popular and all that stuff sells to people. It's, there's not like, there's, there's not that. There's not new stuff. How long were the Beatles, how long did they, were they together for, guys? Five years? Four years? Ten years? Seven years? I mean, it's like nothing. Like, there's not that much going on, but everybody will buy a Beatles book. Probably about four years longer than this podcast that Rob keeps handling the way he handled it a few months ago. I mean, they were together in Hamburg in the 50s,

[87:30]but they didn't break until 62 here, really. But, I mean. Yeah, they were done in 69, 70, 69? Ich bin ein Hamburger. It's me, Ringo. I'm an Hamburg. Hey, I'm helping the mayor. You could say I'm a real hamburger helper. All right, by the way, and if you think I'm going to make a jack-off joke about the guy from the hamburger helper box, you're wrong. I'm not going to do that right now. That's for episode 302. Write that down, please, and remind me. Send me a voicemail. This is season five. Season five, okay? I'm going to sell

[88:00]my beefaroni. I mean, there's jokes all over the place. But, guys, next up, the song that is, okay, now listen. Bang a gone. Parentheses. Get it on. Was originally, this song is a bop, by the way. It's good. I listen to this, I bet, 20 times. I don't know if it's Remember the Titans. This has got to be in, like, football shows or movies or something. I know this from movies. Don't you guys? It's the, like, they've got it together montage, like, now we're... You're getting off the bus

[88:31]in slow motion. I think it's actually at the beginning of Friday Night Lights, the one season. They're sitting at the pool. Everyone's having fun. I would bet money that's where I know it from. I don't want your life. You're a liar. No, no, no. Wrong foot, Now, this was renamed Bang a gone, parentheses, Get it on. She's a teen. It had to be renamed Bang a gone, parentheses, Get it on, because there was originally a song by a band, Chase, around the same time called Get it on. Now listen to this fucking song. This song might be better.

[89:02]Feeling tight inside Get it on in the morning now Oh, yeah. Oh, great. I like that. It's like a Chicago Blood, Sweat, and Tears. Right. Yeah, like the movie Blues. I put this on the Rust list. We're going to listen to this every week now when we're waiting to get started. It's so good. They're ripping. We have heard Bang the gone, Get it on before. Do you guys remember when? It was a song where the instrument was not in the song, right?

[89:30]Is that what it was? No. It was one of the best songs played on the Trident Studio Beckstein piano. Oh, wow. We talked about that on, I believe, I don't know if it was a David Bowie one, but you heard Beatles, Hey Jude was played on the same piano as that Bang the gone. Elton John, Tiny Dancer played on the same piano as that Glissando. It was a Glissando on this one, which, remember, is when you rip your finger up and down the keys. Yep, yep. Mona. Carly Simon, You're So Vain, and then Seven Seasons of Rye by Queen

[90:00]were all on that same piano. Russell, what's one funny bit from that episode? Sorry, Rob. I didn't know that we like to talk about those notes anymore. I sometimes like to talk about the past. Sorry, John. I don't remember. Russell, I tell you all the time the notes are so good. Now, you stop that. You know I say good things about the notes. That actually, did you just say Tony Tiny Danza? No. That was one of the good bits was Tiny Tony Danza. Don't say that because I just said Mona again redoing the bit. That makes me sound like I just have one bit I do. The opening of my notes was,

[90:31]I thought this was a really good episode. Maybe top 10. Nice. Despite all the gas talk at the beginning, which makes me think Rob was making a lot of fart jokes at the beginning. Oh, is this Stevie Wonder? Sardukie? This was Aaron's kid is on preschool spring break and he loves PT boats. Hey, there you go. Oh, wow. That was 2022. That is crazy. Now, hey, can you imagine the future? We're going to be doing the same bit. We're going to be like, that was the Scotty Pippin giving a lap dance

[91:00]to Grant Hill. And it looks like they're, they're getting positioned on the blocks. We'll be like, oh yeah, I remember that bit. That was a good one. Oh, it's also the same episode as the alien strip club, Areola 51. This also was Matt's where Matt said he can't stand ordering it as a group at a restaurant. Mac does not like ordering groups at a restaurant. I don't blame him. Rusted dinner in the dark on this episode. Oh my God. And I don't even know what Rob,

[91:30]this is something like where we get into Rob's weird stuff. All I have is notes about Rob was cakewalks, whatever that is. Cakewalk. It's because nobody in New York knew what a cakewalk was, but now people are getting invited to a cakewalk. I got a text about it this week. It's crazy. Now, Russell, I got to tell you this. You're not supposed to say cakewalk. It has racist. Yeah, don't, but don't say that because then I say I did cakewalks when I'm younger and it sounds bad. Okay, stop saying that. That's what everybody says when I say, do you know what a cakewalk is?

[92:00]They look it up and it's super bad. I didn't know that I just got cake when I was in elementary school. It's my favorite. I didn't either. We don't have to go into it, but I'm just going to say it now. Something so good for my life was actually bad. He got, bang a gong, get it on, Russell, listen to this. It is based on a Chuck Berry sound. He said, and that's why on the way out, if you listen to him, he goes, it's so popular and he goes, keep file. It's a quote from the Chuck Berry song, which is a good thing. He didn't find out Chuck Berry didn't find out he did it. You can ask John Lennon about that.

[92:30]Did all these damn free albums for him, but Chuck Berry, check us out. Little Queenie, listen to this. Does this sound like bang a gong? Listen to the guitar. Oh, 100%. Yeah. Okay. It also sounds like the dance scene from Pulp Fiction. Now listen, this took me on a deep dive on Chuck Berry and I just got to tell you guys what I found because I went to it. First of all, I had forgotten what he got in trouble for. He had a restaurant

[93:01]where he was taking taping women going to the bathroom. Now, I just got to say this. Listen, taping women going to the bathroom at your house, bad. But can you think of a worse place to want to see people go to the bathroom than a restaurant? That has to be the worst. It has to be. I mean, it would be like if you had it in an airplane. Like, it's a psychopath. What? You would not. We're doing more Chuck Berry bathroom content. I think both are bad, right? How can we keep? No, a restaurant is worse. A restaurant is way worse.

[93:30]People out there know I'm right. Now, he got busted because the janitor found these tapes and Chuck Berry had edited them into compilations. I feel like this is a stand-up bit that I could do, so just bear with me for a little bit. Can you imagine? It's really funny thinking of Chuck Berry going through these VHS tapes, taking the time with two VCRs. He's got two VCRs at home. He's pushing record. He's pushing stop. He's fast forwarding. He's doing all this stuff. Scrambling them. Nothing's scrambling them. He is doing so much work

[94:01]to be able to juggle back off later to the same stuff. He is working so hard. He's like, putting in the time, man, but I got to get this video just right so it makes me really blast off. It's so crazy. He's fast. Can you imagine how much stuff you got to fast forward on a bathroom cam? No. He's getting just the parts he wants. Okay? Ben, the funniest thing I ever saw is what Chuck Berry, guys, Matt and I

[94:30]are horrified at Aaron. I think Aaron might have fallen asleep during this bit. Chuck Berry. Aaron's not even acknowledging you're doing it. Chuck Berry. If you look at a picture of Chuck Berry, and this is going to sound weird, okay, and I wish you guys wouldn't judge me for what I'm saying. No. Chuck Berry in his coffin. Oh. Check this out. Okay? This is wild to me. Chuck Berry is, look what he's wearing. You guys see what he's wearing? It's that, it is a sailor hat. Chuck Berry was buried

[95:02]in a sailor hat. Now, I did some digging. Was Chuck Berry ever in the military? No. Bury me in my fake Air Force whites, please. I am begging you. I want to be buried in my Navy whites. Can you guys do that for me? I want to have stolen valor all the way to the grave. And then I did some digging and guess what? Chuck Berry, he wore the outfit all the time. If you look at a Google search of Chuck Berry, he is wearing a captain's hat in almost every picture.

[95:30]Do you see this? Yes. It's bizarre. Is this the T-Rex research you were talking about? Yes. Yes, this is the greatest research. And then- Is this the wild stuff about T-Rex? There's, he had one episode- This is why we had short rulings going? There's one article online about the hat. And it's just called Chuck Berry given Lifetime Achievement Award still won't take off stupid hat. And that's from punchingkitty.com. Well, yeah, this is why I couldn't do 21 ingredients on last week's

[96:00]food redraft. Guys, look at Chuck Berry's hat. Why is he wearing a captain hat? It's crazy. We got to look into it. Okay. But did you guys like the bit about the VCR tape? I thought that had something there. The Frozen 4, the hockey Frozen 4 the other day. And in between periods, they did a thing where they honored a service people, people who had served in the armed forces. And it was weird because typically people will stand up and you clap for people who have served. They asked people to stand who had served. And I was like,

[96:30]damn, this would be a perfect opportunity for like Rob to get a thing of popcorn or something and just happen to be standing. It's me. Would you ever stolen Valor at like a sporting event? Well, I wouldn't be able to stand up wrestling. You know why? Why? Because I got wheeled to this hockey game. Okay. No, we can't do that. No, I have no. Yep. It's the full thing and people will turn and thank me for my service. And I'm like, yeah, no problem. Okay. No, you got a Russell. If you're going to in for a penny

[97:00]in for a pound, it's the whole way. It's the whole way. Planet Queen. Well, it's all right. Love is what you want. Now listen to this. Blind saucer, take me away. Blind saucer, take me away. This is a 10 out of 10 on the how high was he? Yeah. For sure. The Ziggy Stardust stuff where, yeah, you feel like, boy, must listen to that. The problem is Banger Gong is so good. Also the mix of the acoustic guitar with the sort of power mix. The acoustic,

[97:30]the Banger Gong is so good. Every other song started to sound very similar to me. Big time. God, there's Bowie here. Oh, you can hear so much Bowie. I'm not reading the lyrics anymore. I can't do it. It's too much. If this all comes before Bowie, we may have to re-evaluate, right? I think it's very, that's why I thought that was an interesting thing I came up with. What do you think of this band, Matt? Did you know anything about this band beforehand or not? No. I swear he was with

[98:01]Bowie, before this. Yeah, he had played guitar in the song, yeah. Yeah, and like, you know, probably been around the scene with him. Oh, yeah. I did little to no research as the song that Rob did a bunch. It just, I hear it and whether he influenced them, you know, these other bands or they influenced him, I don't know. It feels like a rip-off to me, but, you know, I don't know. I have nothing to prove that and I didn't do the deep dive because it just, it just felt like another kind of cheesy,

[98:32]70s rock album to me, personally. and sometimes when you go on the internet deep dive, okay, people actually don't appreciate all the research that you did, okay? They don't want to talk about what the captains had as much as maybe as some other people do, so I get it. Listen to this, Russell, if you came out with a great song like Banga Gong, would you try to make another song that sounds exactly the same on the album? That's what we're going to do in S4E7. Okay, who's like Scottie Pippen?

[99:00]Who's like Scottie Pippen? All right, all right. Brain Hill, 33, small forward. Think of another famous alien that we haven't mentioned yet. Predator, he's an alien, but people don't know that. They think they're against each other, right? If you went to an alien bar and you saw Predator there, you would think there's about to be trouble, but you forget Predator is also an alien. What? Hey, come on down to the stage, Predator. You're one ugly son of a bitch. You're one ugly son of a bitch. Why is there that echo? All right,

[99:30]so listen to this. This is exactly, exactly the same as Banga Gong. Right? No, this isn't, is this the same? Yeah. It's a little more angular. Oh, they're kind of, yeah, that's similar. Thank you. Yeah. Why not? Just roll it down a little bit. Like a sequel? What if we wrote a song called Let It See? That's my Ringo. Let It See. All right, Spanish version. Life's a gas. They released
