[5:00]We've got russell Like pre talking about these jokes Before no no no I was gonna make a joke about giving him enough rope But we agreed not to touch that subject Is that i do have all these jokes written out on the screen And that one was humiliated That i think everyone could read it Because i share my screen I know they're reading and just being like Oh you idiot Surely you kid a So here's the thing Here's the thing We've got russ in minnesota How are you doing russ We're not scare mongering This podcast is really happening We got aaron out in oaktown Aaron how are you doing I'm great i'm excited to be here And talk about radiohead Matt in minneapolis How are you doing matt Excellent rob thanks for having me I am in new york and i am rob And i'm the main host All right let's go straight to the voicemail We've got another bex to the bex line We have a text It's a it's a it's a repeat customer

[6:00]We'll just say it that way I am sorry mr a Here on your avocado toast eating Herb loving Everyone's equal ass wouldn't last a minute in houston We are beef eating Gunslinging Jacked up gas guzzling Ford truck son of a guns here Nice try sunshine Great show howard rob Russ dating updates Speak up cranky matt Okay so aaron you have pissed off All right so first of all Wow I am the one who calls our listeners rightly Total idiots Okay i think aaron said one thing about houston I'm not even sure it was negative And aaron is the one who gets the negative feedback So this plan is going perfectly so far I mean the ironic thing I just want to share with this listener That i ate both avocado toast and beef shanks today So i don't know what i i mean I would happily welcome this person to my home And share all that northern california Has to offer with him or her I do have to point out that What this redneck said was One of the insults he threw in And i'm assuming it's a he One of the insults he threw in was

[7:00]Aaron's everyone Everyone's equal ass So like that's his insult is like Oh he thinks everybody's equal What a sucker Okay i don't want to stereotype but It is just a number I don't know i don't know who this person is But please come visit me anytime Not this isn't a meet me in temecula situation either This is let's hang out Come out and play some beef shanks together And then we'll see you next time And then we'll see you next time And then we'll see you next time And then we'll see you next time And then we'll see you next time And then we'll see you next time And then you're gonna kick his ass Yeah that's a good job aaron Aaron didn't you used to own a ford truck Weren't you a ford truck son of a gun back in the day Didn't you have a pickup truck at one point Yeah i've owned both a ford ranger and a chevy s10 Thank you russell for coming to my defense I've had i've owned two pickups in my lifetime Yeah oh but this guy's yeah this guy's not gonna count Either of those trucks as pickup trucks Neither guy who's owned who's owned two rangers And three isuzu trucks in my life Like they're not trucks They're just little tonka toys I would argue that aaron is by far the biggest hick of the four of us Like it's not even close right That's true

[8:00]I mean it's true Like yeah he loves avocado toast But that's because he grew up going to the bathroom Around an outhouse i assume And by the way you can tell i'm a professional announcer Because i said out in the outhouse Yeah that's not idiot rob I mean what guys we go in an outhouse We go out the in-house Okay i didn't think about that joke to the end But the beginning was good There's a setup there All right Got rolling going Let's do we want to make fun of that caller anymore Is it the same one who questioned our factual accuracy Or is that a different no And actually i gotta reach out to greg music greg 76 or whatever I actually follow him on instagram now He's a really great follow Like he had really insightful stuff to say about the christmas albums I'm sure he's not listening anymore Because that kanye episode has come out But like he has and you know what his favorite christmas song was Was the charlie brown linus and lucy one that you brought up So i was like I was like what the heck we we should be on the same page So don't fucking criticize that's it I'll give you one pass

[9:00]You better shut the fuck up about our factual inaccuracies Because there are none son Suck it down magic mark All right so here's the deal I also want to say this We have trying to been acting like we are talking about the day when the podcast comes out So for example our christmas episode we were like oh it's christmas We are recording this between christmas and new year's I am no longer trying to think about when this podcast comes out I will be talking like i'm not going to be talking about the day when the podcast comes out I will be talking like i'm not going to be talking about the day when the podcast comes out I will be talking like i'm not going to be talking about the day when the podcast comes out Like it's december 27th Because it is okay So if you're listening to the podcast Boohoo you're not part of the podcast Do not confuse me I'm too confused to think about anything So right now it's december 27th I sound really dumb when i say about how confused i am I don't like when rob limits his swear words This would he when he would typically tell all of our listeners to f off And now he's like pulling back on his language I don't know if i like that I am trying to swear casually less okay Why And by the way Why I pick you know what it is I picture i have an aunt Who if she heard me swearing would not be happy There is a zero percent chance that aunt is listening to this podcast

[10:00]She will never listen to this podcast Ever I don't know why i'm concerned about it at all But it's all i think about when i'm editing this dumb thing Less likely to be listening than your mother-in-law Yeah i was gonna say how does bernie feel about it Bernie loves me Bernie thinks i'm god's gift to men because i am Okay What about women That's more mixed results I've got mixed results from them Listen to that erin slam Erin's gonna play better in houston this week First he's got any trucks Now he's slamming people This is gonna be Rob is a new sheriff in town There's a new sheriff in town His name is erin You guys are trying to wreck my confidence But it won't work Okay It hasn't happened in 40 years And it won't happen now All right let's get into rolling going Erin you better not say that You better not fucking make fun of me anymore The audience can hear you right now But i'm telling you That was not casual That was business

[11:00]I'm the main host Stop making fun of me Note to self edit all that out Although the crowd does seem to like it They're hopping on board with yelling at erin People enjoy that All right let's get into rolling going Rolling going how's it going rosie how's it going with you Oh it's good yeah it's good it's december 27th It was 55 and sunny today so we got Out to the park and ran around that was nice So you don't have to say the date okay that's not what i meant I don't want to be confused with the release date Like we don't have to forget the date and the time I love how erin's quoting the temperature and everything too Just so people in case they in case magic mark goes back in checks He's gonna be like actually erin was factually incorrect About the dew point in the oakland area on the 27th of december Man don't get me started about the dew point I've really learned a lot about that in the last year and a half The dew point is a fascinating thing to do Fascinating topic that also just proves that you're the biggest Tick on the whole thing too because nobody talks about weather More than small town america that's like how you introduce yourselves like hey oh

[12:00]Yeah it looks like storms coming in you know so That's how we know that rosie's the biggest tick on this whole Yeah when you're talking to people in new york it's like dew point more like Don't point don't bring it up they don't want to talk about And i would say the thing i'm really into the last three days Is this i realized that my What i've got going on dovetails with a couple of russell's interests I'm reading as a christmas gift for my lady i'm reading A biography about james beard the guy After whom james beard awards were named it's by john birdsall who was Formerly of oakland great book i'm really liking it and I know russell likes to read back can you explain who james beard is for Dumb listeners yeah so i'm just learning about who he Was in his life but he is a person After whom culinary awards are named and i think he was a Food journalist and now is that like a really dirty word aaron just used

[13:00]I kind of flinched i didn't flinch when he said that culinary Okay oh i don't like that anymore But i think he grew up near portland and then it was a food i think he was a Chef at some point and then a food okay well we don't need this isn't the Audiobook version of the book i mean we and what i but my real big realization That russell you probably have learned this through all of your about your Biography reading is that i so i keep most of my reading fiction Especially in 2020 because real life is too real for me but i'm understanding Now that biographers also have to be something like novelists and to make a Biography interesting they have to write it as though they have to fill in the Gray areas and so i'm really enjoying discovering that learning that fact After 40 years of life so not the most brilliant insight but it's a It's a fun read so i highly recommend matt we're only going How's it going with you good it's december 27th here in Minneapolis So it finally snowed on december 24th that's three days ago and so

[14:00]We've we've been out sledding every day and i well I'm trying to figure out if if it was just me in the old days or Did you guys go to the sledding hill by yourself i mean there's a kid like is it Eight nine ten year old did your parents come with you No we went by ourselves i know just what you're gonna say and i'll let you say it Halfway before i interrupt you okay well yeah that's about par for the Course thank you i feel like i'm getting better Yeah so you know so i go don't let me stop you go ahead they got my eight Year old and i got a five-year-old and i think we're fine there but like you Start seeing i don't know 10 11 12 year olds and their parents are there And it's like a social event now for the parents to like get all dressed up and Bring their coffee and you know maybe in copenhagen spice lattes you know everybody's out Side and everything so that's that's kind of a you're thinking about it in minnesota but i don't Know it's just it it seems like i mean this is a back in the day take that i wish our kids could go

[15:00]Do more stuff on their own without having to be hovering over them all the time i don't know That is i that is the none of us if look at our faces None of us are shocked that you have that take absolutely none yeah but i don't know i mean Do am i rosie you've got a little bit younger i mean it yeah mine's three and a half i mean i So yeah i don't want to turn this into a parenting podcast but i did even today on the playground Realize like oh i need to step back a little bit away like you know the i i i've been the parent Who's following the kid around across the little wobbly bridge on the you know play structure and I realized today like well you know if he falls he's he's okay i better just step back a little Bit so yeah and then as soon as you do that the kid like gets seriously hurt that's what happened Every time i'm like yeah and aren't you the parent where your kid made like two trips to The emergency room under your care in like a week or something like yeah that also is true so i do

[16:00]Have that hanging over my head yeah russell maybe you shouldn't feel bad i said that i Take that you shouldn't be pushing the wobbly bridge while he's on top of it maybe that's The problem russell get tough fucker you're yelling damn it it's a tough it's a tough line To walk right we're always trying to walk that line i i tell you i it snowed here in new york Like major snow and So we have an inflatable tube right and we went to central park we went to the big sledding hill In central park i took the girls and nobody else in new york knows how to sled nobody has any idea People are walking up the hill down where you sled people are looking down the hill and getting Just blasted from behind like people in new york are fucking idiots when i came to sledding and i Said to my girls like these people are fucking idiots don't trust them they're here like they're Like not wearing gloves it's just wild to me what people in new york do for sledding so i brought a Bunch of kids to sled the hill and i was like oh my god i'm not going to sled the hill i'm not going To sled the hill i'm not going to sled the hill i'm not going to sled the hill i'm not going to Sled the hill i'm not going to sled the hill i'm not going to sled the hill i'm not going to sled The hill i'm not going to sled the hill i'm not going to sled the hill i'm not going to sled the hill Because it goes so fast so i put my girls together on a tube i put them together on a tube

[17:00]They went down and they went so much farther than the other kids that they immediately hit a metal Fence and bounced over at my youngest one got pretty seriously hurt so here i am in central park With a crying child after i sent them down on a tube that i knew was too fast so ironically it Turns out the shittiest parent of all was the parent inside it was me we used to when we were Kids we used to go down a hill on the other side of the street it was kind of a hill that went down We would create a jump at the bottom of it and you would go off the jump and kind of onto Like a frozen pond yeah but we turned this into like a full contact sport of course where we would Have races to the bottom where you were allowed to get off the sled and like tackle People off the sleds and it was essentially like a wrestling match to the bottom of the ice yeah The concussion special that's what we would call that like if aaron showed up at a sledding thing And his son was that would be put there would be that would be put to an end immediately and that Was the thing is that there was one jump on this thing and it was like a rock that went out right

[18:00]And literally parents were gathered at the bottom and some kid bonked their head and i bet 10 parents Went down and were like oh no and like all the kids were like move i was like yes the kids Are right get that kid move his ass he's standing up and they're making him like okay put your hands Above your head do this to that i'm like he's in a snowsuit he can't move very well anyway like And the kid was like 11 and not let hurt and i was like just move on and i i do think It's i'm not saying like oh parents these days you know i'm not saying like oh every kid should Be smoking cigarettes eating red meat but it's like okay they're sledding they're gonna get hurt There's a hundred percent chance they're gonna get hurt that's it okay i think you know and to The best thing somebody told me when my now eight-year-old was in the two three stage was like Just don't React right like you're there if he's bleeding you know you got to fix it but like as soon as You run up and react is oh my god are you okay that's like the worst thing that could happen Like you got to let him just kind of shake it off and so i don't know we're it's hard it's hard

[19:00]Because they are your kids and you just hate him so much hurt so what was the best that's not what You're saying what was the best sled run that either of them had what was the best or longest One that i've either of them had it was honestly that first one where it hit the fence i've never Been so i was asking matt around jesus this is still matt's Because i told him i was like if you're gonna run into something get off and the older one Failed immediately and the younger one just hit this fence and i went down there you know what i Told the younger one i said i told you to get off the tube like what is your problem she's like ah My head hurts or like my finger's bending the wrong way and i was like i told you get off the Tube why would you stay on but i did film it in a jackass style video i'll show it to you guys Sometime so i did get some play out of that was good matt what was the best sled run your Kids went on later on your kids did you like Walk into when they were sleeping and like throw a bunch of baking powder on their face like they Used to do on that yeah and i set off a bunch of fireworks and stuff like that it's a reverse uncle Phil where i pick on kids what is the best jackass skit that you guys remember number one hands down

[20:00]Hands down for me number one with a bullet for me is and i watched it recently it wasn't as funny But to me there's two the funniest looking one is the one where the roller skating In the truck and the truck is driving around and i use that when i teach newton's third law I use that as an example i show that clip and i'm like Yeah it's newton's third law i'm not a good teacher okay the kids did not do well on that test But then my other favorite one is the rodeo with the fire hose and it's not it doesn't It's not visually funny but the idea of it that somebody would come up with it and they do my Favorite jackass thing which is that they wear the clothes that are appropriate so they're like in a Cowboy outfit you know that's my favorite part but they're like assless chaps right yeah yeah But that's my favorite part is that they dress so perfectly like if you watch that one i think it Like oh there's a note on the door and so you got to go real close up to the door like oh yes so the Big fist goes boom i think about that all the time you guys know your jackass i'm impressed i've

[21:00]Actually been really into this kind of other this other practical joke it's like a youtube video It's these two guys over in england i forgot their names this is the other thing you subscribe to Beside me and my wife right yeah i've now canceled my facebook because the only updates They got were uk practical jokes and rob and jenny's weightlifting so i've been doing that for So i know i've terminated it the practical jokers made their kid fly off a sled and hit a fence oh Wait no that was rob so one of these practical jokes that is just i've died laughing watching This is these guys essentially do this prank where they're gonna have one guy catch marshmallows so They're gonna throw a marshmallow up into the air and he's gotta catch it with his teeth oh no and So he does like five or six of them he can't get it he can't get it and he's gonna give him a hundred Bucks for every one he gets every one he catches so he gives him like four or five he finally Catches one and the guy's pumped he's jumping around he's like yes he takes the money he's Cocking off and so they do the next one and he throws a like an egg like an uncooked egg and he Catches this egg in his mouth and just starts gagging and vomiting all over it is so funny I thought you were gonna say he throws a golf ball you know like knocks out all of his teeth

[22:00]No no it's an egg no you know what i watched man i watched all the jackass videos with my girls And they think it's the funniest thing and there were a lot i had to fast forward like the one Where he starts peeing into a snow cone i was like we're not watching this we do that or like where He puts a firecracker up his dick hole i was like okay we can fast forward i didn't like when they Would do the physical stuff like remember didn't he didn't the one guy put a fish hook through his Mouth and like swim behind a boat like i don't like that fast forward the paper cut one i still Fast forward that one i was like we're not watching that but i did show my girls the one Where they stick their penis but is this a is this the podcast now should we just watch jackass Where they stick their penis with a snake costume on it or with a mouse costume on it into a Snake cage and they move it up and down until the snake bites into the penis you have never seen My daughter laugh so hard and i'm so excited because they are now filming jackass 4 and i'm Going to be there opening night in the theater with my kids watching it okay so good parenting

[23:00]That's the name of this podcast good parenting advice from rob thank you very much that's all Definitely very nice of matt for him to use his role and going to bring up people putting Their penises into a Rodent costume and putting them into a snake cage matt i appreciate you bringing that up yeah no Problem no problem that new mic's working out real well for you yeah thanks speaking of Sticking their into things russ rolling going how's it going with you I'm gonna edit all this out I'm gonna get an angry email from russ Must delete I'll save it though here i am red and i the reason i'm red right now is because i got a little Sunburn this weekend it's december 27th which means when i went to i decided i had to get out Of minneapolis i was tired of being stuck in having nowhere to go so i made the decision my

[24:00]Family had canceled all of our holiday events so we weren't going to people's houses we did a zoom Holiday but like i need to get out of here so i decided i'm gonna go to fort lauderdale for a few Days just went by myself all of us with families are just like immediately depressed so i wanted to Leave so i bought a plane ticket to fort lauderdale and you know my child's bedroom i don't know if It's the right thing to be doing traveling right now you probably shouldn't be doing that but i Figure i'm coming home i'm gonna be home at my house by myself afterwards and whatnot so i just Decided to do it but i thought this is a different trip right because you were trying to get a virus On this trip yes yeah that's your original i can't bring it up yes but so i thought i would Share some of my travel experiences with you and see what you guys think about some of these things Let's hear it so the first one i noticed this in the airport Sting there was so you realize like most airports all have hand dryers they don't have towels they

[25:00]Only have hand dryers and i noticed this in a bathroom in a restroom in in fort lauderdale They only had the hand dryers the air dryers and maybe people like aaron and his wife who want to No use paper don't use any products like the hand dryers i can't stand hand dryers in public Bathrooms like what is worse than like having to stand in a bathroom for like 30 40 seconds and Your hands still aren't dry and you've got your stuff all over everywhere you've got to like wipe Your hands on your jeans as you're walking out because you don't want people to think you pissed On yourself i just i hate public air dryers for public bathrooms what do you guys think well i Will say i want to bring it up again sometimes you do the reverse Where you accidentally pee yourself and then you have to go wash your hands and wipe on your Pants to make it look like you didn't pee yourself we will be talking about miles davis We'll be talking about that joke again i think they've shut down a lot of the hand dryers because They're actually not that sanitary they're as matt said they're not sanitary i think they take

[26:00]Up more energy i think it takes more energy to have those things blowing everywhere than it does For the five or six inches of paper that you used or whatever plus i will say without air dryers like In the air dryers they're not sanitary they're not sanitary they're not sanitary they're not sanitary In the i used to go to a gym here in new york that had air dryers in the locker room there would Be a less chance of a guy pointing the air dryer up and then drying his nuts on it in front of Everybody because there was a 100 chance at this gym that i would see that when i went in that is Like the old dude at the gym move isn't it the old guy with the air dryer have you ever seen those People when they skydive and you see their face and it's like flopping up and down because that's What it looked like but bigger it was somehow the parachute it was the size of a parachute that air Would hit it it would just go You Guy took off you hit the ceiling so so air dryers i kind of experienced oh that's right But one of the things i was gonna ask you guys so i was down there and i'm not really Typically like a you know hot place vacation i would rather go see history i'd rather go

[27:00]See a ball game or something like that i'm really not one to just go sit on the beach but It's like i'm gonna do this but i'm not a pool guy either i'm not built to go lay by the pool By a bunch of attractive looking people that are in super good shape laying by the pool I don't really want to lay out the sun because i'm gonna get sunburnt way too bad like so i went To the pool and i sat there and there's literally all these people sitting over in the sun and i'm The one guy who's like sitting by myself over in the shade because i didn't want to be by other People i didn't want to get sunburned and i realized like i'm i'm a pool unicorn i'm the Guy who goes and takes the shaded chair in the pool but there's so much like pool etiquette like People are whenever they see like someone get up and leave a better spot a better chair people Are like up running through the pool and they're like oh my god i'm gonna get sunburnt and i'm gonna Take chairs and i was just like overwhelmed by this so what's your guy's pool style when you're When you're at a resort or you're at a hotel no holds barred baby whatever i can do to get the Best chairs i want it but i will say this i don't like a chair close to the pool i like to back up So i'm not going to get wet and i also look around for people that i don't think are going to talk

[28:00]On their phone that's my number one thing i look for where i'm going to go i don't want to be Next to some person you know jabbering on their phone while i'm trying to sit there and ignore my Right because i forgot to bring a book so i have my phone and i can't see it in the sun i don't have Time to listen to people jab so that's what i do by the pool the last time i was at a pool at a Resort we were in maui in march of 2020 right before everything shut down you didn't skip the Pool so you could record the podcast while your wife and kid went that was pre-podcast in the Pre-podcast days i was gonna say aaron did tell us earlier that he did get a discount because he Went right at the height of the pandemic so very smart but again the nice thing about having a Three-year-old is that you can't go to the pool and you can't go to the pool and you can't go to Was that we were at the pool by you know 8 a.m especially on hawaii time so we were there by 8 A.m there's nobody around it was great i know you're there earlier than eight when i fly with The kids when they were younger i was up at like 4 30 yeah 4 30 pretty much i was out there and They were like yeah they were setting up like an outdoor market it was just me and this kid

[29:00]In a stroller and i was like this is a nightmare that's how it works yeah so that we lucked out Then you're like by the time he's ready to eat lunch at 10 a.m that's when the pool's getting Busy so i missed all i missed the whole pool culture last time i was there matt would you I i can't stand sitting around by i mean no i mean i'm with you i'd rather go walk and go see What's going on or go up and down the beach or i don't know i mean trying to relax by a pool it's Just with rob's take you know somebody's on their phone you got like four chicks next to you who are Not very good looking and they're wearing the worst not enough clothes clothing they're all Good looking if you have enough of those those cocktail drinks that they give you a little You know then yeah or if you're just trying to hang out with like you know some of your buddies Or something or your wife and some friends and then somebody's always wedging their way in there To try hey where are you guys from it's like i don't want to fucking talk oh man like public Pool talkers are the worst yeah so so i try to do everything i can to not put myself in those

[30:00]Situations russell and you know sarah and her friends can go hang out by the pool i'll come I'll just go gamble in vegas or something instead so you mentioned talking to people at the pool Obviously this is kind of you know we're at a different time right now people don't really want Strangers coming up and being close to them but like if you were a single guy would you Take a chance of talking to a woman at a pool or are you immediately like flagged as the creep if You will yes do that yes the answer is yes if it was an opportunity to talk to a woman when i was Single the answer is always yes now in real life of course i wouldn't i would like cry i think it Probably really depends i think it depends i think if you're a super attractive guy you can talk to Someone at the pool i don't think that's true i don't think that's true i don't think that's true That's what i think if if you're under like the 41 percentile i think you're a creep if you talk To someone i i don't know i think i don't i think you could be i don't i don't you could be the best Looking dude in the world if you're there by yourself nice talking to or trying to pick up

[31:00]People there's something it's like you know what's going on here either hey it's pandemic Time i'm just taking time off great you know let's talk about it but like if you're the best Looking dude in the world and you're just there like roaming around i don't know i think you're That puts up red flags i don't think i don't think it's it's a it's not a it's not a given That you know like you can just go do that if you're a good looking dude i don't know That's just i will say a good looking dude in a hotel by himself at the pool is that is a red flag Big time yeah does it make it even weirder if they're there on christmas i just realized The worst part about that is like that story was spot on except for i'm not a good looking dude so Really the story is like ugly dude i'm not a good looking dude i'm not a good looking dude At we just need to move on like three levels i'm gonna have to take another vacation after this Podcast i mean i don't know yeah i'm not really like the person to answer this question but You know i think in that situation you have to really be prepared to talk about something

[38:00]Headset on if you want to refer to that how cool i look there is no way to look cool wearing a vr Headset you look like a huge dork not like i normally look where i'm the cool guy by the pool All right let's talk about we're ready to talk about dorks kid and play yeah yes i'll i'll give You guys each 20 bucks if we can do kid and play instead of this album right now terrible all right Let's talk about kid a russell not kid and play okay please don't make puns anymore like that That's my area of the podcast so let me go i don't like that when you go that makes me think You're really bad all right let's talk about this was in 1997 Okay let's go back in the wayback machine oh you're just going like straight dick shit you're Going straight encyclopedia tonight well here's the thing is that i think the best way to think About this album is that you have to think about what they're doing beforehand which was okay Computer 1997 huge hit for him put him on the map every they were one of the biggest rock bands at

[39:00]The time period and i actually did my due diligence i listened to okay computer today and i gotta say It is it's you can hear what you're hearing on kid a which is a lot of synth and computer sounds And it's rock and that's all this stuff but tom york was just totally stressed from that tour he Hated it it was a terrible point in his life and on top of that he had writer's block couldn't Think of anything to write so he decided that they were going to totally diverge from what They're doing they're going to make an album that focused less on melodies and more on rhythms which Is interesting when you listen to it where they were like we don't give a shit what the singer's Saying like we just want to create kind of a feel with it and a lot of what he did is that he You know he would take the lyrics and cut them out of the album and he would take the lyrics and cut Them up and then just put them in randomly you know and at the time on their website they Had how to make a dadaist poem do you guys know what dada art is that's how i do all my first Dates where i just say random thoughts without stringing any of them together in any sort of Coherent matter it's really well for me i thought you're going to say that you make them call you Dada makes them call them daddy might make more sense do you ever start a date like that like

[40:00]You can call me daddy just once can you try that and record it audio and then we'll play it on the Texting now just once messaging now okay i got a message from russ edit podcast no no but so dada Art and i when i taught middle school english class i used to bring this up all the time it's The idea of like where the guy just put a urinal in a museum and he said this is it was duchamp and He just said this is art everybody's like well that's not art he's like it's in the museum it's Art so it's the idea of like not making something showing like how fake everything is and that's Music but it's not what you think of he referred to the rock music at the time as a refrigerator Buzz and he didn't want to be part of just that bland white noise so they came out with this he Was listening to a lot of electronic music they came out with this album kid a and basically It debuted at number one in the u.s it's their only it's their first number one album in the

[41:00]U.s but at the end of the day it only sold a third as many albums now part of that is that it was Leaked on napster two weeks ahead of time but part of that too is that when this came out Half the rate the radio head fans hated it and they won't admit it now it's kind of like a dylan Going electric they all say they love it now but i you know and if i was a radio head aficionado At this time i would have been completely pissed off at this because you go from their earlier Stuff you got the caramel police and you've got the high and dry and all this and all of a sudden You go to this i would have been at like what in the hell is this like when you hear it first blush You know like we've got the we've got the ability to listen to this 20 years After it's come out and kind of hear the everything else that's come behind it which I personally like this album but i would have totally been in that radio head camp Of what in the hell do they do what are they trying to do here with this if if i would Have been a big fan back then because the thing about this album is that it's it seems influential

[42:00]To us now looking back but i did my due diligence today too rob and this album was of its time it Was a lot like other things so when i did my due diligence today and listened to apex twin i tried Listened to otaker last night that one's a little too mathematical for me but this album sounds like Other things that were happening at the time so it it took a lot of those sounds into to a different Audience and including the human voice was a big change from what was going on in electronic Music but this wasn't you know completely out of the blue nothing's ever been like it before Aaron shut up for a second here's the thing is that was extra i shouldn't have done That all right here's the thing is that i so you guys are saying this is an influential album Why don't i hear albums like this then i mean are we talking that this was influential because it's Not a it's not a radio album you don't you could find albums like this if you yeah right yeah but You know every time this has happened in the past rolling stones brought you know blues To america and all this stuff you know it's been on the radio and you know bruce springsteen's

[43:00]Bringing out that long right you know it's all been on the radio this is not a radio album right You don't hear this there's not a station that plays these songs and so that's why i think It kind of flies under the radar a little bit as it's not radio hits that come out of here i i think A great way to sum up this album is to listen to how people describe it electronica experimental Rock post rock alternative rock post prog ambient electronic rock and art rock yeah now i do love They might be giants and there are some things in this that sound like they might be giants where It's kind of i consider that kind of an art rock nerd rock type stuff but i did hear a ton of like Just soundscape ambient ambient Noise oh it's great i mean for me it was if you listen to headphones you got you can we can start Getting into the tracks to russell's point you know but if we want to if you have headphones on You're listening to this it's way different than just listening to it off your phone or Some sort of speaker and i was walking around doing some post-holiday trying to find my

[44:00]My blow-ups at menards and home depot which they were sold out of so it was a complete waste So but you know listening to headphones it was great I was just at peace i was just at peace so well let's get into the album all right let's talk About it so we start off with probably the biggest most popular song on the album everything in its Right place and this is this has been on a number of movies a number of tv shows was recently on the Hbo had a about this cult and it was going through the whole cult how they started And this is it was just it's phenomenal it's phenomenal background did you think that keith Ranieri had a lot of good ideas though i thought so i was like this is the other one This is the other call one oh shoot those first chords let you know exactly too what the album's Going to be about like oh this is different like you hear it right away and it's different I also thought it's cool how they're using tom's voice here it actually reminds me of Prince's voice on when doves cry so it shows you also that this has been done you're taking the Human voice you're running through some other process and then it comes out something different

[45:00]Use it as texture i know this is the sucking on a lemon song so in in in cheers of that tonight i Drinking truly original lemonade so why do i feel like you just had some lemonade seltzers lying Around and you're using you're just like i'm not wasting anything good on this album did brian Setzer work on this album at all i could bring that in no sets or seltzer all right so he did Write this song originally on piano but nobody liked it until he transferred it to the synths And this was the song because all of his bandmates were really nervous about making his album because They're so different there's no real like the guitar player's like i'm not i didn't contribute A bunch to a bunch of these songs like That was really hard for me as being a band but they said when they finished this song they said This is the album and it's going to be great like they knew instantly and in fact they said if We weren't able to put out an album we were just going to break up because he didn't want to make That same old crap anymore and they ended up making so many songs that they used they were Going to make a double album and then they put all their songs onto the next album next up okay

[46:00]And aaron don't do it don't laugh at this now this is the titular track This one might be my favorite i like but i'm i'm a sucker for like that sort of glockenspiel-esque Sound i don't know what instrument that is and then i i think it's just because aaron's got head On sticks and not but that's that's why i thought it was and here if i know listen if you Could try to listen to the background there's a really low bass in there and i don't know if we Could hear it you know through zoom or whatever but you know when you've got headphones on you Really hear it in this one and that's that kind of bass in there and i don't know if we could hear That kind of that melancholy low beat that just kind of puts you in a nice calm mood i think but I'm with i i i really like this song as well this was another album by the way when you tried to Find out what it was about tom york is just giving you the bullshit over and over there's like three Different sources with different stuff does it have to be about something well and that's the

[47:00]Point is that this kid a is actually named after a file that came with his synthesizer and so he's Like i'm just gonna call it canada because oh my god that's a good joke i should write that down Done will do okay i mean there's a joke not me there's a 100 chance that kid cuddy has spent Entire nights whacked out on whatever drugs kid cuddy does listening to this album right i mean Rob for you to say i don't hear music like this it's like no this is super influential like everyone Who's a musician now to be fair i heard this music standing in my underwear in my bedroom At 10 o'clock last night with my hands up in the air like this going yeah you would You would love rob dub this in over this but there's a there's a guy out of philly i think Called suburban You know suburban he's a like kind of this he's like thinking of t-urban nope suburban and he's Kind of got it he absolutely pulled his latest song off of this track right here so i Don't know it's it's crazy and let's listen to it now why are we pausing there's no reason to pause

[48:00]I'm gonna edit it in guys we didn't need to pause yeah i can hear the simulators hey you know what Oh say we should all stand up for this one Yeah this is the national anthem All rise no that's a court not the national anthem here this all right what the hell are you talking About that bass guitar in the background there yeah it goes through oh so this was the Bass line he wrote when he was 16 and he they set up this song inspired by the jazz musician Charles mingus a little hi-hat in there Oh i thought you're telling me to turn what do you guys think oh what do you guys think of like The point on some of these songs like the end of this is just these horns blaring back and forth Like there's no i don't know what they're trying to do musically but it literally sounds like a Terrible fifth grade band you guys enjoy that part of these songs or not yep i'm gonna tell you

[49:00]It's interesting to ask about if i enjoyed it or not it this whole album and we've talked About this album a few times it piques my curiosity enough to know that i i don't know If i'm enjoying it or not but it sparks my interest and i think about it and yeah and then knowing That they were interested in mingus i get it i just think he just does this do i think it's Interesting too and yeah do i think it's interesting more than do i like it you know i Think it's an interesting track and i enjoyed listening will i go back to russell Admittedly probably not very many times right this was the first dance at my wedding yeah Well russell wasn't there yet because he was still picking up Statues that's probably good that it wasn't he wasn't there yet he would have left right then One thing i noticed on this album was kind of they were kind of messing with the voices And i was reading about it and so they're using this thing called a ring modulator which i believe Aaron was also included on the early moog synthesizers yes but so i started wondering

[50:00]What are some other famous songs that have used the ring modulator so i came up with this for you This is gonna be fun are you guys talking about moog rings that Change color when you're moog By the way my daughter and we'll get into it but my daughter did get a mood ring for The holidays this year and she is just bummed about it she's like i'm sad Is it all oh yeah she's always blue she's like i'm sad i'm like no sweetie the ring is wrong You are not just sad she's like i feel fine but i must be sad i was like no don't do this Commie work is right consumerism culture is killing us all can't you get like a fake one Where it only has the good colors that's a great idea russell i'm gonna delete this part but that's A great good mood rings good moog rings they also distort your voice when You sing into it okay go ahead not all right the first song on the list so sometimes these i don't Really know if i'm factually correct on all this stuff i'm just reading what i could find

[51:00]And but mike will tell me but it seems like people use these ring modulators differently like Kid on kid a they're using it on some of the lyrics they use it with some of the guitar but so i'm Guys like now wait a minute what is a ring modulator can you explain this to me Because what i'm picturing is it makes dirty to even say Well this also makes things sound wobbly so it could be somewhat similar i guess it can constrict Things so it's more interesting constrict things oh my god my understanding is it kind of takes Two separate inputs and then creates a different sound and it can make it something sound more Wobbly or make it oh no my vr headset heard you and it searched it well better put that on to you Guys later It constricts things and holds things back for a while oh yeah so the first song is billy cobham It's called red baron and this is they're using one of these ring modulators on a keyboard So i think it starts kind of changing here in a second What year is this it's like screwing with the sound of the keyboard yeah this is good i mean

[52:00]This sounds like something you would hear on kid a I like this is fun this is named after my third favorite kind of pizza Cobham red baron What are your top two what are your top i love cobham jacks i love tony's said nobody ever Two dollar jack's pizza tony's totino's tostitos and i like the bigfoot from little caesars Man there used to be one coat i'm not gonna do this let's keep going with the list Wait aaron wrote a sign on a sign double meat oh aaron my vr headset heard that i'm still trying To play better next up is all right here might be the most famous of the ring modulator When it comes to vocals it's the beginning of iron man by black sabbath you guys will all know

[53:00]This part i don't i haven't heard about any iron man yet I suppose we could afford there we go This has got to be the most famous use of it right i played this one for my son not that Long ago and it blew his mind he loved it oh you're a terrible father yeah was he terrified Or did he like it or what he doesn't even care about those werewolves yeah more than So the really interesting thing is Fucking rocks black Sabbath also really used this on the song paranoid and the guitar player at the time Hated that they used this ring modulator on the guitar solo on paranoid which actually became one Of their most famous kind of sounds and one of their most famous songs and at the time he hated It and over time he's just become used to the fact that well they kind of mess with my sound With this ring modulator but check this one out this is the solo in paranoid

[54:00]Oh i never understood that makes sense So that's one solo i always thought that was like multiple guitars Because on my headphones i hear it on the story of music is the story of technology there's all These sounds that you're always like wow how did the guitar do that oh it turns out they Used some enhancements russell this is amazing and so my favorite of all time was music that Is associated with the tv show and we'll see if you guys recognize this it's the end credits to The tv show south park you'll recognize the song but they use a ring modulator for part of this and This was les claypool from primus that wrote these songs for south park Oh yeah that's cool It's good you can hear the sort of varying degrees of modulation you can go through right like some Of these were a little bit less and then this one's kind of extreme i wonder if i can find a Free ring modulation plug-in online and do it to my voice so magic's like 69 i'm sure it's gonna

[55:00]I'm sure magic mike 69 is going to bring the pain on everything i got wrong with that but There's the history of ring modulators and where it's cool this is good Bang russell that's so good i am iron man and then i come out and iron your shirt Now is it cool if you're playing golf with people every time You hit a shorter shot you go i am iron man I am driver man that doesn't make sense because you do that first on the first hole they're like I am driver man but then they get the joke later when you say i am iron the worst part about golfing With rob is when he never hits it past the women's tees and then he's always playing with his pants Down for the rest of the hole it gets really annoying after like six holes rob you can pull Your pants up especially what he's doing with his vr goggles the first time is enough rob it's good

[56:00]I'm the only guy you see kicking the ball backwards oh wow that one went past the tees oh let me go look Okay rob's standing in his living room with no pants on swinging a fake golf club while he's Wearing his vr goggles that he got from his parents well the kid cutting concert hadn't Started yet that's why i was doing that okay i'll always wear pants with my vr goggles just kidding Think about what we talked about rob's parents and then when rob's parents find out what he's Doing with those vr goggles he wants to disappear i'm going to edit this out but i will say this Trying to standing up is a young man's game i'm going to say that right now It is not easy to do burning and with the vr goggles you can't lie down And look down because the horizon is still where the horizon is so you can't like see it on a screen Ahead of you well no if you're like jerking it lying down where it is why do you need to look Down like because it's vr you can look around and see everything so if you just lie on your Back and look up at the ceiling you're literally seeing the ceiling in the porn scene is that what

[57:00]You're into aaron oh you sick freak don't make me keep this in i can't don't make any good jokes i Cannot keep this part in So you gotta like the popcorn on the top of that ceiling Lying on your back and then you're trying to see us like your toes like that's what you have to do It's almost not you're speaking rosie's language okay no no no stop it you just prop up on some Pillows or something there's got to be like there's ways i'm not just in don't make me keep This in don't say funny stuff and don't reference it later seriously i'm not talking about it with My vr just in case your mom's listening you can play the next song anytime Rob you're the you're the captain of the ship you're the master host or whatever you said Okay master host you're trying to make me talk about vr again i'm not going to do it i'm not Falling into that trap all right let's talk about how to this so in the last after the last Podcast russ was like i really like it when you make puns of the album track names and i'm really Trying to do it but it really has slowed me down guys so but i'm going to try here okay

[58:00]How to disappear how to okay i got this when i only like apples it's how to Disappear nailed it oh you're so soft squishy eating you is no problem bear first joke i've Ever heard why do you agree so easily on this week's podcast to be rob i do not like when you Make puns during the song title big tracks one thing i'll say is i really did not enjoy this Album at all tom york said this is the most beautiful song they ever did and i have to agree I completely agree this song is beautiful it's kind of like haunting And i really enjoyed this one this was my favorite song i like all of the songs that don't Have guitar on this album it's weird i a radiohead is such a guitar band in my mind but i think The guitar based songs in this album are the weakest parts and this one yeah i love it and There's probably a guitar in there somewhere music mike's gonna nail me on it but you know What i'm trying to say like the driving guitar is absent he's gonna not be listening to this

[59:00]After what we said about him in the kanye episode so we need to stop referencing oh he'll be back He'll be back he'll come crawling back he likes it when we make fun of him you sicko He'll probably be listening to it while he's walking around with his headphones on talking With people yeah right what's your guys's favorite christmas song okay now i made fun Of him for something i actually liked so here's the deal wait i i feel like you just stole my Bumble opener rob did you get that from my bumble account too or not this is not good Russell do you have a little special request on bumble it's roberta yes rob Let's fuck all right so i will say my wife must love this song because i've noticed in my Google history searches how to disappear completely it's just typed in over and over Only when she's home so i didn't know she was such a big fan i i was gonna ask her but i was No time to ask Busy looking straight down but no by the way i'm gonna say this getting caught

[1:00:00]Off is embarrassing getting caught off with vr goggles on humiliated and it's actually even worse Because when you turn off the goggles what they do is they show you a camera of what you're looking At it's bad it's really bad okay so that the refrain of that song where he he repeats to Himself i'm not here this isn't happening is from his okay computer tour he was so stressed out that He called michael stipe so you know you're in big trouble when you're calling michael stipe to be Like mentally like level turn yeah and he goes well can you see me He goes no i'm over here he goes is that you in the middle of the room and you know what michael Stipe said that's me in the corner no he actually said yeah but michael stipe said to him just say To yourself just close the blinds and say to yourself over and over i'm not here this isn't Happening so i was thinking that's good advice right like that sounds like the most midwestern Minnesota advice of like don't worry about it it's not happening shove it down it'll go away

[1:01:00]It's not going to affect you later stop it down there and never bring it up ever again yeah it's A slip right it's when you say something and you mean your mom i mean no wait that's not the joke I'm going to say that again it's when you say one thing and you mean your mother i mean that's the Joke okay worth it nailed rob when you get caught with the vr goggles on is the creepy noise that You're making is that like the same sound that this song tree ringers is playing for the whole Time is that a similar creepy type sound because i already have a pun about tree fingers i thought I walked today did you guys hear about the guy who worked in the sawmill and had an accident Yeah his name now is no three fingers he's irish part of the joke i forgot to say Three fingers i think that's norwegian boy i'm patio three fingers that's there it is nailed it So i i recognize this song this sounds like the creepy beginning to a u2 song but it's the whole

[1:02:00]Yeah it's like the whole track yeah no lyrics just filler It sounds like a big church organ i love it colin greenwood of the band has come out and said that This song shows his desire to make an album that's not too long or too boring not sure how that song Is not too boring did he get one sounds nice and short i will say that i do it's a quick one yeah 10 songs fast no problem russell still give me the speed it up sign all right this is a song When i go get my eyes checked optimistic i'm not doing this anymore russell this is torture for Me okay you're right i'm not allowed to make this song i'm not allowed to make this song i'm not Going to make suggestions anymore this is not going well but it is if i go see a witch about My eyes it's an optimistic Oh i kind of like that i'm back baby i'm back i've never left At least rob's not swearing Yeah this is the one that's like to me a little bit more like what you imagine radiohead to be

[1:03:00]And i don't like it as much as the other stuff on the album well that's probably because you're It's about your favorite song it's about your favorite song it's about your favorite song it's about Your favorite thing consumerism talking about a big fish or eating the little ones he's talking About businesses getting bigger but in the end he's saying a phrase that his partner said to him Which is try the best you can is good enough that's not true for any of you by the Way i went and took rob's advice and i went and bought a filet-o-fish from mcdonald's Because i'd never had cheese or no cheese no okay i've never had one i want to be clear about that I say i've had one because i never it was like the d'angelo poster that's a lot well you knew There was cheese on it On it i figured you had to have had it if you know what i'm in mcdonald's i'm always looking around In case anybody drops a fry i'm a real fry spy So in this case i was the big fish and i ate about half of the little fish and i i don't Get it i don't understand why put the mcrib on all season long i would never get rid of that Filet-o-fish well the filet-o-fish is for catholics i mean i was listening to that episode we were Editing i was like well that's why they have it right yeah it's like on fridays right

[1:04:00]Yeah consumerism you want to Apologize to the catholics russell republicans buy sneakers too oh that's a different Thing i feel like john lennon got in trouble for making like this one so i'm not gonna even comment Turns out we're bigger than john lennon and jesus all right so we have rob you're gonna be in Limbo forever for making a joke like that i can't believe you made that joke you're gonna be in limbo For way too long from a higher power this is what happens to a flail fish when rush limbo eats it It's in limbo russell please You torture me with this i cannot come up with a good one every time But i was gonna say this is russell down in florida in limbo I like this one i thought this was like hypnotic Yeah i guess this one yeah this one's got guitars and i do enjoy this one So maybe i'm wrong about my previous take So

[1:05:00]One of the things that i thought about a lot listening this album was As i said i tried to listen to other electronic music of the time i guess they call it idm Intelligent dance music i don't know wait say that again edm idm there's there's something Called idm i looked at pitchfork's list of the 50 greatest idm records of all time i tried to Listen to parts of all of them and none of them have human voice in them and then it made me Think about public enemy it reminded me of the way public enemy used flave of flave but also Snippets of other voices as music and as texture and so i think that's kind of what radiohead's doing Here and i don't know if they were listening to public enemy but somehow to me those two things Are linked and it might just be recency bias but i like how they're using the human voice as an Instrument and this one is is a big example of that you know you're talking about ibm makes me Think about my nuts big blue idm oh idm okay well that joke is worthless

[1:06:00]By the way i had an ibs joke locked and loaded too Well you might as well let us save it for the end rob ibs you say rob Yeah it's no i didn't actually have one right man how can you call me out on that I had the semblance of a joke as in just say ibs all right the next one up idioteka idiotek Basically what we call our it guys That was a good one is this what this podcast is now russell what have you done I was listening to this album in the car with my son today and he said turn it up So if there's any chance if there was any chance of him not being like one of us it's gone now he Said to turn it down listen to this song can you imagine him going to school and the teacher's like Hey whatever his name is i already forgot actually i probably should say that on there

[1:07:00]I'm gonna beep out your kid's name like it's a swear word all right what why did i say the beep What's your favorite song i like idioteka by radiohead oh my god i'm calling the cops Immediately reporting this parent's obviously on molly all the time It was kind of interesting how they wrote this song basically one guy took and made random Samples for about 40 minutes on a tape tom york listened to the whole thing and cut out 40 seconds in the middle loop that and he was like yeah that's the part i like And that's how they made the song out of it so there you go that's the one that most Reminded me of pure electronica as i think of it like a craftwork type thing or yeah exactly With the drum machine right i i think one of my heart one of my biggest challenges with this album Is i think back to when we were in college there was a guy in our dorm so on one end i went to School with aaron in our freshman year and aaron was went to school for vocal performance so aaron

[1:08:00]Did he's a singer can probably play the trombone at least to a second chair level but there was a Kid at the other end of our dorm who had like the turntable he was doing like the electronic music And i'm having a hard time listening to this thinking that guy could be considered a better Musician than aaron because he could do something like this when i don't see like where the talent Comes from i understand like it's messing with computers and whatnot or or technology but i have A hard time understanding listening to this why these people would be considered better musicians Than someone like aaron who could sing his ass off well i think radio had proved that they can do it All right i mean that's that's partially why i picked that song creep for the opener right is Like none of these songs like matt said none of these songs are radio songs i literally tried to Think of some karaoke to some of these and i was like i'm gonna do it and i was like i wonder if People in the crowd will care the crowd our audience will care if i do creep when it's not On this album and i was like why do i care about that's so stupid creep is such a fun song to Sing i'm gonna do it anyway i took your question and made it about me sorry about that i guess the

[1:09:00]Thing about that i'm imagining and i'm not russell you're very generous about my musical Talents which are not as great as you described but thank you but you remember that guy who we Used to play this type of you know he made kind of electronic music and if someone at the time Would have said i think that guy's a better musician than you aaron i think i would have Been annoyed yeah that's true i think what i'm imagining now what i'm imagining now and this Isn't going to be fair either is what if aretha covered this album and radiohead Tried to make i've never loved a man the way i loved you like which would have come out better I think it would be aretha doing this album because she was a great keyboardist as well As a great singer and radiohead would fall on their faces trying to make i've loved I've never loved a man the way i loved you but maybe something great would have come out Of both that's a really interesting question i that's fascinating to me i love to think about Aretha trying to do a radio album i think that'd be fun but i don't know would she be able to do An album like this where like you're you like can you imagine making

[1:10:00]An album and you're like we don't care about the lyrics we're just going to cut them up who cares I mean think of what like kendrick lamar you think yeah when i was reading about this album though Part of this was they were just trying to figure this technology out on the go like i don't Think they were experts in this technology they were just kind of not i shouldn't say throwing Shit at the wall but they were trying to like figure this out as they went so like who's To say you couldn't give rob and matt and aaron the same technology and you guys couldn't do Something just as well right all right that's why that's why i keep saying There were other bands doing this that's why i kept saying there in spite of our Other bands doing this and i think that to me the big difference is adding tom's voice back in there Which isn't necessarily a great voice but it it works really well for this album but man now i Want it now i want to well it the whole thing but it's a it's a known band too like if this Was their first album i mean they don't make it to the second album right i mean they have this Back catalog that they can fall back on they can go do live shows they can go play all the

[1:11:00]Festivals they can go play all the tours they want in you know for this album but they've got Their catalog to play back on you know they got sick of playing their back catalog and they didn't Want to create that anymore so they're pivoting to this new style right but in the end i mean They've they've created enough equity in what they've done in the past to be able to do this You know this time around it's it's great when bands and people have the ability to do this Because this is completely just their own You know what's coming off of that has anything to do with selling records isn't anything to do With trying to please the record heads as anything to do with anything but trying to put Out what they want to put out and they've had the ability they've built up that equity and now they Can do it and send you know now we're here talking what is the 20th greatest album of all time they Can't do that if they didn't get everything before them before but are there guys in their basement Making stuff that's just as good yeah possibly right yeah for sure but again it comes but

[1:12:00]It comes down to you know consumerism or you know let's let's take it to that right if somebody Doesn't buy it i mean it can only go as far as that guy's basement then right i i would argue Though that a person in their basement is not going to make this whole album they might hit a Song i don't think they would be able to create an album like this no because you there are actually More instruments than you can fit in a basement you're right wait that wasn't even okay i thought You're making some sort of vr porn joke again and i was like But i and especially you wouldn't have a guy in your basement go back and be able to make okay Computer and go back and be able to make creep right i mean it just wouldn't happen The next song is like the opening scene in beauty and the beast morning bell that's a cut For my kids don't listen to this kids i just talk about vr oh my god my kids are gonna listen to This when i die i thought rob for sure here was gonna talk his morning or something on this one

[1:13:00]This might be my favorite track on the album i love this one I just love when he says release me i feel that's the one that i can relate to To look behind the curtain we did this album as a test of the podcast right away and we Realized we had gold on our hands immediately of course and i said on that podcast i Said you know i am going to listen to this album again not true have not listened to it since then Like even that's I do enjoy it but that voice and the noise it's not something that makes me i and it was fun to Walk around new york city today listening to this album but i i had to kind of force myself To do it for sure but that's one of the fun things about this podcast is there are many things like You know fleetwood mac rumors i never ever i'm gonna listen to that again but i really enjoyed The week i spent listening to it so there's this none of this stuff none of this album is necessarily Going to stick in my quiver of regular rotation but i've enjoyed diving into it and talking to you guys

[1:14:00]About it and hearing your thoughts yeah well this album is kind of like going to the dentist right Turns you on what rob your mic's off okay so nobody else gets turned on go to the dentist check My sister's a dentist i just remembered all right motion picture soundtrack can you see rob like Sitting at the dentist while he's laying down and they he's like can you arch my chair i can't see What i want to be seeing while i'm laying completely horizontal he's got like the vr goggles out of There like mr this is a family practice i'm just picturing myself getting fired from my job because People are listening to me talk about self-love okay first of all everyone does it okay it's okay To do you prudes while wearing vr goggles in the bathroom in the shower running so my family can't Hear it coming through the speakers but whatever like it's not like i've done it okay you lie down I've never done that i love this numbing rob loves the numbing agent that they apply to him that

[1:15:00]Allows him to last longer We have gone all the way off the rails they put it in my mouth how will i get it to the tip of my Penis they come back in sir not again comparative remove some of your ribs Swish and spit speaking of dennis did you know that the reason they know everything about you When you come in is that they write it down in a freaking book when they talk you said that in like Episode three yeah it's crazy to me so my my dentist book like just says self suck real big And then like Don't allow him to wear vr goggles two dentists you know those big plastic Shields that people wear now because of the pandemic they've got to wear two of those where Rob comes into the office i had one on the bottom all right just pressing up against like put him On the glass i'm putting it on the glass myself i'm putting it right here all right

[1:16:00]Is there usually a soundtrack to your vr motion picture there is this is a motion picture Soundtrack final song on the album they said they were trying to make this sound like a 1950 disney Movie and then they did it i mean this is a is this the most depressing way to end an album Ever i mean listen it's yeah it's rough I read that nigel goodrich who was the producer for kid a also produced a few of beck's albums so The mutations sea change the information that makes sense and these albums were actually noted As being kind of a big change for back too because it had more of like this atmospheric sound that You hear on this than some of his other like more rap type focus or or i'd say hip-hop or whatever You want to call his earlier albums but in 2010 night nigel goodrich actually worked with beck to Compose the movie score for the movie scott pilgrim versus the world and so rob if you want To pull up ramona by beck

[1:17:00]So this is ramona by beck produced by nigel goodrich who worked with on kid a you can Probably hear like somewhat of a similar sound sounds like bully it does sound like so i gotta Ask you guys while kid a had the track called motion picture soundtrack i think when It comes to making songs on motion picture soundtracks with nigel goodrich who did it Better beck did it better beck definitely did it better beck did it better that was good russ okay So that is it let's get into everyone's favorite and you know what do we get a lot of text messages Making fun of aaron for some reason i don't know who would encourage that kind of behavior Yes do i get even more texts saying they love the rating system yes i do And now it's time for everybody's favorite part of the show The Oh that's right i'm i'm hosting i gotta tell you the main host

[1:18:00]Oh wait it's the main before i am the main host what just happened to rob Rob just completely i don't know i was i don't know i was just like staring off into space Who knows why could be any reason all right so my final rating i guess they did too rob put those Vr goggles down and pull your pants back up before we Please i'm playing the big radio game again ignore me please rob can we go one episode Without you watching the hulk go get sex tape on your vr goggles can we just go one You know when you wear the vr goggles you feel like you ate a bunch of sushi The menu just says fuck friend's wife and you're like click the only option Oh wait when you do real well though you can also bankrupt a gawker okay so let's too many

[1:19:00]Filet-o-fish brother extra cheese definitely official looks like my skin tone brother You do bronies all right eat a bunch of sushi full pig but all right joke i just sped up the Joke there i ran out of time okay so is this album kid a by radiohead 20th on our list okay Is it rolling well toned it belongs at number 20 okay It is a score of an album nailed it is this album rolling boned it's too low on the list It should have been higher should have been 1918 17 16 or is this a rolling groan you did not Like this album it should not be a 20 it should be lower on the list or off the list and when I say lower i mean a higher number so if we're looking at the list on a website it would be Lower except for the rolling stone website which actually counts down to one in that case it would Be higher so it's that simple what is happening what's the Rating on the list it's too low on the list it should have been higher except for the rolling What's the rating name if we don't think it should be on the list at all that is a rolling

[1:20:00]Let's see rhyme.com stone no no that's a rolling Get out of my zone russell don't put me on the spot i'm not good at this Oh sorry okay now i need to start over okay is this rolling well okay russell what do you think What is your rating for this album we did that we did an episode of this podcast in one of our trial Runs and we did an episode of this podcast in one of our trial runs and we did an episode of this And i just shit on it the whole time it was such a bad episode i i never allowed these guys to play It i hopefully send me 50 bucks i will send it to you a good friend of mine matt once said if you Don't like it just say it's not for you and move on so i'll kind of do that i don't get the music I respect that it speaks to other people and it's kind of unique and different and it really Resonates with some people it doesn't resonate with me at all i don't find it enjoyable honestly I don't really see where the actual talent comes from with this music and i really don't understand The following I think some of the following i believe probably comes from people liking this new kind of unique

[1:21:00]And different music so they can feel like kind of they're in the know and kind of exclude other People who don't get it and so it's just not for me i don't enjoy it it's it's it's rolling grown For me when you see some of the albums that are coming up on our list i just don't see how this Can be rated ahead of born to run by bruce springsteen ready to die the velvet underground Sergeant peppers which used to be one on the list you're Telling me this is better than that album tapestry horses and then of course So i just don't see why this is zero episodes if we've listened to if we've listened to matt and I've probably listened to 200 and 250 albums this is probably in my bottom 10 or 15 that we've Listened to so rolling between actually between russ matt and rosie you've also listened to About 250 albums on the list all right rosie what do you think rolling well tone Rolling bone or rolling grown i as russell mentioned this is the second time around for

[1:22:00]Us with this album every time i've listened to it i've enjoyed it i think it's fascinating it it Piques my curiosity i i respect it as a work of art and a document of where music was at the time I don't think it's better than enter the wu-tang as russell mentioned or better than many of the Albums that will come after i also take particular issue with radiohead's own admission that They were inspired by mingus and i don't even think mingus is on this list anywhere so mingus And mingus mingus and black saint and the single lady don't make it in here at all So as much as i don't want to be negative about this album because i do really like it I think for purposes of the list i will say it is a rolling grown Oh it's real late in the episode for this who did you say after mingus mingus Please don't condescend to us we know that what is what was the one you said after mingus didn't

[1:23:00]You say something well there's mingus and there's black saints in the center lady which I think black saint in the center lady is my favorite mingus album Okay let's go around what's our favorite mingus album all right actually i used to have a couple Of charles mingus albums yeah right you don't want to brag your friend all right matt rolling Well-toned rolling bone to rolling grown what do you think i am going to say this is rolling grown But not I'm going to say this is rolling grown but not In a not in a bad way i'm kind of with the other guys that there's so many other Albums that could be placed above it i look at you know each of these you know we're kind of Going through this section at the end i kind of look at where does this fit in right like Stevie wonder has a section of a of the population that he'll always speak to and the beatles always Have a section bob dylan you know this is probably the first i don't know section for maybe I don't know i don't know 35 to 50 year old white males who never played sports in high school kind of a deal you know i

[1:24:00]Don't know like i feel like there's this huge population out there that just doesn't care for Pop music you know and this is exactly what speaks to them and you know it's not on the radio it's Something that's not the top 100 list trying to sell albums yeah radio head not on the radio Aaron's scouring the radio All right worth it worth that joke move on so yeah so you know i think where it was it used to Be at 67 you know that probably feels a little closer to where i think it should be but that Being said every time i listen to it i thoroughly enjoy it just like rosie said i i do like the Earlier stuff it is a little more commercial so you know maybe i'm half the problem but you Know i do like radio head as a band and so i don't think i would have listened to this album if we I don't know if i'll come back to it but i did enjoy it and i'll end by just saying yeah

[1:25:00]Rolling boned it should be have a higher number which means it's lower on the list on December 24th here excuse me it's midnight it's midnight here so it's actually the 20 December 28th temperatures drop below zero it's dropped below zero here i didn't forget to mention One thing this was nominated for best album of the year it didn't win alternative album it did Win best alternative album of the year and that's when it won the best alternative album of the year Did you say me oh guys she's back So you is she giving a rating i don't have a rating but i heard you were talking about vr I've used vr goggles i stick them up my gotta go bye oh granny so dirty Almost made it that's like you guys ever play that game what's cards against humanity and Some people they try to say like the clever thing and some people they try to say like the clever People just say the dirtiest thing they can say rob just show that he is the dirtiest guy at the

[1:26:00]Table when it comes to i was just gonna say find a man who can do both you guys know what i'm talking About all right so my rating for this album is on this document and i'm scrolling up and down Looking for it all right it is a rolling internet chat room this was the first album that you could Talk about online i think that's a big reason why it's it's so divisive it's like this came out It was when everybody guys Guys Am i right everyone was chatting in the 2000s we loved asl okay age sex location that's okay You guys don't okay so well back to vr see you guys later we're just ass all right so this is The point of the podcast where i'm glad nobody makes it to the end but that is my rating so Thanks for listening to what i say guys and not just making fun of me the next album we have Coming up is guess what born to run by the boss bruce springston yes nice that'll be One album it's it's it's pretty much polar opposite from this album but i gotta say

[1:27:00]That's the end of the episode all right see you later everybody this is back big When you want to hear about the greatest album no no no it's that way but you're just too lazy Get up online if you want to hear from guys who chat and then they get off track I've got the perfect Podcast for you jack back did it better i think next week i'm gonna listen to this online It's gonna be vr to run vr to run I gotta sit up so i can see you guys on the zoom aaron's gotta go get his rusty Trombone out of the basement to play that you know rob is is you're definitely Is is the definition of rusty trombone on urban dictionary rob oh god okay and stop recording

[1:28:00]Okay so we could use about five minutes of that episode i think
