Kanye West: Graduation (2007)

[00:00]I am back in New York.

[00:01]My life is a living hell.

[00:03]This is the worst.

[00:04]Are you walking down the street talking to your therapist?

[00:07]That's a New York City dude.

[00:08]Listen, if seeing a guy jack off on the subway is my therapist,

[00:14]then yes, I have talked to a therapist today.

[00:16]I have thought about that, Rob,

[00:19]because I've been coming back and forth from the cabin, right?

[00:21]And I was thinking about you.

[00:22]You're a cabin guy now.

[00:22]If I had two and a half months or whatever it is

[00:26]that you get to spend up in northern Minnesota

[00:28]without working, without having any responsibilities at all,

[00:34]and then it was like a week, four days, three days,

[00:38]before I got to leave to get back to you.

[00:40]I might not be a teacher just because of that,

[00:43]even though you get that nice benefit.

[00:45]But that must just be not a very fun come down.

[00:49]I don't know.

[00:49]Is that the way to say it?

[00:50]And nobody feels bad for you?

[00:52]Not a soul?

[00:53]No, not one person.

[00:53]Because I just had a two and a half month vacation

[00:55]where I did jack shit, and I loved it.

[00:58]And you're going to have another month vacation

[01:00]in about six weeks,

[01:01]and then about eight weeks after that,

[01:03]you've got two and a half more weeks off.

[01:04]Yeah, I didn't even think about that.

[01:05]Yeah, eight weeks after that,

[01:07]you've got two more weeks off.

[01:08]I think about it like this.

[01:10]Episode 256 will be the next summer.

[01:12]So when we get to episode 256,

[01:14]I'm going to be so happy.

[01:15]You're already counting.

[01:16]I always thought Rob liked the re-entry.

[01:18]No.

[01:20]Russell.

[01:21]Wait, it fell out.

[01:23]He's more of a soaking guy.

[01:24]Yep, get on the bed.

[01:25]Push me around.

[01:26]I thought we weren't talking about it.

[01:27]I will say this, though, guys.

[01:28]It's total bullshit.

[01:29]I got home today.

[01:30]I'm sitting on the couch just doing nothing, right?

[01:33]Jenny goes, I got a lot planned for Saturday.

[01:36]And I was like, what?

[01:38]You know I got to go back to work this week.

[01:40]Why do we have anything planned?

[01:41]She's like, what day do you go back to work?

[01:44]Monday.

[01:44]I go back Monday.

[01:45]Oh, that is coming up.

[01:47]Yeah, well, it's a meeting I have at one.

[01:48]So it's not right away on Monday,

[01:50]but it's Monday-ish.

[01:52]I can't be doing stuff on Saturday.

[01:56]I got to be there somewhere.

[01:57]What?

[01:58]One o'clock on Monday.

[01:59]All right, we can just end this whole story

[02:01]because nobody's going to care.

[02:03]You're right.

[02:04]Nobody feels bad for you.

[02:05]But listen to me.

[02:06]Listen to this.

[02:06]She's taking me to somebody who's leaving.

[02:08]Somebody from the gym is leaving.

[02:11]So they're having a party.

[02:12]Oh, is the party at her place?

[02:13]No.

[02:14]The party is at her brother-in-law's place in Brooklyn,

[02:18]45 minutes away.

[02:20]So it's not even her place.

[02:22]I know what's going to happen.

[02:23]We're going to get to this party.

[02:24]We're not going to know anybody else but her.

[02:26]We're going to talk to her for like two minutes.

[02:28]And then we're going to be stuck with some weirdos.

[02:30]We'll be stuck talking to fucking weirdos down in Brooklyn

[02:32]because I'm not going to know anybody at this party

[02:34]because nobody else is stupid enough

[02:35]to spend their Saturday night going to this.

[02:37]You don't have to stay at this party for a day.

[02:39]This is in and out in 20 minutes.

[02:41]I'm going to take this one step further.

[02:43]Are you ever going to see this person ever again?

[02:45]No.

[02:46]Is it really going to matter if you're there or not?

[02:48]No, it's not going to matter at all.

[02:49]In fact, it's ruining my whole life, actually.

[02:52]Don't go.

[02:54]44-year-old man with a daytime job.

[02:57]Don't go.

[02:58]You got a job coming up at 1 p.m. on Monday.

[03:00]Deal with the consequences.

[03:01]Why would you go?

[03:02]She told me.

[03:03]She said, you don't have to go to this.

[03:04]And I was like, I want to spend time with you.

[03:07]What are we complaining about, Ted?

[03:07]What is the problem?

[03:08]If Matt was offered that out, he would take it lickety-split.

[03:12]There wouldn't even be a...

[03:13]That's like my parents.

[03:14]My parents are taking my kids to the fair on Saturday.

[03:17]Like, why would you go to this fucking state fair on a Saturday?

[03:20]No, yeah.

[03:20]You know?

[03:21]And Sarah goes, well, you know, you could go with them.

[03:24]And I said, or I could not go with them?

[03:27]You know?

[03:27]Like, yeah.

[03:28]What?

[03:28]I'm going to go wake her up right now and tell her.

[03:30]I'm not going with you on Saturday.

[03:31]Because then, Russell, guess what?

[03:33]Oh, you think I could just leave whenever?

[03:34]Uh-uh-uh.

[03:35]Because guess what?

[03:36]We have to haul ass across town and make a reservation for mini-golf with the same two people again.

[03:45]Oh, I veto mini-golf by every other week basis, I would say.

[03:50]I veto.

[03:51]Wait, so there's a party in Brooklyn and then mini-golf?

[03:54]You have two plans?

[03:54]In Manhattan.

[03:55]And it's different people.

[03:57]And then...

[03:58]She's like, and then they might have a 90s dance party that starts at 11.15 p.m.

[04:03]What the fuck are you talking about?

[04:05]No way.

[04:05]That'd be the cool thing to go to.

[04:06]Yeah.

[04:07]I'm going to be gone from fucking 5 to 11?

[04:09]No, you're not.

[04:11]She told you you don't have to go, Rob.

[04:13]You're skipping the first one.

[04:13]I'm so weak.

[04:14]You do not have to go.

[04:15]I'm so weak, guys.

[04:16]Some guys run their house.

[04:17]Some guys run around their house.

[04:19]Rob's a guy that goes to the party for the gym at the brother-in-law's house where he doesn't know any one guy.

[04:25]He's never going to see anybody.

[04:27]And she's...

[04:28]He's into polygamy, but Rob's not.

[04:30]So what's the point of knowing somebody's into polygamy if you're not going to be able to take advantage of it?

[04:34]I would like...

[04:35]Me and polygamy, it'd be like at the ice cream place.

[04:37]I'll just have a little sample.

[04:38]Do you make your wife go to things that she doesn't want to go to or not?

[04:43]I don't even ask her.

[04:44]That's how nice I am.

[04:45]I don't even tell her what I'm doing.

[04:46]A lot of times, I'm sneaking around, skulking around.

[04:48]She doesn't even know where I am, okay?

[04:49]And that's to be nice to her.

[04:51]She would be disgusted if she knew what I was up to.

[04:53]You always got to make sure you take a shower before you come home when you're doing that, though, right?

[04:58]You get all the glitter off.

[05:00]Yes, yes.

[05:02]That's what I do, Russell.

[05:02]I stop somewhere and get a shower.

[05:04]Ah, yes.

[05:04]The many places I could stop and get a shower somewhere.

[05:07]You have a gym membership.

[05:08]How long have you guys been married now, Rob?

[05:10]How long have you been married?

[05:10]20 years.

[05:11]Okay.

[05:12]Sounds like you had a nice 20-year run.

[05:14]That's true.

[05:15]It's now time to turn the page to the second half and just start setting new expectations.

[05:22]I am not going to go to a party on a Saturday in Brooklyn, or I'm never going to see this person ever again.

[05:26]I'm not going to do it.

[05:28]Sounds like it's okay.

[05:29]Not going to be able to do it.

[05:30]Yeah.

[05:31]You're right, man.

[05:32]I'm going to get a divorce.

[05:33]That's a great idea.

[05:34]In 2020, four friends decided to listen to every one of the greatest 500 albums as decided by Rolling Stone magazine.

[05:39]Guys, I have no idea what record we're doing tonight.

[05:42]I have not looked it up at all.

[05:44]Actually, man, if you just let me finish, you would find out yourself.

[05:48]I know.

[05:49]That's why I wanted to say that.

[05:50]This resulted in a text chain that celebrated the music, excoriated the order, and led us to making this podcast.

[05:53]We are far from experts, and we promise to do almost, or in some people's cases,

[05:58]absolutely none, research, all opinions, all your own, unless you disagree.

[06:03]Please sit back and enjoy Beck Did It Better.

[06:07]We are all the way up to album 204, and from 2007, Matt, you want to give a guess?

[06:13]2007?

[06:13]Graduation.

[06:15]Graduation by Kanye West.

[06:17]I bet if he pointed during this, a lot of Army guys would throw their hats up in the air.

[06:21]I mean, that's a Kanye West point.

[06:23]Hooray.

[06:27]I got an A.

[06:28]My stack people in pyramids class.

[06:29]All right, let's get out of that joke right away, because Aaron hates it when I talk about that.

[06:34]Okay, and let's go right to the radio.

[06:38]Let's turn on the radio.

[06:39]Welcome to KROB, K-R-O-B.

[06:42]You know there's lots of ways to work out.

[06:44]Oh, yeah.

[06:45]Work it, make it, do it, make sense.

[06:47]Older, better, faster, stronger.

[06:50]When Aaron goes hiking, now he is a rucker.

[06:54]He wears a heavy vest, cuz.

[06:57]He's a star.

[06:58]He's a skinny fucker.

[06:59]Now Aaron can be a fat guy.

[07:01]His heart won't even suffer.

[07:03]But he better not take it swimming.

[07:05]Or he'll sink right under.

[07:08]Oh!

[07:08]My knees hurt now.

[07:13]My knees hurt now.

[07:17]Aaron's going on a hike.

[07:18]But he knows his body was a little light.

[07:20]He wants a bigger challenge walking up some flights.

[07:23]So he opens up a gift from his wife.

[07:25]She purchased him a rucking vest.

[07:28]Oh, he weighs as much as people from the Midwest.

[07:29]He can put more weight so round his chest.

[07:32]It looks like he shot tear gas at a protest.

[07:34]Now he can pretend to be overweight.

[07:36]Without clearing any of his dinner plates.

[07:39]His BMI wills always be great.

[07:41]He can take it off when he fucks his mate.

[07:43]Oh!

[07:44]Oh, yeah.

[07:45]He didn't have to wear it on his wedding day.

[07:47]Or put it on in a pool on a sunny day.

[07:50]Aaron will never be a true fat A.

[07:52]Cuz his dick was too big anyway.

[07:54]What, what, what?

[07:55]Aaron goes hiking.

[07:57]Now he is a rucker.

[07:59]He wears a heavy vest cuz he's a skinny pucker.

[08:03]Now Aaron can't be a fat guy.

[08:06]His heart won't even suffer.

[08:08]I want something like this for a condom.

[08:10]A weighted vest that's a rubber.

[08:13]When you want to hear about the greatest albums of all time.

[08:16]When you think of fat guys, you don't ever think of big hogs, do you?

[08:19]A bunch of just-

[08:19]Fat guys always have small hogs.

[08:21]Get up online.

[08:23]It's all relative.

[08:23]I don't want to go home without you chatting.

[08:26]Well, not all my relatives, Russell.

[08:27]I mean, some of them.

[08:28]I've got the perfect podcast for you.

[08:33]Actually, that is true.

[08:34]There is a split in my family where half the uncles and cousins got huge hogs.

[08:42]And it's pretty well known that they just have huge hogs.

[08:46]What?

[08:47]I don't know the size of anyone's hog in my family.

[08:51]You'll never guess whose side of the split I'm on.

[08:54]You'll never guess.

[08:56]Okay, but I don't know what it is about fat guys not having-

[08:58]Fat guys always look like Roman statues, don't they?

[09:01]With just a little-

[09:02]My guess is anyone who will bring up this topic is on the small side of the argument, right?

[09:08]Like, the people on the big side of this argument don't even think about it.

[09:11]Can you imagine, Russell?

[09:13]It really is like a ruck vest.

[09:14]It's like, you just don't even have to think about it.

[09:17]It's so big.

[09:17]That is so mind-blowing to me.

[09:18]Gosh, we have not gotten far in this episode to have this conversation yet.

[09:21]Listen, we are Beck Did It Better.

[09:23]We talk about lots of things.

[09:24]And today, we're talking about-

[09:26]We're talking about Kanye West's 2007 album, Graduation.

[09:28]I've got three guys here with me that want to talk about it.

[09:31]I've got Russell in Minneapolis.

[09:33]Russell, how are you doing tonight?

[09:34]Guys, who's going to be my podcast Kate Moss tonight?

[09:37]Oh.

[09:38]Straight cash, homie.

[09:42]Okay, that was Kate Moss, wasn't it?

[09:44]I've got Matt in Minneapolis.

[09:46]I just got Kate Mossed.

[09:48]You got Kate Mossed.

[09:50]You got dragged by a car very slowly in front of the Metrodome.

[09:53]All right.

[09:54]I mean, that was one of his-

[09:56]One of his greatest drives, wouldn't you say, Aaron?

[09:57]Which one?

[09:58]Where he drove over that-

[10:00]Remember he drove over that traffic cop, like super slowly?

[10:03]Oh, gosh.

[10:04]Man, that's-

[10:05]It's so funny you bring him up.

[10:07]He's another-

[10:07]I mean, I think he's-

[10:08]In the end, I think he's turned out to be a generally good guy.

[10:11]But there's a lot of stuff he did right.

[10:13]I wanted to really defend him, and it was really asshole kind of stuff.

[10:16]And here we are tonight talking about Kanye West, so-

[10:19]Don't get Matt started on what he squirted that referee with the water bottle.

[10:22]We don't need to go there with Matt on the podcast.

[10:24]Let's not talk about the ultimate squirt.

[10:25]The ultimate squirt.

[10:28]Matt has a poster of that on his back wall with a big red circle with a line through it

[10:32]saying, no, nobody does that to me.

[10:34]Matt?

[10:34]I think when he mooned the crowd at Green Bay, that was like the one time that Neil

[10:40]from Lakeville agreed with the refs when they threw a flag at him.

[10:43]It was the one time.

[10:44]Have you ever seen anything so disgusting?

[10:46]Oh, my gosh.

[10:48]Disgusting.

[10:49]What a disgusting display.

[10:50]I've got Matt in Minneapolis.

[10:52]Matt, how are you doing?

[10:53]Good, Rob.

[10:54]Everybody wants the good life.

[10:55]That's the nicest quote I could find in the last 13 seconds.

[10:58]There we go.

[10:58]Everybody wants the good life.

[11:00]And I've got Aaron.

[11:01]Aaron out in California.

[11:01]Now, Aaron was telling me before the podcast started up that when two people kiss, it's

[11:05]just a long tube that goes from butthole to butthole.

[11:07]What?

[11:08]What?

[11:10]I don't even know what the hell that meant.

[11:12]What the fuck?

[11:12]What was that?

[11:14]Well, just picture it in your mind.

[11:16]Picture it in your mind.

[11:16]Just put it together.

[11:17]Two people kissing.

[11:18]It'll connect.

[11:19]It'll connect.

[11:20]It's like you're tying two hoses together.

[11:22]Oh, jeez.

[11:25]Just a-

[11:25]Okay, Russell.

[11:26]First of all, I'm sorry I said that.

[11:28]Second of all, just think of that when you're kissing somebody later tonight.

[11:30]It's just butthole to butthole.

[11:32]Aaron, do you have anything to say about that butthole to butthole stuff?

[11:34]I was going to tell you that my grandmama ain't the only girl calling me baby.

[11:38]So let's talk about Kanye West.

[11:42]Dynamite timing.

[11:43]I'm not going to lie.

[11:44]When I wrote down that quote tonight, I was like thinking of all stuff where it's just

[11:47]big holes and like what goes-

[11:49]I was like, well, if you're doing this, then it's butthole to mouth hole.

[11:53]Okay?

[11:53]Don't think about what that is, by the way.

[11:55]There's a lot of stuff.

[11:55]There's only a few options.

[11:56]All right.

[11:57]Human centipede.

[11:58]Human millipede.

[12:00]I got so many friends.

[12:01]Let's go.

[12:02]Oh.

[12:02]What do we do now?

[12:04]Oh, the voicemail.

[12:05]All right.

[12:05]Let's get into the voicemail.

[12:07]Already off the rails.

[12:09]No.

[12:09]What?

[12:10]Never that.

[12:12]What have we talked about so far that's been off the rails?

[12:14]My cousin's huge dongs, Randy Moss hitting that track for a person, and butthole to butthole,

[12:19]which from now on will just be known as B2B.

[12:21]All right.

[12:22]You know, B2B is-

[12:25]B2B is a fairly common acronym, business to business, right?

[12:28]Oh, yeah.

[12:29]So every time I see that now, it's going to be hard.

[12:32]And hopefully, the rest of the crowd out there, all the dozens of listeners we have, it'll

[12:37]affect them the same way.

[12:38]I can't wait until we get an Airbnb next winter in Vegas, right?

[12:43]It's going to be a totally different experience.

[12:46]I'm so sorry, guys.

[12:49]I've got to write down a joke for the end of the podcast.

[12:50]Already.

[12:53]Yep.

[12:54]Yep.

[12:55]And it's a banger.

[12:55]All right.

[12:57]So here we go.

[12:58]Maybe laugh just looking at it.

[13:01]I've got actually two text messages here, okay?

[13:05]Because they pertain to the same thing.

[13:07]And I know it's probably going to run right into somebody's rolling going.

[13:09]So let's play our voicemails.

[13:11]We got tons of voicemails, okay?

[13:13]We got tons.

[13:13]Our fans are going crazy, okay?

[13:15]It doesn't matter what the downloads say.

[13:16]Somehow, I am still listening to your podcast years later.

[13:20]But wanted to thank specifically Matt for his tips on how to get tickets to-

[13:24]I used his watch online for prices and then wait until a few hours before and then get tickets close to the field at U.S. Bank Stadium.

[13:35]Trick this weekend for Metallica and it worked like a charm.

[13:39]Still enjoy the podcast.

[13:41]Okay.

[13:42]They are mad.

[13:43]You are helping.

[13:44]We are putting the word out there.

[13:45]We are helping.

[13:45]Okay.

[13:46]You're getting the tickets you did.

[13:49]I saw cheap tickets for these concerts.

[13:51]It's the best way.

[13:52]It's the only way to do it.

[13:53]There's so many things that pop up.

[13:54]There's so many things that pop up on people's radar and then they don't have time to sell it.

[13:57]So they just want to get something back for their money.

[13:59]And especially if you can go solo or don't mind, you know, you don't have, you're not tied to like a, like a, an upstairs roommate or something.

[14:08]You're not forcing your partner to go somewhere.

[14:11]Right.

[14:12]Four nights in a row.

[14:13]Like Brooklyn, for example.

[14:14]You know what?

[14:15]Sometimes it's easier to go to like a concert in a small one or two people, right?

[14:20]Because I thought I was doing this concert weekend and I thought maybe I should invite

[14:24]other people to this.

[14:24]And I was like, it just makes it so stressful because then it's like, what if they can't

[14:28]come in?

[14:28]What if they're waiting or they can't get there on time?

[14:32]Or I don't want to manage other people's lives.

[14:34]Somebody wants to watch the opener.

[14:36]Somebody does.

[14:37]Let's go get more drinks.

[14:38]I don't want to drink anymore.

[14:40]Yeah.

[14:40]What are we going to do beforehand?

[14:41]What are we going to do afterwards?

[14:43]It's just, it's too much.

[14:44]We, my, my sister fell into that trap this weekend where she was with somebody who was

[14:49]not out from out of town and they're going to see a hosier.

[14:53]In St. Paul.

[14:54]Hosier.

[14:55]And, but their hotel was in Minneapolis.

[14:56]My sister's like, oh, they got dinner reservations.

[14:58]I can almost guarantee they got them in Minneapolis because they don't know what they're doing.

[15:02]And sure enough, now she's sleeping from Rosemont to Minneapolis.

[15:04]I mean, listen, it's so early to get into this, but it's, we have to, I mean, it's.

[15:09]Oh, look who loves the match fit now.

[15:12]All over the city.

[15:13]Such a great place.

[15:13]Such a great place.

[15:15]Everyone loves this bit.

[15:16]Nobody likes it.

[15:17]Hey Rob.

[15:17]This is the exact reason that next year's Las Vegas trip is capped at seven people.

[15:22]So if you're listening right now.

[15:23]Well, you better get in because there's not, there's not a lot of space left.

[15:27]We can't let the group get too big.

[15:28]And if you haven't received the official email or text yet, probably doesn't, probably means

[15:33]you're on the bubble, bro.

[15:35]You better, uh, kiss an ass.

[15:37]Hey Rob, Rosemont to Minneapolis.

[15:39]That's like the B and B of my life.

[15:41]Like the beginning and the end of butthole to butthole, right?

[15:44]The bookends.

[15:47]And the end of both tubes.

[15:51]Listen, you cannot think of both tubes.

[15:53]You cannot think of a birth as being the butthole of your life, Russell.

[15:55]Although I don't know, am I getting closer to the butthole of my life right now?

[16:00]I thought we were just talking about the loop.

[16:01]I know, but you're saying your life is like the B to B.

[16:04]I don't think your life started at B, Russell.

[16:06]So Russell, I don't know if you've started doing this yet, but I do.

[16:10]I absolutely do this.

[16:11]This is just for our concert goer from Southern Wisconsin.

[16:14]Like I'm glad it worked out.

[16:15]You know, did you do any sort of, uh, looking at the set lists or what time they go on or

[16:21]anything like that?

[16:21]I normally don't.

[16:22]But when you're doing.

[16:23]Even four straight days, I did it for each day.

[16:26]I knew kind of about what time bands were going to be starting.

[16:29]I knew what was going to be played.

[16:30]And part of this is you got to know, Hey, there's four or five songs coming up.

[16:34]This is what I can go get my beer.

[16:36]If I want, this is where I can go use the restroom.

[16:38]Mini donut time.

[16:40]This is where I can avoid the lines, but it's also like a concert.

[16:44]Now is probably what, like a seven hour event from beginning to end, right?

[16:49]Oh, maybe longer.

[16:50]This is longer than Rob's going to be out.

[16:53]Tomorrow night.

[16:54]They are.

[16:54]I'm like, are you fucking in the car?

[16:56]Are you fucking in the car in the parking lot or what?

[16:58]For seven hours?

[16:59]Good job.

[17:00]Two and a half.

[17:00]But I'm saying if you go from, if you go from opening band to the last band, you're probably

[17:05]there for six hours.

[17:07]Oh, maybe you are.

[17:10]Everyone I went to the doors, the band started at like five, five 30 or six.

[17:15]And you were there till 11.

[17:16]That's a B2B.

[17:17]I would say open.

[17:18]But for people that don't, people that don't go to concerts, they don't know that, Matt,

[17:21]right?

[17:22]Like you're a veteran.

[17:22]You go to a concert.

[17:23]You go to a ton of them.

[17:23]But if you go to like one concert every couple of years, you're just like, oh, the thing

[17:27]says six o'clock.

[17:28]I got to be there at six o'clock, right?

[17:30]It's true.

[17:30]It's true.

[17:31]They might be giants did that to me.

[17:32]I had to wait at a bar for an hour and a half before they played.

[17:34]I will listen to, do I know the opener?

[17:38]Do I know any of their songs?

[17:39]If I don't, I'm not going to go watch them, particularly if I have a seat, right?

[17:43]And I will get there 15 minutes before I know that the other band goes on so that I can

[17:49]grab one drink, get to my good seat, and I'm not pushing to the front if I got floor to

[17:53]seats at like the armory or something like that.

[17:55]I'm going to find a nice seat in the back or a place to stand because I'm with him getting

[17:59]too old.

[18:00]I can't.

[18:00]You just can't do it.

[18:01]You can't last that hour and a half of standing around waiting for the band that you want

[18:05]to see to start too much.

[18:07]It's too much.

[18:07]That was Matt's smart comment.

[18:09]Yeah.

[18:09]My ticket move also, one of the times this time it didn't happen, but I'm an aisle guy.

[18:16]I've got to have seats on the aisle.

[18:18]Got to be able to get in and out quickly.

[18:19]Got to be on the aisle.

[18:21]I refuse to sit in the middle of the row.

[18:23]Are you okay with the traffic in and out though?

[18:26]You have to better get used to it, right?

[18:29]Yeah.

[18:29]Is it worth it to you to be on the aisle?

[18:31]Yes.

[18:32]See, because I'm about a 51-49.

[18:35]I'd almost rather sit in the middle, but I don't have to deal with the ups and downs,

[18:39]if that makes sense, because that almost gets me going.

[18:42]Because then you're, let's just say you got a row of 20, right?

[18:45]And somebody comes in from seat one and you're seat 20 in the other end.

[18:50]The logic problem.

[18:50]The worst is when you've got somebody who's...

[18:53]Should be going to the other side, right?

[18:55]They're like seat four.

[18:56]And you can't leave the chicken alone with the fox.

[18:58]Yeah, exactly.

[18:59]And they make you get up and then 16 other people get up just to get to their seat.

[19:05]And they just didn't have the commoner's decency to just go to the other aisle.

[19:10]You know, people don't think about that stuff.

[19:11]No, I agree.

[19:12]But sometimes, Matt, some of us are going to concerts with people that have to go to

[19:16]the bathroom quite a bit themselves.

[19:17]And so sitting by the aisle is actually saving a lot of people a lot of time.

[19:21]That sounds familiar to Russell.

[19:23]One thing I'll say about the aisle, the one thing I didn't like, this happened on Metallica

[19:26]of night three of my four-day tour.

[19:28]Wow.

[19:28]But Metallica, we were on the aisle and there was a lot of people coming up like drunks,

[19:34]like they want to do high fives.

[19:35]They're like kind of falling into you if you're in the aisle.

[19:37]Yeah.

[19:38]I'm not down with like, maybe it's like a post-COVID thing.

[19:41]I don't need high fives and stuff and that type of props from strangers.

[19:45]I'm just out on it.

[19:46]No, thanks.

[19:46]Right.

[19:47]Pounds is about as close as I'm going to get.

[19:51]Oh, man, I got a funny story.

[19:53]I would not touch a lot of people at the Metallica concert.

[19:56]That would be my general rule, I would say.

[19:58]And then we got a second voicemail also about concerts.

[20:01]Now, I'm just going to say this.

[20:02]I didn't, this voice sounds kind of whiny.

[20:04]I swear to God, I didn't turn up the whininess.

[20:07]I didn't do anything with anything.

[20:08]What are your thoughts on wearing the band's t-shirt to the concert?

[20:12]All right.

[20:13]So what are your thoughts on wearing the band's t-shirt to the concert?

[20:17]Now, I thought of this because I know that Russell's date, I know for a fact, bought

[20:23]t-shirts for the bands.

[20:24]Then immediately when they're heading out, somebody on the text chain who doesn't listen

[20:28]to the show, texted out, don't wear that shirt to the concert, Russ.

[20:33]And I was like, oh, this is going to be crazy conflict.

[20:36]And then about 10 minutes after that text comes in, this voicemail shows up on the back

[20:41]line.

[20:41]And I was like, oh, he showed her the text.

[20:43]This is so great.

[20:44]So Russell, what was going on at the Russ household?

[20:46]The Upsters roommate was excited for Metallica.

[20:49]I warned her.

[20:50]I told you guys last time she was going to listen to ACDC.

[20:52]I warned her.

[20:53]I warned her not what it's not what I'm going to see.

[20:55]So she got a cool Metallica shirt, which I praised her like, hey, if you want to get

[20:58]into it, awesome.

[20:59]Got herself a Metallica shirt and was going to wear it.

[21:02]And I kind of joked and laughed.

[21:04]And I said, hey, we were texting about this.

[21:07]And one of our my friends on the text chain said, you're not supposed to wear the t-shirt

[21:11]to the concert.

[21:12]And I've heard that before.

[21:13]I don't personally subscribe to that.

[21:15]And so I said this to the Upstairs roommate.

[21:18]And, you know, she didn't really know that was kind of like the unwritten rule.

[21:23]But what do you, you guys tell me what you think.

[21:25]Do you wear a band's concert to a shirt?

[21:26]I personally, there's no such thing, especially if you bought one at the previous like show.

[21:31]Like, yeah, wear that shit.

[21:33]You know, wear it.

[21:34]Listen, why not?

[21:35]Listen, you can do it.

[21:36]I'm not going to make fun of you, but it has to run through your mind when you're doing

[21:40]it.

[21:40]Oh, people there might make fun of me for doing this.

[21:43]Right.

[21:44]I mean, it is a rule.

[21:44]It's like, I don't know.

[21:46]People say it.

[21:47]I don't agree.

[21:47]Wear the t-shirt.

[21:48]I think there's a, I think there's a hierarchy of cool.

[21:51]I think the.

[21:53]The, you know, neutral shirt is like neutral.

[21:56]Cool.

[21:57]I think brand new, brand new shirt of the band you're seeing is like pretty cool.

[22:03]Very old shirt of the band you were seeing.

[22:06]Very cool.

[22:07]And an actual one that you.

[22:09]That you saw the show somewhere in there is like wearing a shirt from, you know, in sync

[22:14]to a Metallica show, like something just off the wall.

[22:16]And then, you know, maybe further up is like.

[22:20]Off the wall.

[22:21]That's a Michael Jackson.

[22:22]You wear a Michael Jackson.

[22:23]Jackson shirt.

[22:23]Yeah.

[22:24]Yeah.

[22:24]Or maybe somewhere up there is like.

[22:26]I haven't had a chance to bring up.

[22:27]You know, wear one of the band's influences shirt.

[22:29]Right.

[22:30]Like, or, or, you know, the, one of the band members, old band shirts and like.

[22:34]That's cool.

[22:35]That would be cool.

[22:35]I used to care so much, so much what I was wearing to concerts.

[22:39]Cause I, you know, like, again, I don't look good in t-shirts.

[22:42]I don't think, but I'd want to wear a t-shirt and like jeans, stuff like that.

[22:44]I used to care so much what I was wearing.

[22:46]We used to wear like cowboy hats to country concerts and like college and high school

[22:50]and stuff.

[22:50]When you're part of the American honky-tonk bar association.

[22:52]Yeah.

[22:53]Yeah.

[22:53]We're not flipping cowboys.

[22:54]Like, why did we have cowboy hats?

[22:55]Kind of a thing.

[22:56]Right.

[22:56]I don't care at all anymore.

[22:59]I wear my golf polo shirt and I wear my nice new Nike shoes.

[23:04]Cause again, who the fuck cares what you're wearing?

[23:07]What if you get beer spilled on them?

[23:10]Uh, I need, if you're standing and stuff like that, we need comfort.

[23:14]I agree with that.

[23:15]So I'm wearing my most comfortable shoes that I've got.

[23:19]You know what?

[23:20]I actually was going to, you guys have mentioned the old shirt.

[23:22]I have an old Metallica shirt.

[23:23]When they played at us bank where it's got like the old Viking, it's got like the Viking

[23:27]skull on it.

[23:28]Awesome.

[23:29]It was a great shirt, but I put it on and this is where we've talked about these cheap

[23:32]like Gildan type shirts before, right?

[23:34]It's just like too short.

[23:36]The big guy shirt with the short bottom will forever be the ultimate plague of guys who

[23:42]are actually big guys, Aaron, not just fake Valor weighted vest guys.

[23:46]When you lift up, why would you make a big shirt?

[23:49]That's also short.

[23:50]What was that for?

[23:51]I don't know.

[23:52]What was that for?

[23:52]So I didn't wear it, but, but I also, I also, I'm totally down.

[23:56]And you know what?

[23:57]Especially Metallica, that crowd, I bet 60% of the people there at least are wearing Metallica

[24:02]shirts.

[24:03]It's, it's, it's like a, yeah, very loyal following, right?

[24:07]Very loyal following.

[24:08]They've been a band forever.

[24:09]They rock.

[24:10]They play a ton of shows.

[24:12]Why not wear a Metallica shirt?

[24:13]You know what a shirt I would wear?

[24:14]A Megadeth shirt.

[24:16]That'd be fine, right?

[24:17]Nobody would mind if I wore Megadeth.

[24:19]Let's do a Megadeth shirt.

[24:21]Is that a joke or is that an irony?

[24:22]Are you doing jokes or?

[24:26]I don't know.

[24:26]You got me thinking, what is a joke?

[24:28]You know what I mean?

[24:29]Like, I don't know.

[24:30]Dave Mustaine, would he want to see a Megadeth shirt at a Metallica concert?

[24:33]Is that how you pronounce his name?

[24:35]Come on, man.

[24:37]Let's just get going.

[24:38]Roll it.

[24:38]Go on, Aaron.

[24:39]How's it going with you?

[24:40]Aaron.

[24:40]Dave Mustaine.

[24:41]I have so many things to tell you guys.

[24:44]There's a lot rattling around in my head.

[24:45]That's good because I got nothing.

[24:47]So take up my space.

[24:48]Adventures in Autocorrect.

[24:49]One of the ladies from the PTI, like full disclosure.

[24:53]I did some multitasking early in the show.

[24:55]One of the ladies from the PTA texted to ask if I would be on the donations committee for the benefit.

[25:01]And you said no, right?

[25:02]I said no.

[25:03]I said let me sleep on it.

[25:04]I said let me sleep on it.

[25:06]But somehow my phone changed it to let me skeet on it.

[25:12]I don't know.

[25:12]I've never typed the word skeet on my phone ever.

[25:14]Oh my gosh.

[25:16]I didn't send it.

[25:17]I did not send it.

[25:18]Did she send back skeet, skeet, skeet?

[25:21]I don't know.

[25:22]What the hell?

[25:22]What the hell happened?

[25:23]I was like about to send this text and it's like, it says let me skeet on it.

[25:26]You can't say that.

[25:27]I don't know how this happened.

[25:28]Oh, it's terrifying.

[25:29]Aaron.

[25:32]Here we go.

[25:33]Here we go.

[25:33]Did you guys hear last night?

[25:34]He actually did the joke.

[25:35]He said VP Harris, Governor Walz.

[25:38]He really did.

[25:39]He went all the way.

[25:41]So no, I did not.

[25:43]I did not send, but that was a close call.

[25:45]So are you going to skeet on it or what, Aaron?

[25:47]Is that what you're into?

[25:48]Wait, wait, wait.

[25:52]I think that's the best rap line ever.

[25:56]I think, can I play with your panty line?

[25:59]I think it's the best rap line ever.

[26:01]I'm going to say, can I play with your panty line is really close because I get it.

[26:04]Sometimes playing with that panty line, perfect.

[26:07]Not too complicated.

[26:08]Nice and simple.

[26:09]Good time.

[26:10]Okay.

[26:11]I'm saying, it's such a great line.

[26:12]I just noticed my dish, or my washing machine is extraordinarily dirty.

[26:17]Clean your houses, everyone.

[26:18]A couple of updates.

[26:20]Buy stuff on Amazon.

[26:21]Yeah, you gotta get it.

[26:22]Roll back it, put it in there.

[26:23]There's a clean function on your washing machine.

[26:26]Are you serious?

[26:26]Yeah.

[26:28]Particularly if you've got a side loading.

[26:30]Especially if you've got a side load.

[26:31]Those things are nasty.

[26:32]I've got a front loader, but it's still gross.

[26:34]You do?

[26:34]Yeah.

[26:35]Not a top load?

[26:36]You've got a front loader?

[26:37]Yeah.

[26:37]Those are even worse.

[26:39]It's pretty bad.

[26:39]Open that up and look at the little bottom thing.

[26:42]Look at the little rubber at the bottom.

[26:43]Oh, that I know.

[26:43]I've done that.

[26:44]I've cleaned that.

[26:44]Yeah.

[26:45]Aaron, I can see your washer behind you.

[26:46]Can you just, there's something way back in there.

[26:48]Can you just reach way back into that front loading washer?

[26:51]I think it'd be really good.

[26:52]Listen.

[26:54]Okay, Aaron, keep going.

[26:55]What else were you saying, Aaron?

[26:56]Oh, I got, well, I have two updates from basketball.

[27:00]I know that I texted you guys about this, but I just want to say it.

[27:03]I made a game-winning shot.

[27:05]I made a game-winning shot.

[27:07]Wow.

[27:07]I made a game-winning shot.

[27:08]I played four games that day.

[27:09]I only made two shots.

[27:10]They're both in the same game.

[27:11]You got a regular James Hollywood Robin.

[27:13]He's a clean winner.

[27:14]I came straight home, told my family about it.

[27:17]You got a little Jimmy Chisholm.

[27:17]I texted you guys about it.

[27:19]It was, like, really good.

[27:21]Really made my day for, like, a couple of weeks.

[27:23]And I was feeling pretty good about basketball.

[27:25]Aaron, describe the shot to us right now.

[27:27]Come on.

[27:27]This is your chance.

[27:28]It's going to be on digital.

[27:29]Left side, right side.

[27:30]Airwaves forever.

[27:31]Kind of like a mid, I went from my right to left, and I knew the guy was bigger than me,

[27:36]so I had to get it up high, so it was kind of like a hook.

[27:38]Yes, Aaron.

[27:39]And I banked it in from dead on.

[27:41]Like, it was just like.

[27:42]You shot a hook, shot, bank to win the game?

[27:44]It was like all my shots have been short.

[27:46]I know I got to get this up on the rim, and somehow, I don't know.

[27:49]I don't know how it went.

[27:50]And then he started yelling.

[27:51]He was yelling, Carl Malone, Carl Malone.

[27:52]Can I ask, Aaron, were you guys up 10-0 when you shot the shot, or was it like 10 to 10?

[27:58]Games were to eight, so I think it was eight.

[28:00]I think it was like seven to five.

[28:02]That is like old, bad basketball.

[28:04]You don't even play to 11 anymore?

[28:05]No, you play to eight.

[28:07]Yeah, you play to eight.

[28:08]But that's what happened.

[28:09]So that's my next story, is that I've been feeling pretty good about it.

[28:11]So this last week, I went back.

[28:13]I was all fired up.

[28:13]All of a sudden.

[28:14]I can just tell you from experience, you're going to get shit on big time.

[28:18]Did a guy dunk on you, or what?

[28:20]What happened?

[28:21]Well, close.

[28:22]I got yelled at a couple of times for shooting when I should have been passing.

[28:25]Oh, yes.

[28:25]The guys who were better than me.

[28:27]But the big thing is, all of a sudden, the crew got a lot younger and better at basketball.

[28:34]And as a crowd, we're like, I know when I should offer a handshake, or we talked about

[28:40]fist bumps earlier, or I know that I can't go straight in for the dap and the hug.

[28:45]I'm not going to do that.

[28:46]So I got there.

[28:47]It was Sunday morning.

[28:47]I was walking around saying good morning to everybody, introducing myself.

[28:50]To the people that I don't know.

[28:52]And then one of the guys who has been there a few times, younger guy, easily the best

[28:57]player on the court, said hello to me, looked up and offered a fist bump, and looked up

[29:03]and saw it was me, and held out his hand for a handshake.

[29:05]I'm not sure.

[29:07]That's your Obama moment, right?

[29:09]Yeah, that was it.

[29:11]And I'm fine.

[29:13]I would have gone for the handshake, but I was like, man, I really, I did not make it.

[29:17]I regret to inform you.

[29:19]Wow.

[29:19]You are old as fuck.

[29:20]You are the guy who they shake their hands.

[29:24]They don't want to hurt you.

[29:25]They think you don't know.

[29:26]Surprised he didn't like stand, give you like the little stand up to like, oh, hello, sir.

[29:30]Sir, how you doing, sir?

[29:31]They don't think you know what a dap is.

[29:33]They think you're going to get screwed up by it and fall down, and you're going to go home

[29:37]and tell your nursing assistant, somebody tried to punch me today at the park.

[29:41]They tried to engage in fisticuffs with me.

[29:44]I mean, they think you're old ass.

[29:47]Oh, my God.

[29:48]Yeah, it was a real moment for me.

[29:50]Like, oh, boy.

[29:50]Oh, boy.

[29:50]This is where I'm at.

[29:51]Your game winner wasn't a skyhook, was it?

[29:53]Because now we're starting to make sense of this whole deal.

[29:55]There's no sky in my hook, though.

[29:57]I mean, it's like, sure, it was a hook shot, but there's no sky in the way I hook.

[30:01]You probably have to do something with when Aaron comes to the basketball games before

[30:04]they're lacing up and getting ready.

[30:05]He goes, guys, I swear to you, when I rode airplanes in the beginning, we didn't have

[30:09]to take off our shoes.

[30:10]You know what I mean?

[30:12]Feel the smoke?

[30:13]You could just do whatever.

[30:14]They're like, God damn, this guy's old.

[30:16]Guys, when I come off the picket fence, you got to feed me that.

[30:20]Oh, my first computer monitor was thicker than the desk I'm at right now.

[30:25]Like, it was deeper, and you could only get one color, beige.

[30:29]You could get beige computer monitor.

[30:30]That was it.

[30:31]And guess what?

[30:31]It was big as hell.

[30:32]Triangle on it.

[30:33]Fucking right.

[30:34]That thing was heavy as shit.

[30:35]Was it cheap?

[30:36]Uh-uh.

[30:36]It was super expensive.

[30:37]They're like, who is this old-ass guy?

[30:40]He's talking about his Pentium 90?

[30:41]You guys remember when the shuttle exploded?

[30:43]Oh, my God.

[30:44]Oh, my God.

[30:46]Aaron is old as hell.

[30:47]That's me at the course.

[30:48]I don't know.

[30:49]That's a lot about me.

[30:50]I want to hear.

[30:50]I want to hear about how it's really going with Russell,

[30:51]because his life's way more exciting.

[30:53]I just have to say, Aaron did text a picture of his outfit

[30:55]that he plays basketball in.

[30:56]Oh, yeah.

[30:57]Great.

[30:57]I loved it.

[30:58]I got a wristband.

[30:59]Shorts were a little long.

[31:02]Do you have the longest shorts on the court?

[31:04]Pretty close, yeah.

[31:05]I would prefer to wear some shorter ones,

[31:07]but those are the only basketball shorts I have,

[31:09]so I got to rip Iowa State.

[31:10]But you've got shorts, right?

[31:13]Yeah, I got shorts.

[31:14]I'm wearing them right now.

[31:15]There was a guy.

[31:16]I was wearing my cycling shorts,

[31:17]and there was a guy there on the old team.

[31:20]There was a guy there wearing a Hawkeye shirt.

[31:21]He was far more talented than I, but a very nice guy.

[31:25]He was a guy where he'd pass it to me and say,

[31:27]shoot it, and then I'd miss, and he'd say,

[31:28]okay, that's a good spot.

[31:29]But we chopped it up a little bit,

[31:32]and I said, are you from Iowa?

[31:33]He said, yeah.

[31:34]Okay, where are you from?

[31:35]He's from Iowa City.

[31:36]I'm from Ankeny.

[31:36]Oh, cool.

[31:37]I said, we beat Iowa City high for the state title in 97.

[31:41]He said, yeah, I graduated in 2010.

[31:42]So that was it.

[31:43]That's all I'm at.

[31:50]He's just busting me up on this here.

[31:53]He was five years old, and I was four years old.

[31:56]He's like, was that after Tim Dwight?

[31:58]Like, you have no idea.

[31:59]Like, yeah, it was four years after Tim Dwight,

[32:01]three years after Tim Dwight.

[32:02]That'd be like you playing with someone,

[32:05]and they said they graduated in 67.

[32:07]Yeah.

[32:08]Damn.

[32:09]I don't even think,

[32:11]I don't even know if we've been to the moon by then.

[32:13]You guys want to hear my Ross Perot impression?

[32:15]Let me finish.

[32:15]Can I finish?

[32:16]Can I finish?

[32:16]They're like, who the fuck is this guy?

[32:18]He's old.

[32:20]Damn, that guy's old.

[32:21]All right, I'm trying to get out of here.

[32:23]Legitimately 85.

[32:24]Legitimately 85.

[32:25]85.

[32:26]Somebody said, hey, yeah, we won the district championship in 85,

[32:30]and you're like, yeah, I graduated in 98.

[32:32]Yeah, you beat Greg Allen's team, I remember.

[32:34]He wouldn't beat him in the semis.

[32:36]If a guy came up to me to say that in real life,

[32:38]the first thing I'd do is get out a text with my friends

[32:40]and be like, this old fuck,

[32:41]who doesn't know what the fuck he's talking about,

[32:43]thinks that he and I went to school together,

[32:45]is old ass.

[32:46]Actually, I think Greg Allen was 89.

[32:48]I got that all wrong.

[32:49]Really, just trying to get out of here.

[32:51]Just trying to pass it to Russell

[32:53]and see what's going on in his life.

[32:55]Rolling, going.

[32:56]Speaking of old,

[32:57]I was going to tell you guys about some of the bands that I saw.

[33:00]I did the four concerts in four days,

[33:03]the Russ Summer Concert Tour.

[33:04]So I'll just run down the bands quick,

[33:07]and then I'm going to share a few experiences from the nights

[33:09]and get your thoughts on it, if that works for you guys.

[33:11]Please, Russell.

[33:13]Night one, Pantera opening for Metallica.

[33:16]Oh my God, I forgot about Pantera.

[33:18]Night two.

[33:19]Did I hear, by the way,

[33:20]that the night before that,

[33:21]Pantera was at First App,

[33:23]and Metallica came out and played with them?

[33:25]Two of them.

[33:26]That's fun.

[33:26]Two of them.

[33:27]That kicks ass.

[33:28]Go ahead, Russ.

[33:29]Night two is Smashing Pumpkins opening for Green Day.

[33:32]I would say, hey, is this concert going to start tonight?

[33:35]Tonight.

[33:37]Night three is Metallica night two,

[33:41]different set lists,

[33:42]and opening for them is a band called Five Finger Death Punch.

[33:45]I don't know if you guys know their music at all.

[33:47]I've heard of them.

[33:48]Apparently, they're, apparently,

[33:49]they're drummers from Minnesota.

[33:51]I heard that on the, something.

[33:53]And then, if you really want to get old,

[33:55]the last one takes the cake.

[33:56]Night four,

[33:57]I'm naming all three bands, Matt,

[34:00]and I got there for the beginning one.

[34:02]But these ones, like,

[34:03]you should name all three.

[34:04]Steve Miller band,

[34:05]opening for Journey,

[34:07]opening for Def Leppard.

[34:08]Wow.

[34:09]So, these are the bands I saw over the last four days,

[34:12]four concerts in four days.

[34:14]Okay.

[34:14]Okay, let's play a little game right now, Russell.

[34:16]Sorry, you're out.

[34:17]Matt, between you, me, and Aaron,

[34:18]we've got Steve Miller,

[34:19]we've got Steve Miller band,

[34:20]we've got Journey,

[34:21]we've got Def Leppard.

[34:22]Who do you think Russ thought sounded the best?

[34:24]Who was the most fun to be there?

[34:26]Who sounded the best?

[34:27]Which of those band?

[34:28]I mean, Def Leppard by far.

[34:30]I think Steve Miller band,

[34:32]I don't know how they would be live

[34:34]in, like, a big stadium, you know?

[34:35]Like, good songs,

[34:37]but they can't be that dynamic, can they?

[34:38]So, go ahead.

[34:39]I mean, I'll,

[34:40]if it's a draft, I'll take Journey

[34:42]because I feel like they get the anthems.

[34:44]Well, no, it's not a draft.

[34:45]We can pick whoever

[34:46]because I'm going to pick Journey for sure.

[34:48]I'm still taking Journey.

[34:49]They get the anthems?

[34:49]They get the radio hits.

[34:50]Who was the number one band?

[34:52]And don't say Steve Miller.

[34:53]Rob and Aaron are correct.

[34:55]I would take Journey out of the three,

[34:57]but I'll say this.

[34:58]I would have taken Steve Miller number two.

[35:00]I thought, I was,

[35:02]you know what I would say?

[35:05]I might not know enough Def Leppard songs,

[35:07]but most of the people were sitting down

[35:09]the whole time for Def Leppard.

[35:10]There were some people standing up for Journey.

[35:13]Def Leppard, I don't know.

[35:15]It was not,

[35:16]it was probably out of, like,

[35:19]nine bands we've listed

[35:20]or the nine shows.

[35:21]The Def Leppard,

[35:22]I would have ranked number nine

[35:24]out of the ones I saw over the last year.

[35:26]Even when they're busting out

[35:27]Pour Some Sugar On Me.

[35:28]That doesn't get like...

[35:29]But that Pour Some Sugar On Me

[35:30]comes out dead last, Rob.

[35:31]Yeah, it's true.

[35:32]It's the last song I heard

[35:33]out of probably 120 songs

[35:36]over a four-day period.

[35:37]I don't know any of their...

[35:38]I know Let's Get Rocked

[35:40]and Pour Some Sugar.

[35:41]What are their other songs?

[35:42]Let's Get Rocked?

[35:42]I forgot about that.

[35:43]I don't know.

[35:44]What else would I be excited to hear?

[35:45]There's a lot.

[35:46]They had their greatest hits

[35:47]that came out probably

[35:48]when we were in high school.

[35:49]And there's not...

[35:50]You won't know as many

[35:51]as you thought you would.

[35:52]I thought I would know

[35:53]more than I did.

[35:54]I'll just put it that way.

[35:54]But can I share

[35:55]some of my other experiences

[35:57]beyond what bands were good

[35:58]and everything?

[35:58]All the bands were great.

[36:00]They were all fun to see.

[36:01]First one,

[36:02]my experience with Pantera.

[36:03]First, they come out,

[36:04]they're loud as hell.

[36:05]I feel like I'm going to have

[36:06]like a medical breakdown.

[36:08]Like, they are playing so loud,

[36:10]like you can feel

[36:10]your chest cavity like pounding.

[36:13]You get what I'm saying?

[36:14]Have you guys ever seen

[36:15]like a super loud band like that?

[36:17]Jeez.

[36:17]It was that?

[36:19]The Louds have been

[36:19]I ever heard was TV on the radio,

[36:20]but I was standing by

[36:21]the speaker at first half.

[36:22]And the other...

[36:25]I had a buddy that loved these guys

[36:26]and I never got into them

[36:27]in high school.

[36:28]I mean, I like this song, obviously,

[36:29]but he just loved them.

[36:30]I like this one.

[36:30]They were a good show.

[36:33]And part of what made

[36:34]the U.S. Bank show good

[36:35]is they had a huge round stage.

[36:37]So like there are people

[36:38]in the middle called

[36:38]the Snake Pit.

[36:39]But the...

[36:40]No matter where you're sitting,

[36:42]people are moved,

[36:43]the artists are moving around,

[36:44]they're playing to you.

[36:45]There's a lot of action, right?

[36:47]What are they doing

[36:48]with the drummers, Russell?

[36:49]Well, the drummers,

[36:51]there were two sets of drums

[36:52]for Pantera

[36:53]on opposite sides of the stage,

[36:55]but Metallica,

[36:55]they moved the drum

[36:57]every three songs.

[36:58]So they would drop it down below,

[36:59]move it over,

[37:00]and pull it back up.

[37:02]So Lars played in like

[37:04]five different spots.

[37:05]So he was always...

[37:06]At some point,

[37:07]he was playing right to you.

[37:08]Yeah, I saw that

[37:10]because I didn't see the concert,

[37:11]but I did download it

[37:12]later on Napster.

[37:13]So I'm going to watch that.

[37:14]But I was going to ask you one thing.

[37:16]The Pantera lead singer

[37:17]played the whole show,

[37:19]no shoes on Aaron.

[37:20]Aaron, your thoughts.

[37:21]No shoes.

[37:22]The lead singer didn't know...

[37:25]I mean, they have to make sure

[37:26]that floor is clean, right?

[37:27]They got to make sure

[37:28]no one broke anything on there.

[37:29]That thing's got to be very...

[37:31]You don't want to cut your foot.

[37:32]I would be too distracted.

[37:34]I'd be looking at his feet

[37:35]the whole time.

[37:36]I'd be worried.

[37:37]That's what I figured.

[37:38]He's probably more comfortable

[37:39]that way.

[37:40]It's great.

[37:40]Yeah, I think he wants to be

[37:42]grounded when he's screaming.

[37:44]New law.

[37:45]Illegal to not wear shoes

[37:47]when you're singing, okay?

[37:49]I've also got...

[37:50]And I'm going to add that.

[37:50]I've been writing this pamphlet.

[37:51]Project 20...

[37:53]God, what is it called?

[37:54]I forgot.

[37:54]But I'm going to add that

[37:56]to the end of it.

[37:56]I can't find it.

[37:58]I left it somewhere.

[37:59]Where did I leave it?

[38:00]In a donut shop.

[38:01]Just a couple of...

[38:02]Whatever makes sense.

[38:03]It does sound like me.

[38:04]So did he stage dive

[38:06]with the bare feet?

[38:06]Ugh.

[38:07]Ugh.

[38:08]I didn't see him stage dive,

[38:10]but I could have missed it,

[38:12]but I didn't see him stage dive

[38:13]with the bare feet.

[38:14]But he was down on the ground

[38:16]once in a while, Aaron.

[38:16]Oof.

[38:17]I don't know, man.

[38:18]Yeah, you got to make

[38:19]sure that floor was real clean.

[38:20]I don't like that.

[38:21]Put some Crocs on there.

[38:22]They're easy to take on and off.

[38:23]You don't have to bend over.

[38:23]Trust me.

[38:24]After Pantera that night,

[38:26]one of the things

[38:27]I wish concerts would do...

[38:29]I wish there was a clock.

[38:30]Like, when you go

[38:31]to a basketball game,

[38:32]there's a countdown clock.

[38:34]You know when the game's

[38:35]going to start.

[38:35]You know you've got 20 minutes

[38:36]to go get a beer,

[38:37]to meet your friend

[38:38]on the other side of the stadium.

[38:39]At concerts,

[38:41]there's nothing like that.

[38:42]Like, why can't there be a clock?

[38:44]Because I don't know if...

[38:45]I don't know if Metallica's

[38:46]coming up in 20 minutes

[38:47]or if they're coming up

[38:48]in 90 minutes

[38:49]Two hours, right?

[38:50]Yeah.

[38:50]Why not tell me?

[38:51]Why don't they have a clock, Matt?

[38:52]They need to let

[38:53]that stadium breathe.

[38:55]The anticipation

[38:56]needs to be palpable.

[38:57]They're trying to...

[38:58]You're waiting for them.

[38:59]You're sitting there.

[39:00]You're waiting.

[39:01]Yeah.

[39:01]When are they going to come?

[39:02]And all of a sudden,

[39:03]boom, there they are.

[39:04]And there's a loud scream.

[39:05]Yes.

[39:06]Here we come.

[39:07]Yes.

[39:08]Russell, I'm looking

[39:08]at the set list

[39:09]for your favorite band,

[39:10]Def Leppard.

[39:11]And I think I could sing

[39:12]12 of the 18 songs

[39:14]that they played.

[39:15]I think I knew

[39:17]I would say 4 to 5.

[39:19]Okay.

[39:20]Oh, my God.

[39:21]Matt, give me...

[39:21]Sing me one song right now.

[39:23]I'll try to guess the title

[39:25]by you singing it.

[39:26]Love Bites.

[39:28]Love Bleeds.

[39:29]You're not singing it, Matt.

[39:31]I don't hear a little.

[39:32]Can you name that one?

[39:34]Love Hurts.

[39:36]Yep.

[39:38]Shout out to Bobby Hill.

[39:40]Rock of Ages.

[39:42]Rock of Ages.

[39:44]Am I a Philadelphia Eagles

[39:46]football fan?

[39:46]I love Hurts.

[39:49]I got a photograph

[39:51]picture of

[39:53]Rockabita.

[39:54]I bet Rob doesn't know

[39:57]these songs.

[39:57]I don't know any of these songs.

[39:58]You don't know Rock of Ages?

[40:00]You don't know Photograph?

[40:01]Put on Photograph quick.

[40:03]You gotta know.

[40:03]You guys have to know

[40:04]Photograph by Def Leppard.

[40:06]Pour some sugar on me,

[40:08]obviously.

[40:09]Hysteria.

[40:09]Do you know Hysteria?

[40:10]Hysteria.

[40:12]I think...

[40:13]I think...

[40:14]I have heard it.

[40:19]You're right.

[40:20]That's great.

[40:21]Wow.

[40:24]That was a lot funnier

[40:25]than it should have been.

[40:26]Okay.

[40:27]Photograph.

[40:28]Def Leppard?

[40:29]Yep.

[40:30]Okay.

[40:31]Oh, my God.

[40:31]Thank God I didn't try

[40:32]to spell Leppard.

[40:33]I never would have guessed

[40:34]how they spell Leppard

[40:35]in Def Leppard.

[40:35]L-E-P-P-A-R-D.

[40:37]That's crazy.

[40:38]It's a crazy way

[40:39]to spell Leppard.

[40:39]British band also.

[40:43]I didn't realize

[40:44]they're a British band.

[40:44]They're British?

[40:45]I don't know that.

[40:45]You guys don't know

[40:47]this song, but right now...

[40:48]Yeah, yeah.

[40:49]I know the song.

[40:49]Yes.

[40:49]I think.

[40:50]Two Steps Behind.

[40:52]It's a ballad.

[40:53]You don't know...

[40:54]Do you know that one?

[40:54]One thing I got to say

[40:56]about Def Leppard,

[40:57]they nailed it

[40:58]with album titles.

[40:59]Pyromania.

[41:00]Great album title.

[41:02]I always love that title.

[41:04]Armageddon It?

[41:07]No.

[41:08]We're not...

[41:08]That's not a real song.

[41:09]You just made up that song.

[41:11]Armageddon It?

[41:11]Yeah.

[41:12]Oh, my God.

[41:13]You got to know that one.

[41:15]No.

[41:15]Okay, wait.

[41:16]Armageddon It.

[41:17]Def.

[41:19]Leppard.

[41:19]L-A-P-P-A-R-D.

[41:20]If it wasn't on

[41:22]the Armageddon soundtrack,

[41:23]it's a real mess.

[41:24]Oh, God damn.

[41:25]I should have done that.

[41:26]It's a great joke, Aaron.

[41:28]Here, back it up.

[41:29]Reverse it.

[41:30]Roar, roar, roar, roar, roar, roar, roar, roar, roar, roar.

[41:32]No, it's too late.

[41:33]Steven Tyler.

[41:33]Here we go.

[41:34]Sounds like Revenge of the Nerds.

[41:39]I do remember this video

[41:40]with the...

[41:41]I remember this video

[41:42]with the...

[41:43]Putting the arena together thing.

[41:48]What is this?

[41:49]Rob doesn't know.

[41:50]No, never heard this.

[41:51]Don't know this.

[41:52]Never heard this?

[41:52]Hold on.

[41:53]Get to the...

[41:53]Go a little farther forward.

[41:54]You can't stop it.

[41:57]Don't rock it.

[41:59]You know you got it.

[42:00]Here it comes.

[42:01]Hey, are you getting it?

[42:04]You really don't know this one?

[42:05]No.

[42:06]How am I getting it?

[42:08]Night two.

[42:09]We skipped that to night four.

[42:11]Night two,

[42:11]Smashing Pumpkins, Green Day.

[42:12]We get there.

[42:13]Smashing Pumpkins

[42:15]is a very stationary band, Matt.

[42:17]I think part of going to...

[42:18]Concerts is when

[42:19]you want to see like

[42:20]the lead singer moving around

[42:21]like walking out

[42:23]further on the stage.

[42:23]They're kind of more chill, right?

[42:25]Yeah, and he's kind of a weird dude.

[42:28]You know, he basically

[42:30]does everything in the band.

[42:31]You know, they have a band,

[42:32]obviously, but yeah,

[42:34]he just sits by the mic

[42:35]and kind of dances around

[42:36]it a little bit,

[42:37]but by playing his guitar,

[42:38]but yeah, very stationary.

[42:39]I think my favorite one is

[42:41]whatever song is

[42:43]Despite All Your Rage,

[42:44]I'm Still Just a Rat in a Cage,

[42:46]but they killed...

[42:47]That's this one right here.

[42:47]They played all the famous ones.

[42:48]They killed it.

[42:49]That would be a fun concert, I bet.

[42:51]This is it right here.

[42:52]What did you say

[42:54]they ended with, Russell?

[42:55]You told me what they ended with.

[42:56]I think it was...

[42:56]I think it's Sheriff Rock.

[42:58]I think it was your song, Matt.

[42:59]Oh, wow.

[43:00]That's a good one.

[43:00]We're sitting there

[43:02]and we're sitting in seats

[43:03]three and four.

[43:03]We couldn't get the edge

[43:04]in row one,

[43:05]but we're sitting there.

[43:07]All of a sudden,

[43:08]there's this lady who comes up

[43:09]and she's standing

[43:10]in the front row

[43:12]over in the corner

[43:13]right next to where

[43:14]like one and two are at,

[43:15]so she's decided

[43:16]I'm just standing

[43:17]and I'm just standing

[43:18]right next to seat one

[43:19]in the front row.

[43:20]Like, I'm going to stand here

[43:21]and dance.

[43:22]She moved down?

[43:24]Moved down

[43:25]and was just standing there.

[43:27]Anarchy.

[43:28]There's nothing sacred anymore.

[43:29]I kind of just let it go.

[43:31]I'm like,

[43:31]it's not interrupting me.

[43:32]Upstairs roommate,

[43:34]not having that shit.

[43:35]She's like,

[43:36]this is bullshit.

[43:37]Upstairs roommate

[43:39]goes to the bathroom.

[43:40]Oh, please.

[43:41]About 30 seconds later,

[43:42]Usher comes down.

[43:44]Yeah.

[43:45]Usher comes down.

[43:48]Usher comes down,

[43:48]kicks the lady out.

[43:49]You've got to move.

[43:50]You got to go back to your seat.

[43:51]Upstairs roommate comes back

[43:53]a few minutes later.

[43:54]I can't wait for you to,

[43:55]I can't wait for you to

[43:56]dub in the Usher

[43:57]over the top of that, Rob.

[43:58]Why?

[43:58]I just did it myself.

[43:59]It's right there.

[44:01]Yeah.

[44:02]I'll turn the echo way up.

[44:03]It's an echo though.

[44:04]Yeah.

[44:05]You know,

[44:05]it's a back and forth.

[44:06]Would you guys have gone to,

[44:08]the upstairs roommate

[44:10]eventually did admit

[44:11]that she did report the person

[44:12]because the person

[44:13]did not pay for that ticket

[44:15]and they were not supposed

[44:16]to be standing there.

[44:17]What do you guys think of that?

[44:18]Yeah.

[44:18]Your upstairs roommate is definitely a Democrat.

[44:21]I'll tell you what.

[44:23]I get it.

[44:25]It's annoying.

[44:25]Could I ever pull the trigger on that?

[44:27]Absolutely not.

[44:28]If they're in your space or if they're like pushing, yeah.

[44:31]It might just say like, hey, you're in my space, bro, kind of a thing.

[44:35]But no way would I ever do that.

[44:37]Not my job.

[44:38]I'm not a police officer.

[44:39]You know, like, no.

[44:41]We see a replay and it's like the most scantily dressed, most beautiful woman.

[44:45]Russell's like, no, it's not a big deal.

[44:48]Don't send her away.

[44:49]Don't send her away.

[44:50]They're going to play Jump Around soon.

[44:51]Please.

[44:52]But I was going to say, Matt, Green Day crushed it.

[44:54]I know we saw Green Day at the same concert like a year ago or a couple years ago.

[44:57]They crushed it.

[44:58]They are so good.

[44:59]The energy they bring.

[45:00]I don't know if they're always going to be like this, but they are an amazing band to

[45:04]see live in the concert.

[45:05]Is Billy trying to get the crowd saying, come on, get into it.

[45:07]Let's go.

[45:08]Matt, he didn't do that, but they did something way worse that you would have lost your shit

[45:12]over.

[45:12]They had like a probably a five to ten minute period where some

[45:18]sort of like bunny mascot wearing a twin shirt came out and like danced around the stage

[45:23]like to weird music during their during their show.

[45:27]Like this is what they're doing.

[45:28]Yes.

[45:29]Like in between Dookie and American Idiot.

[45:32]I don't know what it was, Matt, but it was not.

[45:35]It was horrible.

[45:36]Oh, no.

[45:37]You can just say, hey, we're taking a break.

[45:39]We'll be back in a little bit.

[45:40]So the one thing I learned, here's my lesson learned.

[45:42]If you guys ever tried to do the four concerts in four days.

[45:45]OK, you're allowed it.

[45:47]You're allowed.

[45:48]You're allowed to go have drinks before and have drinks at the concert, but you got to

[45:51]go home and then call it a night.

[45:53]Oh, right.

[45:53]Right.

[45:54]Night one.

[45:54]We went to Metallica.

[45:55]We had a great time, had some drinks and everything.

[45:57]We came home, called it a night.

[45:59]Night two.

[45:59]We went out after like went pretty hard afterwards.

[46:02]That makes that makes day three of the summer concert tour not even close to as fun as it

[46:08]maybe could have been.

[46:09]Right.

[46:09]And that was back to Metallica then, right?

[46:11]Yes.

[46:11]It was back to Metallica.

[46:13]Yes.

[46:13]And a band called Five Figure Death Punch here.

[46:16]Are you stone cold sober?

[46:18]Metallica starts up and you're stone cold sober the second night.

[46:20]Stone cold sober on day three.

[46:22]And you got to go.

[46:23]You got to tame it back down.

[46:25]Matt, you get drinks at a concert.

[46:27]Do you ever do stone cold or not?

[46:29]I try.

[46:30]I honestly try not to because my energy goes down, you know, especially to, you know, by

[46:36]like hour two, my energy goes down if I'm half in the bag, if you will.

[46:41]And so, no, I really try not.

[46:42]Maybe I'll have one just to just to have one loosen up a little bit.

[46:46]But no, I try.

[46:48]I really try not to drink that much at concert.

[46:49]Last thing that I had.

[46:51]So right after, right after these people are going through this whole thing, this is the

[46:54]craziest part of the weekend.

[46:55]We're sitting there about two rows down and right on the aisle on the other side from

[46:59]us, there's this lady and she sits down and you hadn't seen her sit there before.

[47:03]She starts slumping over, passes out, passed out.

[47:08]And people are all looking around her and everything.

[47:11]And this is a Sunday night.

[47:13]What time is Sunday night?

[47:14]Oh, the Sunday night pass out.

[47:17]Not good.

[47:17]Before Metallica.

[47:18]Before Metallica.

[47:18]Like during Five Finger Death Punch.

[47:21]And so everyone's just like no one's doing anything.

[47:24]And so finally, the upstairs room and they're like, someone should do some go tell someone.

[47:28]So I go up.

[47:29]I'm the good Samaritan that says I'm going up because maybe someone's got a health issue.

[47:34]Like, yeah, I don't want someone dying like at a concert because no one bothered to help

[47:38]someone.

[47:39]Right.

[47:39]It depends on the song.

[47:41]Yeah.

[47:42]But I wouldn't check till the end either.

[47:43]I mean, we've had this discussion.

[47:45]It's not going to change anything.

[47:47]It's going to be a big deal.

[47:48]It's going to bum you out no matter what.

[47:49]You might as well find out at the end.

[47:50]So I go up and I there's like no ushers anywhere.

[47:53]There's tons of people up there.

[47:55]No ushers by any aisle.

[47:56]There's no ushers by the doors.

[47:59]There's no security.

[48:01]There's no one there.

[48:02]So I like walk.

[48:03]It's just you.

[48:03]I walk way down the hallway to like another section, you know, five minute walk away.

[48:09]And finally, I find someone.

[48:10]I'm like, hey, there's someone passed out.

[48:11]You might want to go check on him.

[48:12]So finally, for a few minutes, they send like a medic comes down, wakes, wakes the

[48:18]lady up, lets her stay and walks away.

[48:22]Now, Russell, I'm going to guess.

[48:23]Yes, everything was fine.

[48:25]Turns out you just need a little snooze.

[48:27]She's back at it.

[48:28]You ruined her nap, Russell.

[48:30]Trying only leads to failure.

[48:33]You ruined her nap by going to tell another.

[48:35]The medic's not even down to the end of the row.

[48:38]She pukes all over in her section, like 15 feet from us.

[48:45]So everyone's kind of doing the look around.

[48:47]It clearly.

[48:48]Like reeks of puke in her, like by the people around her.

[48:51]Have you guys ever had a moment like that?

[48:53]Matt, you maybe had some stuff on the plane before, but have you ever been at like a game

[48:57]or a show when that's happened?

[48:59]Not that I can recall.

[49:00]Nope.

[49:01]Just a dog shit next to me.

[49:02]That's about it.

[49:03]I was at it.

[49:04]I was at a tenacious D concert and the guy, there's a guy like five rows back of me who

[49:10]barfed on the ground.

[49:11]This is like in a theater.

[49:12]It was not like in a concert.

[49:14]It was like in a theater.

[49:14]And the guy two rows ahead goes, oh, God.

[49:18]Because it had gone under the seats and like up to them.

[49:21]And he was like, oh, and everybody was freaking out.

[49:23]And I was like, oh, thank God.

[49:25]I'm sitting one row closer.

[49:27]I splurged a little bit or I'd be a barf on my feet right now.

[49:29]No, thanks.

[49:30]I was at a seven year old's birthday party last weekend where a kid barfed, but it's

[49:35]never happened to me at a concert.

[49:36]It's the same thing.

[49:37]Pretty much like people, people in the wrong seat.

[49:40]You got to get security.

[49:41]A bunch of people are passing out, throwing up.

[49:43]You know, we were talking earlier about how Aaron's the old man basketball player.

[49:47]You know where I realized?

[49:48]I was the old man at the concert.

[49:49]You know, it's a young man's game at the concert.

[49:52]A mosh pit.

[49:53]There were mosh pits going on on the floor for Metallica.

[49:56]And I was looking at him like, could you imagine if someone bumped into you that hard?

[50:00]Like you don't move for a week, right?

[50:03]Like you're done.

[50:04]No.

[50:04]And you wouldn't do it for sport.

[50:06]That's crazy.

[50:07]Just imagine someone hitting you square in the chest with their body right now.

[50:10]I would never be able to breathe again.

[50:12]I would just directly go right to an iron.

[50:18]They would put me right in.

[50:19]That's where I'd be for the rest of my life.

[50:20]Matt, rolling, going.

[50:22]Have we got to your rolling, going or not?

[50:24]No, no.

[50:25]Sorry, but I took a little while.

[50:26]What?

[50:27]No.

[50:28]Ah, I only got one thing.

[50:30]I was just going to say, I'll keep it short that I got one less that, uh, I, there's been

[50:36]what, two weeks of Olympics where we've been done for about a week now.

[50:39]And I watched it like as much as I humanly can.

[50:41]And I go through this every single time.

[50:43]I, by the time it's over, I can't wait for it to be over.

[50:48]I'm so glad that it's finally over.

[50:49]But for that two weeks, it's like just the most wonderful TV watching experience you

[50:54]can possibly do, particularly when it's, you know, like it's going to be in LA and four

[50:59]years of the summer.

[51:00]I don't know where winter is in two years from now, but when the, when there's the time

[51:04]zone change where you can actually like watch things live, if you want to in the middle

[51:07]of the night or just wait for the replays, things like that.

[51:10]Unbelievable.

[51:11]But every time, every single time I'm like, Oh, finally it's all over.

[51:16]I don't have to keep watching.

[51:17]Are you guys at all like that?

[51:20]Or could you, could you take another two weeks of the Olympics or do you not watch them all

[51:25]that much?

[51:25]That's really tough.

[51:26]No, the second week this year, we were in Lake Tahoe and we definitely watched stuff.

[51:30]We watched the coverage at night.

[51:31]But it wasn't like it was like the prior week I was working at home and then watching in

[51:37]the evening where it was just like all, yeah, all day.

[51:40]I could have, I could have done another week of that for sure.

[51:42]But I missed one week this year.

[51:43]So I tried to say, I really thought it was a big bummer in the Olympics that they ended

[51:47]with breaking.

[51:47]That breaking was one of the last things on there.

[51:49]Cause we watched those videos beforehand and we said, Oh guys, this is lame.

[51:52]And guess what?

[51:53]It was lame.

[51:54]It was so lame.

[51:55]It instantly got kicked out of the Olympics.

[51:56]It was so funny.

[51:58]So funny to see all this.

[51:59]This is what we thought we were going to get.

[52:01]And it was like a, you know, stomp the yard three movie scene or whatever.

[52:05]And then goes to the lady from Australia, which if you read her story, it's pretty darn

[52:09]good.

[52:10]Very smart lady and just entered in, but how bad did she flop?

[52:14]And you know what?

[52:15]You love to see it.

[52:16]You love to see people get.

[52:17]Rocked at the Olympics.

[52:18]It's one of my favorite things when they got that guy from some country in the fucking

[52:22]nowhere and he's a swimmer and he's just getting rocked.

[52:25]I'll eat that up all day.

[52:26]You know, it's just, does that surprise anybody that Rob loves to see the downfall of just

[52:31]punching down on people?

[52:34]Yeah.

[52:34]It's just so surprising.

[52:37]Yeah.

[52:37]Look at that guy.

[52:40]Ha ha.

[52:40]That was it.

[52:41]Rob rolling going.

[52:42]How's it going with you?

[52:42]Uh, listen, I had a very dad moment at the cabin that I got to share with my dad where

[52:47]I was like, Oh my God.

[52:47]I ordered a meat thermometer.

[52:49]You guys said you love each other.

[52:51]You guys say you love each other.

[52:52]Uh, we're working on that, man.

[52:55]We're getting real close.

[52:56]Okay.

[52:57]We're just about to, we kind of gave each other the half hug this time.

[53:00]Kind of one arm each.

[53:02]Good to see you.

[53:03]Had a great time.

[53:04]Thank you.

[53:04]Thank you.

[53:04]Right shoulder.

[53:05]His left shoulder touched.

[53:06]Yeah.

[53:06]I ordered a meat thermometer.

[53:08]I accidentally ordered four meat thermometers that came to the cabin.

[53:11]Four meat thermometers.

[53:13]And my dad and I opened it and we were both like, yeah, this isn't so bad.

[53:17]I can take it.

[53:17]I can take a couple extra thermometers.

[53:18]We're both like, I can have a couple meat thermometers at home.

[53:21]I'll take one.

[53:21]I can take one.

[53:22]We were so thrilled to get four meat thermometers in the mail.

[53:25]You would have thought it was like, did you actually order four or did they mess up and

[53:28]send you four?

[53:29]I ordered, I realized I was ordering two and I must've clicked it twice.

[53:32]Cause I did remember.

[53:33]You'll, you'll never guess why.

[53:35]It's like, the reason is crazy.

[53:37]Why I would have screwed up that order.

[53:38]I'm just ordering meat thermometers late at night.

[53:42]I bet I'm going to make this order correctly, man.

[53:46]I know you're new to Lake life, but most of the time, I'm going to make this order correctly.

[53:47]Most people don't have meat thermometers at their lakeside cabin.

[53:50]No, they just say good enough.

[53:53]Oh, guys go between the three cabins.

[53:55]We only had one meat thermometer.

[53:57]So for a while I had to ride on the golf cart back and forth to get the meat thermometer.

[54:01]Okay.

[54:02]So you're telling me that you haven't had, I haven't had a tough summer.

[54:06]No way.

[54:06]It's been the summer from hell because Jeffrey, the Butler was already at the other cabin.

[54:11]I wasn't, I had forgotten to take the meat thermometer with him when he went.

[54:14]Seriously though.

[54:17]Growing up, didn't you think you're going to encounter more butlers in your life?

[54:20]Yeah.

[54:22]Like still never, I watched fresh principal air.

[54:24]I was like, Oh, okay.

[54:25]Some people have butlers, but I, uh, Mr.

[54:27]Belvedere, he was a Butler.

[54:28]Yeah.

[54:29]Well, wait, didn't that show with the robot?

[54:31]Didn't she have a Butler small world?

[54:32]She had a robot, a Butler, right?

[54:34]I would argue Tony Danza kind of a Butler.

[54:39]The other, you know, for as much as we practice, stop, drop and roll.

[54:44]I thought we would, you know, have to use that a lot more in our lives as well.

[54:47]It's true.

[54:47]Oh, listen, we are talking about Kanye West graduation.

[54:50]Uh, this was released in 2007 and really it's the third of the triptych of dropout.

[54:59]What triptych?

[54:59]College dropout, late registration, and then this one, uh, graduation.

[55:04]And it kind of is like pre-fame, mid-fame, and then really super uber duper famous is

[55:10]kind of what this album is about.

[55:11]Yeah.

[55:11]The guest spots on here are crazy, right?

[55:12]Yeah.

[55:13]And basically he is looking, he, he said on this album, I toured with you two on the

[55:17]go tour, which is crazy that you could see you two and Kanye would open for him.

[55:21]Like that's nuts.

[55:22]And he said, it really changed how I looked at music because I wanted to make stadium

[55:27]songs.

[55:27]I want to make songs I could play over a stadium and people would go as nuts as they went as

[55:31]these U2 concerts.

[55:32]And you can hear him kind of moving away from the gospel that's on the last album we covered

[55:37]and moving more toward the electronica that's going to come six years later on my dark twisted

[55:42]fantasy.

[55:42]Like you can start to hear that sound start to develop with Kanye and basically, you know,

[55:47]he said, I want to simplify the lyricism.

[55:50]I want to make it songs I could rap in a stadium and it would be clear and everybody would

[55:54]know what I'm saying.

[55:55]Uh, and then he said, and it's going to be great.

[55:59]I'm going to put fewer tracks.

[56:00]I'm not going to do a ton of guest spots.

[56:02]Okay.

[56:03]I think he just had one person rap on this, right?

[56:05]There's only one other rapper that has a whole first on this album.

[56:09]Most deaf.

[56:10]Yeah.

[56:11]I know.

[56:12]I think a little Wayne has one.

[56:13]Oh yeah.

[56:14]Wayne has.

[56:15]Yeah.

[56:16]Yeah.

[56:17]I think he's has a whole verse, right?

[56:19]And then, um, I just found out we were doing this album about an hour and a half ago.

[56:24]Yeah.

[56:25]Little Wayne has the verse on Barry Bonds.

[56:28]So this album was, uh, his third Grammy for rap.

[56:31]He won his third rap album of the year Grammy with this album and got the third nomination

[56:34]ever for best album of the year, but didn't win it.

[56:38]So let's get into graduation by Kanye.

[56:42]Good morning.

[56:43]He doesn't start this one with any skit.

[56:44]No Bernie Mac, no Phi Delta Kappa.

[56:47]The other ones.

[56:48]Oh yeah.

[56:49]That's true.

[56:50]There's no skits at all on this.

[56:51]Oh.

[56:52]Should I make this song?

[56:53]My alarm clock.

[56:54]Good morning.

[56:55]You could do worse.

[56:56]Kind of a fun one to wake up to.

[56:58]Right?

[56:59]Like I think so.

[57:00]Good morning.

[57:01]Yeah.

[57:02]You could do worse.

[57:03]Sampling Elton John.

[57:04]Someone saved my life tonight.

[57:05]Man.

[57:06]I did not.

[57:07]I didn't pick the Elton John sample there.

[57:08]It sounds like cause he's got the unheard him say he's got Adam Levine on right in the,

[57:11]in the late registration album.

[57:12]I thought it was like another guest singer, but it's a sample.

[57:15]Hmm.

[57:16]Is that the verse where he wants to buy that ass a steak dinner?

[57:19]He's talking about that ass a steak dinner.

[57:22]And now a song that, uh, Kanye wrote about the underwear Aaron likes to wear champion.

[57:27]Is that a bird?

[57:28]If I say you wear champion underwear, that's a bird, right?

[57:31]I don't know.

[57:32]Feels, feels like shout out to Steely Dan, right?

[57:35]Steely Dan.

[57:36]Long hip hop relationship.

[57:39]Kanye wrote them a letter is the legend that, Hey, let me please use a song.

[57:46]I said, okay.

[57:47]Cause they got the letter.

[57:48]Aaron.

[57:49]If I told you I wore bike underwear, would you judge me?

[57:52]Bike?

[57:53]You'd be judging, right?

[57:54]Like the brand of bike?

[57:55]Yes.

[57:56]Bike.

[57:57]Like if you found out all I wear was bike underwear.

[57:58]Yeah.

[57:59]My only judgment would be that you definitely had to go out of your way to find those underwear.

[58:00]It means you spent a lot of time shopping for your bike underwear.

[58:01]Or you've had them saving, you know, I guess.

[58:02]Yeah.

[58:03]Either.

[58:04]Hey, either they're really old or you've saved up, you know, you're using a lot of

[58:05]money.

[58:06]Yeah.

[58:07]Yeah.

[58:08]Yeah.

[58:09]Yeah.

[58:10]Yeah.

[58:11]Yeah.

[58:12]Yeah.

[58:13]You know what I'm saying?

[58:14]Yeah.

[58:14]Yeah.

[58:15]Yeah.

[58:16]Yeah.

[58:17]You know, you're using like pairs 68 through 72 that you bought 18 years ago.

[58:21]Listen, guys, you could ask me right now, what kind of underwear am I wearing right now?

[58:25]I don't think I'd be able to tell you.

[58:27]Cause I'm buying underwear anywhere it's on sale.

[58:29]I'm underwear agnostic.

[58:30]I'll wear anybody's underwear.

[58:31]Really?

[58:32]Yep.

[58:33]I'll take it.

[58:34]Whatever.

[58:35]Wow.

[58:36]I've got all the same color, all the same brand.

[58:38]I finally worked my way.

[58:40]Mostly with Matt, but I recently bought some boxers.

[58:44]So I switched it up a little.

[58:45]They called it all the thieves, the one, whatever the ones that target just the straight up

[58:49]black ones.

[58:50]That's what I.

[58:51]All of his boxers are the ones where like his Dick has like a drafts head on it or whatever.

[58:54]It's all like joke boxers.

[58:55]A hundred percent of them were like, what the fuck?

[58:57]Like I loves that bit.

[59:05]Whose underwear is this?

[59:06]Ah, yes.

[59:07]That's the giraffe head of the cock.

[59:08]That's Matt's.

[59:09]I know whose this is.

[59:10]All right.

[59:11]Stronger.

[59:12]This is the second single off the album.

[59:13]Of course it's a.

[59:14]Yeah.

[59:14]Yeah.

[59:15]It's a Daft Punk sample and basically intergalactic planetarium is not planetarium.

[59:22]Don't say that.

[59:23]That's not the light.

[59:24]I can't wait for Daft Punk, by the way, that's going to be so fun.

[59:30]He made hundreds of versions of the song and in fact, release the song on iTunes goes out

[59:36]to the club, the club.

[59:39]He hears the song after sexy back, sexy back rips.

[59:43]He hears stronger.

[59:45]Super muddy.

[59:46]He's like, I cannot have a song be muddy.

[59:49]He hires Timbaland to come over work on the beats.

[59:53]Oh, no Timbaland fixes the beats.

[59:56]There's a great, uh, uh, uh, Tik Tok of Timbaland in there just hitting the 808s whenever it's

[60:01]supposed to go.

[60:02]Wow.

[60:03]Fixed it.

[60:04]Re-release it.

[60:05]He had already officially released it.

[60:06]Just changed it.

[60:07]Just re-release it.

[60:08]New digitally with a new drum track.

[60:09]Super loud, super crisp.

[60:11]Wow.

[60:12]Uh, I wonder.

[60:13]Timbaland.

[60:14]Timbaland.

[60:15]Timbaland had a great steakhouse.

[60:16]They should bring those back.

[60:17]Wow.

[60:18]Are they close?

[60:19]There was this Timbaland steakhouse, wasn't there?

[60:20]What's the, I cannot remember the name of the singer on this sample.

[60:21]It's Lalo something.

[60:22]Really delightful guy.

[60:23]Why does every steakhouse have to have a bit that they do?

[60:38]You know what I mean?

[60:40]Just fucking, oh, outback.

[60:42]You know what?

[60:43]People want to come to a steakhouse.

[60:44]And they want to be Australian.

[60:45]Said nobody.

[60:46]Who cares?

[60:47]Hey guys, we should go somewhere that has steakhouses and go to one.

[60:50]Together.

[60:51]Aaron, we're not doing your shit in Las Vegas.

[60:52]Don't make us do it.

[60:53]You know that the leader, leader of our group, and if, and if, again, if you haven't received

[61:00]a text yet about our plans for next year, then if you invite, if you, if you dare invite

[61:06]us on a hike again, you're off the group.

[61:09]Okay.

[61:10]Don't do that.

[61:11]Cause you know, some of us think about, well, I want to be nice to Aaron.

[61:13]No, of course I didn't go.

[61:14]Russell didn't wake up until 14 hours later.

[61:15]Well, I was, I was thinking about it and then he, and then he told me that he was paying

[61:16]$120, some college gal or something like just dropping my van.

[61:17]Let's go on a hike.

[61:18]And I'm like, well, if we ever hit a point where the majority of our Vegas group goes

[61:19]on a hike together, I guarantee that'll be the last year we ever go.

[61:20]They'll just be the end of the trip.

[61:21]I'm going to get one with me next time.

[61:22]Imagine you're playing pickup basketball, somebody, and they go, oh, I'm going to go

[61:23]on a hike.

[61:24]I'm going to go on a hike.

[61:25]I'm going to go on a hike.

[61:26]I'm going to go on a hike.

[61:27]I'm going to go on a hike.

[61:28]Oh, yeah.

[61:29]I went to Vegas.

[61:30]Oh, how was it?

[61:31]Oh man.

[61:32]The hikes are beautiful.

[61:33]That guy's old as fuck.

[61:34]You should not be passing the ball to that guy and saying, shoot, you should be yelling

[61:35]at him for shooting too much.

[61:36]I'm talking to my man.

[61:37]I'm talking to my man.

[61:38]I'm talking to my man.

[61:39]I'm talking to my man.

[61:40]I'm talking to my man.

[61:41]I'm talking to my man.

[61:42]I'm talking to my man.

[61:43]I'm talking to my man.

[61:44]I'm talking to my van.

[61:45]Let's go on a hike.

[61:46]And I'm like, well, if we ever hit a point where the majority of our Vegas group goes

[61:47]on a hike together, I guarantee that'll be the last year we ever go.

[61:48]They'll just be the end of the trip.

[61:49]Yeah.

[61:50]You should not be passing the ball to that guy and saying, shoot, you should be yelling

[61:54]at him for shooting too much.

[61:56]I'm talking about, uh, LaBee Schiffy, Schiffrey.

[62:01]Yeah.

[62:02]Let me shoot for you.

[62:03]Right.

[62:04]I'll be Schiffrey.

[62:05]Yeah.

[62:06]There's a British singer, songwriter, poet.

[62:07]So I want you, I want you to listen to this.

[62:08]This is, I wonder what we just, what we just heard.

[62:11]And he says that that was inspired by the YouTube opener for their concerts, city of

[62:16]blinding lights.

[62:17]And he said he wanted to do that.

[62:19]The same noise, this kind of work got, you could play it in a stadium and it would get

[62:25]people hyped up.

[62:26]So I thought that was kind of fun.

[62:29]You don't know when they're going to start it.

[62:31]You don't know when they're going to start it.

[62:32]Speaking of stadiums and music, do you guys want to go to the sphere in Vegas ever?

[62:37]Like, is that something on your, on your bucket list or anything?

[62:40]I would do that.

[62:41]If it was a band I really liked, it'd have to be something I really want to go.

[62:44]I don't think I want to go for you too.

[62:46]No, definitely not.

[62:47]Dead & Co has been playing there.

[62:49]Definitely go see them, but it's not lining up for when we can go and then, uh, who's

[62:55]playing there?

[62:56]What's their name?

[62:57]Eagle.

[62:58]The Eagles are playing.

[62:59]I don't want to see them.

[63:00]Gross.

[63:01]They're too old to see the sphere.

[63:02]I think the sphere might be a get laid twice vacation for me where I take a vacation to

[63:08]go see an artist that my wife wants to see and I'm guaranteed to get laid twice on the

[63:12]trip.

[63:13]Okay.

[63:14]There's, we went to see Adele, we went to see Lady Gaga, both of those were get laid

[63:18]twice.

[63:19]really getting wow what it's like groundhog's day for right he's just got to keep trying different

[63:26]things like now it's like and now next time rob tells me he's going to a concert i don't know

[63:33]what's going on it's like rob's bit about knowing when your friends have how many times is it when

[63:36]you go to your uh your wife's uh weightlifting friend's brother-in-law's place in brooklyn for

[63:43]a while like a two three through three yeah no that's gonna be a zero that's the thing is i don't

[63:49]even get any credit for it you're right i should hold out so then why even go you're not getting

[63:54]any credit for why even go oh my god i'm due to hold out okay i'm not coming to training camp i

[64:00]am not going to this shit on saturday it's a holdout situation so we agree to contract terms

[64:05]good life this is the third single t-pain said he thought of this song's lyrics or the how it goes

[64:12]when he was eating lunch with kanye and they kept eating lobsters and drinking crystal and i was

[64:18]like damn sounds fun that is a good time this is the most fun sounding track i think the drums are

[64:23]starting to wear me out like i know everybody says about the kanye drums like he doesn't

[64:27]these aren't the same ones really on college dropout but they get a little bit

[64:32]they're they're boisterous i'll say that for sure yeah just again t-pain you want to go down a nice

[64:39]little rabbit hole go listen to him singing some stuff because he is phenomenal the first single

[64:46]can't tell me nothing

[64:48]is released

[64:49]i don't remember this is a single this comes out all the way to number two

[64:57]in new york radio stations the number one song in new york radio stations during this time

[65:04]50 cent 50 cent has a song above and he and kanye released their albums at the same time

[65:16]curtis and graduated

[65:18]and graduated

[65:18]and graduated

[65:18]and graduated

[65:18]at the same time and 50 cent said if this album outsells me i'm going to retire

[65:25]and then it outsold him by like six to one he did not retire no and he and he quotes 50 on

[65:31]good life and and a lot of people say that this was really when this is the death of gangster rap

[65:37]is when kanye goes head to head against the last gangster rapper destroys him in record sales and

[65:44]all of a sudden this opens up hip-hop to all these other artists who aren't they don't want to do

[65:48]gangster rap right please help me aaron am i right or wrong here is this a good analysis or i think i

[65:53]think it's a good analysis i think you're you you're sickening yourself out there putting it

[65:57]planting a flag making a hypothesis i don't know that it's as easy to put music into boxes as as

[66:03]we're trying to do but yeah i mean i think i think you're right i think he changed some perspectives

[66:08]on what was possible in rap music so i'll give you that aaron are you fucking serious i just

[66:14]invested half my life savings into a music box company

[66:17]and now you're saying it can't even go in

[66:20]their slide deck was totally misleading

[66:24]aaron you'd also be surprised how easily wikipedia can put music into a box right rob

[66:31]no this is all from my research

[66:34]uh uh barry bonds

[66:40]and here's another hit we have a little wayne coming up

[66:45]yeah yeah

[66:46]we out of here

[66:47]at this point

[66:48]there's there's two types of people in the world people that love watching barry bonds hit super

[66:55]long home runs like me and people who gave a shit about steroids what type of people are you guys

[67:00]i love the bobs give me the give me the 500 foot homers

[67:04]i could care less about the steroids i thought it was so dumb that they made a big deal about it but

[67:11]mark mcguire was my dream body shape growing up i was like if i could look like mark mcguire i would

[67:16]be so happy

[67:17]and he's the number one baseball player that i'll sit and watch highlights of now

[67:21]and stories and all like there's a ton of great barry bonds content on the internet i will always

[67:25]watch it like i have a question for matt as a baseball guy how come left-handed hitters have

[67:31]such a beautiful swing when right-handed hitters don't like griffey and bonds have a swing that

[67:36]looks so different like there's no right-hand hitter that has a swing that looks like that

[67:40]why does it look so different i think and maybe brian from uh woodbury we'll call him uh woodbury

[67:46]woodbury we'll call him at some point if you look most left-handed hitters are also right-handed

[67:52]throwers okay and if you're a dominant with your right hand you are pulling the bat through wow

[67:58]and it's that much more smooth of how that goes some people want you to have the top hand i think

[68:03]that's how you control it and i just you know if your dominant hand's the one pulling and then

[68:08]ultimately pulling the ball out out of the park it just looks that much like my brother brother

[68:14]and i both throw right hand i bat right hand and i throw right hand and i throw right hand and i throw

[68:16]left hand he bats left hand he's got a much smoother swing than i do you know i think it's

[68:20]just the way that the body is set up with the dominant hands there's not a lot of there's not

[68:25]a lot of left-handed throwing right-handed hitters they they all they just they never make it like

[68:30]it's like a it's like a thing that i don't know if we can look up one let's see if can you google

[68:36]that rob how many active players bat righty and throw lefty uh mad burn let's see mad bum ricky

[68:45]henderson best ever okay yeah he's the base stealer that's one no he's just slapping it

[68:50]medicine bum burner is a pitcher let's see see like there's there's not a lot of names being

[68:56]thrown out here you're brilliant at this point in the album i became obsessed with genius's

[69:01]description of the songs for the last one it said the two brag about their high cash lifestyles and

[69:07]of course the ease with which they create hit songs and i was like god that's a perfect one

[69:12]and this one drunk and hot girls you'll never guess what it's about

[69:15]kanye explains his frustrations with extremely drunk but incredibly hot girls i forgot most def

[69:22]is on this album what the hell is he doing on this song why first of all why did you have one

[69:28]guest and he's on this song or two guests and you chose most after this one and why did most

[69:33]def say yes this was a time when most def was a really successful rapper what is he doing you

[69:40]would say yes to a kanye album period i think yeah i guess you would have to you'd be like

[69:45]here's a song called i eat shit and i am shit and you'd be like i'll sing that song let's go

[69:49]releasing these albums that were you know getting a lot of acclaim as like best lyrical rapper or

[69:53]best underground rapper or whatever and then he's on a song where he's barely making it yeah

[69:57]that's not good and it's a bad yeah bad song flashing lights is the fourth single

[70:03]it's so crystal clear the production of this guys i don't know what happened to me today this song

[70:09]made me super mad and maybe i was i don't know i don't know i didn't even realize it i was like my

[70:15]yeah i i've always thought the song was good something happened to me i was in the car i

[70:22]finished grocery shopping and i found myself getting really upset and i was like i gotta

[70:26]turn this song off it's making me mad aaron you're getting old there's a weird vibration

[70:31]thing going on man the music's getting too loud and you're getting too old everything i am this

[70:37]is a classic people have been talking shit about me and now i'm gonna say fuck you song which i

[70:42]love man i'm reading that lefties also would

[70:45]they swing are striding towards first base so they're like continuing their motion whereas a

[70:50]righty is swinging and then has to twist their body absolutely to head to first base

[70:55]i like dj premiere on the scratches on this one doing chuck d's voice

[71:00]and this is cool i think it's cool when kanye wants to throw it back and show that he listened

[71:09]to a lot of records and cares about hip-hop i like that everything i am and the glory kanye

[71:14]said it both we're both

[71:15]originally for commons album and in fact he said the glory was going to be commons first

[71:19]single if he had released it well that makes a lot of sense uh i love the way this song builds

[71:23]in the beginning yeah i think it just it's the kanye albums are so lush sonically what russell

[71:31]where's that chipmunk we talked about that yeah yeah

[71:34]now we're the south side i mean it's fun fun now it builds up like that

[71:41]now we're the west side a lot of drums oyer now you got me

[71:45]thinking about that homecoming we got chris martin singing we got john legend on pianos

[71:51]for all you old dads out there who love those two guys there's a strong dad move

[71:54]yeah big time dad move meat thermometers and cold play classic dad shit this song

[71:59]you guys have a favorite homecoming my favorite homecoming for comes up with this song it's when

[72:06]kevin garnett the big ticket came back to target center as of timberwolf when they got traded back

[72:15]over blasting over the speakers when they were doing like the garnett video package so great

[72:20]song for that type of moment right adopted son of chicago too it works and i thought exactly what

[72:24]robin you were talking about like stadium songs it was like the perfect song to be blaring

[72:28]at target center for that you got homecoming you got prom what did you guys call the dance in the

[72:36]middle for me hawkins for me it was sweetheart dance it was sadie hawkins rules where the girls

[72:42]had to ask the guy and of course that's where the girl asked for the girl to ask for the guy

[72:45]and eventually she became a topless dancer out in vegas and i never got out to see her which was

[72:49]top three regret of my life did you have to wear matching flannels for that dance rob or not

[72:54]no what are you talking about i thought you were making a joke what are you no

[72:58]it was called crystal ball and it was sadie hawkins yeah we had two we had two we had a

[73:19]matching flannel shirt to the dance you get the same flannel shirt you wear matching matching

[73:31]me a raging heart on my date and i were wearing the same flannel shirt oh my god

[73:37]that'd be crazy closest you can come to kissing yourself

[73:43]time machine

[73:45]sign me up like a closed loop kissing yourself right closed i got all my mustache let me ask

[73:52]you guys something i got my i got my mustache trimming supplies back so i did what i always do

[73:56]which is i go on tiktok and i type in how to trim your mustache and then i find what seems to be the

[74:03]gayest guy on there talking about trimming his mustache and i do whatever he says you guys got

[74:07]tiktok look at this and i can't see videos when people send them to me i can't either for my

[74:12]mustache they say you should leave a little strip of skin on your mustache and you can't see it

[74:15]you can't see it you can't see the skin above the lip below the mustache look at that no no no no

[74:20]that's not right

[74:23]apparently it extends your lips and that's what makes it look good is that a good mustache trim

[74:35]guys i gave him a real close-up there i think i can kind of see it it's like the old uh

[74:39]uh black and white film mustache

[74:42]one

[74:45]demarco or something like that right or the guy from the adams family i thought you're gonna say

[74:50]the charlie chaplin and i was like guys you know that when you trim your mustache as a guy you try

[74:54]to trim it shorter but it's a fine line because pretty soon it's gotta stay wet in the corners

[74:59]your mouth before you know it you're into that michael jordan territory where you have that

[75:02]mustache i was like damn dude yeah no it's gotta be wet in the corners your mouth cannot have that

[75:06]mustache michael everybody knows you're even you are not that famous rob i want to take you to the

[75:12]time machine i was looking for our chipmunk chipmunk hip-hop

[75:15]oh that we've talked about before and i couldn't find it but i found

[75:18]on our curtis mayfield superfly episode that you were making jokes about eating peanuts out of a

[75:25]belly button or a foreskin oh so it sounds like the show's getting better that's what it sounds

[75:32]like to me you know what i mean like that's great for me we're way up

[75:38]damn we're going up we're at least 50 better with the shit we're doing now for sure that's disgusting

[75:45]erin also had a lot of a lot of opinions on that there was a lot of sex in thundercats

[75:50]well now i'm not so sure sexy show i agree with myself uh home uh big brother was also the french

[76:01]raffy episode if you can remember back that far i don't i would have to listen to that now i don't

[76:07]remember that at all curtis mayfield superfly originally this was going to have princes it's

[76:12]going to be lonely for the beat

[76:15]but you'll never guess if prince signed off on that or waited the last minute and then said no

[76:19]i'm gonna shock you but this is a tribute to jay-z that episode also featured erin working at walmart

[76:27]yeah and giant gary bib

[76:30]this show stinks

[76:37]207 times like two hours of my life

[76:45]Malcolm Gladwell writes a second book 10,000 hours normally you know what he's i had to put

[76:55]like an addendum he's like robbed at 2,000 10,000 albums his podcast still stinks

[77:00]well off to my vacation on an island

[77:03]i still i don't pray i don't pray very often but every once in a while i get down on my knees and

[77:14]you know put my hands together and say man i really hope this podcast gets rob fired so he

[77:18]can become a stand-up comedian and live his best life that's what i say i don't have to do the

[77:23]podcast anymore i'd hire those protesters that's what i do i hire those protesters come around and

[77:27]be like rob's podcast is getting better oh wouldn't you do like one of those negative

[77:33]things like make it look like they fired you for the wrong reason like yeah can a dick even be too

[77:40]big

[77:40]well

[77:43]russell's put his hands in his face he's fed up we were talking earlier about who sent the voicemail

[77:52]we never talked about how we got through an extended text chain a picture of a guy we went

[77:58]to college with and his son and his son is wearing the beck did it better shirt at the

[78:04]metallica concert did you go meet him did you go find him and meet him i didn't know i don't know

[78:08]i know the person i haven't seen this person in 27 years i definitely don't know him well enough to

[78:12]know him well enough russell does not want to meet our fans man we know that russell is scared of our

[78:17]fans it doesn't matter if it's a dude in nevada magic mike or you cannot come to our child russell

[78:22]is terrified i was i was out think of like how big of a letdown it would be for like a 12 year

[78:28]old kid who listens to our podcast to beat me in person be like damn that guy is really unimpressive

[78:33]russell you're starting to sound like rob now being so negative you got to be more positive

[78:37]you got to be more positive he would see you russell and he'd be like rob was right that guy

[78:41]is so fucking tall it's crazy if he saw you and your roommate that would make that young child's

[78:48]life that would be like seeing santa delivering a gift russell that would be if he could meet

[78:54]the roommate and he knows he's one of the few fans ever meet the roommate that would be crazy

[78:58]russell the guy fucking bought one of our shirts he might ask you russell i'm i'm fucking serious

[79:04]right now he might ask you for an autograph i'm not kidding sign the shirt i'm not kidding he

[79:09]might ask you to autograph the shirt holy shit russell wow i didn't know i didn't i didn't know

[79:14]i don't know what the the his dad's number i know they listen to the podcast is what i've heard if

[79:19]that fan actually does is he's if he's still listening the the kid with the t-shirt but he

[79:25]should call in and and let us know if he would have liked to have meet russell or if it's one

[79:30]of those things like where you don't want to meet your hero yeah yeah and not just in the bathroom

[79:34]yeah okay because that doesn't count if you met russell in the bathroom bummer

[79:39]awkward don't know what to do okay russell says actually i need to use the little kid's urinal

[79:44]so big don't like to get it wet huh dad grabs a child runs away

[79:51]listen the only the only problem with the little urinal rob is sometimes i end up skeeting on the

[79:57]top of it oh hey that's where i normally put my drink and then pick it up and finish it later

[80:04]does russell know the meaning of that i do know i definitely do

[80:09]listen okay we are at the rating system okay we are talking about the 200 that's why you gotta

[80:16]have the song list you gotta know what you're gonna have some privacy in the public bathroom

[80:19]when you can skeet on it that would be a bummer wouldn't if that was your kink

[80:25]when journey starts played faithfully i'm out of there i gotta go

[80:34]well when i was younger my brother used to blast green day and i'd be drunk on it

[80:39]jerking off in the bathroom but i don't think that's giving me any long-term effects

[80:41]hey russell i forgot to ask for dookie did they did they play the secret song at the end did they

[80:52]play uh it was all by myself yes they did they did they got it i saw a tiktok of it and i thought

[80:59]of you guys because i didn't fucking send it to you because you don't have tiktok no you could

[81:03]have gotten a good tiktok from me and you didn't okay but guys guess what it's not about tiktok

[81:07]you know what else is crazy

[81:09]you guys said instagram things like that too i can't see those either

[81:13]damn russell yes just like a you're like a modern day hermit my friend i love it

[81:19]rolling well tone this is a perfect album at 204 hey rolling stone magazine you did it again

[81:25]okay aaron go to your basketball game and say i have a subscription to rolling stone magazine

[81:30]and see what the players say if you think this should have been a higher up which would be of

[81:35]course a lower number we've already covered it okay it got rolling boned

[81:39]it shouldn't be so far up in the list it should be way up higher on the list

[81:41]okay 100 120 123 okay maybe hey jimmy cliff should you be on there apparently not great

[81:49]episode okay you might have to go back and listen to it or is this a rolling groan

[81:54]okay this album is not as good as we thought it shouldn't be up at this height listen we've heard

[82:00]a lot of kanye i'm not gonna lie when i heard those drums i heard the same drums over and over

[82:06]and i'll tell you there's one thing i don't enjoy

[82:09]there's one thing i don't enjoy it's when you do the same thing over and over

[82:17]for entertainment purposes it makes me sick

[82:22]also i was recently dressed like a woman and i sat at a concert i don't remember what happened

[82:31]okay i was napping i was fine and then somebody woke me up

[82:34]oh all right

[82:39]that would be a rolling groan uh aaron what do you think rolling well-toned rolling bone

[82:43]or rolling groan we've talked a lot of kanye what do we think of this album

[82:47]yeah hard to say i parts of this are very good to me i think it's pretty uneven i think

[82:53]drunken hot girls is a pretty low spot um and it's probably been too much kanye i don't know

[82:59]what i would replace this with so i'm very confused about it and not sure where i think

[83:04]i'm gonna give it a rolling groan um because it's too much kanye in the top whatever 250 where we

[83:10]are but uh that's where i'm at rolling ground uh matt rolling well-toned rolling bone or rolling

[83:15]groan by the way if you guys don't have instagram you're missing what kanye's uh fiancee slash

[83:20]girlfriend has been wearing lately russell i advise you to check it out it's pretty awesome

[83:24]i think uh so we have there's six albums mr rosie in the top 269

[83:34]my beautiful dark twist of fantasy at 17 i think it was good the college dropout 74 late

[83:39]registration at 117 204 we've got this one graduation 244 is 808s and heartbreak 269 is

[83:46]jesus oh my god i think too many we've got six albums in the top 269 i think this is gonna be

[83:54]you know they had they had like 13 beatles albums there was a 13 rolling stones and they cut it down

[83:58]to like five or six i think this is gonna be the cut next time they do the uh the reorder

[84:04]which hopefully is in like 17 years and not two or three years um and you know some of these are

[84:11]gonna get pushed way down and one or two we're gonna drop off in my opinion i think this could

[84:14]be way farther down the list it was some bangers back in the day when it came out but i'm just

[84:21]not a fan of kanye the person anymore and all that good stuff so i'm just kind of off kanye

[84:28]i would rather see three maybe three albums total in the whole list and move on with it so i'm just

[84:34]this one is rolling uh bone no rolling grown should be lower on the list russell do me a favor

[84:41]for this uh episode description just put in there rob one big nut one tiny nut question mark

[84:48]and just put it in there so then when we check it like two years later we'll be like

[84:52]one big nut one tiny nut what was that about we're all like i don't know what that was about

[84:56]that's crazy it's a joke for future us russell we'll love it by ricky b l though yes please

[85:03]russell what do you think

[85:04]tone rolling bone or rolling grown i think it's the big surprise i was i was super excited to

[85:12]listen to this i like i love the first few kanye episodes and i you guys were mentioning the drums

[85:18]i think it was the drums on like the first two or three songs i stopped it stopped listening and i

[85:24]turned on beautiful dark twisted fantasy because that is a top five album for me yeah and i listened

[85:29]to that one again and it's so good and i think it's just that's that's so good i like it so much

[85:34]some of these other ones don't just it just doesn't it doesn't measure up to that other

[85:38]one so i feel like i'm not really treating it fair but i'm gonna say it's rolling grown some

[85:42]of the like there's the three really big hits that i know that i think are fun songs and everything

[85:48]but if i'm gonna listen to kanye i want to listen to the beautiful dark twisted fantasy so i'm gonna

[85:53]say it's rolling grown yeah listen unfortunately you guys are incorrect this album gets a rolling

[85:59]another same old drum okay i had something else written until aaron pointed out it's just the same

[86:04]over and over and that's all i can hear and it ruined it for me aaron so congratulations you

[86:08]ruined music for me and i've got to admit when people say to me on the podcast they say what

[86:13]what artists have you enjoyed more because this podcast i didn't know anything about kanye before

[86:16]we started this podcast so now when they ask me that i say first of all i think everybody should

[86:21]have rights okay and i think that he's done some messed up stuff lately that's how you have to

[86:26]start every conversation when you start talking about it whether or not you enjoy kanye and it's

[86:30]a shame because an album like this it's fun you can see him getting into twisted dark fantasy but

[86:34]next week we actually have an album that talks about the number one thing that affects all the

[86:40]guys on this podcast it's low t for the tillerman by cat stevens or whatever it's gonna want me to

[86:47]call him fun when you want to hear about the greatest albums of all time

[86:52]but you're just too lazy to look it up online low t i'm lazy if you want to hear from guys

[87:01]who chat and they get off

[87:04]i've got the perfect podcast for you jack

[87:08]beck did it better

[87:11]rob you saved a joke for yourself if you want to go back and pull that one

[87:17]no it's on the green thing over on the other side of the screen 69 is just a closed loop

[87:23]it's time to say

[87:28]oh wait i've been doing it wrong

[87:34]robin you're when you do do it wrong with your wife does she say that was a disgusting act

[87:40]it really made sense when i wrote it down too i was like yep closed loop makes sense to me
