Cat Stevens: Tea for the Tillerman (1970)
[0:00]In 2020, four friends decided to listen to every one of the greatest 500 albums as decided by Rolling Stone Magazine. This resulted in a text chain that celebrated the music, excoriated the order, and led us to making this podcast. We are far from experts. We promise to do almost no research. All opinions are our own, unless you disagree. Please sit back and enjoy. Beck did it better. We are all the way up to album 205. We have Cat Stevens with his fourth album from 1970. It's T-Fur-Fur. Damn it, Rob. You're doing so well. T for the Tillerman. My neighbors sometimes take care of her brother's dog, and he's got this massive underbite, and his name is T for Sutherland. T for Sutherland. Such a good dog name, right? That's so good. I heard the other name that you should name a dog, a D-O-G, like D-I-O-G-E. So when everybody says D-O-G, you go, you can just say dog. You don't have to spell it out. Listen. Okay, talk about Cat Stevens.
[1:00]You know, Cat Stevens had a kid. And here's the thing. We know Cat Stevens, history with names, brought with peril for podcast hosts that don't want to offend everybody. Hey, look out. It's tough stuff. What would be offensive about his name, Rob? I don't want to dead name him if he's going by some other name. But now, his latest album was released under Yusuf Islam slash Cat Stevens. So guess what? We're clear either way. Okay, we're good. I think Cat Stevens is good. See, even saying that, I sound really bad. I sound like I have a certain flag out in my front yard. Listen. Hey, it's on my boat. Hey, what kind of flag do you have in your boat said nobody ever before like two years ago? Hey, we should put flags on boats. What? That's crazy. Listen. He had a kid. And he wanted to name his kid the opposite name. Now, Cat Stevens had a kid. He wanted to name the kid the opposite name as him. So, Aaron, do you know what he named him? Dog Roberts? No. Dog Stodds instead of Cat Stevens. Oh, no. That's good.
[2:00]And you know what Dog Stodds is now? He's a bounty hunter. And I got to say, Dog the Bounty Hunter is something that's texted to us multiple times a year. No reason to talk about why. If you ever watch Dog, did you ever watch Dog the Bounty Hunter, Aaron? No, I missed that one. His wife had the biggest chest I've ever seen in my entire life. It was a crazy thing. Now this is saying something. It was crazy because on one hand, he was out catching criminals, doing bounty hunting. And on the other hand, in the office, she had a giant rack. I was like, this is a perfect show. I love this more than anything else in my life. What's the number of chests Rob has seen in his life? What's the over-under? 50,000? 100,000? Like in person or just in person? Come on, man. Why are you talking about a TV chest? I mean, he was talking about a TV chest. I think we're including digital as well. AI. I'm going to ask about AI, too. I'm just going to throw that in there. Let's just make a random question about AI. A million? I'm going to take the over on one million.
[3:00]Can you imagine? Wow. And it'll never get old for me. Listen, let's get right into it. Now, listen, we have a special guest, okay, who's not even, he's, I got to admit, he's Not even that special anymore. It's John. Russ got pulled out at the last minute. Whoa. Okay. He had to go do something right away. And I got to say, Russ said, you guys record without me if you want. So this, we're doing this with Russ's permission. I've got, I've got problems with this. What's that? Oh. Oh, boy. Oh, wow. For like three years, I've been saying, you guys just record without me. Let me die now. Come on in. Just for three years. This is the one time that Russ has one little issue that pops up. Yep. Yep. Sounds good. We'll do it. No, this is, Matt, don't even think about asking us to record without you. We can't do it. You're the glue. Russ is just better than pulling out than you. It's just, you got to recognize that. He's like the master of pulling out. I mean, cause we've got some friends and I'm not going to name names, but they're terrible At pulling out. It's like the worst thing they do.
[4:00]They're like John Henry. They're just digging deeper and deeper. They can possibly turn around. That guy got a ride to school. First day of school. He didn't have to drive himself to first day of school. He had a driver. Cause he's a chauffeur. Yeah. What is your guy's number? Your friend, the friend with the most kids. What do you guys got? Oh, what are they up to? Well I've got, we both have the one in Colorado with like 10, but I don't know About a friend. He's an Instagram friend. Friend oh i've got an actual friend buddy of mine from high school who's got 11 11 kids that's a Football team four is the most i know 11 wow and 11 is all with the same woman yeah oh yeah yep And they all live in one house oh yep they lived i think they were up to seven or eight where they Lived in a like a pull behind trailer like a fifth wheel type thing what can you and then i finally Decided they needed a house yeah i mean listen i love fucking i gotta it's top three for me

[15:00]Went to that so i've been to like six wow reunions because of sarah and i yeah and it's richfield He just thinks yeah your life is a high school region i mean that's that's pretty much it i'm Actually i'm actually not sure i knew sarah was from richfield i don't know if i knew that listen God's country i mean we don't have time to get into that i was thinking about this today I was like if somebody asked me what my co-hosts that i've been doing this now with for four years Any of their wives did for a job i'd be like oh boy that's a tough question i don't know if i Could tell you know what i thought about what does rosie's wife at gmail.com do i i don't know If i know what she does i am not sure to be honest with you she's in privacy it's private Yeah well that's hot that's hot as hell that's just what she says when she's like turn On your incognito browser let me see what was out there have you seen the new incognito browser on The phone by the way it's okay it's it's voice act is face activated it locks so you can't just
[16:00]Randomly open it by accident oh thank god somebody at apple's jacking off hey big ups to whoever that Is at apple okay open their work once with their porn yeah the porn from the night before they're Like god damn this is a lot of work and they're like oh my god this is a lot of work and they're We gotta block this down. Everybody else is like, what? Nobody else even, listen, If you don't know that Apple does that now, Because you're not using the privacy filter, That's the difference between you and me, okay? You think that you're in this world that, oh, I like it. I was born, I'm living in this world right now. My phone's mostly on privacy mode. Were we gonna say Aaron, have you ever been To a class reunion? No, I don't think my class has them. I think we had a lot of delinquent type folks Who like ran off and didn't organize stuff. So I don't think, but I also live a far away, But I've never, I've not been to a high school reunion. You want to stay championship in football And have no class reunions, that's disappointing.
[17:00]No, I went back, so I went back for the 10 year reunion Of my state championship football game. They did a thing for that where we got to go out In the field and stuff, but it wasn't a class reunion. Did you reenact your near fumble recovery? I, every day, John, it's like, I'm doing at least once a day. I could have gotten it. Well, let's get over here. Watch this, I could have gotten it. I could have gone to one state. God, my life would be so different. Well, the thing is we did win state, But I just, I had no, I had made no major contribution To the game. And if we, if I had done that, Then I would have been a hero, but. Aaron Rose of football to his kid, he easily snags it. No problem. Aaron's like, going inside. It's all mad. Take chapter as mom. Yeah. John, you, how many high school reunions you've been to? Two. And I plan them as the former class president. Whoa. Of course. Why didn't Aaron and I say anything? Why did we say anything? You guys should have said, you guys shut up. We're experts.
[18:00]I've been to one, but I don't even want to talk about it. What is it like to plan a high school reunion, John? It's stressful, regardless of who your classmates are. Did you have a committee? You didn't have to do it all yourself. Actually, the fun part was, is that it was with my, My best friend's wife, who was the vice president Of the class. So the two of us get together every 10 years And it put together a plan. Oh yeah. And map it out. Yeah. I dated her in eighth grade, so it was cool. Nice. So my advice to, to, to, to magic mic 69 would be, Go there with an open mind, reconnect, And remember, not everyone's gonna remember you, You're not gonna remember everybody, But just have fun. Talk to people that you don't recognize, Reintroduce yourself, have fun. And the best part is, is seeing some of these old people That you haven't seen in 20, 30 years, And hearing about what they've been doing, What they've done, it's, it's been a blast.
[19:00]But I will tell you, at my last one, We actually spent the night at the vice president's Parents' house, who were out of town. And the next day, the dad came home. This sounds like it turned into a, an orgy. It sounds like the fuck fest that he was looking for. This became the fuck fest. This became the fuck fest. Was there, let me just ask you this. Was this house have a hot tub at it? No hot tub, it was on the lake. So, it was on the lake. I mean, this is such a fuck fest. Did you end up naked, John? Did you end up naked? That night. I don't remember. Maybe. I actually saw, the odds are pretty high. You've been known to end up naked. I woke up fully closed, So I'm pretty sure I didn't get naked again. Even worse. I'm pretty sure. I know. Waking up with your shoes on, what a bummer. My socks are still on. So, you've had both of them. Shoes on, socks off. And they match. I don't know how this worked out. I'm sorry, socks fell off. It was a real Eisenberg uncertainty here, I don't know.
[20:00]Well, so the father-in-law was cleaning up afterwards, The next weekend, he found a plastic bag Down at the fire pit in a spray can. And he's like, Dave, what the fuck? Apparently someone was doing whippets Down at the fire pit, unbeknownst to us. Wow. So. Technically, that's huffing. They're not whippets. Oh, good huffing. Yeah, it's right. Whippets are wedged with a whipped cream canister, Just to let everybody know. In case any kids are listening out there, Don't get that confused, okay? Huffing is when you spray paint into a bag, And you sniff it from anywhere to five to 10 seconds, And you get so high. Aren't there betters? That seems dangerous. And it turns out this classmate, We found pictures later on Main Street. He'd left the bar and walked out In the middle of Main Street, Which was a four-lane road, And just took a piss right in the middle of Main Street. So it was a good moment. And you knew it was him, Because his whole mouth was just blue. I bet that's the guy who was huffing. You know what I mean? I can't believe he'd be huffing paint by a fire. That seems super dangerous to me. You know what I mean? Like one hand huffing paint. What's your whole face on fire?
[21:00]That's scary. So, hey, kids out there, If you're gonna huff paint, Get away from a fire. All right, it's dangerous stuff. So that's what happens at Class reunion. It's magic bike, good luck, have fun. Take a peek at the ex-girlfriends and... I'm trying to comprehend ex-girlfriends in high school. Girlfriends and I wish. Way to go. Give me a break. Matt, what do you think? When you're going to all these high school reunions? Well, I don't know, Mike. Magic Mike's situation. It's always fun to know two or three people That are going and like kind of having a plan And maybe going out for a beer beforehand So that when you're there, You have people to talk to you right away. Like, I think if you're gonna go by yourself And just show up, it's a little bit like Trying to figure out where you're land. I remember like thinking, Man, I don't want to run into this person or that person. And you ultimately don't, right? You just end up like saying hi if they're there even, Like, hey, what's up? And then you move on to whoever else kind of things. Like, it's not like you're gonna have like Some sort of encounter or anything like that.
[22:00]I had more fun with the people that I kind of remember, Like from like math class. You know, you take like the same math class For four years with somebody. You didn't really know them. They were just in a completely, I had more fun talking to those people And seeing what they were up to Than anybody like I played football Or basketball or baseball with or anything like that. And so I think you just, you find like, John, Did you say that find out who these people are Because you probably don't even remember Their name anymore or things like that And just talk to those people Because they're way more interesting to hear About their lives and the people who follow on Facebook Or Instagram or anything like that. Exactly. So people that you don't say in touch with That you get to reconnect with is the best part. Listen, unfortunately, you guys are incorrect. The correct answer first is Mike, two things. Number one, just understand people are always gonna want To talk more about themselves than about you. So ask questions. Okay, it's great conversation. You have something to comment. It's gonna be great conversation. Number two, you gotta see who got fat.
[23:00]Oh, jeez. We are thinking it, we're thinking it. It's time to see what everybody's up to. It's time to roll and go on. Who loves the computers? Oh, yeah. Gross. Okay, luckily I was fat in high school too. Suckers. Okay, you think you can get me? I don't think so. Been living in this world. All right, Aaron, rolling going. How's it going with you? You guys know it's going great for me. Today's a day, today's a great day, I suppose. We love it when Aaron's doing well. Doing great. The Iowa State Cyclones today defeated The University of Iowa Hawkeyes 20 to 19 At Kinect Stadium in Iowa City. I watched the entire game start to finish. I watched the first three and a half quarters by myself And I took Wallace to the arcade and the mini golf place And they had a great time. They got back just in time for Wallace to sit
[24:00]And draw pictures while I stressed Over the last three minutes of the game And he hoped against hope that I was gonna say Some swear words. I know what you're doing, Rob. I see if you can't dance with me this year. You can't do it this year. It's not gonna work. The Cyclones won. The Hawkeyes play the entire fourth quarter With their arms around their necks. Like it's fine, it's all good. I also just wanna say. How do you get your arm around your neck? They're hands around their own throat, Is what I should have said. What I don't get is at the end of the third quarter, The Cyclones players looked up toward Children's Hospital And gave them a thumbs down. Oh no. I saw the thumbs down. I thought a couple of these bad boys. I was like, oh, you shouldn't be doing that. And it's even better because Rob, I know. Pull the cord. Yeah, I know. Just pull the cord. Man, you think that's an appropriate sack dance At the Iowa State Iowa game Is when you sack the quarterback, You act like you're going to pull the cord? Oh no. Normally, I pretend like I was sitting in a wheelchair
[25:00]And pretend like I'm pushing it down. Pulling the cord and then pulling the sheet up over their eyes. What a sack move. That'd be crazy. That'd be crazy sack move. I knew this was going to take a turn, But I didn't know how far down to the depths we object. The only good person here, is that the problem? Get the fuck out of here. Yeah, I watched the whole game. You should hear what he says post-podcast. It's filthy. In my garage, and then at half time, I called my dad, who is a supporter And long-time listener of the podcast, And Rob, I know you were celebrating birthdays this week. My dad got to give him a shout out. He turned 69 yesterday. Yes. And the Cyclones. Wow. One in his honor today. So I'm doing great. I'm rolling going. I'm on a ride. You say that Cyclones were on top. Yeah. That's right, man. Yeah, that's exciting. The entire year. Wow. Worth it though for a win. You know what I mean?
[26:00]A win is a win. E.B. John, it's just one long tube, if you think about it. Yep, E.B. Well, congratulations, Aaron. That is great. I'm sure nothing's gonna go at the bottom. There's no way that bottom's gonna fall out anytime. No, sir. In the future. Not concerned. When they went three and out with three minutes to go, And I was like, you gotta throw the ball. Wallace looked at me and said, I bet you wanna say a swear word right now. And I said, yeah, I think I do. And he said, which one? Yeah, you're like, My favorite one. He's getting pretty good though. He comes up and whispers to me now. So he'll say like, dad, When mom was dropping us off, You know what I was thinking to myself? I was thinking, we're gonna be so damn late. Oh, he loves it. It's so good. Oh, it's perfect. And that can you imagine having a kid Say to your wife, we're gonna be so damn late? And you're just like, I know where you learned that, son. That sounds like something I said to you Under my breath as I was waiting for your mom to do her hair.
[27:00]We had reservations at 545. I said, we have to leave by 510. I was very clear. And he did when the clones hit, They had a 54 yard field goal was six seconds to go. This kid has never kicked in a college game. He had made a 54 yard or to put it on a 2019. Can you imagine? He looked at me and then, And then he said, what the hell? I can't believe they made that. He looked at me like, It's like, obviously this is not the moment, I'm gonna give you guys a shit about saying the word hell. So he's getting it. He's totally getting it. He said these ones tonight, son. So that's me. I'm right in the hide today. How's the rolling going with Matt? Good. I got a list that I think we should go through. Oh, wow. Is this a list? It's a double list. It's the, let's see here. I'm just within a list. Should I be doing the list soundtrack? I guess the top still spinning. So the top 15 most attractive hobbies to women. This is for men. Oh, okay. And then we have the top, We have the top 15 least attractive hobbies to women.
[28:00]Oh no. And so I think we should go through the top 15. Like the, we should go through that quick. And then we'll kind of figure out Where we all fit in the bottom up. What do you think is the number one top attractive hobby That women think mentioned? John, what do you think is number one? Crash test dummies. The list within a list. This is a, yeah. Which song? Well, that's a deep cut. That's only something that a sicko super fan would know. You know, this is if like, This is if like Monica Sellis would have played doubles With that fan who stabbed her. You know what I mean? Like this is what we're doing right now. We've got the psycho on the show. We're in the nut house. We're eating up that joke that two people understand. He's not locked in here with us. We're locked in here with him. Put the lotion in the baskets. What's the most? Yeah. Just try to guess quick. Cause maybe you got to, Maybe I got to tell you the top 15 furniture one. I think building furniture would be the most attractive.
[29:00]So woodworking is the one, two, three, four, the fifth. So I put could you put some Steve Harvey's music On for like a family feud? Doo, doo, doo. You know what? That's a good idea. Let's see what we got. You should be a producer. Wow. That's crazy good. Folks, we've got the top 15 attractive things To women of that men do. I'm going to say swimming. But hobby hobbies now. One, two, three, four. Well, that's a hobby, right? Nice. Swimming is. Oh, good work, Rob. John, what do you think? What do they find attractive? Maintenance, house maintenance. Wow. House maintenance. Yeah. I don't see that. I don't see anything near that. I mean, he needs to tighten up this bed frame. Yeah. Like woodworking is about as close as. Gardening, that's where we'll be. Oh, OK. Tell us, man, what is up there? Oh, OK. I'll start with 15 to go to one. So the 15th is traveling.
[30:00]OK. Basketball, but. I wouldn't want that basketball, I was just going to say. It's not a hobby if everybody does it. Yeah. But the gather is a zero step. It's different. It's way different now. The gather is a zero step. And then the euro step is not traveling Unless your foot hits the ground again. So it can go up. Yeah. It just can't come back down. I know. All right. You know what? I just don't like the way they play basketball these days. I'm going to say it right now. Back in my day, this was a carry. OK. What about carrying?

All those plants, you just planted a month Two months ago. They're alive. I'll take care of them. Let's go through the top 15 or the least attractive. OK, what do you think, John? What's their least favorite? I know what it is. The women's least favorite, man-scaping.
[32:00]Wow. A hobby. Man-scaping? Supposed to do that more than once a year. That's crazy. That can be a hobby. How fast does your hair grow? Not very, I don't know, John. Ask the second verse of how much is that dog in the window? A lot of people don't know that, But it's how fast is that hair grow? That was a. Somebody on this list maybe wants To get a pen and a pad of paper to patelly. Well, I am a bit of a writer. I don't know who they are. All right. So the 15th least attractive hobby is women. Comic books. Come on, leave us alone. Nerves. Several of those. Yep. 14. Cosplay. Oh, wow. Cosplay? OK. All right. We're just having fun. God, let us be. 13. Debating. Joe from Woodbury. He's a master debater. He's so good. He is a faster debater. So this would be 11. Drinking. No.

Next is anime. Oh, this is picking on a certain kind of guy. This is terrible. Well, hold on. Just wait till you get. Oh, I don't like it when he owns a bunch of snakes. You shouldn't have had a fair in his dorm room. I mean, who are these people? The next is makeup. Wait, did you say makeup? Makeup. Yeah. I don't know. Makeup? They don't like guys that wear makeup, I guess. I don't know. OK. Guys you can wear makeup. Here's where we start getting into kind of what Maybe is a little more classically thought of. So one, two, three, four, five. So number seven on the list would be, So number eight would be crypto. Guys that are into crypto. That was number nine. Number eight is cigars. Guys who smoke cigars. I agree with that one.
[34:00]Number seven is clubbing. Guys that go clubbing. This must be. Well, we're out. Do you know what the population of seals is right now? It's crazy. If you're just going to let them all be, what's the point? Probably get out of those seals. Yeah. Number six. I didn't. That was the sub. Save the whales. That was a subtext. But fuck those seals. Yeah. Save the wheels. Get rid of those seals. Number six is marijuana. Guys that do marijuana. Do marijuana. You sound like a fucking dark. Yeah, really. Do the marijuana. OK. But what if the hobby actually makes it a lot cooler To be around your family? Number five is Funko. What is Funko? Oh, the Funko pops, like the big head things. What? You guys don't know what Funko pops are. God damn, you guys are fucking old Funko pops. What is Funko? Like, no, it's not the same as a bobble head. It's these. Oh, those are cute. Yeah, I love those. Wallace is a little Dr. Strange one.
[35:00]It's really nice. Well, guess what? He's going to be at home. He's never going to get a date. Women hate this stuff. They'd rather you be out doing astronomy. At least he's not drinking and smoking cigars. The Duda Bites. Yeah, the Duda Bites. Is there that many people that are into this? Oh, it'd be that. When I went to those anime stuff with my kids, There were booths and booths just full. I mean, I thought I met the comic bookstore. So I guess they're bigger than you could possibly imagine. Do you want to see? I'll just show you. Are you dressing as Drake? Is dressing as Drake cosplay or is that something different? Look at this. Well, I dress as Drake most days. These are like what Funko guys do, Matt, Where they just buy like thousands and put them In their basement as like that guy found it like a wife. I mean, these guys, I'm not going to lie. It's not a wife. OK, these guys are losers. OK, this is nothing like having a tops pack from 1987. But I could open it anytime and actually collect some cool shit That actually means something. Not these 87 was a good year tops, too.
[36:00]Yeah, 86 of the wood paneling. 87 had the little 87 had the wood paneling. Oh, yeah, you're right. 88 88 had though. Swoosh. Yeah. 89 is a little more block. All right. As long as I still got my Kirby pockets from back then, There's nothing that could possibly devalue those. Well, this kind of flows into a number four arguing online. Oh, OK, we're not supposed to have any fun. Starting to hit home for a few people around here. What if people aren't buying my crypto? What am I supposed to say to touchy? Does anyone know number three? Do we want to know number three? I mean, I'm here for it. I'd love to know. I was into porn. I got to say, if it's a hobby, that's probably bad. You know what I mean? Because you do. You did always know guys like that, like you always know guys Like in college who are like, oh, I collect these. Or I like, I'm really into this one actress. And you're like, OK, well, no, we're not. That's not why we're doing it. This isn't like as some of we talk about openly. Yeah. Number two, gambling.
[37:00]Oh, this is really starting to stab us in the hell. What a bummer. I can tell you, Matt, I totally disagree with that Because I saw that woman win at craps in Vegas Like 30 times in a row while I was betting on her. And I found it very attractive. I'm not going to lie. I thought it was great. OK, I think she think you betting 30 times at her was attractive. Did you see her cross soaking wet? I don't even I don't even think I entered her brain for two seconds. You know, and I entered her and I talked to her for a number of times. I told you guys that story, right? This attractive girl comes up for craps and it's like Joe and I and Peter. She's the one you squatted. Yes, that's the one I squatted at the end and she is throw. And I said, listen, this is the most attractive person We've seen on this trip. Nothing has ever gone wrong in her life. She's going to win 40 roles in a row. And sure enough, she won 35 and we made so much money. Her boyfriend then comes up to throw and we both cash out and walk away. At one point, she was multiple times throwing the dice over the table Onto the floor, which you shouldn't do and you get yelled at.
[38:00]But every time she did, we'd all be like, that's OK. You're doing a great job. Just keep it up. Like we had to be nicer. We're under her power. And now every woman that's been listening to this podcast Has turned it off because we've talked gambling last five minutes. Wow, big part of our audience. Number one. And I had to look this up, but I still don't know if I know. But Mano's fear. Mano's fear. Is that a Pauli Shore movie? No, that's biosphere. Oh, that group of podcasters who like Andrew Tate and those guys. Yeah, there you go. Feminism. OK, I agree with that one. Well, this is coming in those. I think there's a giant gap between that and gambling. You know what I mean? The gambling can actually be cute and fun. Yeah, the Mano's fear. What a bomber. Make money for your family. I come home from Las Vegas. Spend that money right back on my family. Yeah, those are the Most and least attractive things for women, I guess, According to some random reddit poll. Maxim. Maxim magazine.
[39:00]Yeah, Matt gets FHM. OK, he's a classic guy. He's a good Maxim. John, Roland going. How's it going with you? Oh, it's going fantastic. I got a lot of FOMO hearing about Russell's escapades at his summer of Russell music outings Going to all those concerts and Russ. Russ Fest 2024. God, it gave me such a boner. So I lucked out. We won the Neighbor Lottery back in the pandemic And every year they've been putting on a backyard live music show With a group that actually will play like at places like the Perf Club. You know, like that kind of talent. So very good musicians. So that was last night. So we went to to my neighbor's backyard And set up the lawn chairs, sat down, Listened to some great music and hung out with some great people, Drank some beers and since it was my neighbors and my tree goes into their yard,
[40:00]We we made them a little Ornament tree with our beer cans put it up so they could see it In the morning. And of course, they didn't realize exactly who it was. So it was just fun here in live music and being out amongst the people And a big shout out to our neighbors who are fantastic people. It's the best weather right now. Did they play all originals or did they play any covers, any favorites, Any highlights for you? All originals. All originals. It was great because it was a trio. So we had the lead singer was a female who played. I mean, they have a good. Yep, it's a yep, a power trio. It's like tenacious debate with one more. So she played guitar, not anymore, because one of them was voting for this. Socialists. They'll be back. They'll be back together. It'll it'll be it'll be back. The power of the D. She played acoustic guitar vocals in violin fiddle.
[41:00]Both more fiddle though, Rosie. It'll come up later when we start talking about a little Cat Stevens. Oh, I can't wait. Yeah. And then a bassist and then a it's me. Wait a minute, John, I just heard. Did you hear that? It's me. Was it the Bup baby? It's I know it's little Cat Stevens. Hey, it's a wild world. Matthew and son, la, la, la, la. OK, little Cat Stevens, get out of here. We're talking about stuff. We had my grub, Chet Stevens, a little bit later. Get out of here. So it's great. It was great and frustrating Because the Packers were playing in Sao Paulo at the same time As a huge Packer fan. Hello, I'm a big Packer fan. Hello. You didn't watch the Packer game. Oh my God, I think this guy's huge. Little Cat Stevens, you're smaller. It's relative to one of a season. You don't have to one. You know, I I recorded it. And once the backyard music, live music was done, I came back in and caught up with catching up on the live plays. And did anybody ruin it for you?
[42:00]No, because I left my phone in the house, too, Because my high school group of friends, It was who we have a fancy group with and just up. Obviously, you guys, what do you guys fantasize about? Jordan Love Naked without an MCL tear, But maybe just a spring. I don't know. Well, you just we just hope I'll be split up for my wife. So I was reffing last night, John, And just a brief story I don't want to hijack. We were reffing and I was going to tape it just to watch. You know, I'll be up late. I'm like let's watch NFL game. It'll be good. No, everybody's asleep kind of thing. But one of the refs gets in the car right away and says, Oh, the Packers are up 24, 22. And I'm like, mother fuck, how you made it that long without. Yeah, like, don't people know? And today, sorry, you gotta ask nowadays. Before you write, you have to ask. You have to ask because someone that I was talking with In the backyard was like, oh, I got an update. It's like 12 to whatever. And I was like, cool.
[43:00]And I just tried to waiter the rest of the night So that I wouldn't get any more live updates because I was Like, I'm going to go back and watch this thing in the Entirety and catch up on this text ring that I've been Ignoring and contribute. And yeah, it was, it was good. I mean, I was frustrated with the Packers loss, but exciting That we had a fun night of live music right next door. The good news was I missed it last year, but last year The Adyna police showed up because after the live music Ended, they turned it to a dance party with some techno Music and apparently some other neighbor didn't appreciate The loud music and kind of clock. John, are you sure? Are you sure that this is a real police? Cause if that policeman showed up and said, listen, there's A noise complaint and then you go, oh my God, are we making Too much noise? And he goes, you're not making enough. And they start thinking, that's not the real police. I was going to say, I was going to ask you, it's perfect Weather, which for me means you can wear shorts And a sweatshirt shorts and sweatshirt weather right now.
[44:00]And I was wearing just jeans and a Fjall Raven flannel. It was perfect. It was ideal. How would you say it in Norwegian? You know what? It's very attractive. Women find it very attractive foreign languages. I just learned that. That's why I asked for all of our lady friends. How would you say I was wearing a Fjall Raven sweatshirt In Norwegian? I like to have sex with big titties. That's what the Jonsson twins taught me. I can see why women find it so attractive. That's why they like foreign languages. That's great. Hey, so Roland, go on Rob. How's it going with you? Listen, I've got a problem because I do not know how to Interact with humans. I need to have, I've had two interactions today And I think I fumbled both. Okay. So I need to tell you what happened. You need to go to the advice corner. I probably need to go to the advice corner. That's a great point. We need to go to the advice corner. Okay. Sorry, Russell. Go be using your corn. It's time for Russell's and we'll clean up after ourselves.
[45:00]Oh yeah. Out walking the dog. Okay. We are in New York, of course. There is a large circuit. There's a large open space next to my apartment. My dog is so old, can barely walk. We get out there. Signs all over. It's like a park, but nobody, it's like a, you walk. It's not like a play park. Signs on there. Dogs cannot go to the bathroom on the grass. I have not obeyed one of these signs in the last Eight years. I've never seen anybody obey it. Nobody's ever enforced it. Nobody's ever talked about it. My dog is going pee on the very edge of the grass. This is like a 10 in the morning this morning, Saturday morning. Guy comes up with the cane, with the four things at the bottom, And right away I knew I was like, oh, I see that cane With the four ender on the, like a lion tamer ender. I know I'm in big trouble. Okay. And he goes, your dog can't be doing this. And I said, listen, I said, he's old and blind. He doesn't know. I said just, I said, please. And he goes, well, your dog must be smarter than you
[46:00]Because you're not supposed to read that sign. And I said, listen, I said, I get what you're doing. Okay. I know what you're doing. I said, but this is my Saturday morning. I said, I'm not, I cannot get involved. Like I cannot deal with this. So just please stop. Okay. He walks down about 10 feet. And I thought to myself, that is so mature of me. This guy is trying to harass me. And I was just like, listen, I get it. Get out of here. Don't tell me it drives me crazy that you're Fucking telling me what to do. Okay. There's nobody that thinks they own more than New Yorkers When they own less. But I was just like, I'm not going to, I'm just not going to engage. I should put my headphones back on and just kind of Give him the shush motion like this. He goes down a bit and turns around and points at the sign And starts yelling at me from down there. I lost my mind. I lost my mind. And I said, and this is like, there's like, I would say 50 people around right next to the restaurant. People are eating breakfast outside right next to us. I said, I fucking told you to stop. Oh no.
[47:00]And then I said, and don't ever talk to my kids again. You're a pervert. I said, that guy's a pervert. And he started walking away. And I said, you're a pervert. Get out of here. Oh yeah. No, I 100% did. I hit him with a you're a pervert thing. He turns around and go, and I was like, I told him to leave me alone. I didn't want to have to call a pervert. And the public was so good though, because he was like, I was like, get out of here, you pervert. Don't talk to my kids anymore. I warned you. Oh my God, guys. You know, I was thinking, I was first, I was kind of thinking like, Oh, this is dicey, but you didn't call him like a child molester. No. He just called him a pervert. A pervert, yeah. Pervert, I think that's great. That could be anything. I would never do it. But for a New Yorker, that's great. Well, then I was like, I should go on that Facebook page For the Roosevelt Island and tell that everybody that, My kids said this guy's a pervert. And then I was like, okay, that's too far. That's too far. I'm not going to do that. I'm going to calm down. But like, I was thinking about it all day. I was like, that ruins my day. Why did that guy have to do that? But I thought I hit him with the pervert one. So just everybody's advice out there,
[48:00]If you get in a conflict with somebody, Feel free to call the guy a pervert. And I got that idea from my kids, Because if I'm bugging them on the subway, Sometimes they'll just say out loud, Sir, stop bothering me. And I have to be like, ha, this is my kid. She's making a joke. I'm like, someone's going to come tase me. When you say that, you cannot say that. I'm going to be in big trouble. Where would they have learned such a thing? I guess it's funny. It's funny that you learned that from your kids. Saying something disgusting to make a joke At someone else's expense. Not everything is a joke. Wow, my God. Then, tonight, and then tonight, I went to comedy. I was totally befuddled. I'm in the bathroom at the end of the show. I'm taking a long leak. This is an old guy leak. It is not a forceful stream. It is coming out as fast as it's going to come out. And I was full. It was taking me a long time. Meanwhile, behind me, it's packed. Guys are lined up out of the bathroom. One of the guys I'm there with is a couple people back. I know it's packed. So I just go to the bathroom. I come out. I open the door.
[49:00]There's a guy waiting there. He's about probably, I don't know, 25. He goes, did you take a shit in there? Oh, what? I go, I was blown away. You cannot ask other people about their bathroom situation? I was like, there is no time in our life Where we're more conditioned to be silent Than when I am walking out past the stall That you were walking into. You want to know if I took a shit in there? Guess what? You're going to fucking find out in about five seconds, Just like everybody else. We all play the same game When we walk into a stall after somebody. And I get it. You don't need to ask. Does it look like I could have taken an absolutely Enormous shit in that thing? Of course it looks like that. I'm a big shitting looking guy. But you don't ask on the way out. This is when we're supposed to be radio silent. And so I literally turned and I go, excuse me? That was the only thing I could think of To come out of my mouth was excuse me. When a guy, just imagine next time you go to the bathroom At a restaurant, you come out and somebody goes, You take a shit in there. You're like, is this, is nothing sacred anymore in society? It's crazy. Guys, how would you respond to that?
[50:00]I would just said no and kept walking. Oh, you're goddamn right. I did. I'd give him a big hug. Rob, I think you need to learn some Norwegian from John. Yeah. And if anybody ever asks you dumb questions Or like that guy bugs you at the park again, You just pretend like you don't understand them Because then you just wave his hand at you and move. So it's so hard to just ignore people. I don't know. I've gotten in less conflicts since I've started jujitsu Because I know that everybody can kick my ass. But I don't know, guys. I need to learn how to deal with people. They drive me crazy. I hate everybody. Let's take a ask, but that's so crazy. You can't ask somebody to take a shit. Just think about that. Next time you come out of a restaurant bathroom, Imagine someone coming and go, you take a shit in there. It's, it was flabbergasted. I've never been so power move. That's what I do. Matt, is that on your list of things women don't find attractive As guys who said that to me? Because that was crazy to me. That was a must have been number 16.
[51:00]Oh my God. So listen, we are talking about T for the Tillerman. This is Cat Stevens fourth album. Okay. Just to give you an idea. Cat Stevens from the UK, from Britain. He has a couple of hit songs only on the UK charts. I love my dog Matthew and son. He was actually touring the country at the time With, oh, maybe you heard of him, Jimi Hendrix. He was on a tour with Jimi Hendrix. Imagine you go to a bill and it's Cat Stevens, Jimi Hendrix. Oh, who else is on that bill? Oh, a little guy named Inglebert Humperdink. Oh, okay. No, that's Tom Jones. Inglebert Humperdink is lesbian seagulls. Yeah. And so you'd be like, well, I wonder who the opener is here. Is it Inglebert Humperdink or Jimi Hendrix? I can't decide. And basically, he had a couple of albums. Then he gets a bad case of, I just found the disease, guys. And I'll tell you what, it's a top five funny one. You ready for this? Okay. Top five diseases women find funny.
[52:00]Let's go right now. Cat Stevens after his third album got a bad case of tuberculosis. Okay. It was in the hospital for like six months. That's kind of where he found this. He found faith. He wanted to see what the world was like. He writes a bunch of songs. Some of them come onto this album. And of course, we're also having the classic fourth album artist power move That we see so often where Cat Stevens said, I don't want a super orchestral sound behind me. I don't want anything fancy. I just want me and a guitar. So they put him with this guy named Fallon Davies, Who's like an experienced session museum And acoustic guitar player who's big into folk rock And a music called skiffle, which is kind of like a jug band sound. Skiffle, the Beatles were a skiffle band when they got together. Is that what they did, the skiffle? What is skiffle? Skiffle, the only thing, the song I heard chewing gum. This is the, oh, wrote checking. Checking guy. What is going on? Listen, who knows why I'm having trouble typing.
[53:00]It could be any reason. Okay. This is what I saw as a skiffle song, Where it's basically music that you play When you don't have real instruments. And obviously this is like a weird like Re-waitification of it or whatever. But chewing gum loses flavor. Is Ray Stevens related to Kat Stevens? Or is that completely random? Holy shit. That's a great question. Ray Stevens, the guy who wrote The Streaker. You think he's related to Kat Stevens? Wow. That would be crazy. Yes, somewhere down the line, they got to be related. Oh my God. That's an insane thing. I didn't even think about that. So then he comes out with T for the Tillerman And Wild World Goes Crazy in the United States. Becomes a top 20 single. T for the Tillerman gets released. It goes that the album kind of goes a little bit crazy After Wild World. And basically people kind of fall back And get used to all of his other music. Then he wrote the sound to the next album. I'm not even talking about this album. He's writing along with all these songs on this one.
[54:00]He's writing peace train on the next album. Morning is Broken and Moon Shadow. I mean, what a run of two albums With this many hits that we're going to hear today Plus Moon Shadow, Morning is Broken is crazy. Right. And then not really any hits after that. I mean, he's still obviously a major figure. But these are his songs that we know. I mean, obviously part of it is that like 77, He said, I'm not making music anymore, Getting into Islam. I'm doing this whole thing. He's kind of come back recently, Kind of out of that a little bit. But it really was like, He had this like two years of insane songwriting. Let's get into T for the Tillerman. Where do the children play? Okay. I always think about this anytime. I see what swing sets are like nowadays. These kids have got it so great. Swing sets rule nowadays. Back in my day, we had a bunch of pipes That you climbed up high. Like that was a swing set. But they don't have all the swing sets now Are fully rectangular based, made out of wood.
[55:00]They don't have what we had where the, You can make the swing set jump out of the ground Where we had the triangular shape. Like if you swing high enough, You can rock a leg and floor a foot. Yeah. That's a great point. Kids miss out on that. The swing sets that my kids have, That might seem like my nieces and nephews play on, They've got like a zipline. I'm like, what the hell? Zipline. Switch on. What's the, how old is he when he makes this album? And does he have kids or what's his story? Because he's thinking a ton about kids And fathers and sons and mortality And like what was going on? And he was in this boat. No kids. Born in 48. Yeah. Yeah. So he's like 29 years older. No kids. He's just broken up with his girlfriend, Somebody to Arborville, Who they actually, he wrote a bunch of songs about. Tessa Arborville. It's one of the songs that he wrote. Next up. 22. Art-headed woman. And if you think I'm going to make a hard-headed woman
[56:00]Joke during your brawn, I'm not going to talk about anything that's Gone on the last week in my house. No big deal. Well, I will say it was my wife's birthday. My wife's birthday comes at the worst time every year, Which is the first week of school. It's absolutely the worst. She said, oh, my birthday is Thursday. And then she said to me, You don't have to sigh when I say when my birthday is. I'm sorry, but it's the first week of school. It's the worst. Every year, her birthday is like the worst. Did you remember the candles? You guys imagine? Well, I didn't get any cake, so. No, I didn't remember the candles. Your wife's birthday isn't a day where you're, You had to do your job and also celebrate a birthday. Like how rough? How dare you is. How dare you attack a teacher on his first day When he was so tired? Okay. So tired. How many classes? How many classes did you teach that day? I was going to do three and then one guy canceled. Okay.
[57:00]So I did two. I though I will say respect Because we did have another member of our tech chain today Said that this is the first year he hasn't coached High school football in 23 years. And I was thinking about how old I am. Number one that someone I know has been doing Them for 23 years. But I told that story to Anna and she was like, Yeah, this is why teachers need summers off Because they start doing it when they're 22 And they're going to do it for 23 years. Like, so she's got your back. Now context clues. Anna might be a teacher. Matt, write that down. She might be a teacher. We got to think about this. Jay, we're going to piece it together Over the next couple of episodes. Now the hardheaded woman, it makes me think, Is there anything more painful looking in a headbutt In a movie? Like when you see somebody get a big headbutt In a movie, that looks like it kills. Could you imagine getting headbutted by somebody? I guess like a headbutt to the eye socket Definitely would hurt. But I tried my actually replacements guy And I tried to recreate the Zinedine Zidane headbutt. We're like, could you really knock someone down With a headbutt to the chest? Yes. I wasn't able to do it.
[58:00]But I mean, Zidane probably could. But I still think moderates might have flopped. You were blasting each other in the chest As hard as you could with your heads To see if you could knock each other over. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. See? No, this was before cell phones. It was 2006. Oh, I thought it was on your vacation over the four. No, I didn't make that clear. No, this was... How many three-two beers have those two guys drank? They're trying to get Zidane headbutt. This was in the immediate aftermath Of having watched the game at the Herkimer. So I think it might explain it. This is what I'm always saying to my girls too Is that we just had a guy describe How he recreated a famous headbutt And all three of us were like, I wonder if you could knock somebody down. Like we're picturing in our heads. We're dumb as hell. Wild World. Okay. Oh. What a beauty. I mean, guys, his voice. This is 1970. This is so much earlier than I thought it was. It's crazy how good it sounds. I mean, just a perfect mesh of guitar Quality of the voice.
[59:00]It's so good. He wrote the song about kind of getting back Into music after his tuberculosis. Berculosis. And I got to say... TV. Oh, baby, it's a wild world. Nailed it. Is he playing guitar in here? He does a little bit with... And also this Alan Davies is the other guy. Oh, okay. Or man, does he play guitar? I think he does, right? You're... Is that thing like... Is that thing he does hard to do, John? Where it's... Or is that kind of simple? That's pretty easy chromatic. I could do it. So if I could do it, I feel like it's simple. So... But it sounds so sweet that... It does, doesn't it? I can tell you... The descending chromatic... Guys, Kat Stevens is an all-time karaoke trap. You think you can sing Kat Stevens and sound good, But I can tell you right now, He is singing way higher than you realize. Right now at home, Literally try to sing along with like a karaoke track Of Kat Stevens. Maybe you download lots of karaoke tracks to your computer.
[1:00:00]You have hundreds on it right now. Okay? Try to sing a Kat Stevens song. It is way higher than you think and way more work, maybe. If you go back and listen to the parody song at the beginning, You'll see I'm actually quite high out of my range. However, a band that could sing this song... I just wanted to play this because I found it, guys. A little band called Mr. Big... Covered Wild World? Listen to this. Yeah. Okay. Wow. Yup. Mr. Big. And I got to say, I didn't have enough time to put together a true list, But this did lead me on a little like... Mr. Big cover type thing that I was like looking at. Oh, let's just listen, man. Yeah, let's get... I'm willing to go on that journey. What song? Let's start with the list. Okay, let's get the list. Hold on, little girl. Okay, wait. Let me... I got that. He hit the list intro. This is going to be a top five list. And I know what you're thinking. Oh. Terry Bradshaw is Mr. Big from Sex and the City?
[1:01:00]No. This is an actual band that was called Mr. Big. Lowkey one of the greatest band names of all time. Their lead singer, 2G, for Russell. 2G's. For Russell, I think their lead singer looked like Marty Janetti from The Rockers. He did. Yes. And their guitarist named Paul Gilbert is one of the greatest guitar players of all times. Okay, so... Did they play with electric drills or was that a different band? Paul Gilbert did do electric drills. Yeah. Yeah, Makita specifically. Okay. So, this is the first... This first song for Mr. Big that is a cover. I'm going to tell you right now, it's actually secretly two covers in one. They're doing a perfect van Halen impression. And then they go right to Bob O'Reilly by The Who. It's a crazy Mr. Big cover.
[1:02:00]Crazy. Let's get up to the... Pearl Jam covers this all the time. Guys, is this making you want to go to a Mr. Big concert? Yes. I was just looking up. I was looking to see if they're touring at all. I said they got a new music available as light as well. I don't see why you're here. Wow. I don't know. Why didn't Shawn Michaels get so much bigger than Marty Janetti? I mean, that just... I think Marty Janetti was a lot older. Yeah. Let's see if we can find... Is the age difference? Because, man... But it feels like H.B.K. Was just destined to be who he was, right? I mean, he was that talented. Here we go. Guys, a little Judas Priest maybe by Mr. Big. Oh, that's 45 seconds of banter. That's too much. Sounds great. It's our quality here for this.
[1:03:00]Yeah, I've got it there for killing that. Part of the problem is we are seeing what they look like now. And it kind of is a bummer. Okay. This is a high school reunion trap where you go and you realize that... Wait a minute, all these people look old as shit. And then you're like, uh-oh. That's not good. All right. Finally, to finish the list... This song does rule, though. Okay. Guess what, guys? Unfortunately, this list is over and I'm going to tell you right now. I will not be seen of Mr. Big. Of Mr. Big concert. Okay. So, even if they play Wild World... I'm not doing it. I'm not doing it. I'm not doing it. I'm not doing it. We're in America, man. We're in America, man. We're in America, man. We're in America, man. We're in America, man. We're in America, man. We're in America, man. Thank you. That was generous. A Billie Sheehan is one of the top bassists in all of rock music. He's got a signature bass from Yamaha. They're a fantastic outfit. You think Mr. Big has a top five bassist of all time? Is that what you just said? Yeah. Billie Sheehan is one of the top five bassists of all time.
[1:04:00]That is a take so hot that I can't do anything but love it. Like what else is in... So this is Paul Gilbert, the guitarist, and Billie Sheehan in the bassist. And their top five status is based on their Mr. Big catalog? No, just a skill with his bassist. Yeah. I probably should have done some more research to back this up. Did you hear Americans band? I'm listening. Billie Sheehan has... Did you hear me say he has his own signature bass model with Yamaha? Maybe. Okay. That's really... What does that mean? I bet it's long on one end and fat on the other end. Like it's... Who cares? You got your own guitar. Wow. I mean, it's not like a crazy different guitar. Right? Oh, is it yellow? Okay, great. Oh, he played with David LeBron, Stevie Vai. Oh, there you go. Okay, all right. I love him. I see where he's going now. Big resume. So it's not just Mr. Big. No. Because I was trying to figure out how many albums Mr. Big put out or what they're... Yeah, we don't have to... They did a lot of covers. Did I ever tell you that? In fact, it reminds me.
[1:05:00]That's Stephen's episode. We should do a list of the best... Okay, Miles from Nowhere. Oh, yeah. It's a great... The ones that I choose. Billed. His voice right here. Listen to this. Lord, my body. Oh, yep. Has been a good friend. Yes. It's the reason he did it. Sounds like he was recording in like a big empty room. I guess like all studios are empty, but... Apparently, even he got sick. Piano songs. He got sick. He got very spiritual, but he wasn't sure what kind. So he was doing like Buddhism, Taoism. And one of the things he did was he became big into numerology for a while. And I was like, God, that'd be a wild turn, wouldn't it? You just get big into numbers. You see a hundred? You're like, oh, that makes me think about... Just to me, I'm like... Numer... That doesn't make sense to me. Five, 20s.
[1:06:00]25s. Wait a minute. That makes a fucking good point. That explains a lot of my shit, actually. I feel better. Damn. Who does this guy remind you of? Like in this 205, you've covered a lot of albums. There was just some moments of James Taylor, Jim Croci, you had a little Edmund Fitzgerald of Gordon Lightfoot. There's a piece of this that's just so familiar. And the shocking thing is I did the very little research And prepped for this very quickly. I had no idea he was British. Like you can't... I didn't either. I didn't either. You can't tell at all, right? No, not at all. I would have guessed he's from California. I was going to add Van Morrison. That's her personal call for me. Yes. If I had listed one more, Van Morrison's on that list. Exactly. Yeah. I might die tonight.
[1:07:00]Let me read one thing. So our namesake back at a... He won a Grammy for his album Morning Faces, right? Yes. Okay. When he's describing that by his inspiration for the album, He said, Morning could be a time of reckoning, Such as Chris Christopherson Sunday morning coming down. We're lucky to come to, like Lenin's I'm Only Sleeping. And then he says, Even spiritual renewal through sheer wonderment. Kat Stevens morning has broken. And so Beck has used Kat Stevens as part of his inspiration For his album Morning Faces. So for Russell here, When it comes to being inspirational in their mornings, Who doesn't matter? Who doesn't matter? Beck did it better. There you go. All right.
[1:08:00]I think we landed the plane. Yeah, we brought it in. Does Russell do everything? Is Russell the glue of this podcast? I don't get it. Wait, did it take you until now? I thought he did nothing. I thought that guy brought zero to the table. This is crazy. Now my question with this song Is do you think the big bopper listened to this song On February 3rd, 1959? Miles From Nowhere? No. Oh, but I might die tonight. This one. That'd be crazy because A, This song comes out well after that incident. Oh, yeah, you're right. Yeah. I didn't do the math. I mean, that would be something. Like if you got a time machine, That guy comes out and he hands you the song But I might die tonight. And I was just about to get on the plane. I'd be like, wait a minute. I'm hitting pause on this one. Better not. Hey, baby, it's me, the big bopper, baby. Not going to get on this plane, by the way. He's got a saw guy in a time machine. He said, hey, baby, give me a song.
[1:09:00]He says, you might die tonight. And I got a bird feeling. And think about that. Big bopper becomes basically Chris Christofferson In that story, right? Like he has Chris Christofferson's career, But it's the big bopper. Crazy. You're telling me the big bopper Is going to be in the highwayman? Oh my God. You imagine. Oh my God. He was a vandal. Hey, baby. He was a highwayman with a sword and pistol by his side, baby. And on the coach roads, he did ride. Oh, yeah. That's my impression. Oh my God. Am I going to get on Saturday Night Live? I am so lost on the highwayman. Is the big bopper in Chris Christofferson? When did they cross paths? Because Chris Christofferson didn't get on that plane. So he survived, right? Or was that Merle? Is that Merle Haggard? Oh, okay. Who didn't get on the plane and survived?
[1:10:00]Oh, maybe. Okay. Maybe I forgot that. Maybe it was Chris Christofferson. Yeah, they were kicked off. It was three of them now. Guys, junior. Why are you making me do more research In this plane crash? Nobody likes this bit. You know that. I don't enjoy both anyone. And I call it the big bopper plane. That's the first time anybody on Google Has called it the big bopper plane. Nobody refers to that plane as the big bopper plane. That's just because they don't. Hey, John. Whelan Jennings. Whelan Jennings. What's that about? Who? Guess what? Hardy Jenetti is five years older than Sean Mike. So that's why. He was the age six. Yeah, he was probably breaking down already. Guys, do you want to guess who else was in the highwayman? Whelan Jennings was. Okay. So that last bit I did, it's still Works. You landed that one. Yep. Worked it. Hey, baby. You landed that experimental. Wow. I tell you what. I mean, that would be a crazy highwayman. That's all I'm going to say. All right. Next up, longer boats.
[1:11:00]Kat Stevens originally claimed this was about him Seeing a UFO. And then later said, no, I was just being a dick To the journalist. So I feel like there's Two skips on this album for me. This is one of them. And that's not to Other people probably might dig it. It's just the one I, it's a little too like. No, this song sucks. You could say it. King's Trio for whatever. Or whatever. It's just a little too trite for me. Yeah. I don't know. It felt like when he had to sing Cuckaburra In elementary school, It was just like a little bit too commercially catchy And just kind of annoying. Yeah. Mike, or Mike Corral teacher In elementary school made us sing Y'all 16 times. What do you get? And I realized later, he was on like this school union board. And I was like, this guy's just trying to get us Into union stuff as like second graders. I'm like, how could he owe his life to the company store? He's got to be able to make a living. What is this free market business going on? We need for the government needs to be Protecting the worker. Okay. Three day weekends.
[1:12:00]We should all be having this. My soul to the company store. Next up into white. Now listen, I'm not going to lie. A lot of hits on this album, this middle part, not it. Drags a bit. Yeah. Yeah. Still pretty, still fun. I had a great time listening to this at work. Very relaxing. Aaron, did you listen to this around the house? I did until my son asked me to turn the sad music off. Oh no. I tried to listen to it at work And I had to turn it off Because I'm sitting there just like, Really feel like doing anything right now. So I had turned it off. Put some pearl jam on. I didn't notice because it was the first week of school So this fit my mood perfectly. On the road to find out. It's like the George Harrison song. Yeah. Yeah. Kind of Paul Simon, that's two.
[1:13:00]Okay, yeah. 1970. This is 1970. This is so good. Sounds so good. We weren't born yet. Next up. This is a song where he sings both parts As the father talking to the son And the son talking to the father. Powerful. Many people think this is the best Cat Stephen song. We're into random reddit polls. Okay. Listen to that emotion. They're trying to listen to that. Yeah, especially because now I agree with the dad. I'm like, hey, that dad actually, That dad makes a lot of sense. Yeah, you should listen to him. Yeah, now. Yeah. Yeah, I know. I know what's happening to you. Aaron. But that line from... Go ahead. Go ahead, John. No. Just that line from the moment I could talk, I was ordered to listen. Captures it all, man. For everybody to think it's a whole cycle. It's kind of an anti-teacher line. That's what I always thought. I was like, well, sometimes you do need to listen
[1:14:00]And not talk because Teacher's doing his job. Eyes on me. Eyes on me. All right, I'll wait till you're ready. Actually, don't say that. That actually is quite tricky for me. One, two, three, eyes on me. Oh, you guys think it's funny? You guys think something I do almost every day is funny? No. You think it's all just me saying there's naked people In videos I'm showing in class? No, it's a lot of one, two, three, eyes on me too. I use those tricks in coaching and it's great Because it happens every single practice. Tell the kids I have a swear word right here On my board and then turn it to them. Every kid will be looking at it. Kids love swear words, okay? And then when it's just a player, Whatever you do coaching, I didn't know. Done. Karen, I was going to ask you. So in that song, I heard a little bit of a rasp there That actually remind me of Bob Marley. So is there something unique in the vocal chords That creates that? It was like, so it differentiated from that previous list That was like the Jim Crow, G, Van Morrison,
[1:15:00]Like that type of stuff where it was, It actually had a bit of a Bob Marley pick to it. I can hear that. I don't know how to technically or physically describe it, But it just feels like going more toward the limits Of where your voice is going to fray or break. And Bob had that for sure. And I mean, with Bob, you think maybe it was like The smoking changed his voice, but yeah, It's just that willingness to go that little extra place In your voice that isn't totally safe And you might get like a more raspy sound. Okay, I kind of liked it. Eddie Vedder does that too. Eddie Vedder also cuts his lemons for his drinks with an axe. So I don't know if we can... Yeah, I like the sound too. I think it's just that like, yeah, I think it is that slightly more risk-taking thing Than like maybe Jim Croci would have done, But I don't know Jim Croci's whole catwalk. For sure. 100%. Jim Croci never sounds this emotional, ever. I wonder if Replacements guy would call in And see if his guy has that a little bit, Because a little Replacements guy is a little fringer.
[1:16:00]He doesn't listen anymore. We know that, okay? That is an established fact. That's canon. He stopped listening when friends were canceled. Aaron, I can't believe that we're ending with this. I mean, to end with this, We've been waiting this whole time. We've gone through things we don't like and we're ending. What are we ending with here? With the titular track. Wow. Ending with the titular track. Titular track we've ever had. It's hide the record, Aaron. The last song on the album. Titular track is on the last song in the album. Way at the back. But I got to say, Tea for the Tillermen. I think one of the most beautiful songs on this album. I love it. Short. But listen to the build here. This song did make me think, Are you guys drinking tea?
[1:17:00]I always try coffee only. I always tried because I think it would be cool. That's beautiful. You have winters in here. That happy days was monstrous. Like it reminded me of Richie and Potsey and the Fonz. Joni? Joni or Shione? Yeah. I think I'm supposed to be drinking more tea Because I went to my doctor and I wasn't... No, listen. I was not listening very well. Blah, blah. Hey, you got a big heart. Yeah, I know. No, actually, whatever. And he said to me something about having this. This is going to blow your mind what I'm about to say. Okay. He said I should probably be drinking more tea, I assume, Because he said I do have low tea. Can you see it coming in?
[1:18:00]I wasn't sure exactly. He landed both points. And yet you still have the sweet mustache. My tea is so low yet a few of my pubes are the size of my penis. Does that sound like a guy with low tea to you? We've reached that portion of the show. I got to walk with a guy walking my dog to the guy today. Does that sound like a guy who's got low tea? I don't think so. I paid the fool. I mean, he's so far down there. That's low, Mr. T. I paid the fool. I'm more tired than I used to be. Oh, Mr. Low T. I exercise. I don't build muscles as fast as I used to suck up. What? Mr. Low. Mr. Low T, I can't. I can't believe I don't have more things to say to you, Mr. Low T. Hey, guys, let's open it up to you guys. Do you guys have any questions for Mr. Low T? How's yours? It's to be our t-shirt for Vegas next year. Mr. Low T.
[1:19:00]Don't worry, ladies. I'm Low T. You don't want to talk to me. Yeah. I got Low T. People always ask me why my chest is so big. My Low T. Got a Mastier. I got a Mastier. I told you that, baby. Oh, Jesus. Me and my Got a Mastier, we don't get out no planes, Hannibal. That's probably not even the first Got a Mastier joke We've had in this podcast, But it's certainly been a long time since the last one. Listen. Hey, Aaron, you don't have any questions. Nobody has a question for a Low Mr. T. I asked how his sleep was. How do you sleep, Mr. Low T? Oh, does it affect your sleep, too? Now, wait a minute. This might actually might have to go in. Is that what's going on? I was just asking questions. It's like, look it up. Next on the Low T. Okay, let's look up. You know what? To help this bit, let's look up symptoms. Wait. A Low T. Probably help somebody out there. This bit needs helped off the stage.
[1:20:00]Excuse me? This bit is the stage, Aaron. You're an actor on it, okay? All right. Depressed mood. Okay, let's just go through how many of these I have. Depressed mood. Yup. Increased body fat. You know it. Difficulties with concentration of memory. I can't remember the last time I remembered something. Gynomastia. Decreased muscle strength and mass. Decreased in endurance. No, because you've been winning records. No. Yeah. No, you don't have it. I've seen your Instagram. Yeah. I can barely walk as far as I used to, Hannibal. Speaking of Low T, your t-shirt didn't even come at your waist. Hey, Rocky, don't turn your back on me. Sucka. I'm not fighting you. Your endurance is low and your chest is so big. His name is Robert Paulson. How was it, you sure? You know who I met at the testosterone hospital? Aaron. Aaron, look at me, sucka. Guess who I met at the Low Testosterone Hospital When I went there?
[1:21:00]RfK Jr. You and I went to the same place. We got testosterone shots. You kill a bear together, too, on your bike? In Central Park. I was going to, but I have decreased muscle strength. Sucka. That's one of my symptoms. According to clevenclinic.org. By the way, do you know my favorite drink to drink at night? What? Tea. It's tea. When I go golfing, sucka. Do you know what I hit the ball off? The tea? The tea, sucka. I mean, Mr. Tea. Is it low in the ground? I mean, you hear me at a golf course. You'd say, well, that name fits him to a... Well, what, sucka? To a low tea?
[1:22:00]No, it fits him to a low tea. Yeah, that is good, actually. Listen, Aaron, I'm so low tea, my drives are nuts. I can't get it up high enough. My tea is so low. That would be a good bit. Hey, why is your tea so low? I don't know. Age? Okay, I'm golfing. I put my tea really low to the ground. Why is your tea so low? I don't know. I do have kind of a mast yet. Now, here's the thing. We have to get done with this episode. But Aaron, you'll never guess what kind of my favorite shirt is, sucka. The T-shirt. Oh, you do it. Hello, T-shirt. One of those low T-shirts. D.V. This is my low T-shirt, sucka. Chance got me. Speaking of low tea, we sold another T-shirt in our store. I don't know who bought it. We sold another one.
[1:23:00]I can't believe it. It was probably Ross's son. You saw him at the Metallica concert? No, that was before. This is another one after that. It's crazy. We probably saw him out in the wild. It was like, I gotta get one of those. I gotta get that shirt. Okay, let's listen to the episode. Oh, I should have bought the shirt. So we've doubled our T-shirt sales now. Projections are due. We should just revise the projection. Oh, I shouldn't have done that. Oh. Trying to think of one. Trying to think of one in my head. He's telling me to do one episode, and he's like, I'll make one four-hour episode. I can do it. Let's move on. Come on. Let's get to the rating system. Now with the rating system. Wait a minute. Wait a minute, sucka. Time to kick off this football. But something's missing. Something's missing from the Iowa State football game today, Sucka. Aaron, do you want to guess what it is? We can't find the T.
[1:24:00]It's like, yeah, it's so low. While the T is so low, they ain't kicking any field goals. Sucka. I've kind of lost track of this bit. Do I have low T? Is that the thing? I'm Mr. Low T. Yeah, that's right. Oh, I can't tell if you're Mr. T Or if you're Robert Downey Jr. And, uh... In traffic thunder. In traffic thunder. What do you... You people, what do you mean? If you can't tell if I'm Mr. T or Mr. Low T, Let me give you a couple of things to look out for. Number one, depressed mood. Number two, difficulties with concentration of memory. Is that... Is this the first time you guys are hearing this? Number three, increased body fat. Sucka. Number four, decreased in muscle mass. No, wait. I got them ass deals. Number four, forgot about that one again. Number five, decreased muscle strength and mass. Number six, decreased in endurance. Sucka. Of course, one of the greatest rocky foes ever. Clubber Lang. Now, rolling going, weighting system.
[1:25:00]Okay, Google search T question. Oh, I got a good one. Mr. T cereal. Aaron was the best cereal ever. It was... That was the Peewee Herman. Oh, Mr. T cereal. I want Mr. T cereal. Aaron, Sucka. I need to change. My wireless carrier. Did you guess who my wireless carrier is right now, Sucka? Sprint. Is it low T-Mobile? Low T-Mobile. I've only got two bars. Along with Ghana Mastia. What are you... Where are you going to go? Where are you taking your service to? Actually, I was thinking about cricket. It's Ryan Reynolds guy. I seem to have a lot... He seems to know what he's doing. Going the right direction. How about that first company that you can see right there? Oh, okay. That'll be way better. AT and Low T? I'm taking it to AT and Low T. First person to get the iPhone.
[1:26:00]AT and Low T is iPhone negative one. Had no charge. Had depressed energy. Pretty fat, too. Those phones back in the day. His mood was depressed. Used to be a man. Used to be a real man. Okay. Now he's Mr. Low T. Everybody making fun of him on podcasts. Mr. Low T's got to invest some money. Where should I do it? Fidelity? I don't know. Where? I'm going to Mr. Low... I'm going to Low T. Row Price. Let's go to the second page of Google, shall we? Suck up. Marina, that's pretty close to that earlier bit About T-Mobile. So I'm going to skip that. We'll edit that out. My T-Mobile's got a lot of stuff up. Internet-wise.
[1:27:00]Very good SEO. Hey, Low T, you're going to go to Manny's And get just a great steak. What kind of steak? I'm with a butter knife. I'll tell you what. Okay. I would want a steak that has an increased level of fat. And especially large around the breast area. That's why I would get a Low T-Bone. Russell. Heck, we did you so badly. We're lost without you. He's going to listen to this bit and love it. Only note. He would have been egging you on. Only note. Low T-Bit should have been longer. Can't go longer. We still have depressed amounts of energy. Yeah, we know Mr. Low T. Okay. Thank you. All right. So the rolling, let's get to the rating system. Rolling well toned, rolling boned, or rolling grown. Now, of course, this album is at 2020.
[1:28:00]No, that was the year we started. We're friends decided to listen. This is, we're up to 205. You can see where I got confused. 205. She's real fine. My 205. Oof. Okay. Let's land this thing. Okay. Now, 205. Is that a rolling well toned? Okay. A rolling well toned would be if it's perfect at 205. Listen, it's a great song. Great voice. We got to hear Cass evens. What's going on? This would be perfect at 205. If this should have been earlier on the list, Which is a lower number. Okay. We're in a time machine. We go back. We go back too far. Hey, baby, what's this? If you smoke, if you win, it's too far back. Yep. You saw the dinosaurs. What would be your favorite dinosaur? Hey, look at that dinosaur over there. Does his arms seem really short?
[1:29:00]Because his, or is his chest just really big? Kind of got a mess there, doesn't he? That's a low T-Rex. Hey, let me write down Joe for this in the podcast. Bang a gong, but low energy. That's low T-Rex as well. You don't want to forget that. Bang a gong, get it on. Not as much as you used to due to your low T-Rex. Get it on. Boy, did T-Rex not play as long as they used to? Oh yeah, well, this isn't T-Rex. This is low T-Rex. They have less endurance. It seems so irritable. It's that had no focus. Yeah, it seems to be all over the place. They're playing concentrate. Listen, or is this a rolling ron?
[1:30:00]Okay, this song, this album was no good. It shouldn't be this high up on the list. It should be a higher number, of course, lower on the list. Okay, Aaron, let me start with you. I'm terrified. Oh, I know what it is. I know I had an ending joke, And I just forgot it for a second. It terrified me, so I had to write it down. Aaron, rolling well-toned, rolling bone, or rolling grown? Cat Stevens, okay? Not Dog Stodds, his son. Cat Stevens, T for the Tillerman. What do you think? I think there are some moments in this album That get skippable for me, And it did bring me down at times to listen to. But I think the songwriting is really nice. I think he says things in an interesting way. I think it belongs, and it's got some real moments of beauty And some great songs. I think it belongs in the list. I think I'm going to lean rolling grown, But I do like the album. Oh, wow.
[1:31:00]John, what do you think? Rolling well-toned, rolling bone, or rolling grown? This album is definitely rolling bone. I think this is a propaganda play against Cat Stevens. Did Cassius Clay take a hit when he went to Muhammad Ali? Did Louis Alcindor take a hit when he went to Kareem El-Dul-Jabbar? I'll tell you what, this album... Wait, wait. What about Aki Malajwan to Haqi Malajwan? Don't forget about that one. That's a good one. Thank you. I did forget about that one. That was key, because that H clearly defined it. And it turned everything. It did. This is a great album. Great musician, great songwriter. We've listened to 204 albums. Up to this point. And this one belongs to be much further in the past. So if we get in the time machine with rivets and smoke, It should have been in the 100s. It's not a double digits. This should have been in the 100 to 199.
[1:32:00]I think you're right. It was great. I loved it. It's great music. I listen to it all the time. It's his fourth album. I think Matthew and his sons is attribute to our podcast mate, Matt. It's definitely. It's good stuff. It's worth it. It's where it fits. Yeah. And Wild World goes out to Aaron. Here's the thing. Father and son goes out to you. Shh. Don't tell her about that. Matthew. Hey, Matt. I don't know why I called you Matthew. Sometimes I like to be more formal on here. Suck up. Matthew, did I hear that you're a basketball ref? What if, as a coach, I came on the court and I argued with you, But I quit the stops because I do have low endurance. Okay. I get tired very easily. What would you as a ref give me for insulting you in front of the crowd like that? Me personally, nothing.
[1:33:00]As you know, I don't ever call technical fouls, Which we commonly refer to as ease. Hey, sucker, did you just try to call time out at the end of a national championship Basketball game when you don't have one? That's a low T at you. I can debut to heaven. Got to mess with you now. Take that, Chris Weber. Matt, rolling well, tongue rolling bone and rolling groan. What do you think? Or do I do that? Nope, you didn't. Yes, let's do that. 2003, Rolling Stone had this in its 500 greatest albums of all time at 206. In 2012, it had it on their 500 greatest albums of all times at 208. And now in the latest re-do of it in 2020, they had it at 205. They've had it right here in this nice little tight window. I feel like there's so many albums from 68, 69, 70, 71. When you look at like how many are on the list from that time,
[1:34:00]A few of these are going to drop down, that should be higher, But they're going to just naturally drop down to somewhere like this, the low 200. So I'm kind of with John, maybe should be in the hundreds, But I'm just going to say he's rolling well toned right here at 205. Well, think about it like this. Let's talk about his contemporaries on the list, right? Jim Croci, I don't even know if he had an album good enough to be on the list. I think he's got the greatest hits. James Taylor ahead of on the list, probably deservedly so, right? Maybe not on the album, but on the overall body of work by James Taylor. Van Morrison, I think definitely should have two albums above him on this list. Simon and Garfunkel. Yep. I think we've had what, one ahead? If Simon Garfunkel already is two. Well, we had Paul Simon too. Paul Simon, yeah, there you go. So Paul Simon, same thing. Now, unfortunately you guys are incorrect. Shit. I hate to say that to you. This gets a rolling sequel album. I didn't mention to you that in 2020,
[1:35:00]Not only were some guys starting a podcast, which turned out to actually be a great idea. It hasn't backfired terribly, and we think about that all the time. He did a sequel. Kat Stevens actually did a sequel called Tea for the Tillerman 2, Which you got to respect. You've got to respect that title. Where he redid all the songs and on father and son, He is actually, he recorded father and son with himself from 20 years earlier. He recorded all the songs on the album and put it out as Tea for the Tillerman 2, Which is brilliant. This is not time to make a change. So this is now Kat Stevens in 2020. Take it easy, you're still young, that's your fault. Listen, a lot of us got bored for during COVID. Some of us started a podcast. Some of us re-recorded an album from 50 years before.
[1:36:00]It happens. Oh, it sounds good though. It's hard for me to think about anything else than the song on and son. But I'm happy. So how do you think about anything else, Sucka? We want a moment of sincerity on the podcast. Sincere what, Sucka? Sincere low T when I'm around. You know I'm low, Mr. T. Now we can think about words that end with T. Yeah, I got a problem in my house. Hey, I'm bored of the radio. I want to see pictures with my sound. What can I watch? TV. I got low TV. It turns off every five minutes. It doesn't have enough energy, Sucka.
[1:37:00]He did an album. He sang with his younger self. I'm going to do that with the show where I play the show. Like, I'm going to play the show with myself 50 years from now and just talk over it. We have that on the back. Did a better bingo card. Whoever's got that, put a big X on it. It'll just be me being like, oh, that was a good one. I like that. Hey, low T bit. Remember this? We're going to have to fill in Russell on low, Mr. T. He might not understand this bit. He would have been weighing on it. I think so. So he would have been right in his wheelhouse. He loves this stuff. Too short. A little too short. A could extend it a little bit, but I think everybody, big fan. We're going to see a lot of Mr. Low T. Emails come in. It's our T-shirt. It's our biggest T-shirt. Probably sell way more T-shirts of the low T shirt. Low Mr. T. Low Mr. T. There you go. Low emails. That doesn't work. Doesn't start with T. Suck up. This email cuts off like a fourth of the way through.
[1:38:00]Yeah, I've got a low email. Well, mail. Low T mail. Okay. Now wait a minute. Now I'm thinking about something. Inbox zero unread. No, a thousand unread. Wow. That's a lotty mail. There's a low T mail. There's something there. Goddamn, there's something there. I'm going into the lab. We're going to have to re-record this episode. Listen, next up. You love David Bowie albums, But you hate those pesky songs That people actually know. And we got the perfect album for you. It's Low by David Bowie. I love the idea that John comes on every episode and he's like,
[1:39:00]This was one I can share with my friends. And then as it goes on, he's like, I don't know. Still waiting for that one. Hey, can I say something? I forgot to do my Aaron joke. So I'm going to do my Aaron joke now And I'm going to copy it later. Okay. We've got Aaron out in California. Now Aaron recently told me something I didn't know. And that is if you press your taint in your temple At the same time, you'll take a screenshot of yourself. That's crazy. Sucka, you listen to me, Aaron? Yeah, I'm listening. I want to play baseball. But the thing is I can't hit it when somebody pitches sucka. You already tell this joke. Did I? Yeah. When? [100:01] Do some work off the low T. [100:05] It's different though with low t-ball. [100:08] I hit the ball and I could barely run to first base. [100:10] I'd account if I got some stuff wrong with me. [100:13] Number one, find myself in a depressed mood. [100:17] Number two, I have difficulties with concentration and memory. [100:21] Number three, Mr. Low T does have increased body fat. [100:26] Number four, Mr. Low T does have enlarged male breast tissue,
[1:40:00]otherwise known as Canomastia. [100:32] Number five, I've decreased muscle strength and mass. [100:37] Number six, I've a decreased in endurance. [100:40] Those are all the things that affect me. [100:42] Mr. Low T, when I'm playing Mr. Low T, ball. [100:47] Yeah, I landed it. [100:49] Landed that plane.
