Joy Division: Unknown Pleasures (1979)
[00:00]In 2020, four friends decided to listen to every one of the greatest 500 albums as decided by Rolling Stone magazine.
[00:05]This resulted in a text chain that celebrated the music, excoriated the order, and led us to making this podcast.
[00:10]We are far from experts.
[00:11]We promise to do almost no research.
[00:13]All opinions are our own, unless you disagree.
[00:15]Please sit back and enjoy.
[00:17]Beck did it better.
[00:19]We are all the way up to album, dang it, 211.
[00:27]And from 1979, we have your favorite depressing band's favorite depressing band.
[00:32]It's Joy Division with Unknown Pleasure.
[00:35]Okay?
[00:36]And you know what?
[00:37]Shoe gazers gazed at their own shoes.
[00:38]Really, it's incredible when you hear this album and you're like, oh, this is like every album we didn't know before we listened.
[00:46]And you hear that Portishead guy?
[00:48]We're doing the best we can.
[00:50]Okay?
[00:51]We are.
[00:52]Portishead review guy, like two stars.
[00:54]Unlistenable drivel.
[00:55]I've seen the Joy Division t-shirt way more.
[00:57]And I've heard the Joy Division.
[00:58]Exactly.
[00:59]Yeah.
[00:59]With a little radar thing.
[01:00]Now, I have this t-shirt.
[01:01]I have to tell you guys.
[01:02]Well, you know what?
[01:03]First, let's get into directions.
[01:03]I don't have a parody song.
[01:05]I listened to this album and I was like, I don't even know where to begin.
[01:07]Oh, Russell was just on here beforehand saying that's fine.
[01:10]Good dog.
[01:11]He's burning me now.
[01:12]Hey, let's go to South Africa for another seven weeks.
[01:16]I have no parody songs when I come back.
[01:18]That's it's I could not.
[01:20]I was like, I can't even think of how to do a parody song of this album.
[01:22]So we don't have one.
[01:23]So let's get right to the introduction.
[01:24]I got three guys.
[01:25]You can squat like 800 meters.
[01:27]I'm 22 pounds, but you can't write a parody song for Joy Division.
[01:30]Get the fuck.
[01:31]Get the fuck out of here.
[01:32]What are we even doing?
[01:34]The songs were so short and so long at the same time.
[01:37]It didn't make any sense to me.
[01:38]Very slow.
[01:38]The beats per minute on this thing.
[01:40]It's really like, I don't know.
[01:42]Like, oh, it was supposed to listen to a lot of Carole King.
[01:44]Well, it's well, don't.
[01:46]Okay.
[01:46]Don't get me started on this yet.
[01:48]Aaron is too slow for me in general.
[01:50]We have to do the introductions.
[01:51]I've got three guys.
[01:52]You're the main host.
[01:53]Do the intros.
[01:54]Don't let me stop you.
[01:55]I've got.
[01:57]Three guys here who are my known pleasures.
[02:03]I've got Russell in Minneapolis.
[02:06]Russell, how are you doing?
[02:07]I've tried to express myself in different ways, but I've lost control again.
[02:13]Wow.
[02:13]Exactly.
[02:14]I've got Matt in Minneapolis.
[02:15]Matt, how are you doing?
[02:16]Good, Rob.
[02:18]People come.
[02:19]People go.
[02:20]Some grow young.
[02:21]Some grow old.
[02:22]That's enough to make you think for all night.
[02:25]Some are growers in that show.
[02:27]I bet in 1830, you just had to order regular soldier's sow's chicken.
[02:32]You couldn't get the general?
[02:36]It's pronounced sow?
[02:37]No.
[02:38]Okay.
[02:39]Well, ignore that part.
[02:40]I didn't know.
[02:42]He didn't become a general until after 1830, Russell.
[02:44]I had to do a little deep dive for that.
[02:46]And it paid off with huge laughs.
[02:49]Wow.
[02:49]Probably the microphone's cut.
[02:51]You couldn't even hear the huge laughs.
[02:52]They're so big.
[02:52]I've got Aaron out in California.
[02:54]Aaron, how are you doing?
[02:55]Did I?
[02:56]Did I listen to it?
[02:57]I listened to an entire Joy Division album yesterday and not hear Love Will Tear Us Apart.
[03:03]I'm so confused.
[03:04]I don't know any lyrics from this album because I was just waiting for Love Will Tear Us Apart.
[03:08]Let's talk about Joy Division.
[03:12]Aaron, is General Sow's Chicken, is that your favorite Chinese order?
[03:17]What are you getting when you're at a real, like in New York?
[03:20]I know when I go in and a 12-year-old kid is taking my order, the food's going to be banging.
[03:24]Okay.
[03:25]What is your order at a Chinese place like that?
[03:28]We were just talking about this tonight because we cleaned out the freezer and I made freezer-burned dumplings for the family for dinner, so I'm really proud of myself.
[03:36]I have to go hang out in the corner for a little bit.
[03:37]Jesus Christ.
[03:38]Intense.
[03:39]Freezer-burned dumplings?
[03:40]I don't get what's going on at your house.
[03:42]I don't know.
[03:43]No, they were just like frozen dumplings that had been in the freezer too long, and it was like, well, we better eat these up, you know?
[03:48]Because I was trying to make some tinga at the same time for a friend of mine who's having a birthday tomorrow, and the tinga is not turning out great.
[03:54]I was doing too many things.
[03:55]To answer your question.
[03:57]And Aaron, we know what tinga is, okay?
[03:59]We don't have to have that explained to us.
[04:01]Russell, can you explain to us real quick what tinga is?
[04:03]I know.
[04:03]I'm just trying to figure out how I can cure this freezer burn I've got.
[04:06]I feel a tingle in my bingo.
[04:09]Aaron, what is, Matt, do you know what tinga is?
[04:11]No idea.
[04:12]You guys have had it.
[04:13]Chicken tinga is a-
[04:15]We've talked about it like three times on this podcast.
[04:17]I have no idea.
[04:18]I'm sure we have.
[04:18]Chicken tinga.
[04:19]It's a braised chicken in a tomato or not even like a chili-based broth.
[04:25]It's not a big-
[04:25]Can you Google tinga?
[04:26]Yeah.
[04:27]It's just-
[04:27]Yeah.
[04:27]See what episode we talked about it on.
[04:28]This is like duck confit.
[04:31]Like, if you see duck confit on the menu, you get all excited.
[04:34]You realize it's just like a slow way of cooking duck.
[04:36]It's like, there's nothing impressive about it or anything like that.
[04:40]He's just using it.
[04:41]It's like just a word.
[04:43]Let's just move it along.
[04:44]I always thought it was Spanish for you just eat duck's feet.
[04:47]You know what I mean?
[04:48]Cone feet.
[04:48]Speaking of which, Aaron, I bet that's his favorite kind of duck prepared is cone feet.
[04:52]I've never had duck feet.
[04:53]I'd give them a try.
[04:54]Oh, no.
[04:55]They're so webby here.
[04:56]They're the worst part.
[04:57]They're the worst part of the duck.
[04:58]I would say second worst after the beak or bill.
[05:01]They don't have a beak.
[05:01]I would always order some dumplings.
[05:03]And there's a place in downtown Oakland.
[05:05]I don't even know if it's still open called Shandong that had sesame paste noodles, which
[05:10]were hand-pulled noodles with sesame paste.
[05:12]Those would be my go-to, but they don't have those everywhere.
[05:14]You guys know my thoughts on hand-pulled noodles.
[05:16]Love them.
[05:16]Put them all over my pants.
[05:18]Matt, what's your go-to Chinese order?
[05:19]I cannot take Chinese food anymore.
[05:23]I used to eat Eddie Chang's in Richfield over by.
[05:25]Russell probably knows where it is.
[05:27]Yeah, I do.
[05:27]I used to get that all the time.
[05:28]And it's like ice cream now.
[05:30]It just messes with my tummy.
[05:32]I can't take it anymore.
[05:33]I just can't do it.
[05:35]So I've moved on to Thai food.
[05:37]Very different.
[05:39]Very, very, very different.
[05:41]So I usually get the pineapple fried rice.
[05:44]What's the Chinese place that has the chain in the cities with the woman's name?
[05:48]What is that place?
[05:49]They've got the lemon chicken.
[05:51]That's so good.
[05:52]Damn it.
[05:53]You can pull it, Rob.
[05:55]You can get it.
[05:57]Chinese place in the cities.
[05:58]Maybe it's not a woman's name.
[05:59]Leanne Chin's.
[06:00]Leanne Chin's.
[06:01]Leanne Chin's.
[06:02]Matt's got it.
[06:02]Matt was letting you twist in the wind there.
[06:04]Matt had it the whole way.
[06:05]Made me so sick last time we ate there.
[06:08]Like five years ago, we all barfed our brains out.
[06:11]We have not been back from Leanne Chin's.
[06:12]Hold on, though.
[06:13]Hold on.
[06:14]Hold on.
[06:14]What's that?
[06:15]Is this because you had like a bunch of buffalo wigs at the airport beforehand?
[06:19]Or was this related to the food you had?
[06:22]I assume it's the food we had because we all got sick.
[06:24]It was like an instantaneous, like all got sick.
[06:26]And it's one of those.
[06:27]It's where we used to love stopping and getting it.
[06:29]And now we just can't anymore.
[06:31]It's just we got too sick on that stuff.
[06:32]I don't know.
[06:33]I don't.
[06:33]I do have.
[06:34]I get the brown rice.
[06:35]I get bourbon, the bourbon chicken.
[06:37]And then I think it's the guy.
[06:38]There's another one.
[06:39]The bourbon chicken is good.
[06:40]I like that.
[06:41]Yeah.
[06:41]But I got my brother from Duluth.
[06:43]Every time he comes down, he's got to get Leanne Chin's.
[06:46]Rob, I was.
[06:47]I'm a look for the local listeners.
[06:49]I'm an Anna Chung and Egan guy.
[06:51]Sweet and sour chicken, sesame beef and some cream cheese puffs.
[06:55]Oh, that's.
[06:57]Order thing.
[06:57]Now, listen.
[06:58]Hey, we don't have time for this.
[07:00]We need to get right to our voicemail.
[07:03]We're going to do the parody on the back line.
[07:13]Oh, God damn it.
[07:14]Russ.
[07:14]Russ.
[07:15]It was a banger.
[07:17]It was a banger.
[07:18]Everybody Wang Chung tonight.
[07:22]I could not make a joke out of it.
[07:23]So I'm just singing it now.
[07:24]Guys.
[07:25]First time Bexter.
[07:27]Long time listener.
[07:28]This is Mr.
[07:30]Moses, a.k.a.
[07:32]Dumbass listener, a.k.a.
[07:33]Father of the Year.
[07:34]I'm responding on behalf of little Moses, my 12 year old son, who was spotted at Metallica
[07:41]by another dumbass listener while he was rocking his Beck did it better T-shirt.
[07:47]So this is about little Moses.
[07:48]Little Moses is hopefully our youngest listener at 12 years old.
[07:53]He is a constant listener.
[07:54]Yeah.
[07:54]Okay.
[07:55]Amazing.
[07:55]I.
[07:56]I.
[07:57]I'm hoping a lot of stuff goes over his head.
[07:59]Okay.
[07:59]Because if he's asking his dad questions on Valentine's Day, listen, we got problems.
[08:03]Can I just clear, can I just clear this all up for him?
[08:06]Because my mother-in-law, Patty, sorry tonight.
[08:08]She wanted me to tell you, Rob, you got to stop talking about your penis so much.
[08:12]Oh, here we go.
[08:12]So for little Moses, whenever he talks about, whenever he talks about gray balls, he's talking
[08:18]about testicles.
[08:19]Whenever he talks about crying, he's talking about his penis.
[08:21]Okay.
[08:22]Rob's talking about his penis.
[08:24]I cannot imagine the birds of the bees conversation with Matt.
[08:27]This is too much.
[08:27]He's talking about a bird's nest.
[08:28]That just means that he's got a lot of pubic hair down there.
[08:30]Oh God, I can't handle this, Matt.
[08:32]I can't handle this dad discussion with him on this stuff.
[08:35]I think we're doing a public service.
[08:36]I think we're doing a public service.
[08:38]Mr.
[08:38]Mr.
[08:38]Moses doesn't have to have the talk.
[08:40]The birds.
[08:40]We're taking care of it for him.
[08:41]The birds.
[08:42]Rob's taking it for him.
[08:43]The birds of the bees, Beck did it better style.
[08:45]Okay.
[08:46]Okay.
[08:47]Remember when Rob said 69 is one long tube?
[08:49]Okay.
[08:50]Here's why that's wrong.
[08:51]I'm going to get up some diagrams right now.
[08:52]The worst.
[08:54]All right.
[08:54]Let's get back to the voicemail.
[08:55]To answer your question, he'd love to meet the rest of the crew at some point, maybe
[09:01]lunch at Rick's or something.
[09:02]I'm currently on my way to soul coughing and don't worry, I'll be representing the pod.
[09:08]Yeah.
[09:09]Is he seriously going to a soul coughing concert?
[09:13]Is he like, this is a while ago, but yeah, he wasn't.
[09:15]He was wearing the Beck did a better shirt.
[09:16]Walk around in circles.
[09:18]I think they're coming to first half.
[09:20]I think, man, I'd go.
[09:21]So you say this was his son who, who I was at the same.
[09:25]Metallica concert.
[09:26]One of our other listeners spotted this kid wearing the shirt.
[09:30]Send us a picture.
[09:31]We talked about what he wanted to meet.
[09:33]Russ, the hero, like the funniest guy on the podcast.
[09:37]What do you want to be in person?
[09:39]Wow.
[09:40]And he says, yes.
[09:41]Yeah.
[09:42]Tell us about it.
[09:43]He'd be like, what was that story that got censored last week?
[09:46]Tell me about that story.
[09:47]I 100% know this listener and he does not.
[09:51]He wouldn't know who I am at all, but I, was he a year ahead of us at St.
[09:54]Olaf?
[09:54]No, you're guys.
[09:55]It's the same.
[09:56]Really?
[09:56]He was like an intimidatingly cool guy.
[09:58]Like he was like, this was two years old.
[10:00]No, no, no.
[10:01]There you go.
[10:02]I mean, right.
[10:03]So like this guy was like, I knew who he was for sure.
[10:05]And there was no way he knew who I was.
[10:07]He was like, it was like him, Steve, you know, he was like, this is a complex thing.
[10:13]Aaron, I, if I were to rank you guys on the cool scale, I would put you even like there's,
[10:18]there's not a, there's not a significant difference here.
[10:21]I appreciate that.
[10:22]Cause in my mind, he was like off the charts.
[10:24]No, no, no.
[10:25]Can I just say to the caller, I apologize for Russ saying that you're even with Aaron.
[10:28]Okay.
[10:29]That we can't be saying something like this.
[10:32]We, I'm too mean to the fans.
[10:33]Aaron, like got a music scholarship.
[10:35]He was probably the coolest guy there.
[10:37]Wow.
[10:38]That's really, that's very kind of you.
[10:39]He's the coolest guy there.
[10:41]Man, I'm so, I'm so glad we were recording tonight.
[10:42]Didn't Mr. Moses, wasn't he, wasn't he a soccer player?
[10:44]Am I remembering that?
[10:45]Yeah, I think he was, right?
[10:46]He was at the goal of the soccer team.
[10:47]Yeah.
[10:47]He also went, like he went bald like before me.
[10:49]For the record, soccer goalie, way cooler than any of those clowns that got music scholarships.
[10:53]Let me just tell you.
[10:55]At the time, Aaron, Aaron is probably the only person on that campus that could tell
[10:59]you what a glissando was and say who won like the 98 World Series.
[11:02]He's probably the only person.
[11:04]That's true.
[11:06]In Florida?
[11:06]Was it Florida or was that 97?
[11:08]That was the Yankees.
[11:09]98, the Yankees beat the Padres.
[11:10]Oh my God.
[11:11]Was it 97 in Florida?
[11:13]Am I remembering that right?
[11:14]You know what?
[11:16]Yeah, it is cool.
[11:17]What I just heard was so cool.
[11:19]I could be wrong, but.
[11:20]Aaron was like the Liz Cheney of St.
[11:25]Louis back then.
[11:25]Did she ever come speak in St.
[11:29]Louis?
[11:29]She might have come to speak when we were there.
[11:31]I got my, I got my parliament concert mixed up with when Newt Gingrich was there speaking.
[11:37]It was wrong.
[11:38]It was, they said, don't get back on his bus with him.
[11:41]I did.
[11:42]Listen, 97, Florida Marlins, 98, New York Yankees.
[11:47]There we go.
[11:47]You can tell your wife about your Joe Manchin comparison at St.
[11:51]Louis and see what she thinks of that.
[11:52]I tried to show her my Joe Manchin.
[11:54]I don't know Joe Manchin all the time, but she's like, no, it's a no.
[11:57]It's more like a Joe Rambler.
[11:59]So here's the thing, Matt, what was I talking about there?
[12:02]A tutor.
[12:03]It was like a Joe tutor.
[12:05]Joe tutor.
[12:06]Hey kid, Matt's there talking about his penis again.
[12:08]Okay.
[12:08]So we're going to have a little, we're going to have a little kid DVD commentary just in
[12:12]case a 12 year old's listening to, they need to hear what the stuff is about.
[12:15]Yeah.
[12:16]Now, Russell, unfortunately you are wrong.
[12:19]Aaron is not cooler than this guy just by the fact that he was dating somebody two years
[12:23]older in college.
[12:24]Now, Russell, of course, two years older to Russell is like amateur hour.
[12:28]That's nothing.
[12:28]But can you imagine?
[12:30]You know who else dated somebody one year older?
[12:33]Who's that?
[12:33]It was John from Edina, his wife.
[12:35]Wow.
[12:36]John's way cooler than all of us.
[12:38]He's cooler.
[12:39]I could not imagine being a freshman dating a junior in college.
[12:42]Oh my God.
[12:43]If you told me that was a possibility, I would have jizzed in my jeans.
[12:46]Hold on.
[12:47]Hold on, guys.
[12:48]Thursday, homie, jizzing in my jeans.
[12:49]Rob, hold on.
[12:50]Can we take your headphones for like three months?
[12:52]I was like, can we edit something out here?
[12:53]Can we?
[12:54]What's that?
[12:54]Go ahead, man.
[12:55]Can you take your headphones off, Rob?
[12:57]Eric, don't ask him to do the edited outfit because trust me, it doesn't work.
[13:00]How many fucking times do I have to tell him it was only a year older?
[13:02]A year older than you guys.
[13:03]Two years older than me.
[13:04]Is he listening to us?
[13:06]No, not at all.
[13:06]No, one bit.
[13:07]One year older than you guys.
[13:08]Two years older than me.
[13:09]John's wife, one year.
[13:12]Mr. Moses, one year.
[13:14]All right, Rob, come on back.
[13:15]Stepping up either way.
[13:16]I mean, you're a sophomore dating a senior?
[13:18]Damn.
[13:19]Damn, that would be hot.
[13:20]Damn.
[13:21]Anyway, I just think there is something about dating a
[13:24]year up, right?
[13:25]That was always like, like I had a high school friend who would just date like older women
[13:29]and I was like, I would be so intimidated.
[13:31]Like they know what they're doing with their makeup.
[13:33]They're all had those Playboy Bunny tanning salon things.
[13:37]Rob, I actually went up about 17 classes when I updated that Timberwolves dance team member.
[13:45]Only 17?
[13:49]Yeah.
[13:49]She was like from the Eisenhower administration.
[13:54]Oh my God.
[13:55]Okay.
[13:55]You know what?
[13:56]Let's get right.
[13:57]Where do we even go from there?
[14:00]The Eisenhower administration?
[14:01]Possibly.
[14:02]That punchline.
[14:04]It's time to see what everybody does.
[14:05]Hey guys, if you had Eisenhower administration as a punchline on your back to the back or
[14:09]bingo card.
[14:10]That's a bingo.
[14:10]Fill that in.
[14:12]We'll double check it.
[14:13]Oh.
[14:13]Now, Russell, honestly, when you went on that walking date, I know we joke about it, but
[14:19]I'm curious when you met her.
[14:22]Bring it.
[14:24]Is it, can you ask somebody how old they are on a date?
[14:26]Is that rude?
[14:28]Or is that on the.
[14:29]We talked about, if you would listen to our podcast, we talked about when the blackjack
[14:33]dealer asked me that a week ago.
[14:34]That's not something you ask someone.
[14:35]Yeah, but the blackjack dealer isn't trying to drink hot chocolate and finger you later.
[14:40]You know what I mean?
[14:41]Like what?
[14:43]What?
[14:43]Hey Rob, do you, hey Rob, for the 12 year olds, could you describe to me what was that
[14:49]act that you were just talking about?
[14:54]How could you repurpose that statement?
[14:55]Listen, okay.
[14:57]I, what do you, is it on the dating app that, that they are that old?
[15:00]Like how old did you, or did you like when you meet somebody in your dating seriously
[15:04]and they're that old, do you say like.
[15:05]It may have been a little lazy fair when it came to those apps and let, why didn't, why
[15:09]didn't the applicable range of what was an acceptable swipe for a while.
[15:14]Oh, you're like, well, listen, this net is not catching very many fish.
[15:21]We need to make this net bigger.
[15:23]Then you started.
[15:23]Catching those weird looking fish from the bottom of the ocean.
[15:26]You're like, well, okay, we might need to make this net a little smaller.
[15:28]Like the Simpsons, the Blinky, the three-eyed fish.
[15:30]Yeah, exactly.
[15:31]What am I going to do?
[15:32]You got to, you got to play the game.
[15:34]Listen.
[15:35]Okay.
[15:36]Let's get right into rolling going.
[15:37]Now, Aaron, rolling going.
[15:39]How's it going with you?
[15:39]It's going great.
[15:41]I took a trip to Iowa last weekend, right?
[15:43]Tonight, Saturday.
[15:44]Nice.
[15:44]A week ago, a week ago tonight.
[15:46]A flight.
[15:47]I was sitting, well, I took a flight.
[15:49]Of course, I took a flight.
[15:50]Wow.
[15:51]To Des Moines.
[15:52]All right.
[15:53]Wow.
[15:54]And I had.
[15:54]They got an airport in Des Moines?
[15:56]They got an airport.
[15:56]I went through Las Vegas on the way out.
[15:58]Phoenix on the way back.
[16:00]Did you gamble in the airport?
[16:03]I did not.
[16:03]No, I did not.
[16:04]It's all slots.
[16:05]Is there any blackjack in the airport?
[16:07]We did talk about this a week ago, how I have a colleague who won three grand.
[16:12]Wait, what happened?
[16:13]What happened a week ago?
[16:14]Vegas, Vegas slot machine.
[16:16]Oh, hey, did we?
[16:17]I guess we didn't tell Matt that we did it.
[16:18]Hey, baby.
[16:20]Nobody picked up the phones.
[16:21]I decided to just start talking, baby.
[16:23]I'm trying to figure out what happened a week ago.
[16:26]I don't know what you guys are talking about.
[16:27]I wanted to see how your flight to Iowa went, Aaron.
[16:31]My flight went great.
[16:33]Well, it was actually a little awkward because.
[16:35]Oh, baby.
[16:37]Somebody woke up here.
[16:38]I got to go.
[16:38]Goodbye, baby.
[16:39]What?
[16:40]I know.
[16:42]I'm sorry.
[16:42]I won't be so loud.
[16:43]I will talk at this volume.
[16:47]I will talk at this volume.
[16:49]Just turn on the slot machine.
[16:50]Turn on the Miami slot machine.
[16:53]You cannot say Miami slot machine when I'm getting yelled at by my wife.
[17:03]That feels like it's out of bounds.
[17:05]That's like six to midnight, right?
[17:08]You're getting yelled at by your wife.
[17:10]You're talking.
[17:10]And you're talking about the Miami slot machine.
[17:12]My wife.
[17:13]Can we drop in the, can we get the, my wife.
[17:15]Rock hard direction right there.
[17:16]Okay, let's just, you know what?
[17:19]It's fine.
[17:19]Let's just chill out.
[17:20]Let's just talk wily.
[17:21]Okay.
[17:22]And let's just see what's going on.
[17:23]We're flying to Des Moines.
[17:24]What happens when you get to Iowa?
[17:25]Well, a couple of things.
[17:27]Ironically, last week, Rob made fun of me for looking on Twitter for weather.
[17:31]And then there was a fire in Oakland while I was in the, on the plane on the way from
[17:37]Las Vegas to Des Moines.
[17:38]There was a fire.
[17:39]Only it was like eight miles from my house.
[17:41]It was fine.
[17:41]Oh my God.
[17:42]It was fine.
[17:43]It turned out like shout out, like, listen, absolute shout out to the Oakland fire department.
[17:48]They knocked that thing down.
[17:49]Big props, big ups.
[17:50]Landed in Des Moines.
[17:52]My brother picked me up.
[17:53]He picked me up at the airport.
[17:54]We went straight to Confluence Brewing in Des Moines.
[17:58]I had a blue corn lager.
[18:00]It was delicious.
[18:01]And then we went straight to Ankeny High School and watched the Ankeny Hawks defeat the West
[18:06]Des Moines Valley Tigers in overtime.
[18:08]So that was pretty marvelous.
[18:10]Did you wear your letter jacket?
[18:11]Yes, please.
[18:12]I don't know where my letter jacket is, man.
[18:14]I would have absolutely.
[18:15]It turned out, I think it actually was homecoming, but I didn't see.
[18:19]You probably left it at that homeschooled girl's house, right?
[18:22]Remember when you gave it at home?
[18:23]Homeschooled girl?
[18:24]She was not homeschooled once I met her, but she did homeschool before that.
[18:29]That's where I got this letter where one hand's making the O and the other hand's pointing at it.
[18:33]They don't make those letters anymore.
[18:35]Way to marvelous time.
[18:37]My brother and my sister and I, my sister, who's a real person, went to the Ankeny Hawks game.
[18:41]It got really cold once they hit overtime, so I had to have a second hot chocolate.
[18:45]So I did two ho-chos at the game.
[18:46]It was pretty nice.
[18:47]Aaron, did you do the game just you, your brother and sister, just siblings only, or was the whole crew there?
[18:53]Siblings only.
[18:54]No, we did the siblings only.
[18:55]You don't get to do that very often, do you?
[18:58]No, it was very cool.
[18:59]Yeah, and like, it was cool, and we ended up just kind of standing around like at the end zone and watching,
[19:04]but then the Hawks went to overtime, and it was very fun, so that was pretty rad.
[19:09]And then Saturday.
[19:11]Did you recognize anyone at the school from when you went?
[19:14]I recognized Shane Vanami, and I do kind of feel bad because I didn't say hi to Shane,
[19:19]and he was on his way out as I was on my way in, and Shane was the only,
[19:23]one of the only juniors on my, when I was a senior,
[19:27]he was one of the only juniors who contributed to our state championship,
[19:30]so shout out to Shane for being a state champ, and I should have, I should have hit him up.
[19:33]He's probably talking on his podcast how he stole Aaron's girlfriend at the prom,
[19:38]who was a year older than him.
[19:40]That was Sean Hammersley.
[19:41]Sean was not a football player.
[19:43]He was an 800-meter runner.
[19:44]He's probably like, oh, I saw this guy on the football team who didn't get a fumble in the championship game.
[19:48]That's all we talk about on this podcast.
[19:49]God, it's out there on YouTube.
[19:50]He was right.
[19:51]He was right.
[19:52]I was in there.
[19:53]I was right.
[19:53]I was right there, and then Saturday, I had a nice brunch at my mom's.
[19:57]I took her pup Angus for a walk, and then Saturday night, I was at Jack Trice Stadium to watch the Cyclones.
[20:04]Iowa State football.
[20:05]Iowa State football.
[20:06]I went to this game because it was like good timing, middle of October.
[20:11]The vibe should have been good.
[20:12]The Cyclones were favored by 13 and a half.
[20:15]I just wanted to go to a game with my family and enjoy it.
[20:18]I wanted to chill.
[20:19]I wanted them to win by three touchdowns and enjoy it.
[20:22]No.
[20:23]That is not what happened.
[20:24]This thing was a nail-biter down to the minute.
[20:26]The Cyclones got the ball with under two minutes to go and had to try to score to win.
[20:31]It was stressful.
[20:32]What's this song you're playing, Rob?
[20:35]I think we're going to fight, fight, fight for Iowa is generally the way it goes here.
[20:39]And then I also got to say, but the Cyclones came back and won.
[20:42]It was magical.
[20:43]It was easily the best Cyclone finish I have seen in my life, so that was marvelous.
[20:47]And so the Cyclones game, is this siblings and dad, or who's that?
[20:51]Siblings and dad, yeah.
[20:52]Siblings and dad.
[20:53]So, brother, sister, and dad, we were at the Cyclone game.
[20:56]We did some tailgating.
[20:57]This is so cool.
[20:58]Yeah, it was fantastic.
[21:00]Aaron, the fans want to know, what did you get to eat at the Cyclones game?
[21:03]Oh, you know I got a walking taco.
[21:05]But here's what happened with the walking tacos.
[21:07]I went to get a walking taco at half.
[21:09]So actually, no, I got to give, I got to, I got to give it a shout because.
[21:12]Aaron, what number were you in high school?
[21:13]52.
[21:14]52, okay.
[21:15]I got to give a shout because we went to Ames.
[21:18]The game was a 6.30 p.m. game.
[21:20]My sister went at like 10.30 a.m. because she's a.
[21:23]She's a hardcore tailgater.
[21:24]My dad and my brother and me got there at like 4 p.m.
[21:27]My brother hooked up a good tailgate.
[21:28]He brought some Ruthie lagers from Exile Brewing in Des Moines.
[21:32]Some Mikkel Lights.
[21:34]Is that with an F or with a T?
[21:35]Ruthie.
[21:36]Ruthie.
[21:37]Ruthie was a.
[21:37]Okay.
[21:38]Ruthie was a famous waitress in Des Moines.
[21:44]Oh, yeah.
[21:45]Oh, yeah.
[21:45]Let's hear about it.
[21:46]Yeah, famously, she could carry beers on top of her bosom.
[21:50]So that was.
[21:51]Oh, my God.
[21:52]She's a mythical figure.
[21:53]But she's a real person.
[21:54]That's like a chicken coop lady for some people in the South State ball area that we know.
[21:59]It truly is, though.
[22:00]It's like the unicorn, Bigfoot, the woman who could carry beer in her breasts.
[22:04]That was Ruthie.
[22:05]All of our mythical figures.
[22:07]My brother brought some Jimmy Johns in.
[22:09]So I had a Jimmy Johns.
[22:10]Did you guys tailgate before the game?
[22:12]We did tailgate, which is not tradition in my family.
[22:15]Usually we go like get there like an hour before the game and go straight in and watch warm ups.
[22:18]But did a little tailgating.
[22:20]I took a fireball shot.
[22:21]But here's what happened.
[22:22]Somebody offered me.
[22:23]Somebody offered me a jello shot, but I thought I might be driving home.
[22:26]So I declined the jello shot.
[22:28]And then my brother ended up driving home and I should have taken the jello shot.
[22:31]You know what?
[22:32]You should always take the jello shot.
[22:33]I think jello shots are terrible.
[22:35]And this is coming from someone like I will.
[22:37]I will try anything.
[22:38]If someone gives me a shot, I'm in for it.
[22:42]There's something about a jello shot.
[22:43]They're awkward.
[22:44]You just suck it down.
[22:45]It's never mixed right.
[22:48]I think jello shots are the worst.
[22:50]They are.
[22:51]But if someone offers you a free one, you should take it.
[22:52]You've got to go.
[22:53]But I know this is the most disgusting talk I've ever heard that you guys hate fun.
[22:58]It's alcohol combined with jello.
[23:01]Guys, you are looking at a guy who knows for a fact that he's going to get wrecked tomorrow.
[23:07]Tomorrow is the day where I hand out Halloween.
[23:09]I'd say I hand out candy.
[23:12]Yes, I get hammered every year doing this.
[23:14]I know I've cleared my schedule.
[23:16]I'm going to go to bed early.
[23:17]I'm all set.
[23:18]Yes, I would never.
[23:20]I don't think never would ever pass.
[23:23]I don't think I would ever say no to that.
[23:25]I don't care.
[23:26]It's one of my regrets.
[23:27]I could be driving my kid home from her wedding.
[23:30]I'd be like, well, better do a jello shot.
[23:32]Can't resist.
[23:33]Wait, if you're driving your kid home from her wedding, you've got bigger problems.
[23:36]No, they're never good.
[23:37]What if it was a 3-2-1 jello shot where it had the fuzzy layer?
[23:40]You guys don't know 3-2-1 jello.
[23:41]We've had this discussion before.
[23:43]What?
[23:43]3-2-1 jello.
[23:45]Can you get those at Walgreens?
[23:47]Because I'll put it on my list for tomorrow if you can.
[23:49]This was an old kind of jello you could get where it had the three layers.
[23:53]You guys don't remember this?
[23:54]No.
[23:55]3-2-1 jello.
[23:56]Now that I see it, I know what you're talking about.
[23:58]Now imagine that you have that and there's booze in it.
[24:01]That rules.
[24:02]Aaron, who's number 22?
[24:04]Is that a running back and also played maybe linebacker?
[24:07]22.
[24:08]20 would have been Adam Benj.
[24:11]Adam.
[24:13]22 looks like a good player.
[24:15]Maybe that's Adam Benj.
[24:17]Maybe Benj was 22.
[24:18]We officially lost Matt for the second week in a row.
[24:21]Are you watching the 1997 Hawks?
[24:23]The Hawks highlight video?
[24:24]It's the highlight one.
[24:25]Is your failed fumble attempt in the highlight?
[24:29]It's at the very end, yeah.
[24:30]Well, not the very end.
[24:31]It's like about 45 minutes in.
[24:33]Matt, send me a link.
[24:34]We're putting that up on Instagram.
[24:35]Yeah.
[24:36]That or Pornhub, one of the two, right, Rob?
[24:39]Yeah, Benj would have been 22.
[24:41]He ran for 1,000 yards at Northern Iowa.
[24:43]He just fumbled a punt, but he looks really good.
[24:48]Folks, tell us what you think about jello shots.
[24:49]Call 802-277-BECK.
[24:52]Oh.
[24:53]Russell, I'm with you.
[24:54]I'm with you, Matt.
[24:55]How old are you?
[24:56]How old are you, Russell?
[24:58]Whatever it is, you're too old to be taking jello shots.
[25:02]I'm out.
[25:02]You're right.
[25:02]I'm out.
[25:03]I'll do it.
[25:04]I just don't think they have any place in society.
[25:07]Wow.
[25:07]You guys hate fun.
[25:09]Benji, B-E-N-G-E?
[25:11]B-E-N-J-E.
[25:13]Yeah, B-E-N-G-E, yeah.
[25:14]Yeah, B-E-N-G-E.
[25:15]He just caught some, like, amazing pass.
[25:17]That was the one in the state title game.
[25:18]Yeah, 40 minutes in.
[25:20]The punt is coming up.
[25:21]Yeah.
[25:21]Yeah, because, like,
[25:23]you're repeating your comedy bit from the last few nights.
[25:25]Is this what they're doing right here?
[25:27]Mm-hmm.
[25:27]That was a great catch.
[25:29]After he fumbled, yeah, that was a great catch, yeah.
[25:31]Matt's on the case.
[25:34]Matt's gone.
[25:34]But I had a walking taco, which is,
[25:38]if you've ever seen one of these,
[25:39]it's they cut open the top of a bag of chips.
[25:41]Yep, Doritos, usually.
[25:43]Well, that's what happened was they were,
[25:45]by the time I went, they were out of Doritos.
[25:47]They ran out of Doritos.
[25:48]They were like, all we have are Fritos.
[25:49]But I was like, I was so.
[25:50]Oh, Fritos could work, right?
[25:52]Doritos are good.
[25:52]It worked fine.
[25:53]It worked fine.
[25:53]It worked great.
[25:53]But it was funny.
[25:55]I told my dad, like,
[25:56]I don't have, like, culture shock in Iowa very often.
[25:58]It's like, I grew up there.
[25:59]It's fine.
[26:00]Mm-hmm.
[26:00]But now I live out here, right?
[26:01]So it's a little different.
[26:02]So I go to get my walking taco,
[26:04]and I look at the board,
[26:06]and it, like, it says walking taco,
[26:08]and then it just says.
[26:09]No, no.
[26:09]Beans, olives, jalapenos, sour cream, lettuce, tomatoes.
[26:15]And I was like, is there no meat on the walking taco?
[26:17]Like, that's super weird.
[26:18]And then, of course, yes, it's Iowa.
[26:21]Like, taco just assumes there's meat.
[26:22]Oh, it's on a bag.
[26:23]If it's needed, yeah, it's automatic.
[26:24]It's automatic.
[26:25]Because I was like,
[26:25]do I have to order the meat special?
[26:27]Like, I don't understand.
[26:28]And then, like, it's in there.
[26:29]It's just the same.
[26:30]Can I get some of that beyond meat
[26:33]into this walking taco?
[26:34]Do you guys have the chicken tingas option for this one,
[26:38]or am I going to have to go with ground beef?
[26:41]Well, because the same stand had pulled pork nachos,
[26:44]but, like, so the pulled pork nachos were up there,
[26:46]and then the walking taco just says walking taco.
[26:48]And I was like, I don't want a vegetarian walking taco.
[26:51]You didn't ask the vendor if there was meat in it, though.
[26:53]I didn't.
[26:53]I just took it.
[26:54]No, I just took a gamble.
[26:55]I was like, I'm just going to go for it.
[26:56]Do you guys have a shaker of nooch anywhere?
[26:59]Yeah, nutritional yeast.
[27:01]You don't?
[27:02]Okay.
[27:02]But it was delicious.
[27:04]And then the last thing I'll say is I drove my mom's car around.
[27:07]My mom just bought a nice little 07 Corolla
[27:11]for, like, her get-around car,
[27:12]and it had a CD deck in there.
[27:15]Oh, nice.
[27:15]You know how much I love CDs.
[27:17]Like, I was so happy.
[27:18]But the problem was, like,
[27:20]I've told you what the CDs look like in my mom's basement.
[27:23]There's some good stuff down there.
[27:24]I was so stoked.
[27:26]I found Steely Dan Asia.
[27:27]I opened it up.
[27:28]The case was empty.
[27:29]Oh, no.
[27:31]An empty case?
[27:32]I don't know where it went.
[27:33]I don't know where it went.
[27:34]That happens so much with CDs, doesn't it?
[27:37]You open it up.
[27:38]So, I don't know where it went.
[27:40]So, I went with The Flaming Lips, The Soft Bulletin,
[27:43]and The Walkman, Bows and Arrows.
[27:46]Both delightful.
[27:47]Wow.
[27:48]I think I've taken up too much of your time.
[27:50]How's it rolling going with Russell?
[27:51]Rolling going.
[27:52]Things are going really well.
[27:53]Well, I actually, I had an adventure the other day.
[27:56]It was a record store adventure.
[27:58]Rob, hit the music.
[27:59]Yes.
[28:00]What?
[28:00]Record store adventure.
[28:02]Rob, hit the music.
[28:03]What is the...
[28:04]Is it this one?
[28:06]Don't we have a song for this?
[28:07]The record store?
[28:09]I don't think we do, do we?
[28:10]Yes, we do.
[28:12]Do we?
[28:12]What's it called?
[28:14]Maybe you're just going to do that one.
[28:15]You were just doing just the intro.
[28:16]I have no recollection.
[28:18]The one you clicked first.
[28:20]Is it this one?
[28:23]We'll go with this.
[28:25]Guys, Rosie's got hair at night school.
[28:27]Did you know that?
[28:28]Yeah.
[28:28]You had a beautiful hair.
[28:29]Are you watching the senior night?
[28:31]No.
[28:32]I watched it after the celebration.
[28:34]Aaron's hair was so good,
[28:35]my mom was appalled when he shaved his head.
[28:37]Like senior year.
[28:38]She was like, she was sad.
[28:40]Yeah, it was a sad moment for me too, man.
[28:43]Okay, there's only 10 minutes left.
[28:47]And when Aaron's at the airport
[28:50]He always goes into heat
[28:53]When people at security
[28:55]Show their feet
[28:57]Women's feet
[29:00]Women's feet
[29:02]Aaron thinks they need
[29:04]Matt, can you do a little explainer
[29:05]for our 12-year-old listener for this one, please?
[29:07]Aaron thinks she can come
[29:09]No, I really can't.
[29:10]I don't think no one likes me.
[29:12]No one knows.
[29:12]No one understands.
[29:13]This is implying that Aaron has a foot fondling issue,
[29:17]which is something that we all go through
[29:20]in our mid-teens and
[29:21]Oh, I get it.
[29:23]I've grown out of two things.
[29:26]Jello shots and my foot fondling issues.
[29:28]Congrats.
[29:30]I had the biggest record store purchase
[29:34]I've ever had in my life
[29:35]and it might have been by like double.
[29:37]Whoa.
[29:38]Oh my gosh.
[29:39]I went to two stores.
[29:40]All we care about is which album was the most perverted.
[29:43]Okay, I just want to tell you that's what I'm waiting for.
[29:45]I don't think so.
[29:46]I've got it coming, but I went to two stores.
[29:48]I'm going to break it down by where I went first.
[29:51]Matt, I don't know if you've been to this one.
[29:53]There's a...
[29:53]There's a...
[29:53]There's a new record store in Minneapolis
[29:54]called Lucky Cat Records off Lindale.
[29:56]It was an old record store that was there for a long time.
[30:00]It went away and some new owner, it just...
[30:02]There's been newspaper articles about it.
[30:03]It's a new record store.
[30:04]Wait, was it Orfolk...
[30:06]Was it Orfolk, Jocopus, and then Treehouse?
[30:08]It might have been.
[30:09]25th and Lindale, Aaron.
[30:11]I don't know if that...
[30:11]Yeah, right across from the CC.
[30:12]Yeah, yeah.
[30:12]Oh, yeah, Kitty Corner.
[30:14]Yep, Kitty Corner from...
[30:15]Sorry, I was watching a highlight film.
[30:16]Hit the Mavs music, please.
[30:18]I'm watching Aaron's highlight film as well.
[30:19]They just built that new apartment complex
[30:21]with the Aldi.
[30:21]Yes.
[30:23]The new apartment complex there now?
[30:24]Wow.
[30:24]Yeah, and an Aldi.
[30:25]You know, it's good to have a grocery store there
[30:28]because there's a little bit of a food desert,
[30:29]so it's good to have a grocery store.
[30:30]So I would call this record store
[30:32]a bit of an intimate store.
[30:34]It was very small compared to some of, like,
[30:36]the cheapo records or electric feed
[30:39]is some of the bigger ones in Minneapolis.
[30:40]You know, some people, though, Russell,
[30:41]like those smaller stores better, okay?
[30:44]Well, I think they do, Aaron.
[30:46]That was a hangout for Peter Jesperson, I think,
[30:49]who was a replacement sort of manager
[30:53]at some point.
[30:53]Aaron, it's interesting you say that.
[30:55]So I think the one thing,
[30:56]if I were to advise our listeners,
[30:59]local listeners, about record stores,
[31:00]that this place didn't have a ton of used records.
[31:03]They had some new ones and stuff,
[31:05]but where I think this one stood out
[31:06]is they had a ton of local records,
[31:08]a ton of Minneapolis artists.
[31:10]They had a whole wall of Minneapolis artists.
[31:12]So I went down.
[31:13]First one I got is the replacements.
[31:16]Oh, wow.
[31:17]Wait, let it be?
[31:18]Let it be.
[31:19]Yeah.
[31:19]Oh, Russell, look at that.
[31:22]Yes.
[31:22]It looks so good.
[31:24]The second one I got...
[31:25]If you're buying a replacements record on Lindale,
[31:26]you're buying a replacements record, man.
[31:28]You got to do it, right?
[31:29]The second one I got...
[31:30]Now, Russell, can I ask you,
[31:31]did you feel cool as hell when you bought that record?
[31:33]Well, we'll see if I feel cool after the next one I give you,
[31:36]but Matt might judge me,
[31:37]but I'm going to go for it anyways.
[31:38]It's the one I get it confused with the replacements.
[31:41]It's the Pretenders.
[31:42]Whoa.
[31:43]Wow.
[31:44]That's a good one.
[31:45]Yeah.
[31:45]And then I only got one other record there.
[31:48]I could only get three that I really called my name.
[31:51]The last one I got is one we've
[31:52]covered on the list.
[31:53]It's Etta James, At Last.
[31:55]Oh, yes.
[31:56]What a great one to have on Lindale.
[31:58]So at this point, I'm like,
[32:00]okay, I've gotten what I can,
[32:02]and I would recommend it.
[32:04]It's the local spot.
[32:05]I think if you're going to go looking for Minnesota bands,
[32:08]I think this is the record store you go to.
[32:10]Yeah.
[32:11]But I didn't get that.
[32:13]I wasn't satiated.
[32:14]I wasn't fulfilled by what I got from that record store,
[32:17]so I needed to go to one more.
[32:19]So we walked down to Cheapo Records.
[32:22]And so I ended up spending way too much money.
[32:26]Do you guys ever go overboard at record stores bad, Aaron?
[32:29]I know you guys buy records.
[32:30]You guys ever go overboard?
[32:31]I've done it.
[32:32]I try not to.
[32:32]I've definitely done it, yeah.
[32:34]Yeah, it's kind of like buying Champion reverse weave sweatshirts these days.
[32:37]Maybe Jordan shoes, maybe the Jordan Ones.
[32:41]Do you feel bad afterwards when you overspend on records or not?
[32:45]Ah, yeah, I do, because then you feel like you have to listen to them, right?
[32:50]And if you're not listening to them enough,
[32:52]are they getting the attention they deserve from overspending?
[32:55]This was the first where I definitely had an overspend and kind of felt bad,
[33:00]but I had some amazing finds that I wanted to share with you guys if I could.
[33:03]And Rob, we know when I go to record stores,
[33:05]we got to do something pretty perverted.
[33:07]We're starting with the pretty perverted,
[33:09]which I put on top when I checked out at Cheapo.
[33:11]The album is Hooters, Nervous Night.
[33:14]Hooters?
[33:16]There's a band called Hooters?
[33:17]Which features the song, And We Dance.
[33:20]Rob, maybe you could pull up And We Dance.
[33:22]I actually can't type and do that at the same time.
[33:25]Hooters, you recently did this on your mellophone list or whatever.
[33:35]Oh, we did.
[33:36]Oh, yeah.
[33:37]Because this band was named Hooters because they were on the mellophone list.
[33:42]And that's the Cyndi Lauper episode I just listened to and told you guys how good it was.
[33:45]So, Rob, this was the one where I was like, this is pretty perverted.
[33:48]It's got to go top of the stack.
[33:50]They've got to look at this one.
[33:52]First, think, what is wrong with this guy, right?
[33:54]Can you guys imagine the evolution of Russell?
[33:58]He is now going to a record store buying Etta James, The Replacements, and The Hooters.
[34:03]That's how cool we have made Russell.
[34:05]These are the different stores, Rob.
[34:06]I know you had to get up and go deal with your family problems, but these are different stores.
[34:09]Well, there was a noise in the kitchen.
[34:11]I wasn't sure what it was.
[34:12]It was scary.
[34:12]It was always in him.
[34:13]He always had it in him.
[34:14]I think, Matt, you guys may have said you don't know this one as much.
[34:17]I don't either, but there's one song in this that I think is absolute dynamite.
[34:21]The album is...
[34:21]His name is Kim Carnes, Mistaken Identity.
[34:25]The song I wanted was Betty Davis Eyes.
[34:27]Yeah.
[34:28]But that Betty Davis Eyes song is an absolute killer.
[34:32]It is.
[34:33]Absolutely.
[34:34]Now, we also talked a lot about Kim Carnes on the Cyndi Lauper episode, guys.
[34:41]This is like the Cyndi Lauper episode part two.
[34:42]I'll come back.
[34:43]I love it.
[34:44]This is a good song, man.
[34:45]We'll let this go for a minute.
[34:48]I'll keep going on the list of what I got.
[34:51]The first one that I got, it's in fine condition, Aaron.
[34:54]I don't know fine condition when they say that on the record, if that means it doesn't work or what.
[34:58]It probably means there's some, like, it needs to be cleaned up.
[35:01]Maybe it's got some dust on it.
[35:02]It's like Aaron.
[35:03]It was an album we've covered on the list so far.
[35:05]It's Bruce Springsteen, Darkness on the Edge of Town.
[35:08]Oh, wow.
[35:09]God, Russell.
[35:11]He played almost everything from that album when I saw him, and every single one of them is a banger.
[35:16]I then picked this one up for $9.90 in fine condition.
[35:21]It's The Who, Who's Next.
[35:23]Wow.
[35:24]Baba O'Reilly.
[35:25]Yeah.
[35:26]Won't Get Food Again.
[35:29]Behind Blue Eyes.
[35:30]It's on there.
[35:30]Man, this is the first one that I thought would blow you away.
[35:33]I think you'll like this one.
[35:34]It's Weezer, The Blue Album.
[35:36]Oh.
[35:36]Oh.
[35:37]Doesn't get much better than that.
[35:39]My Name is Jonas, Buddy Holly, The Sweater Song.
[35:42]I hope we've not heard that yet.
[35:43]Just the whole thing.
[35:44]Wait.
[35:44]Because this list sucks sometimes.
[35:46]I hope we've not heard Wildflowers.
[35:48]Well, we're about to.
[35:49]We've got these two albums ready this week and next week.
[35:51]we have after that you're totally right that we should have heard weezer blue album by now that
[35:56]whole album front to back slaps in my garage my name is jonas surf wax america you guys know is
[36:02]one of my favorite songs like that is an incredible incredible album one of the specific reasons we
[36:09]picked up weezer was we saw them in concert rob i know you hammered me when i said i saw buddy
[36:14]holly in concert got that buddy holly record but we did see weezer matt you were at the same concert
[36:19]so when we see a band in concert we got to get their record right so that's why we picked that
[36:23]one up and so we followed that one up with you mentioned dookie i saw dookie live i also saw
[36:29]american idiot so we picked up wow american idiot on vinyl wow russell that is you were just you're
[36:36]on fire with your records i forgot to be hitting those buttons for every record i got three more
[36:39]that i picked up this day on my overspending oh you did you did overspend the next one i picked
[36:45]up now russell can i can i ask you this yes did you show all of the
[36:49]these to the upstairs roommate she was actually at the record stores with me i don't do you matt
[36:55]and aaron would you guys go to the record store is your wife or your significant other usually
[36:59]with you are you on your own russell russell yeah i usually go yeah is that a serious question
[37:06]i've usually gone on my own because i kind of always figure that's like the way to get out of
[37:11]the house for a few hours right russell can you take your earphones off for a second yeah guys
[37:16]this i think we've got some serious growth here because we remember like maybe 100 episodes ago
[37:22]there was all sorts of questions that russell was asking about like relationship stuff and it's like
[37:26]russell oh russell are you serious it's been a long time since we've had one of those he doesn't
[37:31]need our help anymore he doesn't need our help he's not the nest man he's flying now bad i don't
[37:36]think you listened to what rob had to delete last week but that's fine what happened you guys
[37:41]imagine not having kids i mean this is what not having kids is like you guys both go to a record
[37:46]store and get down to work and you're like oh my god i'm not having kids i'm not having kids i'm not
[37:46]hanging out oh my god let's just you know hey this one record store didn't work let's go to the
[37:52]second record store because we ain't got time nobody wants to get home and play video games
[38:00]nobody wants yeah i don't have to take my kid to a birthday party with parents i hate i know i'm
[38:04]gonna go talk to him for a half hour god damn next album i picked up at this record store is probably
[38:10]one of my favorites we've listened to it i think rob you and i are both on this bandwagon it's
[38:15]one of the artists that is we've loved the most from this this quest it's david bowie the rise
[38:20]and fall of ziggy that is such a good album that still is one of my favorite albums we've done
[38:26]that was my favorite discovery of an album like that's like still something i just am
[38:30]blown away and then i i actually bought two new albums i try to avoid the new ones i feel like
[38:34]what's the point of going i can buy those online you can buy those at a bookstore you can buy them
[38:39]anywhere right so i did buy two new ones and the first one i bought i've brought this album up
[38:43]multiple times because i didn't want to buy it i didn't want to buy it i didn't want to buy it i didn't
[38:45]want to buy it i think it's underrated i think it should have been rated higher we should have
[38:48]heard it by now the album is doggy style yes yes love it some albums deserve to be bought new
[38:56]russell that one deserves matt there's one other album that deserves to be bought new and it's the
[39:01]album that i believe you and aaron think will be the number one album next time they update the
[39:05]list it's lemonade by beyonce is the best how do you guys feel about that record store middle fingers
[39:15]i forgot that that's so good yes that will be number one on the list someday the only other
[39:22]thing that i've had to put back i almost got matt a version of the warrior by scandal wow i didn't
[39:28]know if he had it yet or not so i put it back what a great one hey uh weezer by the way 294 so
[39:34]we're coming okay we're gonna get close we're gonna get there in 2025 maybe right yeah no no

[39:50]recorded someone a week ago now matt can you be honest with me okay and don't don't lie to big
[39:56]papa rob did you listen or have any urge to the episode last week did not listen those guys right
[40:04]did not all right i honestly hope he didn't i feel like ben affleck in goodwill hunting where i'm like

[40:23]know we have not i don't know if we're gonna get to matchbox 20 in this we probably aren't but
[40:27]bright lights you know you can fast forward a little bit too because it starts off pretty slow
[40:30]right there that's good um so we you want to talk about a bra fumbling band
[40:38]matchbox 20 is an all-timer just wait just wait right here ready it's like all thumbs oh here we
[40:45]can we just take it off like a shirt he's giving us vulnerability he's showing us his soul right
[40:52]there so rob we uh family went to maine we went to visit maine last weekend you know it's about
[40:59]five days over me it was great it was so awesome i did your wife go to banger we did not go to

[41:15]somebody on the phone i'm like yeah we're going to banger maine and sarah says no we're not going
[41:18]to banger we're going to bar harbor so i said okay hint all right i guess i get it yeah uh but i did
[41:25]use one of your tricks rob we were walking around uh stolen shit portland maine we're walking around
[41:31]portland maine trying to figure out you know where all the cool things are we go to the donut shop
[41:36]we're trying to get down to the wharf all the stuff and eddie's got to take a leak he's got
[41:41]to yeah really got to go he's got he's really got to go we cannot we're out of here we're out of here
[41:45]we're on the main street where they got all the tourist stuff they got the t-shirt shops they got
[41:49]the head the hedge a lot of head shops in the oh yeah in maine we didn't know that so all of a sudden
[41:55]there it is right in the sky the old uh chain hotel so i just said eddie i said don't look at
[42:03]anybody follow right behind me we're going in we just walked right through the lobby right to the
[42:08]bathroom took a leak i said now when we leave don't look at anybody head down look straight
[42:13]ahead
[42:15]on the joint walk out walk right out nice solid nice job are you bars rob or are you uh
[42:21]are you no hotels yeah hotels so they've ever stuck for you ever stuck for a bathroom
[42:27]hotel is the best thing but don't look anybody in the eye you just gotta go i like the idea of
[42:32]going into like a bank with this kid being like put on this mask don't say anything just do what
[42:37]i say start the timer for 30 seconds bars are good too though because like a bar you walk in
[42:42]especially in the middle of the day like they're not gonna they don't care what you're doing they're
[42:45]like no if you got a kid i mean they know what you're doing yeah something about walking into a
[42:50]bar at 9 30 in the morning with a kid i am right if you can avoid it and then you might as well
[42:56]order the hotel you can walk by people without them even noticing that you're going into like
[43:01]they'll look at you and they're like they're going up the elevator the bar they're gonna see
[43:04]why did they come in and not order a drink that i think i agree the hotel but just don't look
[43:09]anybody a lot of these things you just don't look i think there's something i saw somebody on tiktok
[43:15]those things i don't watch tiktok but did a thing they said their buddies talked about if you just
[43:20]walk into a anywhere if you walk into anything carrying a ladder people just let you in you know
[43:27]you want to go into a con just walk into the ladder and so they tried it they the thing about
[43:31]a lobby bathroom though that you got to be careful with is you are going to have every guy who's there
[43:38]with a date pooping down in the lobby bathroom okay you all know not even that is the key to a
[43:45]you have to go number two down in the lobby you can't do the bar door bathroom for sure poops at
[43:49]night it happens to me once in a while but i'm a morning guy aaron what are you talking i gotta get
[43:55]out of here we gotta we gotta get into this all the stuff what do you just say hold that till the
[44:00]morning yeah i'm a morning guy like i don't know most of the time unless something weird happens
[44:05]oh my gosh you guys it's like i said a certain time of day aaron for me it's always like at
[44:11]whatever the worst time would possibly be during the day it's like oh or
[44:15]like like the other day or you had a swim meet at your daughter's swim meet and all the bathrooms
[44:18]in the school are locked so you need to go find a kid's bathroom to do this then okay i think this
[44:23]is what your body's gonna react i mean but it's like i don't know i do that every single time i'm
[44:29]in a hotel just go down to the lobby if we're in vegas right like you got a roommate like just go
[44:35]down to the go to the lobby go to the yeah why would you why would you not why would you you
[44:39]know but when we were playing baseball we used to be like we used to have like four to a room
[44:45]right when you're traveling for baseball and stuff like that so the best thing would you just
[44:48]you don't go into your room you just find some other people's room and go in their room just
[44:53]shut lock the door wait you would go i think that is wrong i will say this i think people
[44:59]that use someone else's hotel room for the bathroom like that that is sick and wrong it's
[45:05]an all-out war you have to be on your game you have to lock your door don't let anybody in
[45:10]and then you got to make sure that yeah you just got to go find the oh hey guys how's it going what
[45:15]is the plan of some fucked up and then you go right into their shitter i would be so mad if i
[45:21]was in a hotel and i knew somebody else sat on my toilet seat oh my god plus rob like is known for
[45:29]like clocking these things and leaving 20 bills brock imagine why would you do it why would you
[45:34]do it in your room might as well do it in somebody else's room this is wrong you can avoid actually
[45:38]now that russ says that man might have a good point i should have gone to somebody else's room
[45:42]right there you go
[45:45]god that story god russell i'm bad you know the more this podcast goes on the more i realize i'm
[45:50]a terrible person you replayed that episode two weeks ago so that's where it why would i replay
[45:55]that episode why well looks like i can never get divorced okay so listen okay you guys might not
[46:03]have a calendar okay you guys might not realize now it's a it's a saturday night this is the big
[46:09]in fact i might have to get up and leave during this episode oh because my daughter is at a
[46:15]halloween party oh geez and it was a party that has a ticket on her phone it's a teenage party
[46:23]she had to give me 40 bucks and she had to get a ticket to go to this thing is it someone's house
[46:29]and it said right on there maybe the most suspicious is the first line on there no drugs
[46:33]no alcohol i was like what the hell am i paying 40 for that's exactly what someone who's doing

[48:05]little bit but unfortunately that is not what i'm talking about what i am talking about today
[48:09]is in fact hey rob i don't i don't rob i can't hear you very well can you speak up a little
[48:15]i actually can't i can't rob i can't hear you can you guys hear rob i can't no i'm trying to read
[48:20]his lips i know he feels like his mustache is going up and down and this is the definition
[48:24]of a punk right now a punk here we go
[48:27]i was looking on the podcast i've got my jokes right when i realized this episode tonight
[48:39]would be downloaded and then it would be seen on october 31st
[48:45]why does halloween he made a list about scary songs he made a list the bit's always a little
[48:52]too long rob made a list what song will be number one he made a list if you don't like it then you
[48:59]are wrong so i went online to find the scariest songs i copy other lists so it doesn't take too
[49:06]long thing this year that's got me depressed it's the third year in a row that i've made this list
[49:15]about scary songs he made a list he made a list this bit's always a bit too long
[49:21]what song will be number one he made a list number six was this very song
[49:28]all right no we did it let's say again let's get into the scariest songs
[49:45]of 2024 halloween because this is coming out right before halloween right before two days before
[49:51]to get ready for this i have listened to the lists in the years past okay now i'm just going to tell
[49:56]you last year i'm an idiot i did six songs i could have saved one of those songs for this year what
[50:00]am i doing okay but i have a little tab on my google keep that is just scary songs i've been
[50:05]filling this in all year so these are the five scariest songs from this year okay who will be
[50:11]crowned champion you put this on a playlist play it when kids are coming to your door
[50:15]uh the first song is a song by elton brit it's called uranium fever what guys can you imagine
[50:22]well i don't know but you're out mining uranium this was a song
[50:27]written by elton brit he did 600 songs for rca records
[50:31]and he once took a break where he went out west and mined uranium and his wife wrote this song
[50:40]a geiger counter in my hand i'm going out to take me some gum a geiger counter
[50:45]now unfortunately elton brit did do what we call the macho man
[50:54]where he had a heart attack while he was driving a car so how'd you find this song rob that's great
[51:00]it is a actually okay it's in fallout 4 it's in a video game so that's fine i mean that's amazing
[51:07]but to me just like mining uranium would be the scariest thing because you know you're just getting
[51:12]listen i don't need to explain it okay a lot of these times i've been mining uranium and i've been
[51:15]trying to explain why these songs are scary man did you think that song was scary this is a bit i
[51:20]did last year man was that song scary to you very scary oh my god i have to not mess around with
[51:25]uranium at number four i have a song that many people have called bone chilling okay it's
[51:31]actually a new release this year and a lot of people had very very strong reactions to this
[51:38]song so let's just listen real quick john show the robin john show we listen to the song
[51:43]crickets
[51:45]that's the point of the robin the scariest thing is sometimes you're actually just trying to do
[51:51]something funny guess who are the hoes it doesn't work at all you're playing the song you play this
[51:57]when you kick the three of us off the podcast and replaced us for a week and you actually said that
[52:03]you you do a new thing where you like roll the dice and you you pick a new pick an old episode
[52:07]you go back and listen to and you told us this in text the other day you said you went back and
[52:12]listened to the episode after the robin john show and you said you went back and listened to the
[52:15]show where you had to look us face to face and eye to eye and say i replaced you guys for a week
[52:20]and what did you guys what did you text us about that week that i was totally oblivious and i had
[52:27]no idea how you guys really felt and to me it was a big joke and i thought it was fun and it wasn't
[52:32]not everything is a joke robert and when i was listening back to it i could tell immediately
[52:37]that you guys were mad and rob in the past was just happy talking and russell i was actually
[52:43]wrong that was not the latest episode of the show i was just happy talking and i was just happy talking
[52:45]so that was an episode two after the robin john show so the tension was still there
[52:48]for after two weeks could have been a double recording that night and that's decided you
[52:53]know we're the guys rob who have to stay up and do two shows with you at the weekend
[52:57]and you replaced us well the worst part was when i asked aaron's brother did you listen to the
[53:02]robin john show and he said what no like it was the dumbest thing in the world that he would listen
[53:07]to every episode of the podcast and then he went into a long explanation of how he's like do i
[53:11]really need to listen to this and i was like yeah okay we don't need to get into why you're not
[53:15]i'm already worried that we lost a lot of people when rob made us record without matt a week ago too
[53:20]yeah it's possible right like matt is our biggest fan base we had floods of emails saying this is
[53:25]outrageous hey that the episode was way too short because matt wasn't there now next up we actually
[53:32]have a song sent in by magic mike 69 he sent us in this is a song by tom cardi and it was released
[53:40]october 11th 2024 whoa okay it's a brunch of dracula
[53:45]and they're all playing the flute
[53:46]that's a scary one of the lines of this song is they're blood-sucking bitches with perfect
[54:07]embouchures zombies with tubas and werewolves and cellos but now wait what's the name of this
[54:12]what's the name of this band
[54:13]this is tom cardi is there any chance that magic mike is also on this song
[54:19]excuse me some of those voices sound a little bit like magic mike to me
[54:26]you think you think he's publishing his own stuff i do you think this you think this is a
[54:31]advertisement i think it's possible man can you look up tom cardi a bunch of dracula's
[54:39]l-i-a-s and see if
[54:43]i don't even know his name i think it's magic mike 69 if he's putting his own stuff out there
[54:47]we might have to take him off i think tom cardi is it no i think he's i think he's an australian
[54:52]dude okay he's an australian comedian musician songwriter actor it's felt like one of those
[54:57]unapologizer familiar how about this though i will say featuring mike someone right there's
[55:03]a feature magic mike 69 only because we follow we need a we need a follow-up to the uh um he was at
[55:11]his reunion right
[55:13]he went to his reunion and we saw there's some pictures there so we need to follow but
[55:16]i did see that magic mike 69 went to like a secret pop-up show of jack white's oh wow jack
[55:24]white and he was just here two days ago right he was at first half two days ago yeah and i wasn't
[55:29]just coming back from work trip i was there but couldn't do it um but so then they're filming
[55:35]and they took the picture of the front of the cover and i wish i could find what the album is
[55:40]but magic mike's there but jack white's guitar is like this and magic mike's face is right behind
[55:46]the guitar so he didn't make it onto the album cover and so he has the worst luck remember when
[55:52]he did that video and then rolling stones like this video sucks balls yeah so he almost was on
[55:58]the cover of the new jack white album but he was behind the guitar so they they got him he's like
[56:03]a yeah i'm just gonna say masters power lifting two years is in reno okay i'm just gonna say we
[56:08]want to do a little live show okay
[56:10]by the way man where are we on that can we get a live show together in minneapolis
[56:13]for the summer sure oh yeah i can be there let me know when you're here i've been thinking about it
[56:18]we gotta do it we gotta you know after after what you know that one time we did that vegas when we're
[56:23]all looking at each other that really works out well no that's not what we're talking about you
[56:28]know it probably could work well rob if when you came to minneapolis you didn't come here and then
[56:33]go up north for three months in a row well the problem is when i don't i get violently ill
[56:38]if i go anywhere else so this is
[56:40]i got it yeah that's that's that's an airport issue i will hang out in the cities with you guys
[56:45]we will do a live show i got we can all have theme songs when we walk out guys we it's going to be

[56:53]when i was in the charleston airport they're getting on to rob guys getting on to rob oh they
[57:01]have the gates now where you walk in and you can just walk right out with everything but it scans
[57:04]everything when you walk out at the store at the store so you're saying the hudson news there has
[57:10]security devices now yep they got security oh my gosh your whole plan is going to be foiled rob
[57:15]this is why we can't buy shampoo at walgreens anymore too i'm gonna have to come up with an
[57:21]ocean 11s type scheme where i'm in like a box because i've always pictured myself as ocean
[57:25]11 as the guy in the box i would flip around in the vault that was actually me that was the most
[57:30]character the character that most represented i'm like the brad pitt i'm the guy that just eats
[57:33]apples to sexually arouse the viewers aaron who are you in oceans 11
[57:40]sorry i was still trying to figure out if my music is listening to anything you said for 25 minutes
[57:46]i haven't no i got 25 minutes fast i'm watching the bunch of fucking directly this video i'm
[57:51]looking for magic mike i'm sorry rob i'm back with you what would you like to know
[57:55]aaron who in oceans 11 are you uh danny ocean who the fuck is that i don't know is that are you
[58:04]talking about like one or something that's of course i want to be george clooney doesn't every
[58:09]dude want to be george clooney no i don't know i don't know i don't know i don't know i don't know
[58:10]no i'm the guy in the vault aaron i mean i would like to be brad pitt's character because he's
[58:14]eating a lot but no that's russell god damn aaron listen up that's disrespectful i just
[58:19]i'm looking for that was really disrespectful man who are you in oceans 11 uh probably like
[58:28]one of those two doofuses that are like you know pushing the con and the uh yeah yeah yeah that's
[58:34]good either that or like the don cheetle maybe i'll be the don cheetle character you know kind
[58:37]of just tangentially part of it
[58:40]mad is the guy who's racing his rc car against a huge car and the huge car just drives it over
[58:44]it's a great scene now listen back to the scary list it's a great movie okay the next song some
[58:49]people would think it's the scariest song and i found a version by queen from the movie flash
[58:54]gordon okay so maybe if we do do a live show we could just double end it with this flash
[59:00]guys think about this first we do this then we do a live show double header
[59:07]back to the better fans could all be there
[59:10]some people think this is the scariest song of all time oh right there's a lot of people who are
[59:17]too scared even to they don't want to hear it a lot of people don't want to rise up be brave
[59:22]yeah and not think the song is so scary we're not saluting this song russell just three out of four
[59:27]of us have heard it and this is a scary tale yeah man is this song scary to you i mean i'm confused
[59:36]i guess no i don't know why would it be scary
[59:40]i'm trying to figure that out not scary to me it's maybe it's just scary to some people they
[59:44]should get over it because we actually have to have a party and get together we're serious now
[59:48]we're not joking anymore now we're begging we're on the on our knees at this point in 2024
[59:54]naked please scariest song of all and we're gonna see it tomorrow come to fruition it's of course
[60:02]i want candy because as soon as my kids eat their candy that's when the real monsters come out on
[60:08]halloween is after they eat their candy
[60:10]my kids are going to be nightmares tomorrow and then they're going to be nightmares again
[60:14]next thursday rob what's the candy that your kids bring back from trick-or-treating that stays in
[60:19]the house the longest it's like it's like the i know you're not a milk duds guy what's the one
[60:24]that none of you guys eat what's the thing that lasts till the end i think an almond joy almond
[60:28]joy is going to be sitting there till the end of time in this house i would take you know what we
[60:32]had we should rank foods by how long they stay in this house we bought a box of peanut butter oreos
[60:38]and they stayed in this house for a week
[60:40]week straight nobody was eating them that's a disaster coca-cola oreos the coca-cola though the
[60:46]coca-cola the oreo flavored coca-cola lasted five days so that was close okay it was very close so
[60:52]guys that was the list of the scariest songs it's time to get let's talk about the album
[60:56]and parents you're listening to this yeah halloween night you tell me that's not the
[61:04]scariest thing in the world when your kids are fired up on sugar and then they crash
[61:07]and they're tired and they're crying oh it's just the worst
[61:10]oh i need to get a costume together for school tomorrow i need 100 cotton balls or whatever
[61:14]or my kid's costume which is apparently her costume is how i want my wife to dress
[61:21]it's like the one person in my life who's wearing low-cut tops it's my kid i'm like god
[61:27]yeah that's not thanks no that's what you're looking for no that's not what i now we are
[61:33]talking about uh joy division uh what's the album called uh unknown pleasures okay joy division
[61:40]formed in 76 after two members saw a sex pistols concert and they bring in this guy named ian
[61:45]curtis to play keyboards guitar and vocals a lot of people point to this okay you know i say it on
[61:51]albums like this all the time as the biggest post-punk band now post-punk is this idea where
[61:56]it's punk type songs played fast played kind of short but now we've made the sound really sparse
[62:02]instead of being really dense it's kind of like spaced out more experimental maybe some keyboards
[62:07]the only band i could see the other band that we know of that's punk type songs is the one that's
[62:10]post-punk is the cure is what what they pointed out this whole thing is produced and engineered
[62:15]by this guy martin hannett it turns out joy division is actually a punk band they sound
[62:21]like the ramones they sound like punk bands but when they went in the studio this guy martin
[62:27]hammett said i want to make this album about space and he refused to do any like effects to
[62:33]make space so he's not doing reverb he's not doing echo instead they would literally go in
[62:37]different rooms there's a song where the guy's singing down a telephone line and he's like
[62:40]there's one where they're playing in a elevator to get all this kind of uh different sounds like
[62:45]these sonic effects and people have described this album as gary glitter meets the velvet
[62:48]underground wow which i think is really apt because you've got you kind of have this different
[62:54]wall of sound sound and this velvet underground type songs but when you realize this album is
[63:00]about the use of space it really is much more interesting to listen to i think because every
[63:05]song is different makes me think of chade and i don't want to give my takeaway but i
[63:10]hated listening to this album but when you describe it that way i realized probably the
[63:14]guys in chade were listening to this too and maybe this led to that so i got to give them some props
[63:19]you can think whatever about the album you want here but that is a great point now listen after
[63:23]this album comes out uh this is their debut album this is their only album because ian curtis
[63:31]has suffered from epilepsy and depression and the eve the night before they were going to go
[63:36]on their first north american tour because they were getting big he committed suicide
[63:40]and is gone so this is the only album that was released when he that was when he was alive
[63:45]they've got one other of kind of posthumous stuff but this is it so this is joy division let's get
[63:52]into uh unknown pleasures the first song disorder this was my favorite song on the album this is the
[64:00]song they recorded first and they were so mad with how it sounded oh that's funny this is the one i
[64:06]like all right no this is what this is what made me gave me hope yeah right i was like oh my god
[64:10]let's listen to this yeah that's that's kind of what you would expect to happen right like
[64:14]they're they want their music to be a little different so this thing that it sounds
[64:18]what we're used to or is going to be a hook for the normal listeners not what they want right
[64:23]yeah yeah you're right so the production guy stripped down the power of the drums
[64:28]took out the guitar and he actually a lot of these drums are panning back and forth in your
[64:34]headphones side to side and they think this might be the peak of this producer's career
[64:40]listen to this this is disorder
[64:42]played by joy division live listen to what they sound like live i thought this was really
[64:47]interesting oh it's totally a different sound yeah it's pretty thin this is very uh
[65:00]more distortion replacements though yeah yeah you're right i like this and the producer said
[65:05]well a studio album is not a live show and a live show shouldn't sound like the studio album
[65:10]it's a completely different thing so we're gonna play with that i just think this whole thing is
[65:15]interesting that it's that's the point of this album day of the lords thank you the first one
[65:21]did feel like it should be on one of the radio video killed the radio star or what's the what's
[65:26]that sandler the two uh what's the sandler movie that had the two wedding singer the wedding singer
[65:33]remember it had the wedding singer one wedding singer two it had two of the soundtrack that had
[65:38]two soundtracks for one movie i feel like
[65:40]that first song would have fit in perfectly on one of those
[65:42]well we actually have a soundtrack movie song coming up uh but not this one candidate
[65:49]uh is this was a song they wrote when they got to the they recorded this over three weekends
[65:56]and the guy's like listen you're two songs short of making an album now i want to tell you this
[66:01]album is 35 minutes long and they still were two songs short they're like okay we got to write two
[66:05]songs real quick this was one that they came up with because basically they were a jam band they
[66:09]would just sit there and jam and come up with songs like this this does feel like halloween
[66:15]appropriate it's spooky as shit right this feels like somebody's like watching you in your cabin
[66:20]window right like this if we had done this last summer rob you've been freaked out can you imagine
[66:24]a bigger difference between getting watched through a cabin window and watching someone
[66:27]through a cabin window
[66:28]but son i was watching you right rob yeah i mean if they're looking deep into your asshole you know
[66:37]oh my god aaron
[66:39]what the fuck just say it depends on what you're doing it could happen i don't know i don't know
[66:44]what rob does in the cabin you think that he would be unhappy then and i would be happy like
[66:48]haha reversed it oh peeping tom out there better have him look deep in my asshole
[66:52]gold bond on check this out happy baby style that's no joke if you saw me put on gold bond
[67:00]you would never recover yeah peeping tom is gonna learn his lesson
[67:05]insight this is a song it starts with them in an elevator
[67:10]and then it's recorded they actually recorded this down a telephone line
[67:15]to get the distance he wanted for the vocals
[67:18]here's the elevator
[67:21]everywhere do you think the singer is he too far back
[67:35]matt you've talked about this like with the singers forward or back is he too far back and
[67:40]it's too distorted you don't even know or what what do you guys think yeah i mean he's to me he's
[67:44]very far back but it's probably part of it like i've had people explain that they don't want they
[67:51]don't want their uh voice to be the instrument or the focus they want the music to be what is coming
[67:58]out of the speakers if you will and that's what i get out of this it's not for me uh but you know i
[68:04]don't know i mean does this do you think my bloody valentine was listening to this i mean oh i mean
[68:09]absolutely like but i think my bloody valentine kicks the shit out of this album and you know
[68:16]obviously it's way ahead of it but like you know that this feels like it's trying it doesn't feel
[68:20]like it's trying to go but it feels like it's going to get uh slotted into like three different
[68:25]kind of is it punk is it new age is it like the synth pop you know what is it i have no idea what
[68:33]the heck it is is it like emo music by itself i you know i don't know it's hard for me to to peg
[68:39]it i just felt like it was i gotta i don't know it made me it made me want to apologize to rob
[68:44]because it it felt to me like if you took the b-52s and boy pardon the phrase here if you took
[68:52]the joy out of the b-52s this is the band you get oh it's totally true it was tough for me to listen
[68:58]to and i like if this is what you like i you should like it but for me yeah like matt said
[69:03]it's not for me be like if you took the funny out of rob and went to vegas with them how fun would
[69:07]that be oh my god can you imagine like serious robin vegas just like no guys i think i'm just
[69:13]gonna go to bed tonight sorry i don't need that i don't need that 17th cigarette i can't afford
[69:18]this last bet because of interest rates these days have you seen the price of eggs
[69:24]am i a joker to you guys rod oh my gosh am i a jester to you i like to think i have serious
[69:31]conversations have i cloud we have a serious guy in fact i've been talking a lot about the
[69:36]serious conversation i had with rob where he said i finally figured out a framework is just what you
[69:41]do yeah oh yeah i'm telling you at work they were like frameworks frameworks i'm like i missed this
[69:48]class i must have been out for this class in college i don't know what a framework is and
[69:51]that's just a fancy term for what you do and i was like oh i'm in like a business meeting this
[69:55]is a living breathing document i get what this is just dumb shit let me let's just can we all right
[70:01]let me wrap up real quick rosie and you know like what this is like i was all excited for i
[70:05]what i had in my head of joy division was like duran duran and the cure and you know maybe some
[70:12]of these other ones like depeche like depeche mode something like like that whole thing like i love
[70:16]that version of like synth pop you know kind of new age rock i love that stuff and so i was all
[70:24]excited for it and then i heard the first song like great and then i just same was disappointed
[70:29]level tears apart is the big
[70:31]this is the big hit but it's not on this album is that right correct yes
[70:36]but admittedly i don't know this song do you guys know this song
[70:41]yeah i mean i know it but it didn't make my win amp listed college it didn't i don't know what i
[70:48]learned it but i do love this song well we talked about we've talked about this i mean we've talked
[70:52]about joy division with a lot of bands i know we talked about it with um with what was his name
[70:57]uh the guy who did suede head um the smiths we talked a ton about i mean
[71:01]every band like this we've talked about the smiths uh bloody valentine it always comes back
[71:06]to joy division this this band you know they had the death and everything so they moved into
[71:11]to uh they were called new order after this right essentially like a robe order yeah like a remake
[71:16]so put on blue monday by new order once i actually gave that to rob rob is the same band it's pretty
[71:24]much the same but like this without the one guy yes yeah but this is on like uh 93 uh what's the
[71:31]this well this was on russ's this was on by win amp player in college this song is a banger so like
[71:38]this is what i think like this song i hear it all the time this is a this is the stuff i was kind of
[71:43]thinking i was going to hear out of joy division yeah a little bit more disco-y
[71:48]yeah yeah so yeah i don't know this is what i don't know i was excited
[71:55]when i thought we were getting this and then i was like oh boy i was with you too man like i had a
[72:01]fast forward like halfway through it's right yeah you gotta get to the lyrics or go backwards a
[72:06]little bit there we go yes new world order for life for life there we go this sounds like
[72:21]depesh mode doesn't it yeah that's what i mean so that's you know i can't believe it was that one guy
[72:27]that drug him down to the depths of emo world but i think they added a few i think they added a few
[72:31]they added some other people when they went from yeah and this is 1983 right so i mean it is four
[72:38]years later all right you can you keep moving rob sorry now oh don't ever be sorry new dawn
[72:46]phase sorry rob opens with a backwards sample from the song before i kind of like your fault
[72:51]i kind of like the guitar of this well i don't know if it's not your fault but i thought the
[72:54]guitar was just kind of funny it's just kind of a little slow build right there i mean this sounds
[73:01]90s uh i mean all this rock you kind of yeah like this right it's like alice in chains right
[73:08]matt you said alt rock i was thinking about like you know matt you said like this is a band's
[73:14]favorite band right like all these bands claim this is what that they love so i thought we could
[73:19]do a quick list of the bands that were inspired by joy division because we may not be but some
[73:24]of our favorite bands may have been correct 100 giddy up
[73:31]so now the songs i'm going to give you guys aren't necessarily the joy division inspired songs but
[73:36]these are the bands that have said joy division is what guided them the first one matt one of
[73:41]your favorite bands smashing punk nuts totally here yeah billy corgan said joy division is the
[73:48]second most important band after the beatles in the 20th century whoa wow they capture a particular
[73:55]form of nihilism in a way that doesn't feel mawkish or childish there's an adultness to us
[74:01]billy corgan said after the beatles that is the most important i slightly disagree with it i mean
[74:06]that feels like a pretty bold statement but i mean you know love what you love that's great billy
[74:11]i've always agreed with everything billy corgan has ever said so this is hard for me to say but
[74:15]i don't know right i'm just really into that wrestling thing the nwa he's been running for
[74:20]the last few years but he but he said about that that album he said it's not the perfect recording
[74:25]it's not perfectly mixed yet this gives us a special quality that encapsulates the punk ethos
[74:31]yeah smashing pumpkins maybe they don't exist without joy division right they might not yeah
[74:38]man that's that makes me feel like i don't know what the punk ethos is though like i i and maybe
[74:42]and i definitely don't i just feel like the punk ethos is less sort of polished than the joy
[74:47]division album but we don't have to get down that rabbit hole next one on the list uh we've talked
[74:51]about this band i believe we covered one of their albums the band is nine inch nails and the artist
[74:55]specifically is trent reisner yeah yeah this is a banger by the way okay yeah
[75:01]that's great fun he's covered and all these bands we're covering tonight have covered multiple joy
[75:06]division songs on albums on concerts all this stuff i'm not going to repeat all that stuff but
[75:11]trent reisner specifically covered a number of songs and is cited this as one of the biggest
[75:17]influences in all his work so maybe nine inch nails if there's no joy division maybe we don't
[75:22]get closer or any of those songs right that is one of the straightest lines you can draw us from
[75:26]joy division to nine inch nails in my mind it's perfect it's like the next evolution of the music
[75:31]next band on the list is another span that i think we all really like it's red hot chili peppers
[75:36]specifically is it um who's the guitar player john is it for shantae matt you got the right
[75:42]pronunciation yeah he specifically said that this was like one of his all-time bands
[75:48]and so him and flea have it combined and they've like covered their whole albums and stuff so i
[75:55]don't know if red hot chili peppers exists without them too well i mean you think about
[76:01]if you go look at like what the most popular songs albums were in 1977 right probably some
[76:06]disco probably some like really old white rock group from the from the 60s right something like
[76:14]let's look we'll look it up quick and you can see where somebody like joy division like completely
[76:18]just flips you know what you should be listening to and how you should be doing it so you know you
[76:23]can kind of see that i just don't like the album listen to this stevie wonder songs in the key of
[76:28]life and then the eagles with hotel california wings
[76:31]back to eagles fleetwood mac rumors come out that year yeah so if that's what you're supposed to be
[76:37]listening to you know the joy division that's not talking to you then joy division is going to be
[76:41]your thing right yeah so the guitar player said unknown pleasures creates an enormous impact with
[76:46]the smallest means the album benefits from its shortcomings work for work for the red hot chili
[76:53]peppers it should work for us i'm telling you all albums should be 30 in the 30 minute range
[76:57]35 minutes 38 minutes it's a joy to listen to them it's mad i know you don't love this guy
[77:01]but the other band that benefited from this one is you too you too was a huge influence from
[77:09]joy division yeah makes sense
[77:11]did joy division ever push their album out onto my phone no they didn't want it i don't remember
[77:18]them doing that yeah bono said i remember joy division came along and i really related to that
[77:23]because of the moods and the atmosphere and i was actually reading that when um when the gentleman
[77:28]from joy division passed away bono reached out to them and said like we want to listen to you
[77:31]we want to lift you up we want to come in where you guys were leaving this
[77:34]and so you too was also really heavily influenced by this band okay bono reached out to the band
[77:41]and said hey now that you're going to die we're going to fill in where you guys left off which i
[77:46]think that's like i thought was kind of weird that's like what that's like what uh that dude
[77:49]stepped in and took aaron's girlfriend senior high school right when john came in and replaced
[77:54]aaron mad at myself right aaron's aaron's frenching this girl this guy goes listen i'm going to take
[78:01]i appreciate it i'm gonna hop in here this fits into my narrative the youtube is a bunch of scammy
[78:08]last band on the list is not one of my favorites but i know other people like it so i think we
[78:13]should celebrate it because i don't know if they'd be here without it it's radiohead radiohead
[78:17]joy division this is a great song 100 i still go russell i still go back i listen to radiohead
[78:30]fairly often now yeah
[78:31]i listened to in rainbows just today i was i listened to like four nina simone albums and
[78:37]i was like steve what's a radiohead steven morris i think was the drummer maybe of joy division said
[78:41]if they would have stuck around as a band they he thought they would have gone a similar route
[78:45]the way that uh radiohead went down the road so i just thought those are five pretty amazing bands
[78:51]that i don't know if they're the same if they didn't listen to joy division so i thought we
[78:56]needed to celebrate those bands that's great russell great list that's a brilliant list russell
[79:01]so good i love these because top five those are all bands that have been on the list right oh no
[79:07]not the pumpkins yet wait has melancholy not been on the list that's uploaded right
[79:11]come on ron let's hear it ron 341 siamese dream and 341 let's hear about your 401k ron let's hear
[79:21]what you got to say today are you going ross are you going standard you know how do you feel about
[79:25]those uh do i have a 403b is that what i have yeah you probably do yeah thank you
[79:31]educators you got a flood policy on that condo there ron that's the state policy that's the
[79:35]state policy don't give me sorry about flood insurance i live in a goddamn island in new york
[79:40]there's some good delaware delaware llc content related to the sale of the oakland coliseum
[79:45]russell i should have hit you to that i'm in for it oh my god she's lost control she's lost
[79:51]just like rob on this podcast lost control each drum on this uh song was recorded separately
[79:57]because he didn't want any bleed through so literally each drum he hit on its own track
[80:01]it's crazy it's crazy
[80:03]then that's that sort of thing where it's like well now that you know that you want to listen
[80:09]for it but you don't you wouldn't you know you don't hear it otherwise right shadow play now
[80:14]you guys ever did you guys you guys have any good shadow animals you can make with your hands
[80:19]i was obsessed watching sesame street that i would i'd be like i should become a great
[80:24]like the bird right russell's giving the dog oh russell get the dog yeah what do you got
[80:29]oh
[80:31]can't do it like the like can i show you guys a trick one watch this put your hands together
[80:37]like you're giving yourself five and move your fingers a little bit and guess what you got
[80:41]a rooster it's an easy one it's fun people love it good one guys uh booze and vinyl actually it's
[80:49]been a while since we've gone down this route booze and vinyl highlighted unknown pleasures
[80:53]enjoy division and so when do you guys think you would spin this record we've talked about
[80:58]you guys have talked about like great like dorm records if you got
[81:01]this play in your party records this doesn't strike me as one of those when do you think
[81:05]you would want to play that i think if i was frenching a girlfriend my senior year prom and
[81:10]then she left me for another guy then i'd go home and listen to this song it's a great one man that's
[81:16]so good that's hard to top i was thinking if you're having a party and you want everyone to
[81:20]go home you put this yeah get the fuck out yeah get the fuck out rob you should crank this loud
[81:28]to get your wife out of there to go pick up your daughter
[81:31]oh wait i should check my text messages nothing so that that's good it's one o'clock she's not home
[81:38]yet that's fine there's plenty of young like 17 18 year old guys that would love to take her home
[81:46]oh god but what they recommend on russell's frozen russell's frozen yep you're back russell
[81:51]good because what matt just said is going to get edited out i was hoping it does
[81:56]nope just kidding it's not going on side b they recommend a dark and stormy
[82:01]you guys had a dark and stormy before oh yeah it's a good cocktail yeah i uh i i used to have
[82:07]stormy a lot but then i was trying to just make sure that that didn't come up so i tried to pay
[82:13]it off and make sure that nobody ever brought that up ever again she said his penis looks like
[82:20]you know you know me i'm a celebrity penis guy okay remember liam neeson's picture where he
[82:25]pissed his pants and it was so low remember that picture remember when i showed you that how happy
[82:29]we were he said and i quote now let me read it for you
[82:31]what she said stormy daniels hey but just just so just so our younger like so you can you can
[82:38]actually go on the computer and pull up google and then just type things in there right and
[82:42]they'll start showing you pictures is that how it works i think the i think the youth just talk to
[82:47]their phones right or they i don't even know how it works for them she famously said that trump's
[82:52]penis looks like the mushroom character from mario kart okay she says that he that it is i mean look
[83:01]okay so first of all here's the mushroom character from uh this of course is who's the mushroom
[83:06]character this is embarrassing i don't know toad yes okay toad from mario or mario now if we look
[83:12]at toad toad has a mushroom head right here is toad this is what it guys this is what his penis
[83:18]looks like it's got a big red spot on there okay i mean that's that's the most real thing and then
[83:24]if you ever see toad from mario without a hat guess what it's his head terrified
[83:31]toad without his head is terrified all right russell go ahead what's in the drink dark and
[83:36]stormy it's two ounces of gosling's black seal rum which russell which mario character would
[83:42]you want your penis to be best described as and what the hell is there any age on the gosling's
[83:47]black seal room like that feels like a lot of advertising for rum's hard to figure out i'm
[83:51]going with uh mario 3 i'm going with the p-wing i want the raccoon tail wow the raccoon tail aaron
[83:57]what mario character would you want your penis to look like uh bowser
[84:01]wow bowser that's crazy i always thought bowser would be a great name for a dog if i were to have
[84:12]a pet that would be good matt what do you think what character uh i don't know uh
[84:17]you think waluigi maybe he's kind of long and thin you know what i mean
[84:22]the correct answer unfortunately unfortunately is chain chomp okay your penis should look like
[84:29]a chain chomp what is that the chain and then a big
[84:31]head on the front
[84:32]nothing it's not an actual character that's like a thing in the game that tries to stop you right
[84:42]oh okay well i guess it doesn't help you in mario kart 8 so we got the gosling's black seal rum
[84:46]which i'm still confused with three ounces of ginger beer three ounces this is a big drink
[84:52]white meal for garnish wow candy ginger for garnish
[84:58]that's a drink
[85:01]wow okay all right it's kind of just it's it's just a dark room it's like a rum and ginger it's
[85:08]a moscow how many of those things did you have yeah you got it yeah you got it russell so you
[85:12]made it you obviously made it with all that stuff right how much i did not have the gosling black
[85:17]seal rum the closest i could find was meyer's dark rum i used a dark rum i didn't know it was
[85:23]close enough right sure we have no idea and then the same you know and then i used a i used ginger
[85:30]beer but then what i use my sister turned me on to this and this summer we were up at the cabin
[85:36]she ordered a bottle of this lime aid instead of using limes you go lime aid and it adds like this
[85:43]very sweet taste so instead of lime on this one i went with lime aid and it was fantastic
[85:49]wow very nice very nice that's the drink who's in vinyl rob it's back wilderness
[85:54]wilderness
[85:54]all right that's you can hear peter hook's bass and that's good because the next song interzone
[86:04]is sung by peter hook this reminded me of the b-52s i love that idea the b-52s with the fun
[86:10]sucked out no joy felt to me i was looking under the dock and i saw a rock a rock lobster can we
[86:19]stop what's that the idea that this last song the b-52s with no joy is sung by peter hook and that's
[86:24]Joy is ahead of Tom Petty.
[86:26]Get the fuck out of here, right?
[86:28]Get the fuck out of here.
[86:29]This is ridiculous.
[86:30]I mean, we're going to have to start saying ahead of Weezer, you know?
[86:35]Green Day?
[86:36]Tom Petty, Wildflowers?
[86:39]What if I told you, though, that this album ends with one of the most depressing songs on the entire album?
[86:45]With the broken bottles and the whips and the laser beeps and everything?
[86:49]Let's just listen to the whole song.
[86:53]It's like the Undertaker's entrance that you've gone wrong.
[86:55]Yes, the broken bottle right there.
[86:58]It's hard to listen to, man.
[86:59]Oh, we had some good bits for this.
[87:05]This is almost disqualifying, isn't it?
[87:07]This is almost, you've gone too far, you're off the list.
[87:11]Smashing Pumpkins say, we don't even care.
[87:17]You know, they had us stolen from this, right?
[87:19]Yeah, right.
[87:20]They had this thing where they're going over the, going over a,
[87:23]roller coaster and it's just, wee, and it holds it for 30 seconds, so.
[87:27]If I saw guys cover this whole album, this would be when I'm out of there, okay?
[87:31]I will see you later.
[87:32]I am not listening to I Remember Nothing, but we're not judging the songs, okay?
[87:37]We have a popular and patented rating system.
[87:39]No, Rob, you know what we are judging?
[87:41]The parents that allow their daughter and nieces to be out until 2.30 in the morning in New York City.
[87:46]Yeah, I'm judging that for sure.
[87:48]Judging it.
[87:49]Oh, yeah.
[87:51]Rob, I'm on your side.
[87:52]I think it's okay.
[87:52]Okay.
[87:53]I don't know what to do.
[87:56]I mean, you're creating, hey, you're creating some independent.
[87:59]You know what's crazy?
[88:01]You're creating memories.
[88:02]Think of the memories she may or may not have.
[88:04]Jenny and I knew we were going to this party.
[88:06]She asked us, we said, okay, we talked about the ticket.
[88:08]We talked about the drinking stuff.
[88:10]At no point did Jenny and I look at each other and be like, should we set a curfew?
[88:13]Like, it never even occurred to us to do it, but it is my wife's daughter because she's like, oh my God, Dad, this party.
[88:20]And I said, what?
[88:21]And she goes, it got moved back an hour.
[88:23]I'm going to be so tired tomorrow.
[88:25]Oh, my God.
[88:26]I was like, yep, you're getting old.
[88:29]Now, we're not getting old.
[88:31]We're just getting started.
[88:32]We got a double tonight.
[88:33]Is this a rolling well-toned perfect at 211?
[88:38]Is this a rolling bone?
[88:40]Should have been higher up on the list.
[88:41]200, 300.
[88:42]No, that's the wrong way.
[88:44]That's lower on the list.
[88:45]That's a higher number.
[88:45]We're going to lower numbers.
[88:47]Or is this a rolling well-grown?
[88:49]Okay.
[88:50]Well-grown?
[88:51]Well-grown.
[88:53]It's a plant in your garden.
[88:54]Okay.
[88:55]It's perfectly grown.
[88:56]It should be lower than this.
[88:59]Just like a plant when it grows roots is lower in the ground.
[89:02]And of course, now my daughter is calling.
[89:04]So let's see what's going on.
[89:05]Okay.
[89:06]Russell, what do you think?
[89:07]Rolling well-toned, rolling bone, or rolling grown?
[89:09]Guys, I'm going to say this is rolling grown for me.
[89:12]This was one, you guys know me.
[89:15]When I come into these, I'm expecting not to like this album.
[89:18]I'm expecting not to like it.
[89:20]I heard disorder at the beginning.
[89:21]I was like, oh, my.
[89:22]This.
[89:23]I might.
[89:23]I might be able to get into this.
[89:24]I actually heard New Dawn Fades, and I thought there was kind of like a guitar or bass riff
[89:29]or something that I enjoyed, but I just can't get behind this being one of the top 210 albums
[89:34]of all time.
[89:35]There's way too many bands we haven't heard of.
[89:37]And like, you know, I've been going through this thing when I'm buying these albums.
[89:41]Like, maybe I can do all 500.
[89:43]Maybe that's the goal is to get all 500.
[89:45]But I'm like, I don't think I want to pay.
[89:48]I can't pay $35 for this album new.
[89:50]I could probably pay $550.
[89:53]worn and fine as they call it at the record store but yeah i don't know this this to me seems way
[89:59]too high russell there was a guy that was selling the old list yes the oldest we saw that yeah for
[90:06]like 19 000 or something he had all 500 albums and then something like that it was something
[90:12]and then they changed the list and so then all you know i think it was 181 or something like
[90:17]that's the difference the point is like to have like all these great albums yeah if aaron comes
[90:23]over and he's like hey what records do you have and he starts looking he's like damn you got joy
[90:26]division like it would be a killer list yeah right but this is rolling grown this is way too high on
[90:33]the list i don't i don't really want to listen to this again but aaron the the description of b52s
[90:40]without joy is spot on it's the best best description we've had for a band or an album
[90:46]and if you take the joy out of the
[90:47]b52s what do you got what do you got so i'm rolling to listen yeah listen my kid said she's
[90:55]on her way home everything's fine and then she said you know how like money is just like something
[90:59]we made up i'm like i think everything's fine i'm not worried aaron rolling well-toned rolling
[91:05]boner rolling grown what do you think hey man who took all the baloney i see green and you see green
[91:12]we don't see the same color when she comes home i'm gonna offer an almond joy
[91:17]if she takes it i'm gonna know that's my test
[91:20]yeah i don't i don't enjoy these nights where that where i have to say the album was rolling
[91:26]grown but to me it's rolling grown i know that people really love this band and so props if this
[91:31]is your band it's not for me and i think there's other stuff we're gonna hear that should be
[91:34]higher on the list so rolling grown what do you think the chancellor of the portis head guy is
[91:39]gonna be like okay time to look at my second favorite band joy division we're gonna listen
[91:43]to a podcast about that although this one we came with the knowledge i gotta say matt rolling well
[91:47]the boner rolling grown i'm gonna say it's well-grown as you said um should be way i just
[91:54]feels like this this is on here because joy division uh you know influence people and this
[92:00]is their only album so it's got to be somewhere right and so i don't know i don't think this is
[92:04]a great album i think their music is probably great and like their innovation and what they're
[92:09]doing and you know the pivot that they made from punk to where they are now is probably great but
[92:14]is this a great like album no i don't think so
[92:17]i think it is so i'm gonna give it a rolling well-grown unfortunately you guys are incorrect
[92:22]again no this gets a rolling stripped down stripped down hey yeah we got the punk sound
[92:29]it's stripped down almost all the albums i said it before almost all the albums we had never heard
[92:33]of before this list sounds like this album so it's got to be important it's got to be a big deal next
[92:38]up we have nina simone and wild is the win now what you don't realize is that nina simone did
[92:45]much better than her two sisters in her family and she did much better than her two sisters in
[92:47]her family the pinta simone and the santa marina
[92:50]oh i blew it
[92:52]santa maria simone
[92:59]if you love
[93:04]do you think somebody on the santa maria is wearing the buckle hat and they're like oh
[93:13]shit i took the wrong boat back did it you know what i mean hey rob just
[93:17]heads up for our vegas trip coming up i am bringing that those ice packs so you will get
[93:21]to check out my freezer burnt dumplings it's time to say goodbye
[93:29]you know after aaron was done waving to all those kids in the hospital
[93:39]he went to buy a game of risk at the mall yeah so he was at the uh he was at the games
