Ray Charles: The Birth of Soul (1991)
[00:00]man is not here and i would say more about that he is uh he's somewhere but aaron just told us
[00:05]something insane aaron just told us something incredible now russ and i of course are having
[00:08]a very normal conversation about the roaring 20s and who was popular then okay and i pointed out
[00:13]as you do you know the 20s was boring because the one thing on wikipedia for it is the charleston
[00:18]okay famously the most boring dance a dance that's never come back nobody's ever done the
[00:23]charleston except as a joke about the charleston okay and aaron said well i want to get off twitter
[00:29]except what aaron why do you use twitter for for weather because daniel swain weather west
[00:35]when he posts a new blog about the long-term outlook for what's going on with precipitation
[00:40]in california that's where i find it rob maeda posts about what's going on with fire weather
[00:44]this weekend it's a red flag warning this weekend you gotta you know this stuff this is where you
[00:48]find doing this where i'm making fun of you and then you say it's for fires relative humidity is
[00:53]low winds are high but it might be a marginal event because we've got oh my god it's not going
[00:58]to be bad can i tell you this my around here my uncle just ran in sweating around here relative
[01:05]humidity so i there's some of the most human people i know if you had to bet a million dollars
[01:11]you think aaron and i have ever used the same source for weather like ever like has he ever
[01:16]used weather.com or not no and have i ever used anything but weather.com i'm gonna search hashtag
[01:23]rain and see if anything comes up i wonder if it's gonna rain
[01:27]you
[01:28]so many great climate scientists on twitter but they've had to move to threads or blue sky or
[01:34]whatever i haven't tried it yet i still stay with twitter climate science in quotes i put that in
[01:37]quotes um i do like the idea that aaron's like i want to hear about the weather but i want to hear
[01:43]about like the philosophy of the weather like the weather generally i don't need to actually know
[01:47]like go outside that's what you know you live somewhere russell where the weather is really
[01:50]nice when you get your fucking weather off twitter he just opens it up and goes it's pretty nice
[01:54]outside i will admit a lot of the weather stuff goes like well over my head i don't know if i'm
[01:57]going to be able to do that i don't know if i'm going to be able to do that i don't know if i'm going to
[01:57]over my head like they're really into the air and what look at the atmosphere man they're like
[02:03]you know the the atmospheric pressure and the low cold fronts and the high pressure fronts and all
[02:09]that stuff and the collisions i mean i don't totally get it but it tells me if it's gonna
[02:14]temperature and precipitation that's what i care about those are important well you guys know i'm
[02:20]in the to the dew point so we get some dew point discussion on there it's all you know you're into
[02:25]the dew point and you know what's sick is that i didn't know that i didn't know that i didn't know
[02:27]that i didn't know that i hate my life god my life sucks this whole thing sucks this is a big
[02:33]part of my life and it sucks speaking of your life sucking rob uh congrats on waking up on time i know
[02:38]i know tonight was one of your i had it's so late i had to take a nap before the recording but i just
[02:43]want to say congrats for waking up and not ruining it for all of us in honor of matt being here
[02:47]tonight i did the i the watch alarm where i put on my watch and i got the alarm and i gotta say
[02:53]i have been the last couple nights putting on my watch to track my sleep
[02:56]okay my my uh nutrition guy's like let's track your sleep we're gonna see not only much sleep
[03:01]you get but how much deep sleep how much rem sleep i highly recommend you don't ever ever do
[03:06]this it has turned my life into a nightmare because i have always told myself i get eight
[03:10]hours of sleep i'm getting eight maybe eight and a half nine hours of sleep every night
[03:14]actual sleep six and a half hours i wake up when you wake up and you look at your watch and it says
[03:20]you've gotten six and a half hours of sleep your day is ruined you are tired you know you're screwed
[03:25]it sucks
[03:26]don't do it some things are just better left untracked okay it's true just it's better not
[03:31]to know by the way aaron was talking about how most of the weather was over his head i just want
[03:35]to do a quick shout out to somebody whose weather was not as far above his head who passed away
[03:43]while we were on a break and that of course is the kembe mutombo oh yeah the scat man all right
[03:51]to the kembe mutombo who
[03:54]is now asking in heaven who will sex mutombo so my big guy up there who will sex you indeed
[04:04]everyone listening at home is waving the finger with us right i i'm sorry to my wife who i
[04:11]shouldn't divulge this about her but she texted me that morning and she said out of the blue she
[04:17]just said now i'm thinking about all the people who will never get to sex mutombo oh my god this
[04:21]is how much her brain is broken
[04:24]it means nobody's gonna get a comb in the house of mutombo again huh no that's right get it rob
[04:35]that's a joke listen there's a joke right there i gotta say i of course i think we can be immature
[04:44]and say this i would love to watch my wife have sex with somebody sounds great okay but i gotta
[04:50]say if i saw her have sex with the kembe mutombo that might take me some time to recover from
[04:54]like i would just have to think about that like i'm looking at my wife this woman i love
[04:58]we got married we made a commitment to each other and now she's having sex with the mutombo i'd be
[05:05]like what this is a joke coming true in my life do you think afterwards he would lay down on the
[05:10]bed and like hold her up and like scream like when he upset the supersonic in the playoff
[05:15]over the one scene
[05:18]yeah
[05:20]yeah
[05:20]yeah
[05:24]that literally is like me meeting my wife was like the eight
[05:26]getting over on a one seed he peeks at you when you get out that extended lens
[05:31]rob it's kind of going for the zoom in and he gives you the finger wag
[05:34]we're all finger wagging for the people that are
[05:39]we're all a lot of finger was there any wrist motion this finger wag or is it all finger
[05:46]it was i think i think you can't just do finger oh i'm getting tired oh my hand hurts
[05:50]i know i gotta put in the rest
[05:54]i don't know i think i think the isolated finger is pretty good when aaron is moving just this figure
[06:00]like that i hate it but i also love it okay rob you would have been able to see in person if you
[06:04]were over in the corner shooting the threes while he was uh working the paint at your place right
[06:09]yeah can you imagine if mutombo was your doctor and you had to get your prostate check you'd be
[06:13]like wow i'm going to the guy i'm going to the number one guy to check my prostate right now
[06:19]you can line two people up and check their prostates at once
[06:25]that'd be the same super efficient yeah yeah
[06:33]i'm sorry to the cammy mutombo's family who i'm sure is listening
[06:42]i we might need to give a beck did a better apology yeah oh no okay
[06:49]out there to the man who we definitely would want being our doctor if in fact we had trouble
[06:56]going to the bathroom maintaining the steady stream we went to see our doctor
[07:01]dr m tumble we go in he says he takes out first of all he takes out the biggest thing of vaseline
[07:11]you've ever seen in your life he has to have a gigantic amount of vaseline on that finger
[07:15]and sure enough he checks your prostate and you are
[07:19]convinced that you've gone to the right place unfortunately that place god this song was long
[07:25]as hell isn't it unfortunately that place is no more the camby mutombo mount mutombo
[07:31]we salute you and all you've contributed to the beginning of this show which i swear to god it's
[07:38]a weeknight i was trying to get this done early and i've just done a 10-minute bit about
[07:42]all mutombo checking my prostate you never thought it could be done but rob did it
[07:49]in 2020 four friends decided to listen to every one of the greatest 500 albums is decided by
[07:55]rolling stone magazine this result in a text chain that celebrated music excoriated the order and led
[07:59]us to make this podcast we are far from experts we promise to do almost no research all opinions
[08:03]are our own unless you disagree please sit back and enjoy beck did it better we are all the way up
[08:08]to album i put 2010 that can't be are we in the future i think it's 210 right
[08:15]in the year 2000
[08:19]if we're at 2010 we went too far are we done that's why matt's not on he's like you guys were
[08:24]done yeah oh in episode 2010 matt makes a comment in the first 20 minutes of the episode
[08:30]guys you know rolling stones is gonna do that too they're gonna be like actually we've added
[08:38]another we've added another 1 600 albums so you're never gonna be finished finally i get
[08:44]to listen to trout mask replica uh and from 1991 uh question mark
[08:49]it's ray charles with the birth of soul 1991 birth of soul great what is this a history of
[08:55]south korea is this a shoe coffee table book oh oh my god oh my god aaron came over the top you
[09:05]know what i got anti-motumboed i got dunked on vince carter have you gotten dunked on yet aaron
[09:13]at basketball no fortunately no one has dunked i think there's two guys who can dunk but they
[09:18]typically don't okay
[09:19]i was in one game in rochester where a guy was coming at me and i was like
[09:22]look he has in his eyes it's very weird i've never seen that before and then i was like oh
[09:27]he's gonna dunk on me he's about to dunk i was like this is awesome this is gonna be the one
[09:31]time he's gonna dunk and i kind of stepped out of the way otherwise i would have gotten dunked on
[09:34]because what can i do i can't possibly stop somebody because i could i could jump and touch
[09:39]their belly button that's not gonna stop them i was i was out with uh some some st olaf graduates
[09:44]the other night some people that went to college with us and uh they we were talking
[09:49]some of them said they really enjoyed when we relived coach causes win loss
[09:54]fans like that fans you know what's sad is that the majority of our podcast listeners do love us
[10:01]talking about our division three basketball coach how he did can i do an alternate joke to my opener
[10:05]by the way bring it no one's gonna stop uh ray charles with the birth of soul guys i can tell
[10:11]you that any birth that takes two hours and 20 minutes is either good or bad or normal i can't
[10:15]remember it was so long ago i have no idea how long a birth takes
[10:19]oh why did i do the alternative i think you were headed down the right path the punchline just got
[10:25]don't bring that don't bring that punchline into the house of matabo tonight rob listen
[10:30]okay i've got uh two guys here do i do this after the song listen uh let's get right to the radio
[10:35]okay let's turn on the radio and see what is going on a kid has their sound machine on with
[10:42]the door open it's so loud oh i would freak out i couldn't possibly no i'd have to quit what i can't
[10:49]i've told you i can't deal with white noise anymore we don't have to get into it it's not
[10:52]funny i just can't that aaron that would unless as you know if it's the miami sound machine i can
[10:59]maybe but rhythm motion that's a lyric for your song come on baby
[11:06]i'm more of a more of a c and c bound sound machine guy what's that russell c and c sound
[11:18]machine oh
[11:19]that's the miami white noise machine you know my dad was in the my uncle was in the miami sound
[11:32]machine you know a party played the tiger roar that might have got me aroused yeah it was really
[11:41]good yeah uh there's no way that's the first time rob's done that that voice no he's practiced that
[11:47]for sure listen let's turn on the radio
[11:49]okay we are talking about ray charles and wonder if k-rob has a song that's similar
[11:53]okay or maybe he picked a little bit of each song off this album okay all 53 all 53 songs maybe i
[12:00]did a little mashup okay for a treat yeah it's a couple of gigabytes big but i think it'll be fine
[12:05]let's turn on the radio and see what's on k-rob k-r-o-b what's up everybody welcome to k-rob k-r-o-b
[12:14]you know life is day after day a dull great void but sometimes i wonder
[12:19]what if i could pick someone else's life to live oh yeah sometimes at night i start to fantasize
[12:25]what if i could live someone's life whose life would i want to lead if i got to pick well who
[12:34]would it be that's why i say yes i pray to be russell's nephew for a day oh yes imagine russell
[12:43]takes you to the store he buys a rookie giannis onto campo
[12:49]and he takes you to that wrestling show then you're both watching cody rose that's why i say
[12:55]look at this awesome shirt he gave to me it's got a picture of ted db i see
[13:08]then i listen to my dad's advice oh don't ask russell why he doesn't make that woman his wife
[13:14]oh that's my dad because i'm curious
[13:19]been together long enough why is she not engaged to him what does it mean when you say he lives in
[13:27]sin that's why i say yeah i pray to be russell's nephew for a day when you want to hear about the
[13:35]russell laughed more at the beginning of that song than at the end i noticed
[13:38]took a sharp unexpected turn actually you guys will appreciate this it was by one nephew
[13:45]his birthday the other day and i actually got him stuff and i shipped it first time i've ever
[13:52]shipped anything second time i've ever shipped anything other than when i shipped those t-shirts
[13:56]to our top tiered fans wait so you you went to uh i went to the store i went to a fedex
[14:03]and i walked up and i just put the stuff on there and the lady did all the work for me it was
[14:08]it was amazing it's pretty nice right but i i shipped him we'll see i got him some panini
[14:13]prism basketball cards and then an aunt edwards replica jersey and anthony edwards blue timber
[14:19]wolves jersey that's that's pretty good this is you're just proving the song correct that's
[14:23]incredibly good listen this is beck did it better okay we've got one good uncle and two other guys
[14:28]here to talk about ray charles the birth of soul unfortunately matt is not here he's in the main
[14:34]part of the united states which ironically is maine one of the least main parts okay it's right
[14:42]there
[14:43]uh i've got russell in minneapolis russell how are you doing
[14:46]rob tonight's like that night in vegas when i say stop don't you move that peg
[14:51]and when i say go just shake a leg we're doing the mess around
[14:58]one of the few songs that mentions barbecue okay there should be more honestly there's
[15:05]definitely not enough yeah um don't say it rob don't say it
[15:13]you can talk about your chips and their sour cream just the wrong kind of barbecue
[15:18]okay whoa i'm coming back i'm coming back is that the parody that failed tonight
[15:22]there were quite a few barbecue chips yeah barbecue like oh i love barbecue
[15:28]barbecue chips is what he's talking about the things that honestly taste at least like barbecue
[15:33]like if you only knew barbecue through barbecue chips then you actually ate it like a texas
[15:37]barbecue you'd be bummed out you'd be like well it's not nearly as salty and brown like barbecue
[15:42]just to me tastes brown it does i'm right it doesn't it tastes brown barbecue chips chips
[15:50]yeah i would have said like red like like a brick red okay russell barbecue chips what color do they
[15:57]taste like to you barbecue chips yeah where you been russell i got nothing i have no about this
[16:07]sour cream and onion russell what color do they taste correct answer green thank you yep i think
[16:12]the answer is just whatever they come in in in the pringles can right that's it the can doesn't
[16:17]lie you're like think of it like if if sour cream and onion pringles can was orange you would think
[16:23]they are orange no orange is original we all know that orange is wait what is oh no orange is cheese
[16:30]russell's right my taste flavor color theory is true it's just the pringle color yeah it's just
[16:39]the pringles color i was wondering boy that's wild if you could only have one flavor of chip the rest
[16:46]of your life what are you picking i know it's gonna piss you off russell but i'm gonna say
[16:49]cool ranch i got it written on my parody song list russell hates cool ranch i i love cool
[16:54]ranch i think cool ranch is such a fun flavor love it aaron what would you have just one kind
[16:58]of chip i well i i think i would have said salt and vinegar uh but i might have to go back to
[17:04]cool ranch now that you mentioned it but i my my gut said salt and vinegar salt and vinegar is great
[17:09]until you have about three yeah and you're like god damn god damn my lips are full of cracks like
[17:15]they're full of cracks you've never even thought until you had salt and vinegar chips aaron you
[17:19]and i could get stranded on an island together and like they would drop us down two sets of snacks
[17:23]like once a year and we could divide them evenly we would have no arguments fine right yeah i'd be
[17:28]like you take yours i'll take mine really you think that's true i think so i think there'd be
[17:32]no overlap yeah i think we're okay let's try it okay it's a a bag of popcorn with nutritional
[17:38]yeast on it who's taking that
[17:39]that's me right here wow russell's right uh i've got aaron in california now aaron aaron was telling
[17:48]me this actually aaron's wife at gmail.com just bought a new handbag and came home and showed it
[17:54]to aaron now of course listen this touching my wife's purse one of the worst feelings of all time
[18:01]anytime she hands me a purse i want to hold it for no more than three seconds
[18:04]okay i if like to torture me you could have me just hold my wife's purse i hate doing it
[18:09]and you know what i think it's from i think growing up i think and i think all men have this
[18:14]you would start digging around in your mom's purse and find tampons and the realization would blast
[18:19]your brain like a million hot sons and you'd be like is this a funny intro oh no i got off track
[18:25]a little bit is this a joke one or the dirty one so aaron's uh this is actually the clean one
[18:29]aaron's aaron's wife said you might need to go see someone rob is this the surprise this is my
[18:34]handbag but it's not really my style per se and i was like well it's pronounced purse that's pretty
[18:41]funny i don't know i feel like and i feel better i feel like i i got something off my chest i think
[18:47]i relived some childhood drama that's good i'd say so rob i didn't listen to this whole time is
[18:52]this where i can ask you to bend over and see you shake your shell feather or is that no not quite
[18:56]different okay did make this one no not quite okay but if you know what i wish there's a little
[19:00]more country and western on this that'd be where could i go to hear that
[19:04]uh listen let's get let's not mess around okay let's not get distracted
[19:07]okay let's get right into the voicemail
[19:11]i was hoping that it would be like with man not here that this would be a really short episode
[19:21]and i realized no nothing's gonna change it's not gonna be any shorter than normal it's hard
[19:26]to say who drives the length of the episodes like where where could it come from we're all
[19:30]looking for the guy okay we're all trying to figure out who it is
[19:33]the mystery
[19:34]at my work we are a part of something called music league which is with spotify where each
[19:42]week there's a different theme and your school system is a song that you think fits that theme
[19:48]and then you vote on which song is the best so for example it could be like the best one hit
[19:53]wonders or uh break solo when somebody breaks away from a group and has a solo tour well we
[20:00]work at a school and so this year this round we're going to be doing a solo tour and we're going to
[20:03]we're doing different departments in our school and this one week was science and i thought of
[20:11]rob because somebody submitted particle man by they might be giant so what i'm asking you is
[20:18]which song would you submit for the theme of science class wow i you know i i did a music
[20:26]league this summer i re-optimized i re-optimized spotify so i could
[20:32]be part of a music league i did not win can you explain what a music league is i don't i don't
[20:38]understand i was very confused so you you're in a league with people the week has a theme
[20:42]when you submit your songs you submit them blind so everybody submits two songs you don't know who
[20:48]submitted which song and then you vote you don't get to vote for your own song you vote for the
[20:52]other songs to see which song sort of captured the vibe the best and you can hand out your points so
[20:57]then you vote blind and then you you see who ends up with the most points at the end of the so it's
[21:01]like a fantasy league for picking music uh yeah yeah kind of but it happens on a weekly basis and
[21:08]you know you get to vote on your friends submissions it's kind of like one of those
[21:12]board games where people people turn in answers and you got to vote for the best answer that goes
[21:17]with the fun question or something like that so do you think that it's possible that one week is
[21:22]going to be scary as spooky as songs it's got to be a good chance it's a good chance i would
[21:28]dominate that one yeah aaron is there
[21:30]is there ever a part though like it's got to be frustrating when you're the person who never gets
[21:36]votes on your song choices right yeah i mean of course like i think there's i i joined a league
[21:42]of people who i didn't actually it was like friends of friends and so there actually turned
[21:46]out to have been well replacements guy was in there and uh i got in i didn't do great in the
[21:51]league but then it turned out there had been like some drama in days past like before i got on about
[21:57]like people you know oh i think you're voting for someone else's songs because you know and it's like
[22:01]you know you don't want your messages because you think you know whose songs are whose and yeah
[22:05]there was a little of that a little that kind of stuff going on and people and people vote for the
[22:09]shitty songs because they want to win and they don't want to give points to someone that could
[22:13]be competing with kind of game the system a bit it's taken russell three seconds to become a
[22:18]conspiracy theorist about here it's spotify league yeah he's like well i mean i had to rejoin spotify
[22:25]just for that speaking of conspiracy theorists i had to rejoin spotify just for that speaking of
[22:26]conspiracy theorists i had tried to be on spotify for a long time but i had to do it because you
[22:29]can't do it from other streaming services god i god i need your job so bad oh it's crazy i need
[22:35]your job we do appreciate you finally getting joe roken over the hump on that
[22:40]can you imagine if you had to like tell your wife like listen i can't do the dishes tonight
[22:45]it is league night i am doing spotify league i have tried to go through this music i gotta listen
[22:50]all this music i gotta vote well you submit them asynchronously it's like you submit them by
[22:54]thursday and then you have until
[22:56]monday to score them and then you submit against it's over the course of what that reminds me last
[23:01]week's list best songs about synchronicity and everybody's like god i gotta i gotta put this in
[23:05]first and so the caller was asking about the best was it science class theme science class theme
[23:12]okay and so what do you guys think about science i will go last as the professional science teacher
[23:18]oh wow because i've got lots of ideas but uh russell what do you think what's your what's
[23:22]your god i think you guys will remember this one uh this is one of my all-time favorite
[23:26]this is from college it's actually the song we used to play to get us hyped up for geophysics
[23:30]it's the galaxy song by monty python
[23:33]you know this one people are stupid i don't think so but of course it was monty python
[23:41]you always gotta let it go
[23:42]just remember that you're standing on a planet that's evolving
[23:56]they'll say something like oh goddamn you guys think that's funny that's an appropriate word
[24:17]there so this is the galaxy song uh the pleasure principal and i he was actually my roommate i
[24:23]believe junior year and we had signed up for a class called geophysics yeah and i believe it was
[24:29]because rob had told us the year before this was the easiest science credit to get at st olaf college
[24:34]that can't be true i took that class pass fail i chose to pass because i heard it was so hard
[24:39]we heard it was so easy we took it and it was the hardest class we had a rock lab where you had to
[24:45]memorize like a hundred types of rocks and the day before the midterm where you had to memorize the
[24:50]rocks i was like there's this is not my life
[24:53]i called my mom and said i have to drop a class it was the only class i ever dropped
[24:58]i went to drop it and the professor was the whiz bob jacobo yeah right and i walked in to drop it
[25:06]and he looked at me and he smiled he said you're getting out aren't you oh my god
[25:10]you're getting out aren't you he holds up a rock and says nice yeah pardon my quartz
[25:18]pardon my quartz i remember russell coming back to his room after that
[25:23]you're pepping your step after dropping oh there's nothing so sweet as dropping class god that was a
[25:27]good feeling i love dropping you when you when you finally give up on something and just let it
[25:32]and you let it go it feels so good it feels so good actually it's like matt seeing this episode
[25:38]come out and know that he didn't have to stay up he's like oh yeah this is the greatest feeling
[25:41]and it's it's what's crazy is the pleasure principal who was much smarter than i a much
[25:46]more intelligent a better student everything he i think actually ended up dropping it too he did
[25:50]not make it through the semester i don't think so but rob you were the one who was the one who
[25:53]you were in that class you made i must have made it through well i did because i had to take it to
[25:57]get my license so i took it pass fail and it turns out i have a cousin who's in the same field as bob
[26:02]jacobo and i said oh i took a class from the guy and she goes oh my god that guy's a real asshole
[26:06]oh you do know him that's crazy uh that is a class famously where i was just talking telling
[26:14]my kids about this where i didn't want to go to class one day yet we had friends that were in the
[26:18]class that we wanted to go to lunch with so we skipped the class and then sat on a bench that
[26:23]outside the class and waited for it to dismiss so we could meet the guys and go to lunch and i was
[26:27]like i was in my head i was like well you're a fucking idiot this is the dumbest thing you could
[26:31]possibly do in your dumb piece of shit but i was just like yeah i'll keep doing this hey rob will
[26:36]you promise to bleep something out if i say it of course wink this is gonna have to be though
[26:43]yeah of course russell i went on a date is make love to you oh no russell now wait a minute before
[26:53]come on do i have to bleep it out i can already tell i'm not gonna want to bleep it out so bad
[26:58]oh i went on a date aaron is how this story is starting right i know this story is gonna go
[27:03]i mean anywhere the possibilities are endless it's gonna be great
[27:06]oh they're gonna be great okay i once went on a date with a lady
[27:10]hello everybody this is rob from the future with some terrible terrible news
[27:18]i have been asked to edit out the
[27:23]very short story that was very very funny okay russell's a gentleman he does not want the story
[27:30]to be out there but i am going to tell you it was one of the funniest things i ever heard it
[27:36]was not long it was only about a five second story and it made me laugh very hard so what
[27:41]i'm going to do is i'm going to put in our reaction and this will be the great
[27:45]mystery of all time this is up there with the pyramids the sphinx uh why why do your
[27:53]balls turn different colors as you get older it's one of those great mysteries of the world
[27:57]i'm sorry i can't play it but i did promise russell and fulfilling my promise as a friend
[28:02]and as a brand new member of the promise keepers which i just joined i haven't read a lot about it
[28:06]but i think it's a good idea so let's get back to the show and hear our reaction to probably one of
[28:11]the greatest stories of all time that none of you will ever ever hear unless you send me a text over
[28:18]the back line i can just tell you you'll never know wink okay edit that part out and we'll see you next time
[28:23]out siri edit that part
[28:25]i was not prepared
[28:44]we can't we can't
[28:53]episode 210 it can't be downhill
[28:56]it's all downhill from here it's never gonna get any better
[28:59]i mean that took a turn that was so sharp and did you think of him during the act
[29:12]oh we gotta move on i'm not saying anything anymore
[29:23]how do we carry on from here
[29:26]i don't even know where i am i mean we're talking about science science class who cares anymore
[29:34]aaron what would you be submitting for the science class uh fantasy music league i was thinking it
[29:40]has to be something from dr funkenstein so i had i actually had to look it up because i don't remember
[29:45]the the discography perfectly so it should either be gaming on you from the clones of dr funkenstein
[29:52]or bop gun which is from funken teleki versus the placebo syndrome so one of those has got to be if
[30:02]you're going to do some science you got to have dr funkenstein involved so okay what was the song
[30:06]you wanted you wanted bop gun or gaming on you oh gaming on you i put gaming on you i don't know
[30:11]what's going on my typing something seems to be wrong all right here we go gaming on you but i
[30:15]think if you want to learn some science it's got to be from the from dr funkenstein also this album
[30:21]cover
[30:21]also this album cover
[30:22]it's a crazy album cover yeah yeah i mean so if you want some science these guys were doing science
[30:29]back in the late 70s early 80s wow this you know what i gotta admit if i went into a class and this
[30:36]was playing i'd be like i think i could learn this yeah funk is all about learning man it's
[30:42]all about math funk is very organized i i you know what i should send you an episode of a podcast
[30:50]where we talk about the first funk songs a lot of people don't know about the first funk songs
[30:51]a lot of people like that actually i'd love to check that out aaron now why did you pick this
[30:57]for science again you just wanted to pick some parliament no because the parliament because one
[31:03]of the characters in parliament was dr funkenstein so i feel like dr funkenstein probably knew some
[31:07]science but also yeah parliament was always going to space and they were talking about
[31:12]you know extraterrestrial beings and all that that's all sciencey so i'm gonna love it parliament
[31:19]now of course you guys are incorrect the answer of course is they might be giants now you might
[31:24]say oh are you going to pick a song off of here particle man which you already heard about particle
[31:29]man is not actually good that's my favorite song right real no real fans don't care for that song
[31:36]they've heard it too many times don't like it okay so you could pick for example a song about
[31:40]evolution called my brother the ape okay or you could pick a song uh roy g biv about the colors of
[31:48]the uh rainbow but i'm gonna actually go on an album the same album as uh i don't know what else
[31:55]you guys would know off this album but from apollo 13 where it's all about different mammals
[32:01]the song called mammals
[32:03]and it's a song all about what makes mammals a mammal
[32:13]very high metabolism
[32:16]and then list different mammals do you know every word to this
[32:21]mammals their names are called they raise a paw the bat the cat dolphin and dog
[32:30]no not really all right so that would be what i would pick is of course they might be giants
[32:36]for uh the science forget dolphins or mammals oh aaron are crypto are cryptids mammals oh my god
[32:44]they have to be bigfoot do bigfoots have nipples aaron is that what you're wondering
[32:47]is that what you're wondering guys we got to get to roll it going i got to talk about this
[32:52]we'll have to see if our if our listener submits any of our songs if she wins any points for him
[32:57]right yeah maybe she's trying to use us to get i mean she'd be thinking way ahead at this point
[33:02]because this isn't coming out until yeah oh this week is this week is masturbating to cryptids week
[33:07]what song is going to win this one uh rolling going aaron how's it rolling going with you
[33:13]it's rolling going good we had swordfish for dinner tonight i don't think i've ever

[34:12]really excited i've never i don't think i've ever actually had i don't think i've ever actually had
[34:15]swordfish maybe at a restaurant but we were out at uh the fish market today wallace and i went to
[34:21]go get some flowers for his mom and then we stopped by the fish market and i said would you have some
[34:26]fish for dinner and he's not been great about he's really picky it's been hard to figure out what he
[34:30]will eat but he saw the sign that said swordfish and he was like i think i would like to try swordfish
[34:35]and i was like let's do it man and i put that thing on the grill and you guys know i think i've told you
[34:41]mayonnaise is the key to good fish on the grill yes so slather that thing with mayonnaise coat it
[34:46]with some mayonnaise i was very excited i've never it's it's kind of foolproof like it's really not

[35:06]look this is the worst piece they're like no no no this is the best we're getting you the best cut
[35:10]it's just the nose you're like i don't think this is the best that's a good question russell i didn't
[35:15]see the nose at the fish shop i don't think they're getting whole fish and breaking them down
[35:19]there it's not it's not that it's not that serious my god i had a problem with that where i peed in
[35:23]the amazon i got one of those whole fish you know what i mean oh god i just i want to this even the
[35:30]thought of this makes me ill all right we could move on go ahead aaron sorry i had a week of
[35:35]covid last week and i i'm pretty sure i'm almost certain so i went out for trivia last week i felt
[35:40]fine and then i woke up in the morning and i've had covid and then one of my trivia partners got
[35:45]covid so i do need to give it back did a better apology i i think this is the first time i've
[35:50]actually transmitted the disease to someone else and i want to apologize to don don missed the
[35:57]school field trip this week oh it's very sad you did don a favor field trip does a better podcast
[36:02]yeah i was healed up went back at least we've progressed enough to where aaron can admit it
[36:06]like four years ago if he admitted it he would have been the scoundrel of all scoundrels
[36:10]yeah i'm owning up to it so uh but i have been sleeping on the couch uh which is going fine for
[36:16]the most part and uh it's fine it's fine it's fine i you know what i should say too i only you
[36:23]know i think you do feel guilty with covid because i transmit it to a person once i had okay so i had
[36:31]this bat that i had to get from a place in china okay to a different place in china the floor was
[36:40]incredibly wet all right i could not believe how wet this place where i was buying food was it was
[36:46]insane i trip my bat falls into a pangolin it's crazy no way it's crazy i told i told people to
[36:56]wear a mask when they ride that peloton it has been an extraordinarily long time since we chatted
[37:01]i feel like i don't have a lot of exciting stuff going on in my life other than eating swordfish
[37:05]and you guys have been doing exciting things so i would love to hear how it's rolling going with
[37:09]russell
[37:10]rolling going things are going good i actually was on a scouting trip we do a uh vegas trip

[37:20]rob cue the music uh i'm gonna have something vegasy don't you oh well you know i've got
[37:27]i do actually there were some vegas yeah i've got i mean
[37:32]yeah this is perfect
[37:35]yeah so i go to vegas
[37:40]interesting thing was going on down there see if you guys would be excited about this
[37:43]i was down there for the implosion of the tropicana they were imploding
[37:48]one of the old casinos that they were blowing up they don't do that very often on the strip
[37:52]it was at 2 30 in the morning on tuesday night the question is would you guys have
[38:00]stayed up to go see the implosion of the tropicana
[38:03]i can sit here and say that i would have but i know that by the time 1 a.m hits in las vegas

[38:29]doing so the answer is no russell you are a gambling warrior it's true oh i love i gambled
[38:34]till about two in the morning and then you know what vegas is so damn big though like when you
[38:40]watch it that's not the way vegas works right like you gotta walk walking a block in vegas takes you
[38:45]25 minutes right so yeah and you can't just see any part of the sky they got buildings in the way
[38:50]so i ended up watching it from my room on the 46th floor and i could kind of see it but i was
[38:55]blocked by a building but they actually lit off fireworks for about 10-15 minutes before the
[39:00]implosion and then you could kind of hear the vibrations of the implosion but that's all people
[39:05]were talking about for the whole time leading up to that night was the implosion of the tropicana now
[39:10]russell big deal more importantly than the implosion how did you do gambling did you clean
[39:15]up or what okay rob uh the first few nights i lost a little money the third the third night i came

[41:21]and go on rob how's it going with you i am getting hyped for vegas i'll tell you that right now oh i
[41:25]had one more question for you guys sitting there with one of the dealers this was not back this was
[41:29]another dealer and he was great i tipped him a lot of money he was a great dealer super fun he was
[41:33]fist pounding me every time i would bet for him and win we had a good rapport
[41:37]at one point he looks at me and we're having fun he goes
[41:40]how old are you and i was like oh god damn this is not really a good question right yeah
[41:47]where are you going with this and so i tell him and he looks at me and smiles he goes
[41:50]do you dye your hair like that he wanted to know if i dyed my hair wow and then i thought like
[41:56]what is he if if i were to say yes what would that i don't even know what that means like
[42:01]i'm purposely dyeing my hair bright white russell how do you describe your hair for
[42:05]those of you that don't know what you look like i think it's like old man white hair it's it's the
[42:10]grayest of gray hair and and as far as i can remember it has always been the grayest of gray
[42:14]hair right russell like it's like no it was red i would say the last like it was red i would say the
[42:18]last 10 years it's been eight to 10 years it's been the whitest of white it's like the greatest
[42:23]it's like the greatest most gorgeous head of gray hair in the entire world like russell has the
[42:28]greatest gray my gray hair coming in is like scraggly and old and like looks weak russell's
[42:33]looks like he should be on like mount olympus like it's awesome gray hair but i got but i got to
[42:39]admit if i found out somebody dyed my hair i would be like oh my god i'm gonna dye my hair
[42:40]like that i'd be like what the fuck are you doing you cannot be dying your hair that gray that's
[42:44]crazy the only thing i can think is my eyebrows are still dark so maybe he looks at my face and
[42:50]he thinks he must be dying his hair but i was like i don't know how to take that maybe that
[42:53]means he thinks i'm younger than my hair looks and i'll take that as a compliment i didn't know
[42:57]how to take it i think that's it if anybody is over the age of 12 and they're asking you how
[43:01]old you are red flags immediately alarms have to go off he might be he's either a weirdo or he's
[43:10]also in your hotel room so you got to be careful oh god well nobody goes into the house of my
[43:16]temple in vegas rob roland going how's it going with you uh listen okay i went to south africa
[43:25]okay i had a good time that's far have you recovered yeah yeah actually i did because
[43:31]it turns out having a plane with a bed seat having a bed on a plane is awesome people how was it
[43:37]people getting on you don't want maybe this has to be a little bit of a flight to go but
[43:40]i think for sure it's time for guys what else would it be right you took a flight with a bed
[43:45]i took 16 hours to fly from uh south africa to atlanta i slept for 10 hours
[43:54]wow deep asleep according to your watch or oh my god don't remind me my watch today is just
[44:02]gonna be like kill yourself now it was unbelievable i had braised rib once again
[44:10]i am unbeaten you guys know my special superpower i have never picked the wrong meal on the airplane
[44:16]i picked the right meal on the airplane 100 of the time i got the braised short rib but the best part
[44:22]of flying business class is when you're sitting in this pod and guys it really is like a spaceship
[44:28]pod it's a door i can close all the way it looks awesome people passing by and the stuff they say
[44:34]not to me because i dare not make eye contact with these idiots getting back out the back of a 16 hour
[44:40]flight ridiculous but they say they're like oh that's awesome that seat's awesome i'm just sitting
[44:44]in there watching some cartoon just canceling headphones just being just and and guess what
[44:50]every time i flew i got to go to the lounge so i'd go right from the lounges to the bed on the plane
[44:56]it was the it was i don't think i can ever ever ever go back to regular flying it's going to be
[45:01]really hard for me i want to remind you that this is the guy who made a whole song about my expensive
[45:05]chair this is the life he's living oh i can't go back guys i can't
[45:10]fly anything but first class now i think i might be a first class only guy
[45:13]rob can i ask when you i'm going on one of these fancy flights is the bathroom still like a regular
[45:19]like like do you have to go from your fancy pod to like a regular tight little bathroom yeah and
[45:24]i did and you know what i had to do that for it's because they gave out pajamas on the flight
[45:28]they had pajamas that you could change into now of course you can change in your little pod
[45:33]well no because there's the pod is only okay now you're making the pod sound bad because the pod
[45:39]only goes up like
[45:40]four feet so if you walk so here's the thing other thing when you're walking through the aisle you
[45:44]can stare down at everybody's pod like the eye of god oh yeah a little weird well or pretty great
[45:50]pretty perverted is it is it weird if i watch everybody sleep dang i hit the i hit that button
[45:58]it's cool how i could see you from up here but touch your toes down there
[46:04]you look like you're in a deep sleep i bet your watch is telling you you're using
[46:09]very deep sleep tonight oh i'm just waiting for the bathroom i'm just watching you sleep while i
[46:17]wait to go to the bathroom now i have to say when they handed out when they handed out pajamas though
[46:20]russell how would you interpret this they were giving out pajamas they go do you want any pajamas
[46:25]they said it like that do you want any pajamas that's the way that they're worried it's not
[46:28]gonna and i said what size you have to go just and they said just small medium and large and i was
[46:33]like okay i get it so you didn't you didn't take i haven't worn a large since fourth grade
[46:39]okay anyway guys i can't i can't tell you enough how much it helped i literally came back a six
[46:48]hour time difference i came back no jet lag whatsoever it was unbelievable it was awesome
[46:52]i have to say if i was on a plane and i had to relieve myself because i wasn't feeling good
[46:56]from eating the braised short rib or whatever rob got and i was waiting in line for like five
[47:01]minutes because some first class fuck was putting on airplane pajamas i would be pissed it did suck
[47:07]when it was just like it was kind of a disappointment it was just a regular bath
[47:09]you're like oh yeah it's still like the scary toilet flush like you're like god damn what's
[47:15]going on there loudest toilet flush of all time it's like how else are you gonna get those chem
[47:20]trails out there oh crazy speaking of loud flushes you'd do it again you would do the
[47:29]delta water whatever it's called again all right i would except i did calculate how long i have
[47:33]to teach to pay for the flight and it just made me feel like i was like a whole 16 toes
[47:39]to the delta bed it's honestly as close as i've gotten understanding what it'd be like to have an
[47:54]addiction because i was like well i can't afford this and i need it more than anything i think the
[48:00]craps table might might have something to say you got me thinking about how i've been watching
[48:04]tiktoks of just a guy playing bubble craps i've watched like 20 minutes of it at a time i'm like
[48:08]craps craps craps let's go
[48:09]let's continue the podcast getting on my flight in a person in my industry i know him well he's
[48:19]also based out of minnesota so often we're coming home from conferences we'll be on the same flight
[48:22]or whatever dude won three thousand dollars at the airplane at the airport slot machine no
[48:28]at the fly machine that's a myth are you serious he walked up with a big wad of cash and it just
[48:35]cashed out like three grand plus from an air from an airport slot no
[48:39]that doesn't yeah that doesn't happen right can you imagine if you if you do what i call the uh
[48:43]las vegas airport double header you win a thousand dollars and then you shoplift something from one

[50:19]i'm not gonna do that that'd be kind of like watching porno together right though if we were
[50:22]just looking at we paid to watch look at topless women that would be weird right yeah i've been to
[50:27]one of like the where they're doing like the kick lines and all what is like the i've been to one of
[50:32]those they're from the same place i've been to one of those they're from the same place i've been to
[50:32]fun oh russell says russell i want to go to one of these with you that does sound fun i mean
[50:39]they've existed in vegas for hundreds of years it's cultural it's cultural you have to go you
[50:45]know what it's actually quite rude if we don't go yes we've been there seven times never been
[50:51]wow how disrespectful okay aaron get us doing our part for the economy yeah aaron gets three
[50:58]tickets to the juggy review or whatever it's called my eggs yeah if we don't do it
[51:02]it's called like nude cowboy girls go wild i feel like we should get one for matt in his absence oh
[51:07]yeah i think that's in oh yeah matt for sure well he was talking about it earlier listen we are
[51:12]talking about the birth of soul by ray charles now this is a compilation album it's kind of a
[51:19]greatest hits album we've talked before about how that we really don't think these belong on the
[51:23]list but correct it's a problem with ray charles right because he released a ton of singles he
[51:31]released like back then he released a ton of singles he released like back then he released
[51:32]like back then they didn't have these big albums so how are you going to collect these songs how
[51:35]are you going to get a ray charles album without these songs i don't know in this case when we're
[51:40]doing the 50s i almost it's it's kind of like who's the cowboy singer we did hank williams it's
[51:45]it's kind of like that where like you almost have to have a best of now i agree but you don't have
[51:49]to have a 53 song one like that's this is three cds 53 songs two hours and 28 minutes long it is
[51:57]abusive we will not be listening to every song i put it here and i started to go through them and i
[52:01]was like i'm not listening to every song i put it here and i started to go through them and i was
[52:02]like since when has been the podcast we claimed we're going to listen to every song that's nobody
[52:06]cares if you're a ray charles completist this has a place in your on your shelf i don't you know
[52:10]that's that's cool but on the list i don't know and i actually think this is an all-time vibe
[52:14]album if you just put this on shuffle and had it on on a saturday while you're putzing around the
[52:19]house i think this is a great album the songs are fun they're short there there's a there's a good
[52:24]change in tempo in them i think it's fun this collection i can hear that this collection
[52:27]starts in 52 when he's signed by atlantic and goes all the way through 59 when he moves to
[52:32]mount record so this is seven years span and basically let's look at ray charles what we've
[52:36]already talked about in chronological order we've already listened to his modern sounds
[52:39]of country western okay that album doesn't come out till 62 his first big number one hit
[52:46]is in 1960 with georgia on my mind so this is prior to all that this is like 52 to 59 we're
[52:52]going before that ray charles grew up famously i mean do you want a history of ray charles just
[52:57]watch the jamie lee fox movie like one of the craziest jamie fox movie did i say is it jamie
[53:02]fox jamie jamie lee fox was in halloween i think okay but it was a different halloween jamie lee
[53:08]fox i meant that as a different the emphasis should have been difference there um i believe
[53:13]they were they were also in that show coach with with hayden hayden hayden fox fox charles ray
[53:19]charles loses his sight at four years old due to glaucoma his mom from georgia sends him to a school
[53:24]in florida where he uh he gets really good at the piano mom passes away at 14 ray charles drops out
[53:32]and basically says well i was raised in the church and then i would hear all this blues music
[53:36]and i would go to revival and so i got both sides and so what he started to do is blend kind of
[53:41]r&b at the time with gospel and that's why this album is called the birth of soul ray charles
[53:47]has really looked at the first soul singer kind of carrying that flag with james brown
[53:53]who did more of like copying the the preachers like the southern preachers at the time
[53:58]but ray charles is copying the music and you can hear that evolve as
[54:02]this list goes on and i'm going to show you a couple of examples of him taking stuff from
[54:05]gospel mixing it with our mixing it with r&b and creating soul which i thought was a really cool
[54:10]part of this album and basically soul music uh you know mirrors the civil rights movement starting
[54:14]in the 50s gaining traction in the 60s and uh we're gonna see i'm gonna show you some songs
[54:21]where they sound just like old gospel tunes and then eventually ray charles on this list starts
[54:25]writing his own songs that sound like gospel tune and this album was originally number 54 on the list
[54:32]i forgot he was on atlantic john coltrane was recording on atlantic at the same time up until
[54:36]59 or 60 i don't know if they would have crossed paths at all why not put those people together
[54:41]that's crazy like why not have a combo album yeah right ray charles did record some jazz albums but
[54:46]i don't think he and coltrane ever recorded together it'd be interesting to know ray charles
[54:50]that says recorded 60 studio albums and has 200 compilation albums so that's he was prolific right
[54:57]oh i mean 200 compilations that sounds like my
[55:00]yeah
[55:02]private mode all right and that's a joke for guys who are way into porn
[55:06]it's like when like if you say i'm in the oh i mean i'm driving in the pov lane
[55:12]yeah i know he's already stalling he's sicko he doesn't want to play the music
[55:16]the sun's three cd three discs the sun won't even get started the sun's gonna shine again
[55:23]i actually like the recording of these early ones i think it sounds good
[55:32]oh russell is this a good song to play if you want to make love
[55:36]it feels like big band music it feels like we're going real old here with this music right
[55:42]yeah you're right sort of throwback to like charles brown and yeah looks like that you
[55:49]could see it you could see a granny making out to this for sure and that's the last time i'm
[55:53]gonna say that okay not gonna bring it up never again certainly not oh so good i love it jumping
[56:00]in the morning
[56:01]we're gonna jump ahead to jump i'm not gonna say jumping ahead from now on but it's what we're
[56:05]doing uh jumping in the morning i like this if you are listening along and following on the track
[56:10]list then you are john from edina and you are our only listener doing so and thank you for being
[56:15]here this i mean this is a true boogie woogie in this album oh good job rob you did your research
[56:23]oh you know i did for the first cd that's when i texted you guys i said we're not playing every
[56:28]song i've got a lot from the beginning not so much from the end
[56:31]it should have been me this is a memphis curtis song swish she was gone
[56:35]this this is a killer
[56:38]it should have been me this is on the same sessions as mess around so imagine you're
[56:44]at the studio you hear re charles record mess around in this song oh so good
[56:51]yeah this is jim and juke joint stuff who's the other vocalist
[56:56]uh i spotted it's okay we don't know i have no idea uh it's okay we promise to do no research
[57:04]losing hand never that i got your love baby you guys oh yeah he sounds so young
[57:12]what year was he born
[57:15]1930 1930 but even he russell wasn't in the 1920s
[57:25]that's how boring the 20s were they didn't even have ray charles
[57:30]he probably wasn't even there to hear the those kids selling those
[57:34]look at me i'm the king of new york isn't that the newsies that's gonna be about the 20s right
[57:44]oh my god russell's breaking out newsies you guys never fail to shock me uh heartbreaker the only
[57:50]reason i picked this song is that this is by a guy named adamant erdogan
[57:55]who i saw on wikipedia was a turkish songwriter and i was like well that's strange i'd be singing
[57:59]some turkish guy's song he was the engineer for atlantic yeah he owned atlantic records
[58:05]right so picture this you're ray charles you're working at atlantic the guy who owns it comes
[58:11]down and goes listen i wrote this song would you want to play it and sing it you got it i mean
[58:15]i mean you have no choice it's like aaron was telling us it's like a boss asking for a kiss
[58:21]you have to say yes it's a power imbalance that's not a thing that has happened in the last 20 years
[58:25]in my life uh wasn't him and his brother was it was it just ahmed or is there were there was there
[58:30]another erdogan i think just ahmed and then he would rewrite his name different things for
[58:35]songwriting purposes oh i got it okay aaron this is me bruce springsteen
[58:40]strap your hands in my engine to give me a little smooch
[58:44]little girl and don't go to my hr section which is also my horn section
[58:49]losing hand quick losing the answer i could do that i don't know if it's this one at
[58:55]i'm probably picking the wrong sound bites or something but i i heard a little
[58:59]is there jimmy hendrix taking any influence for bray charles i thought this one sounded
[59:05]like jimmy hendrix to me a little bit but this is maybe yeah i mean jimmy played in an r&b band
[59:10]when he got started right he played in uh he played in curtis knight and the squires
[59:15]they probably performed on the same circuits i mean a little bit later for jimmy but
[59:19]yeah maybe it's just the guitar or in this yeah i hear the blues guitar no i think you're right
[59:25]uh i mean they wouldn't play the they probably played some of the same clubs in the south
[59:29]now we have i brilliant by the way russell i totally agree with you now we have another
[59:33]amit song mess around mess around made famous from plane trains and automobiles of course
[59:40]this song is a crusher the people do this this is not coming from i have been
[59:47]they're doing the mess around this is also this is like my hair thing i have had probably 15 people
[59:55]say you know what celebrity you look like and i'm like i know what they're going to say if they say
[59:59]john ray charles every time they're blind but you know what like there are these songs i've talked
[60:08]about this before there are these songs that just feel like john candy movie songs right like where
[60:13]you can just see him kind of like doing the little dancing in the kitchen and that type of thing yeah
[60:19]but like there's so many good like songs from uncle buck and all these i was gonna do a list on these
[60:23]but there's too many good ones
[60:24]to do but i wanted to celebrate john candy in a different way tonight with you guys so that's
[60:29]all right let's do it different i can't wait i wanted to do a movie king of the mountain so

[61:24]we're just are we
[61:24]okay wait russell are we voting for the best movie or the best john candy part you can interpret it
[61:29]however you want i'm still going home it would be a bummer to be a big guy with a last name candy
[61:34]wouldn't it i don't know you know what i mean like i guess if his name was john salad that would be
[61:40]more jokes but yeah it would be terrible to be like hey could you mix another one in and they're
[61:45]making fun of your last name oh home alone versus nothing but trouble i haven't seen nothing but
[61:53]trouble is one of the most terrible
[61:54]movies although it does have shock g in it but it is terrible home alone versus only the lonely
[62:00]oh i got it i don't even know what only the lonely i just haven't seen only the lonely it's still

[72:49]yes beat the shit out of those guys yeah yeah yeah everyone loves cheering for the cops i i was
[72:56]always though the big boss man on the wwf arcade game because just hitting somebody with that club
[73:00]i was like god damn that's so satisfying okay now nintendo 64 version doink the clown i was always
[73:06]doing the clown because yeah oh yeah i was watching that vince mcmahon thing on netflix there's about a
[73:14]three second shot of doink and it made my whole week because i was like well there's doing the
[73:19]thing i'm watching yes ground in my own tears this is his was this on the country one two third
[73:28]number one single i think he re-recorded it for that i think you're right okay this caused him to
[73:34]uh recruit a singing group called the ray let's which is a bunch of women that he sang with and
[73:40]guess what he occasionally did with some of the ray let's you'll never guess touch them without
[73:44]their permission oh i didn't know it was without their permission because i know he had an affair
[73:48]with one but aaron you're not allowed to do that you're not allowed to do that you're not allowed
[73:49]i don't know if it was i i think it was like uh you know of the time it's me bruce springsteen
[73:54]i'm supposed to go have some meeting now with somebody aaron what did you what did you what
[73:58]are you talking about i'm the boss let me give you a kiss now now i didn't know because the joke
[74:03]was that the ray let's had to let ray so i think it's part of his legacy that got buried a little
[74:08]bit i don't i don't know that anything is fact but i think those kinds of things get get brushed
[74:14]aside it would be the least shocking thing in the world if you heard something like that yeah of
[74:19]you'll never guess who else has covered drown in my own tears
[74:24]okay it's jeff beck on guitar now listen to this donald fagan from steely dan on keyboards yes
[74:36]bernard birdie on drums whoa this is wow there he is wait so who's singing uh this is
[74:49]you've got me just like a child catherine russell don pataducci bass
[74:54]and russell i was doing some research do you know how many grammys jeff beck won
[75:02]how many 17 do you know how many ray charles won how many like 40 some it was crazy i looked at
[75:10]i was like god damn this is hard and russell makes it look so easy it's actually quite hard
[75:15]and then i found out ray charles has been inducted to the
[75:19]rock and roll hall of fame jeff beck has been inducted twice once as a member of the airbirds
[75:26]once so russell i gotta ask you this when it comes to number of times inducted into the rock
[75:32]and roll hall of fame and has sang drown in my own tears who did it better jeff better wow and
[75:40]when i say sang i meant he played guitar on just so everybody's very clear uh russell that was a
[75:49]lot of people say this is where the soul really starts soul music again we've said it a third
[75:55]time oh this is so good fun so did he maybe rob talked about this at the beginning did he have
[76:04]any normal albums or was it all just singles ab is there anything that could qualify to be on
[76:09]this list normally or not he he he does but there's so many and i think they're so short
[76:14]well i think modern sounds of country and western music was actually released as an lp right
[76:19]yes but all this stuff was singles compilations it is kind of fun that they just did ray charles
[76:24]like theme albums right it's like here's soul music here's a country one i mean this russell
[76:31]this sounds like a gospel song but he wrote the whole thing he's not copying another gospel song
[76:35]so we see another step in soul music lonely avenue got all the way up to number six
[76:40]some might call it rob the birth of soul wow one could argue that reminds me of when i
[76:49]saw the spanish sun being born yes nailed it
[76:52]anyway oh that's pretty impressive thank you uh leave my woman alone
[77:00]do we know is this compilation laid out chronologically so are we getting later in
[77:10]the 50s now yeah yep now in this song he talks about being a playboy do you think we could be
[77:17]playboys if we tried
[77:18]and you
[77:19]got the women all over town our playboy days behind i don't even really know what it means i
[77:23]think russell's the closest to having been a playboy i mean i think i think russell's done
[77:28]most recently russell that's a great question i don't know what it means either to me it means
[77:32]wearing like a smoking jacket i think that's how i would start right aaron what would you do if i
[77:36]said you had to be a playboy what are you up to i would throw some parties in my house i would wear
[77:40]a smoking jacket yep aaron now let me ask you would you swim now let me ask you this aaron if
[77:45]you were a playboy yeah would you swim in some piece of shit regular pool where
[77:49]you could see the sky or or would you choose to swim in the grotto the grotto obviously and it's
[77:57]got to be shaped like a bunny now if you went to the grotto do you think anybody is in the men's
[78:02]bathroom the grotto there's no way right that men's bathroom at the grotto is empty why is that
[78:07]i don't know because you're peeing in the pool you're peeing in the grotto i mean come on no you
[78:12]have to be people are swimming in there yeah people are always swimming in pools i pee in aaron they're
[78:18]always swimming in pools i pee in aaron they're always swimming in pools i pee in aaron they're
[78:19]always swimming well that's why you're not a playboy that's a good point a playboy would
[78:23]never be in a pool i also think the key to being a playboy is like you show up at parties and you're
[78:28]always like beyond fashionably late and people are super excited to see you and you've got other
[78:34]stuff to do so like you go you are the hit of the party and you're only there because you've got
[78:39]like better places to go than all these hanging out with all these poor saps but you brought
[78:44]something to keep the party hours you brought something that's going to really keep the party
[78:49]and then cake or whatever i go in and i and i show them my thigh and what have i put on at the tanning
[78:55]salon a playboy bunny sticker on there damn did the hottest girls in my high school do that oh
[79:02]if you had a playboy bunny tan line thing there's a good chance i jacked off thinking about you i'm
[79:08]not gonna lie okay i'm sorry for anybody that hears that that knows that that probably happened
[79:13]you were hot
[79:15]you were hot
[79:19]sorry to all those people from rob's high school who were listening
[79:22]aaron went to a tanning place where it was so it was it was a discount place all they had were
[79:29]hustler stickers you could put a hustler sticker just real smut swanee river rock and i played this
[79:34]song because we're up to disc three we did it
[79:37]what kind of man are you the singer here is marianne fisher
[79:43]now guess what ray charles and marianne
[79:49]fisher did
[79:49]went out for coffee they had sex he's horny
[79:54]i mean it sounds like it would be a pretty sultry evening there they sound true yeah
[80:02]it's true
[80:04]i gotta say though if you're making love to ray charles and he turns the light off you'd be like
[80:10]oh i'm in his world now you know what i mean like he would have the advantage
[80:13]and you know when he busts how good it feels
[80:17]tell all the world
[80:19]about you
[80:19]i love any sort of happy uplifting ray charles song
[80:23]kind of fun here too because we switch into big time stereo
[80:28]it just fits like a john hughes movie right
[80:33]big time
[80:34]uh no i i gotta say this i picked this song my bonnie
[80:39]because i was like you know that you're a superstar when they're like hey what song do you want to
[80:45]cover and he's like hey how about that one who uh but that uh lady who lies over the ocean
[80:49]yeah yeah yeah the one who lies over the sea that's the one i'm gonna cover yeah and then
[80:53]they're gonna use this how they illustrate the major sixth in theory class oh but he doesn't
[80:58]do it he chooses not to do it what he doesn't do it what well it's supposed to be my body lies but
[81:07]he doesn't do it pretty pretty baller isn't it if you take the most the one thing it's held for
[81:15]you're like i'm not doing that thing the issue so that's it that's it
[81:19]major six because i got to admit when i was in a teaching class because i was in a teaching class
[81:22]at saint olaf it was all music teachers so one thing would be true and that is every week they
[81:28]would come back from their student teaching devastated their lives are absolutely exposing
[81:33]music teachers to middle schoolers and high schoolers is a torturous affair that nobody
[81:37]should imagine they'd be like i just want people to love the flute it's like nobody's gonna love
[81:41]the flute they hate your class hey i got news for you math teachers spanish teachers everyone
[81:46]hates your classes okay no one hates your classes
[81:49]nobody likes the class how would you rank them rob like worst of first most like worst by far
[81:55]every and i can tell you because i taught it math everybody's mad at you they're mad at you before
[82:00]they set foot in the door parents will threaten you like my kid better know this by the end
[82:04]otherwise they're not i'm like what job are people doing with math what job are we doing with math i
[82:10]cannot tell you how many times i've had to use sign in my life zero i don't want to sound like
[82:14]that guy who's like oh it's so good it's quadrilateral season i haven't used a lot of math
[82:18]the cosine of
[82:19]the cosine of the number of listeners to this episode equals the tangent of listeners zero and
[82:25]i and i do i like math i actually but it's it's the worst class and the next up the languages
[82:31]that is the next class where if parents are pissed about something it's a language class
[82:35]then but kind of history yes i feel like in college though if you were doing spanish it's
[82:41]because that's what everyone did in high school you had to get your language credits
[82:44]i feel like the the guys we knew that did norwegian or some of the other languages
[82:49]it felt like they were more into it it may be it is spanish is that people feel forced into that
[82:55]one because that's what's available all through middle school rob or not i think you're of the
[82:59]opinion that because everybody does it it's going to be easier that was always my thought i was like
[83:03]well everybody speaks it i should learn this and and it'll be easy it was not the only thing that
[83:07]got me through is that the movie we watched in college she knows i had watched the whole thing
[83:12]in high school so i knew all of it i never had to go to the language lab i didn't have to practice
[83:16]spanish and a guy on the football team was from costa rica and would write a book about it and
[83:19]my papers for me uh all right what i'd say now this is of course parts one and two electric listen
[83:27]to this he plays a electric piano on tour because he doesn't trust the tuning on these pianos he's
[83:33]playing 300 dates a year at this point 300 dates a year crazy yeah that's crazy and so he sits down
[83:40]this is his first pop music hit he sits down and just improvises this at a concert one day
[83:46]and the crowd goes crazy
[83:49]and so he's like oh he ended once he recorded this every concert he did he ended with this song
[83:55]i mean this sounds like amphetamines right this sounds like everybody we're doing 300 nights a
[84:00]year ever like the drummer how's the drummer doing this like this cannot be done sober right
[84:04]this is crazy and somebody just hopped out there and did this and improvised it's wild so then we
[84:09]get to this part this is what had it banned most radio stations wouldn't play this version of the
[84:14]song because of this
[84:14]this is what it was like
[84:19]in the 50s radio stations would not play because of this
[84:22]because it sounds too much like sex i mean it does sound like sex right it sounds like it's
[84:28]like the adam sandler sketch are these people at a concert or having sex i'm sure sex where
[84:33]both people are making noise aaron okay and not once does he say is it in there's nothing else
[84:42]he's doing with those sounds i mean like it wasn't supposed to sound like anything else sorry that's
[84:48]it
[84:49]but do you think people maybe in the 50s you did maybe you know what i could see where if i lived
[84:54]in the 50s with no internet and no mtv videos and no grind can you imagine a world with no mtvs the
[85:02]grind that's yeah you would hear ray charles going do it with the air and i'll put on you i'll put you
[85:07]on the left okay now i'm gonna put those in the different sides does this make you horny let's do
[85:16]this i'm gonna send this back in time maybe in the 50s you just got that that's how horny they were
[85:21]is that when they heard that they're like god i got a bust they were repressed man i don't know
[85:25]this is tough well let's get into the rating guys i don't know if i'm gonna be able to stay for the
[85:29]end here i gotta head over to the nude review shop we're a topless we're a topless woman is
[85:37]just selling you various retail items shop uh yeah two uh yeah two waters thanks
[85:44]this is the first nude review shop i've been to that didn't have a free hot dog bar
[85:49]can i get one of those gatorades with the extra electrolytes yeah
[85:52]so thirsty do you hear this hits do you hear this song
[85:56]yeah i've been up in my room with my doctor dr mutombo uh listen we don't care about this album
[86:06]it's fun but we don't care what we care about is this should this be album 2010 from the future
[86:11]there are kind of i mean
[86:14]i've come back in time to tell you that you need to not do the podcast with your friends
[86:25]it actually affects your health really badly you're up too late way too much
[86:28]honestly you could just text the jokes to the guys that they get it you think if i texted the
[86:33]the text chain and just said mutombo was my doctor and he checked my prostate i think i would get
[86:38]just as good a response yeah but you're not there in person to hear it rob rob i know matt couldn't
[86:44]do it to me but i'm here to listen to music with you
[86:44]tonight and you were pretty insistent on making it happen because we were going to have another
[86:47]extended break yes people out of town and whatever i'm thinking about the foot freaks out there
[86:52]and and a part of me thinks that uh there was one or two people that were not happy
[86:56]that we had a replay last week and i feel like that hit you right like right in the guts
[87:00]you know what i a thousand percent disagree i thought that chuck berry because you said this
[87:05]is a funny episode i listened to it back it was so fucking funny it was really funny now it wasn't
[87:10]the highlight of my life which is a joke that russell told earlier that may or may not be
[87:14]in the podcast but it was a good episode who would have thought an episode about toilet
[87:19]cams we could make that work it was crazy you did it probably i guess the whole odds you pulled it
[87:25]off i just want to remind you it was in a barbecue restaurant that's where the toilet
[87:32]cams were a barbecue restaurant it's crazy maybe it was a barbecue chip restaurant oh my god russell
[87:37]hit me with it what flavor is chili purple everybody knows that it's from the drew
[87:44]now is this album rolling well-toned perfect at 210 okay it got done as i'm not gonna lie it's
[87:50]going from 54 to 210 that's a harsh reality for ray charles that's tough it shouldn't be up at 54
[87:56]did this album get rolling boned it shouldn't be this far down on the list it should be higher up
[88:00]which of course is a lower number or is this a rolling groan
[88:04]uh
[88:04]uh
[88:08]uh
[88:10]uh
[88:10]uh
[88:14]okay your great grandma back there just
[88:18]oh god i'm gonna bust i got blue walls what's gonna get us bad from spotify this is it well
[88:24]that's great because i just rejoined up my membership i heard they have a la liga going
[88:30]where you have to speak spanish music now is this rolling well-toned rolling bone or rolling groan
[88:35]aaron what do you think ray charles birth of soul i get why we need to have a ray charles
[88:42]compilation because as we talked about there
[88:44]wasn't a studio album that featured these songs which are very important i think if they had cut
[88:48]it down been a little more economical with it it could have been rolling boned i'd like it where it
[88:53]is though it's good it's good music so i'm gonna give it a rolling well-toned uh russell what do
[88:59]you think rolling well-toned rolling boned or rolling groan i would love to own this on vinyl
[89:04]i've been thinking about expanding my vinyl collection trying to get more of the some of
[89:07]the albums we've listened to i would love to own this and have part of this in my collection to put
[89:12]this on all the time but it has no business beat on this list i'm out on the compilations
[89:17]you bring that into the house of my tumbo i say get that shit out of here rolling groan
[89:23]so good unfortunately you guys are incorrect okay so you guys are doing the you know what
[89:30]our little stubby figures are not nearly as impressive when we do that's true
[89:35]when we do it just looks sad nobody's like my middle knuckle goes almost like halfway up
[89:42]it's not like my finger is very far extended put your finger toward the camera more and then it
[89:48]looks like it's really long then you have the big motumbo finger that looks like we're doing
[89:51]something very this show is so dumb this album okay this album gets gets a rolling uh give me a
[90:02]second here and this better this gets a rolling don't turn the lights on mess around yeah oh
[90:12]this album is fun you cannot listen to this and not think a song about barbecue is fun
[90:19]do the mess around it's great it's a great time now it's fun
[90:26]i want to do the mess around which aaron told me earlier is just hand stuff over pain
[90:31]anyway
[90:33]next up next week we have joy division we get a math class
[90:42]joy long division hey this extra song is a remainder uh and the album is called unknown
[90:48]pleasures which i assume is hands in the pants stuff when you want to hear about the greatest
[90:53]albums of all time but you're just too lazy to look it up online if you want to hear from guys
[91:04]you gotta do it
