Grateful Dead: American Beauty (1970)

[00:00]there's something russ is having some technical issues i would say the show today we're in a weird

[00:04]place everybody okay we are recording on a sunday morning and you know what that means erin's not

[00:10]here okay there's only one reason that would be playing uh some johnny cash in the background

[00:14]oh my god i think oh my god sunday morning coming down sunday morning and speaking of sunday morning

[00:20]coming i'm a bigger uh lionel richie easy like a sunday morning oh oh there you go that's that's

[00:25]the russ favorite that's the hungover russ senior year of college every morning i'd come walking

[00:30]into the the pod and this is playing and those that made better decisions in life are like up

[00:38]working out doing real things and this is great on a sunday morning you will see my kids this time

[00:45]arise from their sleep at a normal time it's already 11 30 11 30 here in new york they're

[00:51]not quite up yet uh but erin's not here today

[00:55]you

[00:55]in a little bit but that's why we're recording on a sunday morning we're gonna get this done an

[01:01]hour and a half before the vikings start no problem but i will say one thing about growing

[01:07]older and actually now i'm realizing i don't like doing this when the rest of my family is awake

[01:12]well you wake them up anyways with all your yelling anyways so there's something really

[01:18]any difference there's something about jacking off on the weekends it just feels wrong as an

[01:21]older guy you know what i mean it's like this should be the one time where i'm actually making

[01:25]love to you

[01:25]to the person in my house and not staying in the bedroom and they get up early

[01:30]you know what i mean like that's when you know that you might have an issue i think during the

[01:35]weeknights everybody else went to sleep i think you're fine i think on the weekends

[01:39]this seems wrong hey this goes along well with this song

[01:43]oh we could never do a daytime recording again guys i had this the song i'm gonna play for you

[01:49]today i had to sing well my family was listening i'm just gonna make any comments

[01:54]uh no but i'm gonna have to probably sit down with one of my kids and explain

[01:58]stuff have a little conversation about how some things are just jokes she shouldn't actually

[02:05]ever think about me saying those things again oh i mean you could probably just

[02:09]maybe just have ross or uh brian from woodbury i mean they're usually pretty good at explaining

[02:14]these things to their kids since they listen every week so maybe they have to and guess what

[02:19]your kids call we've got another uh podcast in the wild voicemail today the voicemail's gonna blow

[02:25]your mind we really do we really do it's gonna i think it might be one of the all-time best

[02:29]voicemails i think my song might be one of the all-time best unfortunately aaron's gonna be not

[02:34]here for one of our all-time best episodes hey guys that's a lock that's a guarantee right now

[02:38]that this is going to be one of our all-time best episodes that's the way what do they say

[02:42]in the old business world uh under promise over perform or what is it you know under promise over

[02:48]deliver maybe over deliver there you go rob tip we want to keep this budget low rob we want to keep

[02:53]the budget low just wait we just spent all the vc's money right out of the right out of the gate

[03:00]there's two things true in my life i've never once under promise and i've never once over delivered

[03:04]okay so you'll never get either one of those things we're not about to start right we no way

[03:09]absolutely not in 2020 four friends decided to listen to every one of the greatest five

[03:15]albums that decided by rolling stone magazine this

[03:18]results in a text chain that celebrated the music excoriated the order and led us to making this

[03:22]podcast we are far from experts we promise to do almost no research oh also i announced a power

[03:26]lifting meet all day yesterday so my voice is totally shot uh all opinions are our own unless

[03:31]you disagree please sit back and enjoy beck did it better we are all the way up to album 215

[03:37]that's crazy by the way and from 1970 it's the band that could have used a little peanut butter

[03:44]because it's one of the all-time jam bands we've got the great

[03:48]old dead with american beauty okay now did you come up with that by yourself

[03:52]uh this i felt like before i play this song oh wait a minute we gotta

[03:59]okay so we just got a text from aaron uh yeah we'll do i'm trying to open the hotel soap so

[04:07]once again aaron never fails to deliver aaron has now said something funnier than we've said

[04:13]in the last five minutes over text crazy have you guys ever heard of aaron's song over text

[04:18]guys i mean this this brings up a question and i think about this often when i'm in a hotel

[04:22]if he's been there overnight is he just opening the soap now wow so they didn't have to use the

[04:29]soap wow nobody went to the bathroom yesterday anything like that wow man i don't know man but

[04:34]aren't you kind of a thing where you're in the shower and you have to use like liquid gel soap

[04:38]doesn't that just feel like not as clean i believe that's a isn't that a new york state law now they

[04:43]or they have to have they can't have the little containers they got to have the big containers rob

[04:47]oh really yes most people have moved on from that anyways but i will say that using liquid soap with

[04:54]a washcloth just using the hell out of the uh the hotel's washcloth to get clean i mean that's that's

[05:03]i know there's nothing wrong but there's something about using a washcloth where i feel like i'm one

[05:07]of those like medically fat guys you know what i mean like when i'm washing myself with a rag i feel

[05:11]like i'm really like in a hospital getting sponged down like it just it never feels good and i get it

[05:17]super clean but i just it makes me feel weird i don't like with it's like in game of thrones when

[05:22]the man with no face is wiping down the dead bodies before he steals their faces exactly that's

[05:27]russell you could not have put it better and i'll say the same thing i was going to get one of those

[05:30]foot washing things have you guys ever seen that where you put it on the ground and you rub your

[05:34]feet in it no no okay i was never mind that was a joke ha ha i was going to get one of those and

[05:40]then i was like this is like there's aaron when you need this is like an old fat guy thing you

[05:43]know what i mean like if i'm using a device to wash my feet i'm like that's i've gone too far

[05:47]that's i've too much stuff in your bath like in your shower i think makes you a medically fat guy

[05:53]it's just a thought i have you know what i don't like at hotels and they do this there was a kirby

[05:57]enthusiasm episode about this what are your thoughts on the the hotel staff where they either

[06:04]take your dirty clothes they put it in a bag they put it in a corner or they fold it and like put it

[06:09]on like the bench i was at a nice hotel and they did the full fold of everything got everything

[06:15]and i was like this is too far

[06:17]i don't need them digging in all this stuff and folding everything right what are your

[06:20]guys thoughts on hotel staff primping it primping up your room a little bit and getting into your

[06:24]clothes i usually am a pretty like neat piler but i'm also like not there for more than one or

[06:33]it's usually like a one night thing it's not a lot of three or four nights where it would

[06:36]be piling up like that but i'm usually a very neat piler so that i'm kind of in a corner so

[06:42]people know like don't touch this stuff right like this is mine kind of a thing but i was at a place

[06:47]in charleston a couple weeks ago where they did like the the turndown service which is really weird

[06:53]because i like went into the hotel took a little like half hour breather from like 4 30 to 5 and

[07:00]just kind of watch some um what are we charleston usually i'm either watching ridiculousness or uh

[07:10]what's the dating one oh catfish because i don't have mtv at home i think we've talked about this

[07:14]so you know watching an episode of catfish

[07:17]before going out to dinner so i i knew what the hotel room looked like and then all of a sudden

[07:21]i come back and it's like there's like turndown somebody's been sleeping in my yeah and it was

[07:27]it was really really i don't know that kind of creeped me out like i don't i don't need this

[07:32]stuff so i i think anybody touching anything of yours inside of your hotel unless it's like

[07:38]cleaning up like who's been peeping around my hotel room here oh my god this music's making

[07:42]rust talk like he's in the 1920s i love it i it might shock you

[07:47]guys i love it people picking up my stuff for me folding it for me making me feel like a king

[07:53]anytime i can feel more like jabba the hutt i love it i love people taking care of me i love people

[07:58]doing things especially if i picture them not liking doing it then i like it even more i think

[08:03]it's great can you imagine growing up in the 1920s not only is this the music you listen to

[08:08]the candy you ate was also charleston shoes like think about this you're listening to

[08:12]this music eating charleston chew and you just be like well yeah no wonder it's just uh it's

[08:16]it'd be terrible like can we get a box of nerds around here yeah i don't even think

[08:22]i don't even think there's an iphone 5 yet honestly like they were probably still on

[08:27]the iphone that didn't text pictures remember good text pictures all right where were we oh

[08:33]i think we're at the point of the show where we talk about charleston speaking of iphones uh we

[08:37]had a plumbing issue in our house we have to have the the rental agent or our home age whenever you

[08:43]call it the maintenance people for the association come and fix something

[08:46]upstairs roommate since she lost her phone a while back no longer had the app so she she just

[08:54]emailed the people and said i no longer have the app please come fix this i can't i can't and i

[08:59]said well you could re-download the app and re-log in and she was like oh that makes a good sense so

[09:04]then there was another email back saying never mind i know i can re-download the app i'll do it

[09:09]through the system now can i ask you yes how do you get people to respond to your advice by saying

[09:15]oh yes thank you i will do that thank you i will do that thank you thank you thank you thank you thank

[09:16]you instead of yelling at you and getting mad about you giving them advice can you give me

[09:21]some can you elucidate me on that russell please i i i think i i hit the lottery today i was gonna

[09:28]say it must be at the right time of the day or something uh listen okay we gotta get we gotta

[09:34]turn on the radio okay we've been trying to push it because we know aaron is now in the shower

[09:38]all right but uh let's no he just said he was trying to get the soap open that's all i i texted

[09:46]i said was it the circle soap because i get it with the circle soap and when you're in the shower

[09:50]i hate taking the wrapper off the soap in the shower then you got to leave a wet wrapper in

[09:54]the shower yeah i mean what is this eminem on a rainy day i mean the wet wrapper it's so gross

[09:59]i figured you would have practiced with enough candy wrappers over the years robert in the shower

[10:03]i gotta say i gotta say i have taken to now eating my homemade ice

[10:12]cream in the bathtub at night once again it's a major job of the hut move and i love it

[10:16]does it melt it quicker or anything or not you know it does russell so i can still hold my phone

[10:22]and eat my ice cream because i'm drinking that bad boy down all right i'm getting maximum i'm getting

[10:29]maximum sensory input hold on so you famously take showers or baths every morning

[10:37]you taking baths every night now with ice cream well not every night

[10:41]there's just some nights where i'm i'm tired and i want to take a bath

[10:46]maybe my family is outside you know do you ever get any bubbles in on the ice cream and you've

[10:51]got to like whift it away like waft it away with your hand or not i am not taking a bath with

[10:56]bubbles oh you're not maybe i am putting in some epsom salts okay give it a little grit

[11:02]when i sit down you know what i mean like a little traction that's about it speaking of

[11:06]grit i we had a power lifting me yesterday and the the bathroom we upstairs that we had people use

[11:11]was in an auto body shop the soap dispenser in this auto shot body shop's bathroom

[11:16]was for guys working on cars it was first of all it was about is it the orange soap

[11:20]no it's soap i've never seen it was about the size of a cereal box the soap dispenser huge

[11:25]soap dispenser and then when you took out the soap there was like pumice in it it was like

[11:30]flecks of like hard stuff and it would eat away like everything it was the most unbelievable hand

[11:36]soap i've ever used in my entire perverted isn't it it did make me want to wash my hands after

[11:41]going to the bathroom okay which i don't think you should have to do after a number one it doesn't

[11:45]make any sense to me

[11:46]i'm not digging around i don't think that i'm not touching that much like i don't think we should i

[11:52]think actually me washing my hands after number one makes my hands dirtier than they were before

[11:56]that's my stance this is like i drive better when i drink argument isn't it no it's no it's not at all

[12:02]that's crazy now let's trade better we all know what we're doing we're trying to stall because

[12:07]we want aaron to come on and listen to this song okay if he comes on we'll just play the song again

[12:12]for him later and edit it in now but that's the way it is let's turn on the radio let's

[12:16]turn on k-rob let's see what's going on now if you guys had to guess off this album because as

[12:21]soon as i saw this album i was like i know exactly what the song is going to be i know the title of

[12:25]the parody song do you guys want to guess by any chance it's got to be rucking it's got to be ruck

[12:29]into trucking right trucking oh oh rucking god damn that would have been so much better

[12:34]oh i could i'm never doing this again i am never doing this bit again where i asked you what i

[12:42]should have said this and said he had like his bagged of opus his greatest song ever and i was

[12:46]like you just shot that down right he just he literally put his hands in his forehead and said

[12:50]it's brutal i pray that i never do this part bit again russell we should start we should we don't

[12:57]need to listen to rob's song we should start right right you get a couple verses i'll get

[13:00]a couple verses for rucking for aaron and then and then we'll uh we'll do our own karaoke right now

[13:05]thank god i'm never asking you guys again it is a trucking though so let's see let's turn on k-rob

[13:11]you didn't truck him but didn't do ruckin yep he also had to

[13:16]do is eliminate one letter you guys will never guess what i decided to ride with truck and here

[13:20]we go welcome to k-rob oh oh me oh me we're never gonna make the vikings game on time

[13:27]all right he's here and you know what that means

[13:32]here we go it's k-rob now with special guest aaron hold on he can't hear you yet

[13:39]hold on hold on aaron turn on the speaker so your uncle can hear this one

[13:46]you're gonna have to go you're gonna rob you're gonna have to re-record this to ruck and i'm

[13:49]warning you i you this is where this is where i was told by someone a few weeks ago that i have

[13:57]some blind spots in what i see or don't see this is one of your blind spots i'm helping you russell

[14:02]we cannot be influenced by other people okay we've got to do what's true to us okay if this

[14:06]is too much we'll let aaron decide so aaron i asked these guys what song do you think i did

[14:11]and they all said oh it's trucking but you did ruckin and i went like this oh that's a way better

[14:15]idea than what i did i'm warning you this is the dirtiest song rob's done and it's about you and

[14:21]your proclivities so you may want to tell him it's got to come out and if you tell him it comes out

[14:27]with no question russ and i have russ and i have already voted that it comes up then we'll do

[14:32]ruckin but they want it out that makes me want it in so bad all right here we go what's up everybody

[14:39]welcome to k-rob k-r-o-b you know sometimes you just make a song that's too dirty for this world

[14:45]ruckin aaron thinks is the best he's ruckin in his big vest walking is not hard enough

[15:00]for him because aaron is too then i don't think aaron can just walk down the street

[15:15]ruckin he wants to do something that's way less discreet how about a vest so he looks like the

[15:23]police puts it on now he's hurting his knees now he's walking up a hill or three he looks like he's

[15:33]paramilitary this costs about 150 just so aaron could feel like russ and me

[15:45]aaron's wife told him i really like it but when he left she just rolled her eyes

[15:57]she just wants to get him out of the apartment she thinks it's a dumb way to get some exercise

[16:05]ruckin it's dumber than dumb you're walking with just some heavy stuff on aaron acts like

[16:15]he's in the navy seals maybe he should just eat some bigger meals

[16:22]aaron better not bring the best

[16:32]to our trip to las vegas

[16:41]if he does we'll throw his

[16:45]aaron better not bring the best to our trip to las vegas

[18:03]But Russ is in a different room.

[18:04]There's a window with light streaming in.

[18:06]Is that a different room?

[18:07]It's just there's light outside tonight, Rob.

[18:10]It's the day I can open up the curtains.

[18:11]Your basement gets light?

[18:13]I look right onto the river, Robbie.

[18:16]Wow.

[18:17]Well, I can look out there and I only see one or two port-a-potties, so I think that's perfect.

[18:20]I got Russell in Minneapolis.

[18:22]Russell, how are you doing?

[18:22]Well, all you dumb shit listeners, gather round that good, sweet candy man's in town.

[18:27]It's the Russ man.

[18:28]It's the Russ man.

[18:29]Don't say the name two more times.

[18:32]And I've got Aaron in a hotel in Arizona.

[18:34]Aaron, how are you doing today?

[18:35]I'm on a long, strange trip myself, but I'm thinking about sugar magnolias.

[18:40]Let's talk about the great sugar magnolias.

[18:42]And I realize I forgot the bit.

[18:43]Now, earlier, Aaron was talking to us and he said, you know, Rob, I just don't understand all this cloning that's going on these days.

[18:50]I just don't understand this cloning.

[18:51]And I said, well, yeah, that makes two of us.

[18:54]Are you talking about that sheep they cloned?

[18:59]Wasn't that in the news a while back?

[19:02]A sheep?

[19:02]Hello, Dolly.

[19:03]Speaking of sing-alongs.

[19:04]And I'm not going to sing that song.

[19:07]Okay.

[19:07]Let's get right into the voicemail.

[19:10]I got to say, guys.

[19:16]Now, I did say I thought that song was one of the greatest of all times.

[19:19]802-277.

[19:20]That was wrong.

[19:20]Beck, that's 802-277.

[19:22]I do think this is one of our great voicemails.

[19:24]Okay.

[19:25]All right, let's hear it.

[19:26]Hi, boys.

[19:27]It's Krista from Minneapolis.

[19:29]It's been a while.

[19:30]It's been a while.

[19:31]But I just had two sort of awkward experiences, all thanks to the podcast.

[19:37]So I just thought I'd share those with you.

[19:40]And you could share an awkward experience maybe you've had as a result of the podcast.

[19:45]Oh.

[19:45]I was in pursuit of carving pumpkins at approximately 8 p.m. on October 30th,

[19:54]just trying to find a pumpkin anywhere.

[19:56]Really dropped the ball on that one.

[19:58]And as I was running into our local grocery store,

[20:01]and I saw a gentleman talking to another lady,

[20:05]if those were the only pumpkins left,

[20:07]and they were grabbed right in front of me.

[20:09]But that gentleman looked at me and he goes,

[20:11]hey, how are you?

[20:12]And I, in the moment, had no idea who it was and said,

[20:16]do I know you?

[20:17]And lo and behold, it was John from Edina.

[20:19]And I had just been so flustered.

[20:20]He's a man of our time.

[20:21]And I didn't recognize him right away.

[20:23]So she is finding, once again, John from Edina.

[20:26]I don't know what this guy does.

[20:27]He doesn't seem to spend any time at home.

[20:29]He doesn't seem to spend any time at work.

[20:30]He's just out and about.

[20:31]The fans are seeing John.

[20:33]They're all arguing over the last pumpkins on October 30th.

[20:36]Can you imagine a bigger collection of losers

[20:39]than people trying to get pumpkins on October 30th?

[20:41]Like that is, they can't even go to the patch.

[20:45]They're like, hey, there's that outdoor patch just down the road.

[20:47]And I'm like, no, let's go to Byerly's

[20:49]where we can maybe get some fancy chocolates

[20:51]while we're there too, right?

[20:52]Get some groceries.

[20:52]Hey kids, instead of the corn maze,

[20:54]we're going to act like these aisles full of corn

[20:57]are kind of like a maze.

[20:58]Let's go up and down and see if we can get out of here.

[20:59]No, the gourd, the little one.

[21:01]Get the gourd.

[21:01]Get the gourd over there.

[21:02]Now I have to admit,

[21:03]my school gave away pumpkins

[21:05]for a pumpkin carving contest they were doing.

[21:07]I grabbed two and I brought them home on November 3rd.

[21:11]So I also dropped the ball.

[21:12]We did not have pumpkins in the house for Halloween,

[21:14]but I got them after.

[21:15]You have to carry those on the subway?

[21:17]Oh no, I stuffed them into my hiking bag.

[21:19]I kind of rocked them home actually,

[21:20]just like that hit song we heard earlier.

[21:22]We definitely, definitely was about rocking

[21:27]and not something that I thought was funny.

[21:29]One year I worked at a company,

[21:31]a Thompson, a big company in Egan,

[21:33]that's out in the eastern, southeastern suburbs,

[21:36]man, I would say off 35E and Yankee Doodle Road.

[21:39]Yeah, Yankee Doodle between 55 and 35E.

[21:44]And the two years I worked there,

[21:47]they did a thing where they gave every employee a turkey.

[21:49]So you could get a turkey

[21:51]and they had a big semi truck out.

[21:53]When you walked out, you could pick up your turkey

[21:54]or you could take like a ticket and put it in a box,

[21:59]meaning you were donating it

[22:00]and they would donate it to charity.

[22:01]And I remember the first year I took that turkey

[22:03]and eventually it got eaten.

[22:05]But the next year I put the ticket in there

[22:07]and I felt like the most, I'm so generous.

[22:10]Like I'm giving away this turkey to charity.

[22:13]And really all I did was take the ticket

[22:16]and throw it in a box.

[22:17]But I was like, I went home and I told everyone,

[22:19]yeah, I donated a turkey for Thanksgiving today.

[22:22]So like everyone needed to know how kind I was

[22:26]at that time of year.

[22:27]Russell's year was literally like the story

[22:29]of the Christmas carol.

[22:30]Yeah.

[22:31]In the beginning, he's like, give me this fucking turkey.

[22:33]I'm going to eat it.

[22:34]You're going to work during this.

[22:34]And at the end, he's like, go ahead, tiny Kim,

[22:37]get you a turkey as big as you.

[22:38]I'm going to put this ticket into a box.

[22:40]You know what I mean?

[22:41]A butterball for all.

[22:45]Russell did eat a bad piece of potato.

[22:48]So that also makes sense.

[22:49]Oh, I guess you guys haven't been to kids plays

[22:52]of the Christmas carol like I have for the last three years.

[22:54]And my other awkward moment was just now

[22:57]when I was picking up my order

[23:01]from a store that you guys never want to name,

[23:03]but I don't know why you never want to name it.

[23:05]And as I opened my trunk for the employee

[23:09]to put the groceries in my car,

[23:12]Rob on the podcast said, now that is a small penis.

[23:17]Oh, so that was great.

[23:20]Now, listen, I refuse to accept any blame for this.

[23:29]I think running the podcast,

[23:31]while you are getting down and interacting

[23:32]with somebody in public, that is on you.

[23:34]That is not my fault.

[23:36]That's your fault, right?

[23:38]I mean, that's-

[23:40]Well, that happens to Sarah all the time.

[23:41]Like she'll be listening on her phone

[23:42]and then, you know, she'll drop the kids out,

[23:44]listen on the way, come back,

[23:45]and then somehow we'll get into the car

[23:47]and the car will turn on.

[23:49]It'll instantly go to whatever was playing on her phone.

[23:52]And, you know, if you hear Rob's voice,

[23:54]she, as quick, as fast as she's ever moved,

[23:57]that volume turns down if she hears Rob's voice pop up.

[24:01]Because, well, maybe,

[24:02]Matt's like, I can't stand this shit.

[24:05]Turn it off.

[24:05]No, I think she probably is like, well, I liked it.

[24:09]I like hearing what Rob has to say,

[24:11]but maybe not exactly what he says all the time

[24:13]or the songs he sings.

[24:14]Well, that's 80% of the podcast

[24:15]that she's ready to turn it down, right?

[24:18]Because she's looking for those other clips.

[24:21]85, I mean, but who's counting?

[24:22]Have you guys ever had an awkward moment

[24:25]because of the podcast?

[24:26]I actually had one very recently.

[24:28]I was in a group lunch.

[24:30]I'm not going to say,

[24:31]who was at the lunch,

[24:32]but these are, it was people I would prefer

[24:34]they don't know about this podcast.

[24:36]And somehow there was someone who did know about it.

[24:38]And they brought up in the lunch,

[24:40]Russ, don't you have a podcast?

[24:42]And I immediately,

[24:43]I fucking lied through my teeth, guys.

[24:46]I lied.

[24:47]I said, I did one for a while.

[24:48]They said, are you doing it anymore?

[24:50]I said, oh no, we quit doing it a long time ago.

[24:53]You have to.

[24:54]I lied.

[24:55]I lied completely

[24:56]and prayed that no one will ever find it.

[24:58]No, that's, we don't blame you.

[25:01]We don't blame you at all, Russell.

[25:01]I would have done exactly the same thing.

[25:03]I can't think of too many awkward.

[25:06]I mean, I really try not to identify with this pod

[25:10]in the real world as much as possible.

[25:11]And so I can't think of too many awkward moments.

[25:15]I've, I've had almost none.

[25:18]I've never, I don't think I've ever met someone

[25:20]who listens to the, listens to the podcast in real life,

[25:23]except for my, my wife and my uncle's here.

[25:26]Who's here with me now?

[25:27]Picture this.

[25:28]You meet somebody who does listen to the podcast.

[25:30]That's terrifying.

[25:31]You know what I mean?

[25:31]That's the John from Edina experience

[25:33]that he's going around.

[25:34]He's, how is he?

[25:34]He's on the least, maybe that's it.

[25:36]He's on the least number of episodes.

[25:37]Yet he is the biggest celebrity from this podcast.

[25:39]Yeah, that's, that's weird, right?

[25:41]Guys, let's get into rolling going.

[25:44]I did have a thing at work though,

[25:48]where I was listening to a podcast

[25:50]where they were being very dirty

[25:51]and I took off my headphones when I got in

[25:53]and I thought to myself,

[25:53]what if this podcast starts back up

[25:55]and they realize I'm listening to a podcast about swingers?

[25:58]Like that cannot be.

[26:01]Cause I liked them thinking I'm listening

[26:02]to like the economist little podcast in the morning,

[26:05]but nobody thinks that when they look at me.

[26:07]Hang on.

[26:08]You're listening to a podcast about swingers?

[26:09]No.

[26:10]Well, yes.

[26:11]Yes, actually I do.

[26:12]Isn't there a thing on Spotify now

[26:14]where you can like share, listen to stuff?

[26:15]So like Aaron and I could be listening

[26:17]to the same thing at the same time.

[26:18]Or I think there's something like that.

[26:20]But I remember, I remember when I first saw that

[26:22]on Spotify, I was like immediately panicking,

[26:25]turning all Bluetooth off, not using wireless speakers.

[26:28]I'm like, I can't have anyone accidentally run into this.

[26:31]Right.

[26:31]See a lot of people,

[26:32]they cover up their webcams on their computer.

[26:34]I just tilt the screen down.

[26:35]You know what I mean?

[26:36]Cause if they're going to look,

[26:37]they're only going to look once.

[26:38]I've got, well, you know what?

[26:41]Let's just start Aaron rolling going.

[26:42]How's it going with you?

[26:43]I've been, I've been Aaron.

[26:48]How's it going with you?

[26:50]It's rolling going pretty weird guys.

[26:53]Let me talk about some fun stuff,

[26:56]which is that I'm in Tempe, Arizona,

[26:58]staying here in the,

[27:01]enjoying the lovely weather hanging out with my uncle,

[27:04]who I think also listens to the podcast.

[27:06]We hit it pretty hard last night.

[27:09]We went to a football game yesterday,

[27:11]watched the Sun Devils win one of the just wildest endings I've ever

[27:15]seen in person.

[27:15]No, definitely the wildest ending I've ever seen in person.

[27:17]So we were at the premature charging of the field,

[27:20]right?

[27:20]Sure.

[27:21]Charging the field, all of the little,

[27:24]all of the little soldiers ran out there.

[27:25]It was crazy too.

[27:26]Cause it was like, you knew they were going to add another

[27:29]second to the clock.

[27:30]I mean,

[27:31]we don't have to get into the details for the football

[27:33]sickos,

[27:33]but you knew for sure they were going to have to pull

[27:35]all these people off the field and they just kept streaming

[27:38]on there.

[27:38]We're watching it and just going like,

[27:40]this is a crazy thing.

[27:41]So that was,

[27:42]that was wild.

[27:42]And then,

[27:43]yeah, we,

[27:44]you know,

[27:44]that happened.

[27:45]And then we went to the hotel bar and had some

[27:48]happy hour and watched the cyclones.

[27:50]And then we went out for dinner.

[27:51]And then I think we had another beer on the patio deck

[27:54]at like 1:00 AM.

[27:54]So we had,

[27:56]we, I literally just woke up as you guys were

[27:59]restarting this podcast.

[28:01]And we missed breakfast.

[28:02]So we're going to,

[28:03]we're going to be a little bit behind today,

[28:05]but we're making it work.

[28:07]And the reason is that we're here celebrating while not celebrating

[28:10]yet.

[28:11]We're working through some stuff for one of our great

[28:14]listeners,

[28:15]perhaps our greatest listener.

[28:16]I can say that now,

[28:16]cause I can say that he's our greatest listener.

[28:19]My dad,

[28:21]who I think we can call Dr.

[28:22]J passed away and expressed unexpectedly.

[28:26]And I'm not going to get too far into it,

[28:28]but you guys asked me,

[28:29]you know,

[28:30]do I want to record?

[28:31]Do I want to talk about it?

[28:31]Do I want to talk about him?

[28:32]And I do because he was a huge fan of this podcast.

[28:35]And not only that,

[28:36]he was a huge part of the reason that I went to

[28:39]the St.

[28:39]Olaf and met you guys.

[28:40]And so I don't think there would be a Beck did it

[28:42]better without him.

[28:43]He was a great listener.

[28:44]He loved all of the dirty jokes.

[28:46]And I know that if he's paying attention,

[28:48]he would have enjoyed,

[28:49]he would ask me,

[28:50]I'm sure he would have asked me,

[28:52]do you really have a foot fetish,

[28:53]but is there really something wrong with you?

[28:56]He would have,

[28:59]he would have laughed at that time.

[29:01]He would have been like,

[29:02]I don't fucking suck.

[29:03]So that's what I'm here.

[29:04]And I wanted to fucking suck.

[29:06]How much more can I honor his memory than to record his,

[29:09]his only podcast that he listened to as far as I'm aware.

[29:12]You know what?

[29:13]Actually,

[29:13]I do have an embarrassing moment about the podcast.

[29:15]And that is when we're texting each other being like,

[29:17]Hey,

[29:18]this terrible tragedy happened with Aaron.

[29:20]What are we going to do about the recording this weekend?

[29:22]And we're just like,

[29:23]Oh God,

[29:24]we're pieces of shit.

[29:24]We're the absolute lowest.

[29:26]No,

[29:27]but you guys ask and you were in,

[29:28]you said,

[29:28]you know,

[29:29]we'll,

[29:29]we'll do whatever you want.

[29:30]And I said,

[29:30]my dad,

[29:31]my dad was a listener.

[29:31]He was a fan.

[29:33]He loved you guys.

[29:34]And I'm,

[29:35]you know,

[29:36]what am I going to do?

[29:37]But,

[29:38]but say great things about him and,

[29:39]and talk to you guys.

[29:40]So that's where,

[29:41]where I'm at.

[29:42]Aaron,

[29:43]this is the ultimate challenge.

[29:44]Okay.

[29:45]Hogan warrior.

[29:46]No,

[29:47]you've brought this up and now we're going to try to make this podcast funny again today.

[29:50]Oh,

[29:51]it's going to be tough,

[29:52]but you know what?

[29:53]I think I know exactly what it will help.

[29:56]Okay.

[29:57]Rob.

[29:58]Okay.

[29:59]All right.

[30:00]I think this is good.

[30:01]You're like,

[30:02]well,

[30:03]we're going to get to the bottom of it.

[30:04]We did.

[30:05]So I didn't have,

[30:06]I've not had an awkward moment with any listeners,

[30:07]but I did of course have the moment where my uncle is one of the great friend makers of

[30:11]all time.

[30:12]So any server,

[30:13]he's making friends.

[30:14]He's a,

[30:15]he's a great guy to chat with them.

[30:16]And so of course,

[30:17]with one of the bartender,

[30:18]the bartender came over and he was singing a rather obscure Tupac song.

[30:21]And I said,

[30:22]was that Tupac?

[30:23]And the guy was like,

[30:24]Oh yeah,

[30:25]I guess I was.

[30:26]And so then of course my uncle had to say,

[30:27]well,

[30:28]this guy right here,

[30:29]he knows music.

[30:30]He's on a podcast.

[30:30]What's the name of the podcast?

[30:31]Oh my God.

[30:32]I mean,

[30:33]so yeah,

[30:34]I did have that experience.

[30:35]Song exploder.

[30:36]Got him,

[30:37]got him to,

[30:38]got him to think.

[30:39]The Joe Rogan podcast.

[30:40]Yeah,

[30:41]you got,

[30:42]he kind of has the Joe Rogan vibe right now.

[30:44]His head is a little,

[30:45]Aaron's head is not quite squished enough.

[30:47]It doesn't look quite enough like a dumbbell to pull off a Joe Rogan.

[30:49]It's not bursting out of the seams.

[30:51]But yeah,

[30:52]no,

[30:53]that would you rather that they said,

[30:54]Oh yeah,

[30:55]he has a podcast or,

[30:56]Oh yeah,

[30:57]Aaron used to be on the message boards as raw,

[30:58]going to give it to you.

[30:59]So he probably knows a lot of these songs.

[31:00]I'll never forget that.

[31:01]As long as I live.

[31:02]Yeah,

[31:03]man.

[31:04]I mean,

[31:05]I don't know.

[31:06]I,

[31:07]what do we say?

[31:08]Like,

[31:09]of course we've got our condolences.

[31:10]I don't even know.

[31:11]That's not anything we need to say.

[31:12]We make a funny podcast.

[31:13]We,

[31:14]we,

[31:15]we enjoy this.

[31:16]We enjoy it.

[31:17]And we deal with the rest another time.

[31:18]He is a great listener.

[31:19]I've known Dr.

[31:20]J for,

[31:21]for many,

[31:22]many years.

[31:23]He's always been really good to me.

[31:24]And you guys remember this,

[31:25]he listened and I was in Des Moines,

[31:26]which is,

[31:27]I don't know if you've ever been to Des Moines.

[31:28]He listened and I was in Des Moines,

[31:30]which is about where Aaron's family,

[31:32]most of his family lives.

[31:33]And I went to this restaurant called eggs and jam.

[31:35]You guys remember that it was like the hip hop themed,

[31:38]the hip hop themed brunch spot.

[31:40]And they had tons of good food and everything.

[31:42]And everything was named after like different hip hop groups.

[31:44]And after he heard the episode,

[31:45]he actually sent me a shirt and I was going to wear that to honor him.

[31:48]But unfortunately it feels like I've had too many eggs and jam in recent

[31:51]months and it didn't quite fit as well as I would liked it to.

[31:54]So,

[31:55]but,

[31:56]but yeah,

[31:57]Dr.

[31:58]Russell,

[31:59]you know,

[32:00]I'm thinking those shirts,

[32:01]Russell,

[32:02]the laundry lady,

[32:03]the laundry lady,

[32:04]laundry lady,

[32:05]laundry lady.

[32:06]Oh my God.

[32:07]He's yelling.

[32:08]Sorry.

[32:09]Oh,

[32:10]Russell,

[32:11]the door opened behind you.

[32:12]Oh,

[32:13]he looks so fast.

[32:14]He looked so fast.

[32:15]That was crazy.

[32:16]I got to say,

[32:17]Russell,

[32:18]there's no greater compliment than somebody sending you a shirt.

[32:19]That's too small.

[32:20]You know what I mean?

[32:21]Like that is the best.

[32:22]It did fit at the time.

[32:23]It did fit at the time,

[32:24]but it's still a cool shirt.

[32:25]I still got it up,

[32:26]up in the closet.

[32:27]So,

[32:28]I'll have to maybe go for a walk today and put it on to honor Dr.

[32:31]J.

[32:32]Well,

[32:33]I will say my way of honoring Dr.

[32:34]J is that I now think the Drake relays are really good.

[32:40]Okay.

[32:41]I love the Drake relays.

[32:42]I,

[32:43]they're very important to me.

[32:44]I definitely get why they're a big deal as a track made to me.

[32:46]They are very important now.

[32:48]Okay.

[32:49]In my opinion of them started at the bottom,

[32:51]but now we're here.

[32:52]So that's what I think of the Drake relays.

[32:54]That was like an apology.

[32:55]Your mom made you do.

[32:56]You're like,

[32:57]well,

[32:58]I'll admit they're okay.

[32:59]Yeah.

[33:00]It's well,

[33:01]I already feel that way.

[33:02]So Aaron,

[33:03]I do.

[33:04]It does sound like you were up a little late.

[33:05]You mentioned having the beer on the patio.

[33:07]I've always found a super late beer on a patio or by a patio,

[33:11]like a pool.

[33:12]That's always going to come back to bite you.

[33:14]You never,

[33:15]you never needed the last,

[33:16]the last patio beer at the hotel,

[33:18]right?

[33:19]Nope.

[33:20]Didn't need it at all.

[33:21]Yeah.

[33:22]Cause what happened was we were down to that.

[33:23]We closed down the hotel bar.

[33:24]Once you've closed it down and you cannot stay at the bar.

[33:25]Yeah.

[33:26]You got to chase a little more.

[33:27]That's the one that gets you.

[33:28]We chased a little more.

[33:29]Yeah.

[33:30]We,

[33:31]we closed down the hotel bar and my,

[33:32]my stepbrother who's here,

[33:33]who's doing an amazing job helping out and was,

[33:35]you know,

[33:36]he,

[33:37]he's a late night guy and he was like,

[33:38]yeah,

[33:39]I'll have,

[33:40]I'll drink one more with you guys.

[33:41]We were like,

[33:42]well,

[33:43]we got it.

[33:44]We got to do it.

[33:45]So yeah,

[33:46]we're paying for it and we're going to,

[33:47]we're going to figure out how we,

[33:48]how we move on and,

[33:49]and get some sunshine at some point today.

[33:50]I had exactly the opposite experience yesterday where I worked.

[33:52]I announced his power lifting meet all day and I was constantly stealing

[33:55]hard seltzers from the back.

[33:57]I was,

[33:58]I did not pay for them.

[33:59]I just stole them.

[34:00]And at the end I took two and put them in my pockets and drank one on the

[34:02]Uber ride home.

[34:03]And then guess where I found the other one in my closet unopened.

[34:06]And I was like,

[34:07]I am so smart.

[34:08]I can have one of these today.

[34:09]And I didn't drink too much yesterday.

[34:10]I was very proud of myself.

[34:12]Yeah.

[34:13]I should have stashed that last one in the closet for sure.

[34:15]Guys.

[34:16]And I'm telling you,

[34:17]you're nothing feels as good as drinking a Kirkland hard seltzer on a,

[34:20]in a Uber ride home from a power lifting meet.

[34:22]That really feels like as a 44 year old man,

[34:24]your life is totally together in the Uber.

[34:26]You could do that.

[34:27]You're not drinking it in the Uber.

[34:29]Yeah.

[34:30]Well,

[34:31]I coughed when I opened it.

[34:32]So nobody heard.

[34:33]Oh,

[34:34]that old trick.

[34:35]And I gave my kid a look when she looked at me,

[34:37]when I opened it,

[34:38]I said,

[34:39]don't tell anybody.

[34:40]I'm going to do a Rob.

[34:41]Cause I made this joke and Rob talked over it.

[34:42]So I'm going to make it again.

[34:43]You can edit it out.

[34:44]If you want Robin,

[34:45]you're going to honor my dad.

[34:46]And I thought you were going to say that you've become a pull it to the

[34:48]cider.

[34:49]I wow.

[34:50]I thought real hard about the room.

[34:53]Jesus.

[34:54]I thought hard about that.

[34:55]I thought hard about playing cats in the cradle.

[34:57]And I didn't do that either.

[34:58]I feel like I'm doing a great job.

[35:00]You're doing great.

[35:01]Thank you.

[35:02]So we've done,

[35:03]we've done long enough on this topic.

[35:04]Let's have a good episode.

[35:05]And how's it rolling going with Matt?

[35:07]It might surprise you.

[35:08]I don't have the emotional depth to deal with the tragedy very well.

[35:13]Well,

[35:14]then let me keep it going here.

[35:16]We lost.

[35:17]We lost another.

[35:18]Oh,

[35:19]another.

[35:20]We're going to be down to like five downloads a week.

[35:22]Yeah.

[35:23]Folks,

[35:24]if you are listening to this podcast,

[35:26]go get a checkup right now.

[35:28]So we lost Sarah's mom,

[35:31]Patty for me.

[35:32]Dino called in a number of times,

[35:34]I think just literally 24 hours before Aaron's dad.

[35:38]And so it was,

[35:40]it was very surreal,

[35:44]you know,

[35:45]and going over there and stuff,

[35:46]but Patty,

[35:47]unlike Aaron's dad,

[35:50]Dr.

[35:51]J hated all of Rob's jokes,

[35:52]especially all the time.

[35:53]And she would often call and,

[35:55]and want Sarah to call and say,

[35:57]can we,

[35:58]can we,

[35:59]can we just tone down the penis jokes and the gray penis jokes?

[36:02]And Sarah would constantly have to remind her that,

[36:05]you know,

[36:06]68 year old women who live in Edina,

[36:08]aren't the target audience for this podcast.

[36:11]And so,

[36:12]but she loved listening and she loved breaking it down.

[36:16]And she loved kind of figuring out how crazy Rob's life was and stuff.

[36:20]You know,

[36:21]a real bummer.

[36:22]And then the last episode you heard was about Locktober.

[36:25]That's a bummer.

[36:26]You know what I mean?

[36:27]Like that's,

[36:28]that makes you think.

[36:29]Oh yeah.

[36:30]Yeah.

[36:31]So another,

[36:32]we,

[36:33]we lost a couple of great listeners this week.

[36:34]And you know,

[36:35]I know Aaron,

[36:36]it's,

[36:37]it's going to be a long,

[36:38]strange trip.

[36:39]And,

[36:40]but it is,

[36:41]man,

[36:42]if we go with Tom Petty,

[36:43]what did I say last week?

[36:44]Tom Petty's favorite lines were,

[36:45]you know,

[36:46]it's going to be all right.

[36:47]It's just going to take time.

[36:48]You know,

[36:49]we're,

[36:50]we're kind of getting into some of these deep music,

[36:51]uh,

[36:52]lyrics,

[36:53]uh,

[36:54]over the last couple of weeks here.

[36:55]And so I don't know,

[36:56]it's,

[36:57]we'll,

[36:58]we'll,

[36:59]we'll get through it together though,

[37:00]because I think you need,

[37:01]you need people around you to get through stuff like this.

[37:02]That's right,

[37:03]man.

[37:04]Yeah.

[37:05]So Rob,

[37:06]I can,

[37:07]I think now we can pivot and try not to be Debbie Downer on a Sunday morning and go

[37:11]from there.

[37:12]So,

[37:13]um,

[37:14]the only thing I had,

[37:15]the only thing I had,

[37:16]um,

[37:17]and I think I'm just going to save it for next week.

[37:19]Cause I want to break this down a little bit bigger,

[37:20]but,

[37:21]um,

[37:22]did you guys know that rolling stone came out with 101 greatest,

[37:25]uh,

[37:26]soundtracks of all time?

[37:27]Oh my God.

[37:28]Wow.

[37:29]Yeah.

[37:30]What are the top five?

[37:31]Where's top gun?

[37:32]Well,

[37:33]I'm going to give you a top five and then next,

[37:34]next week I want to break down the,

[37:35]I want to break down the whole thing because,

[37:38]uh,

[37:39]yeah,

[37:40]I don't want to give too much away,

[37:41]but I just want the bodyguard is one Oh one.

[37:44]So they did the hop.

[37:45]I'm like,

[37:46]how the hell are you serious?

[37:47]Oh,

[37:48]one Oh one.

[37:49]You're serious.

[37:50]I don't want to,

[37:51]I don't want to sound bad,

[37:53]but that's the worst thing I've heard all week.

[37:55]You know what I mean?

[37:56]Like that's bad.

[37:57]That's it should not be a one-on-one.

[37:59]That's the third best selling album of all time,

[38:01]right?

[38:02]That's crazy.

[38:03]Yeah.

[38:04]Okay.

[38:05]I feel bad about making that joke.

[38:06]I'm just going to say that right now.

[38:07]Then I'm not going to say,

[38:08]I'm not going to say that.

[38:09]All right.

[38:10]I'll take three minutes just to go through it.

[38:11]Just cause I'm a little heat.

[38:12]Well,

[38:13]no,

[38:14]if you want to do it next week,

[38:15]give us what's what's number 69.

[38:16]That's what I'm curious about.

[38:17]Well,

[38:18]here,

[38:19]here,

[38:20]if you go to the Rolling Stone website,

[38:21]there's not a Wikipedia page yet for it.

[38:23]So obviously it sucks to go to Wikipedia project page.

[38:27]There's difference.

[38:28]If you go to Wikipedia for all our listeners out there,

[38:30]if you look up Rolling Stone 500 Wikipedia,

[38:33]there are two pages.

[38:34]One is a summary of what the list is,

[38:36]but one is called Wikipedia project.

[38:39]And that actually has the list.

[38:41]That's the one you need to find.

[38:42]Gotcha.

[38:43]93 footloose.

[38:45]I was 93.

[38:48]What else was on there besides that?

[38:49]I've seen it in person.

[38:50]It's you know,

[38:51]so good.

[38:52]85 above the rim.

[38:53]So above the rim is better than footloose and the bodyguard.

[38:56]How about that?

[38:57]Above the rim.

[38:58]What even songs are on there?

[38:59]A personal favorite of my household at 84 is Juno.

[39:05]And so if you guys have seen the movie,

[39:07]Juno,

[39:08]it actually does a very good soundtrack.

[39:11]Yeah.

[39:12]Reality bites at 80.

[39:14]Oh,

[39:15]Beverly Hills cop,

[39:16]which has one of the greatest like movie theme songs of all time.

[39:19]79.

[39:20]So Rob claims that some other name though,

[39:23]he,

[39:24]he says it's some other song name that no one's ever heard of.

[39:26]Well,

[39:27]no,

[39:28]because I only do the,

[39:29]you know,

[39:30]I only do the crazy frog version of axle.

[39:31]Yes.

[39:32]I,

[39:33]I,

[39:34]I listened to that so much this summer.

[39:35]Oh my God.

[39:36]This is Aaron.

[39:37]I do.

[39:38]In the camp carpool.

[39:39]And this is what Cole's number one request was.

[39:40]So this would be like,

[39:41]Cole,

[39:42]what song do you want?

[39:43]It's this and gummy bears.

[39:44]Crazy frog.

[39:45]Yeah.

[39:46]74 for all,

[39:47]for all the ladies out there.

[39:48]74.

[39:49]Dirty dancing.

[39:50]Dirty dancing is the 74th greatest.

[39:51]How can there be 73 better than that?

[39:52]That's crazy.

[39:53]That's crazy.

[39:54]Yeah.

[39:55]By the way,

[39:56]above the rim,

[39:57]above the rim does have big pimpin and regulate on it.

[39:58]So are you serious?

[39:59]64,

[40:00]64 is flash dance.

[40:01]I mean,

[40:02]that's a pretty epic.

[40:03]Where is that?

[40:04]I cannot imagine what the top five is going to be.

[40:05]58,

[40:06]58,

[40:07]eight mile again.

[40:08]What?

[40:09]I mean,

[40:10]I don't know.

[40:11]I,

[40:12]I,

[40:13]I,

[40:14]I,

[40:15]I,

[40:16]I,

[40:17]I'm going to be the 58th.

[40:18]That's gotta be like a top 20.

[40:19]That's true.

[40:20]Lose yourself as a top five movie song of all time.

[40:21]High fidelity.

[40:22]One of my favorite movies,

[40:23]top five movies of all time.

[40:24]High fidelity.

[40:25]If you get the joke,

[40:26]you get the joke.

[40:27]54.

[40:28]That is a very good one.

[40:29]I mean,

[40:30]there's different type.

[40:31]Well,

[40:32]Matt's looking at this.

[40:33]There's different types of soundtracks,

[40:34]right?

[40:35]There's collections of songs like Forrest Gump has got like all these,

[40:37]you know,

[40:38]Oh,

[40:39]sure.

[40:40]Yeah.

[40:41]They just like made it basically made a greatest hits album.

[40:42]There's a difference between greatest hits.

[40:43]And I'm assuming for most of the bodyguards,

[40:44]they're like,

[40:45]Oh,

[40:47]yeah.

[40:48]Like those are original songs for that.

[40:49]Or am I wrong about that?

[40:50]Oh,

[40:51]you're right about that.

[40:52]That's true.

[40:53]It seems like there's a difference,

[40:54]right?

[40:55]Greatest hits versus like an original soundtrack.

[40:56]Yeah.

[40:57]Yeah.

[40:58]If they put the big chill in the top five,

[41:00]that's like,

[41:01]you know,

[41:02]it's top gun.

[41:03]I'm really not on there.

[41:04]Cause they do have,

[41:05]that's what I was trying to get to.

[41:06]It's like,

[41:07]I think maybe I,

[41:08]I hope I must've passed it.

[41:09]Cause even highway to the danger zone is fun.

[41:10]Like there's some,

[41:11]there's some fun stuff on there.

[41:12]Top gun is 82.

[41:13]82.

[41:14]That's silly.

[41:15]On the list.

[41:16]Yeah.

[41:17]That's not the,

[41:18]come on.

[41:19]Yeah.

[41:20]Uh,

[41:21]menace to society was in the forties,

[41:22]which I think that's a underrated,

[41:24]never heard of.

[41:25]Um,

[41:26]what's on that movie?

[41:27]Never seen it.

[41:28]Medicine.

[41:29]Oh,

[41:30]classic 1993.

[41:31]Yeah.

[41:32]Hip hop soundtrack,

[41:33]right?

[41:34]Yep.

[41:35]Uh,

[41:36]days and confused rich via one,

[41:37]a rich field.

[41:38]That's a rich field staple for all my friends.

[41:40]Days to confuse 43 on the list.

[41:42]And that's an awesome,

[41:43]that's a collection of songs from the seventies.

[41:45]So you got that,

[41:46]uh,

[41:47]um,

[41:48]all right.

[41:49]I'm trying to get to the top 10 here so we can,

[41:50]well,

[41:51]let's do it.

[41:52]Let's do,

[41:53]let's do top five next week,

[41:54]man.

[41:55]Okay.

[41:56]Let's do that.

[41:57]I think that's a great plan.

[41:58]I love it.

[41:59]Yeah.

[42:00]All right.

[42:01]Sounds good.

[42:02]So rolling,

[42:03]going Russ,

[42:04]how's it going with you?

[42:05]Rolling,

[42:06]going,

[42:07]um,

[42:08]I'm going to take this back.

[42:09]You know,

[42:10]part of the,

[42:11]uh,

[42:12]when we started the podcast,

[42:13]one of our things,

[42:14]I think it's still in the written summary is Russ's dating life.

[42:15]I thought I would share a dating experience.

[42:16]It's a dating story.

[42:17]I've been,

[42:18]I don't know if I've ever done a date like this.

[42:19]Your guys' thoughts,

[42:20]dinner in a movie.

[42:21]I did dinner in a movie the other night.

[42:22]What are your,

[42:23]how do you guys like to do dinner in a movie?

[42:25]Russell,

[42:26]you're talking to three married guys.

[42:27]We haven't done dinner in a movie in 10 years.

[42:30]What the fuck are you talking about?

[42:32]Yeah,

[42:33]that's like a,

[42:34]that's like a five hour,

[42:35]uh,

[42:36]commitment there.

[42:37]That's,

[42:38]that's a rough one.

[42:39]We do dinner,

[42:40]looking at her phones in a third of the movie before she goes to bed.

[42:41]What?

[42:42]I mean,

[42:43]what are you talking about?

[42:44]I told you guys about this,

[42:45]dinner where we went to an,

[42:46]uh,

[42:47]late afternoon showing of dune two and then went out for tacos after.

[42:50]That was our movie first.

[42:52]Yeah.

[42:53]Movie first,

[42:54]then dinner.

[42:55]Aaron,

[42:56]we,

[42:57]we,

[42:58]we did this recently too.

[42:59]We do,

[43:00]uh,

[43:01]the,

[43:02]the brave new workshop,

[43:03]super cool improv comedy spot in,

[43:04]in Minneapolis off Hennepin and about 12th,

[43:05]Rob,

[43:06]that's in between 13th and 11th,

[43:07]I think in Minneapolis.

[43:08]But,

[43:09]um,

[43:10]we actually did,

[43:11]they do a,

[43:12]a matinee like Aaron,

[43:13]the five o'clock.

[43:14]And we also did comedy show dinner instead of dinner,

[43:15]we did comedy show dinner.

[43:16]And how,

[43:17]how did it work out?

[43:18]It was fantastic.

[43:19]It actually might be even more fun because you don't feel rushed when you do dinner before the event.

[43:24]Sometimes you're like,

[43:25]I can't get that extra drink.

[43:26]I can't get the dessert and everything.

[43:28]Here's dinner in a movie.

[43:30]Oh God,

[43:31]I forgot.

[43:32]We had dessert last night.

[43:33]Jesus.

[43:34]Yeah,

[43:35]that must've been,

[43:36]that was,

[43:37]well,

[43:38]you must've had an aperitif with the dessert,

[43:39]right?

[43:40]Aaron?

[43:41]I mean,

[43:42]there's no way that he did.

[43:43]Now,

[43:44]he didn't even make the rush.

[43:45]Didn't make the rush?

[43:46]Yeah.

[43:47]He got through the paddling part though.

[43:50]A bunch of sorority girls paddling me?

[43:53]Sure.

[43:54]Uh,

[43:55]also I will say this when it was a foggy day in South Dakota.

[43:58]Rush?

[43:59]Rush more,

[44:00]more like rush.

[44:01]Alas,

[44:02]I can barely see these guys.

[44:03]You want to hit the closing music on that one?

[44:05]Nope,

[44:06]I don't.

[44:07]Is this the special surprise?

[44:08]I've got one more,

[44:09]one more,

[44:10]one more,

[44:11]one more,

[44:12]one more,

[44:13]I've got one more.

[44:14]And that's when I couldn't find my tickets to go watch them sing Tom Sawyer.

[44:18]I did not feel rushed that night either.

[44:21]Also,

[44:22]when Rush Limbaugh died.

[44:23]So we ended up,

[44:24]we went to a wildfire in Prairie,

[44:26]very good restaurant.

[44:27]But I think the toughest thing with dinner in the movie is when I go to the

[44:30]movie,

[44:31]I want the popcorn.

[44:32]If you go to dinner beforehand,

[44:33]you have to really regulate what you're going to eat,

[44:36]right?

[44:37]Because you're going to be miserable the whole night,

[44:38]right?

[44:39]Yeah.

[44:40]Cause those popcorn,

[44:41]like even as small as a lot of popcorn.

[44:42]Well,

[44:43]I went for everything,

[44:44]but then we went and saw Gladiator 2 in the theater.

[44:47]Gladiator 2.

[44:48]How was it?

[44:49]How was it?

[44:50]Wait,

[44:51]this,

[44:52]this is the number one sign of a guy not being married.

[44:53]You took her to Gladiator 2.

[44:55]Okay.

[44:56]Watch this right now.

[44:57]Watch this.

[44:58]Watch this.

[44:59]Jenny,

[45:00]I got tickets tonight.

[45:01]Let's go see Gladiator 2.

[45:02]It's another great comedy bit,

[45:03]Rob.

[45:04]She said,

[45:05]no,

[45:06]thank you.

[45:07]With almost no pause.

[45:08]Rob,

[45:09]thank you.

[45:10]You're welcome.

[45:11]Rob,

[45:12]we even to get,

[45:13]to get ready for the big date night.

[45:15]We watched Gladiator,

[45:16]the original during the week as like prep for the movie.

[45:19]So I will say you're going to see Gladiator 2.

[45:22]I would recommend it.

[45:23]It's a fun movie.

[45:24]Some of it gets a little outlandish,

[45:25]but you do need to go watch,

[45:28]rewatch the first Gladiator to appreciate the nuance in Gladiator 2.

[45:32]So if you're thinking about seeing it,

[45:34]you gotta do that first.

[45:36]Gladiator might be one of my favorite,

[45:38]like movies of all time,

[45:40]just to sit down and watch and action and all that stuff.

[45:43]And Russell Crowe's it's peak Russell Crowe.

[45:45]Who's also,

[45:46]who's weirdly in like 17 movies a year now lately.

[45:49]He's in a ton of,

[45:50]he's in a ton of movies.

[45:51]He's kind of gone that Gerard Butler route.

[45:53]And they're all good movies.

[45:54]They're all good to watch.

[45:55]You know,

[45:56]they're not great,

[45:57]but they're all good to watch stuff,

[45:58]things.

[45:59]But you know,

[46:00]it doesn't hold up.

[46:01]Russell,

[46:02]is it worth seeing?

[46:03]Am I going to be disappointed by it?

[46:04]Is it a two over the top CGI stuff or anything like that?

[46:06]Maybe a little,

[46:07]a little bit of that.

[46:08]But if you just go in and you take a look,

[46:09]you got to take it for what it's worth.

[46:10]I'm going to see a Roman,

[46:11]you know,

[46:12]Roman M we've talked about Roman empire.

[46:13]Wasn't this a,

[46:14]a tick tock thing for you guys?

[46:15]Many,

[46:16]many years ago.

[46:17]But if you just go in,

[46:18]you're looking for like a fun action movie.

[46:19]I think it's,

[46:20]it's an enjoyable movie.

[46:21]It gets a little strange at times.

[46:22]There's some seeds where like,

[46:23]well,

[46:24]that seems to CGI,

[46:25]but,

[46:26]and especially at the beginning,

[46:27]a little bit,

[46:28]but once you kind of give it a few minutes and you get

[46:30]into it,

[46:31]I thought it was pretty fun.

[46:32]So I would say,

[46:33]go check it out.

[46:34]Dinner in a movie.

[46:35]Great at daylight.

[46:36]I mean,

[46:37]I,

[46:38]I don't know if it's a movie.

[46:39]Great at date.

[46:40]Idea night.

[46:41]Rob on my cue,

[46:42]unleash hell rolling,

[46:43]go on housing,

[46:44]go with you.

[46:45]Listen,

[46:46]are you not entertained?

[46:47]Are you not entertained?

[46:48]Those,

[46:49]the scenes in the original gladiator,

[46:50]where those guys are fighting the women on the chariots.

[46:51]I was like,

[46:52]this might be the highlight of my entire life.

[46:53]And you know what?

[46:54]Looking back,

[46:55]I wasn't that off.

[46:56]Like I was like this fucking rules.

[46:57]I'm having a great time watching this.

[46:58]I went out there.

[46:59]I was like,

[47:00]I was like,

[47:01]I was like,

[47:02]I was like,

[47:03]I was like,

[47:04]this fucking rules.

[47:05]I'm having a great time watching this.

[47:06]I went out there.

[47:07]I went out to,

[47:08]I went out with coworkers.

[47:10]Okay.

[47:11]Kind of an executive level.

[47:12]It wasn't teachers.

[47:13]It was people who were a little bit above teachers.

[47:15]So I got to go teachers.

[47:16]Yeah.

[47:17]A little bit above.

[47:18]Did you guys get to use the,

[47:19]did you guys get to use the corporate card?

[47:21]The corporate card was in effect because my boss was taking us out for drinks and dinner.

[47:27]So already I'm on my guarded state because I know,

[47:30]you know,

[47:31]normally my goal,

[47:32]you know,

[47:33]my goal when I'm out drinking at work,

[47:34]I have one too many.

[47:35]Okay.

[47:36]When it's just this crew,

[47:37]all right.

[47:38]So we go out,

[47:40]one of my coworkers starts telling us her scam to get reservations at Michelin star restaurants in New York city.

[47:48]Well,

[47:49]when it's the restaurant stuff,

[47:51]I say Michelin.

[47:52]When I say tires,

[47:53]it's Michelin.

[47:54]Okay.

[47:55]It's not the Michelin man.

[47:56]They are related as,

[47:57]as you know,

[47:58]even though it's,

[47:59]yeah,

[48:00]it's the same company,

[48:01]but I pronounce it differently because I don't want a Michelin star.

[48:02]I want a Michelin star.

[48:03]Yeah.

[48:04]Oh no.

[48:05]Aaron likes it.

[48:06]He's like,

[48:07]I'm going to get a Hawaii and he says,

[48:08]Hawaii.

[48:09]I'm going to get a croissant in Hawaii.

[48:10]Now what she does is she will.

[48:15]Now let me think.

[48:16]What do you think of this person?

[48:18]Okay.

[48:19]She will call a restaurant two days out and say,

[48:23]I'm just checking to see that the reservation I booked for two days from now,

[48:27]we're good to go.

[48:28]It's a very important dinner.

[48:30]This is at no point.

[48:32]She booked a reservation over the computer at this point.

[48:35]Some people have no shame.

[48:37]So not only was she telling us at work,

[48:39]she also then said,

[48:40]oh yeah,

[48:41]and they will give us free stuff because I really badger him because they made a mistake.

[48:45]And she's telling us this,

[48:46]like,

[48:47]it's a normal thing.

[48:48]She's telling us this,

[48:49]like,

[48:50]this is something that we should.

[48:51]And I said,

[48:52]oh,

[48:53]that sounds like a great idea.

[48:54]When we left,

[48:55]all of us got together and talked about her behind her back.

[48:57]We could not believe that she was doing this.

[48:59]It is one of the most disgusting things I've ever,

[49:01]I've ever heard of.

[49:02]Can you imagine what would you need to do to be able to do this?

[49:04]What would you need to do to be able to call and say,

[49:06]I need a reservation,

[49:07]knowing that you don't have one,

[49:08]knowing that that's the scam you're going to run?

[49:10]And she said,

[49:11]it works every time.

[49:12]The only thing I,

[49:13]the only thing I could think of,

[49:15]it was like the one time in your life thing for some reason that would,

[49:21]and I can't even think of it right now,

[49:23]right?

[49:24]Like some crazy reason,

[49:25]like Barack Obama called you up and said,

[49:27]Hey,

[49:28]let's have dinner.

[49:29]And you just had to get them into the best.

[49:31]Matt,

[49:32]I'm just,

[49:34]Oh,

[49:35]you haven't broke that out yet.

[49:36]Guys.

[49:37]Great impression.

[49:38]Nailed it.

[49:39]So I can't think of anything.

[49:40]I can't think of anything.

[49:42]That's pretty bad.

[49:43]Matt.

[49:44]I'm so hungry from calling in these drone strikes.

[49:47]We got to go have dinner.

[49:49]This sounds like someone who would,

[49:53]who would skip ahead online.

[49:55]Don't people stand online?

[49:57]Yeah,

[49:58]no.

[49:59]Oh,

[50:00]but that's the thing is like online,

[50:01]like an East coaster.

[50:02]Like if she's though,

[50:03]just a New Yorker,

[50:04]I don't think it's so weird.

[50:05]It's,

[50:06]it's,

[50:07]it to me,

[50:08]it's just like,

[50:09]it says so much about a person.

[50:10]Like if I did that,

[50:11]the food would taste like ash to me.

[50:12]I,

[50:13]and then if I did that,

[50:14]I would never in a million years tell anybody that I did that.

[50:17]Like,

[50:18]that's like now when I'm working with this person,

[50:19]I'm like,

[50:20]Oh,

[50:21]you're like a true,

[50:22]I mean,

[50:23]I don't know how else to say it.

[50:24]They're a true sociopath,

[50:25]right?

[50:26]The society of rules do not apply to them.

[50:27]There,

[50:28]there are people in the world that would,

[50:29]would they see an opening or are going to take the opening?

[50:31]And there are people that aren't,

[50:32]and this isn't the way I would do things,

[50:35]but I think there's more people in the world than you would think that,

[50:38]that we'll,

[50:39]we'll,

[50:40]we'll skip a rule.

[50:41]We'll skip the line.

[50:42]We'll jump ahead of everyone else.

[50:43]And the,

[50:44]the,

[50:45]the rule doesn't,

[50:46]if they,

[50:47]if they could say no is what she would say.

[50:49]Listen,

[50:50]we can be accepting all we want,

[50:51]but the bottom line is that if you found out your kid was doing this,

[50:55]would you say to them,

[50:56]Oh,

[50:57]okay,

[50:58]that's okay.

[50:59]No,

[51:00]of course not.

[51:01]You would say you're a terrible person and you need to go get your head

[51:02]up.

[51:03]Right?

[51:04]Like,

[51:05]it's just,

[51:06]I,

[51:07]I just,

[51:08]I can't,

[51:09]I can't believe it.

[51:10]I just,

[51:11]to me,

[51:12]I can't believe your mom influenced you this way to become this person.

[51:13]Did you tell them you steal stuff from the airport?

[51:14]Yeah.

[51:15]What was your time?

[51:16]Did you,

[51:17]did you tell him that you,

[51:18]uh,

[51:19]everyone's got their own thing that for their mind they think is okay.

[51:26]I brought up the airport stealing thing once at work and it got a very negative reception.

[51:30]So I don't do that anymore.

[51:31]I had to laugh it off.

[51:32]Mine would be,

[51:33]mine would be a while back.

[51:34]Um,

[51:35]they were redoing the,

[51:36]the blacktop,

[51:37]the cement in our street.

[51:38]And they said,

[51:39]don't drive on it.

[51:40]And one day I,

[51:41]I had nowhere else to park,

[51:42]like within six block radius.

[51:43]And I drove over the damn thing.

[51:44]I knew it wasn't going to matter,

[51:45]but I drove over it.

[51:46]Someone saw me doing it.

[51:47]They got really annoyed with me and you know what?

[51:48]They were right.

[51:49]Doing it.

[51:50]Nice.

[51:51]They were right.

[51:52]Right.

[51:53]I was in the wrong.

[51:54]Yeah.

[51:55]It's kind of like that pervert with my dog.

[51:56]You know what I mean?

[51:57]Like I knew he was right,

[51:58]but I still had to call him a pervert publicly.

[51:59]It's just the way it goes.

[52:02]Sorry.

[52:03]Well,

[52:04]you said that was kind of.

[52:05]You're getting called out as a pervert.

[52:06]I didn't remember the story.

[52:07]Oh,

[52:08]come on Aaron.

[52:09]It should be the front of your head right now.

[52:11]Uh,

[52:12]all right,

[52:13]listen,

[52:14]let's talk about American beauty by the grateful dead.

[52:15]Okay.

[52:16]We're finally into our jam band era.

[52:18]We haven't had a real jam band before this,

[52:20]right?

[52:21]Maybe the almonds a little bit.

[52:22]Oh yeah.

[52:23]Almonds.

[52:24]Almonds would be the one,

[52:25]right?

[52:26]Some people think like,

[52:27]uh,

[52:28]you know,

[52:29]kind of fall into some of that stuff.

[52:30]You had a pearl.

[52:31]Crosby,

[52:32]Stills,

[52:33]Nash.

[52:34]So what is your guys's relationship before we start?

[52:35]What is your guys's relationship with the grateful dead?

[52:36]Now I have said in the past and it got edited out cause it sounded creepy.

[52:39]I was always a fan of the grateful dead just because attractive women in my high school

[52:43]wore the shirts.

[52:44]So to me,

[52:45]that's what I have always associated with it.

[52:47]Are you going to edit that out again now?

[52:49]Or do we have to?

[52:50]Yeah.

[52:51]Cause it didn't really,

[52:52]you guys didn't really respond in a way I liked it.

[52:53]It made me sound weird,

[52:54]um,

[52:55]which I would never want to do on this podcast.

[52:57]Um,

[52:58]but I,

[52:59]I have to say like,

[53:00]to me,

[53:01]my friends growing up were really into jam bands.

[53:02]They would go to see fish.

[53:03]They were,

[53:04]I just could never.

[53:05]And so it was kind of a little grateful dead in there too.

[53:07]I just could never get into it,

[53:08]but I,

[53:09]I liked this album.

[53:10]I thought it sounded cool.

[53:11]I like bluegrass.

[53:12]I like this country sound.

[53:13]I just can't get into jam bands.

[53:14]I don't know.

[53:15]What about you guys with the grateful dead?

[53:16]I,

[53:17]I'll go for,

[53:18]I mean,

[53:19]I've always been kind of grateful dead adjacent.

[53:22]I like the almond brothers way more than I like the grateful dead,

[53:25]but I like the grateful dead.

[53:26]Um,

[53:27]I kind of got into the jam band scene.

[53:30]Uh,

[53:31]Scott from Alexandria.

[53:33]Now a few people know who that is.

[53:35]Um,

[53:36]got into a band called widespread panic,

[53:39]which was much more guitar heavy.

[53:42]And so that's really my jam for jam bands.

[53:46]Museum air quotes here is just a lot more heavier guitar than,

[53:50]than what this is.

[53:51]I mean,

[53:52]I think I've said it a few times,

[53:53]fish.

[53:54]I really don't.

[53:55]I mean,

[53:56]I,

[53:57]I,

[53:58]I,

[53:59]you know,

[54:00]I,

[54:01]I,

[54:02]I,

[54:03]I,

[54:04]I,

[54:05]I know that's the wrong band.

[54:06]I know it.

[54:07]Yeah.

[54:08]I love it.

[54:09]I,

[54:10]I,

[54:11]I,

[54:12]I,

[54:13]I,

[54:14]they have some,

[54:15]they have some hard,

[54:16]they've got some radio songs,

[54:17]you know,

[54:18]all of a sudden kind of a thing.

[54:19]I think it's,

[54:20]it's kind of like video games for me where I just,

[54:21]I'm not good at video games.

[54:22]And so I never got into video games.

[54:23]Cause every time I'd play with somebody,

[54:24]they would just kick the shit out of me.

[54:25]They would just kick the shit out of me.

[54:26]And it's kind of like the grateful dead.

[54:28]I mean,

[54:29]there's,

[54:30]there's some pretty good,

[54:31]like Tik TOKs and Instagrams where they will play a live show.

[54:33]And then they'll ask these dead heads,

[54:35]like,

[54:36]when was this from?

[54:37]And this guy will be like,

[54:38]oh,

[54:39]you know,

[54:40]well,

[54:41]I mean,

[54:42]I can kind of hear this instrument in the background.

[54:43]So it had to be between 80 and 83.

[54:44]And you know,

[54:45]the voice is a little tired here.

[54:46]So it must've been at the end of a show.

[54:48]So I'm going to say a December of 81.

[54:50]And the guy would be like,

[54:51]actually it was January of 82.

[54:52]And they're like,

[54:53]deadhead.

[54:54]Oh,

[54:55]and they're like dead on.

[54:56]So there's some people that are such big dead heads that it's like,

[54:59]like Russell,

[55:00]we should probably not put in our description.

[55:02]We're the number one grateful dead podcast,

[55:05]because we will get vitriol from thousands of people.

[55:09]If we just said,

[55:10]you know,

[55:11]we're an,

[55:12]we're an average ratings,

[55:13]Matt.

[55:14]Yeah.

[55:15]Do we think this is going to be a highly downloaded podcast then?

[55:17]But can you imagine old stoners being mad at us on the computer?

[55:21]Crazy.

[55:22]I think there'll be a few,

[55:23]a few,

[55:24]but it's almost like there's,

[55:25]there's such a popular jam and like,

[55:27]I just,

[55:28]I'll never be able to understand all of the nuances there.

[55:32]They're a live band that does albums as opposed to a studio album that does

[55:37]live shows.

[55:38]And so I,

[55:39]I dunno,

[55:40]it's like,

[55:41]it's a,

[55:42]it's very intimidating to me to try to dive into the,

[55:44]the grateful dead,

[55:45]if that makes sense.

[55:46]Well,

[55:47]and I,

[55:48]you know,

[55:49]I,

[55:50]I do think we,

[55:51]we've talked about this before.

[55:52]Some of these bands are just better live.

[55:53]I would say the Dolphins lament.

[55:54]I love uncle John's band and sugar magnolia.

[55:55]And I know almost nothing else.

[55:56]I think uncle John's band would have been one that was on Russell's wind amp.

[55:57]So that's fine.

[55:58]No,

[55:59]there,

[56:00]I think I had two on the wind amp.

[56:01]The one,

[56:02]my favorite,

[56:03]the song I know from the grateful that,

[56:04]and I'm not,

[56:05]I don't know all the grateful dead stuff.

[56:06]I wouldn't be considered a dead head.

[56:07]That's beyond,

[56:08]beyond my music knowledge.

[56:09]But my relationship comes through bill Walton.

[56:10]Bill Walton is probably one of the most famous dead heads ever.

[56:11]It's like,

[56:12]you know,

[56:13]it's like,

[56:14]you know,

[56:15]it's like,

[56:16]you know,

[56:17]it's like,

[56:18]you know,

[56:19]Bill Walton. Bill Walton is probably one of the most famous Deadheads ever. It's like if you're a basketball fan, he was always talking about the Grateful Dead. But he, for a while, had a show where I think he would like go through the U.S. and the song that played for his show. I don't remember what the TV show was, but they would play Truckin was like the theme show to his TV show that he had for a few years. So for me, the Grateful Dead brings back Bill Walton. Throw it down, big man. Throw it down.

[56:45]I cannot believe that your favorite Grateful Dead song is not Touch of Gray, Russell.

[56:51]To me, that makes a lot more sense.

[56:55]If I just had a touch, I wouldn't have a word in here, Rob.

[56:59]Blackjack dealers wouldn't ask me how old I was if I had a touch of gray.

[57:04]Listen, when blackjack dealers are concerned for you, you've hit the absolute bottom.

[57:09]Can you imagine the shit they see that they're like, bro, are you doing okay?

[57:12]By the way, Russell's saying that you shouldn't.

[57:15]You shouldn't go to the bar after like the bar closes to get drinks.

[57:18]It does make me think of Las Vegas where Russell's the king of being like, okay, we're going back to the hotel room.

[57:23]The Russell's like, guys, I'm just going to sit down and play a couple more hands.

[57:27]And then the next morning, every time we're like, Russell, how'd it go?

[57:29]He's like, I couldn't grab my chips.

[57:31]I didn't know what was going on, you know, or he won a thousand dollars.

[57:35]Kirk, there he is.

[57:37]Can you hear?

[57:38]They can hear you on the microphone.

[57:39]You can say hello.

[57:40]Hi, boys.

[57:42]How are you?

[57:42]Doing well.

[57:43]Great.

[57:43]You saw a crazy football.

[57:45]Game yesterday.

[57:46]Yeah, quite a deal.

[57:47]I'm just, I was more concerned about a couple of things.

[57:49]Last night, Aaron had me eat some catfish or a catfish.

[57:54]Aaron should not be making people eat his stuff.

[57:59]Listen to this, Uncle John.

[58:01]Listen to this.

[58:01]Hold on.

[58:02]He's got this foot fetish.

[58:05]What the hell is that all about?

[58:06]Oh, my God.

[58:07]This is the greatest podcast of all time.

[58:10]Unbelievable.

[58:11]You knew.

[58:12]Let's finish it, guys.

[58:13]I could hardly.

[58:15]I listen to you every week, and I just, it's amazing sometimes.

[58:19]We appreciate it so much, and we're sorry that we woke you up this morning by demanding

[58:25]that Aaron gets up and does the podcast.

[58:27]We yelled at him.

[58:27]Well, you know, I'm an old fart, and sleep is important to me.

[58:30]That's for damn sure.

[58:31]You needed it today.

[58:32]Absolutely did.

[58:33]You needed it today.

[58:34]Carry on, guys.

[58:35]Do a good job.

[58:36]Well, we appreciate it.

[58:37]Thank you.

[58:38]Take care.

[58:38]Bye-bye.

[58:39]Okay, this is, so we're talking American Beauty.

[58:42]It comes out in 1970.

[58:43]This is their second album of 1970.

[58:45]This is really Jerry Garcia and this guy, Robert Hunter, at their kind of peak.

[58:49]Now, Robert Hunter never played with the band.

[58:52]He was just a lyricist who wrote a lot of these songs, and basically, this is kind of

[58:58]a double album, kind of with Working Man, the album they released earlier that year,

[59:02]but this has a little bit more country, a little bit more bluegrass, and you can hear

[59:06]it because Jerry Garcia is playing more pedal steel guitar on this album, and this is the

[59:12]first time where they had a full-time mandolin player, so they're really kind of getting

[59:15]into that scene.

[59:16]By the way, Robert Hunter, the lyricist, was one of the guys involved in that LSD experiment

[59:20]out in California, where they were really taking the psychotropic, so that's a big part

[59:25]of this kind of Grateful Dead, I guess, aura, if you want to talk about it that way.

[59:29]This album comes out right after, now think about this, the dad of the drummer, Mickey

[59:35]Hart, was their manager of the band, and they found out that he had just skipped town with

[59:41]$70,000 of the Grateful Dead's money.

[59:43]Ooh.

[59:44]So, you're kidding me.

[59:45]Kids in a band, you become the manager, and then you leave over $70,000 in 1970?

[59:51]That's crazy to me.

[59:52]Listen, I've had some bad moments as a parent.

[59:55]I have never skipped town after managing my kid's band with $70,000.

[60:00]Wait, no, not $70,000.

[60:02]Maybe $69,000.

[60:05]But would you?

[60:06]Well, I don't know.

[60:08]I can get away from my family, and I got $70,000?

[60:10]Let me think about that.

[60:12]In U.S. dollars, and I'll do the...

[60:14]I'll do the conversion for you, Rob.

[60:16]Okay, good.

[60:16]Thank you.

[60:17]And they said that at the time at the studio, they were there with Grace Slick from Jefferson

[60:22]Airplane, Santana, Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, and they said a lot of their singing, they

[60:27]actually got from Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, and that's why you can hear so many harmonies

[60:31]on this album.

[60:32]When you think about, compare them to Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, I think you really hear

[60:36]it on this album.

[60:36]This album was their most successful commercial release.

[60:40]It got up all the way up to 30.

[60:41]The song Truckin' got up to 64, which is really their only commercial hit.

[60:44]Until A Touch of Grey, which actually was a surprise hit that came out like 15 years

[60:48]later.

[60:49]So let's get into American Beauty, and we're going to start with Box of Rain.

[60:54]The song, this is one of the albums where they actually, the other members of the band

[60:58]contribute a lot.

[60:59]This is bassist Phil Lesch.

[61:00]It's his song.

[61:01]He's singing it.

[61:02]And one of the interesting things about the bass playing to Phil Lesch is that he was one

[61:06]of these bass players like Jack Bruce who said, hey, the bass can be part of the melody.

[61:10]It doesn't just have to keep time.

[61:11]It can be a more interesting instrument.

[61:13]And you really hear that.

[61:14]You really hear that throughout this album.

[61:15]I was reading, this was inspired by vocal harmonies from Crosby, Stills, and Nash.

[61:22]This is what this whole album sounds like.

[61:24]Very similar, right?

[61:25]Yeah, you're right.

[61:26]Very much so.

[61:27]Yeah, with the harmonies in there, yeah.

[61:29]Phil Lesch did not sing this song at concert barely ever because he actually damaged his

[61:37]voice through improper singing technique, which makes me a little worried, guys.

[61:41]I'm going to be honest with you, with my parody songs.

[61:44]I could be blowing up my voice.

[61:45]I can't remember what the most extreme version of your voice was.

[61:51]It's when I tried doing the ACDC high voice.

[61:56]That was the, that's when I knew that maybe singing was not in my future.

[62:03]Next up, I love this song, Friend of the Devil.

[62:07]I used to have this on my Winamp.

[62:08]And this is,

[62:09]it's kind of a fun,

[62:14]it's got covered by Loggins and Messina, Tom Petty, Counting Crows.

[62:19]It's got a little pickup to it.

[62:23]Nice, catchy tune.

[62:24]So, I'm going to ask a dumb question.

[62:25]Who's singing on this one?

[62:26]This is,

[62:29]I want to say this is Jerry Garcia, but I'm not sure.

[62:33]Sounds like Jerry.

[62:33]It's tough, though, because there's so many voices on this.

[62:38]I think also I, like as a kid, The Grateful Dead, all of that,

[62:42]like Skull,

[62:43]Skull is so iconic, right?

[62:45]So, I just, like, as a kid, I thought they were like a scary band, right?

[62:50]Like, you would see their imagery, and then when I finally heard them,

[62:53]I was like, oh, this music's so nice.

[62:55]Like, I expected it to be like, I don't know what I thought.

[62:58]Currents don't match the drapes, do they, Aaron?

[62:59]Yeah, right, yeah.

[63:00]Oh, my God.

[63:02]Speaking of touch of gray.

[63:03]Now, here's the thing, is that you, all I remember,

[63:08]one of the few things I remember from middle school

[63:10]is somebody gave a report on Jerry Garcia.

[63:12]I almost said Jerry Garcia.

[63:13]On Jerry Garcia.

[63:14]That was good stuff.

[63:15]And said that he is missing half of his ring finger

[63:19]due to a sledding accident.

[63:21]When he was a kid, a sled ran over his finger and chopped it off,

[63:25]and he became a guitar player.

[63:27]That always scared the hell out of me

[63:28]when I thought about being hurt in a sledding accident.

[63:30]My number one sledding accident was somebody hitting me on a tube,

[63:33]and I flipped over them, like that famous newscaster who did that.

[63:36]You guys have any major sledding incidents growing up?

[63:39]We had the back hill across the street that would go onto the pond,

[63:43]I think I've told you guys this before,

[63:44]where it was essentially, I don't know how to put this right.

[63:49]There was a game you would play with football

[63:52]where you'd try to tackle everyone.

[63:54]It had an inappropriate name when we were kids.

[63:55]We don't need to mention that,

[63:56]but it was kind of that version of sledding down the hill.

[63:58]So it was, everyone's on sleds to start.

[64:01]It's a race to the bottom, but anything goes.

[64:03]So it's like tackling off of sleds, pulling people off of sleds.

[64:07]It was like essentially a war to the bottom.

[64:09]That was a big thing we did for probably about four or five years when we were kids.

[64:13]I love Russell's old neighborhood stories.

[64:15]What do you think kids would have said to you, Russell,

[64:16]if you would have showed up with a helmet?

[64:18]Like I would have made my kids aware if they were doing that activity.

[64:21]You think they would have said it like-

[64:23]I probably would have gone over well.

[64:23]I think we used to make fun of kids like if they would wear knee pads

[64:28]when we'd play roller hockey.

[64:29]Like there was no quarter given for people that wanted to take safety measures.

[64:33]Sugar Magnolia.

[64:34]This is Bob Weir.

[64:37]This is a jam.

[64:38]This is about-

[64:43]This is about a wife of somebody who's on tour, always supporting them no matter what they do.

[64:48]Always supporting them no matter what they do.

[64:50]Oh, that's sweet.

[64:51]I just always figured that Jerry Garcia was the lead singer of the Grateful Dead.

[64:57]And like they were just the standard band.

[64:59]And, you know, like, so I don't think I got them at first and you really don't get them.

[65:03]And then kind of the jam bands are kind of like that too.

[65:05]Everybody comes in and sings different parts and all that stuff.

[65:08]There is a really good documentary called The Other One, The Long Strange Trip.

[65:13]It's about Bob Weir that came out in 2015, 2014, something like that.

[65:17]And I think it's on Netflix.

[65:18]And it's really worth a watch because it kind of-

[65:22]I mean, he's kind of like the secondary-

[65:23]Him and Phil Lester are kind of the secondary figures,

[65:25]even though they are main parts of the band.

[65:27]And it's a good watch just to see how popular he was.

[65:30]And he was kind of the younger one in the group.

[65:31]And, you know, he kind of came into his own a little bit later and stuff.

[65:35]So, I don't know.

[65:35]It's just another good documentary.

[65:36]I know you love watching these music documentaries.

[65:39]Because they're kind of a collective, right?

[65:41]You didn't think of it as a-

[65:42]Yeah.

[65:43]It's kind of like this podcast, Rob, right?

[65:45]Yeah.

[65:46]There's not a lead singer.

[65:47]There's a collective.

[65:48]No, but everybody thinks that there is a lead singer.

[65:51]And that's actually-

[65:53]Sometimes people think that's maybe the most important part.

[65:54]This is one of the albums-

[65:58]A pull.

[65:58]This is one of the albums that we listen to on this list where I'm like,

[66:01]I should have been listening to these guys when I was younger.

[66:04]I would have gotten into this music.

[66:05]I think for sure.

[66:07]Well, I think you would have for sure.

[66:08]This is everything I like.

[66:09]It's Operator.

[66:12]Like Jim Croce there.

[66:13]Smoking weed and tie-dye.

[66:14]Everything you like.

[66:15]I talk about tie-dye.

[66:18]You're right.

[66:19]You nailed it.

[66:20]When you put it that way, it sounds a little different.

[66:22]It's probably not too late to go to a great-

[66:24]Well, we can go to a Dead & Company show at the Sphere, right?

[66:28]I was just looking at it.

[66:30]I didn't realize that Phil Lesh wasn't playing with Dead & Company.

[66:33]I just assumed he was, but he didn't play with it.

[66:35]He still kept with Phil Lesh and friends.

[66:38]I've heard other podcasts talk about the Sphere and Dead & Company.

[66:40]Is that the current-

[66:42]Is that the current version of the Grateful Dead?

[66:43]Is it a cover band?

[66:44]What is Dead & Company?

[66:45]It's the current version.

[66:46]So it's Bob Weir, basically, is the one who put it together.

[66:49]Then I think Mickey-

[66:50]Is Mick Hart-

[66:51]What's the drummer's name?

[66:52]Mickey Hart?

[66:52]Oh, I wonder if his dad's around.

[66:54]And then-

[66:56]Mickey Hart and then Bill Krutzman, who's on drums.

[66:58]And then John Mayer famously stepped in as kind of the lead guitar slash singer,

[67:04]who I think is a wonderful addition to try to get to him.

[67:08]They tried to get one of the bassists from Phish to come join them,

[67:11]but he couldn't.

[67:12]He couldn't because of his Phish commitment,

[67:13]so they picked up another bass player.

[67:16]So I just assumed Phil Lesh was the bass player, but he wasn't.

[67:19]I actually heard that version with John Mayer.

[67:21]Their audio would be considered audio napalm.

[67:25]What?

[67:28]Never mind.

[67:29]No, no.

[67:31]I want you to explain that.

[67:32]Wasn't he famous for the Jessica Simpson sexual napalm or something like that?

[67:38]What?

[67:39]Wait a minute.

[67:39]Wait a minute.

[67:40]John Mayer.

[67:42]I was going to say, John Mayer.

[67:43]And he dated a-

[67:45]A famous coxswain.

[67:46]One of the more famous celebrity coxswains.

[67:48]You guys don't.

[67:49]This is the worst interviews about sex of all time.

[67:52]Well, you know who he did have sex with famously that I think about.

[67:56]Every time I think of John Mayer is Giada, the food channel host.

[68:01]Didn't he date Taylor Swift for a while too?

[68:05]This girl is like crack cocaine to me, Mayer said of Simpson.

[68:09]Sexually, it was crazy.

[68:10]That's all I'll say.

[68:11]It was like-

[68:11]Napalm.

[68:12]Sexual napalm.

[68:13]Oh, sexual napalm.

[68:14]Russell.

[68:14]Russell.

[68:15]Russell.

[68:16]Here's the ground.

[68:17]It's like the only pop culture thing I've ever nailed on this podcast.

[68:21]Wow.

[68:21]You were way ahead of us, man.

[68:22]Jessica Simpson and John Mayer.

[68:24]Yes.

[68:24]That's where Russell's Venn diagram comes together.

[68:28]Hot, liquid, sexually.

[68:30]Napalm.

[68:30]Yeah, makes sense to me.

[68:31]Can't think of anything else.

[68:32]Let's see.

[68:34]Candy Man.

[68:36]Play this five times.

[68:37]What?

[68:39]Are you going to play this five times?

[68:40]No.

[68:41]I had to do that while you were in a hotel.

[68:42]It would be creepy in a hotel.

[68:44]No, you can play that already.

[68:45]Oh, I was going to say.

[68:47]Oh, guys, we are firing you.

[68:49]Guys, this song is all about him rolling dice.

[68:53]You know what it's getting me hyped for?

[68:55]Rolling dice in Vegas.

[68:57]I cannot wait.

[68:59]Hey, one problem with hanging out with my family,

[69:02]not enough gambling going on around here.

[69:04]Although there is some.

[69:05]By the way, do we need to take two minutes to get our bets in, Rob?

[69:09]No.

[69:10]I've been doing that.

[69:11]Joe has been texting me as we've been.

[69:13]Ah, God damn.

[69:14]You just closed my hand in the fucking closet.

[69:16]Jesus fucking Christ.

[69:18]Wait, is Jenny in her pajamas?

[69:24]Yep.

[69:25]No, this is her formal wear.

[69:27]Yes, it's pajamas.

[69:28]What's up?

[69:29]She is wearing wealthy person pajamas.

[69:32]Yeah, they are.

[69:32]Maybe Aaron, I don't know.

[69:34]Maybe Aaron, I don't think you have these,

[69:35]but this is something like Jerry Seinfeld would wear.

[69:38]He's wearing satin like a button up.

[69:41]Long sleeve shirt with like,

[69:43]these are like wealthy person pajamas, right?

[69:46]Yeah, they are.

[69:47]Absolutely.

[69:47]There's nobody under the poverty line

[69:49]that's ever owned that pair of pajamas.

[69:51]And we already heard Russell before you got on air

[69:53]and before the podcast started,

[69:54]we heard Jenny say that Rob could quit his job

[69:58]and just go to stand up.

[69:59]He doesn't need to be working.

[70:00]He doesn't.

[70:00]So he only does it because he loves.

[70:02]But to be clear,

[70:04]she did say it so they could drop it a lower tax bracket

[70:07]so they could pay less taxes.

[70:08]Yeah.

[70:09]Yeah.

[70:11]And then she wanted him to quit teaching

[70:13]so he could become a famous,

[70:14]so that he could stop.

[70:15]So she could stop working.

[70:19]Aaron and Matt,

[70:20]this is probably the best we've ever done with Rob,

[70:22]but not in like,

[70:23]remember Joe told me that we're,

[70:24]we bombed pretty bad when Rob said it.

[70:26]This is probably our best two minute segment without him.

[70:28]We'll have to have Joe,

[70:29]Joe from what?

[70:30]See how we're doing.

[70:32]Rob,

[70:32]Rob,

[70:33]at least she didn't slam something else into that,

[70:34]into that drawer.

[70:35]Right.

[70:36]I also just want,

[70:38]I want this moment preserved forever from,

[70:41]from someone who has complained so much about doing late night.

[70:44]Never again.

[70:46]And then I give you a Sunday morning and you can't stay focused.

[70:51]Never again.

[70:52]Get the work done.

[70:52]I've got guys texting me wanting to put in parlays.

[70:55]I've got my wife slamming my hand in the closet.

[70:57]And then my kid is arguing because she's been sick for weeks yet.

[71:01]Wants to go to a swimming.

[71:01]You know what Aaron and Matt and their families are going through Rob

[71:06]and your kid handled a little finger in a,

[71:08]in a getting slammed in a drawer.

[71:11]I agree.

[71:12]Russell,

[71:13]I am going through the worst time of anybody here.

[71:14]So I think you're totally right.

[71:17]Okay.

[71:18]I get it.

[71:19]I accept your sympathy.

[71:20]Thank you.

[71:20]Thank you.

[71:21]I'll tell you what though,

[71:22]if this touchdown score parlay hits,

[71:24]things are going to be looking good for me.

[71:26]So don't worry too much about me.

[71:27]Things are going to be okay.

[71:29]Do you ever bet on the London game?

[71:31]I don't want to get into this.

[71:33]Okay.

[71:34]If you do,

[71:34]that is sick.

[71:36]Sometimes I'm lying,

[71:37]Betty ripple.

[71:40]Now ripple.

[71:41]This was,

[71:43]they say that he wrote this song on a half bottle of Retsina.

[71:48]Now,

[71:48]Aaron,

[71:48]I hate to bring this up after last night,

[71:50]but do you know what Retsina is?

[71:51]This,

[71:52]this is crazy.

[71:53]This came up last night because we were talking about,

[71:56]I don't even know.

[71:57]I don't remember now,

[71:57]but we were,

[71:58]we were drinking some wine at dinner and talking about who knows wine or

[72:01]doesn't.

[72:02]And my uncle made a joke.

[72:04]Do they have any ripple back there?

[72:05]And I guess ripple was like a cheap line,

[72:08]but I don't know about Retsina.

[72:10]Yeah,

[72:10]no Retsina is a Greek wine.

[72:13]That's infused with pine resin.

[72:15]Oh Lord.

[72:16]Okay.

[72:16]So George Brett,

[72:17]he's got his,

[72:18]he's got his ears up.

[72:18]Now he wants to hear what's going on.

[72:20]But Retsina has a sharp bracing pungency that some say masks the base wine

[72:25]and tastes like turpentine.

[72:26]Can you imagine drinking a drink knowingly that has pine resin in it?

[72:31]No,

[72:32]thanks.

[72:32]Okay.

[72:33]And ripple wine was another thing.

[72:35]Ripple wine was a different sweet fortified and carbonated wine.

[72:40]A carbonated wine.

[72:42]That sounds good to me.

[72:43]Honestly,

[72:45]it's E and J gala winery,

[72:48]a low end fortifies wine.

[72:50]Yeah.

[72:53]That's what Fred Sanford at Sanford and son always drank was ripple.

[72:57]Guys.

[73:00]Here's an idea in Vegas,

[73:02]Aaron.

[73:02]I know you want to go hiking,

[73:03]but what if instead we buy some ripple?

[73:06]That's about as much as I would.

[73:08]I'll wear a rucksack.

[73:09]I'll wear a rucksack.

[73:10]I'm going to go hiking when we got off the phone here.

[73:12]And I was texting Anna about what I was going to do today.

[73:15]And there's a,

[73:15]there's a Butte right behind us.

[73:17]It's called a Butte.

[73:18]It's got a big A on it.

[73:19]I think it's,

[73:19]I think it's butt.

[73:20]Yeah.

[73:21]Well,

[73:21]I texted her.

[73:23]She's like,

[73:23]what are you doing today?

[73:24]I texted her and I said,

[73:25]I'm going to go up the Butte.

[73:25]And she laughed and I realized why that's funny.

[73:29]So I'm going to go up the Butte.

[73:32]And you didn't even mean that as a joke.

[73:34]Oh,

[73:34]I didn't think of it.

[73:35]Oh my God.

[73:37]You know,

[73:39]I think you guys,

[73:40]you guys know one of the things I love looking at,

[73:41]like how often songs are played in concert.

[73:44]And so this album has been a song from this album has been played by

[73:50]Grateful Dead more concerts than any other albums.

[73:53]But Ripple is one of my favorite songs by them.

[73:55]I think it's just a beautiful song.

[73:57]It's only been played live 42 times,

[73:59]whereas opposed to like Sugar Magnolia is 602 and Truckin 532,

[74:04]but Ripple only 42,

[74:05]which kind of surprised me that that's not more of a popular live song.

[74:09]That's crazy.

[74:09]Now,

[74:09]Aaron,

[74:10]I would just be careful if you do find a treasure trail going up that Butte,

[74:13]look out.

[74:14]Okay.

[74:15]That's trouble.

[74:16]All right.

[74:17]And if Lord don't go to any caves in the Butte,

[74:19]Aaron broke down palace.

[74:21]You guys get any more Butte bits?

[74:25]You know what?

[74:26]We're doing a bit rewind guys.

[74:28]Come up with some Butte bits right now.

[74:29]Let's go.

[74:29]They play this one live.

[74:33]It's kind of a mental.

[74:35]Oh yeah.

[74:36]219 times.

[74:37]Actually,

[74:38]they said that this song,

[74:39]they loved,

[74:40]but they really struggled singing it live,

[74:42]but they didn't play it as much as some of the other songs.

[74:45]Kind of a more complicated song.

[74:47]I I'm telling you guys,

[74:48]I love this album.

[74:49]I thought it was,

[74:50]I not love it,

[74:51]but I'd like this album a lot.

[74:52]I'll pull out again.

[74:53]I'd never listen to the whole album,

[74:54]but I did.

[74:55]I did put on last night on the record player.

[74:57]I don't have it on vinyl,

[74:58]but I did play it through the Bluetooth and just had it going for an hour.

[75:02]This is a great,

[75:04]this is a great chill album to listen to.

[75:06]We were making a charcuterie board last night,

[75:08]had it on,

[75:09]in the background.

[75:10]Do you have any carrots on that charcuterie?

[75:12]There were no,

[75:12]no carrots.

[75:13]Cause you guys mocked it last time and made fun of me.

[75:16]And you know how I take those insults very personally.

[75:19]So I did not do that.

[75:21]Russell,

[75:22]you got to grow up.

[75:22]They put a big pile of arugula on it.

[75:24]Like a big pile.

[75:25]Oh God.

[75:26]Get the fuck out of here.

[75:27]Get out of here.

[75:28]Dandelion greens.

[75:29]Great.

[75:29]Arugula.

[75:30]Arugula.

[75:31]No way.

[75:32]Absolutely not.

[75:33]I think that,

[75:34]you know,

[75:34]the,

[75:35]the,

[75:35]the harmonized songs like that one,

[75:37]I think those are really hard in concert to,

[75:39]to really kind of nail.

[75:40]So I can see where that would be from a live band standpoint.

[75:43]I'll give you guys an update on my record player.

[75:45]I have been having more skipping lately.

[75:48]And so I was like,

[75:50]maybe it's the old record.

[75:51]So we tried,

[75:52]I break out Beyonce brand new yellow records,

[75:55]yellow lemonade colored album.

[75:57]Of course.

[75:58]Put it on skipping.

[75:59]It's definitely the record player,

[76:01]not the records of this.

[76:01]That's good.

[76:02]So I Google,

[76:03]how do I change the needle?

[76:05]I believe it's called a stylist or something along those lines.

[76:08]And I,

[76:09]and I changed the stylus on my Victrola record.

[76:13]Love it.

[76:15]Clicked it off,

[76:16]click the new one on,

[76:17]put it on.

[76:17]Damn thing still skips.

[76:19]Victrola record player is,

[76:21]I think bed it's end.

[76:22]And I will be moving on to a new high end record player before the end of the

[76:27]year.

[76:27]Russell seems like a good Christmas present.

[76:29]Russell Russell,

[76:30]will you get a Bluetooth one still have to,

[76:33]I think you have to,

[76:34]because you have to,

[76:35]if you're going to have a cool speaker set up,

[76:37]right?

[76:37]You still have to be able to,

[76:39]be able to Bluetooth things out of that.

[76:41]You can't,

[76:41]you can't set up a good audio system and not be able to use Bluetooth.

[76:45]Aaron,

[76:45]am I right or wrong on that?

[76:47]Yeah,

[76:47]I think,

[76:48]yeah,

[76:48]you want to have the option.

[76:49]I think,

[76:50]and you want it to be,

[76:51]and then generally the Bluetooth ones have a built-in preamp too.

[76:54]So you don't need another piece of equipment.

[76:55]And Russell,

[76:56]I think what you were talking about earlier,

[76:57]and I totally agree with you,

[76:58]something about being at home alone and you're watching porn and it's not on

[77:02]headphones and you've got a blast and loud speakers in your house.

[77:06]There's something about that.

[77:07]That's so different and so wonderful.

[77:09]You know what I mean?

[77:10]Like you're truly the king of the house.

[77:11]Russell,

[77:12]a friend of ours bought a Victrola for her daughter and it was having that,

[77:16]it was skipping also.

[77:17]And she asked me if I could take a look and fix it.

[77:19]And so I was,

[77:20]I was down at a YouTube rabbit hole where a guy built his own DIY tone arm

[77:24]weight out of some soldering iron.

[77:26]And that was the same YouTube video.

[77:28]I saw it.

[77:29]And I was like,

[77:30]I'm not doing this.

[77:31]I'm just going to tell her she needs to get a different,

[77:32]a different table.

[77:35]Till the morning comes.

[77:36]There are some times like that,

[77:37]aren't there?

[77:38]Where they're like,

[77:38]Hey,

[77:38]can you fix this?

[77:38]And you're like,

[77:39]I know I could,

[77:40]but I'm not going to.

[77:42]But the guy had taken the whole thing apart.

[77:44]It was wild.

[77:45]No,

[77:45]forget about it.

[77:46]So this is Jerry,

[77:47]Jerry on guitar.

[77:48]Is this like the signature?

[77:49]Here you go.

[77:51]See a guitar sound.

[77:52]I have no idea.

[77:54]Love it.

[77:55]They've got like a hundred guitar players.

[77:57]I think so.

[77:59]I think he's the main,

[77:59]he definitely is the main driving force of the band.

[78:02]And he lets others shine.

[78:06]There's probably a lesson to be learned there.

[78:08]If we weren't so busy today,

[78:10]addicts of my life.

[78:11]These guys have to be,

[78:15]are they like a top 15 live band?

[78:18]Like they're following is huge,

[78:20]right?

[78:20]Yeah.

[78:20]Probably top five,

[78:21]top five,

[78:22]Matt.

[78:22]Yeah.

[78:23]Yeah.

[78:23]Yeah.

[78:24]Who else would even be kind of up in the,

[78:26]in the list with them?

[78:27]Are they number one?

[78:30]Some would say Pearl jam.

[78:31]They sell out their album.

[78:32]Top live bands.

[78:35]Hmm.

[78:35]Let me think.

[78:37]I mean,

[78:37]the Rolling Stones,

[78:38]other WrestleMania,

[78:38]I might disagree.

[78:39]Fuck.

[78:40]Fuck.

[78:41]You put Metallica up there.

[78:44]I mean,

[78:44]they're following for live shows.

[78:46]They have a huge following.

[78:47]They call their,

[78:47]their,

[78:48]their audience is called the fifth member.

[78:50]Like if you're,

[78:50]if your audience and your followers has a name,

[78:53]that's,

[78:53]that's got to count for something.

[78:55]Right.

[78:55]But I,

[78:55]but,

[78:56]but you can name Metallica albums.

[78:57]You know what I mean?

[78:58]You can get the live versions or the,

[79:00]the studio versions are the ones,

[79:01]you know,

[79:01]sure.

[79:02]Can you name any other Grateful Dead album?

[79:04]Can you name,

[79:05]you know what I mean?

[79:06]I can name more.

[79:07]I can name more live,

[79:08]live shows that have turned into album,

[79:09]you know,

[79:10]people there's things like that.

[79:12]Then I can actual.

[79:12]And that's how I feel about the Allman brothers.

[79:14]Right.

[79:14]That's why I think they're kind of similar where it's like the live stuff is the stuff

[79:17]that's known.

[79:18]Yeah.

[79:19]Yep.

[79:20]No,

[79:20]I don't know.

[79:21]And then finally trucking.

[79:24]This is a song where all the members contributed about their experience on the road and an

[79:30]actual drug bust that had happened earlier in the seventies.

[79:33]So this is a surprise.

[79:35]This is their single off the album.

[79:38]And uh,

[79:39]their highest charting,

[79:40]like I said,

[79:40]till touch of gray got in the top 10 later.

[79:42]This is a fun song and I shuffle guys as Bill Walton said,

[79:49]it's not how tall you are.

[79:50]It's how tall you play.

[79:51]It's not how high you jump,

[79:53]but where and when you jump.

[79:54]I always love going back to Bill Walton.

[79:56]Love this song.

[79:57]Bill Walton's one of my favorites.

[79:59]Well,

[80:01]and I think it really is like a lot of this album is about them getting older and

[80:08]things happening and it's like for us to be covering this album with all the stuff that's

[80:13]happened this week and you know,

[80:14]it's like so much of this podcast is us looking back on where we've been and what we've done

[80:20]and talking about our experiences and not letting anybody who hasn't been friends with

[80:25]us for 20 years in and seeing what it's like.

[80:28]I mean,

[80:28]that's,

[80:28]it's just such a perfect,

[80:30]unfortunately,

[80:31]it's a perfect album for us to be talking about this week.

[80:33]I was wondering if Aaron was going to lie to his uncle and say he was not doing a podcast

[80:38]because he was terrified of you listening.

[80:39]No,

[80:40]I told you.

[80:41]No,

[80:41]he was,

[80:41]he was cool about it.

[80:42]I was like,

[80:42]I'm going to do this podcast.

[80:43]He was fine.

[80:44]He went down to the lobby now,

[80:46]but he's cool.

[80:47]He listens,

[80:48]you know,

[80:48]he likes the podcast,

[80:51]but not so much.

[80:51]He doesn't want to be on the live show.

[80:53]He doesn't want to be associated with it.

[80:54]Yeah.

[80:55]Right.

[80:55]Yeah.

[80:55]Right.

[80:55]Folks,

[80:57]that is it.

[80:58]And the Vikings are starting in one minute.

[80:59]So we're going to do a quick rating system.

[81:01]Oh,

[81:03]now we're going to be quick on the rating system.

[81:04]Well,

[81:05]I mean,

[81:05]when your state has a professional sports team,

[81:07]Aaron,

[81:07]you got,

[81:07]this is a big pet peeve for him.

[81:11]There's only one first touchdown.

[81:17]Okay.

[81:18]Come on,

[81:19]Aaron Jones.

[81:20]Let's go.

[81:20]Listen.

[81:21]Okay.

[81:23]Is this album at two 15 American beauty by the grateful dead?

[81:26]Is this rolling?

[81:27]Well,

[81:27]tone that means it belongs perfectly at two 15.

[81:29]Now this used to be up in the two sixties on the early list.

[81:32]It got bumped down.

[81:33]Is this a rolling bone?

[81:35]It should have been higher.

[81:37]It's up on the list.

[81:38]Okay.

[81:39]Which of course is a lower number.

[81:40]We should have heard this earlier,

[81:42]or is this a rolling groan?

[81:43]This doesn't deserve to be up this high.

[81:46]Okay.

[81:47]What do we think about the grateful dead American beauty?

[81:49]Uh,

[81:50]Ross,

[81:51]what do you think?

[81:51]You know what?

[81:53]There's such an iconic band.

[81:54]I know they've got an iconic following.

[81:56]It seems like they got to be somewhere on the list.

[81:58]And I think there's three or four songs that I could get down with any time.

[82:01]So I'm going to say rolling.

[82:02]Well-toned.

[82:03]I will,

[82:03]I will throw this on again.

[82:04]If I ever get my record player,

[82:06]the new one to work,

[82:07]I would probably go.

[82:08]And I came across this at a record store for a,

[82:11]for a fair,

[82:11]reasonable price on a used record.

[82:12]I would get this.

[82:13]I'm going to say it's rolling.

[82:15]Well-toned.

[82:15]I would love to have this in my collection.

[82:17]Um,

[82:18]I'm in rolling.

[82:19]Well-toned,

[82:20]uh,

[82:21]Matt,

[82:21]what do you think?

[82:21]Rolling?

[82:22]Well-toned rolling bone or rolling groan?

[82:24]Uh,

[82:24]similar to Russ.

[82:25]I think that the grateful dead is a band.

[82:28]I think this album is here because of the band where they're at.

[82:31]They're not a studio album,

[82:34]uh,

[82:35]outfit.

[82:36]If that makes sense,

[82:37]they gotta,

[82:37]they gotta be put somewhere.

[82:38]They gotta have an album put somewhere.

[82:39]Um,

[82:40]but as an iconic force of nature for American music,

[82:46]you know,

[82:47]I think they are way up there,

[82:48]uh,

[82:49]top 20 band,

[82:50]American band of all time,

[82:52]kind of a thing.

[82:52]And so I think,

[82:54]could you argue that this is not the greatest album album?

[82:57]Um,

[82:58]only because I don't know,

[83:00]there's just not that much of it.

[83:01]I don't think of them as an album group,

[83:02]so could it be lower?

[83:04]Yeah,

[83:04]but it's probably to Russell's point,

[83:05]it's probably great right here.

[83:06]So I'm going to say,

[83:07]rolling well toned.

[83:08]Well,

[83:08]the album that came out earlier that the,

[83:10]that year working men's dead,

[83:11]as I pronounced it earlier,

[83:12]didn't definitely just call it working men,

[83:14]uh,

[83:15]is actually going to be four Oh nine on the list.

[83:17]Okay.

[83:17]So,

[83:18]and you might think,

[83:18]Oh,

[83:19]that sounds like it's toward the end of the list.

[83:20]Uh,

[83:20]that's two years out from the end of the list.

[83:22]Just to let everybody know.

[83:23]Uh,

[83:23]uh,

[83:25]finally,

[83:28]Aaron rolling,

[83:29]well-toned rolling bone or rolling grown,

[83:31]grateful dead American beauty.

[83:32]What do you think?

[83:33]I think it's rolling well-toned.

[83:34]I really,

[83:34]I really enjoy listening to it.

[83:36]I think Matt sums it up.

[83:37]That this,

[83:38]this band needs to be in the top half.

[83:40]We're still in the top half of this list.

[83:42]And,

[83:43]uh,

[83:44]yeah,

[83:44]it's not,

[83:45]I don't think it stands up musically to some other things we've heard or are

[83:49]going to hear maybe,

[83:49]but I like it where it's at.

[83:50]So I'm going to give it a rolling well-toned.

[83:52]Uh,

[83:53]unfortunately you guys are,

[83:55]Oh,

[83:55]by the way,

[83:55]that is after,

[83:56]um,

[83:57]expensive shit by feel a cootie.

[84:00]That's album four or two.

[84:02]That's actually,

[84:02]that's kind of a jammy album too.

[84:04]That's about eating marijuana,

[84:06]Rob.

[84:07]What?

[84:07]He ate all of his drugs to hide them from the authorities.

[84:12]And then he was taking expensive shits.

[84:14]I thought,

[84:14]I thought I was moving to marijuana to get away from the calories.

[84:17]Now I've got to ingest the stuff too.

[84:19]It's like that coffee bean.

[84:21]It's like that coffee I buy where it's all the monkey shit.

[84:24]I got to comb through it and get the coffee out.

[84:25]Okay.

[84:26]But I get a discount.

[84:27]I get it pre combing through.

[84:28]Listen,

[84:29]unfortunately you guys are incorrect.

[84:31]This gets a rolling.

[84:32]Shit.

[84:32]Rock on way.

[84:33]Rock on.

[84:35]Rock on.

[84:37]Rock on guys.

[84:39]When you really listen to this lyrics,

[84:41]this whole album is a bunch of middle-aged guys talking about their lives and

[84:44]who would want to ever listen to that?

[84:45]Uh,

[84:46]now next week we've got either or by Elliot Smith that has three songs that

[84:53]were in the Goodwill hunting soundtrack.

[84:55]Honestly,

[84:56]it's a very good thing.

[84:56]That album was not this week.

[84:58]Oh yeah.

[84:59]For sure.

[85:00]Trust me.

[85:00]The saddest music of all time.

[85:01]Also a sad story.

[85:02]Well,

[85:03]yeah,

[85:04]I'm sure you're going to be,

[85:06]you're going to be over it,

[85:07]but next week.

[85:07]Oh yeah.

[85:08]I'll be fine.

[85:08]Yeah.

[85:08]Uh,

[85:09]uh,

[85:15]one agrees differently.

[85:16]Yes.

[85:17]You want though?

[85:17]If I had a time machine,

[85:18]I would definitely go back and still decide to kiss me in college.

[85:20]Not take back that joke.

[85:22]Goodwill hunting number 77 on the top 100 and one,

[85:26]uh,

[85:27]soundtracks of all time.

[85:29]Are you?

[85:30]Wow.

[85:30]It's all.

[85:31]How do you like that?

[85:32]Apple spat.

[85:32]Yeah.

[85:34]I got,

[85:34]I got a number.

[85:35]Well,

[85:35]the thing about Goodwill hunting is,

[85:37]I know how will in that movie feels to be a genius who gets mad at everybody,

[85:43]slowing him down all the time.

[85:44]And then when he talks about stuff,

[85:46]he realizes that his life is very abnormal and not everybody's buying candy

[85:49]every day.

[85:49]I totally get it.

[85:51]Hey,

[85:51]Hey Rob,

[85:52]you know,

[85:52]when you did,

[85:53]um,

[85:53]that one song at the beginning,

[85:55]instead of rucking,

[85:56]it's okay.

[85:57]Rob,

[85:58]Rob,

[85:58]it's okay.

[85:59]No,

[86:00]Rob,

[86:00]it's okay.

[86:01]It's okay that you missed the obvious song.

[86:04]It's okay.

[86:04]It's not your fault.

[86:06]It's not your fault.

[86:07]It's not your fault,

[86:08]Rob.

[86:08]A couple of weeks ago,

[86:09]it's not your fault.

[86:10]This is the dumbest bit.

[86:13]It's not your fault that you missed the rucking song.

[86:15]A couple of weeks ago,

[86:17]I did say,

[86:17]how do you like them?

[86:19]Podcast episodes about Fiona apples.

[86:21]When you want to hear about the greatest albums of all time,

[86:26]I wrote that out as one word.

[86:28]So I could do the joke.

[86:29]Look,

[86:30]get up online.

[86:31]All right,

[86:34]guys.

[86:34]Well,

[86:34]I hope you enjoyed a daytime recording because it's never happened.

[86:37]I loved it.

[86:39]By the light of day,

[86:41]this is gross.

[86:42]Guys,

[86:44]my name is Maximus Decimus Russell,

[86:46]commander of the Beck did a better list.

[86:48]General of the dating advice corner and loyal servant to our true podcast.

[86:52]Emperors,

[86:53]the dumb shit listeners co-host to you,

[86:55]three pals and boyfriend to an upstairs laundry lady.

[86:58]And I will have my vengeance in this pod or the next.

[87:01]Wow.

[87:02]Hopefully it's in the next laundry lady.

[87:05]That's a term.

[87:07]You called her.

[87:07]Yeah.

[87:08]That's what you called her.

[87:10]Rob.

[87:10]Oh,

[87:11]no,

[87:11]no,

[87:11]no,

[87:12]no,

[87:12]no,

[87:12]no,

[87:12]no,

[87:12]no.

[87:12]All right.

[87:13]Got to go.

[87:14]Rob Calder,

[87:15]laundry ladies.

[87:15]Talk to you later.

[87:16]Bye.

[87:16]You know,

[87:27]this is Aaron's dad and I don't really mind as a lifelong Island picking on Iowa that much,

[87:34]but man,

[87:35]when you take shots at the Drake relay,

[87:37]that's a whole nother story.

[87:39]I mean,

[87:40]how many Olympians have you seen run?

[87:42]And have you seen Mitch Potter famous 400 meter runner for the university of Minnesota throw up after races?

[87:49]I've gone for 49 consecutive years,

[87:52]soon to be 50.

[87:53]And man,

[87:54]you are missing a good thing.

[87:55]I got 10 tickets for the relays.

[87:58]You guys can come down anytime and watch it.

[88:00]Now,

[88:01]the other thing I have a problem with is Rob.

[88:04]You just in milk.

[88:05]Are you effing kidding?

[88:06]Me milk duds are awesome.

[88:09]And how can you go to a movie without eating milk duds?

[88:12]Man,

[88:13]Matt knows.

[88:14]Thanks a lot,

[88:15]guys.

[88:16]You take care.

[88:16]Hey guys,

[88:20]this is Patty.

[88:21]I'm a math mother in line.

[88:23]I'm sorry for my froggy voice.

[88:25]I have a question that goes way back to your beginning because I didn't listen to the beginning of the podcast shows.

[88:33]And I'm wondering about Beck.

[88:35]I know who he is.

[88:36]But I don't know why you guys are obsessed with him or who is obsessed with him or who started wanting to talk about Beck.

[88:46]So that's my question.

[88:49]I also want to say that we're really proud of Matt because he ran grandmas and finished yesterday.

[88:54]All of us who love him are proud of him.

[88:57]Go Matt.

[88:59]Bye bye.
