Beck Did It Better Podcast 1995
About this episodeHappy WU Year. .... this is basically a Wu-Tang reunion album so you KNOW RawGonnaGiveItToYou is going to pop in from the message boards to drop an insane amount of knowledge on us.  We talk about being a Brat about toilet paper and why that it is actually a good idea. Then we FINALLY talk about he Lingerie Football League, Aaron gets into what is obviously a Vermouth pyramid scheme, and Matt talks about his new love in his life.  Then we hang with the Chef (he keeps feeding us!) and talk about how this album came to be and caused problems in the Wu. We basically become the best Raekwon pod

[0:00]Rob what are you a brat at at home like what is the thing like when your kids ask You're like i'm not doing well first of all i've gotten to that thing where i do make a bag For money i do make a bag that's one part of it and but the other what i do now you guys know And i make a big deal of it every time i will never in my house ever change a roll of Toilet paper it's not happening i have never changed a roll of toilet paper in my house and I never will change a roll of toilet paper what a power move if the toilet paper runs out while I'm in the bathroom i take a new roll out and i put it on the back of the toilet on the back there Is no need to put it on the annoying roller thing and dispose of the one no thanks i've never done It if he did that look at aaron's face look at aaron's face right now he would be a Single man if he did that you guys don't get it the amount of toilet paper i use compared to the Three other people in my house Is I bet less than a hundredth of a percent compared to what the other people at my house are using i

[1:00]Use almost no toilet paper i should never have to change the roll okay when i'm here by myself A toilet paper rolls last i don't know forever okay then all of a sudden my kids and wife come Home and it's roll after roll they're just going like it's like it's on fire it's crazy feels like You should share your diet tips with them if you're having clean swipes then you should be Like oh my god that's not what i'm talking about i don't know what it Is with these women they use so much toilet paper it's crazy are we doing a women use a lot of toilet Paper a bit that's how that's how we're starting this aaron i think that's what you were doing You just said clean swipes rob's talking about toilet paper i'm just saying about toilet paper Dating apps what are we doing here that's what i'm a brat about aaron what are you aaron what Are you a brat about at home what am i a brat about at home oh the goddamn oh the fucking Child care we do let's see if you can see we do ridwell so i got this Got this bag back here of plastic bags that are for recycling for the ridwell recycling which we

[2:00]Share with our neighbors and sometimes i don't put the plastic bag in that specific recycling bag Sometimes i put it in the wrong spot if i'm cooking it's like i'm cooking and i open the The yuba strips and then i'm like oh my god i'm cooking i'm cooking i'm cooking i'm cooking Trying to cook the yuba and like i don't want to deal with the bag at the same time Because so sometimes i leave the bag of the yubas on the fucking sane yubas what are you talking About i tried to let it go i tried to ignore it i wanted to stop i'm warning you would not stop You kept saying yubas you did this to yourself yeah yuba is tofu skin so it's like this i don't Ended this now i bet we would top that bob dylan episode from a few years ago What the fuck is tofu skin it doesn't have skin it's a plant

[3:00]But it's when they make it i think when they make it some of the liquid probably flows To the top and then it turns out that probably used to be a waste product or maybe it was used You know some places but it's not even the good part of tofu it's the waste product and you can Kind of slice it and you can kind of make like a faux pulled pork kind of you know texture And then you can kind of slice it and you can kind of make like a faux pulled pork kind of you know I i mean i actually quite like it i think it's a nice i don't want to make fun of aaron i don't Want to i really have tried when i listen back to in the past and i'm being mean to aaron it makes Me feel bad look would i rather eat some chicken or some pork of course but i live in an omnivore Family i have to figure out how we can all enjoy the same stuff sometimes i eat yuba but I'm a little bit of a brat about putting the yuba package into the special Ridwell containers we don't know what that Is Means we don't know what ridwell means we tried to act like we did but we don't like a third party Recycling thing where they take your plastic bags and they turn them into deck boards i don't know

[4:00]It's a thing that i'm not like i and i was really into it so i try to get on board but sometimes i Just can't do the thing where i'm like i'm in the middle of making some stuff and i gotta go to the Other room and put the plastic bag into the specific container and sometimes i just leave It on the counter aaron have you ever been out with your family like in a coffee shop and you go Oh this family is such an omnivore's dilemma And michael poolin looks up from behind his coffee like oh what i wonder if i have been I bet i have now what i just did is very cool russell i reference a book actually second Episode in a row where i'm opening the show with a book reference talk everlasting and Omnivore's dilemma thank you very much i don't know a few weeks ago you were doing some Sub bit on kirkagard or something i have no clue that was an extensive bit that was It was some smart stuff man am i right to make fun of aaron for saying yerba yuba and soy skin At the same time usually you know i'm on aaron's side but i'm on your side in this one rob yes thank You man what are you a brat about at home that's what i meant to play rob's right rob's right rob's

[20:00]Inside your house I was informed tonight that i will be watching the jake paul and mike tyson fight instead i am Watching buffering and freezing i asked to change the channel i was told to give it a chance how Long do you allow this ridiculousness to go on before putting your foot down and demand your Roommate hand over the remote wow russell oh this i mean when a british lady's saying it like you Kind of gotta hand it over you can't be mucking about You said just wait a second that's what you said Hold on there's only so many times where mike tyson's fighting On pay-per-view or netflix or whatever yeah and we've got the big the 80 inch screen Tv upstairs i'm watching this on the big screen right yeah how am i supposed to know netflix is Gonna be buffering 80 inch tv what do you got up there you got oled qled what are you

[21:00]Working on oh aaron's tv shop so i bought a tv on cyber monday and i'm i'm i'm not sure i made the Right choice what's how is it 80 inches how can you make a wrong choice man how big of a tv do You have like i should have gone higher i should have upgraded i think there's a either 55 or A yeah this is a 60 i think down here and i'm a samsung smart tv it's been great all right not Only is russell taller than us and he's cooler than all of us he now has a bigger tv than all Of us most of us already knew all this stuff rob that's that's crazy to me that russell has In case you wanted to feel better i was i did have one of my nephews at thanksgiving a few weeks Ago say i thought you dyed your hair white i'd explain no that's tough yes it was tough that's Really tough it was right in the guts rob right But so i wanted to watch the tyson fight and it kept buffering you guys all everyone

[22:00]Everyone out there listening to this it had to experience the buffering at some point or where You lost you couldn't watch it and i i i kept trying and trying and hoping that it Would work and eventually i had to watch it on my phone but she wasn't thrilled that i kept trying To watch the tyson fight on the big screen what would you guys have done in that situation i would Never ever Ever well i'd like to say that i just wouldn't suggest it anymore but there's no way i'm watching That fight with my wife that's the craziest thing at all of all but but matt the point is is like I thought she would just leave the room i thought she would depart She wasn't departing so what am i supposed to do go watch it on the small Samsung not smart tv that's for sure not gonna work you know what russell for once i gotta agree With you a mike tyson fight is must see tv even if you gotta fight the buffering you're not turning On something else you gotta see that fight because you never know it might be mike tyson of old and

[23:00]Not definitely a 65 year old man who was so out of shape it was and also at that point you're In the what's it was like the second round when that started or had i can't remember if it was it Was right away it was it it was probably in our house an hour of of in and out buffering it was It was bad the whole time guys i have an apple tv directly watching it and i'm like oh my god i'm Wired up to my internet no problem whatsoever on the apple tv it was flying i watched the whole Fight and i'm such a people pleaser that you know what i did i got my zoom out on my phone with joe And john and i zoomed the fight to them so we could all watch it and talk about it you know What though we rob we've watched when you show us like football games and ufc and everything On the video you're watching it on the other end it is a horrible experience i know i appreciate That you do it you're a great guy for doing it but it is the choppiest the Like you there's no point in when you do that i i love you for doing it but no one can See anything when you do that would explain why they kept saying we can't see what's going on

[24:00]That would make a lot more sense that's so weird that's something i spend a lot of time doing People pleasing turns out to not be that great that makes me think about things maybe Next time you should announce it before you do it well that's true too i that's i i do need to Give people more of a runway to get on with my million different hobbies so listen erin were You inviting Would you invite the wife to watch the mike tyson fight with air what did you think no where We going i ended up well you know stop stop i didn't invite anyone to watch it i just Wanted to watch it on the big tv and i thought that was i don't know i think russell at that Point you say i'm gonna go watch this on a different tv i do you just like you got to cut Your losses at some point or i don't or see if there's a is it playing at the bar down the street I don't know erin why are you tv shopping right now what's going on Do you have a tv currently i have a tv but rob you don't want to get into this i got a tv but it Has it has an it has arc but not e-arc right so that it doesn't quite work with the apple tv where

[25:00]It doesn't have it's an older sony it doesn't have audio pass-through so i can't send the audio Directly so when i send the audio from the apple tv to the sonos it comes out in stereo If i want to put it in dolby digital 5.1 i can't send the audio directly to the sonos I got to have the apple tv directly i'm going to tell it to change the audio format then when i do That fucked up shit happens on the picture then when i watch sports on youtube tv the picture Glitches so i have to watch sports in stereo i watch other things in dolby it's just an older tv That needs to be upgraded that's all what's up can i can i ask like hey for the upstairs Roommate that heard that hey me watching mike tyson once in a while isn't so bad is it so you've Got the old like you've got that You hear that We've got the apple tv like plug-in isn't that like out of tune like all the stuff you Can get is just on your tv now even apple and all that stuff i don't know you don't even need that

[27:00]To netflix because jenny does not that's jenny's a brat you know jay's a brat with the remote she Will never use the remote she doesn't know how the remote works she doesn't know i told her to Push down on the remote and she looked for a button called down instead of the remote and she looked at The down arrow she does not know how to use the remote it's crazy so when she has to use it she Can't figure it out so those netflix buttons actually help her i'm like dating an older Woman that's what's happening now you've been yeah you've been married for a while actually Yeah we're kind of stepping back from that we're going back to date let's see i know that's gonna Go okay you're dating your best friend that's yeah my best friend i'm gonna get that down We're talking about technical stuff i know this is early in the pocket i'm gonna bring it up Anyways it's not that early anymore i've started look i've started looking at record players you Guys have told you i've got to update it yep aaron there are certain record players that

[28:00]Have a preamp built in to the record player and other ones where you have to buy a separate preamp Right and now i don't even know what a preamp looks like i had to google what is a preamp like Is it a big receiver is it a little thing i plug in for the person like me Do i go with a built-in preamp to make it easier or should i be buying a separate preamp and what Does that even fucking look like the preamp can be my preamp i'll send you a picture my preamp is a Little red box it's not pretty it's a it's a about the size of a i don't know what you'd like a like An old pencil sharpener and it's got some lights and some knobs and stuff on it and it's what Amplifies the sound so like if you know if you drop the needle on your record and you put your Finger on it it's playing right like it's playing i know this cds are built differently than records Records are going to need a preamp to get it to certain to get loud enough yeah so now what Sheldon at champlifier told me long ago is that the record players with the built-in preamp

[29:00]The sound is not going to be as good that's what he told me so i have an external now did this guy Also sell preamps let me ask you do you sell preamps oh no he did no actually no he did not Sell preamps but he did rip out the preamp of my record player and i'm not going to lie to you Oh audio technology for a price so yeah so i what he told me is it's a better sound if you get An external preamp i don't know if i could hear the difference so for simplicity yes get the one With the internal preamp but and then audio files will tell you it's going to be better if you have An external preamp yeah and by the way russell the guy saying that's better is the guy who Will charge you a fee to rip out your preamp okay aaron is literally just getting scammed over and Going rob's got to be at a pool in five hours oh my god rolling going aaron rolling going how's It going with you it's going great i want to share i just want to oh wow yeah i gotta i

[59:00]Let's talk about rain ghost I this so this is rayquan's debut Album and a lot of people say this is the most acclaimed solo wu-tang album i know liquid sword Is a big one a lot of people are saying this is the top one and this is coming out as saying it's An inspiration for the mafioso rap genre that comes out after this with reasonable doubt By jay-z life after death by biggie this album comes out this is a year after enter the wu-tang It comes out it debuts at number four on the billboard 200 Think about that's a crazy it comes out hits that right away the basically the album is Rayquan and ghostface killer with reza as the director this album i didn't realize it but it Has every member of the wu-tang clan on it it's basically like them all just getting together in A different way like aaron how does this work why is this a rayquan album and not a wu-tang album

[1:00:00]This was rizzo's or yeah this was the rizzo's whole game plan was he signed the wu to i don't Know which record label wu-tang was signed to a record label and then his plan was each individual Member of wu-tang would be signed to a different label so they could just keep turning churning out Music he had control over it he controlled the masters and so it was just a way to pump out more Music and keep control over their own stuff they were a great business collective and so A lot of these wu solo albums because rizzo was behind the boards and because all of the Eventually all the wu is going to show up on this the same with liquid swords same With iron man by ghost and supreme plantel to some degree all these others this was his Plan was we're gonna do a bunch of wu solo albums that come out under the you know on different Labels under a solo name but it's they're going to be wu albums and so eventually you know i think Rizzo reaps the benefits more than most but they all do well as a result well yeah because

[1:01:00]Rizzo basically took they were in his basement or whatever they're in his studio There were no engineers he controlled the whole board He did everything and i do think some of this i think could be i could stand for it being maybe A little bit remastered i thought some of it there's a couple times where i was like i wish This sounded a little bit better it's got a dusty sort of sound to it yeah exactly but he said that Basically it was just they were just like making beats and he would say well i got this beat And it's going to be for this person and then rayquan would just start writing and rapping over It and that's how the song came out i mean this album all these wu solo albums from what it Is 94 to 97 or so like just this golden era of wu-tang was you could pick any one of them they're All great they all have varying levels of who's involved but rizzo is generally the mastermind Behind the sound russell did you look up what cuban links were i had to right away what is it It is the reference to the necklaces they would wear gold necklaces made with the Cuban links which is a kind of style hey rob if you check your mail this week you may

[1:02:00]Be getting a puka shell necklace from me as a christmas gift Wow oh russell you know that makes me think i'm kidding i didn't get you oh i i was thinking Destination you know what i'm saying aaron like a destination like maybe we all need to get a Shell wedding maybe a hotel i had lunch with barry from burnsville and joe from woodbury this I saw that how was that you had a downtown lunch with two of our college buddies yeah and We talked about this like man really fucking need a excuse to all get together we talked about it I mean you i mean maybe you could also talk about why barry from burnsville hasn't been to vegas with Us in 15 years right he's coaching this is last year coaching he's coaching bantams this year and One of our kids has to play a game without us coaching this is last year coaching Well his kid because his younger one will be in high school that's a change End of an era that's hats off man that reminds me of one of the seminars i'm

[1:04:00]You know one of my favorites i never know what exactly he's talking about i don't know what he's Talking about but i just love it i love the mindset it puts you into you just kind of let It wash over you might catch some of it on one listen you might get 20 listens in i can tell You this how is this not a ghostface killer album he's all over this it's been a ghost album right He's on here as much as right mostly him knowledge god this has somebody sniffing cocaine In the background you can hear it but like this Is this i don't remember wu-tang being this violent and i didn't listen to a ton of wu-tang But don't you remember what he was going to do with that hot poker in the first album well that's Actually an advanced course at my sex clinic so i and rob now that you're on these pills He was also going to keep feeding you and feeding you if i remember correctly yeah That's the whole thing with who was they're just ridiculous they i mean and i think they you know Probably were experienced in crime on some level in their real life and then they took it to these

[1:05:00]You know Comic book levels of of violence in their verses aaron is there like a go-to wu-tang book or what What's your what's the source for all the wood like because you got all the info like is it just Wow is there a book or is just everything you're reading or what's or i know you were on the Message board everything i know about the wu-tang is from the message board it's in the early 2000s That's what i that's what i'm gonna give it to you anything i'm learning take anything i'm saying Take with a grain of salt because it's from either from listening to most of these things a lot this Isn't as much but it's either from listening or from a lot of time spent on the message boards i Mean i'm sure yeah there are books like rizzo's published books rizzo's done documentaries himself There's a lot of wu mystique out there's some great interviews with ghosts that are Recorded but yeah for me it was the message boards aaron let's talk about the famous wu-tang Song or album that's recorded that someone paid all the money for what's up with that martin

[1:06:00]Shakrelli yeah was that wu-tang forever that he paid for yeah he bought the one copy of it right Someone Rob start from the beginning what's the story with that for our listeners that don't know that Where to start with that martin shakrelli is basically like he got in trouble for some Sort of con scheme he was running with a pharmacy but he was like the ultimate like rich finance bro And he bought the only copy of this wu-tang album that came out And every once in a while he'll like play it on tiktok or like an instagram live and you can catch Him listening to it but it's very rare so it's like this very mysterious thing that only is that It is intriguing right and it's such a you're right here the wu-tang is screwing around you Make an album and you release it to one person that's wild that's so opposite badass i mean That's crazy guys should we is it make an should we do an episode and only send it to jeff from Apple valley and not let john listen to it oh john oh not that any of those guys listen to it i Would send it to john for me dinah that i wouldn't feel right about doing it he is our number one fan No sometimes you gotta lock it up you don't get to have it criminology

[1:07:00]He's ghost face said that when he heard this beat he said he knew it was gonna be his Incarcerated scar faces Who was it rizza said he was making this for gizza but then Gray heard this beat and wrote some lyrics and boom they had a song does he go by gizza aaron or Can you i've heard it from that gizza but i i mean yes they say just if they're like when Method man says it like on on the record that's gizza okay that's just what i said gizza now i Can go back and edit that in make you guys appear fools these are i think this is really i think This is really exemplifies the rizza drum sound like he was always going i mean that's the thing

[1:08:00]About the rizza sound he was heading toward jazz he was Borrowing a lot and i mean he did a lot from stacks and so he's like really specific in his His sound and where it's coming from and i think you know it sits right along tribe and other Things of that era where it was really looking at jazz and soul of the 60s whereas other People took things in different directions and now i mean back then we had the gizza And we had the rizza and now we have big aj and the rizzler i don't i don't know what that is You guys know what the costco guys are i've never been to costco i have never been saying yes okay What's the costco in the sam's club what type what's that called like a big box store No you need like a membership right i've i have never been in a membership store i've never been In a costco i've never been in this i've never been in a sam's club i've never walked into one I mean either listen guys i just want the audience to realize this and i know there's some very

[1:09:00]I'm talking to here i am trying to do a podcast to be funny and these guys don't even know who The costco guys are that's crazy to me that when i say the rizzler it means nothing to you guys Just i'm looking back i'm saying the rizzler and they're looking at me with the blank as the faces Sleeping so we don't know if matt knows he's asleep but russell and i don't know man I mean i know who the rizzler is goes our rizza considers this his favorite no no A few weeks ago It's funny that rob's the only one like the whole text chain that like always sends over tiktoks And he's the one who thinks that we're the ones that are the dumb asses or whatever we're not Being in tiktok he's the one who's got it every time i click on it it takes me to download an app And i'm like nope not doing it i'm out listen if the chinese haven't figured me out by now with My habits i bet this guy would like busty women walking toward him in an office hey nihao i

[1:10:00]Appreciate it thank you so much rob who on the text chain other from joe john from watana Is most likely to have the tiktok app and seeing what you're sending out there oh i if a tiktok is Is texted in a forest where there's no listeners does anybody hear it i think barry from burnsville Is you think he's got it i think him yeah i think he does maybe secretly on a burner but he's Got it iotine this is featuring inspected deck one of my favorites Rebel inf The rhyme schemes in the in his lyrics are crazy i think deck is like the The real unsung guy and he never had a big hit solo album the way ray goes to method man Jizza rizza did so i feel like he never quite got the solo shine i don't know why that is But his solo stuff never quite hit so good now i think he might have been one of the elder

[1:11:00]Elder statesman too but i have to look that up can it all be so Simple he's 54 remix this is a remix of their song off Erin how do they split the money on an album like this you get paid for like doing a verse on a Track or how does that work you know i think that did end up being problematic for them i think i Think they ended up having some disagreements i think it was going to be yeah i don't know how You split it but i think that did end up causing some and they essentially broke up for A long time and have broken up and then tried to get back together but i know i think there have Been some money disagreements you're right this it's much easier to split things four ways when It's zero there's nothing to split yeah there's nothing to split even i can do that math matt While you are looking up members of the wu-tang i think it would be fun to read out the real names Of ray and ghost if you got those up well inspect the deck is jason richard hunter love it Who else do you want ghostface killer see if i can get that one i think it i believe it is

[1:12:00]Dennis coles dennis david coles there we go there you go who's the other one you wanted Ray kwan what's ray kwan's real name his government name if you will it's my government yeah what's my Government cory woods oh oh that one's not so that's not so nerdy aaron what would rob's what Would rob's wu-tang name be oh there's gonna be there's gotta be a website for this right yeah What's your wu-tang name okay let's try it i'd probably be jizza wu-tang name generator Generator Generator All right here we go hamstringer what do i type in here let me see hamstring Enter the wu-tang okay so what do i write just type your name okay we're not gonna say that loud Let's see wacko ambassador oh i like that That's too bad or b okay russell A and a yep master criminal oh yeah master criminal okay all right take it all right

[1:14:00]Can you fucking imagine doing that it's like it's like oh man this pcp just isn't hitting anymore What if we added that shit that we put dead bodies in oh you mean formaldehyde yeah and Then we're gonna spread it on parsley why are we doing that last sounds like big parsley got In there somehow we gotta get in this black dust situation people aren't using parsley anymore There's only so many perkins there's not as many perkins as it used to be i associate parsley with Perkins so strong on top of the omelet every meal at perkins Had parsley they had parsley all over the place i was like there must just be a crate of parsley In the back and just they're putting it right next to my egg every single time it's like your First year out there that's all you do is chop parsley yeah exactly chop that shit yeah it's Like the sushi chefs first they do the parsley can i sell the french silk pie Shut the fuck up and go chop that parsley i noticed this egg doesn't have a giant Sprig of parsley next to it yeah shark and words you want me to like clean up Those syrup bottles that have been sitting out there for shut up

[1:15:00]Hey i noticed a lot of the booths are really sticky should i go clean those no what are you Talking about we will not clean those did you guys have panicookins where you were no i always joke My mom occasionally will go out and meet either my sister-in-law brother or other of her Friends at the pancake house and i always joke and i say are you talking about the panicookin hoose And she gets annoyed with me that i make panicookin hoose juice Yes There was one in kind of the diana richfield border for a long time but Because you know what their bit was what is that if you ordered a panicookin Okay because you know you might not guess this but my family we loved bits We would go places like if they did a song or if they did a bit we were there all the time When we went to outback steakhouse and the waiter sat in your booth we got a kick out of that like Crazy good i might we went to our first tgi fridays and we saw how they were dressed it Would blew our minds panicookin the bit was if you ordered a panicookin which is like a big fluffy

[1:16:00]Pancake a dutch pancake the waitress would come out yelling panicookin panicookin and Then come to your table and we're like wait hold on this is where you stole the cookie parade No this is not hold on there's nothing new excuse me listen the waiters yelled during The cookie parade no we yelled at the waiters i watched the way you held that up you held it up Just like that you joked that they do with the cookie okay for our listeners out there One of our biggest traditions the most important tradition probably the thing that rob has given Us all the most joy with we go out and watch college bowl games every year and we have this Thing where we'll order the cookie sundae like the cookie skillets or whatever with the ice cream Well it started out with just one person said i'll get the one person Yeah and we all started ordering and then it was like the whole dang time you know the chances of Me being the first person to order that cookie was high and then there's a high chance well no i said

[1:17:00]What i said was listen we just ordered a ton of cookies if they all bring them out at the same Time and we have multiple waiters carrying cookies we're gonna start singing the same way that you Were just saying that other restaurant carries those panicookins if they're carrying them all Fancy like we're gonna start yelling keep doing that movement it's right there and they and sure Enough they came out with like three four people just carrying cookies and we start going cookies Parade and now everybody's looking at the waiters we flip the tables on these waiters oh you're gonna Come sing to me on my birthday and have everybody look at me and try to embarrass me well guess what Cookie parade now we're singing at you okay the tables have turned no one's gonna understand this Bit at all no that's okay who cares all about 12 people well that's a third of our spotify Listeners who listen our ice water with ghost face killer this is You The first song for capadona yeah i got capadona in there capadona of course which was who was not

[1:18:00]On the earlier albums because he was in prison but apparently he taught rayquan how to rhyme And was an important do you mean daryl hill yes that's what i'm talking about no i could not Because you know normally with these i try to go through and like have it not play for sure Super offensive stuff that was hard to do on this album there was it was hard to find Bits that were not bad glaciers of ice you know there was the one bit that was not hard to find On this then it turns out rayquan and beck were both asked to be a part of a different album by Someone named flume wow i don't know if you guys know flume aaron is this anyone familiar to you I don't know flume no but this both rayquan and beck were asked to be featured artists on this Rob you know check this song out but you know this features rayquan on the flume album but he's Hit the music The other person that was asked to be on this album by flume was back

[1:19:00]Wow and this is tiny cities featuring back check this out That doesn't sound like back but he's on there somewhere that could be back That sounds like i think so yeah that could be back either way when it comes to be a featured Artist on the flume album who do you think is going to be on the flume album i don't know Who did it bet with rayquan who did it better beck did it better i like that Those are nice kind of fun flume is an australian musician dj and record producer he's regarded as A pioneer of future bass who helped populate popularize the genre that is a thing that struck Me about this album i was listening to today on the very same speaker i went right from tlc into This album and then it just happened again when we went from wu-tang to flume this album is kind Of quiet like it's very subtle i had to oh it's got but it's got a deep bass it does yeah i

[1:20:00]Was listening in my car okay it does have a deep bass if you don't have a preamp though and you Have a victrola like i have it has got a deep treble you're gonna miss it i am a record player God yes russell you better not play that song where they go daddy sang bass mom sang tenor Because all you would hear is the mama's part i don't think you'd know what daddy's saying Can i say this i i you've been talking about preamps and i had a joke I've got two jokes really bring it sometimes your preamps can be louder than amps And sometimes they can be from the navy And sometimes your preamps can have more them because you've been record player All right verbal intercourse what in the hell was that I've heard This is verbal intercourse this is the first this is naz on here first non-wu-tang member

[1:21:00]On an album what a member what a big yeah i'd like to make you wish like could we get a Naz arisa album for this like if we can get back into the time machine can we get a naz arisa album Yeah that'd be great Wisdom body This is a classic wu-tang sound isn't it yeah aaron is there another wu-tang Wu-tang branded album that is on the list or that we should be thinking about before some of the Solo albums or i don't well no i think well i know jizz at liquid swords is going to be on the List and a wu-tang or i mean ghostface supreme clientele is on the list the other because There's only two or three albums that are on the list and i don't know if there's any other albums Three maybe there are four now wu-tang group albums but there really weren't that many because

[1:22:00]Enter because enter the 36 chambers came out then it was all the solo albums and there really wasn't Another wu album until wu-tang forever which was what like 99 or 2000 and i don't know if that's On the list nope there's only one wu-tang yeah i mean that one thing was pretty i mean it's Incredible yeah it launched an entire genre but russia's here's a rate here's actually a Raycon verse i don't even think we've heard a rayquan verse Rayquan yeah he's like he's so obtuse is that a word you just never know exactly what he's Talking about i love that about andy that's how andy defrayne described the The warden when he wouldn't let him no way write letters to get more books yeah okay How can you be so obtuse okay maybe that's the wrong word then guys i met somebody Who was so obtuse that he was up threes Up threes up trice oh three twos abstract maybe this is what i'm looking for i'm not sure

[1:23:00]Ice cream hard to penetrate this is the one everyone knows right yeah if there's a hit It's this one right admittedly this was the one song i knew on the album before listening today Method man it's got all up in your guts so you know where i'm like It makes sense I mean why so i love this track though because like ghost is really good at rapping about love Surprisingly and ray it seems like ray's kind of out of his element like he doesn't Have game and like ghost really i mean ghost does crime really well he does the narrative You know man jumped out of a window in the middle of a crime kind of thing really well but like Ghost rapping about love Is really good he's very sincere and i love that I love your face i love your smile

[1:24:00]What i really thought i'd come up with something did you get a listen to this one in the house or Did you have to turn the this have to go on the your you guys i had this on today and anna was Like i like this what is this i like it she's like i like the vibe and then it got all scrambled And you're like wait wait sit here and watch this for a little bit yeah You know this is there's something about like the drums or the drum machine or the sound that is Very wu-tang yeah it is appealing yeah and you know what it is when you hear it And he's like my nose bleeds snotty like no one else talks about snotty nose bleeds but it works You're like oh yeah this is the sound you need when you're talking about snotty nose bleeds Getting out my shoddy my nose is getting snotty You should have been in a wu-tang man i think i copied their verse exactly there

[1:25:00]Heaven and hell this is method man There's always a slow jam on a wu-tang album like on the method man album it was The one with mary j blige right and then ghost had one all they got is you with mary j There's always something like this they Slow it down wu-tang is for the children man so you let your kid listen to wu-tang today No he was not home today This next song is about mike madano it's called north star This is odb singing in the background He might have been in jail during this one right I don't do any research I was a bigger fan of when john casey was one of them saying Members i was gonna say dino cicerelli i really liked his earlier wow

[1:26:00]Neil broughton had that great verse on the one track matt Yep can't can't play this game with you if you guys got me on that one Can't think of anything any other north stars hockey player i'm still stuck trying to remember The mary j song on to cow darcy walk a walk darcy walk rob go to the wu-tang namefighter Put a darcy walker Name generator hey all you hockey people out there i'm bringing this heat darcy i'm bringing The hot poker to you right now luck okay it's close enough i nailed it beloved bastard That's pretty damn good that's really good i would say that's a good enough joke to get us Right to the rating system and now it's time for everybody's favorite part of the show Everybody's favorite part of the show everybody's favorite part of the show And very popular beck did it better rating system oh yeah go with aaron first

[1:27:00]This time i want to hear his rating for everybody else's okay we are investigating this list we're Getting in its guts we're seeing what this is all about is this at 219 hey guys we're only a fifth Of the ways through the 200s it feels like you've been in the 200s or ever speaking of Wu-tang forever we've been doing this we've been doing this podcast for forever can you look up What our 200th episode was i can't i i don't even want to think about how long ago that was that's Crazy i stopped keeping track a few weeks ago uh-oh here's the deal okay is this album perfect At 219 it belongs here chef's kiss it is right after crazy sexy cool or it's to this out that Would be a rolling well toned or is this album higher up on the list which of course is a lower Number That means it got rolling boned it should not have been back this far or is this a rolling Grown we do not like this album it should be lower on the list which of course would be a higher

[1:28:00]Number more in the future which if we think about calendars again higher number hey this is how Intuitive our system is i looked for our 200th and we had 199 slanted and enchanted by pavement Oh my god and you would expect 200 to come up nope 201 midnight marauders by a tribe it turns Out we did 200 diamond life by Shot a we did that first before oh wow i remember that the dumbest of the dumb no we can't even count That was a great idea that was a great idea we're just like we're gonna shut it it's like when we Were like we should do the madonna episode backwards it's gonna be brilliant one and only Time mike madonna episode oh yeah that's what he said when he scored a goal Oh yeah oh all i need to get by that's the mary jane methods man Song on the tical album jesus sometimes i sing a mike madonna song when i'm doing it I'm driving in a gas Keep going i'm just doing the soundtrack holiday

[1:29:00]Not as many songs about quick trip i need that's got it here's the deal Okay aaron what do you think rolling well toned rolling bone or rolling grown Rayquan something cuban only built for cuban links i don't know if this needs to Be the highest ranked woo solo album i as i said i Think i like iron man and supreme clientele more i know i listen to those more i think a lot Of people on the internet like liquid swords by jizza but i don't actually know that one very well I do know that there needs to be more woo in general in the top 200 so because i love the Sound of the album because i love the soundscape because i love the rhyming i'm Gonna give it a rolling boned aaron gave it a rolling bone that's a good zone Go ahead keep going yeah we're all listening i can't keep going matt what do you think rolling

[1:30:00]Well toned rolling bone or rolling grown i i gotta think just personally i i haven't got into The wu-tang as much as i should i don't know the end i'd rather get into wu-tang the groups as Opposed to the individual albums so i'm just looking at other albums that were coming up next And i don't know if it feels like it fits on the list but i don't know if it feels like it should Be this high for the individual rayquan album itself so i'm gonna say it's rolling Grown should be lower on the list should be lower on the list which means it has a higher number you Know say that right all right you got it russell what do you think so rolling well toned rolling Bone or rolling grown i enjoyed the album i this i'm gonna come back to two i've got two things i Do a lot on on the list or the ranking one when the first album is so damn good it's almost

[1:31:00]Hard to live up so i know this is rayquan and not wu-tang but that first wu-tang was so damn good It's like oasis but this is wu-tang i mean this is essentially a wu-tang album but the first one Is so good and it's like oasis the first one we did was so good the second one to me is not quite As exciting for me the second one i've i've said this a few times with hip-hop albums i'm gonna Read you guys some songs The g-funk intro gin and juice w balls Murder was the case who am i ain't no fun This might not be about rayquan the fuck if this should be higher than doggy style by I'm sorry it's just not yeah it's not i mean like yeah i Get it and so i know i'm unfairly punishing it but until i hear doggy style and i think it's

[1:32:00]Coming up and matt you were saying we've got other albums coming up soon i can't handle any More hip-hop albums until i hear doggy style because doggy style to me is like a top 50 album So i'm gonna say it's rolling grown too high on the list i want to hear the shiznit coming up as Soon as possible i'm going driving in my car i filled it up with gas so i'll go real far i go Get a drink so well we've got about Six years because it's at 340 oh shut the fuck up you gotta be kidding me hey matt you know what That ain't no fun it's at least it's at least three years are you serious how is aaron explain That aaron you're hip-hop you know way more about hip-hop than i how is that possible i don't Know it's pretty far down there but i i think doggy style is maybe more uneven than you Think did you hear the songs i just listed off listen they'll be ball That song's amazing all right and rob pull that up let's listen to that That was the dog pound here right on w balls 187.4 on your fm down you're tuned into the biggest
