Crosby, Stills, Nash, & Young: Déjà Vu (1970)

[00:00]In 2020, four friends decided to listen to every one of the greatest 500 albums as decided by Rolling Stone magazine.

[00:05]This resulted in a text chain that celebrated the music, excoriated the order, and led us to making this podcast.

[00:10]We are far from experts. We promise to do almost no research.

[00:13]All opinions are our own, unless you disagree.

[00:15]Please sit back and enjoy Beck Did It Better.

[00:19]We are all the way up to album 220, and from 1970, we've got Crosby.

[00:26]We've got Stills.

[00:27]We've got Nash.

[00:30]Oh, and a little guy named Young.

[00:32]No, not at all.

[00:34]I don't know. I have this sneaking feeling we've had this one before.

[00:37]I swear we've said we're a huge Neil Young fan before.

[00:40]I just, I really think we've had this album before.

[00:43]Do you guys feel that way?

[00:45]Not at all.

[00:48]I got this weird, I don't know, it's a feeling I have.

[00:50]Did we? Why do you say that?

[00:53]It's like we've listened to it before.

[00:56]Yeah, it's like I'm having this feeling like I've listened to this before.

[01:00]Like a flashback.

[01:00]Yeah, like I've lived this already.

[01:02]Yeah, and what's weird is when I saw this album for the first time,

[01:07]I paid $20 to have it written on my lap.

[01:11]I get it now. I get it now.

[01:13]Listen, crank up the two live crew.

[01:17]Crank it up, Rob.

[01:18]It's Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young.

[01:21]What song did they used to play at Deja Vu?

[01:23]Well, here's the rest of my joke.

[01:24]Like I said, I did some research on this album by searching Deja Vu and Yelp.

[01:27]They're going to nibble on his dick like a...

[01:29]Rat knows cheese.

[01:31]Crew birthday.

[01:34]No, it's going to be a big song called Hey, We Want Some X.

[01:38]I'll leave that word out.

[01:40]Hey, we want some...

[01:41]Oh, yeah, because we're gentlemen, obviously.

[01:43]It just says P, okay?

[01:46]Oh, I see what the word is.

[01:47]Fill in the blanks, Rob.

[01:49]We'll turn this way up.

[01:50]I see what the word is.

[01:51]This is the birthday.

[01:53]They would run the train on the birthday guy, right?

[01:56]Yeah.

[01:56]Oh, I've heard.

[01:59]That's what I've heard.

[02:01]Yeah, in a documentary I watched about Deja Vu, the strip club.

[02:04]It is a great song, man.

[02:06]You know, the research is out of Deja Vu.

[02:11]I went into Yelp, and I searched Deja Vu,

[02:13]and I went there for three hours wearing my basketball shorts.

[02:16]Rob, do we need to clarify this for our out-of-town listeners

[02:19]that don't live off Washington and 4th Street or whatever that is

[02:24]and Minneapolis, that family?

[02:25]We used to play this game.

[02:26]Just west of 394 exit.

[02:28]We call it...

[02:29]Call it the train.

[02:30]There are Deja Vus, though.

[02:32]Jesus Christ, this is loud.

[02:36]There are Deja Vus, though.

[02:38]So Deja Vu, of course, is an adult gentleman's club.

[02:41]Guys, when's the last time you've been to a strip club?

[02:43]Probably three times.

[02:47]Okay, Aaron, you can go by hours.

[02:48]Ten years?

[02:48]Ten years?

[02:49]It is more than 17 years.

[02:52]I know that much.

[02:53]I actually went once.

[02:54]The upstairs roommate, when we first started dating.

[02:56]All right.

[02:57]I got to hear this.

[02:59]Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[03:01]The upstairs roommate, when we started dating,

[03:03]was asking me about strip clubs.

[03:06]I think she was trying to sound, like, cool and, you know,

[03:08]I don't know what you call the right word.

[03:11]Exciting, or I don't know.

[03:14]Little did she know, she was talking to the mayor of Titty City.

[03:17]Titillating?

[03:18]She wanted to be titillating.

[03:20]We ended up, we went to a gentleman's club,

[03:22]and then she was pissed because they did not have the tater tots

[03:25]she thought they were going to have.

[03:26]And so they did.

[03:29]They did not have the tater tots.

[03:30]The worst part was, at this one,

[03:33]there was, like, a gentleman who obviously must have worked there,

[03:36]and every few dancers, he would walk out and just make it rain dollars

[03:40]all over the stage, all over.

[03:42]And the second or third time he did it,

[03:44]this is when I knew the roommate was at least a nice person.

[03:46]She was, like, down, picking up all the cash that landed on the floor

[03:51]and handing it to the dancers.

[03:52]I was like, you do not need to do this.

[03:54]This is not your responsibility.

[03:56]It feels like maybe that's her kink, though, right?

[03:59]Like, maybe that's kind of, like, what she likes.

[04:01]Pretty perverted, Russell.

[04:03]Aaron, this is my upstairs roommate we're talking about.

[04:06]Does she have a clean-up kink, Russell?

[04:09]That's what's going on here.

[04:11]Hey, we better not go there.

[04:12]Oh, I'd be a little ashamed if someone spilled an espresso martini downstairs.

[04:17]You know what I mean?

[04:18]I bet it's been at least 10, 12 years.

[04:23]I think the last time I went was on some bachelor party.

[04:25]I think I got on a bus with you guys the last time I went.

[04:28]I think I went with the pleasure party.

[04:29]I went with the principle.

[04:29]But I went to the, you know, there's that one that's not the Deja Vu on Hennepin

[04:34]that was closer to Target Center where it was, like, the classy one.

[04:37]Oh.

[04:38]Aaron, that's my college roommate you were talking about.

[04:40]You know what I'm talking about, Russell.

[04:42]Are you talking about BJ's?

[04:43]No, it was like, it was like more.

[04:46]There's Rick's.

[04:47]There's Rick's that I want to walk by.

[04:48]I feel like it wasn't, like, a muted place.

[04:50]It's not Rick's.

[04:51]They tried to make it, like, a burlesque-type spot.

[04:53]You know what I mean?

[04:55]Because I did go to BJ's once with a guy who, from South St. Paul,

[04:59]who played basketball.

[04:59]He was a catcher who was so drunk during this time that the next day he goes,

[05:03]that was a strip club?

[05:04]He goes, I just knew it had really nice carpet.

[05:05]Because he never looked up.

[05:07]He was so hammered.

[05:08]I was like, bro, you missed out big time.

[05:11]If you would have looked up above the carpet,

[05:12]there was a bunch of women taking their clothes off.

[05:14]It was crazy.

[05:14]I got to ask a favor of you guys.

[05:16]We have Raekwon and Cuban Lynx coming out this Tuesday.

[05:20]I am going to ask that we are pushing that back a week.

[05:24]And this becomes our episode that comes out Tuesday.

[05:27]Because guess what this episode would be then?

[05:29]Christmas Eve.

[05:30]This is our...

[05:32]Where did the fucking jingle bells shit go?

[05:34]Where did that...

[05:35]This is now officially our Christmas episode,

[05:39]no matter what you guys say.

[05:40]Because even if you say, no, I can't move it up,

[05:42]you guys don't know how to upload a show.

[05:44]You have absolutely no idea how to do that.

[05:46]I don't know the password for Podbean.

[05:47]Well, you know, Rob always asks for opinions,

[05:49]and he never actually uses anything that anybody ever gives him anyway.

[05:52]So, I mean, what's going to be different here?

[05:54]Opinions are like assholes.

[05:59]Made out of hot dogs.

[06:00]You tear them up when your fingernails get too long and you're masturbating?

[06:04]Is it the Navy?

[06:09]I was going to say I love my wife's, but...

[06:15]Oh, I'm sorry.

[06:18]I can't love my wife's opinion.

[06:19]I'm sorry.

[06:23]I thought we were talking about your best friend, Rob.

[06:24]These jingle bells fucking...

[06:26]So, this is officially the holiday episode.

[06:28]Happy...

[06:29]Happy holidays to everybody.

[06:30]Merry Christmas.

[06:31]You are listening to the Tuesday before...

[06:34]How about Happy Hanukkah, too?

[06:35]Same day as Christmas this year.

[06:37]Happy Hanukkah.

[06:37]Rare and crazy.

[06:39]To get in the spirit, let's turn on K-Rob

[06:43]and see what's going on down at the radio station.

[06:47]What's up, everybody?

[18:09]Video breakdown.

[18:10]I finally found the button right when we don't need it today.

[18:13]Oh, we're doing a video breakdown?

[18:14]No, we don't have a video breakdown.

[18:16]Instead, what we do have.

[18:18]You don't want to watch me brag, Gary, just because.

[18:20]We've got an air in and air out today.

[18:22]Christmas edition.

[18:23]We've got the holiday edition.

[18:24]We're going to do an air in and air out about all three of you.

[18:28]Oh, boy.

[18:30]Use the dryer.

[18:31]You don't use the microwave.

[18:33]I used my microwave on Wednesday this week.

[18:37]Wow.

[18:38]What did you heat up?

[18:40]I made some ground beef with oyster sauce.

[18:42]What else was in there?

[18:45]There was some oyster sauce and soy sauce on Monday night for dinner.

[18:49]And then, oh, white rice.

[18:51]Another edition of meal or prank.

[18:53]I was going to say something, but you guys said it was a meal or a prank.

[18:56]It was so good.

[18:58]I'm going to say for sure that sounds like a prank to me.

[19:01]So two ingredients and a lie.

[19:03]Which one did he not actually put into his meal?

[19:07]I actually want to dig into this a little bit.

[19:09]You made ground beef and you added oyster sauce.

[19:11]And then what?

[19:12]Soy sauce.

[19:13]And then you just ate it like out of the thing, like with a spoon or what?

[19:20]With white rice.

[19:21]With white rice.

[19:22]Oh, you know what?

[19:23]That does sound good, Aaron.

[19:24]You always get me.

[19:26]That's the thing.

[19:26]You're like, you always get me at the end.

[19:28]Yes.

[19:29]You're like, wait a minute.

[19:29]Ground beef and white rice.

[19:31]That actually sounds delicious.

[19:32]Brussels sprouts alongside it.

[19:34]It was like a rice bowl kind of thing, like a three-color rice bowl.

[19:38]So you get white, brown, and green.

[19:39]Wait, where did the green rice come in again?

[19:42]Well, the Brussels sprouts.

[19:44]You get white rice.

[19:45]Are we playing the game now or is this like a pre-talk on the game?

[19:49]This is a pre-talk on the game.

[19:51]This is where I'm introducing myself to the, this is the part where the game host talks for about 10 minutes

[19:57]while the game music plays.

[19:59]Yeah.

[19:59]And I introduce myself to the players, not the other way around for sure.

[20:02]Aaron, I would take out the Brussels sprouts and I would replace it with gummy worms.

[20:06]The gummy worms.

[20:06]All right.

[20:07]I like it.

[20:07]Okay.

[20:07]Yeah.

[20:08]Those are great.

[20:08]Let's do this for air in and air out holiday edition.

[20:11]This question is for Russell and Matt.

[20:14]Russell and Matt.

[20:15]Russell and Matt, over under, Aaron spent 50 bucks by now on his wife's Christmas present.

[20:22]Over under 50 bucks.

[20:23]For sure.

[20:24]Over.

[20:24]Okay.

[20:25]Aaron's not a dumb man.

[20:26]His wife is.

[20:28]He's cooler than he is.

[20:29]Is she older than you?

[20:31]By one year, yeah.

[20:33]Yeah.

[20:34]She's older.

[20:34]Yeah.

[20:35]Yeah.

[20:36]She's.

[20:36]She does not like to be reminded of that.

[20:38]He needs to spend.

[20:38]He needs to spend the money to keep her.

[20:40]That's right.

[20:40]Definitely spent way over there.

[20:41]I'll say yes with the caveat that I think he's done it in barter.

[20:45]I think there was some sort of trade involved.

[20:47]In barter.

[20:48]So we would have to.

[20:51]So if he did barter, we have to decide if whatever he's getting.

[20:54]Yes.

[20:55]Is worth $50 of fair market value.

[20:57]Fair market value is over.

[20:57]Hmm.

[20:58]Hmm.

[20:59]Okay.

[20:59]Well, that's.

[21:00]With barter.

[21:01]That's two and a half lab dances.

[21:02]Okay.

[21:02]So let's see what happened.

[21:04]What's the tip or tip?

[21:05]What's the tip?

[21:08]The $20 is the tip.

[21:09]Right.

[21:10]There you go.

[21:10]The action is the juice.

[21:12]Aaron, have you spent right now speaking?

[21:16]Well, wait, what day does this come out?

[21:18]What's Tuesday?

[21:18]It's going to come out Tuesday.

[21:19]It's going to come out.

[21:20]She's going to listen on Tuesday.

[21:21]So I cannot reveal what the gift is.

[21:23]Okay.

[21:24]So you're just going to lie to us and say that you spent $50?

[21:27]This is a great question.

[24:13]no bullbender time going under you're going under you don't think he's wrapped 1.5 presents yet

[24:21]heck no really you think he's waiting wow russell what do you think has he wrapped over 1.5 presents

[24:27]there's a uh putting something in a decorative bag with tissue paper in it counts nope that's

[24:32]not wrapping no i don't think so i think you have to get out the tape you have to make the scissors

[24:37]cut no chance i don't make matt is the only person on this chain i could see matt being like done with

[24:43]this three weeks early like he's probably thanked the day after thanksgiving matt's got his stuff

[24:47]wrapped okay excuse me all of the presents in this household now of course we are going to

[24:52]minnesota so we have to have an early christmas but all the presents in this household got wrapped

[24:56]today by nicole while i was sitting next to her playing video games okay and i chatted with her

[25:03]for a bit until i went and wrote that podcast song which is actually more embarrassing to do

[25:07]in front of this can i ask a question can i ask a question yes for a friend how much how much would

[25:12]that cost to have somebody else wrap i was thinking of that when i was sitting next to her and i was

[25:17]like i don't care whatever it costs it is well worth it i'm gonna guess it's in the neighborhood

[25:22]of five to ten bong rips but you can bleep that if you want yeah well that in that case we were

[25:28]splitting this is hard as rob has ever laughed on the podcast right here what's the appropriate

[25:33]what's the appropriate amount of conversation you have with your housekeeper

[25:36]like how much time do you spend talking with your housekeeper well let's see i had to pass i had to

[25:45]i had to pass two levels

[25:47]to get the bonus for today so that took me about 10 minutes and then i instantly went back to my

[25:51]computer and wrote a very funny holiday song okay that she got to hear me record oh and by the way

[25:56]do you think that song do you think i recorded the whole thing twice once with on the first day of

[26:01]christmas my true love came to me and then i went and listened to the first episode that we did it

[26:05]and i realized it was on the fifth episode of my funny podcast feed so i had to go back and

[26:11]record the whole song yes gotta get it right i did have to i thought to myself if aaron doesn't

[26:16]hear funny podcast feed he's gonna be really upset aaron how many presents have you wrapped

[26:21]right now zero presents wrapped right now wow you guys are right i got a caveat caveat i have to say

[26:29]i have wrapped zero as well sarah's wrapped them all yep she's the saint for doing it and she's

[26:34]much better at wrapping presents than i am so thank you sir yep uh russell how many presents

[26:39]have you wrapped um i have had one professionally wrapped i have wrapped zero wow love it

[26:46]but to be fair i told you guys my nieces and nephews i covered off on them

[26:50]and thanksgiving they were done three weeks ago that's true i was wait wait wait i gotta hang on

[26:55]hang on we can't just let this ride the one professionally wrapped could it have anything

[26:59]to do with the fifth day of christmas any possibility at all wow that's crazy it's either

[27:04]that or the finger bleeping something what what you gotta bleep all that when i asked if you had

[27:12]wrapped presents all you held up was that magnum condom wrapper it's open down in your basement so

[27:17]that's so weird i just keep it wrapped all the time it's wrapped professional to come over to

[27:24]fill that thing up like it's wrapped all the time christmas morning you're like wait wait wait wait

[27:28]wait wait wait wait don't go out there yet don't go out there yet i gotta i gotta do something

[27:31]first he's like lying down by the tree okay nevermind okay i'm picturing russell on his

[27:37]side putting his cock in a condom under the tree okay if i get the magnum wrapper i would have to do something first

[27:42]open it and then immediately go sit in the corner of the room uh to get in my cuck position to watch

[27:48]someone else use it that you know what that would be the ultimate cuck move if they made you open

[27:54]the condom the worst part yeah you know what i mean like the worst part of the whole experience

[27:58]hey can you open this for me be like i guess i don't know how i got it you're ripping it

[28:04]hey are you using the scissors over there don't use the scissors don't use your

[29:14]i haven't picked it up yet carl aaron he sent you that text days ago what are you i know he's gone

[29:19]by the 27th people to come get it out of his house please he was big i know we saw the text

[29:23]the man i paid him i paid him but i have not gone to pick it up yet i mean i gotta get there this

[29:27]weekend i know wow i'm a little sad i'm disappointed with myself as well but we had a day

[29:31]man uncouth i had a day about that vermouth uh next up fourth out of five questions

[29:38]russell this is about man how many inflatables does matt currently own and are up outside of

[29:46]his house right now how many that are up and inflated how many are up and inflated outside

[29:50]of his house right now i'll say 16 okay aaron what do you think up and inflated i'm gonna go

[29:57]21 i'll say 23 what is the correct answer for inflatables the correct answer is only 14 right

[30:04]oh it's only 14 i've got the big the big uh

[30:08]the big 16 foot um snowman i just i shut it down too windy i'm not dealing with this year oh wow

[30:16]we're pulling it out wow the uh the santa in the vw van with the rangers sticking out the back yeah

[30:23]big rip in it they built it wrong they didn't build it where you could put like the stakes

[30:27]in the ground it's only the the ties on the top hold it down so one of the ties ripped open

[30:32]and then i've got uh i didn't put my my uh

[30:38]spider-man hanging from the gutters up this year haven't done that yet wow and then i've got two

[30:42]the grandpa al sarah's stepdad has he's actually repaired four for me this year but i got two that

[30:48]are sitting in the back garage he uh fixed the power sources for those ones so and then i've got

[30:54]a squirrel that i bought that i gotta go put on my dad's yard because he hates squirrels and

[30:58]we found 11 squirrel blow up boys and i said we gotta go put we gotta go put a squirrel

[31:03]in his bushes as a blow up and we'll see how that goes

[31:08]now are you going to bring your own extension cord for that or are you going to go into his

[31:11]garage and use one of his own extension cords uh probably we'll just go steal one of his that's i

[31:17]think that's a good way to do it uh okay final question okay this is i'll leave this up for

[31:23]everybody i'll even let russell answer this is about russell russell is your christmas tree too

[31:28]short compared to your large tv okay now i that's for some reason i have heard some information that

[31:34]there might be a christmas tree that's too short compared to a tv

[31:38]russell uh aaron what do you think is that true or false is too short compared to this large tv

[31:45]you know we might want to go right into rolling going

[31:47]great segue let's talk about christmas trees aaron is it too short do you think

[31:53]no russell is an impeccable interior designer i trust his choices the tree is just right

[31:59]well you might be surprised what do you think is his tree too short compared to his tv well

[32:06]i've never been invited to see

[32:08]russell's tree so i don't know if i can make a comment on his tree and i haven't i mean he's a

[32:12]tall guy and i think he's he's got some big stuff so i'm guessing his tree is just perfect

[32:18]russell what is the answer of course i'm going to see the tree is way too short okay russell what

[32:24]is the answer is your tree too short compared to your tv are we judging the height when it was

[32:29]standing up or when it fell over at some point what are we talking about here we either way

[32:36]we'll take either one what was it two

[32:38]small compared to the tv christmas tree was probably too short too fat may have made a

[32:42]mistake on the christmas tree this year wow folks that was air in and air out holiday edition let's

[32:48]get right into rolling going now russell when you were informed should we start with today i don't

[32:55]know who we should start when you were informed that the christmas tree was too short how did

[33:00]you respond to that it's time for it wasn't the one i chose it was when someone else that was

[33:04]with me chose so i who could that be

[33:08]now let me ask you guys do you own at any point russell did you measure this is a classic

[33:13]upstairs roommate issue did you at any point measure your ceilings before you went out so

[33:19]you had an idea of how tall your ceilings were no i will take the blame for this um this is my fault

[33:23]this is i'm realizing what a hero you rob's a real tree guy matt are you a real tree guy or not

[33:31]yeah you are a real tree see matt's got a different level of patience than i do like a different level

[33:36]of adulthood that it's probably why he's a great dad i just do not have the patience for like doing

[33:43]that i think this is my last year of the live tree and can i share with you guys my story of

[33:48]the live tree this year please now you know you know my of course my favorite live tree

[33:52]is the dolphin's lament

[33:54]so so

[34:01]i don't want to laugh at it i don't

[34:06]we go to northeast minneapolis on the other side of the river you go over like the third

[34:15]avenue bridge or something like that that's in between the the uh the big famous bridge and

[34:21]is the green belt sign still there yeah somewhere over there yeah russell can't see the tree is

[34:26]blocking the window it's too wide this is so we um we go and last year i said hey i thought the

[34:31]tree was a little too hard and part of it is we don't have the easiest house like we've got to go

[34:35]up staircase and we don't have the easiest house and we don't have the easiest house and we don't

[34:36]have the easiest house and we don't have the easiest house and we don't have the easiest house and we

[34:36]do some turns with staircases that aren't the easiest with a christmas tree right right and so

[34:42]last year i thought the one was a little too high i just said like hey i need a shorter it needs to

[34:46]be more manageable than the one we had last year and we have very tall ceilings in our houses they're

[34:51]not like 10 foot ceilings or they're tall very tall ceilings so what um right what a flex but so

[34:57]we get there and this is my or my lack of patience is part of the problem so the upstairs roommate

[35:03]points at like one tree i said no no no she points at the second tree and i'm like oh my god

[35:06]i'm like looks good let's get it but i don't really think much of it and immediately we get

[35:11]it and it's clearly kind of short fat awkwardly shaped on one side but like once you once you've

[35:17]had the guy grab it for you you're pot committed i don't think you can change mind right well was

[35:22]it disturbing to you at all that she saw a tree like that and she said oh this is good enough

[35:26]this is good enough for me this is exactly what my standards are aspects of life right

[35:31]it looks weird it looks weird from what if you look at it from the wrong angle and she's like

[35:36]i love this pretty perverted right i want this in my apartment so so we uh we get the at least

[35:43]weekly at most yeah yeah the gentleman who's helping us out he says hey i don't normally

[35:48]work at this lot i'm helping my buddy so he cuts he cuts you don't do this why is he telling you

[35:52]that what's it what's the point of that did he fuck it up so badly he's like oh my god i'm not

[35:56]trying to be i think he knew he was gonna maybe do stuff maybe a little off and was giving us

[36:01]the warning so what does he do it's a christmas tree well he so he cuts the he

[36:05]cuts the end off you know you got to cut the end off so it drink and survive and everything and

[36:10]and then he he tied it on the roof of my car i don't have a big truck or anything so it's it's

[36:15]going getting tied on the roof of my car so i can drive it home right yeah so it takes him

[36:19]at 15 minutes to get it tied up finally gets it tied up we bring it back and it's just a huge

[36:24]pain it's i'll show you guys a picture here maybe i can uh we could share it on the instagram or

[36:29]something oh oh russell i feel like it's like a shrub that's a little short it's like a

[36:35]i feel like you have the phone tilted can you hold the phone parallel to the camera because i feel

[36:41]like that no it's not tilted russell that is one of the shortest fattest trees i've ever seen in my

[36:48]entire life it's probably six feet it was probably the top is probably where that where most of the

[36:54]branches stop is probably as tall as i am rob so you'd be looking up a little bit it's if butt

[36:59]plugs advertised over the holidays in the back of sports illustrated that is the ad they would put

[37:04]in if it was just the back of sports illustrated that is the ad they would put in if it was just

[37:05]if it was just a picture of a tree that looked like a butt plug that's exactly what the commercial

[37:08]would look like that was a crazy tree okay okay okay oh okay now i'm the only guy on the call who

[37:14]knows what a butt plug looks like okay this is great now we have to talk about this real quick

[37:18]okay let's go on amazon i'm not sure we do it feels like huh oh you know what they look like

[37:25]why is that it just feels like we don't need to talk about it necessarily but okay well listen

[37:30]so this is a very silver right here yep this is well it's silver and it does have a jewel

[37:35]in it as well oh wow okay again i feel like 21 21 bucks for three i feel like that's too cheap

[37:41]you gotta say now that we're doing it you know i mean we used to do the bit where matt would read

[37:46]the lyrics in poetry now we need rob to read the the title of the amazon sex okay three-piece round

[37:53]aluminum alloy couple training couple training i like that indoor outdoor out indoor outdoor

[37:59]it is like the christmas tree russell hey shit it's raining out is this

[38:05]butt plug indoor outdoor fuck like a basketball uh easy to carry well that's good it's important

[38:13]can you imagine if you got a butt plug that was hard to carry guess what that's too big

[38:16]if you can't carry your butt plugs it's not gonna work as a butt plug uh sets plug toy in alles a n

[38:24]a l e s uh adult toys plug relaxing for women men with four hoodies party for valentine's day so we

[38:30]get a little bit off track at the end that's some word salad we get a little bit off track but i i

[38:34]still think i would invest in this any longer in this butt plug could run for president what are we

[38:38]talking about here oh my gosh okay so i did accidentally add it to my card let's delete it

[38:42]all right because the address i currently have is my in-laws so i don't want to misclick at all

[38:47]let's send any of those for the old gift exchange that we've got going on russell easy to carry if

[38:53]it's if it's you can't carry it yeah russell you could carry these upstairs no problem i think this

[38:58]would be absolutely no problem so russell so did did you did you have to like did you

[39:04]say like hey i think the tree that you picked out is a little bit short i think that's an okay thing

[39:08]to say no i you know what i think we both kind of realized when we were getting it up on the

[39:14]truck that we probably made it mistake but you know trees have character like if if the christmas

[39:19]tree looks a little bit different i think you just got it you go with it and appreciate it for

[39:23]what it is and enjoy the good things about it so we get it but rob when you showed us yours

[39:28]yours was bailed like yours was wrapped up like tight it wasn't the branches weren't all so the

[39:33]guy didn't know

[39:34]bail ours either so there was no netting around it to hold it in place so no that's what i was

[39:39]gonna ask because that's that's pretty key if you're gonna be going around corners and upstairs

[39:42]and stuff so i had to get like that through the rails of our outdoor steps so i'm carrying that

[39:48]big tree and like the branches are you know getting hit by the steps or the sides of the

[39:53]walls and everything it was really brutal to get in you kind of you kind of think about taking this

[39:57]christmas tree into your house like reverse reverse blood plug i'm so sorry let me pronounce as well

[40:04]but plug style where you take the wide part up first because the branches are all facing the

[40:08]other way you know what i mean alloys or other or other types of materials you know what i mean like

[40:14]you go up trunk first so that way all the branches are placed yeah reverse blood plug style that's

[40:19]what you can call that now yeah because then they expand once you get in there yeah and then

[40:23]it's like a drywall anchor listen getting that tree out that's a rob tomorrow problem that's an

[40:31]er problem sorry russell i'm listening i promise go ahead so i i get the tree in and the upstairs

[40:36]remain as gracious enough she's helping me um you know kind of put it in the stand put the screws in

[40:41]it or whatever i'm holding up i think it's about as straight as it's gonna get we we put it in and

[40:46]and at this point like it's exhausting right it's exhausting to get that tree through yeah go ahead

[40:52]i'm gonna replay this story uh i'm gonna copy and paste what you just said after this

[40:57]what i just said but you can also imagine that russell is talking about a butt plug right now

[41:01]and the story is i mean just as good it's all right there yeah it's just me so russell please

[41:05]continue about the tree so i i get the tree in and the upstairs remain as gracious enough she's

[41:10]helping me um you know kind of put it in the stand put the screws in it or whatever i'm holding up i

[41:15]think it's about as straight as it's gonna get we we put it in and and at this point like it's

[41:20]exhausting right it's exhausting to get that tree through yeah go ahead so she's screwing it in as

[41:26]tight as she can get

[41:27]and then she says

[41:30]she'll come back tomorrow yeah yeah it's not as straight as you thought it was gonna be

[41:34]at this point i'm exhausted i can barely stand up because it's been so much work to get this

[41:40]thing in there right and so then she's like well now we gotta decorate it and i'm like man i'm so

[41:46]tired because i've been through all this like i've had it screwed in i've you know been trying

[41:51]to be holding straight the whole time while she's screwing it in and i'm exhausted and i can't take

[41:57]it anymore and so like at some point i just sit on the couch

[42:00]but she insists on continuing forward with the with the procedure right so she's like we gotta get

[42:07]out the decorations and we gotta decorate this thing you know it can't just sit there bare you

[42:12]can't just right right right no so i mean you could but what fun is that we get out we get out

[42:21]this box and there are just hooks all over you know we've got it we've got to decorate this thing

[42:26]so then she gets out the lights but she wants to do the lights first

[42:30]so she's she's lighting this bad boy up yeah we start wrapping them around and then we realize

[42:36]part one of uh where things go wrong with this uh procedure our strands of lights are not the

[42:43]same color one is kind of off white and then the newer one we open is like bright white

[42:47]well i would be fine with this upstairs roommate not happy that the lights are not matching right

[42:53]yeah we had a white issue we had a light issue in our place what was your light issue eric

[42:57]the leds were too bright we got to send the tree back because we we do an artificial tree

[43:01]and we got one that was pre-lit and it turns out these lights are too bright so i gotta go back

[43:07]like todd and margo and yeah yeah this is vacation he turns it on and it's let's go out to the tree

[43:13]and he comes around the corner he's like oh it's like indiana jones when they open up the arc

[43:18]the guys are going melting the tree is way too bright oh so you have to return the tree

[43:27]you guys are having tree trouble we got tree troubles man are you returning it post holidays

[43:32]are you going to put up with at this point yeah i think at this point because actually we bought

[43:36]the next tree but that's been in the garage and now it's december 20th we're not going to switch

[43:42]out tree you can't like change horses midstream or say we're in a mud hole or whatever it is so

[43:47]we got to push through wow do the new tree next year and now that you think about christmas trees

[43:53]as being butt plugs i mean this whole i mean this every christmas tree looks like it's going to be

[43:57]like it so at least this holiday episode has done exactly what i expected on this podcast

[44:01]so i did that image in my mind forever uh russell keep going although i have to say we also had a

[44:07]lights issue at my place so we we get eventually we get the lights up and it's clear like we also

[44:12]have a different level of how how do the lights need to be wrapped around like i'm just like i

[44:16]just crisscross that shit around there you know like you don't need to do the back side of the

[44:20]tree but like they had to go around and i knew like when i was putting them up they were not

[44:24]even and they were out of place and they were bare spot i'm just like i'm just like i'm just

[44:27]not good at that stuff so eventually we get them up and at this point i'm just exhausted so i'm

[44:31]sitting down and essentially just holding a box of ornaments and letting her pick out i'm handing

[44:37]her you know let's put this one put this what we'll put this one so we start she's doing a

[44:40]great job you guys are so domesticated yeah we're doing a great job we're getting it all decorated

[44:44]and then i'm accused of losing this uh upstairs roommates ornaments her ornaments supposedly are

[44:51]not in the box there are certain ornaments that she had gotten that and she accused me she says

[44:57]were they wrapped in a garbage bag

[45:01]does she pack them away in a garbage bag i mean

[45:07]it's been it's been done before wow so she's she's not happy at one point accuses me she goes

[45:18]i'm pretty like i specifically remember last year you saying we weren't going to put our

[45:22]ornaments in the same box you were just going to keep yours separate and i go i don't remember

[45:26]doing that at all oh yeah

[45:27]yes and about 10-15 minutes later her ornaments showed up they were sitting right there in a

[45:32]little a little felt bag that was sitting right by all the other stuff so but she she did a great

[45:37]job she made sure to get my rick flair ornament up um she did the ones that she knew were important

[45:41]to me that my nieces and nephews gave me and everything so we get it up the trees work in i

[45:46]get the the next night i get the tree topper the disco ball tree topper so the disco ball lights

[45:51]are going off in the room it's great disco ball is up there and then i um i go on a trip i went to

[45:58]arizona for a day it's like four o'clock and i get a call from the upstairs roommate

[46:03]in tears the christmas tree has tipped over and is falling over the ornaments have shattered and

[46:11]it is laying on the ground and there is water all over the living room wow and earlier in the

[46:17]day she had said it doesn't look straight it looks like it was tilted but i wasn't

[46:21]what am i supposed to do right no russell did you tell her listen i'm smoking cigars with all the

[46:27]guys right now i simply don't have time for this okay deal with it yourself what did you say russell

[46:32]what could you possibly say over the phone i said i've got my own problem with this butt plug right

[46:36]now i've got your ornaments i went into manager mode rob i just said throw a towel down put some

[46:47]shoes on so you don't step on any glass throw a towel

[46:51]water up and i'll deal with it when we get back tomorrow that's all you got to do that sounds

[46:55]like the third date i had with my wife she wasn't happy about it she was saying she was gonna have

[46:59]to call her dad to come up and help her with it i said not necessary throw some towels down shoes

[47:04]on so you don't step on anything and we're good to go we'll make it work right now is it true that

[47:10]you bought your christmas tree at the tumbleweed depot and they tricked you it was actually a

[47:15]tumbleweed that's made to tumble across your room like that is that a mistake that you could have

[47:19]possibly made turns out

[47:21]so eventually i get back later that night and she has done a great job she's already cleaned up a

[47:26]bunch of the glass mopped up a lot of the water and it's the tree is now leaning into the corner

[47:31]of the room it's leaned up against the wall at this point right wow and one of the ornaments

[47:37]that broken we got a leg lamp ornament when we were in cleveland from the christmas storehouse

[47:42]the museum i remember that right destroyed a couple other ornaments destroyed but well it kind

[47:48]of it fits with the story i mean that is so sad she was very jealous of that of that uh ornament

[47:53]anyways it was broken right bat yeah it broke very salient so then we so we get back and she's

[48:00]done a great job cleaning it up but then we're gonna either gotta decide we're either just

[48:04]tossing the whole thing getting it out of the house or we gotta try to stand it back up and

[48:09]screw it back in so we're going with the we're gonna try to stand it back up right it's the tree

[48:15]is not lost so she holds it up i get

[48:18]down on the ground and we start cranking cranking the screws in eventually we get it back up it's

[48:22]up and going the tree is going the tree is live it looks good it's got the disco ball we're happy

[48:27]but i believe this is the last year i will ever deal with a live tree it's not worth the hassle

[48:33]for me russell can i tell you right now one thing i did when i was first married i bought a base for

[48:40]the christmas tree that cost like 200 it was it was so obscenely expensive as a base it was crazy

[48:47]but you know what it has

[48:48]what's that it's just got a like a circle of wires and one thing you step on so you put the

[48:54]christmas tree in there you step on this thing it tightens the wires so no matter what your

[48:59]christmas tree base is it tightens in five seconds you don't have to screw any screws there's no

[49:04]balancing there's no does this look good it's it's i highly recommend investing in a very nice

[49:09]christmas base a flared base if you will matt do you have a flared base no no i didn't grow up at a

[49:18]with a milkman on the golf course no didn't have a sailboat there's a picture of the tree after it

[49:25]fell it was leading up against the wall it does look sad yeah that looks that's a sad state of

[49:30]affairs russell that's a that's every time i see that tree i do have to think it is quite short

[49:34]yeah was that your rolling going russell or did did we trick you into that rolling going no that's

[49:41]a great rolling going at that we're talking holiday spirit i think i'm gonna i'm a fake tree guy going

[49:46]forward rolling going i don't know if i'm gonna be able to do that i'm gonna be able to do that i'm

[49:48]going with you it's going good i mean it's the holiday season couple things i can't really get

[49:53]enough of right now during the holiday season uh one of them of course is eggnog i'm drinking as

[49:59]much eggnog as i can although i haven't had gosh i don't know if i've had one today uh i am now i'm

[50:04]definitely firmly in the cognac is the best spirit for eggnog i have tried russell i know what you

[50:09]think about this i have tried reposada tequila in an eggnog i do like that whiskey is okay but i

[50:18]the is the best spirit for an eggnog so i'm doing a lot of eggnog um so you know me googling can you

[50:25]get diarrhea by just listening to something i just yeah i gotta check the expiration date on

[50:33]the eggnog i got in the fridge but we've been doing eggnog since the day after thanksgiving

[50:37]that's another one actually my dad uh was a huge eggnog fan he did not put spirits in

[50:42]no i loved eggnog so much that we've uh

[50:48]i need to memorialize his instagram account but he posted an instagram photo that we're all enjoying

[50:53]uh one year in july when ivy grocery store did like an eggnog sale in july and he bought a whole

[50:59]bunch of cartons and put them in the freezer so he could have eggnog year round jesus christ

[51:03]listen i hate this is exactly the wrong time to say this but that's fucked you know what i mean

[51:12]like you shouldn't be buying eggnog in july you should be freezing it's so weird right you love

[51:18]with a ladle no chance so you know i'm drinking drinking the eggnog when i can the other thing

[51:24]i'm really enjoying and i realized uh actually this is not so seasonal because i realized it

[51:30]during the olympics and maybe you guys maybe i mentioned this maybe i didn't i fucking love

[51:34]chalk man i you know like i was i was a liquid chalk guy for a while and that was fine like

[51:39]liquid chalk actually very it's a butt drop you know what i mean i don't know what he's i mean

[51:45]the thing is is i don't know what he's talking about i know

[51:48]no i mean rob you're a weightlifter i'm not like i'm not lifting weight i'm not moving weight like

[51:53]rob is right but i'm in my garage working out and so i had i did liquid chalk for a while the spider

[51:58]chalk which was fine because that's like a cool chemical compound and it makes i thought you were

[52:02]eating something did you guys think he was ingesting i don't know what was going on i

[52:07]thought maybe he was talking about chuck like he was like talking about different kinds of beef i

[52:11]didn't know what i'm just doing stream of consciousness things i really like right now

[52:14]and i switched don't ever stop switch from liquid chalk to

[52:18]powdered chalk i love it i love being down in the garage dipping my hands in the chalk rubbing

[52:23]them up rubbing them on the bells rubbing on my t-shirt chalk's on the on the horse mask the

[52:28]chalk's in the air i love it and i remember watching the olympics like the the the male

[52:33]gymnast in particular head to toe chalk i love it i just love the vibe of just like a lot of chalk

[52:38]around like i feel like there might have been some wrestlers who used to like chalk themselves

[52:41]pretty good it's i don't know i'm really into it i like that i like the chalk vibes when you first

[52:48]started making the big making or no the uh is that kid you or lebron where you're making the big

[52:52]no i don't i don't do it up that big i like to just do like one big clap and watch the

[52:57]watch the cloud go out in front of me i you know i don't want to like steal somebody's thing but i

[53:02]like to rub it together and do one big clap can you guys imagine getting a hand job from somebody

[53:08]who's just at the gym and their hands are covered in chalk wouldn't that be crazy that'd be a bit

[53:12]rough yeah yeah that's the whole thing with char because it's supposed to dry your hands out and

[53:18]the grip will never slip and then the other thing and i just looked this up because i thought i was

[53:26]i thought that i was going to ask you guys what your favorite recent recent holiday songs are like

[53:33]like fresh modern christmas albums and the album that's been on repeat for me is the sia album

[53:39]every day is christmas i cannot get enough of this thing it's got candy cane lane and snowman

[54:08]yes every day is christmas is the album yeah wow you guys have any like more recent recordings of

[54:17]either

[54:18]new christmas stuff or classics i thought this was like in the last two years it turns out it's

[54:22]from 2017 but what do you guys listen to for christmas music this year i'm mostly traditional

[54:26]stuff but the one that i came across a few weeks ago guys we were talking about the best bands from

[54:31]portland and one that we didn't talk about is this group uh she and him with zoe now you guys

[54:38]know this one uh absolutely yeah but i came across some uh christmas songs with um maybe

[54:43]i'll be home for christmas by she and him and i thought i thought they were very good she uh

[54:48]famously sang an elf right she was uh her and she famously sang this song in the in the closing

[54:54]credits of new girl season i was gonna say i knew i knew aaron was gonna bring

[55:01]this this is the one i i thought was pretty good that is beautiful you're 100 right russell

[55:09]wow man what modern and totally normal question what modern or not what do you what do you vibe

[55:17]into for christmas tunes i just i always just put on whatever is on like you know we'll just say

[55:22]alexa play christmas music right just put on 10 cool 108 here in the twin cities it's christmas

[55:29]or i will just put on the ronettes and just listen to the ronette's christmas album which is

[55:34]about as classic as it comes we did uh we were doing a charcuterie board night the other night

[55:39]and we did put on the with with or without carrots no carrots this time okay good but we did put on

[55:45]the phil specter album and that that is just dynamite good right all killing no filler all

[55:52]i want for christmas is a gun okay this is a chorus we're going back to it the best christmas

[56:02]song what does anyone responded to our comments on the back to the better on this one or not

[56:06]oh yeah oh i heard this out back to the bear oh my god 43 minutes ago that's impressive

[56:12]give it a thumbs up give it a touch okay

[56:15]what is the third look at the third comment down what does it say share this to facebook

[56:23]and now i'm in jail for two days

[56:25]so that's it that's how it's going there how's it rolling going with matt

[56:31]uh good going a little long here so i'll try to keep it short it is getting long

[56:37]um i'm just gonna i'm gonna russell flinched when you said you're gonna keep it short he had

[56:41]a flashback to his let's just put on something by the ronettes it's christmas

[56:45]so i had a couple of songs but on put on some ron it's christmas do the do the final song with

[56:49]just phil specter wishing us a very no please don't uh i'm just gonna cross some things off

[56:57]the list here uh russell lost is lost hold up is like one of the greatest uh i know we've talked

[57:04]about it before i never hear you never hear of anybody having it on their like top tv shows of

[57:10]all times or anything like that does it hold up it's on netflix i think there's a there people have

[57:15]a thing against network shows right matt people call prestige tv it's it's the fx it's the amc it's

[57:20]hbo people don't like giving credit to network shows like the west wing or to loss i think loss

[57:27]holds up it had some bad stretch in season two and people didn't like the ending because it could

[57:32]never live up to such a cool story but that show holds up it is fantastic i've re-watched that one

[57:38]with the upstairs roommate and thoroughly enjoyed it i i will say this don't you think loss is one

[57:43]of the first shows that you've seen in a long time i think it's one of the first shows that you've

[57:45]seen in a long time it's one of the first shows that was too big to end you know what i mean like

[57:48]it's the first time we've seen it now a lot of times but where you have a great television show

[57:51]and they just i mean i hate to bring up the big bopper on the holidays like this but they just

[57:58]can't land the plane you know what i mean they cannot finish the job don't you think russell

[58:03]that's what's going on with loss i mean i think uh you know game of thrones suffered from the

[58:07]same thing and it and it taints the whole rest of the show going back i haven't seen yellowstone it

[58:15]we just finished it we finally got through it and there's part of it like the yellowstone for

[58:20]those who watch it the scenes where they're just showing cowboy shit are amazing all the other

[58:25]scenes where they get into all this drama and stuff it's like i can do with all that stuff but

[58:28]i think the other thing with loss that's tough matt that's like a 26 episode season for a lot

[58:35]of those seasons oh yeah and because those network seasons are way longer than like a 10 season or

[58:40]13 on max or 8 amc so i think that's what hurts floss it gets a lot of people to watch it and

[58:44]gets a little long and any show where they get into like the side characters too much that always

[58:49]kind of ruins it for people right gotcha gotcha okay uh next on the list i gotta add i gotta add

[58:56]something to the to the top of my list now that i have no idea i do not remember why this is on

[59:01]the list yeah yeah that's up there still uh photos of feet i'm the creeper rodriguez

[59:08]48 15 62 23 42

[59:14]48 15 16 23 42

[59:17]48 15 16 23 oh sorry that was so good russell i like that uh we were at a christmas party

[59:25]uh did you guys get invited to kirsten's house kirsten edina for christmas party

[59:29]let's check my email invite let's check the bet did a better email it would have been actually

[59:35]nice if she would have left that invite on a voicemail that could actually really help us

[59:38]out so maybe some people don't have to make a fake voicemail to fill space um so we went to

[59:43]her christmas party and all i have i put a comment down i have no idea it just says krista washes her

[59:49]hair every five days and i have no idea what that means reasonable cadence what do you know

[59:55]as a guy who doesn't know anything about hair this guy's bald as hell and he's like i have no idea i

[60:02]have no idea why how why it must have been funny it must have been some context but i have no idea

[60:07]why i do you think is that is that how i feel like my wife washes her hair like once a week like it's

[60:13]an obscenely low number i wash my hair i'm an everyday hair washer what about you guys well

[60:18]at least well not at least but yeah i'd say 1.27 times a day russell how often you wash that hair

[60:27]oh daily i gotta i gotta keep it looking good i'm uh once a day or once whatever anytime i'm in the

[60:32]shower it's getting it's getting washed my hair is in such a bad spot right now where i cut it as

[60:38]a mohawk you know for the power lifting stuff and now i haven't trimmed it since so the top of my

[60:42]hair is so long is there any way to take a photo right now it's crazy is there a screen grab can

[60:49]someone please i mean this is i mean look at how wild that is and it's like can you see like the

[60:55]front little things get the little front i know out of it headphones oh look at that and you know

[61:01]that during the day i'm going like this with my hair i look like yahoo serious i mean i really

[61:05]do there's something going on here oh eraser head is what i look like it's a good look thank you

[61:11]thank you

[61:12]figured out the road you know any females that listen to this pot i mean it's a bunch of

[61:17]dudes right any females that listen i've i've been told that rosie is the tie-in for all the

[61:23]lady listeners they don't care about us rob russell they just want to hear what aaron's got

[61:27]to say i believe that so that's unfortunate for them that's what i heard that's what i heard

[61:32]and then there was just a suggestion from a long-time listener hasn't ever called in i think

[61:38]that the next best of since you never take any of russell's uh oh

[61:42]recommendations and we like to hear what you like to hear what rob has to say that we should

[61:48]just put a rob and sam show on as the as a for a best of that is a good idea i'm just telling you

[61:54]guys so rob and sam of course was my college radio show i'm telling you guys i had a fun time making

[61:59]it when you listen back to it a little rough it's not quite fully formed i'm just gonna say that you

[62:07]know what i mean it's like when you it was like is the rainbow warrior calling it shelly calling i

[62:12]mean it's not quite fully formed i'm just gonna say that you know what i mean it's like when you

[62:12]you know is there all the stuff that that all these people have a little nostalgia they just

[62:16]want to hear it you know what it reminds me of is this craze right now or the for the last three

[62:20]years where everybody is paul miller calling in it's not as much as you think it's a lot it's not

[62:25]as much as you think they're not calling in you're remembering the highlights you know what i mean

[62:29]what what you have it's kind of like how this whole like let's play the original nintendo

[62:34]games got big where like everybody was buying that system remember where all you could play

[62:38]was the original nintendo games yeah and then you play them for a while and you realize oh a lot of

[62:42]these games suck balls okay they weren't very good things are way better right now why did i buy

[62:48]this that's exactly what's going on with the robin sam show tapes i appreciate it maybe i'll find some

[62:52]highlights or whatever but it you do not want to listen to it now have i thought about posting it

[62:57]as a separate podcast just the straight tapes just as like a piece of history made about youtube you

[63:03]youtubers just put them on yeah the problem is they're playing full songs i don't want to get

[63:06]copyright i care very much about the law so i don't want to deal with that but i get it that's

[63:12]rob rolling going well let's listen to this real quick giving me the opportunity to relate my

[63:17]feelings of christmas this is the true holiday spirit bill specter at this moment wishing us i

[63:24]am very proud of all the artists merry christmas and on behalf of all of them

[63:29]you can picture waving this gun around as he records it i don't want to interrupt but it's

[63:36]ironic or i don't know what it is the book that i'm currently reading slash using as my microphone

[63:42]monsters by claire deaderer which is about this very topic a fan's dilemma should we

[63:50]enjoy the art of people who turn out to be monsters i don't actually think she mentions

[63:54]phil specter wow that's sad that there's so many she doesn't have to mention i brought this one

[63:59]from the library after my dad died and anna was like don't you want something lighter like what

[64:03]what the fuck is wrong with you why are you reading this book i was like i was on my list

[64:06]i thought it would be a good book yeah listen i love gary glitter songs i don't know what you're

[64:12]i don't know what to do i need to figure this out hey hockey games haven't been the same

[64:16]all right listen we're only going we've got three problems over here like crazy we are about three

[64:24]problems all right oh no number one i go to the tree place to get a tree i know i have like eight

[64:32]foot ceilings right because i can jump and touch my ceilings so i i do prove it we've seen the video

[64:39]that might be uh several years old though

[64:42]i have sent you a video of me touching the ceiling now we need to do it again

[64:46]those are eight foot ceilings nine foot max okay maybe nine and a half if i really got my vertical

[64:51]on i don't know but i i know i can't touch a 10 foot or i'd be just out touching a rim all the

[64:57]time that's all i would do do you know what that would do to middle school boys if i showed them

[65:00]me touching a rim it would blow their minds i can't do it i go to the christmas tree place i said i

[65:05]need an eight foot tree he shows me a tree that i swear to god was no taller than me i mean at this

[65:11]time this tree i know

[65:12]i'm a bad judge of it this tree was not taller than me five six five seven well i said no five

[65:17]five ten five eleven and a half rob crocs on or crocs off you know i had my crocs on getting it

[65:24]i'd get a christmas tree oh yeah for sure it's a saturday in new york i'm wearing the crocs we

[65:29]took the kid to go get a bagel beforehand then we went and got a christmas tree so then i'm looking

[65:33]you a thick smear like full smear or a thin smear what do you do for a thick smear okay and if you

[65:38]think i'm buying the rainbow bagels that are you think if you think i'm buying the rainbow bagels

[65:42]that are bright you know i'm buying the rainbow bagels that are bright you know i'm buying the

[65:42]all i could look at when i saw they had these bright like unicorn bagels purple yellow red all

[65:49]i could think about was a dump after that like what that would look like after you eat one of

[65:52]those bagels and i was like i can't do it but i also want to do it really bad like i want to see

[65:58]what that would be like it's like when you mushed all the plate you know when you okay i don't want

[66:03]to get graphic about this on our holiday episode but you know when you had play-doh and by the end

[66:07]they just were all mixed into one all the colors were mixed into one thing i think that's what your

[66:12]bagels we gotta move it along i can't do this now wow the tree the guy so i ends up buying a 10 foot

[66:19]tree first of all i told the guy i said this there's no way this is 10 foot but of course

[66:23]he did leave the top spike very very long you saw the tree okay uh 270 in new york city to buy a 10

[66:31]foot tree and when i asked other people that i work with they're like yep that sounds about right

[66:35]i paid 290 down in brooklyn i paid 250 i mean it was the tree price is totally insane then of course

[66:42]it's a 10 foot tree so i'm gonna take it home to the subway now are all the escalators down broken

[66:45]yes so i have to take the tree down the stairs with my kid bring it home set it up in my deluxe

[66:51]tree stand no problem take out the lights my wife and kids put the lights away last year

[67:00]okay do you think the lights were rolled around the the uh winding thing that comes with the

[67:08]lights that were stored in was it roped or was it just grouped together in a big pile

[67:12]this bunch in a big pile just thrown together we started the christmas season by me yelling at

[67:19]my family about how they need to organize the lights why didn't you take the lights off last

[67:24]year i think i was too busy i think i was doing stuff playing video games ordering the housekeeper

[67:32]around that you call her fred to try to make it seem less awkward editing a podcast jenny said

[67:37]nicole did put away the lights jenny threw nicole under the bus almost immediately which was

[67:42]Make your housekeeper decorate it, undecorate your tree?

[67:45]Maybe undecorate.

[67:47]I don't think we've made her decorate it.

[67:48]That's terrible.

[67:49]What?

[67:50]Well, a guy who wants to undecorate a tree.

[67:53]That doesn't even sound fun to me.

[67:54]No fun at all.

[67:55]Like I said, I can't remember.

[67:57]So we decorate.

[67:59]We put the lights on.

[68:00]My wife immediately moves the chair over.

[68:04]My wife.

[68:04]And puts the angel on top.

[68:06]The first thing she does, no kids, no nothing.

[68:10]It's the first ornament to go on the angel on top.

[68:12]Is that normal or is that not normal?

[68:14]What do you guys think?

[68:15]We did the disco ball star dead last on mine.

[68:20]Yes.

[68:21]Upstairs roommate didn't even want to be a part.

[68:23]I think she didn't want it going up, so she let me put it up.

[68:26]But that went up dead last.

[68:27]I was going to say, Russell, you're a tall guy, so you'd be able to put it on top of the tree.

[68:30]But after seeing that tree, I don't think it matters.

[68:32]I think anybody could have put that disco ball on top of that tree.

[68:34]Matt, is that weird to put that thing up first?

[68:37]Maybe.

[68:39]But.

[68:40]Like, our household, the star is not like a big thing.

[68:44]It's not like a big tradition.

[68:45]You know, it goes up first, goes up last.

[68:48]It's just not that big of a deal.

[68:49]So we're probably not the right people to ask.

[68:52]Aaron, what do you have for a topper on the tree?

[68:53]I used to have a Darth Vader, but it broke.

[68:55]We had a star on the top, but I don't.

[68:56]This feels like a thing that, you know, tradition dictates put the star up last.

[69:02]But you do that, you run the risk of knocking down the ornaments that you already put up.

[69:07]So I think star up first is actually kind of smart.

[69:10]Wow.

[69:11]Wow.

[69:12]That's unbelievable.

[69:12]Star up first is actually kind of smart.

[69:14]A little dangerous, though, if it's a plug-in disco ball.

[69:17]Oh, yeah.

[69:20]Wow.

[69:21]Russell's so happy that he can just get ornaments for gifts now.

[69:26]He's like, yes.

[69:27]It is so covered.

[69:28]I'm so sad.

[69:29]And wrap it, Aaron.

[69:33]Now, listen, we are talking about.

[69:35]Is this a music podcast?

[69:37]Are we talking about some music?

[69:38]We are talking about Deja Vu.

[69:40]Oh.

[69:41]Okay.

[69:41]A rock and roll album.

[69:45]We are, of course, talking about Deja Vu.

[69:49]Why would I not go to the beginning?

[69:53]Put my dick in and it would get stuck.

[69:57]We're talking about Deja Vu by Crosby, Stills, Dash and Young.

[70:01]I did not know that I knew all the lyrics to this song.

[70:03]I mean.

[70:04]Is this the guy with the big mustache?

[70:08]It's kind of unfortunate.

[70:10]That we can't play this song next week because I do think next week's album is really indebted

[70:15]to Public Enemy, 2 Live Crew, bands like that.

[70:18]Wow.

[70:19]Wow.

[70:21]Oh, it's in two weeks.

[70:22]Oh, my God.

[70:23]I'm all out of order.

[70:24]What a great connection.

[70:25]This is the first album that Crosby, Stills, Dash made with Young.

[70:29]Okay.

[70:30]And it still remains the highest selling album by any of the artists together or separately.

[70:36]So that's a great trivia question.

[70:37]What is Neil Young's greatest selling album?

[70:39]Deja Vu.

[70:40]Deja Vu is it.

[70:41]Stephen Stills.

[70:42]So we've already covered their first album, right?

[70:45]Stephen Stills basically said this album recording, this whole album is just the, what a disaster

[70:50]looks like on recording.

[70:52]Stephen Stills says this album took 800 hours of studio time.

[70:56]Okay.

[70:57]And he may be exaggerating, but basically they all came in and did like individual tracks

[71:01]and were like going Steely Dan on it.

[71:03]They really were.

[71:03]You can hear it.

[71:04]It's like the white album.

[71:04]There's no through line to this album.

[71:06]It's crazy.

[71:07]Basically, they said this, the first album was like this.

[71:10]They had just moved out to California.

[71:12]You know, it's like this joyous album.

[71:14]And they said the second album, it's the lowest of the lows.

[71:17]Nash had just broken up with Joni Mitchell, even though there's a Joni Mitchell song on

[71:21]this album.

[71:21]Stephen Stills had broken up with Judy.

[71:25]Of course, what is the song Judy Blue Eyes is about?

[71:27]And David Crosby's girlfriend, Christine Hinton had, Christine Hinton had just passed away

[71:33]from a car accident like the day after they moved to San Francisco.

[71:36]So he's heartbroken.

[71:37]Okay.

[71:38]And Neil Young is probably like, oh, these guys are kind of a bum.

[71:40]And so, but he only recorded in California and would send his parts separately.

[71:45]So it was like this whole thing.

[71:46]And basically they were fighting so much that they would go in and delete each other's vocals

[71:51]without talking to each other and like fill it in with different vocals.

[71:55]And they would argue about whose vocals.

[71:56]There's only one song on this where they said, these are the perfect vocals and we won't

[72:00]sing harmony.

[72:00]We're not going to mess with it.

[72:01]And so think about this.

[72:04]After this album, they come out with a live album.

[72:07]They come out with a compilation album.

[72:10]And they're like, oh, this is a great album.

[72:10]And they're like, oh, this is a great album.

[72:10]And they're like, oh, this is a great album.

[72:10]They don't come out.

[72:11]However, each one of these guys releases a solo album within the next year.

[72:15]So this is like the band breaking up.

[72:18]They don't release another album as Crosby, Stills, and Nash until 1977.

[72:21]That's seven years after this album.

[72:24]So you get nothing from these guys from seven years except for individual work.

[72:27]So let's get into Deja Vu, which is crazy that this album is basically a band breaking

[72:33]up because this might be the most together we've heard a band since, I don't know.

[72:40]I mean, is there?

[72:40]Is there another band that hits the harmonies like these guys do?

[72:42]I mean, the Coltrane Quartet.

[72:44]Are you sure we haven't heard this album before?

[72:46]I feel like I have.

[72:48]Do you guys ever get Deja Vu?

[72:50]Have I talked about this?

[72:52]Yeah, I do.

[72:53]Because Deja Vu, though, is when you've seen it before.

[72:57]But you know what I get for real?

[72:58]And I'm not kidding.

[72:59]Deja Rev.

[73:00]I've looked this up.

[73:01]It's when you swear you've seen something before, not dreamed it.

[73:05]No, you swear you've dreamed it before, not seen it.

[73:07]I get that all the time where I'm somewhere and I'm like,

[73:10]I've seen this before.

[73:11]Now, can I use those powers to do anything special?

[73:13]No.

[73:14]Of course not.

[73:15]And it's always like me looking at something.

[73:17]It's never exciting.

[73:18]I mean, this song sounds so good.

[73:22]It's panning hard left when you start.

[73:24]Basically, he took, Stephen Stills, took two songs he had written for Buffalo Springfield

[73:30]and crammed it together because they said, we don't have an opening track for this album.

[73:33]Listen to this song, Questions, by Buffalo Springfield, which, of course,

[73:37]that's these guys.

[73:40]That is basically right, except for Neil Young, Stephen Stills, David Crosby was still with

[73:47]the Yardbirds, and it was Graham Nash and, Russell, can you look up, was Graham Nash

[73:53]in Buffalo Springfield?

[73:54]But listen, I mean, it's the same song.

[73:57]It's crazy.

[73:57]They just, and this is the thing, they say that this song, Carry On, is an inspiration

[74:02]for this Led Zeppelin Friends song with a guitar playing.

[74:08]They said it inspired Jimmy Page.

[74:10]Yeah.

[74:10]Okay.

[74:11]Off Led Zeppelin 3.

[74:12]Next up, you guys want to hear Jerry Garcia on a pedal steel guitar?

[74:19]Well, guess what?

[74:20]Give it to me.

[74:21]Oh, right here.

[74:22]Here it is.

[74:23]I didn't know that.

[74:24]Remember when I talked about the Grateful Dead?

[74:26]I said they were in the same studio with Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young.

[74:30]This is the album, Jerry Garcia.

[74:32]Do you know why he played, why he did this for them?

[74:34]Yeah, didn't they trade something?

[74:36]They had a trade.

[74:37]They did a barter where they,

[74:40]they taught him how to do harmonies,

[74:42]and they were teaching him that when they were recording American Beauty,

[74:46]the one we talked about.

[74:47]Oh, that's cool.

[74:48]They taught him how to do harmony.

[74:50]Harmony.

[74:52]Harmony.

[74:53]Harmony.

[74:55]I don't know what it is.

[74:58]You could play the finger cymbals on this album.

[75:00]I have not had a stronger yo-yo seesaw reaction to two tracks,

[75:08]two back-to-back tracks, I think, than a,

[75:10]I don't know.

[75:10]I have on this album.

[75:10]I fucking hate the first song on this album,

[75:14]and I don't know why.

[75:15]It's like a visceral, physical reaction.

[75:18]When I play it, it makes me angry.

[75:19]I don't know why.

[75:20]And the second track, I love so much.

[75:23]And I get like, they're very similar.

[75:26]It's the same band.

[75:26]I don't know what it is.

[75:27]The first track, something about it just like makes me feel like I'm insane.

[75:32]And the second track makes me want to weep for joy and everything else.

[75:37]All the feelings in the world.

[75:38]I don't know why these two tracks.

[75:40]They just hit me that way.

[75:40]Did it occur to you that maybe when you think of the song,

[75:43]Teach the Children Well,

[75:44]you think of me and how many thousands of children I've taught through the years?

[75:48]Probably what it is now that I think carefully about it.

[75:50]Hey, Rob, can you pull up Beck Country Down?

[75:52]You know I can.

[75:54]I didn't give you that one.

[75:55]You'll just have to YouTube it.

[75:56]Oh, sorry.

[75:57]If you guys remember, the first time we covered,

[76:00]maybe you'll have a bit of deja vu here.

[76:02]When we covered Crosby, Stills, and Nash,

[76:04]we talked about how Beck played the steel pedal guitar on this song,

[76:09]Country.

[76:10]So I figured we'll come, we'll wrap it around again

[76:14]and listen to Beck on the steel pedal guitar.

[76:17]And Beck also, we've talked about this,

[76:20]heavily influenced by Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young.

[76:23]He said they were essentially the influence for Morning Face.

[76:28]Wow.

[76:29]Yeah.

[76:30]When it comes to having deja vu about how Beck was influenced

[76:35]by Crosby, Stills, and Nash and Young,

[76:38]who did it better?

[76:40]Beck did it better.

[76:41]I do feel like we've heard this song before.

[76:44]We did the exact same song.

[76:46]That's the point, Rob, right?

[76:48]I mean, earn away.

[76:49]Maybe I didn't dream about that.

[76:50]Is this a dream I'm rethinking?

[76:51]I've dreamed this song.

[76:53]Let me think.

[76:54]Why do all my dreams start?

[76:55]I don't know why all my dreams start like this, though.

[76:57]This is the...

[76:57]I've been in this situation before.

[77:03]Every time this song comes on, you're like,

[77:04]huh, I feel like I have deja vu.

[77:07]You tear up against that pole drop,

[77:09]and they're just hammering the...

[77:10]the shit out of you.

[77:10]It's a very good song.

[77:12]Just doing that.

[77:13]I would...

[77:14]Would you ever go on stage now for a birthday at the strip club?

[77:17]Oh, my God, no.

[77:18]Too scary, right?

[77:19]Like...

[77:20]Oh, Aaron's giving me the what?

[77:21]Like, no.

[77:22]Aaron, they're flipping upside down,

[77:24]putting their butt cheeks in your face,

[77:25]slamming it up against a pole.

[77:27]It's too scary.

[77:27]Aaron was just doing, like,

[77:29]the Jake the Snake Roberts DDT finger swirl

[77:31]when we were talking about that.

[77:32]Yeah, that's right.

[77:32]There's one woman, and then it's two women.

[77:36]Then it's two women with each other,

[77:38]and you're just watching.

[77:38]That's my Jake the Snake Roberts.

[77:39]That's my Jake the Snake Roberts.

[77:40]Jake Roberts impression from the documentary.

[77:41]So sad.

[77:42]Now, Aaron, that would be a bummer

[77:44]if you got a birthday dance at the club,

[77:46]and the next day your face was so itchy.

[77:47]Ah, can you imagine a worse birthday present

[77:50]than an itchy face?

[77:51]No, thank you.

[77:53]Go home and stick...

[77:54]I got to go home and stick this thing in milk.

[77:56]I got too much anus.

[77:57]I got a lot of anus at the birthday dance at the club.

[78:00]I'm allergic to it.

[78:02]I got to go home.

[78:03]Oh, boy.

[78:05]Okay.

[78:06]Where were we?

[78:07]I cannot...

[78:08]I'm very distracted.

[78:10]No, I have to admit.

[78:10]Okay.

[78:12]Oh, by the way,

[78:13]they had to convince Stephen Stills on that song,

[78:17]or Graham Nash, I think.

[78:19]Who wrote that song?

[78:20]Yeah, Graham Nash.

[78:21]They had to convince Graham Nash

[78:23]to not make it a Henry VIII type song.

[78:27]He wanted to make the song sound like this.

[78:30]Teach your children well in this form is insane, right?

[78:38]This is wild.

[78:40]This is the Herman Hermits.

[78:42]I've never heard it this fast.

[78:43]Not Sam!

[78:46]It'd be crazy if Teach Your Children Well

[78:50]sounded anything like this at all.

[78:52]This album would not be on the list.

[78:56]This song was on there, right?

[78:58]No, absolutely not.

[79:00]It would be a BQ.

[79:02]And Aaron, don't say that's not the original, okay?

[79:05]It isn't, is it?

[79:07]I mean...

[79:08]Okay, fine.

[79:09]I'm looking it up.

[79:10]I shouldn't say original.

[79:11]It's not the one that I know from the radio, from KIOA.

[79:14]Okay, I just typed in Henry VIII.

[79:15]I don't know what I expected.

[79:16]I got a bunch of facts about some guy

[79:19]and not the Herman Hermits song?

[79:21]Okay, let's listen to the live version of it

[79:23]on The Ed Sullivan Show.

[79:24]Okay, let's see what this sounds like

[79:27]on The Ed Sullivan Show.

[79:28]Wow.

[79:32]Hey, we got a big show.

[79:34]We got a big show for everybody.

[79:36]We got Herman Hermits coming in.

[79:37]Coming up after this break,

[79:39]we're going to nibble on that dick

[79:41]like a rat does cheese.

[79:42]Oh.

[79:47]If you're a woman screaming for this song,

[79:53]like if you saw your mom screaming for this song,

[79:56]wouldn't you be kind of embarrassed?

[79:57]I'm going to bounce it up and down.

[79:59]I'd rather go with a Charleston.

[80:00]Right, Rob?

[80:01]I mean, what's wild is like,

[80:09]there were women taking their panties off

[80:11]in the audience.

[80:12]You can hear it happening.

[80:13]That's crazy.

[80:14]I mean, it's just like ladies like,

[80:16]yeah, let's get some Herman Hermits.

[80:18]And listen,

[80:18]I don't want to say this,

[80:21]but you can imagine when this song came out,

[80:23]what the bushes look like

[80:25]on those women taking their pants off.

[80:26]I mean, just crazy.

[80:27]Oh, come on.

[80:28]If you're watching Ed Sullivan,

[80:30]crazy pubic hair stuff going on.

[80:32]I'm just going to say that right now.

[80:33]Oh, first comment.

[80:35]My grandma who passed.

[80:36]Okay, nevermind.

[80:36]We're not going to read that comment.

[80:37]Let's go back.

[80:39]By the way,

[80:40]almost cut my hair.

[80:41]This is by David Crosby.

[80:44]This is what he called the hippie dilemma

[80:45]where all these hippies at some point said,

[80:48]I got to cut my hair,

[80:49]but it's my freak flag.

[80:51]I got to show it off.

[80:52]What's the longest your guys' hair has ever been?

[80:56]Matt?

[80:57]During COVID,

[80:58]it got like an inch over my ear.

[81:01]That's the worst.

[81:02]That's literally as long as I've just never,

[81:05]ever grown up.

[81:06]Matt the hippie.

[81:07]And I shouldn't.

[81:09]You know, the shaved side is kind of the longer bowl cut.

[81:12]Yeah, you did.

[81:13]That's true.

[81:13]It was curling out of the back of my hat.

[81:15]That was about as,

[81:15]not hockey player-ish embarrassing,

[81:19]but close.

[81:20]I mean, college for me too,

[81:21]because I would just cut it twice a year.

[81:22]So I just let it grow for about six months.

[81:24]I did have a ponytail.

[81:27]I could put my hair in a ponytail for a while in college.

[81:30]It was, it was long,

[81:32]but the thing was I'd let it grow long on the sides.

[81:34]It's the opposite problem I have now.

[81:35]Yeah.

[81:35]Not just long.

[81:36]I mean, look at that.

[81:37]What's going on with my hair?

[81:39]I don't get it.

[81:39]This is a, I was reading,

[81:42]you were talking about how this is kind of

[81:44]one of the hippie movement songs.

[81:45]I was reading a little bit about

[81:46]the hippie movement and hippie anthems.

[81:49]So I thought we could do a quick list

[81:51]of the greatest hippie anthems of all time.

[81:53]Oh, wow.

[81:54]Russell, can you,

[81:56]now when you say hippie movement,

[81:59]do you know what I think about?

[82:00]What is that?

[82:01]I mean, when you say hippie,

[82:03]when you show us.

[82:04]Yeah, stand up.

[82:05]Let's see.

[82:06]Wait, he's talking to God.

[82:08]He's up.

[82:09]I was pretty lipper there.

[82:12]I see.

[82:12]He's twerking.

[82:13]He's twerking pretty good.

[82:14]I like it.

[82:16]I mean,

[82:18]he knows how to work it.

[82:19]He kicked a leg up.

[82:20]My sweatpants,

[82:21]I'm not wearing any underwear

[82:22]and my balls travel a total of like a foot

[82:26]when I was shaking my butt like that.

[82:28]My balls went so far.

[82:30]It was crazy.

[82:31]Rob,

[82:32]we were talking about the hippie movement.

[82:34]I thought you were going to bring up

[82:35]the sex doctor thing

[82:36]where you were pushing Aaron's butt around

[82:38]a few weeks ago.

[82:38]I think that's a great idea for a business.

[82:40]If you're bad at sex,

[82:43]how much would you pay to get good?

[82:44]Think about it.

[82:47]10% of my annual sale.

[82:51]Easy.

[82:52]I would say 25.

[82:54]If they're like,

[82:54]we're going to take 25%.

[82:55]Free tax or after tax.

[82:57]But Russell,

[82:58]they fuck like a machine.

[83:00]Like you get done fucking

[83:01]and they're like,

[83:02]you're like a machine.

[83:03]Half.

[83:04]I mean,

[83:04]this kind of goes with my

[83:05]could an object suck you off?

[83:08]Argument where if it made you better at sex,

[83:10]you would pay any amount of money.

[83:11]God,

[83:12]we can make so much money.

[83:13]Sorry,

[83:14]Russell.

[83:14]Go ahead.

[83:15]Hippie movement.

[83:15]Go ahead.

[83:16]Peace,

[83:17]love and unity.

[83:18]That's the hippie movement.

[83:19]A lot of these songs are addressing social issues,

[83:21]war and injustice.

[83:22]And I was reading a lot of them incorporate

[83:24]elements of psychedelic rock with rich melodies

[83:27]and layered instruments.

[83:28]Wow.

[83:29]Hopefully we'll see some of that.

[83:30]That's what we got going on today.

[83:32]There is.

[83:33]There are so many honorable mentions.

[83:34]I'm not going to go through them all.

[83:35]One I wanted to give a quick shout out to

[83:37]is Matt's favorite.

[83:38]Song going up the country by can't eat is

[83:41]that's a great,

[83:44]but we're going to start out.

[83:46]I think you're the movies coming out on this guy.

[83:48]I don't know if it's out yet,

[83:48]but we're going to talk about Dylan.

[83:50]This is blowing in the wind.

[83:51]1963.

[83:53]Wow.

[83:57]I did go back and listen to the bringing it all home episode.

[84:01]It was good.

[84:02]It was a good,

[84:03]it was a good start.

[84:04]Anyway,

[84:04]how many years can some people exist?

[84:08]exist or they're allowed to be free.

[84:12]First of all, guys, are you going to go see the Bob Dylan movie in the theater? No. I think so.

[84:16]I'm going to try. I don't know if I'll make it, but I'm going to try.

[84:19]Timothy Chalamet, he's going to be an American treasure by the end of all.

[84:23]He's something else. Great actor. I think you're right. Or he's going to end up

[84:28]waving a gun at a studio. He's going to go the other way real hard. We'll see.

[84:31]I was reading Graham Nash was saying he first heard Bob Dylan in New York City and he was

[84:35]Bob Dylan was the big thing. And he listened to him and he said, well, this guy, he can't sing at all. I'm better than this

[84:39]guy. And then he started listening to the lyrics and he's like, holy shit, maybe I don't even belong

[84:44]in the music business after hearing. But I thought one of the coolest things I was reading

[84:47]about this 1969 Graham Nash took part in a song

[84:51]swap session, a swap. Wow. Oh, wow. Johnny

[84:55]Cash's house, Johnny Cash, Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell, Roy Orbison.

[85:00]And they're all just seeing each other's songs. So like Joni Mitchell,

[85:04]there's no way that songs was the only thing being swapped there.

[85:07]Right. Shell Silverstein, A Boy Named Sue. They're all seeing each other's songs.

[85:12]I thought it was amazing. Can you imagine if you have to swap with Roy Orbison?

[85:16]Like you get the Secret Santa and it's Roy Orbison's song

[85:20]and you're like, oh my God. So you have to be like, oh, holy

[85:24]without you. Like it'd be so hard to see Johnny

[85:28]Cash doing a Roy Orbison song. That's crazy. So I thought you guys would appreciate

[85:32]the swap. But so that was the first one. I thought Bob Dylan had asked to be on the list for this, right?

[85:36]Love it. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Next one. We're going to go with John Lennon. I think I gave you

[85:40]imagine you could have gone give peace a chance. I went with imagine.

[85:42]I don't remember. I feel like Aaron might have shit on this song once, though. That's why I was

[85:47]I don't know. I never I never never shat upon this song. This

[85:52]was my homecoming theme. My senior year of high school. Yes, I

[85:56]was. It was my idea to make imagine the theme of

[85:59]home. Now, Aaron, how did that homecoming?

[86:02]Theme compared to the one before, which was guy kisses Aaron's date and

[86:05]drives them both home. Is this a better theme than that? I'm going to choose

[86:10]imagine over that one. Yeah. All right. That sounds good. Little known

[86:14]fact. Crosby, Stills and Nash two years earlier. So the album we're doing is

[86:17]1970, I think. Right. Yeah. Two years earlier, they

[86:22]were getting everything tight. Their music was good. They auditioned for the Beatles

[86:26]on the Apple Records and Apple Records. The recording. Yeah.

[86:29]Yeah. Audition for them. They get.

[86:32]Turned down the beat. George Harrison doesn't like them. So they say no to them. It's pretty

[86:36]crazy. Like, wow, they're clearly influenced by them, right? I don't love your music, mate.

[86:40]Sorry to tell you. Goodbye. And he said it was pretty crushing because they they patterned

[86:45]themselves off the Beatles. Then they they thought they had everything dialed in and

[86:48]they got turned down by the Beatles. So that was interesting. But then later, I thought

[86:52]this. Meanwhile, you see who the you see who the Beatles have hired for their record album.

[86:56]And it's like, right. Like, wait a minute. Those guys are good. That's crazy. That was

[87:01]James Taylor, actually. Aaron, do you want to make a comment again about what was happening when these

[87:06]Herman's Hermits were playing? No, I'm good. You're good. You don't need to repeat that. No. I also saw

[87:14]Graham Nash was honored with the John Lennon Real Love Award. And so he was honored for kind of the

[87:21]hippie anthem and kind of living his life through a similar vein, which with the songs that we're

[87:27]appreciating here. So I thought that was kind of cool. Next up on the list, 1960,

[87:31]1968. I don't think we've talked to these guys before. This is the Chambers Brothers. Time has

[87:36]come today. This song is so good. Time. This song is so good. It's off the girl interrupted

[87:43]soundtrack, which is how I know it. It is a banger. I bet I've listened to this song 500

[87:47]times in my life. I know every nose. Listen to that cowbell. And maybe maybe it's just because

[87:55]I think it was in it was on the Five Bloods soundtrack, too. Right. It's like this feels

[88:00]like the Vietnam War.

[88:01]Movies soundtrack. Like if you're going to Vietnam War movie, you've got to have this another.

[88:04]Yeah. These guys, four brothers, I believe they had eight brothers in the family,

[88:10]five sisters, four of them are in the band from Mississippi. And the first album they ever record

[88:15]is a live album. And they're engineers, this guy named Wally Heider. And he's recording this with

[88:21]like a track player. And like I just out of the back of his truck, they record it. He messes it

[88:26]up. So they have to send the band back out on stage and tell the band we have to redo the whole

[88:31]album. Oh, they redo it. The thing, this Wally Heider ends up becoming a huge recording guy

[88:39]out in San Francisco. And I believe Ram Crosby, Stills Nash Young end up playing and recording

[88:46]some of the songs on this album at that studio in San Francisco. Oh, that's so cool. That's

[88:51]wild. God, this sounds good. You always tie it together. You always tie it together. Wow.

[88:56]All right. Next song on the list. Aaron, I think you've talked maybe this one once before.

[89:01]Mamas and the Papas. This is California Dreamer. Ah, beautiful.

[89:04]You want to talk about song swapping?

[89:10]What was swapping in that group? I think they were all fucking each other, weren't they? It was kind

[89:19]of a real, it was kind of a, uh, uh, Fleetwood Mac situation. Fleetwood Mac situation. Yeah.

[89:25]Waterbeds on the floor and whatnot. Oh, well, she invited a lot of other people over to her house.

[89:31]She was, is it, um, Cass Elliott? Was that her name? Right? Yeah. So she was like really famous

[89:37]for hosting these Hollywood parties. And in 1968, she wanted to introduce Crosby, Stills, and Nash.

[89:43]She invites them over to her house for a party. She's the one who introduces them. That's how

[89:48]they start singing together. That thought was crazy and wild. And when she died, uh, I think

[89:54]it was, uh, Nash was talking about like how important she was to like them beating each

[89:58]other, forming and like how important she was to music and everything.

[90:01]I was reading, I don't know a lot about them, but like at some point members of the band did

[90:05]not want her in the band because of how she looked. And then by like 1968, Rolling Stone

[90:11]like called her like the unquestioned queen of pop music. It's wild. Really? That's, that's,

[90:17]I've never heard that story. That's so good. I love that. I love how low in the register that

[90:21]flute solo is. It's a great flute solo. It's, it is a very low. You're, that's a great point,

[90:26]Aaron. I love it. So there was another two people that she introduced at her house and this is the

[90:30]next song.

[90:31]John Bastian and Zal Yanofsky or someone. These are the main guys from the band love and spoon.

[90:36]The song is, do you believe in magic? Love and spoonful. Yes, there you go.

[90:40]Man, I don't know if I've ever noticed how nice the guitar is on this song.

[90:49]Why do I want to eat McDonald's when I hear this song? Was this used in McDonald's,

[90:53]Dan? I'm sure it was, right? Oh my God.

[90:56]I got to look it up.

[91:00]This is so good. You know what? It's so hard not to sing along with this.

[91:07]Rob's right.

[91:10]Guys, this is a commercial from 1992, the same year as Rage Against the Machine comes out. So

[91:20]let's keep that in mind. And I remember this more than I remember, I don't know,

[91:25]lots of facts in my life that I should know. Like the guy I talk to every day at work,

[91:29]what's his name?

[91:30]I have no idea, but I remember this commercial perfectly. So

[91:32]Rob, if, if, if there was going to be a, a, a adult film with one of the McDonald's characters,

[91:39]would you pick Ronald or Grimace or who's your guy?

[91:42]I know that Ronald does have the big feet and Aaron likes that,

[91:47]but I got to go with the bird. Who's a pilot. You know what I mean? I love a sexy woman in

[91:52]a uniform with a job. Hell yeah. That love and spoonful band, the leader, John Sebastian,

[91:58]love and spoonful, who,

[92:00]uh, mama cast introduced these guys.

[92:03]He was the guy who played the harmonica on teacher children on this album.

[92:07]Oh, really?

[92:08]Always find these connections.

[92:10]I thought it was really cool. So those were some of the greatest hippie anthems ever.

[92:14]Those all have definitely a cool vibe and a cool sound.

[92:18]Wow.

[92:19]I was going to say a good hippie anthem would be Shakira, but

[92:23]can't lie.

[92:25]Can't lie.

[92:26]Also don't forget.

[92:29]One of the horniest of halftime shows ever Shakira was a part of crazy. Everybody talks about the

[92:36]Janet Jackson one is the one that really was like the horniest. I know when you're sitting with your

[92:40]friends and you're talking about what was the horniest halftime show for the super bowl. A lot

[92:44]of people want to say Janet Jackson's Justin Timberlake, uh, go back and watch Shakira. And

[92:49]was it Jennifer Lopez? Oof. Whoa. That was more of a Tom Petty guy. Yeah. The crib keeper. Oh yeah.

[92:54]I like where Bruce Springsteen was dressed as a ref. I think, man, I'd rattle those

[92:59]bones. Oh man. Okay. So here we go. Okay. Track four. This is a Neil Young song. Obviously

[93:06]a lot of people say this is one of the best songs. I wish our listeners could see Matt's face right

[93:10]now. He's he's deep in it. I mean, Neil Young, it's incredible. It's just an incredible voice.

[93:19]It's incredible sound. And no one else ever going to hear something like this again. It's crazy.

[93:23]Joni Mitchell releases her version of the song Woodstock in 1970.

[93:29]1970. This version also comes out in 1970. She heard about this song from her boyfriend,

[93:37]Graham Nash. Remember the first live show, uh, Crosby, Sills, Nash, Nash ever did was Woodstock.

[93:43]He told her about Woodstock. She writes this song and guess what guys I've got a poster in my kitchen

[93:50]that says we are stardust. We are golden. I've got these lyrics in my house as art. It's over a star

[93:57]chart. It's beautiful.

[93:59]I framed it myself from a frame. I found a goodwill. You're very cultured. It's wonderful.

[94:02]That's a, that's a great pull. I always think of this as more of like an Eagle song. It sounds

[94:07]like an Eagle song. It does a little, doesn't it? You know, it's all right. I just, not,

[94:12]not my favorite on this album. I want you guys to mention this. This does feel a little

[94:15]disappointed, right? Maybe it's just all the different lead singers or something. Yeah. Yeah.

[94:20]It does to me. So far we've had, we've had Stills, Crosby, Young, and that was Nash again. And now

[94:28]we have another David Crosby. I mean, this Deja Vu is a true psychedelic song.

[94:32]But guys, guys, now listen, maybe after my last day at school before break,

[94:41]maybe I came home and got super high and played video games and listened to this album. And guess

[94:46]what? It was awesome. The different songs, the different styles blew my mind. And when I heard

[94:52]this song, I was like, I'm freaking out. Okay. Maybe that's the mood. Maybe that's the mood you

[94:57]have to be to listen to this album. I don't know. It's a great college vibe. It's definitely a

[95:00]marijuana album, right? I mean, we don't talk about like, Oh God, this song, man, fucking

[95:05]stabbed me right in the heart. It's such a good song. This is the house he owns with, um, Joni

[95:10]Mitchell, right? This is what they're saying about living together. And she had dated the other guy

[95:16]in the group early years earlier too. Right. But David Crosby, I was thinking about this. This is

[95:21]kind of like Robin, his wife, like these are amazing musicians. This is like Robin, his wife

[95:25]from a weightlifting, like the two world-class,

[95:27]weightlifters, both living together. I wonder if, I wonder if Joni Mitchell had a, had a treadmill

[95:35]that went in front of Graham Nash's TV, this fucking shit. I'm telling you, she's got to walk

[95:41]in front of the goddamn TV. And I asked her to walk low and she can only walk for a little bit

[95:45]before her back hurts so much that she has to walk high again. I can't even see. I could not

[95:49]tell the score of the Vikings game because she was walking in front. And the other thing is she

[95:52]has this little treadmill, this little walk to be clear for our listeners. Your wife has put a

[95:57]treadmill in front of your big screen TV. Yes, exactly. And then walks on it during the Vikings

[96:01]game. And the other thing is Russell, he walks too fast. She cranks it up. It might shock you

[96:06]that she cranks it up to full speed. She's like, I can get all my stuff done in five minutes and

[96:09]shows she's walking too fast. So it's scary to watch her walk. It's very distracting when I'm

[96:13]trying to watch a football game. Okay. And of course I reason with her and say why it's not

[96:17]logical that she's doing this and she understands and stops. That's why she's my best friend.

[96:23]All right. So, uh, by the way, that song, Russell, Dan,

[96:27]Ackroyd is singing that in the beginning of what unlikely movie

[96:30]cone heads. If you said my girl too, you are correct. That is the song he's singing at the

[96:38]beginning of my girl. Is there a second my girl? They're like, what can we kill off with bees this

[96:42]year? A spoilers coming for my girl too. Here's the last sentence. Bada receives an A plus on her

[96:48]essay and hopes to share what she's learned during your trips with her brother someday.

[96:51]Are you watching that movie? Are you watching my girl too? That sounds terrible.

[96:57]All right. Four plus 20. This is stills. Stills is the only, he recorded this song in one take.

[97:03]He's the only voice on this song. It's the only song on the album that is just one person playing

[97:09]and singing. And the other guy said, we cannot touch this vocals. It's perfect. The way it is.

[97:14]These guys are like one of the original super groups. I was reading, they were considered a

[97:18]super group. And like, if you look at the list, like they're after the traveling Wilburys on all

[97:22]these lists of, uh, super group rock.

[97:26]Again, Roy Orbison and the traveling Wilburys is probably like, guys, can we have a part of the

[97:30]song that goes, oh, okay. I love making fun of Roy Orbison. I don't know. We're too late in the

[97:38]episode to quarantine. Like, I think that's a, they weren't a super group in 1970, right?

[97:43]No, these guys were, I mean, who was running out there? Like, oh yeah, they got the, they finally

[97:49]got these massive stars together in 1970. They were members of the Hollies, the birds. They were

[97:56]members of all these bands that were, that were headed huge hits, right?

[97:59]What is it? The Hollies are Springfield. You know, I thought they got really good

[98:04]little Springfields in the, uh, rock and roll. I mean, I, I mean, I, I get like,

[98:09]okay, turn, turn, turn. That's one of the biggest birds. Yeah. Birds is a good one.

[98:14]My favorite part of this super group is when they added buckethead. I thought that made it a lot

[98:19]better. That was it's well, when Chris, when Chris Bosch finally accepted his role in chat

[98:24]corner threes, that's when it really took off.

[98:26]We're not going to win one Grammy, not two Grammys, not three Grammys. This is country girl. This is

[98:33]a three-part song by Neil Young got whiskey boot Hill down, down, down a country girl. I'll just

[98:38]fast forward. So you can hear all three kind of parts of the song. I mean, you can hear where

[98:44]harvest move comes from after this, right? Like it's, it's right there. You have any idea why

[98:51]Neil Young left the last part of that song? I thought it was a banger. I love, I love the

[98:56]country, whatever the country girl. I think you're pretty everybody. I love you. This is just Steven

[99:02]stills. I mean, you can tell so much. This is Steven still song. And again, I highly recommend

[99:07]his basement recording album where it's just him on a guitar. It's crazy. It's a crazy guitar.

[99:11]Well, this kind of feels a little limp and then this kind of has some more fire.

[99:16]Yeah, I agree. I agree.

[99:19]This is the tree not tipped over in the corner. Yeah.

[99:25]All right, folks, that is the end of the album and we are getting into the very popular and very

[99:32]patented. Don't try to steal it. If you try to steal this and I have to copyright strike you

[99:37]makes me sick. Better rating system. Oh yeah. Can I say this to you guys? I had to go back and

[99:47]find something from the last episode. And so I went on the video that we record every time we do

[99:52]this. I had a blast watching the video.

[99:55]I was doing this, these four little squares where Aaron was talking about various parts of tofu.

[100:00]And you could just see me like, I think, Oh, the Yuba. Yeah. I was talking about Yuba.

[100:04]If we released a video, don't say that. If we released a video tier of this podcast,

[100:10]I think we could make some real money. You guys want to do that? You're down with that?

[100:13]No, you're wearing full pants tonight, but the nights where you are wearing briefs and then

[100:17]you stand up, those are the moments our listeners really need.

[100:20]Rob, I'll, I'll agree to do that. When you quit teaching, just go to stand up full time.

[100:25]Do not tempt me. Speaking of video, Rob, what you shaved your mustache and it's already back.

[100:29]You decided not to go with that look or what? Yeah, no, I looked terrible. And of course I

[100:34]sliced a large part of my face off and that part is still red under my mustache. So now it looks

[100:38]like I have a permanent ingrown hair. Oh, things are fucked over here. They're terrible. All right.

[100:44]Let's get into the rating system. We don't care about this album. We couldn't care less. Okay. We

[100:48]don't care about music. We, we hate all of it, but what we like is the list. We like putting things

[100:53]in order. Okay. Tree comes

[100:55]in, tree stands up, falls over. It's, it's the many parts of the holiday season. All right. We,

[101:01]this is what we want to talk about. Is this perfect right here at two 20, by the way,

[101:06]we cracked a new 10. We're into the two twenties. And I was thinking to myself, God, we're so close

[101:10]to two 50. And then, you know what I realized? No, that's going to be like next August that we

[101:16]do two 50, by the way, man, live show, two 50 live show of two 50. What album do we have at two 50?

[101:22]That'd be a good live show. Could we do that at a bar in Minneapolis?

[101:25]And all of our fans come check the capacity of the bar. Does it hold up to 15? I hope it does

[101:30]singles going steady by buzzcocks. I fucking hate this podcast. I hate the whole negative

[101:38]live viewers for that. Well, hell it is two, two, uh, two 49 is Whitney Houston, but Whitney.

[101:43]All right. We should do the live show. I mean, yes. Okay. Can you find the date for that,

[101:48]man? Let's get that done. Just rent us a bar. Even John died. It wouldn't show up for a live

[101:53]version of us doing the

[101:54]buzzcocks. I mean, I can, uh, he would, I think he would, we could come up with a net best bands

[102:00]named after vibrator bit, but I, I feel like we've already done that one. I don't know.

[102:04]Got this feeling. I dreamed it at least. Is this album perfect at two 20? If so. Okay. If this is

[102:11]like a Christmas tree that just sits in the corner and it's just so nice, it goes just up to the

[102:15]ceiling, but doesn't quite touch it. Okay. It's about perfectly wide, perfectly tall. That is a

[102:21]rolling well tone. Okay. Is this Christmas tree? Is this a Christmas tree? Is this a Christmas tree?

[102:24]Too short. You don't like it. It should not be this high up on the list, which of course is a

[102:30]lower number until we get to two 49. That's later. Okay. When we, when Matt has guaranteed,

[102:35]we're going to do a live show, uh, that would be rolling grown. You did not like this album.

[102:41]It's a rolling grown. That's like a Christmas tree. That is, it's too spindly. It's too tall.

[102:46]It's not wide enough. It doesn't give you that holiday feeling. There's, there's barely any

[102:49]room to put any presents underneath that you hired somebody to wrap for you. You have to put

[102:54]presents through the tree. What's that? Nevermind. I've got one present under the tree and it's one,

[103:00]a student gave me. So I just threw it under the tree of my kids are like, what the hell?

[103:04]The one student is to you from Gus. I was like, yep, I guess so next up or no jumped ahead there.

[103:10]Or is this a rolling? No, it's not fine. And I feel like I might have to start over

[103:17]or is this a rolling bone? It should have been higher up in the list.

[103:24]This is guys bangers on this. There are legit bangers on this album. It's an interesting album

[103:29]musically sonically. It's absolutely gorgeous. And like Russell said, it's an important part

[103:33]of music history. Should have this been higher on the list? That would be a rolling bone. And I

[103:38]could show you how to do that at my clinic. That's actually a 300 level class. So you got to pay a

[103:42]little extra for that one. The rolling bone move. Uh, what do you think Aaron rolling? Well-toned

[103:45]rolling bone or rolling grown deja vu? Yeah, I think I'm, uh, I think I'm not fully sold on the

[103:53]young experience i think teach your children and our house are i mean maybe top 25 songs of all

[104:01]time i fucking love those songs but the rest of the album i could take or leave uh i don't dig

[104:05]on the harmonies it's too jangly it's too twee for me so i gotta give it a rolling groan it's

[104:11]like the fish it's like the fish of the uh jam bands yeah a little bit to me yeah i think so

[104:16]like a little noodley just a little soft a little i kind of do yeah aaron didn't like the aaron

[104:22]doesn't like when they use like the nonsense words as the bridge they did the la la la yeah

[104:27]that's what they did something that you didn't like either right you're right yeah it's it's

[104:31]not my thing well if one of you are going to listen to an album soon that is pretty much the

[104:36]exact opposite of this album in every single way well quite frankly if i weren't concerned about

[104:40]getting an angry voicemail i would uh i wouldn't give this rolling uh i would not be so so harsh

[104:46]but i can do that now i'm free to say whatever i want so this one's rolling this is really grown

[104:51]to me don't

[104:52]make me sad that's not fair don't weaponize that you already got your five days off

[104:56]okay don't make us feel bad i got man i got raked over the coals for what i said about the eagles so

[105:02]i had to like wow i had to tone it down but i'm not into this album well if he comes back and

[105:07]haunts you that would be i don't know that i mean it might happen but i don't want to yuck anybody

[105:10]i don't i didn't hear what you guys think i don't want to yuck anyone's young so i'm trying to

[105:14]temper my thoughts matt what do you and aaron i just want to say i'm sorry i said the word haunt

[105:18]too soon matt rolling ball tone or was i calling back to a

[105:22]joke that maybe people didn't hear so i wanted to get that in i'd sick either way uh matt rolling

[105:26]well-toned rolling rolling grown what do you think i'm a terrible person i think this is an awesome

[105:31]album i have to admit that it's probably more the neil young influence that i really end up going

[105:39]towards you asked rob why he kind of comes in and out it's because he's absolutely a solo artist he

[105:46]can't stand being part of a group he can't stand if somebody's got like a little bit of a you know

[105:52]a bit of a different take and then it goes against him and so he wants to do folk music but he wants

[105:58]heavy guitars kind of thing some people just struggle with that level of maturity yeah he

[106:03]probably was he probably asks for opinions on like jokes and stuff and like says hey guys help

[106:08]me you know like clean up this song a little bit and then everybody gives him a whole bunch of

[106:12]you know like suggestions and then he just uses none of them kind of a thing you know so almost

[106:17]like he just wanted to see if his idea was actually the best he wanted to prove it confirmation bias

[106:21]yeah that makes sense

[106:22]sounds to me really really it was probably brian from woodberry's idea that was the best for that

[106:27]song but you know we'll talk about that another day uh so i think you know my my my sway will

[106:36]always be towards the neil young stuff but i mean cripes i think there's just some maybe one or two

[106:41]songs that i could pass on this otherwise i love this album but i'm gonna listen to 19 neil young

[106:49]albums before i come back to this one i think if that makes sense you know i'll listen to

[106:52]harvest 10 out of 10 before coming back to this so i'm just gonna say it's rolling well toned right

[106:57]here but i think i do think it's very very good music russell what do you think deja vu i'm gonna

[107:04]go uh probably a little bit in the middle of these guys so matt's talking about the neil young i pulled

[107:09]out the the neil young harvest one that is such a fantastic album i think i like this more than

[107:14]the crosby stills nash the last one we did i don't know how many months ago that was but i think i

[107:19]like this one a little bit more and to me i'm going to go back to cripes i'm going to go back to

[107:22]kind of the hippie anthem thing i just think they're like they're too important for that like

[107:26]laurel canyon era that time and music and and i think it's it's too important about time and music

[107:31]and there's such a big part of that so i'm going to say it's rolling well tone unfortunately you

[107:36]guys are incorrect shit right this 161 by the way russell 161 so 161 we're really we're cruising

[107:46]think about how long ago that was this gets is that that's when we had the first what crosby stills

[107:52]that was just crosby stills nash by that was 160 that was that that was 60 episodes ago i feel like

[108:00]we just did that one that's crazy to me next up no this gets a rolling harmonization laurel canyon

[108:07]oh damn it this gets a rolling harmonization in plosion how can these guys make such beautiful

[108:16]harmonies and not get along okay not get along

[108:20]i'll get along

[108:22]that's because that's because they didn't have somebody in charge to tell them which way was

[108:34]best okay they need a strong leader okay who's willing to take all the arrows for the rest of

[108:39]the team okay it's something they didn't have next up it's a cd that told me whether or not i should

[108:45]do what they tell me and it turns out my wife is not part of the machine and does not like it when

[108:50]i quote this album tour it's rage against the machine by rage against the machine

[108:54]oh god where's the fucking sound clip now

[108:57]electric zap is where i think this thing should be where it's not oh there it is down there sorry

[109:03]everybody don't mean to play the electric zap we don't even need that one anymore when you want to

[109:06]hear about the greatest albums of all time yeah apparently folding the laundry is not uh well

[109:13]mathematics is probably raging against the machine but you're not folding the laundry
