Rage Against the Machine: Rage Against the Machine (1992)

Beck Did It Better Podcast 1992
About this episodeI shouldn't write the summary but I will if you ask me to. You might say doing a WHOLE song for a parody is too much but FUCK YOU I won't do what you tell me!  We talk about these bomb tracks and explore one of the angriest bands when we become the BEST podcast about Rage Against the Machine.  We talk abou personal stuff before we talk about the music and we try to funny. Who even reads these?  Call or text the Beck line at 802-277 BECK.  Next week (for real) we have Madonna's Ray of Light.

[0:00]Russell, did you look at your cell phone By chance? A text message? Like a side type text? Ooh, what the hell is this? Like a little extra text. It's up to you. And... Oh, I can't do it without looking at it. I tried. I thought about it. I can't do it. And... It's only been 220 fucking times. Plus a Christmas episode. I mean what, guys? We should do that again. Let's add some extra episodes Just for fun. In 2020, Four friends decided to listen To every one of the greatest 500 albums Decided by Rolling Stone Magazine. This resulted in a text chain That celebrated the music, Excoriated the order, And led us to making this podcast. We are far from experts. We promise to do almost no research. All opinions are our own Unless you disagree. Please sit back and enjoy. Beck did it better. We are all the way up to album 221. One two hundred and twenty-one. And from 1992, It's an album that was voted Least likely to have any first dances At a wedding on it. At least there's a...

[1:00]I didn't know how to state that. Runner-up, Nine Inch Nails. Rage Against the Machine. That's a good one, Matt. By Rage Against the Machine. Okay. You know what? I know what that is. That's an eponymous album. Wow. We learned. We were all sitting around Listening to an earlier episode, As you heard at the beginning of this one. And it was depressing for all of us Because it's pretty much the same show. We've made all the same jokes. We did an Amber Sand bit. It was... It was crazy. Now, folks. Today. Why... You know what? Guys, why mess around? Why do anything but get right into the radio? Now, can I just say this? I had a problem today. There's a problem with this song. And I'll edit it however you want, But I've got two problems with this song. Drink more blue Gatorade. I had... I had three problems with this song. Okay, I found another... You can mix that with wine now. It's called Gator Wine. No. Okay. What? I haven't tried it, But you can do it. You can also just stop doing All the foot jokes About Aaron And just admit that

[2:00]You're the one With the foot fetish And then we can kind of... Okay, can I just say this? I sent a picture Of my wife's foot To the text chain As a peace offering. And I said, Hey, let's all share Pictures of our wife's feet. That was not your wife's foot. 100% that was. Didn't you recognize Those shoes? It's a very long foot. Her feet are fucking huge, Aren't they? Don't you recognize Those shoes, man? Yeah. Those are the Rockstud shoes That I bought at the store. No. Yeah. Don't you recognize Those shoes? No, that was needed To me. Aaron right clicked And saved that shit On his phone. He held his finger on that And saved that to his photos. I know he did, Aaron. Rob, assuming we know What his wife's shoes Look like, Is the most Rob thing There is. Like, that is the most... Yeah. How do we know What his wife's shoes Look like? You know, they're the ones. Those are the shoes I paid $1,100 for At the store. Now we know why. You're a foot freak. Yeah, of course you did. You just want To see those. That's for your spank bank. Wow. Yeah. You know what? It is kind of adding up. I feel like I'm in momentum Where it's like going backwards And it turns out

[3:00]I am a foot guy. I'm like, oh, guys, I wish I was. My life would be so easy. Is momentum backwards? Oh, wear this COVID mask In your sock for a day And then I'll pay you $10 To wear it on my face. Okay, like I'm going To say stuff like that? Come on. What if we did this episode In that style backwards? Oh, that was A total terrible thing. It turns out The least important stuff Is the stuff At the end of this show. It's terrible. We cannot do that. We can do that On the next Madonna album, Which is the next album. Listen, let's get right into it. Now, I got three problems Here, Russell. So I hate to do this On a late record. Number one, Problem number one. The part of the song I wanted to do A parody song of Is at the end And I didn't know How to do that. I couldn't just cut Halfway into the song. It made no sense. So I had to parody the end. Number two, Let me ask you this. When we've heard So embarrassing, I don't know that When we've heard Killing Me, Killing in the Name of, Have we ever wanted

[4:00]To not hear The entire song? Guys, I need more energy From this for the second recording. Have we ever not Wanted to hear the whole song? You're asking Russell. No, we've always wanted To hear the whole song. Famously in Vegas, We heard Killing in the Name of Three nights in a row And on the third night, It still kicked ass. It kicked ass The third night. It was so good That Aaron sent a video of us And we had a coordinated dance That we were doing And we were having A fucking blast And there was like three of us And a 50-year-old woman By the stage. Sunday night at 1 a.m. Yes. Yeah. We've always wanted To hear the whole song. Yes. Problem number three. Man, don't put your head In your hands yet. Come on now. Problem number three. I came home today After work. I had a half day. My winter break just started And I got super high And then I did this parody song. Okay. Now, when I listen back later, Okay, Not as funny as I thought When I first made it. So I'm just going to tell you guys Right now, Beside the Elizabeth Holmes song About Aaron's sister, This is the only time I have ever done a parody

[5:00]Of the full song. And if we want to edit it later, We can, But I just want to acknowledge That I know That this is what I did. Okay. But guess what? I also think it's kind of good And I think you'll like it For a certain reason. So let's turn on. We got a brand new radio station Today, guys. It's not K-Rob. Wait, it's not K-Rob? Welcome, everybody. This is K-Brat. K-B-R-T. Robbie. Oh, I won't. We don't take requests. We'll never take requests. Don't call the brat line. We never pick up.

Barry from Burnsville loved that song. All right, good. Then it's in. Then the whole thing's in. But he should join us at New York. January 18th. Next year. Next year. Oh yeah, he'll be there. We're going to need him. Bigger boat. Don't forget about Varsity Jacket Day, guys. Remember the first day we all wear our high school letter jackets? Okay, it's so funny. So if everybody does that the first day, don't forget.

[11:00]Yeah, I got to go get mine from my mom's. This award is one I put on later. It is Varsity Kissing. All right. We've done that bit before. What other patches would you have on there, Rob? We have done that bit before? Oh yeah, we've all done the kissing bit. I'll tell you what. If I could get another patch. Another patch? I don't know. I mean. It would be Adams. Don't make me say it. I mean what I'm going to say. It would just be two Fs. It would be two capital Fs. And everybody would be like, you didn't letter that. I'd be like, yeah, but I was JV. Yeah, but I ate a lot of French fries. I would have gotten the French fry letter. What would I have gotten a letter in? I don't know. You know what? I drank IBC root beers. If I could have gotten an IBC root beer patch, I drank a ton of IBC root beers in high school. I could have lettered in Burger King cheeseburgers. I was a four cheeseburger guy. I was like, I'm not going to get double cheeseburgers. I'm going to get four single cheeseburgers. You're a bun. You're bunny. You love that bun. I guess I did, right?

[12:00]But it's like about the ratio, I think the cheeseburger is almost the perfect ratio. I think a quarter pounder, I think, is too thick. The double cheeseburger, forget about it. It feels like you're like chewing fat. But when you get a burger, you're just carved up. I love it. I think you're totally right. Now, listen. I've got, God, I forgot we're doing a podcast. I've got three. I've got three. I've got three. I've got three guys here who bought their Che Guevara shirts off Amazon. So that seems to not. Thank you, Aaron. What would the good doctor think of that? I've got Russell in Minneapolis. Russell, how are you doing? Rob, fuck you. I won't do what you tell me. Oh, Jesus Christ. That makes, that turns me on. I've got Matt in Minneapolis. Matt, how are you doing? Rob, fuck you. I won't do what you tell me. Okay, I get what the text was about. And I've got Aaron out in California. Okay. I asked Aaron, do you hear recently you've been hearing about this bird flu. I said, Aaron, have you heard about this bird flu? And he goes, yeah, they tend to do that. Rob, fuck you.

[13:00]I won't do what you tell me. Oh, my gosh. Okay, wait a minute. I've got to just real quick. I'm going to just do something. Okay, now beat off fast. Yeah, beat off. I've turned off my video. This is a visual joke. I've turned off my video. Rob has now got his weightlifting side up while he is imitating that he's beating off. This is my work. This is my work Zoom. And the picture is me cheering after powerlifting. So I'm wearing spandex. This is what comes up when I come into a Zoom meeting. So like for parent-teacher conferences, this is the first picture they see. It's me like celebrating a huge deadlift. Dominance. Fully established my dominance. Okay. And I didn't do a Jeffrey tube in there. Oh, wow. Rob, I'm pretty sure you've used the bird flu joke before, but we've done a lot of episodes. Fuck. I thought I did. Okay. Now I've got to do the joke. I was worried I did. I thought maybe you wouldn't say anything. I shouldn't have. Aaron went to the hospital and the doctor said, oh, no. You've got acute injury to your penis. And Aaron said, oh, thank God. It was bad before. And then the doctor was his wife. How could that be? Wow. I don't know how that works. Wait a minute.

[14:00]This doctor is a woman. Did I ever tell you I have a friend who literally was a doctor in training and ended up marrying The doctor that she was training with? And the way he seduced her is he said, hey, you should practice your eye tests and held Up the eye test. He held up the eye thing and moved closer to her and closer and then kissed Her when he was doing an eye test. And I was like, what? Damn. That's so smooth. That's very well planned. Doesn't that sound illegal? Well, no, they're consenting adults. Oh, but it seems like there's a TV show about this. I think the guy's wife wasn't real happy about it. Scrubs? Oh, I've got and I've got Grey's Anatomy. Oh, I know what we're doing. Married McDreamy. Folks, we're not messing around. Let's go. Let's go right to the voicemails. By the way, we have no voicemails. Please. I'm out of voicemails. Can you imagine? This is the holiday season and I open up Santa's bag of voicemails and I get coal.

[15:00]There's nothing there. You know what? Fuck you guys for not calling in and leaving more voicemails. We're working our balls off over here. I thought you sent us a text saying we had a question. Well, no, I do. But after this, we have none. So I'm just kind of preemptively yelling at the people who aren't. I'm just calling in. Get calling in. Okay. Oh, I've got to go Christmas shopping for my family. Oh, other stuff that's going on. I have to play video games on the couch. No, you got to call and leave us voicemails, please. Let's get into it. Hey, it's the girl from St. Olaf. I know I say it weird, but I do actually go there. Oh, yeah. I was just looking. Doubt it. Doubt it. Doubt it. Listen to the Joy Division episode and the Little Wayne episode. They were so funny. The parody song was amazing. And listening to the podcast again got me thinking.

[16:00]You guys are always talking about how there's like a favorite song on every album. And I think you guys should make a playlist of all of your top songs that you've heard on the podcast. And I guess my question is, if you were to make a playlist, like what is the first song you would want to put on that playlist? Wow. Our first song. An album that you've heard on the podcast. So you guys are so funny. I love the podcast. I love hearing about St. Olaf. But bye. Now. Wow. Appreciate you, first of all. By the way, that person does also have a radio show at St. Olaf. And I've listened to it. And it's a radio show that's a history about St. Olaf. So every episode, they have a researched history of St. Olaf. It's a great show. It's super interesting. Did they cover 2002 with the rust-laying pipe era? Oh, my God. It's funny because it's so far from the truth.

[17:00]Blue Gatorade sales were through the roof. The rust-laying pipe era. Otherwise, every woman is told to buy curtains. I'm sorry, Russell. I'm glad you're peeping Tom, vigorously jerking off, looking through the window at these. College-age women. Yeah, that's really the route I was hoping for. But, yeah. All right. Strange way to take that one. But, all right. Here's the deal. I was too young. I was too old to make cassette tapes for people. But I was just the right age where I was making mixed CDs for people. And the opening song is so important. What if you guys made... So, nowadays, we're not making CDs. We're not making cassettes. We're making playlists. If you were making a playlist for somebody nowadays, what's an opening song from this podcast? That you would put as the opening song? Anybody want to go first? I'll go first. I still think one of the best opening songs, because of how it opens, is Wouldn't It Be Nice by the Beach Boys.

[18:00]Oh, yeah. Yeah. You know. And it's up there on the list. Yeah, great start. Wow. Yeah that's a nice start. That is a nice start. And listen. You can just hear it. And you can hear somebody waving a gun around in the background. Yeah. This is a great choice, man. If I got this mixed playlist from you, if I got a mixed CD like this from you, I'd be thrilled. Absolutely thrilled. There's too many songs we've gone through. Way too many. I mean, we would have album upon album of great songs we've heard. But I'm sure Russell's got some sort of running list or something. This would be a great opening song. His favorites. Russell, what do you think? I'll let Aaron go. I've got a couple of them. So, I'll let Aaron go first. All right. So, I'm. Oh, this is so hard, but I want to. That's what she said. I want to name so many. Aaron, that's what she said. Limit myself to just one. And that one is going to be I've Been Loving You Too Long by Otis Redding.

[19:00]Off of the Otis Blue album. Oh, that's a good one. This is a good. God, this is. You know what? This is a good bit. Just going back through our favorite songs. Yeah. And I don't know if it's if it starts off your playlist exactly correctly, but. It's just, it's the one I got to choose. When it kicks in. Yeah. This is so good. Where's it kick in here? And I do have to say, Otis Redding, These Armors of Mine was actually the first dance At my wedding, but we've not heard that song on the list yet. So, choosing this song from the list is this one. Don't make this a first wedding list just because you want to impress somebody. Listen. Because. Because. Listen, I'm telling her, I'm telling you that I would choose that one, but it hasn't Been heard on the list. I'm choosing this one. All right. Well, I'll tell, I'll tell her what we were talking about over the break, which is you Want to sign up for my sex clinic. Okay.

[20:00]Okay. And I appreciate that. For her pleasure. Wait, am I teaching the classes now at the sex clinic? Is that how this. I think that's where we're. The last time you were pushing her butt around. I mean, whatever it is, man. It's for her. I thought I was taking the classes. This whole thing is because I'm bad at sex. And now I'm running the clinic. I mean, those who can't do teach, I guess learn one. You know what I mean? It's like how a gym, you've never had a gym teacher that can dunk a basketball. You're fat as hell. Just like me at the sex clinic. It makes perfect sense. Russell, what do you think? What's a good opening for a playlist? I actually spend about a half hour thinking about this, looking at old albums today. I'm going to rip off a few and then I've got some runner ups. Then I'll give you my final one. What a life. My beautiful. Twisted fantasy. The opening on that is my favorite song ever hypnotized by Biggie. You turn that one on. That's an all timer. We've listened to that one. 10th Avenue freeze out is fantastic.

[21:00]Wait, I got to do that. Yeah, you do. That's got some serious. That's almost as good as Fifth Avenue heartache. Almost as good as Fifth Avenue heartache. Number five. If I remember right. The big man. How about the skyline lane heartbreak? That's what they called me. Rob, are you clicking on that or trying to drag it somewhere? Wait, that's not the opening. Wow. Yeah. I got landed horses by Patty. Smith was up there for me either at star man or life on Mars by Bowie. I wouldn't signify that star man. So I thought please. By James Brown. I thought rag mama rag because it was the famous tuba song, but here's where I ended up. I, I only laughed at please, because the please bit from The episode is also an old timer. We're not going to pull up old episodes, but the please bit was really good. Russell halfway up the stairs with his Christmas tree.

[22:00]Russell's on a work trip. She comes to the floor is wet. Tree's tipped over. The text message you get. Angel from Montgomery. John Prine was what I thought about. But listen, Aaron, my final six, Aaron, I knew it wasn't going to be as funny the second time. Okay. And that's not why I tried it. I was doing that for fun. I was doing that as like a look back history lesson. Okay. Not because I thought it was going to be the running bit for the show. And we nailed it again. We caught fire twice. You know what I mean? But lightning in a bottle. Yeah. I wasn't trying to do that. So it's a good thing it didn't work out. We talked last week how I love the levee breaks by Zeppelin. I was thinking back one of the ones that I really loved. And we actually, at the time we talked about this, The song is over by the who. And the reason this one comes for me is this one has, Some of the great drum fills by, who's the drummer for the who again? Help me out. And I think me learning about Keith Moon was one of my favorite things.

[23:00]So I'm going to say this would be one of them. This is, can I just tell you right now? Yeah. This is crazy. This is objectively a crazy. If you sent me a CD. Go halfway through. Go halfway through and listen to some of the drum fills. If you sent me a CD and it started with this song, that would be crazy. Okay. Listen, you're not paying attention. You're not listening, Rob. Listen. Oh, this might be the wrong song. This might be a different song. I mean, man, you get a CD of the mail. This is the first time. This is the wrong one. What you do. What emoji would that be? Okay. If I came from Russell, I'd definitely give it a try. Oh, you have to. First of all, I'd have to get a CD player. Oh, there's no way. Oh, let the second half of that go with Keith Moon reeling it. You turn it off. You know what? Like with so many things, I think I was impatient, Russell. I think I have to say I was wrong.

[24:00]You hear that fill right there? But I wanted to pull back to ones because part of this for me has been the vinyl adventure. So I'm going to pull back to three of my favorite albums that I got from my mom's house when we started this journey. So my second runner up, I'm going to Neil Young, old man from harvest would be one of my songs. My second runner up. Oh man. My first runner up. Also known as the parody song that almost ended the podcast. I didn't want to bring that up. I can see Rob was trying hard. Okay. I'm sorry. I feel bad. I do. When I listen to the old episodes that I mean to Aaron, it makes me feel bad. Rob was trying hard not to mention that one. There might be a little bit of a heart in there anyways, Aaron. Yeah. He's feeling bad about it. It's in there. Another parody song that almost ended the podcast. My number one runner up was from Stevie wonders songs in the key of life. It was Sir Duke or Rob did it. Sir Duke. Sir Duke.

[25:00]But what a great Sir Duke. Is that the one where I just did the fart sounds? Yes. Oh no. So you insulted Aaron as bad as you could. Then you insulted me. Cause you know, I don't like that type of potty humor, but I told you, what did I do with those fart sounds? As soon as that episode was done, I deleted them all. Off the soundboard. I knew I could not be trusted with those. I'm strong. I'm growing. So my number one, this is what I'm going to start my list with. It starts one of the best albums of all time. We've listened to it. It was, I believe the album we did on our first podcast we'd ever did. That was not, we re-released it, but it's the opening. I'm going to do a funeral for a friend and love lives bleeding. Oh, Yellow brick road, which I got for my mom. That's my opener on my list. This is a, This is a crazy opener. This is so good. And if you did this, someone would say, I have so many ways. This is, I got this album from my mom's it's got the date and everything written on it. This was the first one we did together.

[26:00]I've got it. This is my opener. This is it. Russell. This is so good. I wish you would have gone after me. Oh, no, this is terrible. I got to go now. Fortunately, you guys are incorrect. Hey, there's only one best intro song for any playlist of all time. And you know what it is. You put the shit on you're ready to have a good time. It doesn't matter what you're doing. All right. Yes. You could be getting gas into your car. You could be walking into the bathroom. You hear this shit is about to get serious. Cause you're going to die. You're the jungle baby. So good. Good college vibe album, Robin. Well, you do have more than one knife in your dorm room. If you're listening, if this is what's playing all the time. Yeah, I would say so. Hey, another song, just like we're going to hear a little bit later today.

[27:00]Now, folks, if you're thinking to yourself, was that just the voicemail? You are correct. And now we're getting into rolling. Oh, and Aaron, let's see what everybody's going. How's it going with you? It's time for roll it. Go. Oh, yeah. I felt like I needed to let the sting play out. The real guns. Good. I have a, I do have a flight story, which I relayed to you all over text, but I wanted And some of our listeners probably heard this over text, but I do want to tell the whole Time for better playing on story time. All right. All right. These are the stories that I like. Tell us about the trip. This song kicks ass. Speaking of Tony Benjamin. We're going to hear about your flight tonight. Oh, yeah. All right. I would say that's my favorite Nazareth song. This took place about a week and a half ago now.

[28:00]It's been a while, but on our flight from SFO to Minneapolis on a Monday night, a couple Of weeks ago, we were headed from SFO to Minneapolis. Our flight left San Francisco. It was scheduled to leave at 5.50 PM. So we had our full day of work and school headed to the airport. Everything was smooth. We got on the plane. The plane was pretty full. We were flying Sun Country and the overhead bins were full. Everybody's on. Everything goes fine. Flight attendants are closing the overhead bins. One of them across the aisle from us would not close. And so the flight attendant goes to take a bag out and there's a woman sitting in the Row behind me across the aisle. And she says, I'm sorry, ma'am. We're cardholders. I wouldn't recommend moving that bag. I wouldn't recommend it. We're on Sun Country. So she says, yeah, we're cardholders. I don't recommend moving that. And so the flight attendant goes like, OK, well like, well, it won't close. We can't get the thing closed. She says, move someone else's bag. Move someone else's bag.

[29:00]So there's this whole thing going on. And she's kind of belligerent. And she's there sitting next to her husband in the row and then across the row from them. They have some friends who are there with them. I think they were Bears fans who had been in town for the Niners Bears game on Sunday. They were flying out on Monday. The worst human beings, by the way. Bears fans. I thought you might enjoy that. I thought that was the worst. You might enjoy. So there's kind of this little drama going on about it. And then this guy sitting across the aisle from me very kindly says what? You can move my bag. It's fine. It's not a big deal. Just move my bag. So that gets solved. They move the guy's bag. Then we get delayed. We're on the tarmac for two hours for a mechanical incident. So throughout this two hours, the woman who is the cardholder and wouldn't allow them to move her bag starts making noise. She's being pretty loud and saying things like what? We're going to get back to MSP and we got to get our car out of the garage by 1 a.m. And if we don't, Sun Country is going to pay for it. And she's like really wound up about the whole thing. You know what you should have done? You know what I would have done at that point, Aaron? Tell me. Give her a high five and act like you're on her side.

[30:00]Yeah. The funniest thing would be like if you just went with her the whole time and you're just like, yeah, fuck yeah. You tell him and you just got her all riled up. Yeah. And then when she's getting all fucking fired up, you hit that do or dis button. They come back and you say, excuse me, this woman is yelling on the plane and I want her kicked off. And you do what I'm doing to that guy at work where I don't like him so much that I'm acting like I'm a good friend. The ultimate payback. I'm sitting there trying to figure out like what I should do. I'm thinking about, okay, what happens when we land? And now this woman has to cross paths with the guy who said you can move his bag and it's going to be an altercation. I'm kind of feeling a little bit uncomfortable about it. And she's getting louder and it's going on and she and her friends are being loud about Sun Country and all of this. And. Two hours later, they've, they even let us, they let people get off the plane when you're delayed for so long. So then they call everyone back on the plane. The woman who had been sitting next to this, the loud woman, who's not their friend, scooted out and she was like, I'm not sitting next to her anymore.

[31:00]So she goes up to the front of the plane. I don't know exactly what happened. So everybody gets back on the plane. Hey, look at me. She's the pilot now. Yeah. And for people at home, I did the, I'm the captain now. I think it's not a strong joke, but I think that helps. So. It's worth it. Just to give some context. So then the gate attendant gets onto the, so we get everybody on the plane. We're going to, we're going to leave. It seems like it's going to be fine. The gate agent comes onto from the airline, comes onto the plane and says to the woman, I need to talk to you off the plane. So he walks off, she hustles off right behind him. Like nothing's going to happen. And she'd been sitting next to her husband. So then she hustles off the plane, like 90 seconds later. And answers his cell phone. And he goes, what do I have to get off too? Oh my God. They fucking threw her ass off the plane. They gave her the hook.

[32:00]They got her the fuck off of there. And the husband was like, but what? And so then the gate agent comes back on to talk to the husband and he's like, well, what do I do? And the gate agent's like, it's up to you. You can fly if you want, or you can get off with your wife. And the gate agent's like, well, do Do you know where her bag is? And that's, that's the one time I raised my hand. I was like, her bag's right there. That's the one. That's the one. Everybody knows it's right there. Right. I would have flown home and those divorce papers would have been signed before she even got on that fucking second plane. And then the guy looks across the aisle to their friends and goes like, well, are you guys? And the friends go, no, we're not getting off. They're going. Yeah. So he gets off the plane too. And then once they, once we finally even close the doors. Friends who had been like all buddy with her up until then, we're like, well, now can we move across to that empty row so we can have that. So then they like moved over to her empty seat and stretched out. Oh man. You know that this is a thing where like they were friends with the guy.

[33:00]The guy ends up marrying this woman and now they're like forced to go on vacations together and they just cannot stand her. And they're going to talk about the story about how she got kicked off the plane for years. But I mean, props to everyone involved. It like, it was like deadly stealth. Efficient. Like I just came on and was like, ma'am, I've talked to you off the plane. And then that was it. And then she calls her husband. I mean, it was amazing. I was so impressed. That's good to know. I don't know. You just with that friend thing. You just think that maybe it's kind of like our friends in our friend group who they married wives. We didn't like, so let's talk about who that is right now. Let's talk about, let's just talk to a couple of names. If you guys had to say two people who married people, you don't like, who would you say in our friend group? Jenny. I think he means you're the asshole, Rob. I thought she could have done better. That hits so hard. That hits so hard. That's so true. Aaron, that's great. Seeing a person get kicked off the plane when you wanted them to.

[34:00]It was very satisfying. It was so satisfying. Oh, the karma. What would your guys reaction be? Like, I'm not going to comment on whether I think any of your spouses would ever get kicked off a plane, but if it happened, I will. And you got a call and had to get off. What would you react? It's like, for me, that would. That would be breakup type. If someone behaved in a manner where they asked you to not be on the plane, I wouldn't be able to handle it. Listen to this. We go to a swim meet. They have police there to make sure people are not standing on the rail because then other parents can't see. Amelia is racing in a race that takes eight minutes to complete. You want to guess where Jenny goes? To the rail. Up to the rail. She is warned by the security guards to sit down. She says, no, I will not. And then stands up there for eight minutes. Eight minutes filming it. She then comes back to the seats. All the security guards follow her. And when she and I knew exactly what was happening, I knew. And I was like, and I said to her, I did say to her, Russell, I said, if you get kicked out of here, you're going on your own.

[35:00]I am not supporting this. I do not think. So I have set the boundaries already that my wife gets kicked out because it's very possible she could. You never know what she's going to say. She's an absolute. Okay. You don't know what's going to set her off. You know what I mean? Or she could just not care. You never know. What is she, has she watched that tape again? Has she gone back and looked at it? She recorded on her phone for eight minutes instead of watching the actual race. So did she, has she gone back and used that film to critique the swimming and everything? No. How would we even critique the swimming? I always tell her like, can't you just move your arms faster? And she gets mad when I say that. So she doesn't like my coaching. I don't know what to say. We're never watching that again. And then, oh, hey, let's text. It's the grandparents. Hey, I got news for you. No, the grandparents don't want to see the kid who's doing an eight minute swim race. Send us that 50 free. Yeah. You want to guess I'll give you a hint. When my wife films this race, do you think she zooms in just the right amount or does

[36:00]She zoom out way far so you can barely see anything? And by the way, they all look the same. They're all 15 year old girls swimming for eight minutes. You can't tell who's who. I would not recommend that this be the episode that for your Christmas present that Jenny Listened to. Maybe listen to the last one or two episodes ago. Not this one. Just the recommendation. He's not going to listen. How about this? Aaron, Matt, what would your spouse say to you if you got kicked off a plane? Oh, I'd be in big trouble. I mean, she wouldn't have to say anything, right? And I was thinking about like what you asked, what would you do? And it probably all depends on what the situation is. If there's kids at home or something like there's kids at home and you get home like, Hey, I got to go like you got to figure this out. I got to go. But if we're in the situation where the kids are going to go, I'm going to go. The kids are growing up and all that stuff. I mean, you probably have to get off and just bear it with it. Right. Yeah. Yeah. It'd be crazy if everybody saw your wife get kicked off. And then during the flight, you started hitting on people around you. Oh what I mean?

[37:00]Like you put your wedding ring in your pocket. What's up? I do wonder what happened to those folks. So if you're listening out there and you got thrown off of a flight on Monday, December 9th, please call in and tell us how it turned out for you, Matt. 90, 90% of the time. Right. And I'm, this is where I'm saying 90%. Because maybe somebody knows somebody on this podcast who would be in the 10, 90% of the Time, the person's drunk or high or something, right? Like that's the problem. So you got to think that at least they're going to feel bad about it after they come Off. But they probably had too many drinks in the Delta lounge before the flight. And then we're talking loud to two women. They didn't realize it. And then told the flight that their hearing aids were turned off. And that's why they were being so loud. Being in the 20,000 foot club is doing it with a stranger after your wife got kicked Off the plane for bad behavior. Wow. So that was my flight story. Thank you. That's the sympathy. Hey, yeah, you're just, you're just, you're primed for the sympathy. I'm in the 30,000. I'm in the 30, I'm in the 30,000 foot club. What is it? No, three, not the 30,000 foot club.

[38:00]That's a terrible name. That's a, that's a club. Hey, by the way, that's a club. You fly. That's cruising at 40,000 feet. It's a, it's a three mile high. It's a mile high club, right? There you go. But what if you just had the door cracked and it's just you in the Bathroom? That's not the mile high club anymore. That right. What? Why would you crack the door? Cause you're looking at somebody. Oh, that's creepy. Sorry about that. Everybody never going to hear this rolling, going with Matt. A little bit about my peeping Tom stuff tonight is not coming off very Well. Not coming off. Well, Rob, I got to start crossing stuff off my list. So can we put on, I've got on here, bad decisions by the strokes. We haven't played that. Here we go. I've got a, I've got, On good authority that Courtney from Hastings listens to the podcast. Now Rob's money, Courtney from Hastings. Yeah. So I thought we better shout out when we started hearing people who are Quietly listening that maybe haven't called in or something, but Courtney

[39:00]From Hastings is listening. I would love to get a Bex to the Bex line, 802, two seven Beck. Okay. Otherwise I might have to go off on some of you. So Courtney, the famous thing is Courtney. I used to play. It's funny. I'm calling him Courtney, but we're going to stick with the Courtney. This is first name. Yeah. But we're, we're playing pool at the L and M and two brothers who may or may not be twins. And you guys know who they are. You know, Courtney and I used to just get hammered and play pool and it was the greatest thing In the world. And one of them, one time Courtney did something in the one of them. Oh, that's, that's not a, a, a PA rules or something like that. And Courtney almost fell over laughing at the guy like you're fucking Amy. So Courtney, I remember playing pool. It was fun times. I wish we could play pool again sometime. So, and listen to those two brothers who I know also listen to the show. We're not talking about you. We're talking about two other brothers. Not about you. Yeah. Talking about those Menendez guys.

[40:00]Oh my God. Those guys. I got to tell you, say those guys love basketball. They did. They loved it. Never missed a game. Never passed period. Never passed up a shot. Yeah, they did not. Never found a shot. They didn't like. So allegedly Europeans, and I've heard this in many different locales are just gets, Are just getting all sick of, the tourists coming in. Right. And then like going to all the fancy restaurants and everything. So in London, a group of tourists have started, doing all sorts of Yelp reviews and everything For something called Angus Steakhouse, which is essentially the Applebee's. Oh, and so they've started putting all sorts of like, just like five-star reviews and I can't get into this place and I wish the tourists would stop finding us. And this is the best steak sandwich I've ever had in the world. So they've started tricking tourists into going to the Applebee's of London.

[41:00]And I think it's really clever. Absolutely brilliant. I hey mate, I want some riblets, right? You know what I mean? Like I want an electric lemonade, mate. But if you're like me and like. My wife is excellent at like finding these places like holes in the wall and finding reviews and all this stuff. And we, we would probably fall for this. Would you guys fall for this if you were a tourist? Sure. Right. You're there, you're hungry. You're just like, oh, I gotta pull up the app and see what I can find. Of course. I know for a fact that Yelp is slimy. I know that their practices are slimy. I know they are a pay to play. I know that it is disgusting if you pay for Yelp. That it's totally different and their word is gospel to me. Still, I know it's wrong. And every time I see it's good on Yelp, I'm like, well, it must be good. If, if only we had somebody on the podcast, whose grandpa was Bob Yelp and started Yelp, that would be a good time to man.

[42:00]I wish we knew somebody. Let me ask you guys, are we going to come up with a new Vegas bit this year? Wait, we know Bob Yelps grandkid. Yeah. Yeah. Russ. That's how Russ reviews a casino. He knows. He said he's going to tell his grandpa. I heard he's going to have a few more animals next time we go back. Yeah. I forgot. Yeah. I forgot. That's it. Yeah. Last week, last year we had that. You're a good dealer. You're a good dealer. You know, my, my, my grandpa, Bob Yelp. I'm going to put, you're going to get a good Yelp review. Yeah. Yeah. I do. I mean, I'm not, I don't want to get like cranky old guy on, on this, but it's like, that's Such a short sighted worldview though. Like, Hey, we built this thing. It's really cool. Fuck these people. We do want to come check it out. Yeah. We don't want them to, we don't want the company, we don't want the store to like make money And have people come support our community. We want to keep it only for us, but we can only go there once a week, but we hope that Everyone goes there once a week and staggers it enough that the thing can keep going. It is a very short sighted, but I quasi get it.

[43:00]I quasi get it. I mean, I get it, man. It makes sense. Like if it was your place, you want it to be the same, but like, it's like, I loved working A half hour to get fish tacos at whatever the place is around the corner from the break Joint. It's like, I love. I'm working on a college campus in the summer because college campuses are awesome when No one's there. It's the same. It's like, I love empty bars, but it does feel like they are trying to yuck other people's Yum. Aren't, are they not? Yeah, I think they are, man. But like all of Spain, right. It's just so sick of the infiltration that they're like walking up where they have like Squirt guns and they're just using squirt guns to squirt people at restaurants, obvious Tourists and stuff. They just, they feel like their way of life is going. It's turned into New York city. I got to say, when you go somewhere where they don't restrict the cruises, it is crazy. Like in Europe, you're walking around and there's just all Americans walking around. It is kind of like a, yeah, a thing, but I don't know. Like I get it. It's what it is in New York too. And it's kind of like, yeah, there's guys asking.

[44:00]No, listen, when the guy is driving the bike with the music, with the car seat in the back, Like, and do they, when they ask me, do I want to ride? Am I totally insulted that they don't think I'm a local? Yes, of course I am. It pisses me off. Okay. Does it make me mad when people are walking slowly through central park when I need to Go to home? Yes, of course. I hate all the tourists. Yeah. You're trying to escape on your bike. I get it. Russell rolling right there. I've kind of had to decide which way I want to go with this. I'm going to tell you, let's always go left. Probably the worst advice I've given. You guys want to hear about the worst advice I've given? I don't know. Let's move on. Yes, of course we do. The worst advice. I, I, I, didn't get permission to tell this story. I would just like to make that clear. There you go. The upstairs roommate, had a, a doctor thing and an insurance Thing. So the doctor had to get some information to the insurance company that, the upstairs

[45:00]Roommate was working with and it was becoming like a real pain in the ass. They weren't doing what they said they were going to do when they said it would take a Couple of days. It was taking three, four weeks. She was messaging me. She was messaging them and calling, trying to get this, information sent over to The insurance company and it wasn't happening. So at one point what, Russell, I've had about enough of these insurance companies Set up. I just want to say that right now. So, she was messaging them and they essentially said, Hey, you don't need to call. Just message messages. Fine. It's interesting. You don't need to call us on this over and over. And her response was, well, essentially, well, when I just messaged you're going to Send me a text saying, Hey, you guys, three weeks ago, you didn't do anything about it. So, she sent me a few texts and I, she was looking, I think, for support and didn't Really know what to do anymore. You know, she said, they're not, they're requesting. I don't call them anymore. What the fuck? I don't know what to do. And Russell, can I ask you this? Yes. When you get these texts with a lot of ideas in a row, are they coming in as one long text

[46:00]That's typed out or are you getting anywhere from 15 to 25 texts all within the span of About a minute? Russell, what would you say is happening? I'd say, I'd say six texts in a couple minutes. Yeah, that's a short, it's a short texture. I'm living with a short texture currently, and when they are texting you, it is wild Because they are coming in hot. There's a lot of texts coming in. Aaron, you got a short texture at home. No, I'm probably more, yeah, I think longer. Maybe, yeah, I think I might do shorter texts. I might be more likely to break things into multiple texts than it is, but Man, what about you? What kind of texts are you getting at home? I don't know how she does it. But Sarah has like, she's probably should do some sort of like master's class on Communication. Like this is something, here's a text message that gets everything across and It's as long, but as short as it absolutely needs to be, right? Sarah's the, I'm cutting into your time here, Russell, but Sarah's the,

[47:00]Room mom for Eddie's class now. And so that always has sent out like a weekly or monthly email. And I'm like, how the heck did you come up with this template? It's always the, here's the things that is in there. In this email, like, so mouth breathers like me, it's the top three or four things. Here's what you need to know. If you need to know more about those, go down below, but at least you get The three. I'm like, how she goes, I'm pretty good at this. I said, yeah, you are clearly. So it's a skill. Yeah. It's a skill. Russell. Sorry. I rewrote you there. She messaged me, they requested, I don't call them about this anymore. I sent them this three weeks ago and they ignored it until I started calling. What the fuck? What do I do? That's the text. So immediately I'm, I'm sitting back. Cause a lot of times people don't want advice, right? Like they just want to be heard. They want some empathy, whatever. So I just sat on this one for a while. I didn't respond for a while. Cause I didn't want to say the wrong thing or anything, but eventually I Figured she wanted to hear that these guys were being idiots.

[48:00]So I needed to support that they were being dumb shits. Right. So here's my response. Empty headed fucks. You're doing what you can. It's ridiculous to wait that long. I suppose you can. Give them a day or two and message them again. Maybe respond in a nice way. And I say, quote, thanks for the heads up on the letter. If you could let me know what it's sent out, I'd appreciate it. You know, just try to be you get more with a sugar than Whatever the other honey than whatever. So I essentially say, but in the text, I call them empty headed fucks. And then I suggest like a nice text. Yep. So I don't hear anything for a while. I get a call about 10 minutes later. Oh no. Hey Russell. I'm going to hit the red button on that one. Thank you very much. Everybody needs to chill out a little bit. The call was that the upstairs roommate actually took my advice and appreciated it, But copied and pasted my text. Oh, no message.

[49:00]Calling them an empty headed. Oh, oh my God. Oh my God. Russell. This is like, I just got M night. Shyamalan by your story. Your story had a twist that killed me. That's unbelievable. Russell. She cop. What? Oh, he's empty headed fucks. Hey, by the way, can you give me that stuff? I'd really appreciate it. By the way, I need you to. Hey, we got to, Hey that person we've been trying to help like we do. We're an insurance company. We love helping people. It's one of our favorite things to do. Yeah. Hey, I just got a message from him. Let's open it. Let's open it up and see how we're going to react to this message. God, you empty headed fucks. Can you please send me my stuff? Thank you so much. I really appreciate it. Hey, if you have time, can you pick up another box of Magnum condoms? We've been going through condoms like crazy. What is she copying? She's copying all these messages.

[50:00]She copied the whole thing. So it said she, did she realize she was like, oh man, I messed Up. She copied, put it in there. And I don't know if you didn't, if it goes right when you put something in there, if You hit something. I can't send or whatever, but was trying to delete it. Can't delete it. I get a call. I pick up the phone. She says, I copied and pasted your message. I just called him empty headed fucks by accident. What do I do? At that point, she's got to go to the bus. She's got to throw it. She's got to throw you under the bus and say my apologies. That's exactly what I said. I said immediately right now, you need to say I accidentally copied and pasted something From my boyfriend. And here's what I said. I said, he was talking about the insurance company. Not you guys. He's frustrated with the insurance company, not the doctor's office. I apologize profusely. I say, you need to send that now. Like that has to go out within 30 seconds, Russell. That's so much better than my solution. And this is, I swear to God, this is true. I was, let's not say anything and hope they don't read stuff that close in front of that.

[51:00]Even when I say it now, it's such a dumb idea. Your idea was so much better. Russell, if I make mistakes, can I call you? Are you like a fixer? Can I call you if I make a mistake? Russell, I've made a terrible mistake. Rob, I'm just saying we have been calling me the manager recently that I've, I've been Doing a good job managing in the house. So Russell, I thought it, I thought the glory hole went one way, Russell, I have a problem But so they did eventually respond and they didn't say anything about it. They said we're working, I get the info set out or whatever, but I thought You guys would appreciate, I was just trying to provide, moral support by calling People empty headed fucks. So I probably should never do that again. I guess now when I said anything in text, I pretty much am putting in capital Letters, do not copy and paste this. You know what would have saved you, Russell? If you were a short texter, if you would have sent two different messages, one that said These guys are empty headed fucks and one that says this whole day would have

[52:00]Been saved. Okay. We need to be short texters because people are always copying and pasting or texting And sending that to our insurance companies. That's totally normal. Speaking of empty headed fucks, Rob, how's Jenny's husband doing? So remember when I said that the fact that we have, I guess here's a question. Do you think if you have a $3,000 squat rack in your living room, okay. And remember your apartment. You don't even need to put a dollar amount. If you have a squat rack in your living room is the question. You are a world champion. And you are in 1100 square foot apartment. Okay. Would you say as a normal person who lives in a normal society, would you say that's A good number of squat racks to have in your living room or would you say, no, we should Add one more $5,000 squat rack to this living room. Okay.

[53:00]Now what would you guys say? It feels like one's a good number of squat racks, right? It's more than I have. Yeah. Well, it turns out one is a good number because two is now filling up my fucking living room Because I said she could get this squat rack. And I said, the one thing I need from you, the one thing I need is I need you to get rid Of this squat rack and I don't want to carry it because I know exactly what's going to Fucking happen. I'm going to be scaring down these pieces of metal. I'm going to be carrying this whole thing for some, like she's going to sell to some 80 pound woman. I'm going to be loading it up and like her pickup truck and she can't carry a thing. It's a disaster. Hey, the world champion weightlifter won't count won't carry any weight around. Yeah. Right. Those muscles aren't for carrying stuff. Like your whole utility is for carrying stuff. Your whole utility in life is to be able to carry that shit. Rob wait until you hear how this shit got delivered. Okay. If she bought this thing, it's now in our living room. It's taking up all the space. Of course, nobody's going to come pick it up. It's the fucking holiday. So we're going to spend the holidays in an apartment with a giant tree. I Russell, this tree is so big and it's, and this double squat rack.

[54:00]So it gets delivered, right? She said, oh, it's coming Wednesday. I was like, what the fuck? It's coming so soon. It gets dropped off at our apartment on the sidewalk. It's just this big, huge cube. It's like probably the size of like a refrigerator got a text from the driver said, Hey, we dropped It off. She goes down and looks at it. It's on the sidewalk. She looks at that text, the driver back. I am not accepting this. If it's just on the sidewalk, you need to come back and bring it up to my apartment And unpack it. Oh, wow. The driver says, okay, we're turning around, literally comes back, gets the package, takes It upstairs, unpacks it. And when they're done. Jenny says, now you need to take all the trash out. And the guy's like, so she tried to push it a little too far. The guy did not take all the trash out. I had to do that myself. Wow. And then she says, would you like to watch the video of an eight minute swim race? It's so crazy. So then she got it up.

[55:00]And then when I was at work, she put the whole rack together, move the other rack, put the Rack together and had a workout on it. Before I got home, folks, this is my life. I'm now a guy that's got two. What are you? What do you tip some people that, bring a squat rack up top for you? Cause she actually tipped him when he delivered it and then he didn't bring it upstairs and She wrote back. The tip was for you bringing it upstairs. What are you doing? And he's like, oh, okay. I'll turn around and do it. I mean, just a crazy, I think probably what? 40 bucks. What are you tipping? Somebody who's bringing something like that. A hundred bucks, but I'm not asking somebody to do that. Yeah. Now he got me thinking she probably tipped him like 200 bucks. Why else would the guy turn around and come back? Fuckin broke. She over tipped this guy. Oh no. Well how much would it take for you to turn around and move that big ass thing Up some stairs? Not less than a hundred dollars, right? I'm in New York city and I'm driving a moving truck while easily turn this thing around And go back to this apartment, find a place to park and go and help this obviously not

[56:00]Crazy person install a second bench into their apartment. I'm definitely not going to get my head cut off and she's going to wear my skin as a coach. I mean, this is crazy. All right. Let's get, talk about the album. You only need, I would say at most one squat rack in your house. You don't need any squat racks in your living room. Yeah, I know. I wouldn't think in your living room is really entirely what Russell, I used to be Like you. I used to think you did need a giant squat rack and 700 pounds of weight right next to Your couch in your living room. I was wrong though. I mean, I know we don't need to get into this now, but do you also belong to a gym? Correct? Yeah, of course. Yeah. So you've got, and how many days a week can you legitimately squat or bench now more than Two, right? Well, I benched four days a week now. Oh, wow. And I squat. Well, I do need to know more about this. An accessory day. Yeah. You benched four days a week? Yeah. Yeah. My shoulders fucking hurt real bad. Okay.

[57:00]Is that what you wanted me to say? My shoulders hurt bad. Is your wife still coaching you? Is this her post? Oh yeah. She's fucking coaching me. Even after my back injury. Hey, by the way, which I got from fucking. Wow. That's awesome. I want to remind you. I mean, can you imagine if Christian McCaffrey's ankle was hurt because he was fucking his Coach too hard? That's a crazy injury. Just take a player. He's fucking his coach. Now he's injured. That's crazy. That would be. And then Shanahan still has to coach after that. Yeah. Hey, this week's ESPN non top 10, number one, Christian McCaffrey, fuck Shanahan. Now he can't play. So we're, we're still Russell's asking a very poignant question. Yes. Yes. Please. Can I just say this? Dante Culpepper fucks Dennis Green. There. That's the perfect joke. Thank you. Getting his role on. I love your small hands. All right. Oh, okay.

[58:00]Hold on. Hold on. Go ahead. Russell. Sorry. Russell. Rob, have you sold this? The other rack. Somebody has agreed to pick it up for $15,000. What? Yeah. For $1,500, which I was shocked When Jenny said the price was that high. I thought for sure She was going to sell it for like four magic Beans. You know what I mean? Anytime She sells something, she sells it for nothing And then somehow we also have to load the truck. It's insane to me, but we Got $1,500 because, okay, here was the other Option. I'm going to ship this rack Back to Minnesota for the cabin. So Jenny said, Oh, I'll simply go to the UPS store And talk to them. I was like, Oh, this is not going to fucking work either. There's no way that they're going to say, oh, yes, you want to Ship, oh, are you shipping a Squat rack? Oh, of course. We get that all the time. No, don't Bother explaining it to us. I said to Jenny, I said, well, maybe you should take a picture and show Them how big it is. And she's like, Oh, I'll just show them a picture from the internet. I was like, No scale. Doesn't make any sense. You got to put a peanut in there

[59:00]Or whatever. Russell, do you Want to buy a squat rack? You know what? I know Somebody who's about, Russell, I know Somebody I bet who would love a squat rack. Oh, I'm Sorry. I just copied and pasted A message. I sent it over To you. Oh, Rob, I apologize. That's what the upstairs Roommate thought about your life decisions And having the squat rack in the living room. This is Not what I thought. Listen, I'm just Glad I got that text message too. So I know you're not Texting the fuck you. I won't do what you tell me text Chain, which is behind my back, which makes me sick. Makes me sick that You guys are texting me behind my back. Don't think I didn't notice That and I haven't been thinking about it this way. You know what? I actually, I called someone behind Your guys back last night too. Really? I had a drunken phone call To my friend Aaron last night. We had a nice Chat. Really? I was walking home. Russell, the one thing I did not Reveal during that chat was that While I was talking to Russell, he was jacking It. I was walking home And I was wearing a headlamp. Oh,

[1:00:00]Okay. I'm glad you didn't tell me. Put it up. Take it up, Rob. Pop, I've got The black lung for money. It's so much gold. Wallace got a new headlamp for Christmas And Anna was like, I don't want you walking around the neighborhood In the dark without a flashlight or a headlamp. Please wear the headlamp. So I had, it's actually A very nice headlamp. I should have Put it on for the podcast tonight. Your wife tells you not to walk around in the Dark. What you do? You know what I mean? Can you imagine? Just imagine. I'm picturing my wife saying, hey, I really don't want you to walk around in the dark. I'm worried about you. That would never Happen. She would never be worried about me Outside. What's going on, Aaron, where she's worried about you In the dark? It's like things can happen At night, right? She just cares About me, I think. Aaron lives in... Oh, we don't want to say where you live, But... Yeah, things can happen Out here. Not generally in

[1:01:00]My neighborhood. I don't want anyone to worry, but... Yeah, and I don't want to Say what I've been thinking about saying. Okay, and I'll Say it if you guys ask, but I don't want to. I just need one person To ask me to say it. Please, anyway. You could wear... This is just going to be one big bleep after this. You could wear that... If you wore that light into bed And then went under the covers and you're like, oh, I'm a half-gynecologist, Half-miner. A mine-ecologist? You could say, oh, It's time for your gynecologist thing. You click on the light. Boom. Damn canary in a Coal mine down there. That answers the caller's Question about how to initiate oral sex. That's it. There you go. And I don't want to say this next part. No. I don't want to say it. I think that caller was From two weeks ago, Aaron. I couldn't remember. No. If Aaron said, I'm a mine-ecologist, I'm a mine-ecologist. And then she said, why did you Say it twice? I don't want to say that. It makes me so mad.

[1:02:00]That's where my brain would go. But I did have a very nice chat With Russell last night. I appreciate you calling, Russell. Now, Russell, This actually, a text chain behind my back? Disgusting. Filthy. Drunk calling Aaron behind my back? Acceptable. Fine. Love it, actually. Okay. I think it's great. How did you open this conversation? What did you guys Talk about? We talked a little bit about Basketball, I think, for a little bit. I asked Aaron Some other stuff, how life was going And everything and how certain events had gone Recently. But I was checking in on him, but I was Also, I needed To talk to a friend. And actually, the Upstairs roommate was telling me earlier last night, She said, yesterday Was the most emotional she's Seen me. What? And the reason was, we were Sitting at the Timberwolves game and they were losing So bad. And afterwards, I was telling her that I like the Timberwolves so much And I want them to be good so bad and it makes

[1:03:00]Me sad when they don't play hard And it makes me not want to watch Them. And she said, I was Emotional about the Timberwolves and I Think I needed to talk to a buddy About basketball. Man, I'm Glad I was awake. I'm glad I could be here To field that call. Russell, You're going to be miserable The rest of your life. You realize that, Right? But you just got to talk it through Sometimes. It's all right. You just got to talk it through Once in a while. Then I went back and I started Watching old Kevin Garnett stuff and she said It was the happiest she's seen me play in the World. Oh, Russell. I get it. Well, it's good To hear that Russell's getting late again, though. I do that And it does make me happy Watching those KG clips. You know what that's priming up for. The upstairs roommate is out of control With basketball stuff. I know I've been updating you Guys. This week she was sending me her All-star votes and explaining why she Was voting for each player on the all-star. She changed her vote against Nas Reid because he's not pulling his weight on The team. She voted against Voted for him last week and then had to wait

[1:04:00]Five days to vote again. She's not even doing Homer votes. She's like doing Homer votes, but then she Voted against a couple of wolves who have not Earned it. That's crazy. I got To say I shouldn't say. Oh my God, guys. I should not say what I'm about to say. No, I can't Do it. Okay, it's hot. It's hot when somebody you're with is sending In all-star votes and talking To you about them. That's hot As hell. You Think Russell's Upstairs roommate's hot? No. Is that what you said? I think a woman who is sending in all-star Votes and talking to me about it, That is hot. And that woman. I didn't Want to say that. Between this and Rob asking for everyone's Girlfriend slash Spouse's feet pictures the other day, We need to reel it in, right? Yeah, and nobody Sent them. Nobody sent them. I sent A picture of my wife's feet. True play. On spec. Nobody asked for it.

[1:05:00]I sent it out. Did not get any. And I said, Hey, let's just trade pictures of her wife's feet. It'll be really funny. Nobody. And you know what? It's not even that. Nobody Even texted back a joke. The text Chain shut down. It was one of those like Hit the red button text chain shuts down Text. I was like, oof. You didn't even get an emphasize From anyone. That's a question Mark. A question mark from Dave. It's not too much for a question mark from Dave. Please, Dave. Where were you? Like I said about 10 minutes ago, Now it's time to talk about the album. Nice. So we are talking about What are we talking about? Oh, yeah. Everybody who showed up who were big rage. It's a music podcast. Welcome. This is a music podcast. This is their debut album. It's based Off a cassette tape demo that They made. Of course, Rage Against the Machine Super famous for being like a super Super political band left wing In 1991. Tom Morello's band Lockup breaks up the Drummer and encourages Tim Comerford who ends up playing bass

[1:06:00]Into the band. Comerford also count or got Brad Wilk who I maybe Brad Wilk Was the bass player, but Brad Wilk had tied Out for tried out for Morello's band before And it also tried out for a little band Named Pearl Jam and didn't get into it. And so basically these Guys get together. They blend together Rap and Like rock, which Back then in 1992 Totally Unheard of. Now you think Kid Rock, you think of all this new Metal stuff like it's very common Back then. Incredible to hear For the first time. And of course, I think the Craziest thing about this album is the Cover, right? When you see the cover Of this album of the Buddhist monk doing Self-immolation, you just realize Like you're this is going to be Some shit. You're going to hear some shit coming through Your speakers right now. These guys are not Fucking around and they never Ever wink. They don't ever Think it. They don't ever take themselves not Seriously. They're always directly On message. It's an incredibly Intense album and it's such an intense album

[1:07:00]That they put in the liner notes. No samples, keyboards or synthesizers. Are used in the making of this record Like that's badass Where they're like what? Even synthesizers. We don't even fucking think it's Like they're proud of that. It's crazy. So let's get into What's your guys experience with rage against The machine? I mean, for me, didn't hear Until I got into football locker rooms, scared The shit out of me. What about you guys? I definitely had A couple of the albums in high school And listen to them And I I don't know. They weren't a big. I think they came around a little bit by The time I was like Really wanting to like go see him in concert And stuff. It was a little scary to think About going to concert with them, but They are almost broken up At that point. And then obviously in the Early 2000s, they were completely broken up Or at least not playing together until A couple one off shows. And then I believe it was COVID year There was out touring again and

[1:08:00]Nick for me diet or Nick from Minneapolis And I were supposed to go to the concert. First One gets delayed. Second One gets delayed. And then I think it was Out of town for certain. They just then they Never came. So I've never seen him live. It's on the it's on the list of the One or two bands that I need to see Live. According to Wikipedia Since then, they have disbanded Once again. Yeah, I know. I don't know what that means. They're not like living Together or what, but you guys Russell Aaron, any experience with rage? I mean, just the MTV stuff. And Yeah, like they were intense. They were like, Yeah, when they're when they came on the speaker, It was you paid attention. Bomb track these riffs are all done by the bassist tim comford and it's about i'm going To tell you what these songs are about because i think it's kind of fun it's about the peruvian Maoist revolutionary organizer sandero luminoso i mean they did their reading right Big time you know what's crazy about this album every single song is like The guitar and the bass are just playing exactly the same notes

[1:09:00]And then the guy comes in and says but they're always playing the same notes there's no like It's crazy it's pretty strong opener you know what you're getting right off the bat right Absolutely and the great thing about this album is you can do this say anytime you're listening To it and it fits yeah and of course then tom morello is teaching Says the student, excuse me, I need to stop this lesson right now, Goes and records the riff, goes back and finishes the lesson. Can you imagine if you were getting a lesson and halfway through you heard him write killing In the name of right in front of you, that would be fucking mind blowing. Of course, I would still be like, if you just heard him writing it,

[1:10:00]If you would probably be terrified. Oh, yeah. If you listen to where there's a song, it's like pretty revolutionary, but it's, It's surprising to me to look back and he said this almost from 1991. Yeah. I mean, this is not that far removed from iced tea, right? And this would Have been a big an extension of what I see was doing with cop killer and would have been A big political deal. And I think of this as later in the nineties. I didn't realize it was 1991. I mean, this song already is about the Rodney Kingston. Like it's, It's like, what a perfectly encapsulated album. Take the power back. Now this little anti teacher kind of like does anti teacher stuff. You know what? And you can forget a lesson plans sometimes and that's fine. That happens. Last room is the last place to find the truth, Rob. How do you feel about that? Like he is kind of coming down like you're just, you're brooding

[1:11:00]People's hopes and dreams and you're teaching as a scam. Anybody can do it. Listen, I am coming up with the material of what to teach. I then teach the material. I then write a test to assess how the kids learned my teaching. I then grade that test to see how Good I am at teaching. It's a scam. It's a total scam. And your job and how you get paid is based on How your teaching was and how the students. No, no, literally I can show a movie for half The time and I will get paid the same. It's crazy. Now I am the best and I tell the Kids that every first day of class, I say, I'm the best teacher here. That's the way it is. If you don't believe me, go ask your older brother and they get it. And I'll tell you what, They think I am because I am, you could imagine being in top by me. Russell, You remember when I said there was naked people in that chloroplast movie and the kids all believed It? You talked about the naked people. I was reading it like some fun facts about Rage Against the Machine. They were talking about that Lollapalooza where they showed

[1:12:00]Up naked on stage. They had duct tape on their mouths and then I think they Were just standing there naked with duct tape. So guys, let's all get naked. I got my duct tape Here. Everyone put it on. Let's go for it. Oh yeah. Rob's in. Rob's ready. Don't put the duct tape on your chest there. It's going to be brutal. Oh, I'm so turned down. Oh my God. I put it in my eyes too. So it's like I'm on a Dark date. I can't see anything. Oh, this is so great. Russell, this is a great idea. Let me turn my video back on. Now, speaking of great ideas, this is going to come out after Christmas so I can say it. I was picking up some holiday gifts for the upstairs roommate From that website Fever Up. One of the things I got was Fever Up is back. Music in the dark, We're going to see Queen Candlelight by Queen. Queen by Candlelight. So Delightful. And then I also got one which is some sort of black light neon painting in the dark

[1:13:00]Events, which I thought would be fun too. Russell, be careful. You are going on a black Light date. Oh, I know. Make sure. I'm going to buy some new jeans or something. There's no Come on your pants, Russell. You have to make sure. I do not even want to tell you what Happened to me in college. The long story. No, it's not that long. Short story. Sure. It's a short story. I didn't come on my pants. I mean, that's got to be the idea. Part of the reason I told, I was going to tell you, Rob, you cannot pull this up on your Computer. Oh yeah. I'm going to, I'm, I'm, when I'm jerking off in college, I'm going to pull my pants all the way down. Oh, what if my roommate comes back in? That's why I got come on my pants. Oh, I'm getting naked and jerking off in college. Oh, who am I? Rockefeller? I'm in a room by myself. Get out of here. I thought you had one of those self locking doors. Yeah.

[1:14:00]Why are you sitting at a computer with a monitor turned off? The other thing that was actually your internet history, say f u q dot com. This is boobs. Well, speaking of internet history, the reason I bring this up, I've Talked to you guys before about how fever up they've got all these cool events. Like I was yesterday, I think Brian from Woodbury has taken me up and done one of those events. I'll just reiterate for people that the website is fever up.com and not fever.com. If you go to Fever.com, you're going to get something you did not want. Fever.com. Oh, typed in feces first. That link was purple, feces.com. Fever.com. So let's look at this. So Russell has not warned me. I am on the family computer. I'm not in a cognitive mode. And I've gone to fever.com. Now, unfortunately, fever.com automatically forwards to Own sex.com, which I have to admit is a strange website. You know what I mean? Like,

[1:15:00]If you're looking for phone sex, do you really think that I guess I'm going to go to phone Sex.com? It's like a compilation, a tile of all those things that Barry from Brinsley used To collect in Vegas and the people that would slap them. Well, let's, can I just read Some of these? Can I read some of these numbers to you? No, no, no. If you read the one in the middle, I'll be done. Why don't you read the one in the middle? No, no, no. Okay, no. That's not really, okay. Cause I thought you were talking about, Oh, I can't say that one. Net sex. That's not that good. You know what I mean? Like net sex? Hey, how about gross sex? I'm more of a kind of a business guy. Okay, gross sex. So I Didn't mean to make that joke, but I did. So this has taken me to a phone sex. So this Is fever.com. Now, Russell, how did you find this out? Did you go on? Did you, Did somebody catch you on the site and you had to say, I was going to feverup.com? In my mind, I was going to like do, how to do some holiday shopping, see what's, What's new, like for the shows that we some of those plays or musical events. And

[1:16:00]I was like, in my head, I was like, oh, it's fever.com. I typed in fever.com and immediately Realized, no, it is not fever.com. You pick up your phone and delete history as quick as possible. You die. Oh, and then she's going to come home and see the empty history. Russell, That's just as bad because now it's in her imagination what you were looking at. And if you say you were looking at phone sex.com, she's not going to believe you, Russell. Russell, if you just say, oh, sweetie, I was just looking at phone sex.com. Nobody's going to buy that. You would never believe that you were trying to go to fever up and you ended up at phone Sex either. It's not a logical, it's not a logical change. What do you think is the most Famous porn site? I think one of the most famous ones of all time is probably WhiteHouse.com, right? Because WhiteHouse.com was the one that if you were in high school and if You knew that WhiteHouse.com, WhiteHouse.com is one of the oldest porn sites. Oh, it's a Protest. This is disgusting that WhiteHouse.com is not a porn site anymore. I got to check This out. What a disgusting act. It is now a White House election betting website.

[1:17:00]This is the saddest thing I've seen. This is like my childhood crumbling before my eyes. Okay, I'm sorry, guys. What were you talking about? I think we're like the four age Against the machine. All right. This is a rough one. Bullet in the head. I wonder why. Bullet in the head. We're all looking for the guy who did this. This is how the band doesn't like the media. I don't know what to tell you. I know we did the repeated stuff jokes in the beginning. This all is fantastic. There is part of me. Some of the repetition of the, It's the bullet in the head. Some of the repetition of the rough, not rough lights. I don't even know how to describe it, but it can be creating. It's angry. It's trying to listen to. It's not meant to be enjoyable, right? It's, I know. Yeah, I know. Is this, I'm going to play again ever, probably. I'm never going to be like, Oh, I'm going to put on some rage, Is this not an album for 40 year old guys?

[1:18:00]Is this an album for like 19 year old, 16 year old guy? Like somebody where you can really feel badass listening to it. Not people who are like making meals for their kids. Am I wrong about that? No, I think you're, I guess I'd put it on in the gym, right? But otherwise no. Ah boy. It just, it gets a little grating. I was thinking about this, like Albums, like if you owned all 500 albums and you were to put Something on a record player, I can't imagine throwing this on a record player. No, there's some, there's some, They're sitting and listening to it. Yeah. Yeah. Like if you're, you go to the weight room, you're in, You're in Rob's living room and using the selected squat rack. I think this is perfect for it. Hey, which squat rack are you using? Okay. I'm going to use this other one that's jammed in by the window, ruining my view. That's because he steals Nash and Young's squat rack. This is the rage one. Yeah. I remember years ago where you wouldn't let us put the Christmas tree over there Because you said it ruined your view. And now I'm looking out at the second Squat rack we have. And that's not actually a big deal. Okay. That's all right. Know your enemy. This is Maynard James Kenna from Tool.

[1:19:00]Got people that love Tool. Love Tool. Wait, that's fascinating because I did think a lot of this album made me think of Tool And these other bands, like they were much more rock adjacent than I realized. I thought of them as more hip hop adjacent. Oh, Tool or Rage. Rage. Yeah. Yeah. Well what happened when the band broke up, right? They became audio slave Chris Cornell. Oh, okay, right. Straight up rock and roll band. So everything outside of Zach was a lot more Rock and roll than the hip hop punk snipes. Wake up. It's an album from 92, but I think everybody knows this from The Matrix. The end of The Matrix is what plays. I saw that and was thinking like, That's about as good of a closing song to a movie ever, right? Yes. I mean, it totally, it gets you hyped. Like you left that theater. When I saw The Matrix, I was like, this fucking blew my mind. I was like eight,

[1:20:00]Nineteen in the theater. You're seeing this shit. You're just like, holy shit. This is the greatest thing I've ever seen. And then you see Matrix three in the theater and you think to yourself, What the fuck? What's going on with this? This is just like lost. Is that this episode? Fistful of steel. So that's the, that's the tool. That's the tool. And Aaron, you might also recognize these riffs from other shows that you're very, We checked The Matrix, but I think the one you guys are most familiar with is Beck Mongolian Chop Squad. As you guys know, All Beck fans know that Chiba, the lead vocalist of Beck Mongolian Chop Squad, Is actually based on Zach De La Rocha from Rage Against the Machine. Check out this song. Oh, of course. What the fuck? This...

[1:21:00]Russell, have you watched an episode of Mongolian Chop Squad yet? Not a whole episode, no. I've watched Clips. This is when it comes to being inspired by Rage Against the Machine in Japanese anime, Who did it better? Beck Mongolian Chop Squad did better. Yes. Russell, you are the man. That's a pull. That's impressive. You're the guy I called. That was crazy. Township Rebellion. This is officially where I just wrote, I get worn out by this point. I do, but then though, it's got a different vibe. Yeah. It's faster, right? And then I feel like these two tracks, the last two tracks are really close together, But there's just like a brief moment of silence between them that's like a, That's like the stunning moment on the album to me. And then this, yeah. I mean, this is a closer, but it's a lot like the rest of the album too.

[1:22:00]All right. That is it for Rage Against the Machine. Guys, we didn't really Rage against the machine there very much. I don't know. Like I what, You know what I rage against the machine? I'm probably going to edit this out, but Is when I found out that the NFL, you empty-headed fuck, Why don't you stop telling us about your squat racks? Rage. Yeah. Hey, Rob, fuck you. I won't do what you tell me. Yeah. Oh, man. Let it be. Yeah. Leave your pants on. Don't show us your hog, Aaron. Check that text again. What? Say what you said. Fuck you. I won't do what you tell me. Yeah. Don't show me your hog. Aaron, it's just like people's reviews of the show. It's a double negative. Listen. Got it. It's like opposite day. We do not care about the music. Okay. That's not what our point is here. Okay. We're not

[1:23:00]Doing this because Russ also gave us bad advice and said, Hey, I think we should start a podcast, Rob. That's a good idea. I mean, Russell, if you could go back in time now, And you know me now, like you didn't know me before, and I got onto the boat and I talked to you for An hour about starting the podcast, would you realize now that I don't have a lot of good ideas? You know what I mean? Like most of my ideas are not well thought out. Do you realize that now? Would you still give me the advice that yes, we should start the Podcast? I think Russell's got great advice for you. He only gives good advice. Only gives Good advice. Even his bad advice is good advice. See? Other people got to understand, I'm a pretty good, I'm a pretty good micromanager. Yeah. Right, guys. Right. Yeah. Right. That's what my wife says, right? But you know, I talked about my announcing oral sex And the voicemail. We heard a voicemail earlier where they were begging for more

[1:24:00]Oral sex content. That was three weeks ago, I think. Oh, by the way, Aaron, You can tell us now. What was the gift you got? This is for Joe. Oh, you can't do this. Yeah. What's the gift? You can't play this. No, this is four weeks from now. Oh, I got a new Backpack, but I didn't get her a fancy Russell backpack. Wow. It's a much more functional Backpack, but I did. It's an upgrade over her current backpack in a little bit. Guess what? Great gift, I think. It's a great gift. It's what she wanted. And you can say to her, hey, you can load it with weights and walk around too. I've heard a lot of cool people are doing that. Actually, for her birthday, I got her a weighted vest for ladies. No, you didn't. Ladies. I mean, she's got me one. She keeps saying she might like it. So I got her the ladies one. It looks way better than mine. Okay. Is it like a Wonder Woman suit? Yeah. No. You don't need to give me, I don't need any details. I don't. And I'm begging you, don't give me details, Aaron. Okay. You got to stop with all the details that you're giving us.

[1:25:00]But could you just tell me when you and your wife are wearing the weighted suits and make love? I don't want to know any details. I don't want to hear about the clanking sounds. I don't want to hear about positions. What positions would be best? You got to figure, you just, you need a, like a seeker word, right? Like picket fence or something. Okay. Yeah. So when he sexes you something. So if I get a drunk phone call from Aaron and he just says picket fence, I'm going to know that him and his wife made a sweet love wearing the weighted vest. Yeah. I can't wait for that phone call, Rob. Probably girl on top would be the best. I think so. Yeah. I don't want to say what we're about to say, Aaron, but I will. I do think it's good. So I will say it if you ask me to. I think we got nine minutes to land this fling. We all need to hear it, yeah. Put everything in in nine minutes. You would have to be careful you're 69 and if you're both wearing weighted vest,

[1:26:00]You'd have to be careful. It would be like being in an avalanche. Look out. You could get squashed. I'm so glad you said that. Give you a warning. You're refusing to acknowledge it. This is our latest episode ever. Okay. My bad. Here we go. Is this rolling well tone? That means it's perfect at 221. Is this a rolling bone? It should have been opposite. Okay. It should have been higher up at 122. Let's read it backwards. Okay. And just like backwards, That's lower on the list earlier in the podcast. No big deal. Or is this a rolling groan? Okay. Like a lot of these bits that I've been trying to pull off on this podcast. Okay. That would be a rolling groan. Oh, good. Now I got what I meant to. I've got somebody's sound effects for all of you. I love it. Now, what do you think rolling well toned rolling bone? No, don't do anymore, man. Oh, I would hate that. Aaron, what do you think rolling well toned rolling bone or rolling groan? Rage against machine.

[1:27:00]I don't know. I mean, I hate to do two rolling groans in a row, but I just, I don't know if this Belongs this high for me. I think it's fucking rocks. I'm glad to hear some stuff that really rocks that we haven't heard for a while, But I don't know if it's like, but I'm not sure what's coming next, But I think I might have to say it's rolling groan. Wow. That makes my text I said earlier today, Saying we're listening to two great albums look not great. So thanks, Aaron. You should have your opinion. I like it. No, I can't. I'm powered. I want to have your opinion. I just agree with you. Matt, what do you think rolling well toned rolling bone or rolling groan? I always have always loved the music. You know, Zach De La Roca's politics, like I just said, I was probably too young to completely understand it and where he came from and where the, The rage and rage against the machine came from. And so I think that always kept me at just a little bit of a distance growing up In the middle of the cornfields up here as a white kid who everything was going okay for,

[1:28:00]If that makes sense. And so I think that the band is hugely influential. I think we've had way too many other bands that are just on this list because they're good at Music or whatever and had some sort of influence on where their music was going. You know, I think these guys kind of started the move towards the rap metal A little bit of a, some politics in it for the white folks he was, Zach was good buddies with like public enemy and Craig Mack and some of these Other guys that were doing some of these more political type albums and stuff. And so I Think they absolutely deserve to be up here. Again, it's hard to listen to, right? Like some of the Stuff it's, it's not like you're just going to be baking cookies on a Saturday morning and putting On rage. So that's half the problem with some of these albums. It's like,

[1:29:00]You want to go back and listen to some of them again, and when are you going to listen to Them? And so it's kind of hard. Again, audio slave Chris Cornell singing is Wonderful. So I would listen to a ton of audio slave before I'd come back to this album. Now, The one after this has like Bulls on Parade and stuff like that from rage. And so that They've got some great songs mixed in with their albums. And so I, I'm going to say it's rolling Well toned right here at two 21. Listen, maybe we should get Russell's tape. Russell, What do you think rolling well toned rolling bone or rolling grown? I'm going to say it's Rolling boned. Like Matt said, I don't want to come back and listen to this over and over, But the album has a time and place. And if you're looking for this type of music, It's as good as it gets with that. Like what else have we listened to that's similar? Maybe Metallica, like from an intensity level, but the sound is totally different. It's unique. They were influential. Like the band name is amazing. Like what's a

[1:30:00]Better hard rock band name and range against the machine. It's a self-titled album. The Album cover is like one of a kind. It's crazy. This is, I think it should probably be higher On the list. It's, it's of a time and it's of a place. If you're Getting ready for a workout or something, you could put this on and it would hit the spot Perfectly. So I'm going to say it's rolling bone. It should be higher on the list, although I have no desire to buy this on vinyl or to play it other than maybe listening to Two minute bits of songs before I track it. It does make you realize how bad of a name Limp biscuit is. You know what I mean? Like, if you're like, who's going to rock harder? Rage against the machine or limp biscuit? But really like this. How about Goo doll? We've talked about that. Listen. Rage against the machine walked So that Ba would a Ba could run. You know what I mean? Like you could not have Ba Would a Ba without Rage against the machine. And you can imagine being Zach LaRouche Sitting there for the first time being like, Oh, let's see what music I've,

[1:31:00]I've inspired. And then it's Kid Rock. Can you imagine a more opposite pairing? Anyway, I mean, I I, do you think it's Kid Rock really? Who this, I don't think I think this is way harder than, I think we're like a Lincoln park. This is way harder than Kid Rock. I think, I just wanted to talk about Ba would a Ba. Guys, I'm not going to lie. Now let's have a chocolate flavored hot dog water. No, it's not gross. It's so gross. Isn't that the name of that song? Yeah. That's the limp biscuit album. Okay. Say it Aaron. What's the full album name? Chocolate Starfish and the hot dog flavor and water. Is that right? Of all the things I've said tonight, that's the grossest I've heard. Unfortunately, you guys are incorrect. This gets a rolling. Oh, I added that into this might be the number one album where the singer I'm going to copy and paste that for the upstairs. Can you give me that again for my copy paste?

[1:32:00]Do not forward one more time. When this guy said, oh, you totally get it. It's the only album where the, oh, makes sense. When my wife hear me singing on a Saturday morning when she's out Getting coffee, I tell her I'm singing along to this album. Next up. Not doing the sad married guy jerk off. That's for sure. Next up, we have a Madonna about, we have a Madonna album about when she was way into cabala. Okay. So you can eat, pray and love with us as we listen to Ray of Light. Oh. I didn't really have a joke. I thought of so many guys named Ray for that joke. We've already done the greatest hits, right? Yeah. Ray of Light just has Ray of Light on it. This is a wild album. It's hard to have heard a greatest hits round and then go back to a normal album. You did it with Bob Marley. We did it with him.

[1:33:00]But the immaculate, what is it? Yeah, immaculate collection. Reception. Yeah. Mac collection. That stopped before this one came out. That was stopped at like 93 or whatever. So it was like the first half of the career kind of thing. Followed so. Guys, we're so smart. 10 seconds left. It's time to say. Oh, I was going to tell you, Aaron, I think I had your bartender at the Phoenix airport. Oh, yeah? Is it this guy? I can't quite, I can't quite see it. Did he guess your drink? He was doing like the, what, yes, he was doing that type of thing. No, that's a different guy though. Not him? No, different guy. Maybe that's, maybe that's the, no. Maybe the training. Yeah, exactly. That's what they do here. Hey who I saw in the background of that photo was a guy helping carry his wife's

[1:34:00]Luggage out of the airport after they both got kicked off a plane. I'm sure we're going to talk about this, but at the beginning of Isn't She Lovely, You hear the baby cry? It turns out that's the actual first, and I normally don't get into this This early before the theme song even, but that's actually the, his baby's first Cry ever after being born. And it turns out that Stevie Wonder actually took that idea of using sound clips And applied it to a lot of his songs. Okay. So Aaron actually emailed me this clip of Sir Duke, and this is his, One of his alternate takes that ended up not being on the album. So tell me what you guys think of this. What is this? This is it. It's one of the alternate takes. This is the first horn. No fart jokes.

[1:35:00]Is this a Lois? Is this the lowest point of our podcast? Yes. I have no idea what's going on. I was planning on putting it on this. That's from a female friend of me about the big bopper the other day. This is going to be way worse, Rob. Just cut right at the music. I think I was planning on trying to do it to the beat, but it's really hard. Rob, get the music. If you want to hear four guys who chat and then they get off track, I've got the perfect podcast for you, Jack. Beck did it better. Yeah, that song was originally called Sir Duke. And that joke is very good.
