[00:00]plus jenny's still awake so i can uh i could be as loud as i want let's hit the music rob
[00:05]hit the music you can't tell me shit this is our new start is it's a cold open with the new song
[00:11]bumblebee red leather yellow leather red leather yellow leather okay
[00:16]in 1920 four friends decided to listen to every one of the greatest 500 albums decided by
[00:24]rolling stone magazine this resulted in a text chain that celebrated the music
[00:27]ex scoria the order and led us to making this podcast i am so distracted by the video
[00:32]i cannot i mean the opening to macgyver is just him setting up bombs and stuff it's crazy
[00:39]uh we are far from experts we promise to do almost no research all opinions are our own
[00:45]unless you disagree please sit back and enjoy back to it better you know i bet there's a few
[00:50]shows where i've seen as many times as macgyver where i have no memory of the theme song like
[00:55]absolutely none uh we are
[00:57]up to album 227 and from 1956
[01:01]all right good enough there uh we have little richard with here's little richard okay named
[01:11]after what he would say when he answered the door wait would you would he he would say that no uh it
[01:17]was released oh actually it was released in britain you don't have there's no penis joke
[01:21]there i you of all people there's no penis joke i'm above that little richard guy
[01:27]i knew you guys were going to make a little richard big dick joke i'm not going to do it
[01:31]okay although this is going to be a dirty episode i can tell you right now just can't it just felt
[01:35]like it was like set up on a softball there for you i know but that's but see that's what you
[01:39]think man softball set up on a tee there we go russell and when some people zig i gas which is
[01:45]oh which is zig backwards no zag backwards i'm gazing okay so get ready for this gas right now
[01:52]okay you ready for this gas little richard here's little richard it was really good
[01:57]at least in britain as airs little richard
[01:59]russell can i do i can tell russell's reading something else russell can i do an alternate
[02:06]reading of that joke you know the problem with starting without aaron is rob if one of us is
[02:11]sitting out which is typically the case for one of us isn't paying attention you're you're down
[02:16]to matt for audible laughs if that's beginning here so oh okay well i'm gonna try let me just say
[02:21]best of luck to you yeah i'm gonna russell i'm gonna try to gas on you again here ready i'll
[02:27]listen to you
[02:27]okay yeah so uh here's the deal i i just told a joke russell about what it was in britain but i
[02:34]have an alternate version of that okay here's little richard in britain it was called airs
[02:40]little richard the right twat oh it tastes to me nuts i think it'd be fun to live in britain i feel
[02:47]like there's i could say the word twat all the time and nobody could get mad at me and make me
[02:51]edit it out of my own podcast what would be the worst part about living there
[02:57]top five you gotta be kissing more people with bad teeth you know what i mean like you just have
[03:03]to get used to kissing people with bad teeth i don't do you think you could do that russell
[03:06]yeah i think you just get used to it right is that something you get used to it's probably
[03:11]like three four weeks of of online dates where you're kind of caught off guard and then you
[03:16]realize this is just this is what it is and i'm gonna embrace it oh boy i just don't hey rob i
[03:21]just gotta say if we're living in england i would be telling you right now that i'm very knackered
[03:27]oh you're very knackered i like that used to be described somebody who's very tired i that you're
[03:33]trying to take the piss out of me well i i think i think we should start adopting bloke that's a
[03:38]good way to describe somebody i know but man if you start saying bloke you automatically are
[03:44]gonna get judged by people around you you know what i mean like that's the guy at work who says
[03:48]bloke now yeah it it feels like if you don't it feels like it could be offensive or something
[03:53]like that it's a term we don't use over here right i don't know
[03:57]i just i just if a guy was saying the word bloke at my work i don't know if i'd want to hang out
[04:01]with him well it says here the male term bloke is a term for a man similar to dude or bro i always
[04:07]think of a bloke as like a fat guy with a fat guy with a hat right you know like a a not a not
[04:15]positive way of saying what's up bro or look at that guy over there it's you know look at that
[04:20]dumbass over there look at that bloke over there i don't know i think a bloke is a derogatory you
[04:26]want to bring back the word bloke and you're like oh my god i don't know i don't know i don't know
[04:27]you want more people saying bloke and we're all saying bloke hey from now on for this episode guys
[04:31]guess what we're bringing back bloke and we're gonna try to should we here's the deal man let's
[04:36]try to deal with that let's try to get aaron to say bloke okay when you know aaron's not on yet
[04:41]because he's fucking around doing shit with his family or whatever uh but we're gonna try to get
[04:45]him to say bloke when he comes on okay how's that we're gonna gas when he zigs i guess all right
[04:51]sounds good all right let's get right into the guys let's go and let's turn around and let's
[04:57]turn on the radio this is very sad this is very sad without your hearing but let's turn on the
[05:02]radio and listen uh to what's playing okay and it might be maybe the newest hit of the spring okay
[05:09]that you don't hear a lot about songs being the song of the spring but this is it right here and
[05:15]can i just tell you guys this right now it turns out singing like little richard is really hard
[05:20]it's almost it's i would say it's nigh impossible only a bloke would try to really sing like little
[05:25]i was not i was not
[05:27]bloke at all as this was i was the option this i was having i was broke as a i was i was having
[05:34]trouble with this i'll just say that right now so here we go let's turn on the radio you gotta you
[05:38]gotta be you gotta be strong like an oak if you're gonna make a bloke joke you gotta go strong and
[05:44]powerful you can't i can't on it no folks that bloke joke okay croaked but now i'm gonna be like
[05:53]an oak and i'm going to not choke
[05:57]when i joke about blokes all right we're gonna say blokes full throat hopefully this is more of
[06:01]a cheeky song oh my gosh man man is so british it's so great i love it man this is we're gonna
[06:07]be huge overseas okay actually that was just like uh my parents when they found my grades out
[06:13]they were overseas they were over they were stoked they was
[06:19]from kensington on stoke hey there's a british shit british people listen to it they were gobsmacked
[06:27]hey hey hey russell let me ask you this what do you think of french fries
[06:31]or would you rather have chips that's i gotta say they got that right chips is more
[06:39]appealing than french fries to me hey rob i think we know our opening song next week right
[06:43]what's that chips oh oh my god now chips that's a banger of a theme song russell you nailed it
[06:50]with that one good job all right let's turn on the radio i've tried to solve for air to show

[10:17]rob takes pictures of on the loo
[10:19]rob's got a shepherd's pie
[10:22]in his fridge while he's on the loo oh my god i wish blimey
[10:25]russell what's your thought on a shepherd's pie i don't need i think i've maybe had it
[10:30]once or twice it's not my jam oh what it's mashed potatoes steak peas
[10:36]that's it i mean that's i take efforts had a lot more potatoes than i thought
[10:42]i'm not really a mashed potato guy anymore oh my god they bog you down too much that's not my jam
[10:48]i'm out that's crazy man what do you think of mashed potatoes
[10:52]uh if they're done right have i told you mashed potatoes at thanksgiving i i make a great mashed
[10:58]potato of course everybody thinks that i've got a i've got one of those uh submergible blender
[11:03]things you know so that you can see so you you steam the you boil the potatoes right steam them
[11:10]so all the water gets off right after you've peeled them of course and then you get the blender
[11:15]then you put a little whole milk a couple sticks of butter blend it all together makes very creamy
[11:20]mashed potatoes i'm
[11:22]you know i'm thinking this is great i go to going to thanksgiving and my mom's side of the family
[11:26]i'm making the best mashed potatoes ever and all of a sudden my cousin shows up and her husband
[11:32]and they live on a farm and then they brought mashed potatoes too and like oh where'd you get
[11:36]the well we regrew the potatoes so they completely those blokes completely upstage me wow they
[11:43]completely upstage because they grow their own damn potatoes and made homemade mashed potatoes
[11:47]that were truly homemade now man let me ask you skins on or skins off okay this is like a
[11:52]this is like a basketball game in middle school for me if you have mashed potatoes like with
[11:55]thanksgiving yeah gotta be skin off but i love a good baked potato with skin on i you know what
[12:01]i'm gonna say something controversial i kind of like mashed potatoes with skin in there i like
[12:05]the little flecks of skin little scabs of potato in my mashed potatoes you know what i mean like
[12:09]those little scabs get to eat them i love that stuff russell what do you think i like eating
[12:13]salmon skin upstairs roommate she's out no no goodbye we need to leave russell that's not russell
[12:22]i can edit that out if you want me to that's the most fucked up take i've ever heard in my entire
[12:26]life but you're just salmon skin man all fish all fish skin no just salmon you got a wallet
[12:33]you're not talking about the gray part are you you're talking about the skin
[12:36]yeah like the scales and everything like the outs the outside of the fish what are the upstairs
[12:42]roommates say beside barf i don't know that is a that is that russell russell you know you know
[12:51]that's a guy you're you're one of hold on i'm trying to find the word you're one of my mates
[12:57]yeah but matt you strike me as you don't eat any fish right oh no i fucking love salmon i eat a lot
[13:05]of fish i make a killer salmon on the grill in the oven i've got great salmon you guys a piece
[13:12]of everyone i think you guys are the wrong salmon skin is generally edible it's nutritious and
[13:16]flavorful part of the fish keyword various ways keyword they're generally edible it's general i
[13:23]mean i'm sure i've eaten a scale here there russell but i'm not like i'm not putting the skin down as
[13:28]like the last little treat on the salmon i mean if i was you know that there's a pretty good show
[13:34]called i think it's called alone where they're out in the alaskan woods and everything like that like
[13:38]absolutely i'd be eating salmon skin yeah life dependent on right i'm not even sure bears eat
[13:43]salmon skin i think they like just eat the eggs and brain i don't think they go for the skin i i
[13:49]think you guys are in your own world i think you're wrong on this one i think you're just
[13:53]you're just scared scared punks scared okay let's let's take a bet okay aaron has come in
[14:00]okay and by the way aaron we've got aaron out in oakland okay wanker aaron recently recently went
[14:07]to a tennis umpire school he wants to be a tennis umpire and at the school the teacher said look to
[14:13]your left now look to your right that's 90 of the job that's it that's the whole thing it's just
[14:21]going back and forth i got it uh i'm ready is aaron gonna think this is is aaron gonna think
[14:25]this is fucked up matt will aaron think this is fucked up what russell just said uh you know i'm
[14:30]gonna go with a a solid yes even though this sounds like it would be but i'm gonna go with
[14:35]a solid yes you guys are way off i'm gonna say do we need to clap no we need to get a role right now
[14:42]i'm gonna say no just because of the uh the the i think this is similar to a shrimp tail russell this
[14:49]by the way that's where i put it on the same at all it's true but hold on hold on this if aaron
[14:56]says this is fucked up how fucked up yeah is it that russell does this really okay oh because
[15:03]that's like all the shit that's right go through it all yeah uh is it well what the fucked up shit
[15:10]that aaron does yeah he eats that he eats oh uh well i can't even remember the blossoms he has
[15:16]the blossoms he has the dandelion roots or whatever dandelion greens he has the soy skin
[15:22]he has the skin of the soy he's uh shrimp tails shrimp tail oh and of course we can't forget
[15:28]nooch he's got a number of yeast that he eats like he has his anus he loves the anus that's right
[15:34]well that's right russell tell aaron what you just told us i
[15:40]these guys were talking about eating something and i wasn't really listening to rob so i just
[15:44]i changed the subject and i said i enjoy eating salmon skin i always eat the skin on salmon oh
[15:49]hell yeah see wait yeah fuck yeah are you serious maybe i told you yeah i get that matt doesn't do
[15:56]it matt strikes me as he's not going to do anything that that's too strange for him but rob
[16:01]rob not eating it honestly really surprises me it's probably one of the best parts
[16:05]rob haven't you been to like bernard and or somewhere where they would like really make
[16:09]the nice beautifully crispy salmon skin like i am here would knock that out of the park
[16:14]never going to eat salmon skin i would never eat it it is gross no stop it is gross okay hey call in
[16:23]802-277-BECK let us know like you eat like a chicken drumstick right that has chicken skin
[16:28]on it what's the difference chicken skin delicious what's the difference fish skin disgusting okay
[16:34]if i make salmon at home and i make like you know
[16:38]point set like uh 12 ounces of salmon for the three of us yeah i'll make the whole filet and
[16:44]then i'll pull off the entire 12 ounce skin you eat that myself yeah yeah it's just a little chef's
[16:49]treat can i can i can i just read what ai said google ai so when i when i typed in what what
[16:55]what was the question you asked percentage of people that eat salmon skin yeah zero i tried i
[17:01]tried to i tried to get it like very general i wasn't trying to be leading or anything can i
[17:06]can i say what it says russell
[17:08]it's probably difficult to pinpoint i would imagine while there's no definitive statistic
[17:13]on the exact percentage of people who eat salmon skin it's generally considered
[17:17]that a significant minority of people regularly consume it with many choosing to remove it due to
[17:24]this is where you guys are going to come in unfamiliarity with proper cooking methods or
[17:28]concerns about texture even though it's perfectly edible it could be a healthy addition to a diet
[17:33]people are scared people don't want to eat something nice and crispy well i'm not scared
[17:38]here's i think no all i could i could salmon so that it's like i don't know medium rare i don't
[17:46]know how you i don't know how you you judge salmon like i do not like it overcooked right
[17:50]no like you're not gonna have it overcooked the skin is barely cooked at all in my opinion right
[17:56]and so if it's not on the grill you're not getting it crispy there is no way i'm eating that slimy
[18:01]shit it you gotta leave it in the fridge uncovered overnight skin side up so it forms a pellicle
[18:07]gets nice and dry and then you gotta get your skillet ripping hot put it in the skillet skin
[18:13]side down and then you get a nice crispy skin on the bottom or on the grill you start skin side up
[18:18]and then flip it over because it has time to dry out and then you can crisp it up it guys it doesn't
[18:23]matter you could tell me my penis could get bigger by eating salmon skin i'm not going to do it it
[18:27]sounds disgusting that's not true okay you would try you would try now aaron you try aaron you did
[18:34]miss the parody song but i do want to say oh sorry go ahead man
[18:37]if if somebody told you legitimately that your penis would get bigger okay i wouldn't yeah
[18:42]because there are some times where i was like i'm like i do think my life would be totally different
[18:53]if if i just had a huge schlong just just one where like everybody was always like
[18:58]like that was like i had a nickname based around it you know like like the hose rob the knob
[19:03]big knob rob you know there was a guy in the baseball team who was like i'm not gonna do it
[19:07]we called the hose it wasn't because he was a pitcher he was a j he was a jv pitcher on as a
[19:13]size a senior yeah so it had nothing to do with his arm but what i mean can you imagine that's
[19:19]what i would get like on my letter jacket the hose i mean can you imagine unless it was an
[19:23]ironic name like how people called me tiny growing up you know what i mean how my family i'm little
[19:27]rob wait and at some point do you do you choose to wear tight pants or do you have to like wear
[19:32]regular pants and then tell people you know like hey it's actually really big down there like you
[19:37]have to tell people it just takes one or two showers everybody's gonna know everybody's gonna
[19:43]know yeah a hundred percent yeah yeah i definitely would because i think in my life i think i would
[19:49]just have so much more confidence i think i really think like i certainly wouldn't be hanging out
[19:53]with any of you guys i'd be like a ceo somewhere i'd be in charge of like a big corporation with
[19:57]my huge schlong oh my god okay instead often there is often a lot of big dick energy in
[20:04]corporate exec yeah i will tell you that yeah
[20:07]instead here i am caring for my it's usually fake i never make it to that rarefied air
[20:12]yeah here i am caring for my family basically a gatherer oh my god oh god
[20:19]uh guys just let you know i did isolate the background vocals from that uh parody song so
[20:26]let me just play those real quick because they are upsetting to listen to it turns out
[20:29]getting the who for little richard is very dumb oh i tried so many times today
[20:37]let's hear it aaron let's hear your who
[20:39]oh my god that was so good really hard that was so much better than any of us right now
[20:47]i don't know listen hey rob speaking of woos you do hear a lot of those on this album
[20:53]i'm jumping the gun we're doing a list of the greatest songs ever featuring
[20:58]wow that's crazy let's start this list and i was definitely ready to hit that song
[21:03]wow we're doing a list pre-voicemail i think this is the first time i've ever done a list of the
[21:07]first time this must be a good list sometimes the pre-voicemail can make you laugh more than
[21:12]the regular voicemails that's true come organically russell just lets it come organically
[21:16]listen a lot of my pre-voicemail does come organically oh it's like eating salmon skin
[21:21]it's organic first song on the list we have to we have to highlight the greatest
[21:26]woo or ever let's give them two claps it's the rick flair theme song
[21:31]oh yeah
[21:35]i was i forgot it opens with this what a simple concept you know what i mean just a guy who says
[21:42]a lot and then is my favorite type of wrestler you know this
[21:46]the rich guy who just wrestles as a hobby my favorite theme of wrestler he could be doing
[21:54]anything with his life he's beautiful but instead he wants to go into a ring and beat the shit out
[22:01]of people in front of other people for money he's got a big house on the big screen
[22:05]side of town he's got more cars than this podcast has listeners
[22:09]i told you i i ref that wrestling meet at my school where it was semi-professional wrestlers
[22:17]it's called a match and one of the guys was a was a rick flair of course the main bad guy was
[22:23]kind of a rick flair wannabe and i gotta tell you the rick flair bit is so effective where this guy
[22:29]came in and said my jeans are worth more than every car out in this parking lot and people went
[22:35]ballistic and he's like i've been to i've been to places you people have only seen on postcards
[22:39]and i was like god this is such a good bit of just the prick rich guy it's so great
[22:44]i i'm i'm eating the salmon skin
[22:48]rob i was wondering where rick flair got the woo from and i looked it up and he got it from
[22:55]someone else i didn't give you the song we're not going to play it because we've talked about this
[22:58]guy before and when you listen to the song knowing he dated like married his 13 year old cousin it
[23:02]gets a little weird but he actually got that from a guy who was a rick flair and he was like
[23:05]from jerry lee lewis great balls of fire he said he heard that in the 70s and so then he took it
[23:10]and kind of made it his own so he changed it from like a woo to a woo but that's where it came from
[23:15]rick flair who wow jerry lee lewis was like right around the same time as little richard right
[23:20]they're kind of contemporaries and yeah that's right yeah no doubt all right next song on the
[23:24]list is from rob bass and dj easy rock it's it takes two oh nice hit it
[23:31]oh
[23:35]wow is that a james brown sample no oh that is a james brown
[23:39]and it actually comes from a famous funk song by lynn collins called think about it
[23:46]and that's one of the most sampled funk songs ever okay but i was reading and so
[23:52]i'm not sure about that james brown produced that song use his sample for the
[23:59]woo i was reading james brown like was good friends with little richard
[24:05]they got to know each other in georgia i believe that's right they would have done the chitlin
[24:08]circuit together i think for sure percent and brown actually impersonated little richard at
[24:13]a lot of shows because a lot of people didn't know what little richard looked like so james
[24:16]brown like when he couldn't make it james brown would show up and so he would really impersonate
[24:22]little richard so i'm assuming that woo has got to be influenced by little richard for sure right
[24:28]no doubt yeah the other thing that i thought you guys would love and rob you're gonna have to get
[24:32]ready to cue the music on a different soundbite i'm gonna let you hear it first so let's get started
[24:35]let's go find the james brown soundbite on your thing okay but i was actually reading one of our
[24:40]favorite songs ever he was apps absolutely uh influenced by little richard he picked up a
[24:46]napkin one time and little richard had wrote down on the napkin please please please so that was the
[24:51]influence for james brown's famous please please please whoa so he had just written down little
[24:58]richard had just written this down yes and james brown was like damn this guy's a goddamn
[25:05]genius yeah okay he also has he forgets he's like there's a nap but there's another napkin on the
[25:10]table just says long tall sally he's like i don't know what the fuck that means okay and there's
[25:14]one over here that just says wap baba loobaba wap bam boom no thank you don't need it i wonder if
[25:19]that long tall sally ever wore a black dress and was a woman in a black dress this is the holly's
[25:24]woman in a black dress that's a really good boo isn't it i like that one
[25:35]jenny has now gone to bed of course right during the woo list so graham nash aaron i think was one
[25:40]of the holly's right that's okay yeah i had beef with their status the holly's actually performed
[25:46]i think with little richard a few times and graham nash i thought the story was so crazy
[25:50]they asked him what did you think of little richard or what was your impression and his
[25:54]big story was he was backstage at a show with them and he saw him chew out jimmy hendrix for
[26:00]playing his guitar behind his head and he's like don't you ever do that again at one of my shows
[26:05]so graham nash's memory was him chewing out jimmy hendrix isn't that wild yeah i don't think little
[26:10]richard gave a shit i think he was he was the star for a long time and he would tell people what's
[26:15]what he probably told me you could either stay or you should go next song on the list is the
[26:20]clash should i stay or should i go oh there it is oh that's good oh that's good i can tell you it's
[26:32]hard do that
[26:35]joe strummer was a huge fan of little richard's music
[26:38]he said he developed his love of music listening to little richard records as a kid
[26:44]when he died he said he made his way out of the bus station to macon georgia and into the history
[26:50]books his records were great they're still sound great they will always be great can i just play
[26:56]this one for you i think this is the one where i actually laughed when i sang it so badly are you
[27:00]ready for this aaron jenny jenny jenny jenny no wait not that one
[27:05]no wait excuse me
[27:08]because i tried doing a whole because i switched it up and it did not work it's hard it's a tough
[27:22]one so russell i'm adding myself to your list i needed to make a quick clarification so matt
[27:27]didn't catch me on these i did not put anything on the list where it was a woohoo or woo ha if
[27:34]there was like a two syllable word it was off so sympathy for the devil the woohoo that didn't make
[27:40]it blur no no buster rhyme didn't make it and no no bust a woo ha so those all got vetoed from the
[27:46]list all right next up on the list this is aaron's one of his all-time favorites we talked about
[27:51]the end of black oh i don't know that one matt we might pull it this one is uh prince check this
[27:58]out yeah gotta be some prince oh that's pretty good isn't it
[28:04]yeah i mean there is a you're gonna you're probably gonna get into it there's such a direct
[28:09]line from little richard to prince talk about it i mean the the cover of the controversy album right
[28:16]he's dressed like little richard or maybe it was even the performance the mustache and everything
[28:20]right yeah he took a lot of look a lot of the mannerisms the sound yeah and i don't know if
[28:26]prince ever talk about it he didn't really say too much about little richard he was obviously
[28:30]influenced by like a stage persona his music his fashion kind of the gender and stuff like that and
[28:34]her fluidity a lot of stuff definitely came from little richard and he never really said a lot
[28:39]about little richard but little richard did call prince the little richard of his generation so i
[28:43]feel like that's a show of appreciation right i think so yeah and now that he's dead russell to me
[28:49]you're the little richard of this generation
[28:51]the last one on the list i don't know if this is a bloke if he's from the u.s or not
[28:56]i think he is so he might not be a bloke matt but this is jack check this song out
[29:04]that's a big one that is a big one isn't it it's a big one jack white
[29:17]and jack white has been known for kind of doing that woo a lot he's got the rick player going a
[29:23]lot in his songs and i was there was a it's interesting i was googling him and little
[29:28]richard and there's an interview with him and dan rather on like 60 minutes from years ago and he
[29:33]asks him like what are the
[29:34]what is the greatest rock song ever and he talks a little bit with the stooges
[29:38]and then he essentially says really the greatest rock songs come from little richard to jerry lee
[29:43]lewis so i thought that tied it all up jack white definitely influenced big time by little richard
[29:48]so yeah there's the greatest woo songs ever that's an incredible list and just like since
[29:53]the stage for russell how influential little richard was it's amazing russell i gotta tell
[29:58]you great if i was a singer and somebody wrote in the lyrics you gotta yell woo
[30:04]how stressful that is like you just it's hard to hit that note i mean guys listen to this i've
[30:08]even isolated i mean like oh and that's well actually that sounds pretty good to me that's
[30:13]so pretty good that kind of sounds fun yeah what happens if i now what happens if i loop that we
[30:17]just listen to it the whole this is rob my name is rob okay i just run rob with rob all right let's
[30:27]get into the voicemail
[30:29]pre-list voicemail russell
[30:34]voicemail list we're gonna get in the back line it's kind of half of that right seven seven back
[30:39]it's true three organic seven seven two three after that after that list russell i'm feeling
[30:43]woozy feeling woozy hey guys hope everything's going well with you i need to enter the advice
[30:52]corner for a minute oh you know that you should get to the corner like us it's a time for russell
[30:58]this guy's vice corner oh yeah my upstairs your mate
[31:04]and some neighbors were planning on attending a candlelight hip-hop concert by a string orchestra
[31:11]but we delayed getting tickets due to possible playoff football game conflicts with our hometown
[31:20]teams oh as such we missed the window to purchase tickets before they were sold out
[31:26]so my question to you all is would you choose possible sports slash football games over a night
[31:34]with your upstairs roommate and friends oh this person needs advice from three blokes who are very
[31:41]good at giving advice would you pick a night out with your friends and upstairs roommate okay or
[31:48]would you possibly think about playoff sports playoffs we're talking about the playoffs okay
[31:53]uh russell what do you think uh if it's a if it's a timberwolves game i'd rather watch the
[31:58]wolves game any other sporting event i'll probably take a night out why matt what do you think
[32:04]uh unless your kid is playing you should take a night out get you know cut the high school sports
[32:11]out okay aaron are we talking about what kind of playoffs are we talking about here high school
[32:16]football high school football playoffs but that's because the kid might be playing in the in the
[32:21]playoffs no no kids are no this is just going to the local if your kid is playing then you
[32:27]absolutely go watch your kid uh yeah then yeah if it's the high school football players it might be
[32:32]cold the game might be terrible you gotta choose the game you gotta choose the game
[32:34]the night out but one thing i will say the the caller who's calling in on this i kind of feel
[32:39]like you know which way they went they missed it obviously i will say i will say these candlelight
[32:45]concerts are a dime a dozen it's not like there's only one you can go to there's plenty of options
[32:49]so missing it once it's not like if this is a prince concert that's never going to come around
[32:54]again there's going to be other options so i actually i'm kind of on board with his line of
[32:58]thinking of saying hey you know maybe we can go to the next one and let's go check out the game
[33:04]what do you think rob
[33:05]i well i mean listen you're talking to a guy who once dragged his wife across
[33:11]north dakota to go to a high school football game to scout and it was pouring rain in north dakota
[33:17]in october and she wanted to kill me she thought it was the worst idea of all time
[33:22]going to a high school football game is her idea of an absolute nightmare however
[33:27]did you win the game for which you were scouting what's that did you win the game for which you
[33:32]were scouting oh i don't remember
[33:34]aaron who cares i was scouting the game who cares there were so many games aaron where i
[33:38]would have to go scout and then that team wouldn't even win or like be in the playoff so i just
[33:43]scouted them for nothing and plus when i bring back my notes they would always be like what the
[33:47]fuck is this shit and i was like i don't know how to scout i'm supposed to know how to scout a
[33:51]football game i wrote down what the plays were i don't know and i wrote down who their good players
[33:54]were you know like two or cover zero you know what i'll tell you what i was a fucking good scout i
[34:01]could tell you what play they were going to run on short distance i knew all these guys
[34:04]they always thought i was a fucking idiot and you know why because my handwriting looks like i have
[34:08]issues in my brain okay because my handwriting looks like a three-year-old nobody would think
[34:13]i was a very good scout i got some i got some for you guys how about this if we can get one
[34:18]of our listeners to go to a candlelight concert outside of us four of course we have there's been
[34:23]a couple that have gone how about if anyone goes in the next few weeks yeah you guys have to try

[37:22]string quartet they did a fantastic job and one of the great things about these shows we've talked
[37:26]about this before 65 70 minutes in and out it's a very quick show
[37:31]so it doesn't take up your whole night and this was actually at the westminster presbyterian
[37:36]sanctuary church in minneapolis matt that's off about 12th and marquette which is in between
[37:42]13th and probably nickel and ball somewhere over there yeah there you go
[37:47]but we got we got in there and i had bought section a tickets which is near the front
[37:54]and it was already packed we had to sit way on the side so we were staring at the backs
[38:00]of two of the performers that's tough russell you're you're not having the luck with the fever
[38:05]up lately it was a great show though they put on a good show the way um they also got the what
[38:11]what's the song we will rock you where the hands clapping so the the bass player the cello what's
[38:17]the big one aaron is that a cello the bigger one it's gonna hold the stand down you probably have
[38:22]two violins a viola and a cello yeah there you go so the cello guy got that was kind of playing
[38:26]i would call it like a slap bass style thing and got the uh you know the bass player and the cello
[38:30]got the people going with the hit the hands fired up i don't love it all that whole thing but just
[38:36]like they did a really good job it was really fun a great show i would recommend people go check it
[38:40]out russell what are they opening with i gotta imagine they're opening with flash a theme to
[38:47]flash gordon i don't remember which one they closed they obviously closed with bohemian rap
[38:51]city i'll i'll tell you a few of the songs the the list i'm looking at they changed the set list a
[38:55]little bit but some of the songs that we heard were we will rock you into we are the champions
[38:59]into we will rock you the the double song like you would expect right yeah they had somebody to
[39:05]love don't stop me now killer queen crazy little thing called love which was shocking maybe one of
[39:11]my favorite ones they did they were it was so unique and so good love of my life another one
[39:16]bites the dust those are the type of songs but i was thinking when i was there and you guys tell me
[39:21]if you were gonna take make a greatest hits album 12 songs no more no less is queen's best 12 songs
[39:29]like a top 10 greatest hits or not absolutely i think i think you you you think you can tell
[39:37]me 11 bands that would have 10 songs better than queen no way that drop off happens pretty fast
[39:44]smashing pumpkins no way
[39:49]i can't name 12 smashing pumpkin socks for sure i don't know if i named a little deceitous there
[39:57]oh got it okay no i was trying to think like
[39:59]can i really name 12 pumpkin songs what i typically do is go to amazon music if i'm
[40:06]getting like a new band and just listen to like start start at the top but like they're top songs
[40:09]right usually they yes by the rank but so stop me when it gets to 12 aaron okay i'm just gonna go
[40:14]what they've got is listed in order of the top songs for queen all right we will rock you
[40:20]bohemian rhapsody yeah under pressure another one bites the dust don't stop me now
[40:29]we are the champions fat bottom girls somebody to love yeah crazy little thing called love

[40:57]under good old-fashioned love
[40:59]i want to break free somebody to love i mean there's some great songs
[41:04]so this was a very heavily queen week for me so i don't know if you guys ever listened to
[41:10]rewatchables it's on the ringer they talk about a new movie every week and this week
[41:14]they just happen to be talking about wayne's world and they talked about like how for a lot
[41:19]of people this is for me too the first exposure i ever had to queen is without question bohemian
[41:24]rhapsody on wayne's right i didn't yeah a hundred percent i hadn't heard him before that at all
[41:29]i i mean and that's the thing is that you do people don't realize how big like i don't think
[41:36]that could happen anymore where a song from a movie it gets so big where it dominates the
[41:41]charts again for like a month it happens all the time maybe not maybe not months
[41:46]matt's in a mood today matt's not gonna let you get away with any bullshit
[41:50]he's gonna call you out what just happened was the kate bush song just came out with uh
[41:55]oh running running up a hill yeah from the stranger things
[41:59]so i listened i listened to the podcast they talked a lot about that went to the show it was
[42:03]good and then i'm gonna tell you guys more about this next week but i also when i was at the record
[42:08]store this week i picked up queen a night at the opera oh yeah wow so it was a good addition but
[42:14]that was my week with queen matt rolling going how's it going with you uh good famously of course
[42:20]the parody song for that album was about how i wanted to have sex with my car just to remind
[42:25]everybody famous everyone remembers that the one aaron aaron wrote and performed with the
[42:29]purple that was one of me okay aaron chipped in he said what about the glove compartment i was like
[42:35]uh rob can you play a song for me please uh can you just put on golden slumbers and then carry
[42:42]the weight in the end by oh yeah you know golden slumbers i'm not gonna be talking about something
[42:49]that may have had an snl character on it once there was a well i had a bunch of characters
[42:54]with this i watched the snl wayne's world characters on right you know another and i didn't
[42:59]see it at all because it was like three and a half hours but paul mccartney ended with this
[43:03]song and it was awesome and there was like 17 000 uh guests you know that were in the crowd
[43:11]instead of having like crowd members they had like past they're like peyton manning
[43:16]john ham i'm trying i can't even name a whole bunch of them but these people they're they're
[43:22]watching paul mccartney sing this song and they're all standing on their feet like in awe and
[43:29]it was like one of the coolest music things i think i've seen in a long time we've got just
[43:34]these a-list stars are watching a professional do his job and they're just in awe of watching
[43:40]this thing so it was awesome i mean there's just a million things if you haven't watched snl 50
[43:46]it's like three and a half hours i haven't even seen it all yet but it is uh
[43:50]um it is definitely worth it to watch it do you guys watch it
[43:54]yeah i did i worked my way through it over a couple nights the one thing i was really wishing i'd
[43:59]happened is there's an old snl sketch where i don't remember who the actor is where the
[44:03]he pitches to lauren to bring on the beatles and he's like he's like three thousand dollars
[44:09]to play three songs and he's like and he says she loves you yeah yeah that's a thousand bucks right
[44:14]there and i was like can you imagine if they had gotten ringo to come on with paul and lauren comes
[44:19]out with a one thousand dollar check and he's like yeah for the beatles three and i hear is one
[44:25]thousand dollars and apparently they were close oh that was close
[44:29]around and talking about it they're like it would be funny if we went in and just did it like as a
[44:32]joke yeah like that would have been an ultimate move that's cool yeah but yes the the whole
[44:38]special singing the song in a crowd it would that would have been an ensemble of a couple mates on
[44:42]that huh aaron couple mates a couple yeah it'd be great to get some blokes in there oh there it is
[44:48]we are 53 minutes in and we got aaron to say blokes just like we said we're gonna do there
[44:52]we go is that what you've been trying aaron you're putting her hands okay now aaron do you want aaron
[44:58]do you want to say this dean now this dean and then i win some more money
[45:03]the one thing i was going to ask is did you guys see the opening where paul simon opened
[45:09]yeah what did you think of that i i mean i guess i kind of get why they did it i think it kind of
[45:14]felt fun yeah but paul simon's coming to minneapolis for four nights at the office
[45:19]yeah so i in april i think i gotta go what do you think i was looking at going to but
[45:24]admittedly i don't want to be too harsh but he looked like he was maybe not going to be too harsh
[45:28]maybe past his prime a little bit and the opening that's why you got to go see yeah you got to go
[45:33]right you want to see him while you can so i'm not going to make plans to me i'm not going to
[45:38]make plans in case there's a playoff football game on that too but if there's no playoff football
[45:43]games i'll probably go watch rob was maybe going to come into town that week and we were going to
[45:48]go see that bloke garfunkel instead i i feel so stupid because i heard on tiktok that the place to
[45:56]be during this snl 50 stuff
[45:58]is you should have been going to the fucking comedy clubs in the city oh because that's where
[46:03]everybody was yeah because everybody was doing stand-up sets there like they were they were
[46:08]they were trying to work their material and so they were just nate bergatsky came out today
[46:13]some podcast was talking about just these epic epic nights where you paid like 15 bucks 18 bucks
[46:20]to get in on just on some random night and then all of these people are just like like literally
[46:25]like steve martin to martin short yeah they're like you know they're like they're like they're
[46:28]just the heaviest all-time hitters you'd be like well this is an all-time damn it okay and maybe
[46:35]maybe they could have called me too i've got a great bit about the new york knicks having sex
[46:39]with my wife that went over mediocre with a lot of people last time you know what i think i think
[46:42]they did miss we've talked about this before that that line right there remember that is also a
[46:48]famous line with chris farley where farley's doing the interview with yes mccartney is that true
[46:55]that the love you take is equal to the love you make and
[46:58]and yeah paul says yes i generally believe that and then farley like gives like a fist bump right
[47:04]oh man cool good stuff so uh i i did i did tease that i was gonna talk about divorce but it was
[47:11]basically just and we're going a little long so but i had just one hell of a week because sarah was
[47:16]sick as a dog we had eddie was sick as a dog and sarah and i just had like the worst i had like a
[47:22]russell week at work where i was just busy as all get out oh no russell week that's terrible yeah
[47:26]it's horrible horrible so i'm
[47:28]running around i'm just gonna say right now you want your weeks to be aaron weeks you do not want
[47:33]russell weeks you know what i mean you want russell you want to be at home my kids are school at 125
[47:38]every day this week so i'm also feeling pretty fucking ragged criminal oh 125 i was driving
[47:46]driving the kids to school picking them up making dinner make all this stuff and i just i i don't
[47:50]know i couldn't make it as a as a solo parent so sarah can basically do whatever she wants and
[47:56]because i can't i can't i can't i can't live life without her so she's safe i'm not safe she's safe
[48:03]that's the end of i'm not getting divorced although i gotta say man it would give a lot
[48:08]of content to the podcast i feel like that now russell is kind of dried up but i feel like if
[48:13]matt went into the dating world yeah i feel like if matt went into the dating world i don't think
[48:18]we would get as much fun information like i think matt would just be like i'm slinging it it's going
[48:22]great i'd be like no that's not right it's fun i want to hear about the disaster
[48:26]but it's just something to think about aaron did we go to you have you done your rolling going no
[48:30]i'm not are we gassing it was the meat of gas hang on i guess i need a i need a prop
[48:36]doing props for my rolling goings lately oh a pittsburgh pittsburgh pirates hat i do want to
[48:45]say first of all uh last night on the pta meeting the pta association unanimously passed the reserve
[48:55]policy that i drafted
[48:56]so i felt really proud and happy what is what is the reserve policy it was you know we're going to
[49:02]set aside x number of dollars as a reserve plus 10 for contingencies and then uh that'll be part
[49:08]of the regular budget process we're talking reserves we got a tube in moment oh my god
[49:15]but basically i raised my hand because i'm why do you need why you can't hear me we're on mute
[49:21]why do you need a contingency for your reserves the reserves like the contingency well
[49:26]we set aside don't do this again to me come on no x amount he's not right now they can hear me
[49:32]a specific budget line item and other people felt like well maybe that's not totally enough so maybe
[49:40]we got to have like a little bit more just in case so it was like it was we want to cover these things
[49:44]in the budget line items or these line items but then other people felt like well maybe that's not
[49:49]quite conservative enough so we added a little contingency but i raised my hand after a meeting
[49:53]and said yeah i want to be part of the reserve you know
[49:55]you know
[49:56]steering committee and then i wrote the thing and we defended it and and it passed and i felt
[50:01]proud of myself so aaron was this was this after you and uh your administration fired all the pta
[50:07]members too or not yeah and then there was nobody then you realized then you realized the guy who
[50:13]had the the bank account you needed him so you had to try to hire him back again yeah we said
[50:18]if anyone votes nay you're fired so that was that uh but then yeah i am i am wearing currently a
[50:26]one that you've got aaron i like this idea that you've been inspired to go through and make so
[50:29]many cuts on things i think that's great that you're being just like your heroes slashing
[50:33]slashing burn but yeah i'm wearing this i'm wearing this pittsburgh pirates hat because
[50:37]every year in little league that i've been involved in oakland little league uh north
[50:42]oakland north oakland south oakland little league every team is the a's and that's how it's always
[50:47]been and uh that's not happening anymore uh because the a's are gone so we found out about
[50:53]two weeks ago that
[50:55]we're not going to be able to do that again we're not going to be able to do that again
[50:56]wallace's team is going to be the pirates and can you guess how quickly i jumped online to buy a
[51:02]pirates hat i have always wanted an excuse to wear a pirates hat i've never been a fan i've never had
[51:08]any reason to like chuck d comente like i'm so stoked so i jumped right on it had to get a pirates
[51:15]hat i'm very excited can i say aaron the only thing i'm the only thing i'm sad about is that
[51:20]you didn't get the silver war style pittsburgh pirates hat with the yellow line
[51:26]okay i think you should be thinking about that family hat i believe my brother did send me one
[51:31]uh that was similar with the stars on it and then speaking of we are family my brother also sent me
[51:36]the picture of dave parker with the t-shirt with the uh parliament quote on it that's a fantastic
[51:42]uh i mean the pirates just have so much lore around them but mostly it was because chuck d
[51:46]always wore it i was like i definitely need to wear a pirates hat so i'm very excited about it
[51:50]you coach for a long time your kids played i love i'm glad oakland's out of their air and like kids
[51:56]should grow up with having another team name they should grow up thinking like man i like the pirates
[52:00]because i'm on the pirates like i remember being like into the utah jazz as a kid because i was on
[52:05]the jazz for a couple you should have like a team i was the blue jays when you should have those
[52:09]teams right is it is it is it no longer happening where local businesses are sponsoring teams
[52:14]i'll never forget i was like a proud metcalf mover i was abc plumbing rj riches i'm trying
[52:22]and i use forever when i would drive
[52:26]by like metcalf moving i'd be like fuck yeah we're in this together you know what i mean like i got
[52:30]your ass hey lariat lanes me and mike restovich contributed equally to that football team getting
[52:35]second place in the city championship you know what in apple valley grew up we never had those
[52:41]sponsors we must have had enough reserves in the coffers to not have a big enough sponsorship
[52:46]wow yeah i think for us it's like we get one sponsor for the league and then they get their
[52:53]little patch on there and that pays for all the t-shirts but but i'm still happy to be a part of
[52:56]practice to start next week so i'm excited russ uh rob how's it really going with rob my friend
[53:01]suzanne's father has passed away okay she said you don't have to come to the funeral and i said okay
[53:06]great you know no problem i'm i'm happy to do whatever you want she goes but it is at new
[53:12]york's most exclusive club i was like oh damn damn she said it's at the knickerbocker club
[53:19]where the membership the yearly membership is 50 000 oh okay and there's a suits dress code
[53:26]with dress shoes oh you don't own them do you i'm a sucker for a place with a dress code god i love
[53:32]a dress code do you own a suit that would meet the code though your suits are a little more lively
[53:36]than most people's suits aren't they okay can you wear the one that says cool rob in it you don't
[53:40]think they'd like my pink velour suit that i have with jellyfish on the inside yeah that says cool
[53:44]rob and even though they wouldn't print an emoji of the cool sunglasses guy it does pair well with
[53:48]your cheeto shoes as well that's a good point i now the that is a problem because my only pair of
[53:56]shoes is a 45 degree angle the soles on the outside are worn away so it looks like i am
[54:00]always tripping and falling down but i do you think that's why is that why do you think that's
[54:07]why she gave you the out why she didn't think you could beat the dress code because your suit i gotta
[54:13]say she did say you'd have to wear dress shoes and i was kind of like what the fuck like well
[54:17]do i cheat our shoes count so then i was in the inevitable in enviable position because listen to
[54:26]who have been part of the knickerbockers club fdr theodore roosevelt jp morgan john jacob astor
[54:32]uh william colin bryant like all these famous people i could be there and it put me in the

[57:48]what is it gazing you're gazing yeah i uh you know matt's not divorced so he's not out on the
[57:55]prolly up but back when i was you know out dating more i did probably this was the lady who if you
[58:01]guys remember did not was not a fan of me wearing any sort of t-shirt i was i was not allowed to wear
[58:07]t-shirts when i went out with this lady so this didn't last very long i don't remember this story
[58:11]i don't remember this story either wait a minute we have a new russell
[58:14]that would be so good if they were like
[58:24]are we gonna get the
[58:25]fog and the rivets and the smoke oh my god they say to russell no more wearing you can't wear a
[58:31]t-shirt russell goes fuck yeah take this shit off it's time to get it on let's go sorry so so i'd
[58:37]gone i probably went out with this lady five or six times very nice lady and she came from a very
[58:42]well-off background so definitely like outclassing myself or or but maybe rob's probably in this
[58:49]category as a kid but the rest of us i don't think we're do you think they had a milkman but there
[58:53]was two things that jumped out to me that i didn't like about them i didn't like about them i didn't
[58:55]like about them but there was two things that jumped out to me that i thought would be problems
[58:56]one she was a member of a like very highfalutin country club and she was telling me that we should
[59:03]go play tennis there one day and i was like oh that would be fun but then i found out you had
[59:08]to wear all white at this club and i was like i don't think i own any sort of white oh gym clothes
[59:15]that would like work or fit for me and i was like i've got to avoid this at all costs right and and
[59:20]i gotta say this too if you're wearing like white shorts yeah i just think that's a
[59:25]host of problems and i don't want to get into why it's a host of problems yeah it just is i sat in
[59:30]chocolate that'd be the first thing i said i had a junior mint on my car seat and i sat on it
[59:36]that's what was happening the other thing is and we would never even got close to this um talking
[59:42]about uh some people call them nuptials or anything like that but yes she said she was saying if if she
[59:48]ever did go down that route with someone it would have to be at a curator club and it would have to
[59:55]be a black tie for everyone and immediately i was like i don't think i know anyone that would be
[59:59]willing to do a black tie anything let alone me so this has got to be over and out well now you
[60:05]know rob would be into it oh my god i would love to i do a black tie i see you know what i think we
[60:12]should have a wedding that's a black tie anybody know anybody who can get that take care of i think
[60:15]we should get that done agree it'd be so good i would wear the biggest tails i remember that was
[60:19]the thing we do at prom we were trying to decide at prom if we're gonna get tails or not and i'm
[60:25]why was the tux place still selling place things with tails is this where we're talking about the
[60:29]music oh yeah this is where we're talking about the music sorry i'm not talking about how you're
[60:33]a sharp dressed man this this you know what it is a music podcast let's talk about the album
[60:37]i mean he loved deep chicken so it's an homage i found out my new favorite length of an album
[60:46]i thought it was 40 minutes it turns out a 28 minute album even sweeter you got a sweet album
[60:53]you got to avoid the deluxe version of the album you got to avoid the deluxe version of the album
[60:55]versions on spotify or streaming services right tutti frutti he recorded in three takes i think
[61:00]every take is on that deluxe deluxe version goes from 28 minutes to like 70 minutes so you gotta
[61:05]watch that 28 seems like the length of some other compilation type albums of this era right so it
[61:10]must it must hit a sweet spot of like two two minute and 45 second songs or something you'd
[61:14]have to you'd have to come compilation me like nine times to get to 28 it think about
[61:22]i it must be
[61:25]the length of a record right is that what it is like is this what they could put on an lp at the
[61:28]time or something i don't was this an lp i don't actually know you're well this was actually this
[61:33]is actually an album that was legitimately released in 1956 oh wow the first the first
[61:39]six songs in this album were kind of hits of his from 53 or whatever it was and then the last six
[61:45]were new songs that were just on the album so this is not a like a you would think listening to this
[61:49]you think oh this is a greatest hits album like the buddy holly we've heard like the elvis that
[61:54]we've heard but it's a great album and it's a great album and it's a great album and it's a great
[61:55]album it's not this one legitimately came out in 1956 uh and so basically little richard we're
[62:01]talking about little richard he's born in mecca in 1932 who's doing oh my god jenny's still up in
[62:06]the living room she just was talking to alexa that scared the shit out of me you'll never guess what
[62:09]she's talking to alexa about her alarm conversions between pounds and kilograms that is normally what
[62:17]we're asking how is that not second nature by now you've been doing this for years who knows who
[62:24]else is zero no we don't say stuff like not enough for us oh hey convert this well some of us around
[62:33]here talk about not going deep enough but i don't uh listen he's born just like our co-host john
[62:40]one leg is shorter than the other oh wow okay he's got the he's just like john
[62:45]which john by the way admitted to us in vegas that one of his legs is shorter than the other
[62:50]and we were so furious that he never mentioned it on the show it was a very important revelation
[62:54]yeah
[62:54]that was crazy to me and he stood there violation yeah oh no no i'm his doctor no we're not a
[63:01]covered entity so we're fine oh my god oh gross please stop talking about stuff like that here's
[63:07]the thing and by the way when john did say that we all looked at his legs and sure enough he was
[63:11]wearing one shoe that was slightly bigger than the other one it was crazy uh in 1949 little
[63:17]richard's story by the way for how he got into music is crazy he starts playing with it but you
[63:24]people discover him he's playing in something called dr new billows traveling show oh with
[63:30]basically like this medicine man that would travel around the south he's wearing turbans and capes so
[63:36]now little richard started to do the same thing so he's recording and all of a sudden he finds
[63:40]his producer robert bumps blackwell blackwell says hey i think this is going to be our record
[63:45]company's answer to ray charles okay so they go to record some songs the recordings don't do so well
[63:50]so they go and they relax at this this bar and richard then goes to the bar and he's like oh
[63:54]says hey you got to hear this dirty song i made up when i was a janitor at this job
[63:59]okay and he called it's tutti frutti the original through line from little richard to prince right
[64:05]is yeah it's incredibly right away dirty but okay he's like damn this is a really good song
[64:12]it's just too dirty so he has somebody write it immediately it blows up it's huge in the united
[64:16]states it's huge across the ocean uh in britain okay a lot of the blokes over there said hey
[64:21]right oh my it's a great song
[64:22]uh
[64:24]this guy's not a twat like i was talking about earlier before aaron got on how he could say that
[64:28]word if we lived in britain it's gonna give me australian isn't it mate okay i haven't had a lot
[64:35]of accent work lately been doing mostly american bands uh and basically the song goes all the way
[64:40]up to 21 on the bestseller chart now you got to understand this this song is released didn't we
[64:44]do derrick and the dominoes last week okay yes well they're british i'm just saying oh that's
[64:53]right they are british i forgot about that
[64:54]i mean they recorded in miami right so i guess you you were doing your miami accent last week
[65:00]i want you in miami accent hey ma let's see what you're doing oh
[65:05]oh no that was one of the worst attempts i've ever had in my life what the hell was that
[65:11]cherry remember that remember the tom the tom hanks skit rob we're gonna you're gonna be doing
[65:15]one of these oh your own apologies so you're in a bank or something that's fine i don't mind
[65:20]apologizing i want to remind you the top songs in 1955 when we were in the army we were in the army
[65:24]you don't realize how big little richard is till you look at the other songs okay of course we have
[65:29]unchained melody at number five autumn leaves at number four this is the all-time best singles of
[65:35]1955 yellow rose of texas okay okay rock around the clock and of course at number one we've heard
[65:43]this before okay by perez prado oh yeah cherry pink and black will blossom white now imagine
[65:54]this is the number one song in the u.s and all of a sudden you go hey i gotta hear this little
[66:00]richard guy you your mind would be fucking blown it would be like an alien came down and was like
[66:05]this is what music is it's crazy yeah by the way on the top singles list the ballad of davy
[66:12]crockett is on there four times the same fucking song in one year by four different singers each
[66:18]top 100 singles leanne rhymes recorded it and then trisha yearwood recorded the same thing
[66:24]now we're talking we're talking now we're speaking your language um so basically at this point now
[66:31]guys we can talk about little richard's influence or we can talk about his weird sex stuff i'm going
[66:36]to do one first and then the other so which one do you want first do you have do you have the lyrics
[66:41]the dirty tutti frutti lyrics or not we're going to get to that when i get to tutti frutti gotcha
[66:44]all right russell we'll get to that just wait hey stop turn your video back on get back in here
[66:49]come on rob can i wear a t-shirt while you read them or not oh no that's sick i want you to wear
[66:54]only a black tie the sex stuff is sort of important to his lore right this it's kind of
[67:00]we'll do that last we'll do that last basically little richard takes swing and shuffle and then
[67:05]all of a sudden he makes all four beats right it's like he even eights aaron can you explain
[67:09]to me what even eights is as a rhythm i guess it would be like that that that that that that
[67:16]instead of no swing yeah love it driving without swinging and so all of a sudden when you're
[67:24]when you look at the top songs the next couple years right it's all what we think of as rock and
[67:30]roll this was really one of the first this is little richard really started rock and roll and
[67:35]what's crazy is he was cited the two the two singers that cite him as as their real like
[67:41]inspirations otis redding and sam cook yeah imagine being cited by those two guys right
[67:47]right when he was young like sam was on some of those tours when he was young wasn't wasn't otis
[67:53]also from making george's
[67:54]it too or not yeah jimmy hendrix is an early guitar player with him james brown says he
[67:59]basically invented funk when you look at the androgyny that he has think about how that
[68:04]affects people we've already talked about the queen david bowie all these kind of glam rock
[68:07]guys i want you to think about this these people covered little richard songs elvis presley buddy
[68:14]holly bill haley pat boone everly brothers uh jerry lee lewis like all people at the same exact
[68:20]time as him so he's he's getting covered right away and you have this
[68:24]amazing singer who's not only 1950s he's black he's in the south he's gay right and all of a
[68:32]sudden he blows up and he becomes like the face of rock and roll yeah like a man wearing makeup
[68:38]with like hair scarves and then he becomes this massive star it's wild to think about
[68:44]crazy do we know do we know why they call him little richard
[68:47]well man let me tell you little richard now you're talking my language was kind of a swinging dude
[68:55]he loved to watch people bang in fact in his early 20s a female friend would drive him in a car
[69:02]around pick up men have sex with them in the back seat and let little richard watch and he in fact
[69:08]was arrested for it in 1955 guys you got to admit that's pretty awesome you know what i mean like
[69:15]if i had some stuff if i had a female
[69:17]friend who's like hey do you want to watch me have sex with men in the car we can drive around
[69:20]and be like yes i do want to see that 100 i at no time in my life would i have not wanted to see that
[69:25]i'm gonna have to give up birding that sounds way more exciting
[69:29]i mean you might like the jizz of that bird though you got to see what the you got to see
[69:37]what the jizz of a bird is like before you know what what it's all about they have cloacas that's
[69:41]a real birding term oh a jizz of a bird yes what's the jizz of a bird
[69:46]now i gotta look this up look up jim harbaugh jizz oh what no yes i'm not looking up jim harbaugh jizz
[69:54]jizz refers i don't like this and this was purple on my computer already what the hell is my family
[70:00]it's a real thing jizz refers to the entire impression that the observer receives when
[70:05]he's observing an identified unidentified bird in addition to the bird general colorization and
[70:10]behavior of the bird the habitat of the bird will help with its identification so you will identify
[70:15]the jizz of the bird and you're going to be able to identify the jizz of the bird and you're going to
[70:16]be able to identify the jizz of the bird and you're going to be able to identify the jizz of the bird
[70:17]you guys don't have anything to say about the jizz of the bird like aaron what would you say
[70:24]my jizz is right now the general coloration is sort of green and then like we know there's some
[70:30]pink and gray happening my face is really red it's pretty red at the moment yeah and then
[70:35]it's just your behavior is like pretty talkative cool and cool yeah that's your jizz you say
[70:40]provocative talkative oh and cool music podcast
[70:46]now man we're talking about the jizz of a bird you probably don't even know what that is rob i
[70:52]thought you were kind of um shaping your mustache above the lip here you're kind of letting that go
[70:56]oh get into the bathroom yeah get get your jizz together on that get your jizz together
[71:01]your jizz is off with that can i just tell you right now can i be honest with you my jizz is a
[71:08]mess right now okay i was gonna do the little richard mustache tonight i was thinking about
[71:13]it like they're really small nope nope they're really small they're really small they're really
[71:16]small no any sort of mustache carving is bound to go wrong i think white men you cannot you can't
[71:23]i could pull it off now here's what i was thinking about that guy having watching that woman have sex
[71:27]in the car how do you think that works you do you think you're driving and then you turn or you have
[71:33]to turn around like here's my question is it like a model t well yeah it's like in the 50s right so
[71:39]it's like a it's like a think of a car with big we got a rearview mirror do you have oh aaron he's
[71:45]looking in the rearview mirror he's looking in the rearview mirror he's looking in the rearview mirror
[71:46]that's perverted i wasn't even thinking about that gross i was thinking he was on his knees
[71:51]that's more perverted than just watching i'm just thinking the logistics here i was thinking well
[71:56]because you wouldn't want to just sit in the chair facing forward you have to crank your neck you know
[71:58]what i mean like what are you guys doing back there can't you sit on the passenger side
[72:02]but he was probably on his knees
[72:06]thinking about this a little bit uh and then he uh he was uh in 1962 he was arrested at first
[72:14]for spying on men urinating so oh nothing to say there i don't think there's a story in peter
[72:19]gronick's biography of sam cook uh that's called dream boogie about sam being on tour with little
[72:24]richard and little richard was constantly taking notes in his bible and then at some point someone
[72:29]got a hold of the bible and the notes were all about the men that he'd been with and their
[72:34]proclivities and their favorite positions and he was keeping detailed notes on his sexual escapades
[72:40]in his bible i love it i mean the guy i love it he was a horny
[72:44]dude i think it's so great and and listen okay i'm sure spying on men urinating is like a euphemism
[72:51]for getting caught doing gay stuff in a bathroom probably some glory hole stuff or whatever
[72:55]but that could happen to us in vegas we could get arrested and accused of spying on guys in vegas
[73:01]because we're all of us have taken pictures of men going to the bathroom in vegas can we admit to that
[73:06]i don't think russell has actually i've never done it yeah not into that not mad either
[73:10]i got robbed one time
[73:14]yeah you guys are checking out my jizz in the bathroom oh all right let's get into it with
[73:20]tutti frutti
[73:21]that was a drum pattern that he imagined is that like a top first four seconds of a song
[73:33]opening album it might be the top like right like where is music where is pop music without that
[73:38]i mean it's crazy i would guess
[73:41]everybody our age knows that opening now russell the original lyrics as he states were
[73:50]tutti frutti good booty if it don't fit don't force it you can grease it make it easy
[73:56]tutti frutti was originally about anal sex
[73:59]he was dirty i haven't done it yet but i could see why that would be an easy parody song to write
[74:08]i was writing a song about anal sex god there's so many words i mean
[74:11]just think how many things you can write with gloves i mean it's almost
[74:14]maybe he was eating salmon skin you can grease it make it easy
[74:19]the drummer claims the original words were tutti frutti good booty if it's tight it's all right and
[74:26]if it's greasy it makes it easy now that one i'm not as impressed with the writing on that one
[74:31]you know what i mean i'm just i'm trying to figure out how that's gonna fit in here
[74:35]yeah it doesn't feel like that song would have been as complimentary to like a john
[74:39]hughes movie in the 80s as the current version is
[74:41]now i know you guys just want to tell jokes okay but i actually want to get it serious right now
[74:47]what you're gonna see over and over with little richard is how fucked over he got
[74:55]by every basically everybody else who's white of his same time instantly copying his songs
[75:03]now listen to this tutti frutti okay or that version got up to 21
[75:09]in 1921
[75:11]1956
[75:12]a year after that song comes out pat boone releases his version of tutti frutti and it
[75:21]gets all the way up to number 12
[75:23]square this is so bad
[75:30]now this song is going to come up again later on the album
[75:36]but have you ever heard so little soul
[75:39]but
[75:41]this happens over and over and over where white people are taking his songs and just basically
[75:46]saying okay this is a good song i'll take it i'm sure they didn't pay him an app
[75:51]dime for it uh true fine mama listen to this what a voice
[75:55]yeah i thought about this listening to this whole album russell where does
[76:00]we we talked about that list of best singers ever is john lennon ahead of
[76:05]i think he is i think he's way ahead of craziness like this voice is incredible
[76:11]crazy how good this is uh can't believe you want to leave
[76:19]oh jesus
[76:22]i love leaving things i love finding the perfect time to leave i find i love
[76:32]thinking about the perfect people to say goodbye to when i leave
[76:35]you know the you know the perfect people to say goodbye to is who's that nobody that's
[76:41]crazy
[76:45]irish goodbye there's no reason to say goodbye no you got to let everybody know
[76:48]otherwise they're going to wonder i you got are they are they really going to wonder i guess
[76:54]rob left aaron i guess i guess mad left oh no on the 2023 version of the rolling stone
[77:01]it has john lennon 12 and little richard 11 so they do have little richard ahead of me i feel
[77:06]good about that i feel good about that thank you for checking you bet uh it's still ready
[77:11]10 better than him but okay ready teddy now of course this was released i guess aaron doesn't
[77:17]like a wreath of franklin or whitney houston or anything wow right oh sam cook yeah he's great
[77:22]billy holliday oh wow ray charles stevie wonder aaron henderson oh beyonce he's not part of not
[77:30]i wouldn't i i wouldn't put ray charles above little richard oh yeah otis redding he kind of
[77:35]wasn't very good either guys guys guys rob rob's trying to do a show i'm sorry
[77:40]he's trying to move things along when we're trying to do it when we're doing our live show
[77:45]we're going to make shirts that says aaron aaron doesn't think whitney houston is a good singer
[77:49]that's what i make everybody wear oh terrible her first song is coming up on the list soon
[77:54]this song comes out in late 55 guess who sings it on the ed sullivan show in 56 ed sullivan
[78:01]you know it's elements oh wow
[78:04]and i'm telling you all these versions pale in comparison to the little
[78:10]this is kind of fun it's fun it's just not quite
[78:16]like we we touched on when we talked about all this but it's just so
[78:21]apparent with little richard little richard baby i forgot to erase his name off all these songs
[78:26]that's why i keep saying his name don't you need a man like me these don't sound like they
[78:32]they sound like they must have been recorded over a number of years right sometimes
[78:37]i mean like i think
[78:40]it's a compilation
[78:43]they sound like a true album no the first six are the first six are a compilation the last six are
[78:48]made for this album okay yeah because like this sounds i guess it couldn't be that much younger
[78:55]so starting at number seven that's side two that's what you're saying okay slipping in a slide and
[79:01]peeping in a hiding song watching men in the urinals i feel like this is a top 500 album
[79:07]without little richard even singing if it's just the key
[79:10]this is so fun to listen to yeah it's fun
[79:17]you guys have a slip and slide growing up oh yeah we were a wet banana family rob wow
[79:26]so good man was it was the wet banana the one with the sled like you had an inflatable sled
[79:32]you could use or was that the uh ours was it was the yellow slip and slide and then i think
[79:37]there was something down at the end where maybe you'd go into like a pool or something at the
[79:40]end we always had the slip and slide and my dad would put a tarp down at the end for like a little
[79:45]extra i'll tell you what guys there's a reason a slip inside is not made from tarp we would come
[79:50]back in and our skin would just be shredded we had a neighbor that was the tarp family that
[79:55]like had a couple tarps out it was always fun but it was definitely not the same as the slip and
[80:00]slide there's no way to realize how many rocks were in your lawn than to get on a slip and slide
[80:04]it turns out your lawn has quite a few little pebbles you didn't realize over there matt do
[80:08]kids do slip and slides anymore or not oh yeah all the time yep i just buy the cheap ones because
[80:14]they break pretty easily but at the lakes uh there's some pretty good hills going into the
[80:20]lake and sarah's cousins have gotten some pretty good that's nice straight now man when you're doing
[80:25]this you're doing a slip and slide at home you ever worried about that lawn getting eaten up
[80:30]uh there was a there was a good guy named uh killabrew who said that we're
[80:38]raising kids not raising grass so i i like that i like that saying a lot the grass can come back
[80:45]i wish you would have talked about that to my dad because one day i took my big wheel out back and
[80:49]turned the sprinkler on shredded the grass in the mud it i think i was six it never grew back
[80:55]it still has not grown back back there i destroyed my dad's lawn
[80:58]we've got we got one year we were supposed to have i think it was like a coveted you're supposed to
[81:03]have like a birthday party or something like that and something didn't come through or something got

[82:50]i gotta admit if this was a concert you could not put those two songs next to
[82:51]could not put those two songs next to
[82:51]each other because you yeah yeah i was in the bathroom but they seem to be playing the same
[82:55]don't get me wrong i'm not i'm not hating on it it's amazing that's what puts this album in the
[83:00]230s is you know this music's super important but it does get a little samey as you go through the
[83:05]thing i love the middle fingers to say fuck you i'm just gonna play this faster than you you're
[83:12]not very good stop stealing my shit yeah i am with you miss anne it's like it's like back last
[83:20]week when the three of us made all those amazing jokes and rob was too sick to keep up yeah yeah
[83:26]he couldn't do it that happened in jazz too there was a movement in jazz like uh with our blakey
[83:31]and others where as west coast jazz was getting the whiter uh black artists were like we gotta
[83:36]play stuff that the white artists can't play so we can keep ours oh why i was watching guys
[83:49]p you know what though i could see where i could get horny enough where if i was into it i'd be
[83:56]watching guys p that'd be like the lowest of the low but i could see it happening that song was
[84:00]basically like a blues song right yeah i think so a little bit of you know i i just i i heard like
[84:07]a i don't know i couldn't name any blues artists but that just sounded like a blues song i think
[84:13]you're right it was brought forward yeah yeah i think you're right i don't know a lot like fat's
[84:16]domino to me uh this was released i don't know i don't know i don't know i don't know i don't know
[84:19]now listen to this this is how big little richard is this is released in june i'm big
[84:25]little richard and i'm little little why do they call me oh my god little little richard has a
[84:32]high voice but he's he's twice as tall as big little richard and they're coming out and they're
[84:38]gonna face so many richard smash and axe they usually go by axe and smash they if you want
[84:44]to flip those please oh no i gotta rewrite my christmas card
[84:49]oh shit and if you remember they also added crush in the later years
[84:54]no nobody remembers that russell yeah brian adams i think crush helped them helped everything i do
[85:00]i'll tell you guys you know what i've been jonesing for lately
[85:04]short episodes purple crush oh short episodes oh not short episodes
[85:12]uh he releases rip it up in june of 56.
[85:19]corvus and bill haley both released singles of this song on their own also in 1956 in the next
[85:26]six months this song fucking rips
[85:30]i mean this is so good this is the classic the saturday night i just got paid i'm gonna find a
[85:44]woman who's built for speed a different uh guitar like that's that's like the corvus knight in the
[85:49]squire
[85:49]sound that jimmy hendrix played that for the guitar
[85:51]so actually you guys the guitar is kind of playing the piano part there sorry russell
[86:05]oh i was gonna say there's another person who loved to rip it up and that's jeff beck
[86:10]rob if you want to pull up the song slingshot i want to hear if you guys can hear little richard
[86:15]in this
[86:19]you hear him right yeah i could hear that okay you guys may not hear it the reason
[86:31]you guys are acting like you do is because we're trying to go along with your bit here
[86:37]jeff beck's guitar was named little richard oh his white fender stratocaster he got changed to
[86:43]a surf green stratocaster that he played for many years which he called little richard
[86:49]so when it comes to playing little richard who did it better
[86:54]jeff beck did it better russell but you literally can hear a little
[87:01]little richer in here right like it's just that driving that's up the front i think so
[87:05]i mean compare that to if little richard didn't exist this is what jeff beck's guitar would have
[87:11]sounded like you know what i mean our podcast would be ripping it up if we were playing this
[87:17]on a weekly basis oh my god
[87:19]every time we play this i mean to make fun of it and it's pretty damn good
[87:23]i every time you play it i think i should listen to this more often this would be nice music to
[87:26]have in the house
[87:27]burb albert and yeah marshmallow delights
[87:34]marshmallow delights that sounds good to me next up uh jenny jenny you had to play this
[87:42]song for your wife this week right bro no but i will
[87:47]i think when she tries to tell me what to do i might escalate this have you made love to this
[87:53]i don't know how long is this too fast for the white guys
[87:58]not anymore i do jujitsu i'm telling you my abs right now are so strong
[88:06]i'm like a i'm like a pneumatic hammer i'm guessing they're stronger i'm guessing they're
[88:12]stronger than we give you credit for my abs are i mean i'm like a pneumatic hammer i'm like a pneumatic hammer
[88:17]i've got abs and then i can like i don't want to explain what i do with my legs
[88:21]they're so strong where they don't cramp up and i have to stop and say sorry i sweated on you
[88:28]you know what i mean they don't cramp up anymore uh and then she's got it
[88:35]originally called i got it but then it was in the movie uh girl can't help it
[88:40]which i guess is a famous movie oh college vibe album rob or no
[88:44]oh baby she's got it
[88:47]listen i think if you're playing this like in college this album
[88:51]i it's too old it's too old it's too old it's the kind of guy who's wearing like a boulder hat
[88:58]calling every bowler hat calling everybody walks by your dorm and says oh that sounds about right
[89:02]that he's playing a little bit yeah yeah i mean if i was making love to an older woman that worked
[89:07]at a mcdonald's maybe i would play this song i was thinking maybe it's more of a great con thing
[89:11]but now it's a little too raucous for them oh oh true they'd be like hey i
[89:17]tried to listen to perez prado over here okay please stop playing that song let's get into the
[89:22]radio i think aaron that was my first experience in life where i couldn't wear t-shirts and i
[89:27]bailed on that shit i'm telling you great con the brochure they sent us oh being the great
[89:35]con program in college sounds incredible which was a specialized program they're like you want
[89:39]to be and they look like the fucking coolest people they were fucking i'll never forget
[89:43]they were whitewater rafting in the brochure
[89:47]like fuck i want to be whitewater rafting well it turns out that this was literally and i mean
[89:53]no offense by this the biggest fucking nerds okay and they would tell you the same thing
[89:59]okay multiple guys wearing trench coats everywhere they were in great con multiple men
[90:05]everybody had transition less lenses all the transition lenses were in great con
[90:11]when you say the biggest nerds you're talking about some physically very large nerds like
[90:17]some of the literal biggest nerds i've ever seen in my life like seven foot nerds like
[90:22]these were big people yep climbing trees yeah yeah wearing capes like if bigfoot was really
[90:29]into steam warping that's what i mean it was crazy it could have easily been me you go there
[90:35]and all of a sudden you're do we know anybody that was in great con and had to drop out
[90:38]ruffle i i i never i dropped out before it started i was signed up for it in the summer
[90:43]before we started and got out of it like a month before
[90:47]it did seem like so something do you think just knowing that group of people
[90:51]that they had an orgy right like you know what i mean you could have guessed
[90:56]the next word out of that one dorm is gonna be orgy there's that one dorm down at the end that
[91:01]none of us like we went in i bet i went in a long time yeah you know that those nerdy english majors
[91:08]were having orgies and i got two words for those orgies pubic hair i bet the pubic hair that orgies
[91:14]were insane
[91:17]so you had two words for you it's wild you can just see from around james he's gonna say the
[91:23]word orgy i mean if i was bird watching at that this is number okay and i know what it is i don't
[91:30]have to look 227 on the list all right it's little richard it's a classic okay but it doesn't have
[91:38]run run reindeer on it which of course is his best song as we all know run rudolph
[91:43]whatever it was that's one thing little richard didn't have a
[91:47]christmas song did he i think he really missed out there i would love a little richard christmas song
[91:51]there's gotta be there's gotta be a little
[91:54]here's the thing okay uh is we don't care about the music we care about the list do we think this
[92:10]is appropriate at 227 originally first list came out this was album was number 50 higher on the
[92:15]list okay
[92:17]why is it now all the way up to 227 does rolling stone know something we don't know
[92:21]okay but he also didn't talk as much about aaron
[92:26]i'm having sex in the back of the car and you're in the front seat you looking back or you're just
[92:32]using the mirror using the mirror you wouldn't see the whole thing you wouldn't see my whole jizz
[92:37]if this is at at 227 okay this gets if it's perfect at 227 it's a rolling
[92:47]i can't remember it's a rolling well tone if this should be higher up on the list which of course is
[92:52]a lower number 226 225 okay uh then it would be a rolling bone it should have been higher up in the
[92:58]list or does this get a rolling groan okay what's that coming from the back seat of my car so
[93:07]strange i don't i was just driving around aaron i would turn around i would get on my knees and
[93:13]watch you i would i wouldn't want to miss a thing while you're driving to quote you'd be
[93:16]the quote i'd be driving i'd be driving with my feet but we kind of do drive with our feet if you
[93:22]think about it if you're a dog hey there's nothing in the rule book that says a dog can't drive while
[93:28]i fuck somebody in the back seat straw have one home too if you're a cheetah if it's higher on
[93:33]the list rhode island is neither a road nor an island it would be a rolling hey round can i um

[94:50]okay no gross here we don't have to answer that do you guys think you could get hard in a theater
[94:56]in public i don't think i could even if it's a porn theater i mean like if the lights are off
[95:01]yeah and i was like okay it's time to jerk off i don't know if i could even like
[95:05]in a theater you think you could erin you're giving me the look like you definitely well
[95:09]i've never jerked off but like you've never oh erin it's great you gotta try
[95:13]all right
[95:16]listen
[95:16]russell you want to okay i'm getting the vibe that russell does not want to talk about that
[95:21]i'm watching the i'm watching little richard on the peewee christmas special
[95:26]okay well you see you're getting all over that now picture what peewee's pubic hair looks like
[95:30]pretty funny isn't it all right rolling well-toned rolling bone or rolling grown
[95:35]two seven 227 matt what do you think rolling well-toned this is perfect right where it's at
[95:42]russell what do you think let's say rolling boned i feel like he's too influential like how many
[95:48]artists in the world of rock and roll are more influential and more important to to the genre
[95:53]than this guy so the only thing i could say is maybe if part of those are you know replays of
[95:57]you know previous hits but i think it's got to be higher on the list he's too influential
[96:03]um rolling bone should be higher erin what do you think rolling well-toned rolling bone or
[96:09]rolling grown i can't disagree with either matt or russell
[96:12]i might lean a little more toward the rolling boned because it is really fun to listen to and
[96:17]he is very important uh i think it's more fun to listen to than some of the stuff we heard before
[96:22]it but i'd also be fine with it where it is glad he's on the list it was fun to listen to so i'm
[96:26]gonna go with a slight rolling bone unfortunately you guys are incorrect what this gets a rolling
[96:34]origination erection okay even growing up all i heard about early rock and roll elvis elvis elvis
[96:41]maybe a little bit
[96:42]haley but elvis elvis elvis elvis bale haley's bale haley bale haley yeah that was the guy he was
[96:48]it was it was bill haley's roommate who was on an airplane you'll never guess what he had to do
[96:54]because it almost flipped upside down uh here's the thing we think about elvis but this is the
[96:59]guy that started almost everything with rock and roll right the beat the fast pace songs about
[97:03]women yelling looking like a star unclear lyrics dancing around driving around with a woman and
[97:08]watching her have sex in the backseat of a car i mean this is rock and roll like crazy
[97:12]i mean elvis used to be high on pills and pull people over in a car meanwhile
[97:17]little richard is driving up hills watching people get pulled in the back of his car

[97:54]de la soul when you want to hear about the greatest albums of all time
